GET BACK ON TRACK WITH YOUR HEALTH! PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP
What Does it Mean to be Healthier? Health is defined as the state of being free from illness or injury. It essentially means that your body is operating at its highest levels of function. Any step you make toward helping your body function at its optimum levels is a step toward becoming a healthier you. Physical therapy treatments can help improve your health, but they only work if you apply healthy lifestyle choices in your everyday life, as well. Some tips you can do on your own to become healthier, stronger, and more active include: 1. Getting enough sleep. Sleep is the most effective strategy that has one of the most significant effects on your overall well-being. To keep your body functioning normally, try and get between 7 and 8 hours of sleep per night. The more regular your rest, the better you will feel. 2. Strength training. Strength training is one of the most effective injury prevention strategies to help stay injury-free. 3. Cardiovascular exercise. Get your heart rate up and make sure you walk or are active and moving every day! Frequent exercise can boost your metabolism and improve your mood. (continued inside)

Are you on a newfound mission to eat healthier? Are you unsure where to start? Do you need help navigating the aisles at the grocery store? If so, you’ve come to the right place! With these tips and tricks for healthy shopping, you’ll be whizzing through the grocery store like a pro. 1. Make a list– and stick to it. Making a list is the single most crucial step in forming healthy habits at the grocery store. Plus, going shopping without a plan is a surefire way to end up buying items you don’t need. Print sudoku http://1sudoku.com Before you write your list, research healthy recipes and select a few you want to try for the week. From there, think about what ingredients you already have and which ones you still need. This strategy also saves you time and money! 2. Don’t go shopping on an empty stomach. One of the biggest mistakes people make– hurting their wallet and health– is going shopping hungry. This usually results in impulse purchases, and these impulsive purchases aren’t always the healthiest options. When you’re hungry, you might buy snacks or sweets you wouldn’t usually go for. To avoid this, make sure you’ve eaten before hitting the supermarket. 3. Compare labels. Even if you think a food is healthy, it’s essential to read the Nutrition Facts label. Ingredients and nutrient content can vary significantly– even between similar items. When you have more than one option, make sure to compare the labels. Select the item with the lowest sodium, saturated fat, and added sugars. 6 8 3 8 2 7 3 5 2 3 8 n° 29853 - Level Medium 8 4 6 9 1 6 2 2 1 4 3 4 5 9 4
