Tip 1: If you take a tumble, don't tense your body. Instead, let yourself slump and roll, which helps your body absorb the impact and avoid injury.
Tip 2: Learn how many calories you need each day to stay at a healthy weight or to lose weight. Your doctor, a dietitian or online tools such as in the Wellness Tools section of www.goodneighborpharmacy.com can help you gauge the amount.
Tip 3: Are you lifting the right weight? A weight's too heavy if you can't lift it six times in a row. A weight's too light if you can easily lift it 15 times in a row.
Tip 4: To avoid medication mistakes, ask the pharmacist at your Good Neighbor Pharmacy the best way to measure liquid medicine. Teaspoons, for instance, often don't hold a real teaspoonful.
Tip 5: Embrace or kiss your partner every day. Happy marriages boast health benefits like lower blood pressure.
