IMPORTANT INFORMATION - SUPER BUG MRSA
MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) is a rapidly evolving staph infection that is responsible for infection of the skin and soft tissue as well as a serious form of pneumonia. Over the past few years, it has become resistant to antibiotics. Left untreated, and allowed to enter the bloodstream, Mersa can kill.
MRSA lives on the skin and spreads in health clubs, through dirty towels, filthy locker rooms or sweat-drenched workout equipment. While it can appear in any number of places other than health clubs, FITNESS FANS MUST TAKE PRECAUTIONS.
Protect Yourself and reduce risk by ...
· NEVER SHARING PERSONAL ITEMS such as towels, sheets, razors, clothing and athletic equipment. MRSA spreads on contaminated objects as well as through direct contact.
· COVERING CUTS to help protect against exposure to MRSA bacteria.
· LAUNDERING WORKOUT CLOTHES after each wearing (I know... how GROSS is THAT not to!); If you have a cut or sore, wash towels and bedding in hot water - add bleach - and dry them in a HOT dryer.
· WASHING HANDS OFTEN by scrubbing briskly for 15 seconds or more and dry them with a disposable towel (use another towel to turn off the faucet). Carry hand sanitizer with at least 62 percent alcohol for times when you don't have access to soap and water.
· TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF and eating a balanced diet and getting proper rest and plenty of exercise (and de-stressing); Low resistance can equal lessen immunity to flu and other “bugs”.
· BEING AWARE AND CAUTIOUS if you have a skin infection that requires treatment, SEE YOUR DOCTOR and ask him/her if you should be tested for MRSA.

JOY'S TIP OF THE MONTH - Insomnia
Do you have problems sleeping?
Chamomile tea is a non-habit forming natural remedy for insomnia. Problem is, we don't make it strong enough! Just one tea bag is like drinking flavored water. Use three tea bags per cup and let them steep for five to seven minutes, to medicinal strength. Also, try these options:
Avoid all caffeine after 2PM
Don't drink any alcohol within two hours of bedtime
A carbohydrate-rich snack before bed should help you get a good night's rest.

A Fact About Fiber
Most people think that fiber is a laxative, because many fiber products are advertised as aiding in the restoration of normal bowel regularity. The truth is that fiber is not a stimulant laxative; rather it is a type of
carbohydrate that passes through your body un-digested. In its transit through your gastrointestinal tract, it provides additional bulk, which gives the muscles of your GI system something to push against. It is this
rolling or pushing motion, called peristalsis, that facilitates elimination through the colon.
Many people ask, will I go to the toilet all day long? The answer is no. But most people find that they restore their elimination
to one to three healthy bowel movements per day, which is best for optimum health.
