After a vehicle accident or similar major injury, people face many challenges in their daily lives. There’s the physical pain they are experiencing, which can be debilitating, and there are so many other forms of emotional distress or disruptions to their lifestyles that come with that. For people recovering from an injury, it could take months or even years to heal or regain their physical abilities. Some of the common injuries we see as the result of an accident include broken bones, back injuries, spinal injuries, whiplash, and even traumatic brain injuries.

Engaging your family in a scavenger hunt to discover various produce among the local farmers’ stands is a great way to broaden their minds and keep them entertained. Plenty of farmers will offer you and your kids samples of their wares, allowing you to try before you buy. HOMEWARD BOUND After enjoying the farmers market, you may want to take what you learned home. Starting a small garden and growing starter plants with your kids is a great way to bond and create lasting memories. Growing and caring for plants and vegetables is a wonderful experience for children and helps them connect more with nature. Do yourself and your family a favor: Explore the farmers market and discover the flavor of your local area.
This time of year, we harvest fruits and vegetables in abundance, and farmers markets across the country are brimming with locally grown goods.

FROM SIDEWALKS TO SCHOOL BUSES YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BACK-TO-SCHOOL SAFETY
As the new school year kicks off, excitement fills the air as children return to the classroom. However, with the hustle and bustle of back-to-school season, it’s crucial to remember that safety should be a top priority. Whether it’s navigating the busy sidewalks, boarding the school bus, or participating in after-school activities, there are many chances for accidents and injuries to occur. Get your backpack ready as we explore three safety tips as kids return to the classroom.
and possibly tripping. Teach your children to always wait until the bus is completely stopped before walking toward it. Though not all school buses have seat belts, your child should wear them if they do. It’s also important to stay seated inside the bus until it arrives at its destination.
DRIVING SAFETY Parents and other drivers must be extra cautious in busy school zones to keep children safe. Always slow down in areas with schoolchildren and pay special attention to any children
WALKING SAFETY When school starts, your little ones will be walking a lot, and it’s essential to teach them how to get around safely. Children should walk to their bus with a parent or older sibling until they are at least 10. Young children may be unfamiliar with the traffic laws, so go over what different signs and lights mean with them and practice on their morning route before classes begin. SCHOOL BUS SAFETY Children should also practice and prepare for riding the school bus and being safe at the pick-up and drop-off locations. It’s best to arrive at the bus stop early to avoid running
crossing the street or getting dropped off. There will be more traffic than usual during the times of day when children are going to and leaving school, so be prepared for a busier commute. As the school year swings into full gear, let’s commit to prioritizing safety. By teaching our children how to navigate their daily routes, whether on foot, by bus, or in the car, we can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. Remember, a little preparation and vigilance go a long way in ensuring a secure and prosperous school year for all.

Exercises That Help You Lose More in Less Time
BURN CALORIES FASTER EXERCISES THAT HELP YOU LOSE MORE IN LESS TIME
In the quest for fitness efficiency, especially in today’s fast-paced world, many of us are looking for the most effective exercises to maximize calorie burn in the shortest time. Whether you’re squeezing a workout into a busy schedule or just aiming to maximize your gym time, here are five exercises that can help you torch calories quickly. HIGH-INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING (HIIT) High-Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT, is the best method for burning calories fast. It involves short bursts of intense exercise alternating with low-intensity recovery periods. For example, sprinting for 30 seconds followed by one minute of walking, repeated for 20–30 minutes, can do wonders. This method burns a high number of calories during the workout and elevates your metabolism for hours after you’ve finished. INDOOR CYCLING Spin classes or indoor cycling can be exhilarating ways to burn calories. Depending on the intensity of the workout and your body weight,
you can burn between 200 and 300 calories in just a 30-minute session. The key is to maintain a high intensity, utilizing both the bike’s resistance settings and the pace at which you pedal. RUNNING Simple yet effective, running is one of the most efficient ways to burn calories. The faster you run, the more calories you’ll burn per minute. Interval running, where you alternate between sprinting and jogging, can also be particularly effective for quick calorie burning. JUMPING ROPE Jump rope is not just a playground activity; it’s a high-intensity workout that burns about 10 calories per minute. It’s a fantastic cardiovascular workout that improves heart health and stamina. SWIMMING Swimming is a total-body workout that is both high-intensity and gentle on the body. It effectively burns calories (around 200–300
calories in 30 minutes) while also being low- impact, which is excellent for those looking to reduce stress on their joints. Incorporating these exercises into your fitness routine can significantly enhance your calorie- burning efficiency. Remember, the key to these workouts is intensity. The harder you push yourself, the more calories you’ll burn and the less time you’ll need to work out. Always ensure you balance high-intensity workouts with adequate rest and recovery, and consider having a fitness professional create a workout plan tailored to your personal health and fitness goals.
