Did you know the month of May is designated National
Physical Fitness and Sports Month? After all, there isn’t a better time to
celebrate physical activity as when the warm weather and sunshine makes its way
back into our lives!
Now that the flowers are in bloom and the weather has warmed
up, it’s easier to go outside and soak up the sun. After spending the winter
working out in gyms or doing crunches at home, exercising outdoors can be a lot
more enjoyable as well. Whether you enjoy hikes, jogging, or biking, spring
gives us a chance to smell the grass, take in the rays, and enjoy the blue
sky—all senses that we just can’t duplicate at the gym.
If jogging or biking isn’t your cup of tea, we encourage you
to try a sport! Sports have some amazing qualities that we often overlook. Team
sports like baseball and soccer, and individual sports like golf and tennis can
improve your coordination and agility, in addition to building determination,
confidence, drive, hard-work, pride, leadership, and time management.
At Parkside Family Dentistry, we always encourage our
patients to stay fit by exercising or participating in sports. However, we want
to remind you to always wear a mouthguard or other form of facial protection
when playing sports. To learn more about how often your child should exercise,
or to ask us about obtaining a mouthguard, please give us a call!
