 WINTER WALKING TIPS
Be more cautious now that it gets darker sooner. Always assume that drivers CAN'T see you. Wear bright colors and reflective clothing. Remember to "sneak and peak" around snow banksand other parked cars. If you can't see them, they can't see you. Watch out for slippery sidewalks and streets. Any wet or darkened surface may be icy. Wear boots and warm socks to keep your feet warm and balanced on the frozen surfaces. Walk more slowly and with a wider gait than normal...walk like a penguin to keep more balanced. Remember that it is COLD outside...wear a hat, scarf, mittens/gloves and dress in layers. How do you get through the holidays without hassles???
" The kids are home from school, quietly wrapping the presents they bought at the school store for family members. A fire is crackling in the fireplace and the smell of freshly baked cookies wafts through the holiday decorated house. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? Nothing at all if you're in a Hallmark Card. The reality is more likely to be overstimulated and tired kids, unbaked holiday treats, presents yet to be purchased, the decorations still unpacked in the basement and a totally frazzled you!!" (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) This year, try having holidays without hassles. Plan a different approach including relaxation and enjoyment. 1. Try NOT to do everything yourself. Make a list of what others (especially the children) can do to help and encourage them to do it. Remember it is ok if every cookie you make is not identically shaped. 2. Eat for Health. Have an apple, small yogurt or other snack before going to a holiday party so you won't be starving and desire the goodies immediately upon arrival. Many holiday recipes can be "lightened up" by making substitutions such as yogurt for sour cream, by using reduced fat dairy products or by using applesauce instead of oil when making brownies. 3. Keep Moving. Maintain your usual exercise routine. The added stress and caloriesmean you need physical exercise even more. Try (as if you had a choice) to park your cara distance away from the shopping mall entrance. 4. Plan fun activities with the kids. Plan activities not on the "to do" list, like going to a show, to a museum, or going ice skating. 5. Emphasize what's important and the true meaning your family has for the holidays. 6. Get plenty of rest. Balance activities with rest periods. Encourage all family members to get a good night's sleep every night so they are refreshed to enjoy all of the holiday festivities. Happy healthy Holidays to everyone.....Mrs. Kaplan Who is Alexander Fleming? What is he famous for doing?  Trivia is Back!!! The most recent health trivia question was: How many bones are there in the human body? The answer is 206. Alyssa Edwards in Room 19 and Nifemi Fenwa in room 6 took the time to look up the answer and got it right. Both students received a new pencil.  |
