Wellness resources

Here are some online resources that I use most often (some have newsletters too). They are helpful if you are interested in reading and learning more about taking care of you and your family's health. This is not a comprehensive list, but just some of the resources that I use most often.

• Tasting Mindfulness blog by Dr. Lynn Rossy (University of Missouri), posts about mindful eating, mindlessness, stress reduction, and more.

• Food and Drug Administration (FDA) food recalls, market withdrawals, and safety alerts.  You can also sign up to have food recalls emailed to you.

• Missouri Families, produced by HES Extension (University of Missouri) features articles on nutrition, finance, relationships, food safety, food preservation, housing, aging, and much more. You can sign up to receive the weekly e-newsletter.

• American Council on Exercise (ACE) Get Fit. You will find an exercise library, workouts, product reviews, recipes, and Fit Facts handouts.  

• Nutrition Mythbusters by MU Extension nutrition specialists with twice weekly posts to help understand the many nutrition, health, and physical activity myths. 

•  Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formally the American Dietetics Association) website that features tips and articles on healthy eating.

• The eXtension website, research-based information on a variety of topics (community, disasters, family, farm, nutrition/health, youth, etc) from a network of Cooperative Extension and state Extension services.

• University of Missouri System YouTube channel. Click on the Extension link to view videos relevant to MU Extension.
