February is Heart Health Month ❤️
Getting to know your heart better starts with awareness.
Knowing your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, physical activity habits, nutrition, sleep, and stress levels can help you understand your personal risk for heart disease.

Small, realistic changes - like moving a little more each day, choosing heart-healthy foods, managing stress, and keeping up with regular checkups - can make a meaningful difference over time!

Prevention today supports a healthier heart tomorrow! 💓

🦷 Baby teeth matter!
They help children eat, speak, and hold space for adult teeth.
Early dental care tips:
• Start cleaning gums before teeth appear
• Brush with a rice-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste once the first tooth comes in
• Schedule a dental visit by age 1

Healthy habits early help set kids up for a lifetime of healthy smiles!

Attention WIC Participants:
There are new food options under your WIC Benefits!

Wild rice is a new MN WIC option! Wild rice has been a staple for Native American families for generations. It’s more than a grain – it’s part of Minnesota’s story. It carries tradition, family memories, and a deep connection to the land and water. You can enjoy it in soups, casseroles, veggie mixes, or just with a little oil and herbs.

❤️ One small heart habit a day ❤️

Big changes don’t have to start big.
Today, start a heart-healthy habit: add one small movement break - a quick walk, stretching, or taking the stairs when you can.

Every little bit supports your heart and creates a healthier version of you. 💪

Noticing your energy feels low lately? 🔋

Your body’s “low battery mode” is a reminder to pause, unplug, and care for yourself.
Rest and boundaries aren’t avoidance — they’re sustainability!

It is OK to take a PAUSE, to REST, and RECHARGE!
