Health Check: Rethinking the Scale, Prepping for Flu Season, and Eating Your Hydration Stepping on the scale is a common routine for many, but experts say that number doesn’t tell the full story. Endocrinologists point out that factors like time of day, water retention, or recent workouts can all affect the number you see. Building muscle may increase your weight even as you become leaner. Rather than stressing over the scale, consider how you feel or take body measurements to track progress more effectively. With flu season approaching, health professionals recommend getting vaccinated sooner rather than later. Influenza remains a significant cause of illness and death across all age groups. Getting vaccinated not only protects you but also those around you. And if you’re hesitant about shots, a nasal spray option is available. Lastly, staying hydrated isn’t just about drinking water. If you’re craving something to chew, dietitians suggest water-rich foods like strawberries, cucumbers, celery, oranges, lettuce, and even broccoli. These healthy snacks can help keep you hydrated while adding valuable nutrients to your diet.
