Getting Sleep!
I just came across an article tonight about something I’ve been noticing lately. The story was about how recruits for fire and ambulance services are overweight. Researchers studied candidates from the Massachusetts Firefighter and ambulance services. These researchers found out that 77 percent of the recruits were overweight or considered obese. This is a major problem for the city‘s and towns who will need them be ready to go at the drop of a hat. I do know that fire departments require their men a women to work out on a regular bases. This keeps them in shape and ready to help people when called on. If you ask me I think our firefighters and ambulance workers should all be assigned a nice mattress to sleep on, a treadmill and a good set of weights. This way they will be will rested and in the best of shape of their lives. I sure hope this problem of overweight public service members is solved very soon, for their sake and ours.
