And it doesn’t have anything to do with preventing the flu.
While we’re still very much navigating the COVID pandemic, we’re also about to enter flu season — and experts are predicting that it may be more intense than the last few years.

A new study found an added health benefit of the flu vaccine that everyone should take advantage of. |

Got a spare minute? Use it to change your life. Our “A Minute And Change” series will help you become happier, healthier and more productive by doing one thing a little differently. This week’s tip comes from Erin Kloosterman, head of sports science at Sports Performance Labs, on the simple form of exercise that can help make you stronger:
Bodyweight exercises make you focus more on the movement pattern rather than moving a load placed on you. This also helps create neuromuscular connections in the body. The brain tells the body to move, and it does so by recruiting muscle fibers to perform the movement. The more frequently you do these exercises, the more memory those muscle fibers get, helping to perfect your form and prevent injury when and if you decide to start strength training with weights. |
