From HR: Wellness screenings can inspire you to change
Our annual Interra Health biometric screenings help improve bank employees’ quality of life by providing vital information about what kind of shape we’re in. Fox Point Universal Banker Abbey Samenfeld can testify to that! Abbey has a family history of high cholesterol, and finding that hers was too high scared her — but in a positive way. She says the test results are leading her to “turn my life around and be healthier before it’s too late.” See more about what Abbey learned and had to say!

North Shore Shape Up: Eating vegan?
If you’re eating a vegan diet — or considering it — you need to pay extra attention to ensure you get all of the nutrients you need. According to recent research, it’s not unusual for vegans to be low on iron, calcium, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin B-12. Make sure you’re eating lots of whole foods — not just processed food made without animal products — and aim to consume lots of nutritious fats like those found in avocados, nuts, olive oil, and dark chocolate, as well as greens, walnuts, and ground flaxseed for omega-3s. •••
