Don’t forget about vaping!
Is your kid vaping? You can start getting support right HERE.
FEBRUARY is American Heart Month AND Black History Month
We’re in the home stretch of February and there is a great documentary that is free this month and valuable for all to watch: They’reTryingToKillUs. If you watch it, let me know what you think.
Show your kids some love this month. Here are two things your family can focus on to boost your health and spread the love!
- Focus on FIBER and how to include that in what they eat throughout the day. Foods that are naturally high in fiber also have the highest “nutrient density”. This not only helps general health and well-being, it contributes to brain health (better academic success!). HERE is a great handout on fiber in foods.
JUST ASKING: Are you encouraging your kids to eat fresh fruits and vegetables? Do you have them ready-to-grab-and-eat?
- Gratitude: A regular gratitude practice helps stimulate our “feeling good” neurotransmitter hormones. HERE is a great handout with daily practices that help strengthen our relationships.
You can never be too young to begin heart health practices!
