  1. Focus on Your Kid‚s Nutrition

 

October 4th is National Child Health Day ‚ a reminder for families to not only value their own health but the health of their children too. And it all starts with how they fuel their body! Now that the kiddos are back to school, start by taking a look at what‚s on their lunch plate. Here are some of our go-to healthy lunchbox tips and recipe ideas (for even the pickiest of eaters)!

 

  1. Book Your Family Wellness Exams

 

Are your family members up-to-date on their wellness exams? Take some time this month to make sure everyone‚s caught up on their routine health checkups and exams. Considering it‚s Breast cancer Awareness Month, it‚s a good reminder for any adult women to do regular at-home breast exams, or book your first mammogram if you‚re in your 40s.

 

  1. Prioritize Your Family‚s Mental Health

 

October 10th is World Mental Health Awareness Day, raising awareness around mental health issues. After all, taking care of your mental health is just as important as physical health!

 

Check in with your family by having an open discussion around everyone‚s wellbeing and emotional needs. For starters, here are some mental health tools and resources for both adults and children alike.
