Autumn is a beautiful time of year in the north and northeast. Millions of people around the world come to visit to see the changing colors of autumn leaves. Officials say that tourists about 3 billion this fall in New England is looking to spend colored leaves. While there is no doubt about the shape of the tissue on the outside is, all these leaves to the ground eventually fall to create a lot of work for us to clean.
I know that one of these weekends to come, I'll crawl all the leaves in my garden and they are placed in bags placement at the transfer station. Eliminations will go on our property can be difficult to talk about today we talk about safe rake some tips.
One of the first things is to be noted, has the right tools for the job. You should choose a rake, is the right size for you. You want to keep be able to body mechanics while raking. If the Commission is too small for you, you will be great at the end of bending and twisting that the establishment of a sore back. There are ergonomic spoons you can buy sheets that allow you to more sheets at a time to collect when given in a bag. This saves time and limits the amount of lift you need to do.
using appropriate clothing to reduce the risk of exposure to cold or slip and fall in the moist leaves. Trying to rake if we had a dry day to stretch and shoes or boots with good traction you wear to stay on your feet help. It is recommended to wear layered clothing that keeps you warm, but dry. If you have allergies, limit with a disposable mask while working on the pile of leaves your exposure to mold significantly. Wearing gloves should also be taken into account the development in order to keep the hands bulbs.
It's on and warm up your muscles a collection of chips actual work before you start to reduce the risk of muscle strains. to stay well hydrated is always important when physical work. Even in cold climates may be dehydrated, which can lead to muscle cramps.
A bag full of leaves can be quite difficult, proper lifting techniques, it is important. We've all heard time and time again, we need to "lift with your legs rather than your back." To do this, move closer to the pocket and bend your knees, keep your back straight up. You want to pick avoid bending at the waist things. Bend and twist at the waist while lifting elements greatly increases the risk that the tense and sore one back.
One of the things I always do tell my patients half the time trying to rake and gave him half of the time to stay. Ambidextrously tried is raking the uniform, work the muscles on the left and right part of the body. This helps more efforts to prevent the same muscles over and over again as you work.
We hope that these tips will do well to continue this fall clean around the yard. The leaves fall when the big wind blows. Some fall quickly and fall slowly, but when they land in my garden, they all go.
Yours in health and Crick crack.
