Keep Your Toenails Trimmed

 
BEAUTY TIP: Trim the Toenails                                           

It's sandals and flip flops weather. For the love of common sense, please keep the talons trimmed! Toenails should not be cut too short, either, nor should they be cut pointed or rounded. 

The healthiest trim for your toenails is straight across. NOT like these!

Walking -- It's Good for What Ails You!


Unless you have an unusual health issue or injury, walking is just good for you. Walking is obviously good for fitness, but according to numerous articles and studies, walking relieves stress and promotes mental health.

Walking and hiking are both low impact. Low-impact exercise doesn't cause injury to joints. In fact, walking actually helps to increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

According to the American Heart Association, walking also reduces the risk of coronary heart disease; improves blood pressure, blood sugar levels and blood lipid profile; maintains body weight and lower the risk of obesity; reduces the risk of breast and colon cancer; and reduces the risk of non-insulin dependent (type 2) diabetes.

In addition to all these great health benefits, a stroll in your neighborhood is a good way to bond with your spouse, kids or pet, meet your neighbors, and catch a beautiful sunset. So what are you waiting for? Lace up your walking shoes and get out there!
