YOUR HEALTH Summer is officially here, and as the temperatures rise, staying hydrated is even more important. Did you know most hunger pains are your body telling you it is thirsty?

What You May Not Know About Acid Reflux
An estimated 60 million Americans suffer from acid reflux, and your treatment may not be appropriate. According to the Mayo Clinic, acid reflux is when the sphincter muscle at the lower end of your esophagus relaxes at the wrong time, allowing stomach acid to back up into your esophagus. This can cause heartburn and […]
Make Time for Health

In order to break a bad habit, we must replace the old behavior with a new one. Any change takes time and setbacks can come easily until the new habit is formed. Combat that with having a Plan B to keep you on track.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I take spin classes at a local gym. This is my time to exercise without having to plan, organize, lead, and instruct. I was shocked to learn the one teacher doesn’t stretch. She’s been complaining about pain, and I shared with her the importance of stretching to prevent injuries. Her reply, […]
Setbacks are Not the End of the Story
Like many, I was amazed to see the actor, Jeremy Renner, out in public so soon after being crushed by a snow plow back in January. He sustained multiple injuries, including over 30 broken bones. He is in pain every day as his body works on fully healing, but he isn’t letting this setback hold […]
