Hey Sport ... Watch Your Asthma!!
Did you know exercise can trigger an asthma attack?
Well, it can. That's why it is very important for athletes with asthma to closely monitor their breathing and keep their
rescue inhaler with them during all sporting activities. If you have asthma, be sure and talk to your doctor before
starting any new sporting activity.

Is snoring draining your energy level?
More than 25% of adults snore. In many cases, snoring is harmless and, at most, annoying to the people that have to
sleep with a person that snores. However, in severe cases, snoring can lead to a serious condition called obstructive
sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can prevent you from getting "restful" sleep and may leave you with very little energy to
start the day each morning.
