Now that it’s wintertime and we still need to exercise, do you swim at the local YMCA – or spend all your free time in the pool? If you spend more than 6 hours in a pool every week, you could be putting your teeth at risk! Because pool water that contains too much chlorine is dangerously acidic… and when highly-acidic water comes into contact with tooth enamel for extended periods, you can develop so-called “swimmer’s calculus”… a build-up of calcium that can turn your teeth yellow or brown. Excess chlorine can also leave your teeth brittle and sensitive. So, if you swim frequently, brush your teeth when you climb out of the pool. Also, consider using a fluoride rinse to help strengthen your teeth.

If you want to reveal 6-pack abs by the pool or at the beach – skip the crunches, and even the planks! We now know it’s all about the cardio. Exercise scientists from Auburn University did a study and found that when people did ab-exercises for 6 weeks, they didn’t lose ANY abdominal fat. That’s because we can’t spot-reduce fat. We lose it all over. However, consistent amounts of aerobic exercise – like running or swimming – combined with strength training and a reduced calorie diet DOES result in weight loss, everywhere on your body, including your stomach.

Wait 30 minutes before you go swimming – or not…

Let’s put this old wives’ tale to rest once and for all. No, you don’t have to wait 30 minutes after eating to swim. The theory was that, after eating, the process of digestion would divert blood flow away from extremities – causing leg cramps, which could lead to drowning. But the truth is: Eating lunch and then jumping in the pool won’t cause any problems.

Tis’ the season for Swimmer’s Ear.

The main cause is water getting trapped in your ear canal. That creates a breeding ground for bacteria. So do this: Mix 1 teaspoon rubbing alcohol with 1 teaspoon of white vinegar. Using a dropper, put one drop in each ear after every swim to flush out any lingering water. The alcohol/vinegar mixture helps prevent bacterial growth.

Doctors say that’s an easy-to-forget area on your body that’s very susceptible to sun damage and skin cancer! So be sure to cover up this weekend.
