Modeling the Way...
“A healthy lifestyle including regular exercise can decrease stress and help increase productivity at both home and work. It certainly makes it easier to counsel children on healthy activities if you model that yourself.”
Brian Lynch, MD, Academic Pediatrician at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN
