Rest Easy, Sleep Deeply

It’s back-to-school season! Between the early alarms, packed lunches, and endless homework, it can feel like a whirlwind. But amidst the chaos, keeping your family’s health at the forefront is key. The classroom is full of opportunities for learning – and let’s be honest – opportunities for germs too. Thankfully, with a few lifestyle habits and some powerful Young Living products, you can help your kids (and yourself) stay healthy, energized, and ready for the school year ahead. 1. Fresh Air & Sunshine Kids today spend a lot of time indoors, whether in classrooms or in front of screens. Encourage outdoor playtime after school. Sunshine boosts vitamin D levels, which supports immune health, strong bones, and even mood. Plus, fresh air and exercise are a natural way to help them burn off extra energy from the school day. Pro Tip: After a day outside, support respiratory health with Young Living’s Breathe Again Roll-On. It’s a parent favorite for helping everyone breathe easy. 2. Eating Healthy = Smarter & Stronger Kids Good nutrition is one of the most important foundations for school success. Pack lunches with colorful fruits, crisp veggies, healthy fats, and protein-packed snacks. Avoid sugar crashes that leave kids cranky and unfocused by swapping processed foods for whole, nutrient-dense options. In our household, we are also big fans of sending Oliver and Owen to school after they’ve had some NingXia Red and a high protein breakfast with farm-raised eggs. We have to keep those growing brains going! Daily support: A splash of NingXia Red in the morning is a simple, delicious way to give kids and parents antioxidants, energy, and wellness support to take on the day. 3. Sleep: The Secret School Superpower A good night’s sleep is essential for memory, focus, and emotional balance. Create a relaxing bedtime routine by dimming lights, limiting screen time, and maybe diffusing calming essential oils in their room. Try Thieves Essential Oil in the diffuser to purify the air while promoting a cozy, comforting environment. Also, if you or your little ones are in need of some respiratory support, try Breathe Again or R.C. on your chest or Sniffle Ease for your little one. 4. Boost the Immune System Naturally Between crowded classrooms and busy schedules, immune support is a must. Young Living has powerhouse supplements designed to keep your family on track all season long. - Inner Defense**: Helps support your body’s natural defenses with oregano, thyme, and Thieves essential oils. Ashley and Chris will take a capsule or two if we know we’re starting to come down with something to give our immune system the best boost we can. - Longevity Capsules**: Packed with antioxidant-rich essential oils to support overall health. - TummyGize**: Perfect for little ones when tummy troubles strike after school snacks or birthday treats. Seems like tummy stuff is everywhere right now . . . 5. Lifestyle Habits That Make the Difference Health isn’t just about what you take – it’s about how you live. Encourage regular handwashing, practice gratitude at the dinner table, and set aside family time to recharge emotionally as well as physically. These little rhythms create consistency and resilience, even during the busiest school days. Final Thoughts This back-to-school season, give your family the gift of strong bodies, sharp minds, and happy hearts. With sunshine, fresh air, wholesome food, good rest, and a little Young Living support, you’ll set the tone for a thriving, joy-filled school year.
