Archive for February, 2008One of my favorite new health services is the quick workout now being offered at a lot of gyms. It is essentially a fifteen-minute “shock” that you can do to get your exercise for the day. It’s not only drinking and driving that is causing traffic collisions anymore. Now talking and driving is becoming increasingly dangerous. The rising cost of college threatens to put higher education out of reach for most students. Want to know where traffic is congested so you can avoid it? The best way, besides calling highway information, is to Google it! Google Maps offers a look at real-time traffic and tells you how you can bypass it to get where you want to go in less time. How dangerous is your child’s playground? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 200,000 children younger than 15 years of age are injured on the playground every year, and almost half of those injuries are very serious. Trampolines are incredibly fun for most children and adults. They send you flying up in the air again and again and can be a great form of exercise. However, there is no end to the injuries they can cause, especially when used improperly. As if moving isn’t already stressful enough, it can result in many painful and serious injuries as well.

One hundred and forty three million pounds of beef was put on hold at the end of January as the U.S. Department of Agriculture decided what to do about it. In the end, they recalled it. That’s not before countless numbers of Americans were already exposed to the potentially harmful meat, however, in the form of hamburgers, sloppy joes and school lunches. |
