October 15 was Love Your Body Day, but wouldn't it be nice if we could love our bodies every day? Diet Blog offers some tips for improving your body image.

Raking leaves doesn't seem like the kind of activity that can put you in harms way. But if you do it wrong, you could end up pulling a muscle or putting your back out, and then you'll have to explain how you injured yourself and man, how embarrassing would that be?

So here are some tips from the people at Everyday Health on protecting yourself while raking:

• Wear warm clothes to keep your muscles warm
• Do some gentle warm-ups before you start raking -- some twists, walking and leg stretches should do
• Maintain good posture while you rake
• Don't twist your back
• Alternate the side of your body that you hold the rake with
• Drink lots of water, and take a break if you're not used to exercise.
  

This is pretty good advice for any sort of active chore -- shovelling snow especially. Don't you think?
