Here are some simple advises, which will help you to save your health, and to stay healthy you should follow them.

Laugh and have fun. Don’t be gloomy.

Pediatric Weight Loss

Childhood Obesity: The health of an entire Generation at risk

Childhood obesity is particularly troubling because the extra pounds often start children on the path to health problems that were once confined to adults, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Childhood obesity can also lead to poor self-esteem and depression.

Immediate health effects:

  • Obese youth are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure. In a population-based sample of 5- to 17-year-olds, 70% of obese youth had at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

  • Obese adolescents are more likely to have prediabetes, a condition in which blood glucose levels indicate a high risk for development of diabetes.

  • Children and adolescents who are obese are at greater risk for bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and social and psychological problems such as stigmatization and poor self-esteem.

Long-term health effects:

  • Children and adolescents who are obese are likely to be obese as adults and are therefore more at risk for adult health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer, and osteoarthritis.6 One study showed that children who became obese as early as age 2 were more likely to be obese as adults.

  • Overweight and obesity are associated with increased risk for many types of cancer, including cancer of the breast, colon, endometrium, esophagus, kidney, pancreas, gall bladder, thyroid, ovary, cervix, and prostate, as well as multiple myeloma and Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

FAQ

Can I schedule a Preventive Medicine visit (Annual Physical) as a new patient?

Before you schedule an appointment or see a specialist outside of Quad Cities Medical Group Family Care, please contact your health insurance company.

  • Physical Benefits of Meditation

Spiritual healing with following methods

Hooponopono Deep Healing

Ho'oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. The method focuses on self-healing and accepting responsibility for every event in one's life. It works on the principle of clearing your mind of subconscious blockages and destructive thoughts, thus allowing the natural flow of positive energy. Practicing Ho'oponopono can lead to improved mental clarity, a deeper sense of peace and harmony, and stronger personal relationships.

Reiki Healing

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that involves the practitioner channeling healing energy into the patient by means of touch. This energy aims to activate the natural healing processes in the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being. The benefits of Reiki healing can include stress reduction, relaxation, promotion of healing, relief from pain and symptoms of various health conditions, and a general sense of spiritual wellness.

Chakra Cleansing

This practice involves clearing blockages in the seven main energy centers (chakras) in the body. These blockages can lead to physical, mental, and emotional imbalance. By performing a chakra cleansing, you can restore balance, which can lead to improved physical health, emotional stability, mental clarity, and spiritual growth.

Chakra Healing

This method is similar to chakra cleansing, but it focuses more specifically on healing and balancing each individual chakra. This could involve using different techniques such as meditation, visualization, affirmations, yoga, or use of healing crystals. Chakra healing can lead to a wide range of benefits, including improved overall wellbeing, greater self-awareness, and enhanced intuitive abilities.

Hypnosis for Healing Deep Emotional Wounds

This method involves the use of hypnosis to access the subconscious mind, where deep-seated emotional wounds often reside. Under the guidance of a trained professional, the individual can address and heal these wounds. This process can lead to a wide variety of benefits, including improved mental and emotional health, relief from anxiety and depression, improved self-esteem, and resolution of past traumas.

These methods teach individuals to tune into their body's natural healing abilities by staying present and mindful. It encourages acceptance and acknowledgment of one's feelings and experiences without judgment. This method can lead to enhanced emotional resilience, improved stress management, and a more profound understanding of one's body and mind, leading to a stronger capacity for self-healing.

Each of these methods offers unique benefits and can contribute to one's spiritual, mental, and physical wellbeing. Different methods may resonate differently with different individuals, so it can be beneficial to explore various practices to discover what works best for each person.

Active Lifestyle - Tips from Family doctor - Bettendorf | davenport

If you’re not sure about becoming active or boosting your level of physical activity because you’re afraid of getting hurt, the good news is that moderate-intensity aerobic activity, like brisk walking, is generally safe for most people.

Start slowly. Cardiac events, such as a heart attack, are rare during physical activity. But the risk does go up when you suddenly become much more active than usual. For example, you can put yourself at risk if you don’t usually get much physical activity and then all of a sudden do vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, like shoveling snow. That’s why it’s important to start slowly and gradually increase your level of activity.

Looking for the best family doctor practice around Davenport and Bettendorf? We are here to help you. Call us now for appointment.

Physical Benefits of an active lifestyle

Regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health. It can help:

  • Control your weight

  • Reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease

  • Reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome

  • Reduce your risk of some cancers

  • Strengthen your bones and muscles

  • Improve your mental health and mood

If you have a chronic health condition such as arthritis, diabetes, or heart disease, talk with your doctor to find out if your condition limits, in any way, your ability to be active. Then, work with your doctor to come up with a physical activity plan that matches your abilities. If your condition stops you from meeting the minimum Guidelines, try to do as much as you can. What’s important is that you avoid being inactive. Even 60 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity is good for you.

The Impact Of Nutrition On Your Health

Unhealthy eating habits have contributed to the obesity epidemic in the United States: about one-third of U.S. adults (33.8%) are obese and approximately 17% (or 12.5 million) of children and adolescents aged 2—19 years are obese.1 Even for people at a healthy weight, a poor diet is associated with major health risks that can cause illness and even death. These include heart disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and certain types of cancer. By making smart food choices, you can help protect yourself from these health problems.

Healthy Nutritional Tips

Follow these tips to get on the path to a healthy lifestyle.

  • Balance your meals

    • Include all food groups each day. Learn more at www.ChooseMyPlate.gov.

  • Drink Water

    • Stay hydrated by drinking water instead of sugary drinks. Keep a reusable water bottle with you to always have water on hand.

Good nutrition is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle. Combined with physical activity, your diet can help you to reach and maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk of chronic diseases (like heart disease and cancer), and promote your overall health. Healthy eating habits isn’t as confusing or as restrictive as many people imagine. The essential steps are to eat mostly foods derived from plants (vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes) and limit highly processed foods.

  • Maximize with nutrient-packed foods

    • Give your body the nutrients it needs by eating a variety of nutrient-packed food, including whole grains, lean protein, fruits and vegetables, and low-fat or fat-free dairy. Eat less food high in solid fats, added sugars, and sodium (salt).

  • Energize with grains

    • Your body’s quickest energy source comes from foods such as bread, pasta, oatmeal, cereals, and tortillas. Be sure to make at least half of your grain food choices whole-grain foods like whole-wheat bread or pasta and brown rice.

  • Power up with protein

    • Protein is essential for building and repairing muscle. Choose lean or low-fat cuts of beef or pork, and skinless chicken or turkey. Get your protein from seafood twice a week. Quality protein sources come from plant based foods, too.

  • Mix it up with plant protein foods

    • Variety is great! Choose beans and peas (kidney, pinto, black, or white beans; split peas; chickpeas; hummus), soy products (tofu, tempeh, veggie burgers), and unsalted nuts and seeds.

  • Vary your fruits and vegetables

    • Get the nutrients your body needs by eating a variety of colors, in various ways. Try blue, red, or black berries; red and yellow peppers; and dark greens like spinach and kale. Choose fresh, frozen, low-sodium canned, dried, or 100 percent juice options.

  • Don't forget dairy

    • Foods like fat-free and low-fat milk, cheese, yogurt, and fortified soy beverages (soymilk) help to build and maintain strong bones needed for everyday activities.

  • Know how much to eat

    • Get personalized nutrition information based on your age, gender, height, weight, current physical activity level, and other factors. Use SuperTracker to determine your calorie needs, plan a diet that’s right for you, and track progress toward your goals. Lean more at www.SuperTracker.usda.gov.

Processed foods

Processed foods aren’t just microwave meals and other ready meals. The term ‘processed food’ applies to any food that has been altered from its natural state in some way, either for safety reasons or convenience. This means you may be eating more processed food than you realise. Processed foods aren’t necessarily unhealthy, but anything that’s been processed may contain added salt, sugar and fat. One advantage of cooking food from scratch at home is that you know exactly what is going into it, including the amount of added salt or sugar. Looking for weight loss doctor, carbon cliff? Call us now.

A few examples of processed foods include: 

  • Canned and frozen fruits and vegetables

  • Packaged foods labeled “natural” or “organic,” such as cereals, fresh meat and poultry, and jarred baby foods

  • Foods with health and nutrition claims on the label, such as “may reduce risk of heart disease,” “low in fat” or “high in calcium”

  • Foods fortified with nutrients such as fiber, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids

Americans consume more packaged, processed foods per person than their counterparts in any other country, and it’s an issue all over the western world. But while processed foods are undeniably affordable and convenient, many also contain lots of fat, salt, and sugar — and, if you have diabetes, they probably shouldn’t be on your shopping list. The problem is that you might have them around out of habit, and then rely on them when you get hungry. “The best thing you can do is plan ahead,”

  • Foods prepared in quick-service and fine-dining restaurants, cafeterias and food courts, sports arenas, coffee shops and other locations

  • “convenience foods”, such as microwave meals or ready meals

  • drinks, such as milk or soft drinks

  • Food processing techniques include freezing, canning, baking, drying and pasteurizing products.

Processed Foods To avoid
Laden with sugar, preservatives, salt, and fat, these processed foods aren’t good for anyone, especially people with diabetes. Strike them from your shopping list and do your health a favour.

  • Chicken Nuggets

  • French Fries

  • Potato Chips

  • Processed Meats

  • Sugary Cereals

  • Soda

Because processed foods include such a wide range of products, their nutritional values vary widely, too. For instance, frozen vegetables can be more nutrient-rich than fresh because they are picked and frozen at their nutritional peak. Furthermore, processed foods that are fortified with vitamins, minerals or other nutrients can help people reach the recommended intake levels for those nutrients. An example is orange juice fortified with calcium and vitamin D. Some processed foods, such as fried foods, desserts and candy, supply calories but few other nutrients

Reading nutrition labels can help you choose between processed products and keep a check on the amount of processed foods you’re eating that are high in fat, salt and added sugars.

Obesity

According to the most recent data, adult obesity rates now exceed 35 percent in four states, 30 percent in 25 states and are above 20 percent in all states. Louisiana has the highest adult obesity rate at 36.2 percent and Colorado has the lowest at 20.2 percent. U.S. adult obesity rates decreased in four states (Minnesota, Montana, New York and Ohio), increased in two (Kansas and Kentucky) and remained stable in the rest, between 2014 and 2015. This marks the first time in the past decade that any states have experienced decreases — aside from a decline in Washington, D.C. in 2010.

Fast Facts
Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2009–2010

  • More than 2 in 3 adults are considered to be overweight or obese.

  • More than 1 in 3 adults are considered to be obese.

  • More than 1 in 20 adults are considered to have extreme obesity.

  • About one-third of children and adolescents ages 6 to 19 are considered to be overweight or obese.

  • More than 1 in 6 children and adolescents ages 6 to 19 are considered to be obese.

 

Overweight and obesity result from an energy imbalance. The body needs a certain amount of energy (calories) from food to keep up basic life functions. Body weight tends to remain the same when the number of calories eaten equals the number of calories the body uses or “burns.” Over time, when people eat and drink more calories than they burn, the energy balance tips toward weight gain, overweight, and obesity.

How do you help patient change their mind and thought process in order to be successful with their weight goal?

The mind is the place where everything begins and everything ends. When enlightened consciousness is in our mind we are free to do conscious thinking and make choices to determine our way. Compare this to the digestive system where food is digested and the circulation system where the heart pumps blood. We do not say we are digesting food or pumping blood because these two things happen automatically, subconsciously. Compared to these two systems, the mind gives us the choice to think consciously however ninety-five percent of the time thinking happens subconsciously, out of our control.

How does the use of 'Visualization Technique' help in the weight loss?

Visualization techniques are very powerful techniques to achieve any goals that you have and that is the power of imagination of the mind. We talk about the mind and how we can use it differently and this uses the power of imagination. For example, right now I’ll tell you to please avoid thinking for the next few seconds of the white colored lion sitting in the backseat of your car, in the parking lot. Now the lion is looking for you so he comes out of the car, crosses the parking lot, walks into the clinic, into the waiting room and now he’s in the corridor, about to knock down this door over. Don’t think about it. So now tell me what happened. I told you to not think about the white lion but you saw the white lion in spite of me telling you to not see it. So do you realize what happened?

How do you teach patients to make good food choices?

The most important aspect of weight management is to make healthy food choices. Not just while participating in the weight loss program but throughout your whole life. We try to train patients from the start to use their mind and to help them believe that they can do it, become healthier and make good food choices. An important thing we tell patients is that they use the power of allowance. For example, if they see unhealthy, indulgent foods and think to themselves, “I cannot have this.” It means that subconsciously they still want it but can’t have it, that they have not changed their way of thought. We advise you now that instead of thinking, “I cannot have this”, say clearly in your mind, “I can have this, I don’t want this.” So what is the difference here? “Cannot” means you are not allowing yourself and “I don’t want this” is an exercise of free will and free will is the most powerful thing over the mind. When you feel that you have allowed yourself to have something rather than depriving yourself of something that sensation of deprivation goes away.

During the weight loss program, first consultation and in the subsequent visits, we really enforce sincerely suggest living in the present moment. We discussed earlier how the mind functions and how it focuses on the past or future and how our present suffers because of that. Understand that the present moment is the only moment that you have right now, that you have to experience happiness, unhappiness or anything else and that is why you have to value this moment because the universe only exists at this time. Whatever the current time is, the few hours ago in the past do not exist anymore and neither do the next few. The universe only exists in this moment; you are here in this moment, and if your mind goes to the past or future, they do not exist.
