HealthMysteries

 Here we go with my famous seasonal health tips just in time for the summer-like weather we have been seeing for the past several days in the northeast.  So listen up -

• Go easy on your knees.  Gardening is wonderful and so much needs to get done within a set time frame.  Take it slow and easy and use a stool, cushion or bench to save wear and tear on your knees. 

• Get into shape with hand weights.  This is one inexpensive, quick and fun way to firm up your muscles and get your beach bod ready to surf the waves.  Start small and work your way up to ten or more pounds.
• Clear your body and your mind with a bit of yoga or Tai Chi.  If you prefer, meditate for a half hour each day and connect with your spiritual self.  The inner peace and serenity is a gift in itself.
•  Find time for fun.  Whatever that means to you is the way to look at it.  I love to read, play word games on the computer and crochet.  You might like swimming or crosswords.  Find at least a little time each day to do what you love.
