MHEALTHY REWARDS IS BACK!

Understanding your health and well-being needs is one of the best things you can do for yourself. This year, MHealthy Rewards includes simply completing the confidential health questionnaire (HQ). It takes about 10 minutes and is a chance to check in on your well-being. You'll also earn a $75 reward in your paycheck. It's that easy!

Take your HQ on the MHealthy Portal. Available to active, benefits-eligible faculty and staff.

FEBRUARY IS AMERICAN HEART MONTH

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. High blood pressure increases your risk for heart disease and stroke.

Fortunately, up to 80% of heart disease is preventable, and there are many things you can do to reduce your risk. The university offers programs and resources to help raise your awareness and improve your heart health.

ATTEND HEART HEALTHY COOKING CLASSES

Eating healthier can help to reduce our risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. Registration is now open for February's two-class cooking series focused on creating delicious, heart healthy dishes. You'll interact live with chefs and dietitians while learning to make healthier foods you'll love. New cooking classes are offered each month!

Nourish Your Whole Self

Based on the concept of intuitive eating, this free 12-week program helps you tune into yourself to make choices that support you feeling nourished. MHealthy coaches offer guidance on eating mindfully, being kind to yourself and being thankful for your body. Register for January and February sessions.

In-person physical activity classes have started at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube, Wolverine Tower, NCRC, KMS, UH South Wellness Center and more. There's still time to join and the cost will be prorated. Sign up for yoga, strength training, cardio drumming, Zumba and more.

To help you be your best at work and at home, MHealthy supports U-M's philosophy that many factors impact your personal well-being.
