Weekly Newsletter – 5/28/2025

For the last week of May, there is one more vitamin I would like to highlight: vitamin C! Vitamin C is vital to the body’s healing process, which makes it so popular to help to fight off colds! It also plays a role in forming blood vessels, cartilage, muscle and collagen in bones. Our bodies do not naturally produce vitamin C, so we must get it from our diets.

The challenge this week is to learn about some food sources of vitamin C! Make sure you have enough of it in your diet to help support your body to thrive, especially with colds and the flu going around again!

Cheers,

Catherine Tro, Director of First Impressions

Healthy Living Tip

What is Sleep Hygiene?

We all want a better night’s sleep, and your sleep hygiene routine might impact the amount and quality of shut-eye you get. Sleep hygiene refers to your habits to get a good night’s sleep. The better your habits, the better your chances are of improving your sleep. 

Here are some good sleep hygiene tips:

  • Be consistent with your sleeping and waking times, even on weekends!
  • Make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and of a comfortable temperature
  • Invest in blackout curtains or a white noise machine to drown out light and sound
  • Avoid electronic devices, including phones and TV, at least an hour before bed
  • If your appliances have a “night” mode, switch this on a few hours before bed to reduce blue light
  • Make sure to get enough exercise during the day, which may help you fall asleep faster
