How To Clean And Sanitize A Backpack Backpacks are useful tools for students and adults alike. From hiking supplies to school books to sports equipment, backpacks can store just about anything. As veritable workhorses, they’re bound to get dirty and can benefit from periodic cleaning.

While it may be tempting to simply throw a backpack into the washing machine, it is important to check the care instructions first.

Some canvas, nylon and fabric backpacks can go in the wash, but those made of leather or those with intricate details should not. Backpack manufacturers also advise against putting backpacks in a dryer.

Here are steps to cleaning a backpack.

1. To get started, begin by removing any items from the backpack, including all of the pockets. If necessary, use a vacuum to get crumbs out of the backpack.

2. Check the care label to see if there are washing instructions. This will determine if you should wash it by hand or if it can be put in the machine.

3. If the bag can be machine-washed, turn it inside out first or place it in a pillowcase so that the straps and zippers will not be caught. Then wash it on a gentle setting with a mild detergent and lukewarm water. If the bag should be hand-washed, use lukewarm water and a soft sponge or a gentle bristle brush.

The outdoor retailer REI says you do not want to harm any protective coatings on the pack.

4. Zippers need occasional cleaning to remove dirt, sand or crumbs. Many zippers have water-resistant coatings so do not scrub them. Use a lubricant made for zippers to help them slide smoothly.

5. Hang the bag to air dry upside down. It likely will dry more quickly outdoors, but avoid direct sunlight, which can compromise the integrity of the fabric or discolor the backpack.

6. Do not store or use the backpack until it is completely dry.

7. Sometimes a backpack may need to be disinfected to prevent the growth of fungus or bacteria. Athlete’s foot fungus can easily transfer from socks and shoes to the backpack if gym clothes are left in the bag. The Spruce says to skip chlorine bleach and use a pine oil or phenolic disinfectant or a disinfectant wipe, such as Pine Sol or Spic-n-Span. Lysol brand disinfectant also can be used and is available in liquid formula or spray.

If a backpack is waterproof, only wash it once or twice per year; otherwise, you may reduce the pack’s ability to repel water. Use cleansing wipes to spot clean when necessary.

Backpacks can get grimy quickly.

Routine washing can freshen them right up.

The Benefits Of A New Approach To Learning For Students

Virtual Meditation Workshops The lectures consist of instructions on how to meditate, a short meditation sitting and questions and answers.

There is a never a charge for any of these workshops.

These programs take place at various libraries in different parts of the country. Please call the library for information.

Dr. Andrew Vidich NY Thursday August 20th @ 7:00pm,“Meditation: Finding Joy in Perilous Times” Dr. Andrew Vidich Deer Park Library – 44 Lake Avenue, Deer Park, NY 11729, 631-586-3000,

one-on-one interaction that can be vital for students’ academic success, there are many different reasons why virtual instruction can be a key component of learning models as well.

When virtual learning is used in conjunction with traditional teaching, students may have a more well-rounded experience.

Here are some potential benefits that may unfold as more data is collected.

• Pace: Virtual learning affords students the chance to work on lessons at a pace that fits their individual needs.

Students can go back and re-read or re-work problems until they’re satisfied they have learned their lesson. Lessons can be slowed down or sped up depending on proficiency, creating a customized educational experience.

• No more weather days: Many school districts include snow or extreme weather days into their calendars, adding on extra days at the end of school year to meet the specified number of educational days. Remote

learning can take over in these times and keep school districts from having to pad calendars.

• Convenience: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that middle and high schools start at 8:30 a.m. or later to provide students the best chance to get the amount of sleep they need. Still, most adolescents currently start school before 8:30 a.m. Remote learning enables students to complete their assignments when it works best for them. This may help them get more sleep, too.

• Apps: Learning apps are a new wave of educational tools that have helped buoy virtual instruction.

Primary school students or those with individual education plans may benefit the most from reinforced app skills that match their learning pace in fun ways.

Virtual home instruction may become a large part of the educational landscape even after it’s no longer a social distancing necessity.

The validity of the adage “necessity is the mother of invention” was on full display during the COVID-19 outbreak.

People quickly had to learn to adapt to a new way of life, including an educational system that was transformed dramatically by social distancing guidelines.

More than 76 million students are enrolled in United States schools, per the latest Census Bureau information.

In 2018, 2.12 million students were in Canadian postsecondary institutions alone. In a matter of days, millions of students who once attended classes inperson were forced to transition to virtual learning instruction. The process showed just how flexible learning systems can be, and how virtual instruction may become more than an emergency protocol in the future.

Schools utilized systems like Google Classroom, Canvas and virtual meeting apps to connect and learn. While inclass lessons provide the socialization and

This August I have been “taking a look back” at articles I have published in the past, giving various charities another chance at exposure. During these tough times, it is very important we continue to help others and support local charities where we can. Enjoy this past article about a wonderful non-profit, New Ground.

New Ground is a non-profit organization that helps to break the cycle of homelessness right here in Nassau and Suffolk counties.

This organization began all from the vision of an educator that was committed to providing a safe haven for those living in poverty. This educator saw that shelters were only providing a short-term fix to a problem that needed a real, lasting solution.

After envisioning an organization that provided a holistic suite of support services while empowering participants to help themselves, she founded New Ground in 1991 to do just that.

New Ground, based in Levittown, offers Veterans and families the following main programs to truly help them conquer homelessness: their Long Term Housing Program, their JumpStart Program and their Veterans Program. Their services include Adult Workshops, Career Development, Education Advocacy, Education Assistance, Financial Literacy, Reading All-Stars, Special Memories and Tutoring.

Their Long Term Housing Program combines affordable housing with New Ground’s intensive services. Currently this includes a home in Huntington with two homeless Veteran families, a home in Bethpage under renovations and plans to add more housing units. For 3-5 years, New Ground provides all the needed educational, vocational and counseling services to the family members living in this housing, as well as basic needs and general support.

Residents also take time with a social worker and put together a plan of how they can reach their goals. All residents pay an affordable rent and although New Ground assists them with various costs and hurdles they may face, they truly get the feeling of being a responsible homeowner.

additional homeless families on their waitlist for the Long Term Housing Program. This Program is open to any homeless families, not just Veterans, and is intended to give families a jump-start on accomplishing their goals. When these families later transition into the Long Term Housing Program, they are well on their way toward realizing the steps needed to secure an independent future.

A primary social worker is assigned to all families in both of these programs once they start with the organization. New Ground social workers provide guidance, resources and assistance to the families in various areas.

The New Ground Veterans Program is another very important part to their organization. Homeless Veterans can get placed in reduced cost housing and be provided with intensive social work and education services by New Ground to assist them with achieving goals in the areas of employment, financial literacy, education, career development, parenting, basic life skills, education advocacy and more. In 2016 their services were expanded so they can serve an even greater number of Veteran households. Through collaboration with the Northport VA Center, New Ground began offering their programs to over 400 homeless Veteran households in their Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing Program.

Since opening their doors, New Ground has seen over 80% of the families they have served “graduate” from their programs self sufficient and into permanent stable housing. New Ground empowers children, parents and Veterans to achieve their goals so that they can secure a brighter future for generations to come!

New Ground is a huge help to the homeless community on Long Island and is there for those in need. If you would like to inquire about assistance from this organization, please call their office at 516.564.4764 or email Diane Serenita, their Director of Development and Events, at dserenita@ newground.org.

New Ground’s JumpStart Program launched in 2012 to expand these critical services to

How College Students Can Confront Returning To Campus The world’s response to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus left no aspect of life untouched.

People from all walks of life had to make sacrifices to prevent the spread of the potentially deadly virus, and college students were no exception.

Many colleges and universities abruptly canceled in-person classes in mid-March 2020, forcing students to finish their coursework via remote learning. That response had a significant impact on the 201920 school year, and the virus figures to affect the upcoming school year just as much. In fact, many colleges and universities are beginning the coming school year early in the hopes that students can continue their educations on campus but be safely back home by late November, when many scientists are anticipating a second wave of COVID-19 infections will arrive.

Schools that are reopening this summer insist that it is safe to do so, and have even indicated their intentions to implement new practices to ensure their campuses are safe and healthy environments in which to learn. For example, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is reconfiguring inperson course instruction to include physical distancing provisions.

Small classes will meet in larger spaces, while lectures may be delivered remotely.

Despite such measures, some students may still be hesitant to return to campus at a time when so much about the COVID-19 virus remains a mystery. The following are some ways students

can confront any nervous feelings they may have about returning to campus for a new school year.

•Determine your options.

While many colleges and universities are returning to campus, some may be allowing students to learn remotely. For instance, students with preexisting conditions that make them vulnerable to COVID-19 may be allowed to continue learning from home.

Many schools’ roadmaps to returning are fluid, so students concerned about returning to campus likely have options that do not require them to sit out the semester.

• Learn about residential life. Many college students live in dorms that feature double or even triple occupancy rooms. Such an environment will compromise students’ ability to practice social distancing. Some schools, including Binghamton University in New York, are converting triple occupancy rooms into double occupancy.

Both Binghamton and UNC Chapel Hill

also are designating one residential hall as temporary housing for students who test positive for COVID-19. In addition, some schools may be designating certain residential facilities for at-risk students. Students who want to avoid the dorms should inquire about off-campus, singleperson housing.

• Ask about testing.

Students have a right to know about COVID-19 testing protocols and should not hesitate to ask what those protocols will be. Due to the fluid nature of schools’ roadmaps to return, testing policies may not yet be set in stone, and are likely to evolve as the school year progresses.

Students should look into the testing policy specifics and ask if they have any recourse if they feel the testing policy is inadequate.

Students who are hesitant to return to campus this summer or fall can do their due diligence to determine if they’re comfortable going back to campus.

St. Jude Walk/Run On Long Island Transforms To Virtual Event Event To Benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

In celebration of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, supporters of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® from across the country, including the Long Island community, will be participating in the virtual St. Jude Walk/Run September 26th.

This year participants can walk, run and fundraise at their own pace and distance in their own neighborhoods. In addition, the St. Jude Walk/ Run mobile app, is available

in the Apple app store and on Google Play, to provide a unique experience to participants that includes a virtual tour of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and some engagement opportunities using augmented reality.

Funds raised through events like this help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

Treatments invented

at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened nearly 60 years ago. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, so every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.

How To Find A Tutor For Your Child

Tutors provide an invaluable service to students across the globe. Students at all grade levels utilize tutors, and the results such tutors produce may surprise even the most ardent tutor supporters.

A 2009 study from researchers at the Chabot College Office of Institutional Research found that tutored students had higher pass rates on average than non-tutored students in every class examined. Those classes included anatomy, biology, business, and chemistry. In addition, one study published in the American Journal of Physics found that human tutoring can result in classroom test scores that are 35 percent higher than software-driven tutoring.

Such results have understandably made many parents true believers in the power of tutoring. Parents who want their children to work with tutors but don’t know where to find one can try these strategies.

• Contact your child’s school. Many schools offer free tutoring programs, and such programs can provide the one-on-one attention students need to understand their lessons. Afterschool tutoring programs offered by schools also may provide curriculumspecific tutoring that aligns directly with what students are being taught in the classroom. Schools also may have information about local private tutors and tutoring firms, so parents should

not hesitate to contact their children’s school.

• Ask around. Fellow parents can be great resources when looking for tutors. Other parents can share their own experiences working with certain tutors, and may be able to point you in the direction of tutors who specialize in certain areas, such as mathematics or the sciences.

• Contact local community organizations. Local community organizations such as the YMCA also may offer free or low-cost tutoring programs to members or even nonmembers. Parents are urged to consider these programs, as they may be staffed by local college students, including undergraduates and postgraduates. When speaking with local organizations, ask how they choose their tutors and inquire about the educational backgrounds of those tutors.

• Consider online tutoring services.

Online tutoring services are another option, and one that can be especially valuable for families that live in remote or rural areas where in-person access to tutors may be hard to find. Search the internet for online tutoring services, making sure to read reviews and even request testimonials from past clients before signing up.

Parents have numerous resources at their disposal that can help them find tutors for their children.

Congratulations to Connetquot Class of 2020

SUFFOLK ZONE 5 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 19, 2020 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

On July 22 and 23, Connetquot High School honored its graduating class with two outdoor, “drivethrough” commencement ceremonies on school grounds. In accordance with statewide social distancing guidelines, groups of just 15 students graduated at a time and proud family members

exited their vehicles to watch them receive their diplomas. The grounds were adorned in school colors and, thanks to the Bohemia, West Sayville and Lakeland fire departments, an oversized American flag suspended on two fire truck cranes was the backdrop for the ceremonies.

Both days’ events were also broadcasted live via

simulcast on radio station 90.5 FM, as well as on Youtube. The Connetquot Central School District is immensely proud of its Class of 2020 and congratulates them for a job well done, wishing them much happiness and success in their future endeavors.

11th Annual Over 50 Fair Will Be A Virtual Charity Conference The annual Over 50 Fair, in its 11th year, will be a virtual charity conference benefitting The INN (Interfaith Nutrition Network). Usually the Over 50 Fair takes place at an area hotel and has attendance of 500-700 who enjoy its 30 exceptional classes, singles lounge, senior beauty queens, and more. Because of COVID-19, this year’s

event can be enjoyed by computer or phone on September 12 and 13 from 12-4 each day.

10 local speakers, some of whom are experts in their field, will be sharing information about a variety of topics of interest to Baby Boomers and seniors, including long term care insurance, a comedy show, Microsoft training, reverse mortgages, and cleaning

without chemicals.

The Over 50 Fair is the brainchild of East Hills resident Barbara Kaplan, who also coordinates the hugely successful All Kids Fair each year. She said that the Over 50 Fair is always “Overflowing with Opportunities for Age 50+,” although this year is a bit scaled down due to being virtual.

The exciting weekend-

long 2020 Over 50 Fair will be a fundraiser for The INN, a local non-profit that helps provide assistance to the hungry, needy, and homeless right here on Long Island.

After the 2019 event, Cynthia Sucich of The INN shared “The Over 50 Fair is an AMAZING event that focuses on the various needs of those who are...

Over 50! The INN is so

honored to have been the chosen charity of the event for 8 years. This is one event you don’t want to miss!”

Sponsors for this year’s event include Fountaingate Gardens, Law Offices of Cohen & Jaffe, Blank Slate Media, 50 Plus LifeStyles, South Bay’s Neighbor, and 516Ads.com / 631Ads.com.

For information about the event and to

make a donation to The INN, please visit www.

Over50Fair.com and www.

Over50Fair.com/2020Event.

A minimum donation of $10 is requested but not required to view the conference.

A minimum donation of $40 is requested to be a Supporter of the Over 50 Fair. Supporters are listed at www.Over50Fair.com/ Supporters.

The Connetquot Public Library thanks you for allowing us to share this time with you and your families. We are delighted in seeing your faces through the many virtual programs offered by the library. The smiles, voices, and images resonate, reminding us that our journey continues. Amidst many hours of community service, our teens have reminded us of the quiet heroes who have made

a difference along this journey. From home and during these challenging times, teens have taken part in recognizing our local hometown heroes.

Teen librarian Angela Breslin has created many opportunities for Connetquot teens to give back to our community.

Their words echo a thankfulness expressed from the heart, for family, friends, neighbors, and all who make our community,

our world a safer and beautiful place.

“Like the commercial says, the USPS (United States Postal Service) delivers mail in a blizzard, torrential rain, heatwaves, and now during a pandemic. When everyone seems to panic, he can be relied on to the voice of reason.” Brooke Wexler recognized the role of postal employee Kevin Hagan. Bethany Ugenti also took the opportunity

to thank her neighborhood postal carrier. “You have been delivering every day, Monday through Saturday without skipping a beat!

Thank you for the time you take to make sure people get what they need.”

The sentiment resonated with teen Patrick Wright as he wrote about his local carrier, “I choose you because you are an important part of the community and you have been delivering my

13

Hometown Heroes family’s mail for many years.” Thank you for all you do.

Teen Tyler Ramacca took the time to thank those who work in our local establishments.

“Overnight you (Jonathan Flanagan) became known as an essential worker… you continue to unload trucks day after day... which allowed our community to get some of their needs met locally.”

He also took the time to

thank Megan McLoughlin.

“In addition to being an essential worker at a bakery. Megan is going to school to become a nurse. Megan will make an amazing nurse.”

Additionally, Tyler thanked supermarket employee, Nick Rizzuto, for his hard work. “I appreciate you and appreciate that you worked the front lines for our community.” Teens

Cyber Safety Is Important For Every Grade

People rely on the internet every day.

In recent months, reliance on digital technology was pushed even further as social distancing measures had the world going online for school and work and to maintain relationships with friends and family.

A 2018 report from Pew Research Center indicated that nearly 25 percent of young adults in America reported being online almost constantly.

Common Sense Media says teens spend an average of nine hours a day online, compared to roughly six hours for those between the ages eight and 12 and 50 minutes for kids younger than eight.

Students must exercise caution when spending time online. Connectivity can be empowering, but it also puts students at risk from others and even their own, sometimes irresponsible behaviors. Staying safe online should remain a priority for students who must spend more time on the internet and using digital education tools.

These are some tips for maintaining cyber safety.

• Exercise caution when sharing information like your name, address, phone number, and other personal data online. Check with a trusted parent or teacher before sharing private data.

• Report any online activity that makes you feel uncomfortable, scared or confused, whether it is directed at

you or a classmate.

• Think carefully before you post comments online. Data remains online indefinitely, and your words and actions today can greatly affect your future.

• Respect others online by refraining from demeaning or bullying comments.

• Do not try to get around firewalls and blocked websites set up by school administrators. These limitations are there for your protection.

• Stick to school-sanctioned assignments and internet browsing when using school-issued devices.

Administrators may have the right to monitor student activity without students’ knowledge and you can easily get yourself in trouble.

• It is easy to hide or fake one’s identity on the internet, so never take someone you meet or speak with online at face value. Never meet up with someone you do not know or only met online.

• Talk to your parents or educators about extortion and ransomware that tries to trick you into providing payment in some shape or form to prevent a perpetrator from releasing private information about you, advises the Readiness and Emergency for Schools Technical Assistance Center.

Various steps can be taken to promote cyber safety among students, parents and administrators.

Help For Low-Income Brookhaven Residents With COVID-19 Rental Arrears

Town of Brookhaven residents may be able to get help with their rental arrears – monies owed to their landlord for missed rent payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic – under a new program at the Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk, Inc. (EOC of Suffolk).

An $80,000 grant from the Town of Brookhaven is funding this EOC of Suffolk initiative to provide support to low-income Brookhaven households facing homelessness because of the effects of COVID-19.

The funds originate from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Emergency Solutions Grants program, which assists those at risk of

becoming homeless because of job loss, wage reduction, illness, or other hardships associated with COVID-19.

Applicants’ household income must not exceed 50 percent of the HUD area median income, which is $63,300 for a family of four.

To find out if you are eligible, contact Halim Kaygisiz, Director of Health Outreach Services, at 631241-2119 or hkaygisiz@ eoc-suffolk.com.

About the Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk, Inc. The Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk, Inc (EOC of Suffolk) is a not-forprofit 501(c)(3) minority community-based organization (CBO)

incorporated in the State of New York on May 5, 1967.

EOC of Suffolk is Suffolk County’s designated community action agency, recipient of the Federal Community Service Block Grant, which supports activities designed to assist low-income families and individuals receiving assistance under part A of Title IV of the Social Security Act. EOC of Suffolk promotes selfsufficiency by broadening the minds of children, revitalizing communities, and assisting families and children in need by providing services and coordinating a range of federal, state, local, and private resources.

Weakened Immune Systems People who have cancer often suffer from weakened immune systems, which can make it hard for their bodies to fight off disease.

That means it is essential for newly diagnosed cancer patients or those going through treatment to avoid others who are ill, such as those with influenza or even the common cold. Family

members also will need to take precautions to help protect their loved ones from contracting contagious diseases.

According to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, heightened risk for cancer patients has occurred in the wake of COVID-19. Cancer patients are urged to speak with their doctors regarding their

concerns about COVID-19.

Practicing good personal hygiene and embracing social distancing policies may help cancer patients avoid viruses, including COVID-19.

Cancer patients may want to ask others to do their food shopping and run errands for them to minimize their contact with potentially ill individuals.

Ga-68 DOTATOC for neuroendocrine tumor (NET) among others.

One of Dr. Love’s most notable participations is her close involvement with the clinical trial for Lu-177 DOTATATE therapy of progressing NET which has garnered her many invitations as a guest speaker in national and international medical symposia. More importantly, Dr. Love cochaired the establishment of ACR-ACNM-ASTROSNMMI practice parameters for Lu-177 DOTATATE therapy in the USA. Additionally, Dr. Love spearheaded the inclusion of a new imaging agent, F-18 Fluciclovine, at Montefiore Medical Center for imaging of patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer.

PUZZLE ANSWERS:

recognizing the role of their peers and how one person can truly make a difference. Thank you for all you do.

Teens have also had to readjust to the absence of a traditional classroom and all of the vital connections that encompass their educational experiences.

Still, they acknowledge the crucial role that teachers have played in their lives.

Senior Tyler Ramacca stated, “I just wanted to recognize all the teachers during this difficult time, but give a special shout out and thank you, Mrs. Andrea Pizzimenti, for all you do for Connetquot!”

He added, “Mrs. Fantry is a phenomenal teacher…I am not quite sure how she is doing it all, but I appreciate her.” Student Sophia Jamrozek shared her thoughts about her teacher Mrs. Brennan in poetic fashion. “Why did I choose you...You are there for math and helping others understand it too.

Our school would fall apart, the community too…the question is what would we do without you?”

To all of our extraordinary educators, thank you for all you do.

Teens also expressed their gratitude to our first responders who help sustain our community throughout this time.

Michala Perez thanked first responder Stacy Fisher. “To take on a job like hers requires a strong and noble person, and I am so grateful, as is our community, to have someone willing to do what she does every day.”

Michala also thanked ambulance volunteer Paige Shannon. “I choose to write about Paige as a local hero because she volunteers her time …

Paige, as just a teenager, chose to give up her free time to ensure the safety of others.” Marisa Chura acknowledged first responder Billy Sommer,

“even when it gets hard, he strives to keep everyone out of harm…he is a very devoted person…” Sophie Jamrozek thanked first responder Lester Nicpon with “I choose you, since you go to work each day, and that you help everyone in a different way.” Thank you for all you do.

Those who work in the healthcare profession were especially challenged. In addition to caring for patients, many served as a lifeline to families.

Tyler Ramacca thanked three very special people for their dedication. For Michael DiPeri, nurse anesthetist, “He truly loves helping people and comforting them… thank you for doing your best during these past few extremely difficult months.” For Nurse Nora Johnson, “Thank you for working tirelessly to save as many lives as you were able to.” Tyler also thanked the nurse who was there for his greatgrandmother.

Michelle Nason. “You gave her and our whole family peace of mind knowing that she was being kept comfortable.”

Sienna Perez thanked family friend and RN Case Manager Kelly Pena who “makes me feel safer knowing that there are people to help those with the virus. She is working hard to make sure others are safe.” Thank you for all you do.

Heroes reside in our community and our homes.

Marisa Chura thanked her parents for their extraordinary commitment. “My dad (John Chura), who is a first responder wakes

up early every morning and works 16-hour shifts because he is dedicated to helping his community get through this tough time.”

To her mother, Marilyn Chura, a nurse, “She works hard to get everyone in the hospitals back to their happy family during the Covid-19 pandemic.” Laura Kaan thanked her mom, Nurse Cynthia Kaan, “she alone is my hero, even if she wasn’t a nurse, but even more so because she is one. She is two heroes in one, you can say.” Thank you for all you do.

We thank our teens for sharing their thoughts and expressing their gratitude for all those who live and work in our community.

Their words are a great tribute to all the essential workers who uplift and sustain us. Perhaps Mr. Rogers put it best with the term “helpers.” Our community is filled with helpers, their job descriptions too infinite to describe, but always, we thank you for all you do.

Don’t Stay Idle Long periods of time spent sitting idly can increase your risk of developing blood clots in the legs, a potentially fatal condition known as deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). Simple and short exercises while in route may decrease your chances of developing a serious medical complication.
