Icy roads? Gym too far away? Or are you just not a people person? Cozy cardio may be right for you. What is cozy cardio? Clare Spires, an exercise physiologist at OSF HealthCare, says cozy cardio, in simple terms, is a way to make exercise comfortable in your home. It’s wise to talk to a health care provider about what workout is right for you. But generally, cozy cardio offers some freedom. For example, you can work up a sweat with an instructional video or app. Or you can just find a routine that works for you. Equipment Spires says you don’t have to rush out and buy equipment. But if you like having something to hold or press your feet to, there are options. Walking pads have become popular. These are miniature treadmills with just the bottom structure. There are no rails and monitor at eye level like a traditional treadmill. “Some can do inclines,” Spires says. “You can put it under a desk if you’re a remote worker. It’s just another

ALTON/GODFREY - Residents of Alton and Godfrey are encouraged to take advantage of a community service program aimed at enhancing home safety through the installation of carbon monoxide detectors. On January 26, 2025, volunteers from Resurrection Lutheran Church, in collaboration with the Godfrey Fire Protection District, the Alton Fire Department, and Boy Scout Troop 7, will install free, brand-new 10-year UL-listed carbon monoxide detectors in homes throughout the area. Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas, can accumulate in homes without occupants realizing it, particularly when appliances such as stoves, heaters, and fireplaces malfunction or lack proper ventilation. The gas poses serious health risks, including illness, injury, and potentially fatal poisoning, which is why having a carbon monoxide detector is crucial. Sharon Groh, a volunteer with Resurrection Lutheran Church, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, “Our primary goal is

Can’t stop coughing? It’s a common question happening with all of the upper respiratory illness going around including colds, flu and RSV. Maybe two weeks ago you had a virus, you treated the symptoms with antibiotics, you’re feeling much better, but the cough is just lingering. Juanbosco Ayala, MD, is a pulmonologist in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at OSF Little Company of Mary Medical Center in Evergreen Park, Illinois. He provides medical care to patients on a daily basis, especially people who have breathing disorders and lung disease, and explains potential reasons why coughs linger. “A lot of times it’s due to the local inflammation that persists. There’s not much to do for it, we typically recommend antihistamines, and sometimes you’ll have to cycle those,” Dr. Ayala says. “It’s usually something that subsides with time. But if it doesn’t, then obviously that may need to be looked at.” Antihistamines ca
