When it comes time for your kiddo to head off to daycare, preschool or other early childhood education facilities, affordable opportunities are hard to come by. In many regions of the country, people are spending more money on childcare than they are on housing or food for the entire family. Early childhood care and education sets each child up for development and learning. Moreover, affordable childcare promotes parental employment. If a child has nowhere to go, it can be difficult for a parent to take a day off when they have a job to get to.
When it comes to prioritizing your rest and recovery, there are multiple factors that can help improve the way you take care of yourself post-workout. Active rest recovery increases your blood circulation, improving soft tissue that’s been broken down by exercise. The blood flow delivers nutrients that help repair muscles, tendons and ligaments in the body. Practicing rest and recovery should happen in the hours post-workout to effectively get your body the nutrients and downtime it needs to keep up with the rest of your body.

Smartphone usage has become so intertwined with our everyday lives, it’s almost impossible to function in society without one. If you’re a college student, your campus logins are probably secured through your phone. If you’re an office worker, your professional accounts are likely linked to your device. And that’s just the tip of the average smartphone-usage iceberg. Most people’s phones have become their personal television set for watching entertainment, their portable console for playing video games, and their all-encompassing hub for consuming social media content.
