The City of Jacksonville introduced its first-ever Jacksonville Food Plan yesterday, marking a major milestone in the city’s efforts to build a stronger, more equitable, and more sustainable food system. By supporting urban farming, strengthening distribution channels, addressing food deserts, and reducing waste, the city aims to create an equitable and sustainable food environment for all residents.

The City of Jacksonville’s Emergency Preparedness Division is closely monitoring a weather system expected to affect Duval County from Saturday, October 24, into early next week, and is in regular contact with the National Weather Service to monitor potential local impacts.

The holidays are often portrayed as a time to be surrounded by family and friends, celebrating and spending time together. Even a simple question like, “What are you doing for the holidays?” can carry the assumption that everyone has somewhere to go or someone to spend the season with. But that isn’t true for everybody. Some people have few or no close relationships. Others may be dealing with loss or life changes that make the holidays feel different than they once did. And sometimes, you can have plenty of people around you and still feel alone.

Cooler temperatures, shorter days, changing weather, and new routines can all affect how much we move. There may be less time to spend outside, or staying in may simply feel more appealing. The ways you stayed active during warmer months may not work as well when it’s colder or gets dark earlier. But making a few small adjustments can help you keep moving as the seasons change.

As the year comes to a close, things you’ve been meaning to finish can start to feel more pressing. Holiday plans add to an already busy schedule, and financial worries may weigh on you. At the same time, you may feel expected to slow down and enjoy the season. It can be hard to relax and have fun when your mind keeps returning to everything you still need to do.

Roughly 43 million American adults have low bone density, which significantly increases the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. Bone mass peaks around age 30 and then naturally declines with age. For women, bone loss accelerates during menopause, and men typically experience a more gradual bone loss beginning in their 50s.
