Health Tip

Drink To Reduce Soreness

 

Hydration is important before and throughout your workout to prevent cramping and decrease inflammation (and muscle soreness) after exercise. Water is the best choice, and it's important to drink more in the heat or with vigorous exercise.

Welcome!

10 Ways to Have Great Posture as You Age
 

By Anne Harding

Good posture will do more to keep you looking youthful as the years go by than a face-lift or Botox. And the benefits of maintaining your bone health are much more than skin-deep.

 

Although a stooped posture may seem to go hand in hand with old age, you can help prevent the characteristic rounding of the spine that is often caused by osteoporosis and the destruction of the vertebrae in the upper and middle spine.

Here are 10 tips to keep you standing tall at any age.

 

1. Open Up: Now that many of us spend our days hunched in front of a computer, "it's very important for us to be able to stretch and open up and improve our range of motion," says Jonathan F. Bean, MD, MS, MPH, an assistant professor in the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School in Boston.


To stay limber, try to get up for a couple minutes every half hour and stretch, walk, or stand.

 

10 Tips for Injury Prevention During Exercise
 

By Elizabeth Quinn

There are many ways to avoid injuries during exercise, but these 10 tips cover the basics of injury prevention. If you are new to exercise, or changing your exercise routine, these tips will help reduce your risk of suffering a preventable sports injury.



1. Have a Routine Physical/Fitness Test: Visit you doctor before beginning a new exercise program. Any new activity can stress your body. If you have undiagnosed heart disease or other conditions, you should modify your exercise accordingly. Your doctor can let you know what your limits might be and suggest an appropriate amount of exercise for you.

2. Gradually Increase Time and Intensity: When starting an exercise program, many people have lots of enthusiasm initially, and go too hard, too soon. Begin with moderate exercise of about 20 minutes, 3 times a week and gradually build upon this. You can also use the perceived exertion scale to determine the best exercise intensity for you.
