SNOW TIRES FOR YOUR FEET

I have discovered a great item called Stabilicers that makes walking on snow and ice much safer and easier. These shoe attachments strap over normal footwear and provide excellent traction. Unlike other similar products, the sole is completely solid with no openings to catch on objects that can cause trips and falls. Replacement metal cleats are available to extend the life of this heavy duty product.

Apparently EMT's, firefighters, police, and postal carriers use Stabilicers. I have subjected my pair to more than 3 years of extreme use and they are still going strong! Stabilicers can be purchased at www.32north.com.

BETTER FITNESS=LESS SICKNESS

A recent study shows that fitter people get less colds. Research participants who exercised more than 5 times a week aerobically ("cardio" activities) had 46% fewer colds than those at the opposite extreme who trained less than one time per week. Moreover, those who exercised the most had less severe cold symptoms and recovered sooner than the more sedentary individuals.

A session of aerobic exercise temporarily increases the activity of immune system cells that fend off viruses. The immune system returns to normal function shortly thereafter, which explains why more frequent exercise is most effective in preventing colds.

So, with regular exercise, you may be able to avoid illness, not to mention the costs of medical visits, medication, and missed time at work.
