Falls often have preventable causes, and taking care of your overall health can help lower your risk of falls and fractures. Here are a few ways to stay steady and strong:
🔵 Stay physically active — regular exercise strengthens muscles and improves balance.
🔵 Try yoga, Pilates, or tai chi to enhance flexibility and stability.
🔵 Fall-proof your home — remove clutter, secure rugs, and keep pathways well-lit.
🔵 Have your sight and hearing checked regularly.
🔵 Review medications that may cause dizziness or drowsiness.
🔵 Wear supportive, non-slip shoes.

With the growing popularity of GLP-1 medications, science has changed the conversation about weight loss. These treatments can help some people lose significant weight and improve conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. Still, lasting success starts with healthy nutrition, movement, and lifestyle balance. Looking for a good place to start? Try:
Eating whole foods: Focus on fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
Staying hydrated: Drink water before meals and throughout the day.
Moving daily: Aim for 30 minutes of activity most days.
Building muscle: Add strength training 2–3 times a week.
Sleeping well: Get 7–9 hours each night to balance hunger hormones.
Managing stress: Try meditation, deep breathing, or a short walk.
Being consistent: Small, steady changes lead to lasting results. Check in with your doctor: Get personalized guidance and support.

Feeling blue? Did you know, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is more than just the “winter blues.” It’s a type of depression that often begins in young adulthood and is more common in women than men. People who live further north, or who have a family history or pre-existing mental illness (like depression or bipolar disorder), are at higher risk.
Some things that can help you during this time include: sunlight, exercise, and staying connected to those around you, but if symptoms last more than 2 weeks, it’s important to talk to your doctor. We’re always here to help!

Amblyopia better known as “Lazy-eye” happens when the eye and brain don’t work together as they should, leading to poor vision in one or both eyes. Kids often adapt and may not mention it, which is why regular vision screenings are so important.
Why it matters: Without early treatment, amblyopia can cause permanent vision loss. Most kids won’t notice or complain of symptoms. Treatment (like glasses, eye patches, or drops) can often correct the problem if caught early.
Children should have yearly vision screenings starting in the toddler years. Early detection gives the best chance to protect their sight!

Kids carry a lot in their backpacks, but too much weight can cause back pain, shoulder soreness, headaches, and even changes in posture or walking. Here are some tips for keeping your child’s backpack comfortable to use!
🎒Keep it under 10% of your child’s body weight
🎒Use a backpack with two wide, padded straps
🎒Choose a bag with a padded back & waist strap
🎒Place the heaviest items at the bottom
🎒Make sure it sits in the middle of the back
🎒Encourage locker stops & only carrying what’s needed
Watch for red marks, slouching, or complaints of pain; these may be signs that the backpack is too heavy. Making these adjustments now can help prevent long-term back problems!

You may have heard about taking a daily low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks or strokes. But experts now say the benefits and risks depend on your age, health history, and even your body weight. For some, aspirin can lower the risk of dangerous clots. For others, it may raise the chance of serious bleeding. That’s why it’s no longer routinely recommended for everyone over 60. Always talk to your doctor before starting (or stopping) daily aspirin. What’s safe and effective for one person might not be the best choice for another.

Even gummy vitamins and melatonin look and taste like treats, but they can be dangerous if kids get into them. Protect your little ones by:
🔵 Storing all medicines & supplements Up and Away, out of sight & reach
🔵 Keeping products in their original, child-resistant containers
🔵 Reminding visitors to keep purses & bags with medicines secured
🔵 Teaching children that medicines are only given by a trusted adult
If you think your child has swallowed medicine or supplements, call Poison Control right away: 1-800-222-1222.
A few simple steps can prevent accidents and keep your family safe.
