When the cold weather hits, we may find ourselves gravitating towards more comfort foods and taking a break from the gym. While both of those things can be fine in moderation, it can be easy to slip into practices that don’t benefit our gut health. Over the years, studies have found links between our gut health and our mood, immune system, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. Here are some tips to keep your gut healthy and happy.

In our ever-changing world, it’s important to hold onto comfort and consistency when you can: especially when it’s on your own accord. It’s easy to forget to make time to care of yourself, especially when you feel like you’re trying to juggle your own schedule on top of your kids’, spouse’s, or any of the other important people in your life. By becoming a member of the Elements Whitefish Bay Wellness Program, you are in control.

January is Poverty Awareness Month and it is a time for organizations and communities to take initiative to help those in need. In the spirit of this, our staff here at Elements wants to shed light on the Street of Angels of Milwaukee. This nonprofit organization is dedicated to restoring hope, empowering individuals, and providing basic needs to people within the community. Our staff and clients at Elements will be extending our support to the Angels who go out three times a week to offer clothing, food, blankets, and hygiene items to the homeless population of Milwaukee. Our staff has chosen to focus on this organization because we believe the Streets of Angels in MKE has a strong message. We are asking our clients and community members to join us in helping Street of Angels of Milwaukee by donating directly on their website or dropping off their Wish List items (puzzles, wordsearch/crossword puzzles, pens, pencils, crayons, markers, art supplies, adult and children's coloring books, books and magazines, scotch tape, kids' scissors, small craft activities, new or gently used men's jeans size 30, 32, 34, 38, sweatpants M-3xl, sweatshirts (m-4xl), thermal underwear, ladies leggings all sizes, tents, toilet paper, candles, hand sanitizer, body wipes, blankets, sleeping bags and hygiene items) at our location. Let’s work together to help our community!
