Greetings and Happy May. If you’re new to our EnergyFirst community, we welcome you! Did you know the month of May was named for Maia, ancient Roman Goddess of springtime and renewal? May is indeed a great month to renew and revitalize. One way to do so is to take a “wellness inventory”. Do you need more rest, time for fitness, or focus on healthy eating? When you make yourself a priority and gain more energy and vitality, those around you benefit as well.
We also toast women of all ages during Women’s Health Week May 9–15. A question for our female readers: are you doing all you can for your health? How about taking this opportunity to review your nutrition regimen? For example, do you know what the 5 most important nutritional supplements are for women–and why? Read this short piece and see if you’re getting what you need each day.
May is also National Mental Health Month. Many studies have examined the way certain foods can influence how we feel. For example, did you know that depression–which affects at least 40 million American adults–appears to be partially caused by consuming too little of one important item? Whether you face the blues on occasion—or just want to protect yourself in future–this article is a worthy read.
Additionally, May is National Arthritis Month. Did you assume this topic was only for our later years? Read this piece and you’ll see why becoming better informed now is your best defense.
In closing, we’d like to thank all of you who have joined us recently, both on our site and on facebook. We’re elated to see so many people place a premium on their health and embrace wellness solutions that work. Stay tuned, we have many valuable things to share with you in the coming months.
Here’s to your health!
Gerry Morton
