December 29, 2015 Finger Lakes Connected Enewsletter

Thank you for all the generosity in reaching out to help the Woodworth family in their time of need. They are very grateful and their hearts were warmed by the outpouring of love and support.

Every New Year, I ask the kids to write down three resolutions, but this year I think just one will suffice. There is just something about writing out your personal goals that brings them one step closer to reality. 2016 is right around the corner. Thank you for being a subscriber and/or advertiser in 2015!

Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year,

Donna Bennett

Healthy Eating Series Begins Jan. 6

A six-part series called "Lifestyle Medicine & Nutrition" kicks off on Wednesday, Jan. 6, with a free information session offered from 2:30 to 4 p.m. in the ground floor conference rooms of the Constellation Center for Health and Healing at UR Medicine's Thompson Hospital, 350 Parrish St. in Canandaigua. The series is about addressing the causes of disease, rather than just treating the symptoms, with a whole-food, plant-based diet. It will feature Dr. Kerry Graff of Lake Country Medicine in Canandaigua and Linda Rowsick, a registered dietitian and certified dietitian-nutritionist at Thompson.

The remaining five classes will all be held on Wednesdays, Jan. 13 through Feb. 10, again from 2:30 to 4 p.m. The cost for the five remaining classes is $100. To register for the series (including the Jan. 6 information session), call Thompson's Wellness Department at (585) 396-6111 by Jan. 4. Space is limited.

Instructed by Rick Lynch of the Finger Lakes Yoga Center, classes will be held every Wednesday from noon to 1:15 p.m. in the Thompson Conference Center on the hospital's ground floor. The last day of the series will be Feb. 24. Gentle Yoga is designed to improve posture, strength and flexibility.
