PERFUME PROBLEMS
Sometime in your life you have probably passed someone in a hallway and wondered what scent he or she was wearing. Conversely, you could have been trapped in an elevator with someone who smelled like dryer sheets and by the time you arrived at your floor, you had a headache developing. A pleasant smell for one person can trigger an asthma attack in someone else.

FITTER FEET FOREVER
Our poor feet can take a beating. We run, jump and dance on them. We jam them in to too tight shoes and stub the toes on furniture. We may ignore them completely until something goes wrong. When you lose the use of your feet for some reason, your quality of life can take a nosedive. So let’s keep our feet healthy and fit forever.

The Domestic Violence Awareness Project of the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence seeks to foster healthy families and communities by encouraging all of us to be part of the equation Awareness + Action = Social Change.

Kids Eat Well with Healthy Recipes
It can be challenging getting family members, especially children, on board when it comes to making healthy food choices. By involving children with meal preparation, they're more likely to eat what they've helped to create. For nutritious recipe options you can prepare with your children.
