Plan Your Trip with CATA!

CATA has paired with Transit, an international mobile app, to bring trip planning and bus tracking technology to the Lansing area.

This free app will allow MSU faculty, staff and students to access CATA’s bus routes, ride-sharing options, walking directions, bike path options and Uber all at their fingertips. The app is available for download on iOS and Android.

Basketball season is already here, and soon so will be the snow! Avoid walking to the Breslin in a storm by finding available Ubers or bus routes from where you park. Are you a faculty member with a class in one building and your office in another? Plan how to get from Brody to Natural Sciences by mapping bus routes and walking paths before you leave!

Health Matters: Diabetes

Diabetes is a leading cause of death in many nations. While complex, it is manageable.

Diabetes is a disorder of the metabolism that requires diligent attention to manage. Based on the two types of diabetes, prevention and treatment vary.

Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5-10 percent of people who have diabetes. Type 1 causes the body’s immune system to destroy cells that release insulin. It is not known how to prevent type 1 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes accounts for a majority of people with diabetes. Type 2 causes the body to not be able to use insulin correctly. It can be prevented in some cases by:

  • Weight management with a healthy low-fat, high-fiber diet
  • Regular exercise
  • Moderation of alcohol consumption
  • Elimination of smoking
  • Use of prescribed medications

The single best thing people with diabetes can do it to keep their blood sugar level within the suggested range every day. Glucose can be controlled through regular blood sugar checks, a balanced diet and appropriate medical treatment.

Best Doctors can give you peace of mind about diabetes with comprehensive expert reviews of medical records and reports that eliminate uncertainty and provide a valuable perspective on your medical care. For more information call 1-866-904-0910 or visit members.bestdoctors.com.

Stretching at Work: Health4U Active Workplace Guide

Most professionals sit at their desks all day long, which leads to fatigue, back pain and reduced productivity. One easy way to combat these negative side effects is through stretching!

MSU Health4U tells us that stretching at work can:

  • Relax the muscles that may have become tense after extended periods of stationary work, sitting or repetitive movement
  • Relieve stress
  • Improve productivity
  • Give yourself a jump-start of energy

Some best practices to get the most out of your stretch include warming up, moving slowly, breathing normally and holding each stretch for 20-30 seconds on each side of the body 2-3 times.

To learn more visit the Health4U website.
