We were fortunate to have an autumn filled with warm temperatures. Now the holidays are upon us and they have brought the cold weather with them. Suddenly,  it’s time to get ready for winter.  Find your boots and your shovel, but also check out some healthy winter lifestyle options. Whether it’s joining a gym, substituting something nutritious for something sweet, getting a flu shot or a health screening, there are plenty of resources available.  Here are a few tips we recommend:
