Curated by Kelly Buwalda, Teaching Artist & Certified Health Coach facebook.com/KellyBuwaldaNutrition - @buwalda.wellness Dear Families, Since March, we have been collectively dealing with stress and challenges of maintaining well-being. I wanted to offer you a list of resources so you and your families have support to stay physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy. Simple techniques like taking time for quiet reflection and deep breaths, as well as adding in some fresh veggies to your meals, can do wonders to alleviate anxiety and also provide energy for your daily needs. Below is a go-to list to boost your immune system and brighten your days. I invite you to aim for 2 links/week. Enjoy! With joy, Kelly ------------------------ Queridas familias, Desde marzo hemos estado padeciendo colectivamente stress y amenazas a nuestro bienestar. Quisiera ofrecerles una lista de recursos para que ustedes y sus familias se mantengan físicamente, mentalmente y emocionalmente saludables. Sencillas técnicas como tomarse un tiempo de reflexión en silencio, con respiraciones profundas y la adición de vegetales frescos en la dieta, pueden lograr maravillas para aliviar la ansiedad y proveer energía para sus necesidades diarias. Al final pueden encontrar una lista de cosas para hacer que ayudarán a mejorar su sistema inmunológico e iluminar sus días. Los invito a tratar, al menos, dos enlaces a la semana.! Disfrútenlos!. Con cariño, Kelly
