💡 Wellness Wednesday: Adjusting to Shorter Days 💓

As daylight hours decrease, it’s common to feel more tired, sluggish, or even down — but your heart still needs routine care and movement. Try these tips to stay healthy and energized:

☀️ Maximize natural light – Open blinds early, sit near windows, or step outside during lunch. Sunlight helps regulate your body clock and mood.

🏃‍♀️ Stay active indoors – If evening walks are harder, switch to morning strolls, treadmill sessions, or at-home workouts.

🕯️ Create a relaxing nighttime routine – Limit screens an hour before bed; try reading or stretching to promote better sleep.

🍲 Eat for energy – Choose balanced meals with lean proteins, whole grains, and heart-healthy fats (like salmon, nuts, and avocado).

💬 Stay connected – Shorter days can feel isolating. Check in with friends or family — social connection is good for your heart, too.

✨ A little light goes a long way — for your heart, mind, and body! ✨

November is — a time to raise awareness about how diabetes affects more than just your blood sugar. It also impacts your heart health. ❤️
