Wellness Corner Spring is here! Beat the heat by drinking lots of fluids and keeping your body hydrated. Eat lightly; Fresh fruits and veggies are perfect for the warmer weather. Do all of your most strenuous work, or workouts in the cool morning or evenings. Rest often to cool down, short frequent breaks are more effective than long infrequent ones. Most importantly, make sure you are wearing sunscreen and protective clothing such as hats, sunglasses and loose fitting clothes that are light colored. We want to make sure we are protecting our bodies from the harmful rays. DID YOU KNOW? Lack of water is the number one trigger of daily fatigue? Preliminary research indi-cated that 8-10 glasses of water a day could signifi-cantly ease back joint pain for up to 80% of suffer-ers.75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. Knowing this now, keep drinking that refreshing H2O all year long!
