July’s Health Tips

Posted on July 5, 2022 by ephc-admin in announcements
  • Celebrate your Independence by staying healthy. Use insect repellant and sunscreen to prevent painful and itchy skin.
  • Summer is well under way and fresh fruits and vegetables are in season. Be sure to wash all fresh produce before you eat it.
  • Tick bites can be a real pain! When you come in each day, check your entire body head to toe for those 6-legged creepy crawlers. Don’t forget to use tick repellant and protective clothing when working or playing in wooded areas or fields.
  • Avoid heat injuries when working or playing in hot weather. Drink cool fluids (at least 8 oz every hour) alternating between water and sports drinks.  Avoid caffeine and alcoholic beverages.

June’s Health Tips

  • June 11th is Family Health and Fitness Day. Enjoy the great outdoors! Go for a hike, swim, or bike ride.  All are great ways to get exercise, and help reduce stress.
  • June is Cataract Awareness Month. Protecting your eyes from sun is as important as your skin.  Sunglasses are the best fashion accessory for the summer!
  • June is Men’s Health Month. The number one cause of death in men is heart disease.  To lower your risk of heart disease: 1. control your blood pressure – check it regularly (at least once a month), 2. keep your cholesterol under control – know your numbers, 3. stay at a healthy weight, 4. Eat a diet low in fats, high in vegetables and whole grains, 5. aim for 150 minutes of moderately vigorous activity each week, 6. get enough sleep – try for 7-9 hours of sleep each night.

May’s Health Tips

Posted on May 2, 2022 by ephc-admin in announcements
  • May 5th is WORLD HAND HYGIENE DAY. Frogs are thought to cause warts on your hands, but always think of a FROG when you wash your hands – Friction Rubs Off Germs !!!
  • May is MENTAL HEALTH MONTH. Take time each day for yourself. You cannot take care of others if you don’t take care of yourself first!
  • May is SKIN CANCER PREVENTION AND AWARENESS MONTH and May 21st is DON’T FRY DAY. So don’t be a fry baby! Use sunscreen every day – rain or shine. Don’t forget to reapply it frequently throughout daylight hours.
  • May is NATIONAL PHYSICAL FITNESS AND SPORTS MONTH. Be sure to check all your sports equipment before each use whether practice, game, or competition. You can’t stay fit if your equipment is worn, torn, or doesn’t fit!
  • May 31st is WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY. If you use tobacco products try cutting back. Regardless if you smoke 2 packs, 1 pack, or a half a pack – Just one less cigarette a day for a year is over 18 packs of cigarettes you will buy that year and nearly 2.2 MILLION fewer chemicals you will inhale!
