November marks Diabetes Awareness Month. Halloween candies, upcoming holiday meals and festivities, sunsets in early afternoon, and colder weather all contribute to a decrease in overall activity and health for many people. It's important that we stay active, get some sunshine when possible, and watch our sugar intake. Approximately 10.5% of individuals in the United States have been diagnosed with diabetes. This is a serious ailment that often leads to other health issues related to circulation, heart disease, kidney failure, and more.

So what can you do to prevent or manage this disease? Watch your sugar intake and ensure you are taking in plenty of vegetables and protein. Glucose (sugar) is necessary for energy production but must be consumed in moderation. Click here to visit the American Diabetes Association webpage to learn more about prevention, awareness, and recovery from this difficult disease.

Health MPowers recognized and rewarded students who participated in recording informational videos related to the Eat, Drink, Move initiative earlier this Fall. Students received $300 gift certificates for their hard work and contribution to building healthy lifestyles among their peers. Thank you to Health MPowers for this amazing partnership!
