🧘‍♀️ Stress affects more than just your mood—it can affect your health!

When stress becomes chronic, it can take a toll on the body and may increase the risk of health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, poor sleep, and weakened immunity.

Tai Chi is a gentle, low-impact form of physical activity that combines slow movements, breathing, balance, and mindfulness. Practicing Tai Chi regularly can help reduce stress, improve balance and flexibility, support better sleep, and contribute to an overall healthier lifestyle.

Today, we held our Program Area Committee Meeting, bringing together dedicated community agencies and partners to collaborate, share ideas, and plan meaningful Family & Community Health (FCH) programs.

Our programs are made possible because of the incredible support and partnerships we have within our community. 🤝💜 When we work together, we can create stronger programs, reach more families, and make a greater impact.

Together, we collaborate. Together, we serve. Together, we work to improve our community. 🌱💪

Thank you to all of our community partners for continuing to support and invest in the well-being of Hidalgo County! 💜

Mental health is about being present. 💚 Today, we combined movement and mindfulness with a Tai Chi class and a mental health session focused on mindful breathing. Taking a moment to slow down, breathe, and be present can make a difference in our well-being. 🌿🧘‍♀️

Knee-d to be somewhere important? Your KNEES can get you there!

- Raise the seat base so your hips slightly higher than or level with your knees.
- Move the seat so your knees are never bent at a tight, rigid 90-degree angle while resting.
- Pull over safely every 1 to 2 hours to stand up and walk around.
- Stand on one leg at a rest stop and gently pull your ankle to your glute to lengthen tight muscles.
- Keep at least 2" between your thighs and the steering wheel to have enough clearance while driving.

Taking care of your body is just as important as taking care of your vehicle. Prioritize your health and safety when on the road.
