Being physically active helps us feel good, sleep better, lifts our mood, reduces anxiety and lowers blood pressure. Long-term, physical activity can boost brain, heart and bone health. When we head outdoors to work out, studies show that physical activity outdoors lowers the body’s blood pressure and heart rate.

How to buy safe toys this season

The best toys inspire children to create, imagine and solve problems! It’s also important to make sure the toys are safe. Blocks, dolls, action figures, toy cars and trucks, Thomas the Train, Fisher-Price Little People, puzzles, games and books are all great choices. At my house, we love Melissa & Doug and Hape toys.
