So you’ve decided to get in better shape. That’s great news! Exercising regularly is associated with a slew of health benefits, including reducing your risk for heart disease and many cancers. It also helps you maintain a healthy weight and improves your overall mental health.
If it’s been a while since you were active, though, you may want to modify some exercise moves at first. For example, the pushup is a great exercise for working several body parts at once. But it’s challenging for many people because it requires a lot of upper body and core strength. Instead of trying regular pushups, start with a modified version today: Do the pushups on your hands and knees instead of your hands and toes. As you get stronger, you can move up to traditional pushups. Look for other ways to safely modify moves—it’s better to do a modified exercise than nothing at all.

Talking to someone about your problems can help you solve them or gain a new perspective on them. Consider talking to family members, friends, co-workers, or religious advisers. If you feel highly stressed or depressed, you may want to consider speaking with a health professional.
So today, remind yourself that you should avoid keeping some of your problems to yourself, and that it is okay to reach out to others for help!

Thank you to DeLorey Chiropractic for presenting the How to Stay Young Lunch ‘n Learn on June 19th, and providing pizza and chair massages! Ten employees attended and learned the importance of maintaining a healthy spine to avoid back problems as we age.
Jamie with DeLorey explained that just like we maintain our teeth through getting check-ups every 6 months and caring for them daily to ensure we have healthy teeth throughout our lives, it is important to give attention to our spinal health now, instead of waiting until we are in a lot of pain. It is estimated that 80% of people experience back pain, so this is a widespread issue.
Thanks to everyone who attended!

Your core is the foundation for all your body’s movement, and weak abdominal and lower back muscles can make you more prone to injury. In fact, about 8 in 10 of us will experience back pain at some point in our lives.
To help build a stronger core, try this straight-leg raise today: Lie on your back with your arms at your sides, legs extended. Keeping your right leg straight, lift it toward the ceiling until it’s perpendicular to your torso, exhaling as you do so, then lower it back down, inhaling. Lift and lower the left leg next. That’s one rep; do 10 total. (To make the move more challenging, you can lift both legs at once—but avoid this if it bothers your lower back.)

This is a lighter variation on a Southern classic, chicken and dumplings, which are a type of homemade noodle.
The trick is to use a light, fresh noodle that doesn’t have to be pre-boiled.
Ingredients
Directions
Put chicken broth into a large soup pot and add onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, then add condensed mushroom soup and chicken. Heat thoroughly and add vegetables.
Slice each egg roll wrapper into three “wide noodles.” Add noodles three at a time to simmering soup. Stir gently so they don’t stick, and continue adding until all are in the pot.
Continue simmering for about 2 minutes. Ladle into 4 bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
