Health Notes

• Health Notes is a project sponsored by the
  Sacred Heart Health Ministry. Each week a Health
  Note providing information about specific health
  problems and good health practices will be
  published in the church bulletin and on the
  church website. Our partners in this project
  were a group of senior nursing students at the
  UTMB School of Nursing, who developed all of the
  Health Notes you will see for the coming year as
  part of their Community Health Nursing course.
  Our parish has been blessed by their creativity
  and hard work on our behalf.

• Week 4
• Move More
• Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move
  your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between
  that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog
  chase your kids toss balls with friends, mow the
  lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only
  a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think
  'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't
  have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute
  aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But
  that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile,
  move more. Thought for the day Cha, Cha, Cha.
  Then do it!
• Floss Your Teeth
• Recent studies make a direct connection
  between longevity and teeth
  flossing. Nobody
  knows exactly why. Perhaps it's because people
  who floss tend to be more health
  conscious than people who don't?
  Thought for the day Floss and
  be your body's boss.

DAILY HEALTH
