the importance of regular health checkups

12/14/2021

0 Comments

 
Many people only visit their doctors when they are unwell. An online survey conducted in 2019 found that 22% of Americans avoid medical care, including doctor visits, annual visits, and screenings, due to high healthcare costs. If you've had negative experiences with the healthcare system and are worried about receiving bad healthcare, you can enlist the help of medical malpractice attorneys.

Going for regular health checkups may save money in the long run by helping you maintain a healthy lifestyle and catching chronic conditions early on.

Taking care of your health may seem like a never-ending project, with endless "tasks" that headlines tell you to do, or not to do.

Don't eat this! Don't eat that!

Adopting some healthy habits doesn't have to feel like a burden. Incorporating small changes can make a bigger difference than you think. 

Usually we talk about maintaining a healthy weight, but today we'll talk about 2 things you may take for granted: your eyesight and your hearing.

30 Minute Workout: Cardio-Weight Combo

11/24/2014

1 Comment

 

Yes, you read the title right! I'm going to share with you my new fitness focus for November:

quick endurance circuit training
Let's break it down:
- QUICK: Only 30 minutes out of your day, 2 times per week
- ENDURANCE: These workouts boast high reps with moderate weight for muscle endurance and...
- CIRCUITS: Circuit training itself brings cardio into your weight workout so it will provide you with an endurance double-whammy

*BONUS: The constant movement of this workout and its engagement of large muscle groups can boost your anaerobic capacity, too! What's anaerobic? It is a certain process that your body uses during exercise for quick fast movements (example: 100 yard dash). Contrast this with aerobic exercise that is more like a 1-mile run.

Should I Take a Multivitamin?

8/28/2014

Should I Take a Multivitamin?   |   Bailey DeBarmore
In my opinion, there are two groups of people who should take multivitamins:
  1. Pregnant women (specifically prenatal vitamins)
  2. People with a medical condition for which a doctor has recommended they take a multivitamin - such as malabsorptive diseases, including but not limited to Crohns, ulcerative colitis, pancreatitis, liver disease, and cystic fibrosis

Where the line is drawn (in my opinion) is when your primary care provider at your annual "well" exam suggests you take a multivitamin to "fill in the gaps" in your not-so-perfect diet.

It is to the habitual multivitamin takers, who are otherwise healthy, that I am talking to.

Gout Diet: Is All Hope Lost?

The Gout Diet - Is All Hope Lost?   | Bailey DeBarmore
Gout is a condition where crystals - made up of "uric acid" - build up in the joints, causing swelling and intense pain. Treatment is a double-edged sword: what you eat and drink.
If you've ever talked to your doctor about a "gout diet", you were probably discouraged by Doc's answer. Traditional gout diets recommend restricting some of the tastiest food and drink there is! And just like any restrictive diet, it can leave you irritable and depressed, pining away for the foods of yesterday.
Luckily, a general healthy eating plan combined with some of the newer medications out there can cut down on the number of gout flare-ups you have - without an overly strict diet. (1)

What Are Probiotics & Should You Use Them?

What are probiotics & should you use them? - Bailey DeBarmore
Your body has more non-human cells than human cells. In fact, 10 times more! These non-human cells are called "microbiota" and include bacteria as well as other types of cells. Do you remember The Human Genome Project that concluded in 2001? Researchers succeeding in mapping out the entire genetic makeup of human DNA.

The National Institutes of Health, America's premier research institution, has embarked upon The Human Microbiome Project to do just the same but instead, map the microbiome that resides within the human body.

Stop Fat Talk!

Stop Fat Talk      | Bailey DeBarmore
What is fat talk?
Body-critical talk; contagious; worsens existing poor body image and self esteem; sets the stage for eating disorders; often reflects how the speaker is expected to feel about her body, not how she actually feels (1)
Have you noticed any "body-positive" campaigns lately? Perhaps Operation Beautiful by TriDelta? Or "Fight Fat Talk" by Special K? Don't forget one of my favorites, the Self-Esteem Project by Dove that has an entire section devoted to the Role of the Media and how airbrushing and photoshopping as well as scantily clad music video dancers impact the young women of the upcoming generation. They have games like "Retouch Roulette" where young girls learn to spot altered images, gradually redefining their sense of beauty without the impact of the media.
