ZPT GaZette The Newsletter About Your Health And Caring For Your Body

Dear ZPT family and friends, April! Spring! Open up nature and let it come alive again! I love this time of year, for that very reason, to watch the redbud trees pop and the daffodils bloom. This
my bloodwork done and secure that appointment. Dermatology – I can get by with check ups every other year, so I can skip that this year; but others who have sun exposure or high risk factors should be checked more often! This year I gave myself a gift of an appointment withaHealthCoachhere inZionsville,DawnParker. She already has provided an amazing tour through a grocery story with advice on how to read labels and look for the healthy choices in our food. Since I consider my food as medicine, this was so informative and gave me a great update on what I had already been reading and studying. So, what about YOU? I give you permission to claim a spring birthday and give yourself a healthy gift! Perhaps some long-overdue medical, dental or eye appointments? A check up with a ZPT Physical Therapist to make sure you are moving, balancing andagingwell?Areyouasstrongandflexibleasyou should be? How about a conversation with Elaine abouthealthy nutrition?An appointmentwithDawn Parker www.dawnjparker.com. Her Facebook page is www.facebook.com/dawnjparkerhealthcoach. Thiscouldbe theyear forsomePOSITIVEchanges. You regularly take care of your car, your pets, your other family members… what about your health? I can think of nothing more important. So many diseases and conditions can be modified, healed or prevented with appropriate physical therapy, food and lifestyle changes. I will give you my birthday as an excuse. Make the call today! To healthy living, Elaine p.s. Isaiah40:29-31: “Hegivesstrength to theweary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

month we focus on gardening tips and specific recommendations from the experts. This is the time to plan and start that garden plot, from herbs in a pot, to flowers along the sidewalk, to a full scale vegetable garden! What do you have planned this year? Admittedly, too, there is a very important event in April to celebrate: MY BIRTHDAY! (how egotistical!) But really, when we celebrate birthdays, it can bring phone calls, cards, Facebook posts, flowers and cake! I like to reminisce a little, too. Our old photo albums show some of my early birthdays falling on or near Easter, so my mom once made a cake shaped like a rabbit, with coconut hair. Another cake was more popular: a strawberry cake with pink icing and white flowers decorating it, made from tiny marshmallows! More recently Mom has made a dinner of homemade chicken and noodles, followedbyangel foodcakewithchocolatemousse on the side. Mmmm! Another thing I typicallydo inApril, isgetmybicycle back in shape for riding season, with a check up and lubrication; I’ll charge up my odometer and figure how to use it again. I will make sure I have an appointmentsetup toseemy trusty optometristso that my ever-changing vision can be corrected and to get his expert opinion on maintaining good eye health.
