And here’s the truth: Healthy habits start at home, but not every family has access to the same tools, resources, or support.

Many communities of color face real barriers like:
- Lack of affordable fresh foods
- Limited safe play spaces
- Nutrition info that doesn’t reflect our cultures

But small, realistic changes can go a long way.

This week, we’re sharing simple, family-friendly nutrition tips. No guilt, no judgment, just support that meets families where they are. ✨

But as Oprah reminds us, grief isn’t the end of your story.

Are You (and Your People) Up to Date? 💉

Vaccines aren’t just for babies. They protect us at every stage of life. Here's a quick check to keep your health (and your community) covered.

Ask your doctor or local clinic:
“What vaccines am I due for?” 💬
You can also check with your pharmacy or health department.

📍 P.S. Community health centers often offer low-cost or free vaccines. No insurance needed.

𝐃𝐨 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦?

At Salveo, we recognize how misinformation—especially fears about long-term harm—can discourage BIPOC communities from getting vaccinated. This deepens health disparities tied to medical mistrust and limited access.

Let’s focus on facts, not fear. 🧭

𝐕𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬. Most side effects are mild and temporary, like a sore arm or feeling tired. Serious reactions are extremely rare. The protection vaccines offer far outweighs the risks.

Did you know there’s more than one kind of hepatitis?

Hepatitis A, B, C, D & E all affect your liver, but they spread in different ways and need different kinds of care.

𝐖𝐚𝐢𝐭… 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬?!

Yep..they sure can. And July is all about raising awareness for them.

It’s called 𝐣𝐮𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬, and it affects thousands of children and teens every year—even if they "look fine."

It’s an autoimmune condition (the body attacks its own joints by mistake) and exact cause isn’t always known.

Chronic illnesses like juvenile arthritis can be invisible, but support doesn't have to be. Let’s show our kids that being strong also means being understood. 💛
