Summer Safety Tips, Part II With The AMI Clinic Bedford

Summer Safety Tips, Part II
Early this week, we shared some great tips for summertime safety, including absorbing vitamin D safely, some natural alternatives to sunscreen, managing chlorine levels and bug sprays.
Here are some more…


Watch for dehydration. 
Some of the signs of dehydration are dry mouth, weakness, dizziness and confusion—and there are actually a lot of causes of dehydration; low carb diets, prescription medication, stress, pregnancy, breastfeeding, exercise, supplements, alcohol—just to name a few. Sounds overwhelming, but there are some ways you can guard against dehydration this summer. Munch on fruits high in water content, like watermelon, pears, pineapple and grapefruit. Veggies to choose are leafy greens, celery, squash and cabbage. And even though it’s obvious, we all need the reminder: make sure you’re getting at least one eight-ounce glass of water per hour—even more if you’re outside all day.

Walking, seeing the great outdoors. 
The great outdoors are an excellent way to spend a weekend. Be sure to take a first aid kit and look ahead for the weather so you can bring the right equipment. Also, it’s important to choose your shoes wisely, especially if you’ll be hiking/walking long distances.

Choose healthy grilling options. 
Summer just isn’t summer with a barbeque or two. Fish is always an excellent option. If you want to pick some beef or poultry—the labels can get quite confusing. Remember that “natural” doesn’t mean anything; always look for “organic” grass-fed meats which are leaner and contain more nutrients than their grain-fed counterparts.

Enjoy the Summer Everyone…Be Safe!

Hey , If you’ve spent any time around me. Or read any of my emails. You’ll have heard me say 3 magic words… In fact, I don’t know for sure if I talk in my sleep. But if I do, I’ve got no doubt I’d be saying: “Lotion is motion.” If I was a spine-adjusting superhero, it would definitely be my catchphrase. But what does it actually mean? It's no secret that our bodies are designed to move. Yet, in a world increasingly inclined towards sedentary lifestyles, we often forget the power of motion.  But here are 5 reasons why integrating movement into your daily routine is critical to your health: #1. Boosts Mental Health Regular physical activity is a natural mood enhancer, helping to relieve stress, anxiety, and depression. It's like nature's antidepressant - without the side effects . #2. Enhances Joint Health Movement helps maintain joint flexibility and can reduce pain and stiffness. If you’re focusing on improving your spinal health, regular motion will ensure that your bac...

  5 reasons to put your phone down in February Do you ever think about how different life was before mobile phones? Having to call someone's house phone to get hold of them. Or agreeing a place and time to meet someone, and hoping they turned up! Nowadays, where our phones are often 'glued' to our person at all times, it's easy to forget the value of truly unplugging. That's why today, I'm inviting you to explore the concept of a digital detox. It's more than just a break from screens - it's a journey towards improved mental and physical health. Here are my top 5 reasons digital detox can be incredibly beneficial: 1.  Reduced Stress:  It's no secret that constant notifications and social media can increase stress and anxiety. Stepping away from screens gives your mind a much-needed break, leading to a more relaxed and calm state. 2.  Improved Sleep:  Screens emit blue light that can disrupt your sleep cycle. By reducing screen time, especially before...

Helping your way to health   This SURPRISING way to improve heart health (and more)     Although the promise of light mornings and warmer weather lies just around the corner, the dark, cold and wet weather at this time of year can leave us all feeling a bit downtrodden.     And while we often focus on the  physical  aspects of health -  especially here at our Chiropractic practic e - today I want to shine a light on something equally important:     The health benefits of altruism.     I.e.
