bodybuilders or individuals looking to maximize their muscle mass. This is a limited lens to view resistance training through. Strength levels are a surprisingly accurate predictor of health and wellness. In simple terms, the stronger a person is, the lower their chances of dying are, and the better their quality of life is. It is important to address that this statement is true for natural strength, not strength built through the
use of performance enhancing substances. The importance of musculoskeletal health and strength for healthy aging, improved quality of life, and increased longevity is shown in many peer reviewed studies.

Q: How can technology help to transition my business to hy- brid or fully remote? Steve Boring The RAC
A: As many jobs shifted to remote, many companies have seen increased productivity and lower operational costs. Workers have found that they prefer WFH to the point that they are willing to quit if forced to return. It’s safe to say that remote workers will continue to be a larger part of the workforce going forward. Here are 2 top solutions for your remote workforce: 1. Modern Desktop.

managed, and secured over the internet without a direct connection back to a corporate office. This means that compliance, remote support, and device maintenance - all with an internet connection. 2. Cloud-enabled applications. For a remote workforce to be highly productive, businesses need to consider moving to applications that are internet-facing and provide the ability to access without the need to connect via VPN etc. back to a corporate environment. Q: How can I make a healthy home or workplace?
A: For many years, a common misconception was 80% of the dust in our indoor environments is from human skin. While some of the indoor “soiling” may contain human skin, most is dirt, pollen, pollution, pet hair or particles tracked in from outdoors. So how do we keep things healthy with this stuff coming in from outdoors? Simple cleaning will eliminate most of the issues. Carpeted surfaces should be cleaned weekly as they are the biggest filter in your home or business. Hard surfaces should be cleaned twice weekly, or you can add more contaminates to the air just walking through a space. HVAC systems propel particles throughout buildings, so change filters quarterly or twice a year,

depending on the filter type. Window coverings can be an attractor of dirt… vacuum window coverings monthly for best results. Horizontal surfaces collect many soils and should be cleaned weekly. If you have allergies, an air filtration device can remove excess particles from the air. These quick and easy tips will make your home or business a healthy place to live or work.
