HIGHLIGHTS:
Avoid wearing sandals to help prevent plantar fasciitis. Wearing sandals while walking
is a major cause of plantar fasciitis due to the over-usage of the tendons on the bottom of
feet. So, if you plan to walk for a longer distance, especially on an uneven road, walking
shoes are recommended. At the very least, you should wear a pair of shoes with backs on
it to prevent the foot pain. If you are suffering from foot pain, please call me to get help.
SEASONAL HEALTH NOTES:
We have had a colder spring and summer so far except a couple of weird days. It is still
more rainy and humid than usual. Please follow the weather report carefully in order to
dress properly. Many common cold, flu, and sinus issues start with dressing improperly
for the weather.
If you like jogging or walking outside, you may want to bring a light jacket in case it gets
cold quickly. Wearing this jacket around your waist can also prevent back stiffness by
keeping cold air from cooling the accumulated moisture on your skin.
Sunshine is beautiful, but it can hurt you through over-exposure, and it can increase the
chance of getting cataracts. So, in order to help your Vitamin D deficiency while not hurting
yourself, you should:
1. Stay out of direct sunshine between 9:30am to 5:30pm or wear cotton or linen long
sleeve shirts or pans.
2. Wear sun glasses when you are outside.

cannot digest carbohydrates.
Ingredients:
2 lettuce leaves, 1 cooked chicken breast sliced, or other cooked meat, other raw or
cooked sliced vegetables as desired, and some dressing.

either steam them or microwave them for 1 minute to make them cooked

roll it up. Done:)
