Dear Subscriber,
'Take 10' for You…
Small Steps to Change

ife is not a dress rehearsal. You know that. But being the best we can be, exchanging bad habits for healthy ones, is so hard, as we know all too well. In this month's HealthyWomen Take 10, we share what researchers know now about changing behaviors and pass on their thoughts about how you can improve your odds for success.

Speaking of dress rehearsals, who among us wouldn't want to have a little more strength in our arms and improve our posture and balance without a lot of fuss? Take 10. You can. You don't own weights?

Plus, find some great fall soup recipes and lots more in this issue.

Best regards,

The National Women’s Health Resource Center Staff

P.S. And remember, Take 10 for yourself…a cup of tea, a stroll, a stretch…
