Friday’s Hearty News and Gripes…
All right, ya’all. A little summary of hearty tidbits that have either… made me mad, fired me up, were very welcomed or just plain out caught my eye.
First of all, I we will be welcoming a guest blogger over the next few weeks. I am excited to say that Mark, from Mark’s Daily Apple will be joining us for a few fitness tips and give us ways to squeeze in our very needed cardio gym time. He is an ex-professional endurance athlete (Ironman) and all around healthy guy! Look forward to reading his words of wisdom next week some time.
Why do people just assume that a diet pill will make you lose weight with no ramifications? I mean, come on! I can’t tell you how many people I hear say, “I’m getting that diet pill prescribed this week, I am going to lose 20 pounds. Ugh, I hate dieting and don’t ask me to enter a gym, it’s just not me”. Do you think that your insides are heart healthy by taking a pill. Isn’t the idea of losing weight to create a healthier you by proper nutrition and some sort of exercise? Boy am I fired up!
Why is it that I observe my fellow healthcare professionals smoking their little hearts out every chance they get? First of all, didn’t you just preach a sermon to room 210 about heart disease and smoking? You told him he needed to quit before he was a permanent resident of our facility. And second, why do you get to take a break to go smoke while I cover your patients and answer all of you calls? Because I am a non smoker, I am punished and don’t get to leave the floor for 12 hours? Whatever!
And Finally, how many of you keep track of your blood pressure? Just a little question. Once again, my kids listen to all that I say, and boy do I have a lot to say. They hear me preach about salt, fatty foods and how it affects blood pressure. They also observe my hubby and myself checking our BP at Target once a week. So they ask Mom Mom and Pop Pop, “what is your blood pressure”? Yeah, how cute, right? Mom mom and Pop Pop don’t think so but it proves my point. Listen and learn. Education and knowledge is power. Teach what you know, you never know who might be listening and how it could affect them.
Have a great Friday! Let me know what you think. Do you agree with my gripes and opinions? Do you have something to offer myself and other readers? Come on, don’t be shy!
