PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Spring will be here in a little more than two weeks, but who’s counting? OK, it can’t come soon enough.
Spring is seen as a time of rebirth, and we see it everywhere we look as the Earth comes back to life. Spring is always important as a time of renewal from a health standpoint, too.
People start thinking about how they will look in summer clothes or at the beach and try to shed a few pounds and improve muscle tone. But this year, spring represents far more.
The opportunity to get together outdoors provides a safer way to spend precious time with loved ones and close friends. Fresh air and natural sunlight are plentiful and one of the most effective weapons against feeling down or stressed.
As we start to experience more good weather days than bad, take advantage of them — this year more than ever.
