The recent economic crisis has caused many of us to think about ways to cut back spending and tighten budgets. Healthy eating does not have to suffer when shopping on a budget. Toby Smithson, RD, LDN, a registered dietitian with the Lake County Health Department/Community Health Center and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, says “You don’t have to shop at an expensive health food store to eat a healthy diet.”

If you live in Lake County, you’ve probably seen deer, fox, coyotes and other wildlife in close proximity to your home. Due to the loss of habitat by development, some wildlife can be seen within residential communities.

Take time to treat yourself this holiday season. Put your health first, help others, and keep more holiday “green” in your pocket with the Mundelein Park District’s FREE “Sweat with Santa” fitness programs.

Celebrating holidays with family members provides an opportunity to share more than just turkey and stuffing. This year the Lake County Health Department/Community Health Center joins the Office of the Surgeon General in declaring Thanksgiving to be “National Family History Day.” The Health Department encourages families to talk about and write down health problems that seem to run in their families as they gather to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday.
