Lt. Colonel Bob Weinstein, aka the Health Colonel, inspired and motivated the members of the Hospitality Human Resources Association of Broward County at their luncheon meeting on March 1, 2006 at the Embassy Suites in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on the topic “Seven Keys to Performance Enhancement in the Workplace.”

There was a sudden energy rush as Colonel Weinstein was talking about the impact of negative self-talk on work performance.

Col. Weinstein, “There are just two words you need to remember anytime you start talking negatively about yourself. Cease fire! Pretend you are the safety officer on the firing range who gives the command to cease fire. All firing on the range ceases. That’s what you are to do when you catch yourself firing away at you! Treat yourself like you would a very best friend, motivating and encouraging him or her to perform better and improve without condemnation.”

Employees Have Yet Another Reason To Lose Their Office Chairs In Favor Of A Treadmill Desk: Their Brain

Employees Have Yet Another Reason To Lose Their Office Chairs In Favor Of A Treadmill Desk: Their Brain

Use of Treadmill Desks May Increase Production of Small Blood Vessels in the Brain

Phoenix, AZ (Vocus) December 2, 2008

Numerous studies in recent years have shown that walking on a regular basis lowers an employee's incidence of stroke, dementia and Alzheimer's Disease, however scientists are just now uncovering the exact reasons why. A recent study conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that individuals who participate in regular, long-term exercise had as much as 43% more small blood vessels in their brains than those who were sedentary. The challenge most employees face is finding time to engage in sufficient daily exercise due to the sedentary nature of their employment. Treadmill desks may hold the answer for many of them.

Though not thoroughly understood, it is believed that walking prompts the body's production of a variety of beneficial elements including increased production of blood vessels (angiogenesis) and capillaries that assist in muscle growth and retention, brain function and overall health efficiencies. Further studies have shown that sufficient amounts of daily walking increases brain function such as memory as much as 15% in as little as 6 months. Employees currently using treadmill desks report gains in production and concentration in an addition to the numerous health benefits, including weight loss. A detailed list of these health benefits can be found at the TrekDesk website at http://www. trekdesk. com].

"This is one more study that validates the need for employees to get out of their chairs and start moving," observed Steve Bordley, Owner of TrekDesk, a treadmill desk manufacturer. "The evidence is overwhelming that sitting at a desk all day is damaging employee's health. From a weight stand point alone Americans are burning 700 calories less per day than a generation ago, movement is critical to the obesity problems in our country."

Although weight loss is a crucial benefit gained when using a treadmill desk there are many additional and equally important health benefits that daily walking delivers such as brain enhancement. Studies have shown that an overweight individual who walks consistently may be healthier than a sedentary individual of normal weight. The message is clear, the more an employee can engage in movement during the day the greater their chance to enhance their health and their minds.

Treadmill desks allow continual movement at slow speeds throughout the work day without sweating. "Think about walking down the hall reading and conversing with a co-worker, we do this all the time. Treadmill desks are just as easy as that, with the added benefit of not having to look where you are going," added Bordley.

ABOUT TrekDesk : manufacturer of the first affordable full sized, adjustable treadmill desk designed to fit an existing treadmill, allowing walking while working, burning calories without sweating and health enhancement.

Asthma Education Delivered Online by Doctors Using Vivacare Patient Education Service

Asthma Education Delivered Online by Doctors Using Vivacare Patient Education Service

Vivacare provides physicians with asthma handouts for publication on their practice Websites to improve patient education and asthma management.

Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) August 3, 2010

The 17 million Americans suffering from asthma (http://fromyourdoctor. com/topic. do? title=Asthma+Basics&t=7696) can now learn about asthma treatment options and asthma self-management from the source they trust most…..their own doctor.

Physicians enrolled for Vivacare’s From Your Doctor (http://fromyourdoctor. com) patient education can publish patient handouts and other educational resources to their own practice Websites, providing their patients with convenient access to in-depth health information that helps them understand and manage their condition.

Vivacare has recently expanded the asthma education offering to include a wide variety of titles, including types of asthma (allergic asthma, exercise-induced asthma, occupational asthma and childhood asthma), medical tests (chest x-ray, peak flow meter), medications (inhaled brochodilators, inhaled corticosteroids (http://fromyourdoctor. com/topic. do? title=Corticosteroids+Inhaled&t=12030), leukotriene inhibitors and others), and asthma management tools (asthma action plan, asthma diary (http://fromyourdoctor. com/topic. do? title=Asthma+Diary&t=1202))

Allergists, family physicians, internists, pediatricians, pulmonologists and other medical specialists that diagnose and treat asthma can use the Vivacare service to enhance patient care. Physicians can easily edit the content to reflect their own professional perspective and unique approach to care. An allergist can provide his or her own tips on creating an allergen-free home or suggestions on using a peak flow meter.

For instance, http://www. bakeraad. com/health-education. php (http://www. bakeraad. com/health-education. php)? [Dr. James Baker __title__ James Baker, M. D. Allergist] , an allergist in private practice at Baker Allergy, Asthma and Dermatology in Portland, Oregon has published a variety of patient handouts regarding allergic and respiratory conditions.

“Asthma can be a difficult disease to manage. Patients must learn how to use an inhaler, how to track their symptoms, follow an asthma action plan, and know when to seek medical attention during an asthma attack", said Dr. Mark Becker, pediatrician and President of Vivacare. “In its effort to improve patient care, Vivacare has enhanced the asthma education tools available to physicians to help them manage their patients with asthma.”

Asthma is characterized by inflammation of the airways with intermittent bronchospasm that results in coughing, wheezing and difficulty breathing. Although asthma symptoms may worsen during episodes called “asthma attacks, it is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management. Severe cases of asthma can be life-threatening. Asthma medications (http://fromyourdoctor. com/topic. do? title=Asthma+Medications&t=9174) and other treatment recommendations are past on the type of asthma, its severity, the age of the patient, responses to past treatments, possible side effects and presence of other medical conditions.
