Learning about proven strategies\, philosophies\, and best practices will empower you to make positive\, meaningful\, and most importantly\, lasting changes to your lifestyle. \nThis special series\, presented in collaboration between the Winter Park Health Foundation and AdventHealth\, is designed to give you the tools you need to get started on this journey. Throughout this seven-week series of workshops\, you’ll learn the latest in healthy living research from those studying it deeply – AdventHealth University Community Health Nursing students. \nEach week\, the NURS440 students\, in collaboration with their instructors\, these future leaders in health care will present the latest information on health-related topics\, organized under the umbrella of the renowned CREATION Health principles. Each session will also kick off with useful screenings\, such as blood pressure\, heart rate\, oxygen saturation\, etc. \nWe invite you to join us for one\, two or all seven of these interactive sessions\, held in the Center for Health & Wellbeing’s Healthy Living Experience\, and start improving your health today. The sessions will follow this schedule: \n\nSeptember 22: Choice\nSeptember 29: Rest (rescheduled for Oct. 6)\nOctober 6: Environment\nOctober 13: Activity\nOctober 20: Trust\nOctober 27: Interpersonal Relationships & Outlook\nNovember 3: Nutrition\n\nOn October 6\, we’ll focus on: Rest + Environment: \nRest is the restoration of your body\, mind and spirit. Your best rest includes a good night’s sleep and making time to relax daily\, weekly and yearly. \nWe tend to associate the word “appointment” with structured and productive events such as meetings\, check-ups and interviews. Sleep and relaxation are unstructured\, seemingly unproductive events; they seem like the opposite of appointments. Because of this\, it can be easy to think of rest as unimportant. For a whole and healthy life\, rest should be a top priority. \nRelaxation also needs a set time: daily\, weekly and annually. At each level\, the key is to choose reasonable and refreshing activities. These could be as simple as finding time to go for a walk at work or taking a day of rest each week. What is considered restful may vary from person to person\, so it is important to be genuine in your choice. \nIn this session\, learn how to recognize when it’s time to rest and get strategies for incorporating it into your everyday life. \nPlus\, Environment lies outside of your body and affects what takes place inside your body. What you perceive through your senses impacts your well-being. \nThis is true about our larger environment (the air we breathe and the water we drink) and our personal environment (light\, sound\, aroma and touch). It is easy to understand how the former affects us. Our bodies often respond in obvious ways to things that are not good for us. What is less obvious is the effect that our personal environment can have upon the mind. \nIn order to live well\, we must choose an environment that elicits positive responses from us. We have to maximize the positive and minimize the negative. \nIn this session\, learn how to create a nurturing\, healthy environment for your life.

What We Fight For: Plastic Pollution\, Ocean Protection\, Beach Access\, Coastal Preservation and Clean Water. \nThe mission statement for the Surfrider Foundation’s Rise Above Plastics program includes advocating for the reduction of single-use plastics and the recycling of all plastics. Source reduction is the Foundation’s primary goal and recycling is secondary. At its beach cleanups\, the majority of the material removed from the beach is single-use plastic and Surfrider Foundation chapters often seek ways to recycle plastics and other materials that are not accepted in local curbside recycling programs. \nThe Surfrider Foundation first launched the Ocean Friendly Restaurants (OFR) program in 2013 with Surfrider’s Huntington Beach chapter. The OFR program quickly expanded throughout the U.S.\, becoming a nationally recognized program in 2018 and has recruited 750+ restaurants nationwide. The OFR program recognizes restaurants that are committed to cutting out wasteful single-use plastic and offer a simple\, straightforward framework to help them make sustainable choices for our ocean. The result is a community of eco-conscious restaurants\, activists\, and patrons that support a healthy lifestyle not only for us but also for our planet. The larger the Surfrider Foundation grows its network of Ocean Friendly leaders\, the more mainstream the concept of plastic-free becomes. \nSpecial Note: Learning\, engaging\, and finding solutions. The monthly IDEAS Hive meetings allow experts from several different topics to educate you on environmental issues before inviting you to produce your own local solutions. \nThis program is presented by Nicole Smith and hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation in collaboration with IDEAS For Us. \nAbout the Program Presenters \nNicole Smith: Ocean Friendly Restaurant Coordinator (Orlando Chapter – Surfrider Foundation) \nAbout the Presenting Organization \nIDEAS For Us brings in experts on environmental topics and allows them to educate our audience\, equipping them with the knowledge they need to make innovative solutions to climate change.

They can be very therapeutic because you are literally bathed in sound waves\, where you will enter a state of deep relaxation. Sound baths help facilitate shifts in our brainwaves by using entrainment. Entrainment synchronizes our brainwaves by providing a stable frequency which the brainwaves can attune to. By listening to the rhythm and frequencies of the crystal bowls\, we can downshift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness) and even reach theta (meditative state) where profound learning\, healing and growth can occur. \nThis sound healing experience is designed to clear and release negative energy\, open your heart\, and promote a quieter state of mind. The harmonious sounds are created to support your body’s natural healing processes while you recline on blankets and pillows. After the session\, you’ll leave feeling mentally and physically rested\, ready to enjoy the peace and tranquility of a healthy mind\, body and spirit. \nSpecial Instructions: Attendees can sit in a chair or on the floor for this program. Participants are encouraged to bring a yoga mat\, towel\, or small blanket; chairs will be available for those who prefer to use one. The room can also be cool during this program\, so cold-sensitive participants may also want to bring a light jacket or sweater. All attendees are also encouraged to bring their own bottles of water. \nThis program is presented by Camille Sacco and hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation. \n  \nAbout the Program Presenter \nCamille Sacco is an American Institute of Health Care Professionals Mindfulness Coach and meditation instructor. She is also a graduate of the acclaimed Palouse Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course.

Learning about proven strategies\, philosophies\, and best practices will empower you to make positive\, meaningful\, and most importantly\, lasting changes to your lifestyle. \nThis special series\, presented in collaboration between the Winter Park Health Foundation and AdventHealth\, is designed to give you the tools you need to get started on this journey. Throughout this seven-week series of workshops\, you’ll learn the latest in healthy living research from those studying it deeply – AdventHealth University Community Health Nursing students. \nEach week\, the NURS440 students\, in collaboration with their instructors\, these future leaders in health care will present the latest information on health-related topics\, organized under the umbrella of the renowned CREATION Health principles. Each session will also kick off with useful screenings\, such as blood pressure\, heart rate\, oxygen saturation\, etc. \nWe invite you to join us for one\, two or all seven of these interactive sessions\, held in the Center for Health & Wellbeing’s Healthy Living Experience\, and start improving your health today.

The decisions people make (good and bad) are constantly changing the world around us. But Choice doesn’t originate in the world around us. It begins within the mind\, in the frontal lobe to be exact. This is where our judgment\, reasoning\, social norms and long-term planning take place. These all contribute to making healthy\, life-giving choices. Human reasoning and planning capabilities are more powerful and complex than those of other species\, which allows for informed decision making. \nStudies have shown that people who believe they have control over their own lives are healthier\, happier and live longer. This is the power of Choice at work. This belief is reflected in everything they do – the goals they set\, the habits they form and the balance they find in their lives. \nIn this session\, learn how to harness the power of choice to control your life. \nCancelling Your Reservation: If you are unable to attend a program\, cancelling your reservation gives us an accurate count of how many to expect; for sold-out programs\, cancelling your reservation also allows someone on the waitlist to attend in your place.

Numerous studies have shown low GI diets can reduce blood sugar levels (something especially important for those with diabetes)\, lower the risk of heart disease\, aid in weight loss\, and lower cholesterol. One of the best parts of low glycemic cooking is it’s easy to follow\, once you learn which swaps to make. In this live\, interactive cooking program\, Edible Orlando Magazine Editor Katie Farmand will demonstrate delicious recipes highlighting low GI foods while inspiring you to focus on your health\, starting in the kitchen. \nWhile attending this program\, participants will receive a booklet for the following demonstrated recipes: \n\nGinger broth with chicken meatballs\nBarley Tabbouleh\nDark chocolate-nut clusters\n\nThis is a demonstration-style cooking program\, so prepare to sit back\, relax and let our chef prepare the meal while you enjoy delicious items. \nPlease note: Registration for all cooking programs close 72 hours in advance so our chefs have time to prepare ingredients accordingly.
