Can’t wait until Friday? Neither can we! Catch a sneak peek of what’s to come: ETS Power Ambassador Ashanti's Master Plan Workout Get In Formation: Less Salt, More Shake #IheartSummer16  The summer months are a time when we let loose; we are traveling, the days are longer, we eat takeout and indulge in cold, tasty, often unhealthy, summer treats. Family Reunions are common and salty meats and treats are enjoyed. We at EmPOWERED To Serve know how busy life gets in the summer so we will use this unique time of year to not only indulge in the treats, but also highlight the serious effect that ingredients like sodium and sugar can have on our bodies. To fight these effects, we have new workout videos to get your sweat on at home! Ok Ambassadors, Now Let’s Get In Formation! Here’s some of what you can expect starting in late July: Family Reunion e-Box (Game, Family Tree and Life-saving tools) Multicultural Health Is Why Infographic Get In Formation Videos (Workout Videos) Fit Men Cook + Healthy Soul Food Cookbook Recipes Brain Health Everyone has regrets. Don’t let your brain health be one™. Choices you make today affect your brain health as you age. Keep your mind sharp, and help prevent stroke and heart disease with simple changes.

On one side, we will address the traditional way we tend to look at health -- from the lens of our own personal health choices.

Catch us on the #FlipSideOfHealth by adding to the conversation and retweeting our daily posts on @Power2EndStroke.
