With everyone out and about on Halloween, it is very important to make sure you are safe and seen. Walk on sidewalks and cross the street at crosswalks while looking left, right and left again before crossing. Make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them. If there are no sidewalks, make sure to walk facing traffic, so they see you. Be aware of cars that are backing out of driveways or turning.

🎃 Keep Halloween fun and safe!

As kids head out for Halloween, take a moment to know where they’re going, who they’ll be with and what they’ll be doing. ✅

Set clear expectations, stay involved and keep the conversation going. A little connection can go a long way in helping kids make safe, healthy choices. 💙

How can you nourish your immune system through cold and flu season?

To have a healthy, strong immune system, we need to focus on overall maintenance of health.

- Move your body: Participate in regular physical activity.
- Manage stress: Certain types of stress can weaken our immune system and make us more susceptible to infection.
- Take steps to avoid infection: Wash your hands frequently.
- Eat a balanced diet: Not all foods are good for the immune system. Food high in saturated and manufactured trans fat and can suppress the immune system and make us more susceptible to infection. Consuming a healthful diet is one of the best strategies for having a healthy immune system. Research has shown some nutrients, including protein, and certain vitamins and minerals, have specific roles in immune health. If we lack any of these nutrients, our ability to fight infection can decrease.
