Stretching Into the Holidays…

Every 5,000 miles, like clockwork, you take your car to get its oil changed and tires rotated. It’s basic, routine maintenance, but that consistent attention and upkeep is vital for your vehicle to run e ciently, especially over a number of years. Your body, much like your vehicle, requires regular care and treatment to keep it healthy. And, again like your automobile, your body needs support from someone other than yourself, a professional who can guide it to achieving its utmost abilities and to retaining its peak performance.

Getting older, playing sports, or having a condition like sciatica or arthritis shouldn’t hold you back from living your life! You can feel like your younger self again, the one who didn’t feel any aches or pains when walking, running, jumping, or even sitting… all you have to do is visit Stretch Zone.

Drew Brees, former quarterback of the New Orleans Saints, is the newest partner at Stretch Zone who advocates for people to regularly get stretched. A er personally going to Stretch Zone for an assisted stretching session, Drew was impressed with the uniquely e ective and nationally accredited Stretch Zone Method®, which is administered by a highly-trained and Stretch Zone-certi ed stretch practitioner.

Here’s How It Works:

1.) Your rst session begins with lling out an intake form and having a consultation with your experienced and knowledgeable stretch practitioner. Based on your medical background and your personal goals, the stretch practitioner will personalize the ensuing 30-minute assisted stretching session to meet your individual needs. On subsequent visits, you’ll simply do a check-in with the practitioner to update your medical pro le with any recent changes and/or any new pain or discomfort that you might be experiencing.

By Gabby Gregory

2.) e stretch practitioner initiates the rst steps of the approved Stretch Zone Method®, utilizing Stretch Zone’s special patented straps to encourage your body to relax and ease into the stretches. You won’t nd these straps anywhere else! Comparable to a thunder jacket for your pets, they are meant to calm your mind so that your entire body is perfectly loose, thus allowing the stretch practitioner to stretch your body to its full potential and, as a result, provide you with both preventative maintenance and pain relief.

3.) Assisted stretching (a/k/a passive stretching) is di erent from physical therapy in that your body is being stretched by someone else; thus, you’re not actually doing any work. roughout your 30-minute session, the stretch practitioner will be steadily interacting one-on-one with you, ensuring that you are completely comfortable and not experiencing any pain. Ultimately, you are in control of the stretch, even as your practitioner guides your body through each and every step, because you tell the practitioner when you feel your best stretching position. e more you communicate, the better results you’re going to get!

Take advantage of Stretch Zone’s incredible FREE 30 Minute Stretch Session! Anybody and everybody can and should be stretched.

In fact, one Stretch Practitioner I spoke with at Stretch Zone says, “98% of the people I see in front of me really need to be stretched. is is something you should not live without.”

Remember, it’s just like getting your oil changed! Plus, celebrities and professional athletes have been getting stretched for years, so it’s time for the general population to be clued into the secret!

Get your FREE 30 minute stretch for yourself or do it for a friend or loved one… what better way to say you care than to give the gi of making life easier, of feeling healthier, lighter, and younger, and of feeling like yourself again?

For What It’s Worth

Anybody freaked out about a category one hurricane besides me? I took the entire thing in stride, until a erward, when I realized the power of water! My backyard was full of river mud, seaweed, other people’s dock planks, and just general mess. I was lucky. e neighbor to my le had two feet of water under his house, where he has outdoor furniture, man-cave stu , and storage. He also had the entire river breach his pool and knock out his pool pump. I was right where he is now, during Frances and Jean, in 2004, 2005, and believe me, it wasn’t pretty! e neighbor on my other side, whose dock planks were about twenty years old, lost many of them, some to the river, some to my backyard. His neighbor also had her pool breached with river mud, and lost her pool pump. I can’t say how anyone else did, but I heard plenty of stories of broken docks and unmoored boats.

My point is this. Until now, I paid attention to the actual number of the storm, if it was a Category 1, I barely paid attention, a Cat 2 or 3, minimal concern, maybe some supplies, nothing drastic. I really became concerned if it was a Cat 4 and I hightailed out of town for a Cat 5. ose were the old days, ose were the old rules. Today we’re in an entirely new normal, and not a good one. e numbers no longer tell the story. Storm surge is now on the top of my list

by Dr. Melfi, Ph.D.

of worries, where it will remain forever more. My street, the main road, and many other streets were under water. I can now understand why they tell you to never drive through deep water, because it can carry a car away, or submerge it. I thought that was an old wives tale, something that got hyped up on the news, to scare people. Nope. It’s real life, and the truth. e only good news, if there is any, for this minimal hurricane, is that it did not carry the lightening and thunder that most hurricanes do. I am not ashamed to admit, nothing scares me more than lightening.

I am originally from up north. From what I remember, which is at least 49 years ago, we never got these downpours that can completely derail travel. We also certainly never had to fear being killed by lightening, because it was not the cloud to ground lightening that we experience here in Florida. Maybe that’s all changed, maybe not. But I can tell you one thing, there is a price to pay for the paradise that we live in, and that price is steep. In a moment’s notice, we can lose property, homes, and even life. ose of us who choose to live here, either by desire or by default, really have to start paying attention to what Mother Nature is telling us. Ultimately, we are ghting a battle that many of us were not prepared for. My thoughts are these. We should stock up our cabinets as if we are going to lose power, for

days. If we do not use our canned goods, we can donate them right around this time of the year to those less fortunate, and be done with it. If we are able to a ord hurricane windows and doors, we should not put o getting them. If we cannot a ord them, plywood or metal shutters are the next best thing. A generator is the candle on top of the cake. If you have the money, it is a great investment.

We also have to think about our pets, our elderly, our in rm, and help out. Regardless of how much you might dislike your neighbor, or the political di erences you have with friends, this is not the time to be emotionally sel sh.

For What it’s Worth , it is up to every one of us to take people in, feed them, shelter them, and check on them afterward. If we are this side of luck, count your blessings. If we are on the other side of luck, hope that someone will care.I will. Will you?

SYNTHETIC GRASS

Not all roofs are made the same! If you need to install a new roof, then you should know what options are available to you. After all, how else can you make the best, most informed decision?

Thankfully, JB Roo ng is here to explain… what’s in a roof:

SHINGLE ROOFS

Light and exible, yet durable, asphalt shingles adapt to either standard or unconventional roof angles. They come in a variety of styles and colors, so you can easily nd the perfect t for your unique taste. Additionally, asphalt shingles roofs are among the most affordable options for not only a total roof replacement, but also for roof repairs. In the event that a shingle blows or breaks off your roof, then you can just replace that speci c shingle versus a large section or the entire surface area.

METAL ROOFS

• 5-V CRIMP METAL

One of the most popular options, 5-V Crimp Metal Roofs are generally the most affordable among metal roo ng systems. They are energy-ef cient, long-lasting, and durable. Furthermore, 5-V crimp metal panels are available in a range of colors.

• STANDING SEAM METAL

Ultra-reliable, standing seam metal roofs promise incredible longevity. The design protects the roof’s metal fasteners from harmful and destructive UV rays, wind, rain, and hail, so these roofs often last for at least 50 years. Standing seam metal roofs also boast a more modern look for your home.

• STONE-COATED METAL PANEL

Rust-proof, re-resistant, and durable, stone-coated metal panel roofs will last for a long time and require little maintenance. They are also corrosionresistant, watertight, and heat-resistant. Finally, stone-coated metal panels will increase the value of a property.

TILE ROOFS

Weather-resistant tile roo ng can handle high winds, re, heavy rain, and hail. They can also reduce some of the heat from the sun, thus lowering your air conditioning costs. Finally, tile roofs are immune from insect destruction, as they are pest-resistant.

We will NEVER ask you to sign over your insurance claim! We will help with your claim, if needed. But you retain control.
