Spring is here and here are few things you can do this spring to get healthy...

  • Get in the garden (not only does it make your landscaping pretty, but gardening also burns approximately 250 to 350 calories an hour)
  • Sign Up Your Kids for Swimming Lessons. Drowning is the leading cause of accidents and deaths in children. So, let's prevent this
  • Start Thinking About Allergy Season. While Zyrtec and Claritin are now offered over the counter, you'll still need to see your doctor if you take nasal steroids
  • Consider Becoming an Early Bird. This helps you to get healthier, improve your vitamin D, and symptoms of depression
  • Get Dirty. And let your kids get dirty, too. Getting dirty can be exposure to common bacteria, and common bacteria are good for you
  • Take a Walk During Your Lunch Hour. A walk will also get you away from your desk and provide that moderate exercise doctors keep recommending
