Eat Well & Be Well!
Be active – regular physical activity has many health benefits. Children and teens should get 60 minutes or more of physical activity per day and adults at least 2 hours and 30 minutes per week
Drink more water – stay hydrated and drink plenty of water, especially if you are active, are an older adult or live or work in hot conditions.
Reduce added sugars – foods and drinks with added sugars can contribute to empty calories and little or no nutrition – review ingredients on the food label to help identify sources of added sugar.
Experiment with plant-based meals – expand variety in your menus with budget friendly meatless meals. Eat a variety of plant foods. Eat vegetables, beans and lentils as meat substitutes. Try including one meatless meal per week to start.

Post COVID symptoms
Post-COVID patients may experience lingering symptoms of the virus, ranging from fatigue, cough, shortness of breath, confusion, memory issues, among others. Lingering symptoms could be debilitating, and prevent someone from returning to their pre-COVID lifestyle and routines. In these instances, individuals may become concerned about their physical and mental health due to the frustration of recovering fully from the virus and a concern for their overall health and well-being.
Healthcare facilities are expanding services to help these special circumstances to help people manage their care better, like ECHN, who has implemented a COVID Recovery Resource Line.
