In this health and wellness issue of Woodbury Magazine, we’re focusing on self-care and well-being. Self-care begins with focusing on how you can better yourself emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. Mindfulness and well-being program instructor Mariann Johnson says, “At the center, we think that self-care really means understanding that we are human beings … and our health is being impacted by so many facets … Self-care means pausing, and January is a great time to do that.” Flip to page 20 for Johnson’s tips on practicing self-care.
Also in this issue of Woodbury Magazine, we’re chatting healthier eating. On page 24, managing creative director Renée Stewart-Hester interviews the Oldways Whole Grains Council program director Caroline Sluyter about different grains—quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat included. And on page 42, Hailey Almsted talks with lifestyle blogger Kelly Zugay about the benefits of the vegan diet.
