A sports-safety feature makes a pointed case for mandatory protective gear, noting that athletes in football, hockey and boxing are required to wear mouth guards — and walking through the options, from stock guards to the more expensive custom-made versions that provide the most protection. It is practical guidance for the parents of the county's many young athletes.

“5 Tips to Help Save Your Vision” offers readers straightforward ways to protect their eyesight, the kind of accessible preventive-health coverage the magazine runs each month, while “Health on the Run” meets busy readers where they are with fitness and wellness that fit a packed schedule.

The issue also invites readers to a tea party at one of the area's treasured venues, adding a note of springtime charm to the calendar as the season turns.

The recurring departments and finance coverage round out the issue, alongside the photo pages that capture local life heading into spring.

The recurring departments, finance coverage and photo pages round out a March issue built around looking after yourself and the people you love. From protecting a young athlete's smile to saving your eyesight to fitting wellness into a hurried life, the number is full of the accessible, practical guidance the magazine delivers so reliably. Arriving as the season turns, it balances that health focus with a note of springtime charm — a tea party at a treasured venue, the first signs of warmer days — and reminds readers that taking care of the basics is what makes room for the pleasures ahead. The mouth-guard feature carries a quiet urgency for a sports-mad community, where Friday-night football and youth leagues fill the fall and spring; a small piece of protective equipment, the magazine reminds parents, can prevent an injury that follows a child for life. It is preventive advice with real stakes for local families. The vision feature notes that some three million people are treated for facial injuries each year, underscoring why the sports-safety piece pushes so hard for mandatory, well-fitted mouth guards — while a lighter profile celebrates a local baker who never studied at Le Cordon Bleu yet built a following all the same, an Austin Peay student turning a passion into a craft.
