Benefits of Drinking Water

Getting enough water every day is important for health.
Drinking water can prevent dehydration, which may cause unclear thinking, mood change, overheating, constipation, and kidney stones. Water has no calories, so replacing sugary drinks with plain water can help reduce caloric intake.

Water helps your body:
*Keep a normal temperature.
*Lubricate and cushion joints.
*Protect your spinal cord and other sensitive tissues.
*Get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements.

About 9,680 children in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer in 2026.

85% of children with cancer now survive 5 years or more. Overall, this is a huge improvement since the mid-1970s, when the 5-year survival rate was only about 58%. Still, survival rates depend on the type of cancer and other factors. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee is a large part of that success.
Their success depends on our donations. St. Jude Runs from Memphis to Peoria begin July 29th. They will run through Assumption on July 31st around midnight. Please consider donating to St. Jude Runs through our very own Katy McLain's run using the link below!

The Importance of Stretching

Whether you’re working out or working at a desk,
stretching is a great way to decrease stiffness and
avoid injury. Keep these tips in mind:

Stretching While Exercising

• Make certain to stretch for 5-10 minutes
both before and after you exercise
• Do gentle pre-workout stretches to warm
up muscles and increase flexibility
• Static stretches (held for 30-60 seconds)
are most helpful after a workout
• Consider doing 30-60 minutes of yoga one
or two times a week to maintain strength
and increase flexibility
• Talk to your doctor before beginning any
new exercise routine

Stretching at Work

• When working at a desk, pause once every
hour for a few minutes of stretching
• Stretches that ease tension your shoulders,
neck, and back will help to decrease
stiffness and maintain range of motion
• If your work involves lifting or other physical
activity, it is important to stretch both before
and after your shift and during your breaks
(just as when exercising)

Taking frequent breaks in shaded or cool areas
Gradually acclimating to hot environments

As the temperatures rise, hydration is always stressed. The truth is, hydration is important every single day. It is a cornerstone of wellness, influencing cellular health, brain function, cardiovascular performance and overall energy. Maintaining proper hydration isn't just about quenching thirst--it's about supporting the body's complex systems to function properly. 💧

I just scheduled my Heart Scan! You can schedule yours today at any Illinois HSHS location by calling 217-757-6565. No doctor's order is needed and insurance is not accepted. It's $100 at the time of the test. What is it? It is a 15-minute CT scan to measure the presence, location, and amount of calcium in your heart. This tells your risk of heart attack. A simple test to help make sure you are around for those who love you and depend on you! ❤️
