Fitness & Nutrition

Keeping your body healthy can really help as you recover from trauma. It will not only help you to look better, it will help you to feel better too! Getting in shape doesn’t have to be a drag, you can make it fun by setting goals, including friends, and rewarding yourself! Exercising and eating right may even:

  • Fight stress
  • Increase your energy level
  • Allow you to kick depression
  • Give you confidence
  • Your weight, hair, and skin may all improve
  • Boost your athletic performance
  • Improve mental alertness, which could even help with grades!
