and our energy. Exercise is an important part of staying healthy, so find something you love to do. This time of year is great for a wintry hike, skiing, or snowshoeing. Shoveling snow is also a great workout! For an indoor option, find an energetic YouTube workout, grab a pal, and get going! 3. MAKE (AND KEEP) WELLNESS APPOINTMENTS It’s easy to let years go by without seeing your doctor or other medical providers. If this sounds like you, make a plan to fit in those important wellness appointments this year. An annual physical is vital preventive care, and it’s a chance to talk to your doctor about any concerns you have. Your biannual visits with your dentist are equally important — your oral health is part of your overall health, after all, and these appointments help prevent the buildup of plaque. Plus, it’s easier to smile when you’re happy with how your smile looks! Even if it’s been a while since your last visit, don’t worry. We’re happy to get you back on track, so give us a call. We can’t wait to take care of your dental needs and bring you even more smiles in 2019!

The endorphins we release when we exercise boost our mood
