❄️🚶‍♂️ Winter Walks = Big Health Benefits 🚶‍♀️❄️

Don’t let the cold keep you inside—getting outside for a winter walk can do wonders for your mind and body! Even just a short stroll boosts circulation, strengthens your immune system, and helps shake off stress. The crisp air can increase energy levels, lift your mood, and give you a healthy dose of daylight during the darker months.

Bundling up and taking a walk is a simple, refreshing way to stay active all winter long. So grab your hat, lace up your boots and enjoy the peaceful beauty of the season—your body (and your mind!) will thank you.

November is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month—a reminder to prioritize men’s health and start conversations that could save a life.

Prostate cancer is common, but when caught early, it’s highly treatable. Here’s what we want our patients to know:

🔵 Know your risk. Age, family history and certain genetic factors can increase your chances.
🔵 Talk to your provider about screening. A simple blood test (PSA) may be recommended depending on your age and risk factors.
🔵 Pay attention to changes. Urinary changes or persistent discomfort shouldn’t be ignored—come see us.
🔵 Healthy habits matter. Regular exercise, balanced nutrition and maintaining a healthy weight all support prostate health.

We’re here to guide you, answer questions and support you in staying healthy—this month and every month. 💙

❄️ Staying Healthy in the Winter Months

Winter in Northern Michigan is beautiful—and staying active outdoors can do wonders for your physical and mental health! Here are a few tips from your West Front Primary Care team to help you stay healthy and enjoy the season:

🏃‍♂️ Keep moving. Even short walks, snowshoeing or a quick sledding run with the kids can boost energy and support heart health.
🧤 Dress in layers. Stay warm and dry by wearing moisture-wicking layers, insulated coats, hats, gloves and waterproof boots.
💧 Stay hydrated. It’s easy to forget water when it’s cold, but hydration keeps your body functioning at its best.
☀️ Soak up daylight. Try to get outside during daylight hours to support mood, sleep, and vitamin D levels.
🛏️ Prioritize rest. Adequate sleep keeps your immune system strong through cold and flu season.
🥗 Fuel up. Nourish your body with balanced meals, seasonal produce, and warm soups.

With a little preparation, winter can be an opportunity to embrace fresh air, stay active, and support your overall well-being. ❄️💙

November is American Diabetes Month—a time to shine a light on prevention, awareness and small everyday choices that make a big difference. Here are a few simple tips from our providers to support healthier blood sugar and overall wellness:

🫐 Choose whole foods first. Aim for balanced meals with lean proteins, fiber-rich veggies and whole grains to help keep blood sugar steady.
🚶 Move your body daily. Even a 20–30 minute walk can improve insulin sensitivity and boost energy.
💧 Stay hydrated. Water helps your body regulate blood sugar more effectively.
🧂 Watch hidden sugars & carbs. Sneaky sources include sauces, flavored drinks and packaged snacks—check labels when you can.
🩺 Keep up with regular check-ins. Whether you’re managing diabetes or working to prevent it, consistent visits with your provider help catch changes early.

Your health is a journey, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. 💙
