Today's tip:
Wellness


Did you know that your body burns calories even as you sleep? This doesn't mean you should eat a big meal right before you go to bed. The most important meal of the day is breakfast. A balanced breakfast can get your metabolism jump-started and give you the energy you need to start your day off right.

-- Corey Snyder, WorkLife Programs intern
