Welcome, Readers and Happy New Year!

If after a few days into this new year you are already finding you aren’t keeping your resolutions to develop a healthier lifestyle, you may want to try something different. To learn what that is, see the article on New Year’s health strategies.

While interviewing two sources for two other articles, I found it interesting that they each mentioned the pre-World War II era. One said people danced more instead of sitting around watching television, and the other said all farming was done organically back then.

But even in our modern world of television and pesticides, you can still be more physically active and consume a healthier diet. Read the articles on ballroom dancing and pesticides in produce to find out how.

Other articles include a new wind advisory program to help you protect your respiratory health, information about an ancient healing art called reflexology, tips for dealing with financial stress and a feature on Palm Canyon hiking trail.

We hope you enjoy this issues of Health Connections and that you find the articles helpful in your quest toward improved health and wellness.

And we invite you to enter our contest at contestsinyuma.com for a chance to win a prize.
