November is Child Safety & Protection Month. The observance calls attention to the many unique dangers children may encounter as they grow into adulthood. This encompasses infants, toddlers, children, and teenagers. Children rely on us as adults to keep Child Safety & Protection Month KEEPING OUR CHILDREN SAFE them safe and protected and Child Safety & Protection Month urges parents and adults to take safety measures to avoid potentially dangerous situations for children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 12,175 children in the U.S. from infancy to 19 years of age die each year from an unintentional injury. While we all want to do our very best to keep our children safe in our homes, incidents can happen outside of the home. In the event that a minor is involved in an injury-causing accident, a personal injury claim must be opened in an effort to receive full compensation for the child’s pain and suffering, medical bills, permanent damages, and possible disability. Because children are unable to handle the case themselves, their parent is able to act on their behalf and the parent can
Should You Work Out on Thanksgiving Day?
The Truth About Sweating for Your Turkey
Okay, fess up — which of your friends insists on getting a 5-mile run in before the turkey is carved? We all know someone who works out every year on Thanksgiving. The thought is that if you burn calories in the morning, the big meal won’t hit you so hard. But is that really true? And if it is, when and how should you get sweaty? To Sweat, or Not to Sweat
The verdict is in: Working out on Thanksgiving morning is good for you. Surprise! However, according to Mic magazine, it’s less about balancing your calories in and calories out (which is almost impossible for a Thanksgiving feast) and more about priming your body to anticipate the meal to come. “Your body will be calling for those calories — you’ll need them,” gym trainer Daniel Stransky told Mic. When and How to Hit the Gym Stransky recommends hitting the gym both on Thanksgiving Day and the day after. On Turkey Day, he suggests “a high-intensity interval training cardio circuit comprised of burpees, squats with overhead dumbbell presses, jump squats, sprints, and rowing on the rowing machine.” Meanwhile, Bodybuilding.com writer Shannon Clark advises working out before, on, and after Thanksgiving. On the day before, go for a long run or walk. Then on Turkey Day, try weight training using high reps and short rest periods to “deplete the muscle glycogen” so that you can eat more Thanksgiving carbs without gaining fat. The next day, Clark recommends interval cardio training to boost your metabolism. The Obvious Truth There’s one thing all of this Thanksgiving workout talk overlooks: The most important thing isn’t whether you work out on Turkey Day — it’s whether you stick to a workout routine year-round. A recent pilot study from the University of Michigan helped prove this. The participants were asked to eat 30% more calories than normal for a week but continue exercising regularly. As long as they did, their new diets didn’t cause inflammation or changes in their glucose control or insulin sensitivity. If you don’t already have a workout routine in place, consider this to be a sign! Work with your physical therapist to determine a safe, effective exercise program for you.
