Congratulations to our own Vince Paglino and the Voo Doo Crew for another successful Gasparilla Children’s Day Parade!

This year’s parade looks like it was the most highly attended so far as the weather cooperated to bring out 1,000s of Tampa’s youngest pirates! Krewes from across the Tampa Bay area including the Voo Doo Crew stormed the area on intricately-designed floats along the parade route that stretched for miles through South Tampa, from Bay to Bay Blvd to Edison Avenue. The season continues this coming Saturday, January 25th, 2020 as the Crew joins in for the “invasion” and adult parade starting at 11:00 am with the parade starting at 2:00pm.

Drink More Water! A 2020 Weight Loss Resolution that’s Easy to Keep!

Water helps boost your metabolism, cleans your body of waste, and acts as an appetite suppressant. Also, drinking more water helps your body stop retaining water, leading you to drop those extra pounds of water weight. What can you do to make sure you’re drinking the recommended eight to ten eight-ounce glasses per day to keep yourself hydrated and encourage weight loss? Drink a glass of water before you eat! Water is an appetite suppressant, drinking it before meals can make you feel fuller, therefore reducing the amount of food you eat. Health resource website WebMD states that drinking water before meals results in an average reduction in intake of 75 calories per meal. Drinking that water ice cold also helps boost your metabolism because your body has to work harder to warm the water up, therefore burning more calories and helping you to lose weight. Hitting the gym with your 2020 resolutions? Drinking water helps prevent muscle cramps and keeps your joints lubricated, you can work out longer and harder. Just another way that proper hydration helps you lose weight. If you really want the water you drink to help you lose weight, you should follow the “8×8” rule recommended by most nutritionists: Drink eight eight-ounce glasses of water per day for weight loss and to maintain an ideal weight. You might need to drink more water if you exercise a lot or sweat heavily, or less water if you drink other beverages like herbal tea (make sure they are decaffeinated).

Legionnaires’ outbreak linked to North Carolina state fair kills fourth person:

https://www.foxnews.com/health/legionnaires-outbreak-north-carolina-state-fair-fourth-death

Another person has died as a result of a Legionnaires’ outbreak in North Carolina, state health officials announced late last week. The death of a fourth person due to the outbreak – possibly linked to a hot tub display at the North Carolina Mountain State Fair, which took place Sept. 6-15 at the Western North Carolina Agricultural Center in Fletcher – was revealed in an updated interim report released Friday by officials with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.

Health officials also have confirmed 141 cases of Legionnaires’ disease or Pontiac fever, a milder form of the illness. The outbreak has affected North Carolina residents as well as those in other states. Ninety-four people, or about 69 percent, have been hospitalized due to the outbreak!

An estimated 8,000 to 18,000 people are hospitalized with Legionnaires’ disease each year in the U.S. How can so many people be infected by this bacteria, especially in places where you think you would be safe from any deadly bacteria? Being exposed to any water system can be a source of disease if the water in it is subjected to conditions that promote growth of the organism as in the case of the Spas noted above at the fair.

So how do you kill Legionella?

First, is preventing it! Killing the bacteria before it reaches any water system. Traditional oxidizing agents such as chlorine have been proven very effective in controlling Legionella. Using continuous chlorination at low free residual levels can be effective in controlling Legionella. That’s why many hospitals are using Everpure’s 7SI cartridges on their ice machines to help prevent the Legionella bacteria from forming in their water.
