Understanding Strokes
04/29/2019
A stroke, or an attack of the brain, happens when a blood vessel in the brain bursts or becomes blocked. The brain is an organ that cannot store oxygen, so blood vessels deliver oxygen through the blood. A lack of blood supply can cause a stroke, therefore causing surrounding nerve cells to be cut off from nutrients and oxygen. If the brain tissue lacks oxygen for more than three or four minutes, the tissue begins to die.

5 Tips to Get You Through Flu Season
10/18/2017
Flu season typically begins in October and spans the fall and winter months. Although every season is different and some flu strains are more severe than others, approximately 5 - 20 percent of Americans contract the flu every year, resulting in over 200,000 hospitalizations according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Taking a few simple precautions can help to reduce your risk of getting sidelined with the flu this year.
Flu Season Precautions
09/29/2017
Flu season is back! You’re going to be hearing those commercials about flu shots, and you’re going to be on guard around the office when one of your co-workers starts sneezing and coughing.
So what can you do to best prepare? Here’s a list:
Digestive System Health
09/26/2017
America may run on Dunkin’, but our bodies run on ENERGY. (Although we personally prefer Krispy Kreme…)
Where does energy start? With your digestive system! If you don’t digest and break down nutrients, then you don’t supply your body with the energy it needs to function! So, it’s important we keep that digestive system healthy! Here’s how:
Childhood Obesity and What to Do
09/14/2017
Let’s get started by defining what childhood obesity is. Generally, obesity is defined as having excess body fat, while overweight is defined by having excess body weight relative to that individual’s height. And then there’s BMI - Body Mass Index - which is a screening tool for measuring both overweight and obesity.
Prostate Cancer
09/13/2017
When it comes to risks, certain ethnic and genetic groups have been found to be more prone to the disease than others. In the US, prostate cancer is greater than 60% more common among black men, and it is 2-3 times more deadly. It’s in the genes as well. If an identical twin has it, then the counterpart is at extreme risk. For men whose brothers or father had prostate cancer, the risk is twice as high.
Sun and the Non-Summer
08/31/2017
Summer may be winding to a close, but you don’t leave skin protection from the sun behind! The risk of skin cancer continues throughout your life, no matter the season.
Which Is It? A Headache or a Migraine?
08/26/2017
Pressure! Pressure and pain… and just how much you are feeling in your head can make it difficult to determine whether or not you have a headache or a migraine. Knowing the difference can help you get relief more quickly. So, how can you tell the difference?
Young Children's Vision: What You Need to Know
08/16/2017
Visual acuity for a child really sharpens and improves around the six-month range. If all is normal, parents will see a great improvement of hand-eye coordination right around the time this develops. To make sure things are normal, schedule an appointment with an optometrist or ophthalmologist at 6 months. This will put you on the right foot should any steps or precautions be taken.
Vaccines Are For Adults, Too
08/04/2017
August is National Immunization Awareness Month, and when we generally speak about vaccines and immunizations, most people think about children. And you should - as vaccines for children can help reduce the risk of all kinds of diseases that at one point of our history were major health issues.
But vaccines aren’t just for children. People of all ages can get shots to protect them from serious disease. Just like you hear about every year regarding flu shots - it’s important that you get it done.
Understanding Blood Pressure
07/28/2017
Why do we measure blood pressure? It’s a tool doctors use to help identify if a person is at risk for heart disease or stroke. Keep in mind, it’s not the only tool, and it doesn’t necessarily indicate that a person will or won’t have heart disease, but it does help doctors in the management of their patients’ care. Doctors are primarily checking for hypertension, hypotension, or other heart conditions.
The Fear of Dry Drowning
07/19/2017
One of the scarier headlines on social media for parents contains the phrase “dry drowning” - and it can be a scary thing. While extremely rare, these incidents can be prevented. So let’s discuss what dry drowning is, the signs of it, and how it can be prevented.

So, with that in mind, here are a few quick tips to keep on your radar this Fourth of July:
Sleep! Are You Getting Enough?
06/19/2017
Sleep is a major factor in an individual’s physical health, because a lot goes on while you are snoozing - you just don’t realize it!
As an example, your heart and blood vessels heal and repair themselves while you are sleeping… it’s true. Also, dreaming is an essential exercise for our minds to process and consolidate stress, memories, and emotions. There are many theories that suggest that it improves learning of new skills.
And with all this good stuff that it does… why aren’t we getting enough? And just what is the right amount of sleep? Let’s lay it out for you.
How Well Are You Hydrating?
06/14/2017
Water is constantly escaping our bodies, through breath, urine, sweat, etc. And yes, if you live in a warmer climate, then you’re losing water even more rapidly. And what goes out, we need to replace.
That’s why doctors (and mothers) are always telling you to drink more water. So, how much is the right amount?
