The saying, “You are what you eat” is true. Special thanks to our 🤍 Wellness team for organizing a hearty, 🥣 healthy breakfast to fuel the team for the week. The food you use as fuel can keep your body strong and healthy or break it down. It’s a slow process, but choosing healthy food most of the time will ultimately result in better overall health. #WellnessReminder
