Walk Talk
Warm up now
Warm up before you start your walk. It will lower chances of injury and maximise health benefits. It helps increase the heart effectively and delivers the nutrients to the muscles faster. This makes the muscles supple and geared up for exercise. To warm up, walk at medium pace for the first 5 minutes and stretch the lower back by bending forward and backward. If you sweat a little, it means that you have had a good warm up!
Sleep Better
For a good night’s sleep make sure there is no source of bright light near your bed. When you wake up, immediately draw apart the curtains, let the light on and start your day on a bright note!
Good Ideas
3 ways to keep your drinking water safe
1. If you boil water vigorously for about 5 minutes it kills most germs. It might taste flat so you can improve the taste by pouring it from one clean container to another.
2. Water can be chemically treated by adding chlorine and iodine tablets to make it safe. However, ensure that tablets are added in the correct proportion.
3. Leaving clear water under the bright, hot sun for at least 8 hours kills germs. But it’s safer and more effective to try boiling.
