“Water: It’s Time to Drink Up”
We are a few weeks into this year’s Walk Kansas program, which promotes physical activity over an 8-week course. While the basis of the program is staying active, an additional key to the program is logging the amount of water participants consume daily.
Did you know that your body is around 60 percent water? It is the most abundant compound in your body and is used by every bodily system.
What Research Tells Us About the COVID-19 Vaccine and Kansans
It’s hard to imagine a time when COVID-19 didn’t exist – when “virus” could mean anything and only medical professionals wore masks. The entire world has had to learn a lot very quickly in the past year. In uncertain times like these, science and facts can alleviate fear and help us understand what’s happening and how best to move forward.
As a kid, I loved to play outside. I would build forts, go on adventures in the forest, have tea parties in a secret garden – we were always on the move. As an adult, I find myself sitting and working, sitting and driving, just sitting all the time. And I am not alone – the CDC says that in the United States, we have what is called a sedentary lifestyle, where most adults spend a lot of time sitting down.
