🥦✨ Eating healthy doesn’t have to cost a fortune! Here are a few simple tips to keep both your body and your wallet happy:

1️⃣ Plan ahead – Make a weekly meal plan & grocery list to avoid impulse buys.
2️⃣ Buy in bulk – Staples like rice, oats, beans, and frozen veggies go a long way.
3️⃣ Seasonal & local – Fresh produce is cheaper (and tastier!) when it’s in season.
4️⃣ Cook at home – Skip takeout; batch cook meals to save money & time.
5️⃣ Limit processed foods – Whole foods are often cheaper and healthier in the long run.

💡 Small changes = big savings + better health!

For families with young children or university students, prioritizing health and well-being before the school year begins is essential.

Here’s a back-to-school health checklist to help ensure a smooth start:

1. Schedule a checkup with your family doctor: The start of the school year is a great time for a routine visit with your primary care physician.

2. Refill prescription medications: Make sure essential medications—such as EpiPens, asthma inhalers, or daily prescriptions—are refilled and accessible both at home and at school.

3. Review vaccinations: Confirm that everyone is up to date on routine vaccinations, and check whether your children need any school-required immunizations.

Starting the school year healthy sets the stage for a successful and worry-free year ahead.

Breastfeeding Facts Every Mom Should Know 🍼💪

• Breast milk is the perfect food — packed with nutrients and antibodies tailored to your baby
• Protects against infections, allergies, SIDS, and even lowers future risk of obesity & diabetes
• Helps you too! Reduces risk of breast & ovarian cancer, and burns 300–500 calories/day
• Releases oxytocin, helping your uterus shrink back to size faster
• Milk supply = supply & demand — the more baby feeds (or you pump), the more you make
• Breast milk changes with your baby’s needs — even during a single feed!
• WHO recommends breastfeeding for 2+ years (with solids after 6 months)

Breastfeeding isn’t always easy — but it’s powerful. Support matters. 💗
