Mental health is an extremely important aspect of the developing brain that can alter a child’s potential for growth. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describes mental health disorders amongst children as “serious change in the way children typically learn, behave, or handle their emotions.”

The average life expectancy in Arizona is 76 years old, and as individuals live longer, the number of older adults in the population is growing. As you age, your mental and physical abilities may begin to decline and change how you live. Creating and using healthy habits may prevent health problems and help you make the most of your life.

Nearly 17% of adults in Arizona report regularly consuming excessive amounts of alcohol. Regardless of whether you fall within this category, it can be beneficial to be aware of the guidelines and risks of alcohol to create or maintain healthy habits.

Before the new year, we discussed the “tripledemic,” the simultaneous transmission of COVID-19, Flu, and RSV. In recent weeks, there has been a decline in the number of flu and RSV cases, although the new COVID-19 sub-variant has caused an increase in COVID-19 cases throughout the nation.

Happy New Year! The start of the new year is typically accompanied by creating resolutions to ensure a happy and healthy year ahead. Creating and maintaining healthy habits can protect you from serious health problems, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes, while also helping to increase your energy and mood.

Colds, flu, and other respiratory illnesses are more common in colder months as people are indoors more often, allowing viruses to pass more easily from one person to another. With the current ‘tripledemic’ of COVID-19, Flu, and RSV simultaneously circulating, knowing the difference in the symptoms of each illness can help identify the illness you have.
