Dear Friends of the Coalition,

If you’d like to reduce your risk for heart disease, then lighten up—both physically and mentally! This month, our wellness experts will show you how to improve your heart health by eating properly and by managing stress. In “Gold Medal Meals,” you’ll learn from the Olympic athletes how to consume low-fat meals and snacks that will keep you energized throughout the day. “Mind Over Stressful Matters” outlines several ways to change your approach to life, which may be contributing to your levels of stress.  “Healthy Leadership” offers tips for improving your relationships with the people you lead; and “Preventing Back Injuries” shows you some ways to prevent some very common, debilitating back problems. 

Here's what's in this issue:
