2. Plan meals around a vegetable Instead of thinking of a vegetable as a side dish, make it the main event. 3. Swap refined grains for whole grains Choose whole wheat bread, whole grain pasta and brown rice instead of white, refined grains. 4. Revamp your snacks Swap out crackers or chips for crunchy fruits and vegetables and replace candy or cookies with naturally sweet fruit like berries or grapes. 5. Drink more water Water helps regulate your body temperature and helps rid your body of toxins. Make it your primary beverage at meals.
As the weather gets warmer, get inspired to eat food that truly nourishes your body so you feel your best. Try these 5 clean eating tips to ‘health-ify’ your diet:
1.Don’t think that more expensive equals better. Brands of running shoes vary greatly in price. Do your research. 4 Tips Everyone Should Know Before Buying Running Shoes 2.Get fitted at a running store. Try on brands and compare shoes that fit your gait pattern. Have a professional evaluate your walking pattern or gait and fit you with the proper shoe.
1. Focus on ‘one-ingredient’ foods These are whole, natural foods with no added ingredients. Examples include fresh fruits and vegetables; quinoa, brown rice, bulgur, oats; natural dairy products such as natural cheeses, plain, unsweetened yogurt and low-fat milk; lean proteins like fresh meats and seafood, dried beans and eggs.
3.Buy a shoe that is comfortable. Buy something you feel great wearing.
4.Get a gait analysis from a physical therapist. Checking whether you are a supinator, pronator or have a neutral foot is the first step towards buying the right type of shoe.

Q: I’m going to flip the script this month and ask YOU a question. May is World Stroke Month. Do YOU know the symptoms of a stroke? Think F.A.S.T. Ask a PT: Have a question about physical therapy, an injury or pain you’re experiencing? Our therapist, Devin Wurman, DPT has the answers.
Refer someone to LSTC for physical therapy! When they come in for care and tell us you referred them, we will enter you into our drawing for a $50 gift card!
• A: F ACE: Ask the person to smile. Take notice if one side droops. A RM: Ask the person to raise their arms. Does one arm drift lower than the other? S PEECH: Ask the patient to repeat a sentence. Is their speech slurred? T IME: Call 9-1-1! The faster you get help, the better. Life-saving tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) can be administered to the patient if they are able to get to the hospital within the first three hours of a stroke.
Every time we have 13 entries in the jar, we will draw a name for a $50 gift card. Then the game starts over. Play now for your chance to win and keep playing for more chances!
Congrats to David and Shirley B! They have both been patients in the past and referred another brand new patient our way. They win a $50 dollar gift card. Thank you for helping LSTC grow.
