    Recipes for Weight Loss and Heart-Healthy Eating

    Weight Loss

    10 Tips to Reduce Your Chances of Becoming a Crime Victim

    Refuse to be a Victim

Lock car doors and do not leave any property in plain view. Valuables left out in the open may tempt thieves. If you must leave belongings in the car, place them in the trunk and out of sight. When walking on the street or to your car from a business, make eye contact with others and be aware of your surroundings.
