Its getting cold outside and although the health care reform needs to take action now, here are some facts to help those during the winter months. I know it is cold outside and we cling to food and unhealthy eating habits follow us. It is important to say active and do little things such as taking the dog for a walk or trying to do a little fitness while watching tv, for those that are in colder weathers there are local gyms that you can take dance classes at . Here is what the experts say from the childrens hospital Boston
