Feeling exhausted?
It may “life”, but…are you getting enough iron?
Iron may help manage unexplained fatigue, which can affect both men and women. Even in someone who isn’t anemic, low iron can still reduce energy levels. This is especially common in women until after menopause.
Fatigue from iron deficiency involves more than just a normal level of sleepiness. It causes tiredness that interferes with a person’s daily routine, and activities may feel exhausting and less enjoyable.People with low iron may experience fatigue lasting several weeks or longer.
Iron-rich foods and supplements can help raise iron levels and eliminate feelings of tiredness and exhaustion. Cooking on cast iron can also add to increased dietary intake, too!

Are you stretching properly?
Flexibility training should be performed after a proper warm-up to allow effective stretching to take place. NEVER STRETCH COLD. Ideally, flexibility fitness should be performed 5 to 7 days a week for all major joints. Stretch to the point of mild discomfort, but not pain. Hold static stretches for 20 to 30 seconds, making sure to take deep even breaths. Static stretching should be performed after the workout. Dynamic stretching is a better way to prepare your muscles for a higher intensity workout.

Feeling younger may just be a matter of increasing your mobility and flexibility!
Flexible joints, muscles, and movements are vital for pain-free and independent movement. Proper flexibility helps us complete everyday activities like getting out of a chair, gardening, or cleaning the house. If flexibility is neglected, joint range of motion will deteriorate, especially with age. Engaging in regular flexibility training can improve joint mobility, improve posture, decrease back pain, and lower the risk of injury.
