Back-to-school photos are special, but oversharing can put children at risk. Protect your child’s privacy by avoiding:

• School names, logos or signs
• After-school activities or teams
• Personal details like name, age or grade
• Background clues such as bus numbers or street names

Even on private accounts, posts can be saved or shared. Create memories while keeping your child safe.

Even if you don't have space for a garden, planting a few sources of leafy greens in pots can be a great way to increase your nutrition and support your health during our sunny summer months! Try Kale, arugula, or swiss chard for easy-growing, nutritious and delicious additions to your diet from home!

Greens are win-win—rich in nitrates and a good source of potassium. Nitrates from green leafy veggies are converted to nitric oxide in the body, and potassium increases nitric oxide release. We can improve our artery function within minutes of consuming greens.

Nitric oxide from vegetable nitrates not only improves oxygen efficiency, but also oxygen delivery by vasodilation of blood vessels—that is, by opening up our arteries so there’s more blood flow. This effect may be beneficial for athletes (to improve their performance), as well as people with high blood pressure and peripheral artery disease.
