Health and Wellness Corner! An active retirement is the best!

Sunlight Kills Germs, Even Indoors Researchers from the University of Oregon and Harvard University collected dust from homes in the Eugene, Oregon, area and placed it in rooms exposed to the sun’s visible rays, its ultraviolet light, or no light at all. Ninety days later, the dark rooms had twice as many living bacteria as the sunlit rooms, including bacteria related to respiratory pathogens, while the UV rooms had slightly fewer bacteria than the visible –light ones did. So remember: Going outside can improve health in many ways, but even at home you should let the sun shine in. From Reader’s Digest, March 2019, News from the world of Medicine

In the Water

You don’t have to be a swimmer to get some excellent exercise in a pool or lake, says Kim Evans, a water fitness instructor and personal trainer at Spring Lake Fitness and Aquatic Center in Spring Lake, MI. In fact, you’ll get a greater calorie burn staying upright, barely letting your feet touch the ground. That’s because you’re pushing your limbs against the resistance of the water and against the current you create with your own movements. “Try running just one length of a pool and you’ll feel it.” Evans says. Here’s a helpful bo-nus: that water’s pressure keeps your heart rate lower, so you can push yourself harder. That said, if you’re just getting back into the rhythm of exercising, do this workout in chest deep water with your feet on the ground. Aim for 30 minutes of moving, and do as much as you can without feeling like you’re totally out of breath. **Both articles were given by Judy Everett **
