When the Hinsdale Public Library celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2018, we perused old newspapers for nostalgia and remember seeing that the library closed its doors during the flu epidemic of 1918. At the time, it seemed like an interesting tidbit of an era past. We couldn't have known then that two years later, our physical building would be off limits again. As we watch the current pandemic unfold in real time, we wondered how Hinsdale was impacted in epidemics past. We...

You might rely on your child being on a screen to get through your work day or...

Anxiety and stress can be normal and healthy responses but are often vilified, psychotherapist and best-selling author Lisa Damour said Tuesday night. "This is something that has definitely gotten lost," she said. Damour presented a special webinar edition of The Community Speaker Series presented by the District 181 Foundation to discuss the challenges of parenting during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the midst of social distancing, one quarantine-approved activity has brought so many of us out of our homes — walking. For Wellness House, the influx of pedestrians taking to the streets signified an opportunity.

The Virtual Walk for Wellness House will take place Sunda...

We were all a child once and now perhaps it is time to act like a child again. That sage advice is not a unique thought. It originates from Mr. Fred Rogers, the same television personality who once advised us to look for the helpers in times of crisis. When you look for the helpers, you find hope. When you think, and act like a child, you find healing. It is interesting that during this time like no other there are three simple things making a difference: open minds,...

Since the dawn of the fitness industry and fad diets, this question has been raised: which is better for fat loss — eating or not eating before a morning workout? Some say fuel before a workout boosts blood sugars, giving the body energy to increase the intensity and length of a workout while fighting off fatigue and dizziness. The eat-after proponents say that you burn more fat if you fast before exercise. According to CNN Health, a recent UK study supports the latter p...
