In fact, two of the last three years had late peaks of flu in March.

A FEW TIPS IF YOU PLAN TO HIT THE SLOPES Coping with Altitude - some simple tricks to avoid issues with the altitude include hydrating, avoiding heavy exertion in the first 24 hours and moderating alcohol consumption. Drink lots of water! Please let us know if you have had trouble at higher altitudes in the past, as there are medications you can take before you go to help acclimate. Also, many people have trouble sleeping at altitude, so let us know if you would like a sleep aid. Avoiding Injuries - with ski season starting up, we offer our members a few pre-season tips to avoid being one of the 200,000 injured skiers / snowboarders each year in the US. The most common injuries are to the knees, shoulders, hands and head. While we do have a network of New York's best orthopedists ready in case you are hurt, we have a few suggestions to help avoid injury. 1. Keep fit -A simple regime of aerobic and strength exercises a few times per week is enough to greatly reduce your chances of having a ski injury this year. 2. Build flexibility - Stretch daily to help avoid injuries when skiing and more especially when falling. 3. Improve balance - Better balance makes for better skiing and less chance of straining a muscle. Practice standing on one leg, single let squats and hops to prepare. 4. Warm up - Cold muscles are more prone to injury. When you hit the slopes, we suggest 3-5 minutes of jumping jacks or running in place, plus a couple of easy runs to start the day, before hitting the black diamonds. 5. Hydrate - Even a mild level of dehydration can negatively affect ability and endurance. Drink plenty of water before, during and after skiing. ...AND FOR THE SUN WORSHIPPERS EFTA00571571 If you are travelling to a warmer destination, remember to take appropriate precautions to avoid heat-stroke and the dangerous effects of sun burn by hydrating, using 30+ SPF sun-screen, and covering sensitive skin even when swimming. Additionally, the Zika virus is still a serious issue in the Caribbean and South America especially for those who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Precautions should be taken to avoid mosquito bites as well as other forms of transmission. Please take a moment to visit the CDC's website for the latest information and travel advisories here.
