After facing the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Greenville is getting back on its feet — and so are we. Prisma Health is here to help you refocus on your wellness goals as we recover and rebuild together.

Whether you’re looking to restart your workout routine or simply want to return to feeling your best, these health hacks will support your fitness journey. So, take a deep breath, grab your favorite refreshing smoothie, and dive into our top three wellness tips for getting back on track.

Start the day on a positive note

Now more than ever, starting your day with a positive mindset can set the tone for a successful day. Establishing a morning routine that includes direct sunlight and some form of movement — whether it’s a gentle walk or light stretching — can help reset your internal clock, boost your mood, and make a lasting impact on your overall health.

Get the support you need for your workout

Whether you’re just getting started or picking up where you left off, now’s the perfect time to get moving again. But before you hit the ground running, make sure you have the proper footwear. The right shoes are essential for comfort, injury prevention, and overall support.

From choosing the right size to selecting the right style, there are many factors that go into finding the right shoe for you.

Fuel your body with nutritious dishes

In times of stress and recovery, proper nutrition is key. A balanced diet with plenty of hydration and nutritious meals can give your body the energy it needs to bounce back. Starting your day with a balanced breakfast, staying hydrated, and incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables can help elevate your energy levels and enhance your overall well-being.

These small-yet-impactful changes can boost your mood, increase your energy, and support your body’s recovery. Greenville has weathered the storm, and now it’s time to rebuild, recharge, and reenergize our bodies and our community.

If you’d like to support the community’s recovery, we encourage you to explore local donation and volunteer opportunities to make a positive impact.

Keep an eye out for upcoming issues of GVLtoday Wellness for more tips and resources as we continue to recover and thrive together.

3 tips for safe post-storm clean up

Taking the proper precautions can help reduce your chances of injury during storm cleanup efforts and help you get back to normal as soon as possible. | Photo provided by Prisma Health

After a storm, safety is key when starting the cleanup process. Here are three essential tips:

Wear protective gear: Use gloves, boots, and masks to prevent injuries and exposure to harmful debris.
Watch for electrical hazards: Stay clear of downed power lines and water-damaged outlets to avoid electric shock.
Prevent muscle injuries: Avoid strains and sprains by lifting heavy debris with your legs, not your back. Use tools like a wheelbarrow or dolly, and ask for help when needed.

Stay safe, and prioritize your health while restoring your property.
