Healthy Shasta Vision: A community where the healthy choice is the easy choice.

Healthy Shasta is a local partnership to promote healthy and active living among north state residents. We joined forces out of concern over increasing rates of childhood obesity and chronic diseases such as type II diabetes. We are committed to long lasting community changes that make healthy choices easier, convenient, inviting and affordable everywhere you live, work, play, learn and study.

Observe Pedestrian Safety Month by Practicing Safer Speeds!
A child’s greatest risk isn’t riding the school bus — it’s approaching or leaving the bus on foot. Stay alert, slow down, and be prepared to stop when driving in school zones or anywhere children are present.

Walktober is all about promoting physical activity and wellness. One of the best ways to care for your body is sleep! You might not be able to control the factors that interfere with your sleep, but you can adopt habits that encourage better sleep! 😴

Start with these simple tips:

Set aside no more than eight hours for sleep. The recommended amount of sleep for a healthy adult is at least seven hours. Most people don't need more than eight hours in bed to be well rested! Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, including weekends. Being consistent reinforces your body's sleep-wake cycle.

🍂Keep your room cool, dark and quiet. Exposure to light in the evenings might make it more challenging to fall asleep. Avoid prolonged use of light-emitting screens just before bedtime. Consider using room-darkening shades, earplugs, a fan or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs.

🍂Try to resolve your worries or concerns before bedtime. Jot down what's on your mind and then set it aside for tomorrow.

🍂Stress management might help. Start with the basics, such as getting organized, setting priorities and delegating tasks. Meditation also can ease anxiety.

Walktober is all about creating healthy habits around physical activity! Ways to continue habit building is to "Temptation Bundle."

Temptation bundling means that you’re combining an activity you enjoy (but not necessarily a productive one) with an activity you should be doing. This can be applied to other habits you want to build like folding laundry or flossing your teeth.

For Walktober, this can look like walking to get a treat or calling a friend while you get your steps! 🍂👟🍂

Happy walking!
