Today is World Prematurity Day. Premature birth is the leading cause of death in newborns worldwide. Babies born too early may have more health issues than babies born on time, and may face long-term health problems that affect the brain, the lungs, hearing or vision.⠀ At Norman Regional HealthPlex, we have a Level IIl NICU and high-risk delivery team for premature babies so we can do everything we can to make sure you and your baby are safe. #WorldPrematurityDay #NormanRegionalKIDS⠀

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out to the Diabetes Health Fair last night! Remember: What you eat impacts those in your household! Instead of making multiple meals to fit your diet and theirs, share what you're doing for your health and encourage those in your household to eat healthier too! Also, incorporating more vegetables into your meals doesn't have to be a bad thing. Check out this Cauliflower Crust Pizza recipe Chef Ben Robinett demonstrated last night. Yum! #diabetes #diabetesawareness #cauliflowercrustpizza #healthyeats

Meal prepping is an excellent way to maintain a healthy weight and reduce weekly stress by saving time and money. Meal prepping is great for individuals or even for an entire family — just make sure you have plenty of containers on hand. Start small in the beginning with simpler meals then work your way up as you get used to it. Most importantly, plan — failing to plan will only prepare you for failure. #WellnessWednesday #mealprep
