Safety Topics from Mike Brown

Water is Necessary

Many people experience fatigue, headaches, and nausea during a normal day, but very few of us realize that these problems could be caused or aggravated by not drinking enough water. Water is one of the most important ingredients for survival. Water is the principal chemical component of the human body and it is vital to the proper functioning of all physiological systems.

A Good Diet

A good diet is important. Most people know that a proper diet is fundamental to a healthy lifestyle and that the things we eat will directly influence our well-being. A good diet can lead to increased energy, lower blood pressure, and a longer lifespan, while a bad diet may cause heart disease, poor digestion, and chronic fatigue.
