~~Spring Fever~~

Spring Fever has taken Savannah by storm with an avalanche of pollen! :-) Boost your immune system with a massage! Drink plenty of fluids especially water and 100% fruit juice. Vitamin C, echinacea and garlic are excellent supplements for boosting immunity also.





I've been on my hands and knees spring cleaning. What about you? Dusting? Organizing? Don't forget to watch your body mechanics with lifting, squatting and get up and down off the floor. Keep twisting to a minimal and use those large leg muscles to do the heavy work not your back. Take breaks and stretch to keep joints limber and loose. If you do "tweak" something, make sure you get in for a massage soon! The quicker the response, the quicker the recovery.



Whether you are spring cleaning, working out in the yard, out in the boat, etc, staying hydrated is important for every cell and organ in your body. Lean muscle tissue contains about 75% water by weight. Blood contains almost 70% water, body fat contains 10% water and bone has 22% water. Skin also contains much water. The human body is about 60% water in adult males and 55% in adult females. Even if you don't feel thirsty, you should be drinking lots of water. Most research recommends 8 glasses a day, but new studies have found that to be truly hydrated, we should be drinking 50% of your body weight in ounces daily.

Hope you can all get out and enjoy this beautiful weather! Be safe~ be smart~ be careful! Lots of love
