Less Digestive Work
When you drink juice, you save your body energy because it does not use as much energy for digestion. This also helps maintain your supply of digestive enzymes because you do not use as many.

Hydration
We need liquids to remain healthy, and juicing is a good source of liquids. It is estimated that more than 50% of people are chronically under-hydrated–that is, they consume less than the recommended 5-6 glasses of non-caffeinated, unsweetened beverages needed daily. Staying hydrated makes the body function more efficiently, improves energy, and helps remove unwanted byproducts more easily.

Raking leaves is a perfect opportunity to get outside during the nice fall weather and get a little exercise.
Raking leaves is a moderate physical activity that can build upper-body and core strength.
Before you begin, a good warmup is in order. Raking uses nearly all the muscles in your body–arms, chest, shoulders, legs, and back.
Take a short walk about the yard, do a few arm circles, and stretch your legs and back.
Be sure to switch sides every now and again to prevent overuse injuries.
Don’t overfill the bags so that they become heavy to lift and move. Moving heavy bags can cause a strain on your back muscles.
If you’re stiff and sore after raking your leaves, a good neuromuscular massage may be just what you need before the next big wind leaves your yard full again.

Even though the temperatures are falling, you do not have to sweat profusely to become dehydrated.
Studies show that adults over the age of 50 are the most likely to become dehydrated because the ability to recognize thirst decreases, many older adults take diuretics to control blood pressure, and some people who suffer bladder control problems drink less than they should.
You know you’re not drinking enough if you suffer muscle cramps with physical activity. Adding a sports drink with sodium will help.
Suspect you’re not drinking enough if you experience altered mood, impaired memory or headaches.
The old rule still holds true, eight 8-oz glasses of water a day is where you start. You may need more if you’re physically active.

While lower back pain is the number one complaint to massage and physical therapists, upper back pain can be equally aggravating. Many describe the feeling they have in their upper backs like having a brick between their shoulder blades.
This is because the muscles surrounding the spine in that area have become so tight that even crossing the arms over the chest can be painful.
Massage will target the small muscles surrounding the spine first, and then address the larger muscles out toward the shoulder blades to get rid of the brick, relieve pain and restore range of motion.
