Most teenagers today spend a great deal of their waking hours attached to their smartphones. This can be to the detriment of their health and fitness levels, with postural deviations occurring in their spine (rounded shoulders and forward neck) as well as too much time in a sitting position. It is so important that we encourage our teens to move their bodies so that they are laying the foundation for healthy bones and ensuring a healthy body composition to reduce the chances of obesity into their adult years. Encourage your teen to get a minimum of one hour a day of physical activity!

Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious virus which commonly affects children under 10. Symptoms include sores, inside or around the mouth, and a rash or blisters on the hands, feet, legs or buttocks. While not pleasant, the disease is also not serious. There is no cure, and preventative measures are the best hope against the disease. To avoid getting the disease, wash hands regularly with soap and water, especially after changing diapers or going to the bathroom. Clean and disinfect touched surfaces and soiled items, including toys, and avoid kissing, hugging or sharing eating utensils with people with hand-foot-and-mouth disease. Take care and play safe!

HIIT training is known as “high-intensity interval training”. This type of training is where you perform short bouts of high-intensity exercises, followed by longer recovery phases. Typically, HIIT sessions will last around 30 to 40 minutes. These workouts burn fat effectively, improve your cardiovascular health, drive your metabolism up, even for hours afterwards, as well as help provide improved athletic capacity and condition. These workouts are ideal if your goal is fat loss and you are short on time…a much better alternative to longer, steady state cardio such as spending an hour on the treadmill.

With the season changing, we see many outdoor activities coming to an end.

There are many benefits for children who have regular physical activity; it reduces blood sugar levels, controls weight, and much more! Keeping your children active all year round is as easy as finding a fitness class for them.

It’s officially cold season, and not just for people. While dogs can’t “catch” a cold from their humans (the viruses that cause colds in people are generally species-specific), many viruses do infect dogs, such as canine adenovirus type 2, canine respiratory coronavirus, and canine parainfluenza virus. It’s important to see your veterinarian if your dog is ill, but the HB Naturals Cold & Congestion Essential Oils Blend is a natural and effective remedy to be used in conjunction with traditional veterinary care. The natural ingredients found in this product include Eucalyptus radiata, Cinnamomum camphora (Ravintsara), Melaleuca quinquenervia bs. viridiflora (Niaouli), and Cannabis sativa (hemp seed) oil.
