COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT:
Renew PT will be remaining open to provide essential care. In light of the COVID-19 , we are taking every precaution to ensure your health and safety. We believe that continuing to offer physical therapy will not only help patients continue their recovery and stay on course but also give recently injured patients or chronic pain sufferers someone to readily consult without visiting the doctor’s office. That being said, we want to assure you that we are taking the proper precautions to encourage social distancing, maintain a virus-free environment, and provide hand sanitizer for staff and patients. We have adjusted our schedules to accomodate patients every hour and have made sure to comply with social distancing guidelines by only having 10 people in each clinic at a time. Before and after every session, we are asking our clients and staff to wash or sanitize their hands. Additionally, we have increased the number of times per day that we sanitize our equipment and facility. To do your part to prevent the spread of this contagious disease, we ask those demonstrating symptoms of coronavirus—coughing, sneezing or fever—to please stay home. Additionally, if you have been exposed to someone who has a confirmed case of the virus, please notify us immediately so we can take necessary steps.

The essential vitamins found within fruits and vegetables are key to making sure your immune system is as healthy as possible. VitaminC helpsyourbodyboost itsproduction of the antioxidant that is required by the immune systemto functionoptimally. Vitamin C increases your body’s production of interferon, which is anti-viral. Vitamin C is also thought to help boost the production of white blood cells, key to fighting infections. Fruits high in Vitamin C include: grapefruit, oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes, kiwis and clementines. A single papaya has 224 percent of the daily recommended amount of Vitamin C. Red bell peppers contain even twice as
much Vitamin C than citrus fruits. Vegetables such as broccoli and spinach boast a good amount of Vitamin C as well as antioxidants. Vitamin D is another effective supplement to help boost your immune system. Look for yogurt that is fortifiedwith VitaminDand that has a "live and active cultures" label. VitaminD may stimulate your immune systemandboost your body's natural defence against diseases. Vitamin B6 is vital for supporting chemical reactions in the immune system and for the formation of new and healthy red blood cells. B6 also helps your body make interleukin-2which helps direct the actions of yourwhite blood cells. Poultry, such as chicken
and turkey, is high in Vitamin B6. Sunflower seeds are alsopacked full of VitaminB6 aswell as phosphorus, magnesium, and Vitamin E. Vitamin E is key to a healthy immune system as it helps to regulate andmaintain function. It can be found in sunflower seeds, almonds, avocados, and dark leafy greens. Zinc is also needed by our bodies to support a healthy immune system. Shellfish such as crab, clams, lobster, and mussels are all packedwith zinc.Make sure to stick to thedaily recommended amount 11mg for men and 8mg for women, as too much could actually inhibit the immune system.
