10 SIMPLE
STAY ACTIVE
WAYS TO
If you need a nap after watching someone jog past you, it’s important to start small and work your way up to more intense workouts. If you push yourself really hard in the beginning, it’s not likely you’ll sustain a healthy exercise routine … since you won’t be able to walk.
PARK FURTHER AWAY
Below are 10 easy ways to be more active! If you’re mindful of the little things you can do to turn each of your daily tasks into a mini-workout, you’ll be surprised how much better you’ll feel!
PLAY WITH YOUR PETS
GO FOR WALKS
If you’re groaning already, put incentives in place to boost your motivation. For example, don’t just subscribe to magazines – Walk to the corner store to pick up the latest issues. Creating a buddy system is also helpful: instead of having your friend over for tea, make it to go and bond over a daily walk. The conversation will distract you from the whole exercise thing.
TAKE THE STAIRS
This one’s obvious but how often do you still take the elevator instead? Five minutes climbing stairs burns up to 150 calories!
CLEAN VIGOROUSLY
Did you know that an intense tidy session can burn up to 200 calories per hour? That should be enough motivation to keep a clean house!
USE A BASKET INSTEAD OF A SHOPPING CART If you only have a few things to pick up after work, use a basket instead of a cart. It’s an automatic weightlifting session (and if you’re a spontaneous shopper, it becomes quite the workout!)

Build in extra walking by parking further away from your destination. With how crammed many parking lots become, you’ll not only burn calories but save a lot of time (and potential accidents) waiting for a closer spot to free up.
It goes without saying that owning a dog automatically means frequent walks and play time. For the kitty lovers out there whose cats make lazing around look incredible: tie a ribbon/string around your wrist and let it dangle to the floor. As you’re cleaning your home or doing any chore that requires a lot of moving around, your cat will go insane chasing you around.
PACE/CLEAN WHILE ON THE PHONE
We all know that phone calls to family can last an hour long, so vigorously pacing around while you chat can be a little extra exercise!
SET AN ALARM
Set an alarm for every hour, so you remember to get up for a minimum of two minutes for stretching or walking around.
EXERCISE WHILE WATCHING TV
I know we’re supposed to watch less television, but if you’re going to be watching your favorite shows for a while, throw in mini-workouts while you watch!
SUPPORT A GOOD CAUSE
Sponsor charity walks or runs for causes close to your heart. Dedicate each charity walk/run to someone you care about as your motivation to train before, during, and after.

STROKE Signs & Symptoms Stroke symptoms include:
Knowing the signs and symptoms of a stroke is the first step to ensuring medical help is received immediately. For each minute a stroke goes untreated and blood flow to the brain continues to be blocked, a person loses about 1.9 million neurons. This could mean that a person’s speech, movement, memory, and so much more can be affected. Learn as many stroke symptoms as possible so you can recognize stroke FAST and save a life!
SUDDEN numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body. SUDDEN confusion, trouble speaking, or understanding.
SUDDEN trouble seeing in one or both eyes. SUDDEN severe headache with no known cause. SUDDEN trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.

SIGNS OF HEARING LOSS
The signs of hearing loss can be subtle and emerge slowly, or early signs of hearing loss can be significant and come about suddenly. Either way, there are common indications and hearing impaired signs. You should suspect hearing loss if you experience any of the signs below. You might have hearing loss if you...
SOCIALLY
• require frequent repetition. • have difficulty following conversations involving more than 2 people. • think that other people sound muffled or like they're mumbling. • have difficulty hearing in noisy situations, like conferences, restaurants, malls, or crowded meeting rooms. • have trouble hearing children and women. • have your TV or radio turned up to a high volume. • answer or respond inappropriately in conversations. • have ringing in your ears. • read lips or more intently watch people's faces when they speak with you.
EMOTIONALLY
• feel stressed out from straining to hear what others are saying. • feel annoyed at other people because you can't hear or understand them. • feel embarrassed to meet new people or from misunderstanding what others are saying. • feel nervous about trying to hear and understand. • withdraw from social situations that you once enjoyed because of difficulty hearing.
MEDICALLY
• have a family history of hearing loss. • take medications that can harm the hearing system (ototoxic drugs). • have diabetes, heart, circulation or thyroid problems. • have been exposed to very loud sounds over a long period or single exposure to explosive noise.

10ARTHRITIS RELIEF DAILY HABITS FOR
Hard as it might be to believe, some of your everyday habits could actually be making your arthritis pain worse. From gradual weight gain to giving in to the temptation not to exercise, your lifestyle choices could be doing more harm to your aching knees and other painful joints than you realize. Take charge of your condition by trying the following 10 arthritis pain control habits to help achieve arthritis pain relief.
Control Weight Gain
Has the needle on your scale been inching up? Your aching knees may be responding directly to that weight gain. Being overweight or obese means your joints must carry a greater load, and this causes the wear and tear that characterizes osteoarthritis. If you want arthritis pain relief, losing even 10 pounds will help.
Get Up and Move
Lounging may be a good thing for a Sunday afternoon, but if it is a daily habit, you may actually be adding to your arthritis pain. It sounds counter intuitive, but don’t use aching knees or other joint pain as an excuse for being physically inactive.
5
Although arthritis can make it difficult to get started with an exercise plan, it is important that you do so. Water-based activities are especially good for arthritis pain relief. Not near a pool? Increasing the distance you walk every day can help.
Do It, But Don’t Overdo It
If running one mile is good for arthritis, then winning marathons is better, right? Wrong. Pushing yourself too hard puts you at risk for joint injury and increased joint pain. So be active, but stick to a moderate pace and try to build a variety of activities into your life. Gentle exercise can delay the onset of arthritis even in people with a strong genetic predisposition for it, and can help you stay mobile after arthritis sets in.
Avoid Repetitive Motion
The tasks we do throughout the workday make it difficult to achieve arthritis pain control. This is especially true when those tasks involve repetitive joint motions. You might be surprised by who gets arthritis because of this phenomenon. Truck drivers, for example, may develop osteoarthritis of the spine from their daily tasks, explains rheumatologist Jamal A. Mikdashi, MD, associate professor of medicine at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore. Take breaks during the day to do simple stretches that will help you work better.
Don’t Pass Up Healthy Fats
Omega-3 fatty acids can play a role in arthritis pain relief, says rheumatologist Bonita S. Libman, MD, an associate professor of rheumatology and clinical immunology at the University of Vermont in Burlington. These fats have anti-inflammatory properties similar to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). You need fairly high daily doses (2,000 to 3,000 milligrams) to achieve pain relief. Take supplements and try to eat foods, such as salmon, that contain these healthy fats naturally. Make sure you tell your doctor about these and any other supplements that you’re taking.
Get More Vitamin D
You may not consciously be avoiding vitamin D, but if you religiously wear sunblock and tend not to eat eggs, dairy, or sardines, you probably don’t get enough of this essential vitamin. Preliminary research suggests that if you don’t get enough vitamin D, which plays a key role in keeping bones healthy, you are at greater risk for joint pain and arthritis. Consider taking a supplement as well as amping up the vitamin D food sources in your diet.
Take Your Arthritis Medications
Missing a dose of your arthritis medication will mean that there is a gap in your arthritis pain control. It’s easy to skip a dose if you are feeling good at any given moment, but you might pay later in joint pain and aching knees. Whether your medications are prescription or over-the-counter, you should take them exactly as your doctor directed.
Stop Putting Up With Clutter
Fall prevention is essential as you get older. If you already have arthritis, compensating for joint pain and stiffness could make you unsteady and put you at greater risk of falling. So it won’t help to have clutter creating tripping hazards that add to your challenges. Tripping and falling may add to existing joint pain or create new damage to a joint. Learn how to prevent falls at home and at work.
Get Good Sleep
A lack of sleep and arthritis pain combine to create a vicious circle. Studies show that people who haven’t had enough sleep the night before are more likely to report all kinds of pain, including joint pain, the next day. Unfortunately, for many people with arthritis, sleep is a challenge because joint pain wakes them up. Nonetheless, sleep is important. Talk to your doctor about arthritis pain control that can help make sleep possible.
Stamp Out Stress
You don’t need us to tell you, but it’s a crazy, stressful world, especially if you are living with aching knees or joint pain. The problem is that stress can make your arthritis pain worse. Many people with joint pain feel their pain more deeply because their muscles tense up to protect the joint. If you are stressed, your overall physical tension can be greater, magnifying joint and muscle pain. So take a deep breath, and try to let all that stress go. Meditation, massage, and acupuncture are all good options. Source: http://www.everydayhealth.com/arthritis-pictures/daily-habits-for-arthritis-pain-relief-0216.aspx

Relieve Allergies
The Natural Way Itchy eyes? Sore throat? Runny nose? Welcome to allergy season. Over-the-counter medicines will ease your symptoms, but some natural remedies may work, too. Here are a few to consider trying. HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS You can take these in the form of a capsule, drops, or tea. You may already have one proven allergy fighter in your pantry: Green tea is a natural antihistamine that’s powerful enough to actually interfere with allergy skin testing. Sip two cups a day, about 2 weeks before allergy season starts, to help avoid congestion. An herb called butterbur may block allergies as well as over-thecounter antihistamines. Licorice root is another good choice, because it raises your body’s level of naturally produced steroids. It may also help loosen mucus, so you’ll breathe easier and cough less. DIETARY CHANGES Ever notice how your nose starts to run after you’ve finished a plate of hot wings? That’s because hot, spicy foods have an effect that can help clear nasal passages. Try adding cayenne pepper, hot ginger, or fenugreek, a plant grown in Europe and Asia, to your meals. While not as fiery, onion and garlic can also help calm your sore nose and un-stuff your head. Ask your doctor if cutting some foods from your diet might ease your allergy symptoms, too. Dried fruits and some dairy products, like certain cheeses, can cause the blood vessels in your nose to swell and make you more congested. Other items to skip? People allergic to ragweed, pollen, or other weed pollens should avoid eating melon, banana, cucumber, sunflower seeds, and chamomile. All these foods can make symptoms worse. If you think certain foods might be setting off your allergies, write them down. Share this "food diary" with your doctor at your next visit.

ACUPUNCTURE This ancient Chinese procedure has been used to treat a number of allergy symptoms, from sneezing and runny nose to puffy eyes. During a session, a trained practitioner gently places hair-thin needles under the skin at different parts of your body. It’s common to see improvement even after the first treatment. If you have ongoing (chronic) allergies, you might need two sessions per week for 6 weeks. NASAL RINSES Use a Neti pot to flush dust and pollen from your nose. You can buy one from your local drugstore. This gadget looks like a little teapot with a long spout. Fill it with distilled or sterile water and rinse one nostril at a time. Do this twice a day to relieve allergy symptoms, ALLERGY-PROOFING The easiest way to avoid an allergy attack is to get rid of things in your home that make you sneeze. • Vacuum at least once a week to remove allergens from rugs and furniture. Use a HEPA filter if possible. • If you have dust allergies, buy dust-proof mattress covers and pillow-case covers, too. • Close windows and doors during peak allergy season. • Take off your shoes before you go inside. • Wash any clothing that might have come into contact with pollen. Also, a quick rinse in the shower before bedtime, especially after being outdoors all day, will help keep pollen out of your bed. Remember, you can always ask your doctor for more help. They will be able to find out what you’re allergic to and how to treat it.

HEALTHY LIVING:
Preventing Stroke Healthy Weight Being overweight or obese increases your risk for stroke. To determine whether your weight is in a healthy range, doctors often calculate your body mass index (BMI). Doctors sometimes also use waist and hip measurements to measure excess body fat.
You can help prevent stroke by making healthy lifestyle choices. A healthy lifestyle includes the following: •Eating a healthy diet. •Maintaining a healthy weight. •Getting enough exercise. •Not smoking. •Limiting alcohol use. Healthy Diet Choosing healthy meal and snack options can help you avoid stroke and its complications. Be sure to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating foods low in saturated fats, trans fat, and cholesterol and high in fiber can help prevent high cholesterol. Limiting salt (sodium) in your diet also can lower your blood pressure.
Physical Activity Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight and lower your cholesterol and blood pressure levels. For adults, the Surgeon General recommends 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderateintensity exercise, like brisk walking or bicycling, every week. Children and adolescents should get 1 hour of physical activity every day. No Smoking Cigarette smoking greatly increases your risk for stroke. If you don’t smoke, don’t start. If you do smoke, quitting will lower your risk for stroke. Your doctor can suggest ways to help you quit. Limited Alcohol Avoid drinking too much alcohol, which can raise your blood pressure. Men should have no more than 2 drinks per day, and women only 1.

Choosing A Primary Care Physician - The Smart Way Choosing a new physician can be a difficult task. Asking for recommendations is a good way to start, but ultimately you will have to decide which physician is best suited to your individual needs and situation. It is important to establish a relationship with a primary care physician (PCP), especially before you ever get sick. Primary care doctors should be the first line of defense in protecting your health, but millions of Americans don’t have a PCP. Even patients who regularly visit specialists don’t always have a PCP, leaving them unprepared when the flu or an infection strikes. Everyone gets sick at some point, so selecting a PCP ahead of time means you don’t have to scramble around when you need medical care. Here are some questions and answers that can help you select a PCP who understands your particular needs. What information should I find out about the doctor? It may help to ask the doctor’s office these questions: • At which hospitals does the doctor have privileges? • How long does it take to get in to see the doctor for a routine visit and for urgently needed care? • Who covers for the doctor when the need arises? • Is the doctor board certified? (This means he or she has had training after medical school and has passed an exam to be certified as a specialist in a certain field.) What personal qualities should I look for in a doctor? Find a doctor who listens carefully, explains things clearly, anticipates your health problems and allows you to ask questions. What information should I bring to my appointment? It is important to provide your doctor with the following: • Your health history. • A list of medications you’re taking. • Any vitamins or supplements you take. • A description of any current health problems you’re having. If you have symptoms, the doctor will want to know when they first appeared and how often. • A list of questions. Ask your doctor to explain any answers you don’t understand.
