Course Description
Basic everyday activities such as breathing, eating, exercising, and even time spent on electronic devices all work together—or sometimes against each other—to affect your physical and mental well-being. Knowing about healthy food choices and how your body uses fuel to power you through your day goes a long way in helping you maintain your physical and mental health.
How you breathe, walk, sit, and stand all may affect your mental well-being.
