Tick Control

Today's Tip: 
 BEWARE! TICK SEASON IS HERE

Lyme disease is caused by bacteria from an infected deer tick.
Symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a skin rash. Generally,
the tick must be attached to a person for 36-48 hours or more before
the Lyme disease bacteria can be spread. If left untreated, infection
can spread to joints, heart and nervous system. Most cases can be
treated successfully with antibiotics. To protect yourself, use insect
repellent, remove ticks promptly, wear long pants and sleeves when
walking in wooded areas, and keep brush and leaves clear from your
yard.

I would walk 500 miles!

 Today's Tip: 

 REAP THE REWARDS OF 10,000 STEPS
Consider wearing a pedometer! Numerous studies have shown that
pedometer users not only increase their activity level, they also
enjoy the benefit of weight loss and lower blood pressure. This small,
inexpensive device measures the number of steps or the distance you
walk each day. It tracks both structured exercise and everyday
activity. One mile is usually 2,000-2,500 steps, depending on stride
length. Start sensibly and gradually increase your steps or distance.

Choking

Today's Tip: 

 DON'T CHOKE!

In adults, failure to chew food properly is the most frequent cause of
choking. Talking or laughing while eating may also cause choking when
food goes "down the wrong pipe." Certain illnesses, such as
Parkinson's disease, can make choking more likely; so can over use of
alcohol or taking certain drugs.

Itchy Feet

Today's Tip: 

 ITCHY FEET?
According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, athlete's
foot is a skin condition caused by a fungus. This fungus typically
affects the skin between toes. Patients often report an itching,
burning or stinging sensation. If you regularly deal with athlete's
foot, visit your doctor to see if a prescription for topical or oral
antifungal drugs is appropriate.

Heart Rate Monitor

EXERCISE SMARTER WITH A HEART-RATE MONITOR
Heart rate monitors help manage the intensity of your workout.
Monitoring your intensity can help you with your fitness and/or weight
loss goals. Consult a fitness professional to help determine your
target heart rate zone. Then you can set the monitor to beep when you
reach and/or get out of your ideal zone. Basic monitors can be
inexpensive and are found in most sporting goods stores.
