Protect your ears and your family by practicing these tips offered to us by the Hearing Loss Association of America!

♥ Know which noises can cause damage (those at or above 85 decibels). Decibel reader apps are readily available for your electronic devices to monitor exposure to noise. The National Institutes of Health tells us that sounds at or below 70 dBA are generally considered safe. Any sound at or above 85 dBA is more likely to damage hearing over time.
♥ Wear earplugs or other protective devices when involved in a loud activity like music concerts, sporting events, and recreational activities involving firearms.
♥ If you can’t reduce the noise or protect yourself from it, move away from it. Increase the distance between yourself and the source of sound.
♥ Be alert to hazardous noises in the environment.
♥ Protect the ears of children who are too young to protect their own. This includes talking to your children and adolescents about electronics, earbuds, and earphones.
♥ Make family, friends, and colleagues aware of the hazards of noise.
♥ Have your hearing tested if you think you might have hearing loss. #bemorehealth #morehealthinc #hear #health #healthy #healthylifestyle #nonprofit #tampa #florida #teachersofinstagram #teacher #school #education #elementaryschool #prevention #habits #safe #safety #safetyfirst #community #loud #noise #hearing #hearingloss #child #parenting #parents

Remember these practical nutrition pointers!
♥ Be aware of serving sizes by reading nutritional labels, eating off of a small plate rather than out of a carton or bag, and eating regularly to avoid being overly hungry.
♥ Stay hydrated. Many times when you think you are hungry, you might actually be thirsty. Your body needs hydration throughout the day, and the best way to hydrate is by drinking water.
♥ Pay attention to how foods are prepared. Baking, broiling or grilling are always the healthiest ways to cook foods.
♥ Be aware of unhealthy additions to food. Mayonnaise, ketchup, sour cream and other condiments can add excess sodium and sugar to otherwise healthy meals. Add-ons that are considered healthy include vegetables, mustard, or ground black pepper. #health #healthylifestyle #healthyrecipes #healthyfood #healthy #choices #habits #choose #daily #food #eat #mealprep #mealplanning #meal #teach #teacher #learn #nonprofit #tampa #tampaflorida #florida

Practice these healthy sleep habits from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute!
♥ Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
♥ Try to keep the same sleep schedule on weeknights and weekends. Otherwise, there is a risk of disrupting your body's sleep-wake schedule.
♥ Use the hour before bed for quiet time. Avoid light and screen time if at all possible.
♥ Avoid large, heavy meals within a couple hours of bedtime.
♥ Avoid stimulants like nicotine and caffeine. Both interfere with sleep.
♥ Engage in physical activity every day.
♥ Keep the bedroom quiet, cool, and dark. #health #healthy #healthylifestyle #habit #habits #sleep #sleepy #learn #education #educator #teacher #teaching #teachersofinstagram #nonprofit #sponsor #community #tampa #florida #tampaflorida #tampabay #kids #child #children #night #routine

Do your kids know how to call 911 in an emergency? Children should know to:

♥ Communicate to the dispatcher that there is an emergency taking place
♥ Report “who, what, where, when, and how many”
♥ Never hang up until the operator says to do so
♥ Inform the people at the scene that help is on the way #bemorehealth #morehealthinc #health #healthylifestyle #healthy #safe #safety #safetyfirst #safekids #prevention #knowledge #teacher #teach #learn #emergency #911 #call #school #nonprofit #community
