Positive Choices is a simple guide that features healthy thoughts and recipes, and helpful information for busy families.
The purpose of the guide is to raise awareness and provide tools for families interested in changing their eating habits without having to piece together sound information from the volumes of literature and resources that are available.
It's a reference guide with handy tools for busy moms, dads, grandparents, caregivers and child care facilities. The Positive Choices Guide gives you tips on how to clear you house of unhealthy food and stock your pantry with positive choices. It can help the reader plan a weekly outline of meals to keep your food budget manageable.
Physicians, nutritional experts, registered dietitians and host of local experts contributed to this project with the express desire to help families know not only where and how to start but how to maintain long-term success using easy to prepare dishes and foods that kids will like and families can find within our community.

The event is intended to give the public an opportunity to learn more about Sutter Lakeside’s wellness philosophy, tour their Wellness Center facilities, meet members of their wellness staff and experience some of their wellness-related services.
The Well Check event features the stress-relieving benefits of biofeedback. Biofeedback is a clinically-tested, non-invasive, relaxing treatment that can be particularly useful in relieving stress-related conditions.
Research indicates that it can be effective in the treatment of other conditions such as: asthma, Raynaud's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, hot flashes, nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy, incontinence, headaches, irregular heartbeats (cardiac arrhythmias), high blood pressure, epilepsy and others.
Sutter Lakeside is committed to combining wellness with traditional “illness care.” This philosophy arose from a national study that showed that people have some – if not total – control over 70 percent of the factors that impact their health. These lifestyle factors include diet, exercise and coping with stress; and environmental factors such as noise, clutter, pollution and people’s work and home environment.
Check-in and Wellness Center tours are scheduled to begin at 5 p.m., with the first wellness talk, given by Leslie Lovejoy, Ph.D., beginning at 5:30 p.m. At 6:15 p.m. there will be a biofeedback presentation, with wellness coaching and other events to follow.
To register for the Well Check open house or for more information call the Sutter Lakeside Wellness Center at 262-5171.
