THE WELLNESS UPDATE
A Healthier Way to Savor Pumpkin Spice Season

There’s no doubt about the most beloved flavor of fall: pumpkin spice. This warm and nutty blend makes its way into just about everything this time of year from drinks and pies to candles and even deodorant!

With all of the seasonal products, you might be wondering, is pumpkin spice actually good for us?

USER TIP OF THE MONTH

Reminder: App Update for Android

In case you missed it, the Motion Connected app for Android was updated early this year to support Health Connect—Google’s new and improved service for sharing health and fitness data across apps. 


​What you need to do: If you have an Android phone and were previously using Google Fit to sync activity data, you will need to open the Motion Connected app and go to the Settings page to enable permissions for Health Connect to sync your data.

NUTRITION CORNER
Wellness Myth #2
​​“Weight = Health”

It’s easy to assume that being “thin” means being healthy but real wellness is so much more than body size. Your daily habits matter just as much than the number on the scale. Physical activity, balanced nutrition, quality sleep, stress management, and strong social connections all play a big role in long-term.

 

Quick Tip: Don’t rely on the scale alone. Create a routine that supports your well-being! Pay attention to your energy, focus, sleep, and stress levels; these all give important clues.
