It’s a challenging time. We can survive this trying time by being responsible, generous and vigilant about our own health and that of others. But there is one more important thing – be good to yourself. That means making sure you’ve included healthy eating options in your grocery cart, staying physically and mentally active, and getting outside.

Read about it in Health and the City.
