Weekend Warriors Need More Than Just WaterKeeping Fitness Resolutions Or Training For events Means Keeping Properly HydratedBy Banner HealthContinued from page 1

People trying to get back into shape as part of their New Year’s resolutions or those who are training for events like the Humana Rock n’ Roll Marathon that took place recently may be not getting the right kind of hydration.

Devin Minior, MD, chief medical offi-cer for Banner Urgent Care, says Ban-ner urgent cares treat many “weekend warriors,’’ amateur athletes who work out more strenuously on the weekends. Many come in because of dehydration and ensuing complications, even in the winter.

Watch Minior speak about dehydration, weekend warriors and training with an online video at: www.santantimes.com/weekend-warriors

“(Runners) are sweating and losing a lot of fluids and so often they are rehydrat-ing with just water and getting some-thing called hyponatremia,’’ Minior said.

Hyponatremia indicates low blood sodi-um levels usually caused by water dilut-ing a person’s blood. It can affect athletic Continued on page 10

performance since symptoms include nausea, lethargy, muscle cramps, weak-ness/fatigue, headaches and restlessness.

To avoid hyponatremia, it’s important to replenish yourself with a drink that has extra electrolytes, especially those drinks fortified with potassium and sodium, Minior said.

Urgent cares also treat many weekend warriors who may have overdone as they went for their first run or weight-lifting session, he said.

“A lot of people who are picking up an activity for the new year or who haven’t worked out for a long time come in be-cause they feel sore and crampy,’’ he said.

Adventures In Obsessive Reading Two New Book ReviewsBy Adventures in Obsessive Reading

The AnomalyAuthor: Michael RutgerPage Count: 352Rating: AFormat Read: BOTM Hardcover Genre: Science Fiction ThrillerKeywords: YouTube, Aliens, HorrorKid Appropriate: No

This was my June pick for Book of the Month and I was so excited because You-Tube + + my home state sounds per-fect! But when I picked up the book the prologue was really weird so I kept put-ting off actually reading it. I shouldn’t

have because it was so much fun I ended up finishing it in 24 hours once I actually started!

Nolan (our mc) was both lovable and ge-neric. By this I mean he had fewer crazy traits than most and could easily morph into someone you know. For me I kept picturing an older Shane Dawson. With this flexible identity it was easy to get into the story following him.

Ken was a stereotype, but in the fun way. Rutger could have made him sleazy but I’m glad he didn’t. Pierre was basically a puppy. Molly shifted too much quickly in my opinion to ever feel truly connect-ed to her. For the length of the novel her rapid shifts felt disjointed. And finally I liked our villains (no spoilers!). They were just weird enough that it worked well with the science fiction world creat-ed here.

The setting of the cave was by far my favorite aspect. It was expansive enough to be creepy and get the heart rate up but small enough you aren’t confused the entire time.

This definitely is not a read after presti-gious awards in literature but it’s genu-inely fun with its heavy doses of adven-ture and sarcasm mixed with a dash of science fiction to keep you wondering.

The HypnotistAuthor: Lars KeplerPage Count: 503Rating: A+Keywords: Mystery, Amnesia, CrueltyGenre: Psychological Thriller/MysteryYounger Readers: Some teens and olderContinued on page 12


Adventures In Obsessive ReadingContinued from page 11

Not many books can literally give me goosebumps and send me hugging my dog quite like Lars Kepler’s Joona Linna series.

I have read the first four books in this se-ries: The Hypnotist, The Nightmare, The Fire Witness, and The Sandman. Each one has freaked me out while irresistibly draw-ing me into finishing these 500+ page book within a day or two. These books are scary, twisted, addictive, and brilliant fun.

Each tale is equally captivating and un-nerving as you follow our Finnish protag-onist throughout the mysteries he encoun-ters in Sweden, each book revealing more and more about him. By book four I was sobbing at the end and am now patiently (well not at all patiently) waiting for book five, The Stalker, to be available in the United States’ Kindle store. Apparently it will not be available until February 2019. However, for all of you that have yet to dis-

cover this series you have plenty of time to catch up!

I cannot recommend this series enough! Check it out if you’re looking for a spine tingling mystery series that’ll keep you hooked.

Note: The cover above is the one that I originally read the series in. The American editions have since been re-released with new covers. .STT

what it takes to bring the news to life for the viewers. Ellsworth students were at the news desk when breaking news came in and the helicopter was dispatched to the scene.

They met Iris Hermasillo the meteorol-ogist who took them to the green screen, where they saw themselves on the televi-sion in the weather forecast as you see it on TV.

After the Humane Society appeared on the 11:00 a.m. news, students were given the opportunity to meet and visit with the pet of the day.
