HEADING OUTSIDE? KEEP
THESE THINGS IN MIND

FALL 2020 VIM & VIGOR
This might just be the
ultimate fall activity. With
cool, inviting weather and
a beautiful array of colors
decorating every tree,
autumn beckons many a
weekend warrior out to
the trails. But hiking often
requires more than a pair
of boots and a sense of
adventure. Preparation
can help you avoid mishaps, from minor ailments to serious injuries.
"Some of the most
common injuries a hiker
will encounter include
blisters, ankle sprains
and muscle cramps," says
Torrance Laury, MD, a
sports medicine expert
at Northside Hospital
Orthopedic Institute.
"Being prepared with
proper footwear, clothing
Be Prepared
with These
Proper footwear
Proper clothing
Water
Snacks
A friend
and plenty of water and
snacks can make a huge
difference while you're
out on the trail."
While you're at it, make
sure the terrain on your
chosen trail fits your
fitness and ability level.
Steep trails with plenty
of rocks and tree roots
can quickly turn a fun
day outside into a weeklong recovery.
Most importantly, stick
to the trail and areas that
you are familiar with.
While more experienced
outdoor enthusiasts may
be properly equipped to
navigate unfamiliar areas,
getting lost can be deadly.
Never hike alone, and
always make sure a friend
or a loved one at home
is aware of where you'll
be exploring.

There is something sacred
about the return of fall in
Georgia. For some, it's the
chance to take in breathtaking views as
autumn paints the tree line red and yellow. For others, it's a much-needed excuse
to indulge in pumpkin spice lattes, or
the promise of the holiday season soon
to come. One thing is for sure: When
you're accustomed to the oppressive heat
of a Georgia summer, fall's cool embrace
offers welcome relief.
More tolerable weather brings a
nearly universal desire to be outside.
But that escape to the great outdoors
can come at a price-and sometimes, it's
your health that pays. To see that you
have a happy and healthy fall season,
follow these pointers from Northside
Hospital experts the next time you leave
the house. *
