Handy Health Advice

Berkeley Wellness Alerts is a free online health advice newsletter that provides information that can increase your knowledge of health—knowledge you can use when you work with your students. Information is provided on a variety of topics including healthy habits, healthy eating, and exercise. The May 11, 2012 newsletter, for example, includes Handwashing: Handy Advice, with guidelines about when and how long to wash hands, advice on drying hands, and whether using hand sanitizers and antibacterial soaps is a good idea. There are alerts on protein supplements, the positives of eating eggs and drinking milk, tooth brushing tips, and more.
