Did you know...
... increased levels of air pollution have been shown to have cardiovascular effects such as alterations in blood pressure and faster progression of Coronary Artery Disease, not to mention the other effects the environment can have on your physical wellness.

Today at 8:30pm for one hour everyone around the world is encouraged to participate in Earth Hour. An hour to reduce your carbon footprint by going lights out. Check out the website http://www.earthhour.org/home.
I’ve decided to spend the hour playing board games with my family and working on my relational wellness, what a way to reduce health risk and build on wellness.
What will you be doing?
