HealthMysteries

What is the essence of healthy living?  It is being aware of things that you ingest.  It is about keeping your activity level as fluid as you can. It is about increasing your flexibility, both physically and mentally.

Health is the way you live each and every day.  Keep limber, eat right, exercise and think deeply.  Relate to others often and help others with their problems.  The more you give, the more you get in return. 

Health is living every day like you mean it.  More than just going through the motions.  Be happy, be healthy and make others happy and healthy too. You are amazing and rich with life.  Spread it around.  Let it sink into your pores.

Have a wonderful, amazing and sparking summer. 

This summer, be sure to play it safe on your weekend excursions.  Here are some tips for keeping safety as your number one priority:

• Don’t forget the sunscreen whereever you go.  Graduations, parties, beaches and picnics mean lots of sunshine and potential sun damage.  Wear it daily just in case you get some unexpected sun.
• Weekend warriors need to stretch and take is slow and easy until you get used to a new (or old) activity.  Hamstrings, thighs and arms need lots of warm up regardless of the outdoor temperature.
• Drink lots of non-alcoholic drinks.  Water or green tea are terrific in the summer heat and will hydrate, cool you and give you refreshment.
• Dress for the weather.  One vacation recently, we all went walking up in Maine and no one had a sweatshirt.  By the time we got back it was pouring and about fifty degrees.  We all had chills and it could have been worse.  Think ahead.
• Protect your senses.  Wear goggles for mowing, ear plugs too.  Protective kneepads are great for many sports activities and be sure you are wearing the right kind of shoes for the event or activities.

Have a wonderful, relaxing and safe time this summer.
