A new week and we're kicking off our Healthy @ Home campaign. Local businesses offering healthy tips for you & your family, your business, and your home.


HEALTHY EATING


It can be challenging to find healthy foods to feed yourself and your family. The Virginia Family Nutrition Program partners with local food retailers to make finding nutritious, low-cost options easier so you can Shop Smart, Eat Smart. Find more details here.



Tammy with Devil's Backbone Fitness offers help on How to stay on track and how to set yourself up for success instead of for failure. Check it out here.



You can find healthy foods every day at Jon Henry General Store in New Market like these; Tuna Fish, Quinoa ( cereal + grain), Whole Wheat Pastas & Breads, Milk (Whole + Skim), Eggs, peanut butter, honey, and lots of fresh farm produce. Watch for his specials on hand sanitizer too.


Here's an "exercise snack" offered by Lisa Mauck, Independent Health Coach with Optavia and owner of Mauck Group International, LLC. This definitely beats mindlessly staring into the fridge. Try to do 3 "exercise snacks" a day to stay energized like walking up and down the stairs at home.

Optavia is a professional healthy services and lifestyles company that trains health care professionals and certified coaches to provide a comprehensive system of support for clients to utilize Optavia's scientifically based and clinically proven portion controlled fuelings to help clients reach or maintain a healthy weight while transforming their lives, one healthy habit at a time.


South Street Barn Market - Open every Saturday in Woodstock from 9am-1pm offering farm fresh veggies and fruits, meats, eggs, chicken, gluten-free breads and so much more. 



Foraged greens are free, and usually far more nutrient rich than supermarket or even home-grown greens! Check out Sustainability Matters' new #BackyardEdibles series on our Facebook or Instagram (@sustainabilitymattersVA) and get the whole family harvesting.

Eating the right bedtime foods will help you fall asleep quicker, build lean muscle while you snooze and keep you satisfied all night long to avoid morning hunger and next-day junk food cravings. Here are some nutrient-packed snacks to benefit your body before bedtime. Check their post comments section for more details about each item!

Avoid Scams

On one hand, the coronavirus has brought out the best in us. People across the country are pitching in to help others, from providing protective masks to health care workers to holding video chats with confined residents of assisted living homes to simply buying gift cards to support local businesses. On the other hand, a small number of bad actors are taking advantage of the situation to try to defraud people. How can you guard against these virus-related scams? Read more here from Crystal G.F. Hollar, an Edward Jones Financial Advisor.
