WOODBRIDGE — Public health officials in Virginia and North Carolina report seasonal influenza is at widespread levels across both states.
Effective immediately, Sentara Healthcare asks all patients and visitors, including those seeking outpatient services, to wear a mask inside its hospitals, medical facilities, and physician practices to protect the community from the spread of flu. Masks and hand sanitizer are available at all facility entrances for public use.
Northern Virginia is home to hundreds of parks, including hiking trails, forests, national parks, walking trails, and nature and wildlife areas.
Many local parks and other recreation venues surround Manassas Park, Woodbridge, Gainesville, and other cities in Prince William County. Living near green spaces can not only improve the view as you drive to and from work or school, but it can also improve both your mental and physical health.
A group of business leaders and non-profit organizations will band together to help furloughed federal workers.
As the shutdown drags on, we have transitioned into a moral emergency. We are 28 days into the longest government shutdown in the history of our country. The impact expands beyond furloughed workers – it impacts contractors, restaurants, daycare providers etc.

Your body benefits in many ways from a fiber-rich diet with foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, and lentils.
Fiber helps you feel fuller longer. It slows the breakdown of carbohydrates, which helps control blood sugar levels, and lowers LDL cholesterol levels, known as “bad” cholesterol levels. Fiber also promotes regular bowel movements.?Fiber comes in two forms – soluble fiber and insoluble fiber.
You can take more steps than hand washing and getting enough sleep to fight off the flu. Eating a balanced diet will also boost your immune system to resist flu viruses.
Micronutrients that help our immune system include antioxidants, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and zinc. Foods with anti-inflammatory properties also help immune function because chronic inflammation can weaken and disrupt your immune system.
