Get A+ health this school year!

Kick off the new school year right with these tips:

1. Stay up to date on immunizations

Not only does this protect your child from illnesses like the flu and other diseases, but it helps them stay healthy throughout the year, so they have more days of classroom learning and fun.

2. Backpack safety

A full backpack should not weigh more than 10% of your child’s weight. Heavy backpacks cause neck, shoulder and back pain, causing long-term problems. Get a backpack with two straps and cushioned padding.

3. Reduce screen time

Limit screen time (all devices) outside of doing homework, to two hours a day or less. Social media can create stress/anxiety and make it hard to sleep. Instead, engage as a family. Play a game, go for a walk, or talk about your day.

Many may think a dietitian teaches people how to diet, but it is helping patients unlearn dieting and harmful food rules. Melissa helps patients prevent and manage chronic conditions by adopting sustainable lifestyle changes. These lifestyle changes require consistency and patience but have lasting benefits. Health should not be temporary and with Melissa’s guidance, patients can meet their health goals and learn habits that benefit the entire family.
