Summer safety: 4 Tips
- 1. TIP: To avoid injury, stretch your hamstrings, upper body, and sides just as you would with any other workout. Sneakiest Source of Muscle Strain: Gardening
- 2. Craziest way to get sick: Burrowing at the beach
- 3. Simplest Fire Preventer: A tape measure
- 4. Most dangerous holiday for a road trip: 4th of July
Editor's Notes
- These 4 summer safety tips come courtesy of the latest issue of Better Homes and Gardens. “Gardening involved a lot of bending, twisting, lifting, and pulling, and yet most of us don’t think of it as an exercise,” says Holly Perkins, a certified strength and conditioning specialist in Los Angeles.
- In a Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill survey of 27,000 beachgoers, those who used their hands to dig holes and build sand castles were 13 percent more likely to develop gastroenteritis (stomach flu) than folks who merely walked on the beach and swam. Sand is a hotbed for E. Coli, and other bacteria from wildlife and pets, and those germs transfer easily from hands to mouth, says study author Christopher D. Heaney.
- Objects such as deck railings, low hanging branches, and stacks of paper plates are a leading cause of barbecue related fires, Says Judy Comoletti, Director of public education at the National Fire Protection Association.
- Car accidents spike on Independence Day, in part because snarled getaway traffic stokes aggressive driving. Keep your cool by allowing extra time for your trip.
