It's astonishing how quickly time flies when you’re having fun. That being exactly what we’ve been doing all year long<br />

here at <strong>Healthy</strong> Magazine. Our team went out and spoke to dozens of experts, met new and exciting people and<br />

reached out to stores, businesses, physicians, therapists, and specialists from all walks of life to bring you the best<br />

information possible.<br />

We dedicated a whole issue to the men in your lives. Everything from innovative exercise and beauty routines<br />

aimed at men, to how to consistently maintain a fashionable and attractive look. Furthermore, including some signs,<br />

symptoms, and preventative practices of common diseases to keep the men in your life, young and healthy.<br />

For the women, we regularly highlighted positive role models who positively demonstrated the importance of<br />

fitness and a healthy lifestyle. Along with several articles on women's physical and mental health. Even highlighting<br />

essential and conventional practices on aging gracefully and managing stress on a daily basis.<br />

In between, we gave a few nods to the changing seasons; helped get you and your family ready for Spring, Summer,<br />

and Fall. Making sure that we kept up with the various demands that arise in each time of year. From getting the kids<br />

up and occupied in the summer while keeping you relaxed and in control in periods of stress and chaos.<br />

As cabin fever struck we included tips and tricks to help you bring a little light and warmth indoors with a few<br />

simple, easy, and inexpensive ideas to add some fun to every room in your house.<br />

We don’t like to toot our own horn, but we could not be prouder of the work we did and the ideas we shared with<br />

each of you over the past twelve months. As always, we endeavor to bring you the most up-to-date health data<br />

and share innovative ideas to help you ease into new phases of your life. Giving you outlets to relax in style, hit the<br />

ground running for new adventures, and delight in healthy tasty treats.<br />

As always, we thank you for your support and feedback. We wouldn’t be here without our dedicated readers!<br />

Additionally, we send our deepest condolences to the Hurricane Harvey victims and their families in Texas. It pains<br />

us to see something so incredibly devastating occur so close to home. Sending our love and prayers to those in<br />

need and our hope that things begin to improve for those living through the aftermath of it all.<br />
