We know what you're thinking--how could the holiday season possibly be good for your health. The candy and cookies are everywhere, people drink more than usual, eat more often and heaver meals, and exercise less in the month of December. What is possibly healthy about the holiday season?
Answer: Giving gifts!
Check out the recent New York Times article discusses the connection between acts of generosity--or gift-giving--and health.
Here at City Tech you may give in a number of ways: drop off a can of food in one of the many boxes located about campus (including the Student Wellness Center!) or donate a gently used coat at box in front of the cafeteria.
Give of your time to friends, partners or spouses, children. Give a spontaneous kind gesture to a stranger. Try offering your subway seat!
