📅 August is National Immunization Awareness Month!

💉 As kids get ready to head back to school, it’s the perfect time to make sure their vaccines are up to date, protecting them from illnesses that can spread quickly in classrooms.

👨‍👩‍👧 But it’s not just for children! Adults also need routine vaccinations to stay healthy and prevent serious diseases. From flu shots to boosters for whooping cough, staying on top of your immunizations helps protect not only you, but also your loved ones and community.

🍚 Have you heard of “Fried Rice Syndrome”?

It might sound unusual, but it’s a real type of food poisoning caused by bacteria, and it often happens when rice or other starchy foods are left out at room temperature too long.

The bacteria specially thrives on starchy foods, such as rice, pasta, potatoes, and pastries, although it can contaminate a range of foods, including cooked meats and vegetables, milk products, puddings, and soups.

⚠️ Symptoms can include:
Nausea & vomiting
Diarrhea
Fever & stomach cramps

Most people recover within a day or two, but prevention is key!

✅ Food Safety Tips to Protect Your Family:

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours 🕑

Reheat food to at least 165°F 🔥

Only reheat food once

When in doubt, throw it out 🚫

Staying mindful about how we store and reheat our food can keep us and our loved ones safe.

🌞 Do you like to tan?

A tan can look great, especially after winter months where the sun is more shy.
However, there’s something many people don’t realize:

That tan you’re working on? It’s actually a sign that your skin is already damaged. 😬

Tanning is your body’s way of trying to protect itself from UV radiation, and over time, repeated exposure can lead to:
⚠️ Premature wrinkles
⚠️ Dark spots
⚠️ Skin cancer

There’s no such thing as a safe tan from the sun or tanning beds. Even a light tan increases your risk for long-term skin issues.

💡 Want the glow without the damage? Try sunless tanners and protect your real skin with SPF 30+, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses.

And if you’ve noticed anything unusual on your skin, our providers can help you get it checked out. Don’t wait, early detection saves lives.

🤢 Myth vs. Fact: Food Poisoning ❗🍽️

Myth: You’ll know if food is bad by the way it smells or tastes.

Fact: Many harmful bacteria that cause food poisoning don’t change the way food looks, smells, or tastes.

That means even food that seems “fine” could make you seriously sick. 🤒

Bacteria like Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria are invisible to the eye, but they can still grow on food that hasn’t been handled or stored properly. 🧫

✅ Follow these food safety tips:

🔹 Wash your hands and cooking surfaces
🔹 Cook to the right temperatures
🔹 Refrigerate leftovers quickly
🔹 Don’t rely on the “sniff test” alone!

When in doubt, throw it out. Better safe than sick! ❌🥡

❤️ What Do We Mean by "Heart-Healthy Foods"? 🥗

You’ve probably heard the phrase "heart-healthy" before, but what does it really mean?

👉 Heart-healthy foods are foods that support your heart by lowering cholesterol, reducing blood pressure, and helping your blood vessels stay strong and clear.

These foods are typically:
✔️ High in fiber
✔️ Low in saturated fats
✔️ Rich in antioxidants
✔️ Packed with healthy fats (like omega-3s)

Examples include:
🍓 Berries
🥬 Leafy greens
🐟 Salmon
🌰 Nuts and seeds
🍞 Whole grains
and Beans

💬 Not sure where to start?

You can meet with our registered dietitian! Just ask your RVPCS provider for a referral during your next visit.

Your heart works hard for you every day, let’s return the favor. ❤️
