Optimum U Health & Wellness Behavioral Nudges

Sample Nudges

• Monitoring changes in waist circumference over time may be helpful, in addition to measuring BMI, since it can provide an estimate of increased abdominal fat, even when BMI remains constant.

• Community and environment matters. Even if you can’t move from where you live, you can live well where you move.

• Laughter can decrease stress hormones, can increase immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies.  So go ahead and watch that funny cat video.  It's good for you.
