People who move daily are healthier, happier and live longer lives, so don't let achy body parts slow you down.
Jordan Metzl, a sports medicine physician, wants to teach you how to manage aches and pains at home. To prevent muscular back pain -- the most common type of back pain – try strengthening your back muscles with a plank. Get into pushup position, but bend your elbows and rest your weight on your forearms. Your body should form a straight line. Brace your core and hold for 30 seconds to a minute (or longer, if you can).

| Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |

For a happy union, always ask your partner: How can I help you today? That’s the equivalent of saying "How are you?" You need to do it because many people get so caught up in their lives that they end up not checking in with their partners, say the authors of “How to Keep Your Marriage From Sucking.”
By asking to be included and be of service, you are acknowledging that you see the "invisible work" being done by your loved one. We can't all be mind readers, so it's important to open up that level of communication.
