I don’t know about you, but I expect to eat way too much during this Thanksgiving holiday. Here are some simple ways to stay healthy during this festive time. It’s ok to eat whatever foods you want but try to limit how much you eat. Eat breakfast and lunch so you aren’t as hungry heading into the big meal. And stay active, doing some form of exercise every day. Even walking around your neighborhood could burn some of the extra calories and decrease the stress of these hectic days. And finally, it’s ok to drink alcohol while celebrating with your friends and family but keep it to a minimum.
Through the stories of a dozen athletes whose injuries and recovery advanced the field (including Joan Benoit, Michael Jordan, Brandi Chastain, and Tommy John), Dr. Geier explains how sports medicine makes sports safer for the pros, amateurs, student-athletes, and weekend warriors alike.
