Wellness tips from staff members
LaVeda Bacetti
- I walk to and from 201, 421, CCP and ODB
- Try to eat healthy
- Drink more water
- At home, I bike occasionally with my son and I enjoy dancing—especially Latin dancing with my husband
Chauna Brocht
My tip is Community Acupuncture. It’s only $25 which is a lot less than private acupuncture. It is a great stress reliever. There are clinics all over but I go to Mend in Remington.
Edith Augustson
I wanted to share my secret to remaining flu and cold free prior to any flu shot (I have only had a flu shot twice in my life due to it being mandatory for a job).
- Echinacea
- Golden seal
- Ginseng
- Vitamin C
- Green Tea (loose—boil, strain and drink)
Method: I take 3 of each in pill form day and night after I’m exposed to someone sick or begin to feel any symptoms.
A special thanks to the vendors that came out!
- Smoothie King
- Under Armour
- Brick Bodies
- PNC
- Carefirst
- EyeMed
- Cigna
- AFLAC
