As the days get shorter and the temperature drops, change is in the air. That's what makes fall a great time for renewal and fresh starts. If you do one thing to improve your diet this fall, eat 3 cups of beans each week. Beans are rich in protein, iron, folic acid, fiber, and potassium. Besides being a comfort food, beans add flavor and texture to soups, chili, and casseroles. If you do one thing to improve your vision, take a cue from kids, who often need back-to-school vision exams. Schedule a checkup with your eye doctor. A comprehensive exam should include an evaluation of how clearly you see, how well your eyes work together, and an assessment of your overall eye health.
And don’t forget to protect your self this winter from the flu. St. John’s can help with our drive-by flu shot clinic set for tomorrow, Wednesday, November 8th. It’ll all take place on St. John’s blvd, on our campus, starting at 7 am. And if that doesn’t work with your schedule, just drop into one of our ExpressCare locations, in Joplin or Neosho. For more information, call St. John’s Referral One at 625-2000 or log onto stj.com.
