Since the added demands of the holiday season can stress the capacity of our bodies, we need to do everything we can to help ourselves. Eat right, drink plenty of water, stretch, exercise and take a few minutes to slow down and reflect on what the season is all about.”

Please consider the following tips to help keep you and your loved ones healthy, happy and safe this season.

Treat Holiday Shopping as an Athletic Event

*Stay hydrated! Drink eight to ten 8-ounce glasses of water a day. (Coffee, tea, soft drinks and alcohol are diuretics/dehydrators. Don’t substitute them for water.) On shopping days, you may need to drink even more water. Be sure to stretch before and after a long day of shopping.
*When you are stressed-out, your muscles are less flexible than usual.
*Wear shoes with plenty of cushioning in the soles to absorb the impact of walking on those hard shopping mall floors. According to recent studies, 60% of women report wearing shoes that are uncomfortable.
*Make sure the clothing you wear is as comfortable as possible. It’s a good idea to wear layers, because you may be going from a cold environment (outdoors) to a warm environment (indoors).
*Leave your purse at home. Wear a light f***y pack, or if necessary, a light backpack instead.
Pack only those items that are absolutely essential (driver’s license, credit card, etc.).
*If you start to feel some pain, nip it in the bud.
Apply an ice bag to the affected area for 20 minutes, then take it off for a couple of hours.
Repeat a couple of times each day over the next day or two.

So relax and enjoy the holidays!

Here in Minnesota, we're experts at shoveling snow (and hey, we've had plenty of practice). But sometimes even the pros need reminders. Shoveling is a hard cardiovascular workout, and adding subfreezing temps to the mix creates even more dangers.

The next time you grab your shovel, remember these simple tips to keep yourself safe:

- Take frequent breaks
- Dress in layers
- Stay hydrated
- Move only small amounts of snow

Or if you're one of the lucky ones, break out your snow blower 😎

Did you know that poor posture has been linked to causing increased instances of stress and fatigue?

Your posture has ties to emotional symptoms and responses due to the intricacy of your neuromusculoskeletal system. Everything is finely intertwined and can be affected by poor posture.

If you notice yourself slumped over a desk, mobile device or another item for long periods of time, chances are that you have poor posture.

To begin to adjust this and to give your body relief, simply align your spine and set your head evenly over your neck and shoulders, while letting your arms hang naturally. Many times, this simple step can release tension and sore muscles.
