🍁 Fall Into Healthy Habits 🍁

Cooler weather and shorter days can make it easy to slip out of our routines, but staying healthy in the fall is just as important as ever! Here are a few tips to keep you and your family feeling your best:

🥦 Eat Seasonal Produce – Enjoy fall favorites like apples, sweet potatoes, squash, and pumpkins. They’re packed with vitamins and fiber.
🚶 Stay Active – Take advantage of the crisp air with a walk, hike, or bike ride. Even 20–30 minutes a day makes a big difference.
💧 Hydrate – Cooler weather can trick us into forgetting water, but your body still needs it!
😴 Prioritize Sleep – The season change can disrupt routines—aim for 7–9 hours each night.
🧣 Layer Up – Dress for the weather to stay comfortable and keep colds at bay.

Flu season is just around the corner — and the best way to protect yourself and your family is to start preparing early! 💪

Here are a few ways to stay ahead of the flu:
🩺 Get your flu shot! It’s recommended for everyone 6 months and older. Vaccination helps reduce the risk of severe illness.
🧼 Wash your hands often — soap and water go a long way in keeping germs away!
😷 Cover coughs and sneezes to help stop the spread.
🏠 Stay home when sick to protect others in your community.
🍎 Boost your immunity with plenty of rest, healthy meals, and hydration.

🍂✨ Healthy Skin in the Fall ✨🍂

The cooler air can make skin feel dry, but did you know your skin still needs protection from the sun—even in the fall? 🌤️

🧴 Moisturize daily to fight dryness caused by cooler temps and indoor heating.
💧 Stay hydrated by drinking water throughout the day—your skin will thank you!
🌞 Don’t skip the SPF – UV rays are present year-round, even on cloudy or chilly days. Daily sunscreen helps protect against premature aging and lowers your risk of skin cancer.
🥑 Eat skin-friendly foods rich in antioxidants like berries, leafy greens, and nuts.

Taking small steps now will keep your skin glowing and healthy all season long! 🍁💖

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

Did you know that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime? Early detection saves lives, and one of the best tools we have is a mammogram.

👉 If you are age 40 or older, or have a family history of breast cancer, talk with your provider about scheduling your mammogram.
👉 Regular screenings can help detect breast cancer early—when it’s most treatable.

This month, we stand with survivors, honor those we’ve lost, and support everyone currently fighting. 💗

📅 Call our office today to schedule your mammogram or to learn more about breast health resources.

Together, we can make a difference. 💕
