How Well Are You Sleeping?

-

You may know that sleep plays a vital role on your physical and mental health, but you may be wondering if you're truly sleeping well.



On average, an adult needs between 7-9 hours of sleep to feel well rested, however this can vary depending on the individual. Some people may feel great with 6-7 hours of sleep each night where others need 8 or 9. Figure out what works best for you by tracking how much sleep you're getting and how you're feeling the following day.

Some other important factors for healthy sleep include:

1.) You fall asleep within 15-20 minutes of lying down.

2.) You regularly sleep a total of 7-9 hours in a 24 hour period.

3.) While in bed your sleep is continuous and you aren't lying awake for extended stretches.

4,) You wake up feeling refreshed.

5.) You feel alert and able to be productive during your waking hours.

6.) You don't exhibit any out of the ordinary behaviors such as snoring, restlessness, or pauses in breathing.

Are You Up-to-Date on Your Breast Cancer Screening?

-
Image
  October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - a good time to make sure you're up to date on your screening.  For people at average risk, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends a mammogram every two years from age 40 through 74. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast that can find breast cancer before there are signs or symptoms. Other organizations have different recommendations, including annual screenings in some cases, so your healthcare provider can help you decide on the schedule that is best for you. Recommendations may be different for people with a family history of breast cancer, certain genetic risks, or other factors .  If you aren't sure when you're due, it's okay. You don't need to memorize the guidelines or your history. Check your patient portal or call your provider's office to find out the date of your last mammogram.  So the next time you see a pretty pink ribbon honoring Breast Cancer Awareness, let it be a reminder to ask: is it tim...

Core Strength for Everyday Life

-
Image
  This week, we're celebrating the importance of core strength! Your core includes muscles in your abdomen, back, and pelvis, and those muscles help support you through all kinds of everyday movement. A stronger core can help with balance, posture, lifting, carrying, bending, and even just sitting or standing for a long period of time. It can also make activities like gardening, walking, shoveling, playing with kids, or carrying groceries feel a little easier.  Here are some simple movements that can fit into the day pretty easily: Practice balance. Stand on one foot while brushing your teeth or waiting for the coffee to brew. Keep a hand near the counter if you need it.  Carry something on one side. A grocery bag, tote bag, or other manageable weight carried in one hand asks your core to help keep you upright. Switch sides after a short distance.  Do a desk push. Stand and place your hands on a table or desk. Try to push the surface to the ground. You should feel y...

Seasonal Vaccinations for a Better Winter

-
Image
  Vaccination is a simple, safe, and effective way of protecting you against harmful diseases, before you come into contact with them. It uses your body’s natural defenses to build resistance to specific infections and makes your immune system stronger. Vaccines train your immune system to create antibodies, just as it does when it’s exposed to a disease. However, because vaccines contain only killed or weakened forms of germs like viruses or bacteria, they do not cause the disease or put you at risk of its complications. Since vaccines were introduced, diseases like polio that used to kill or disable millions of people are either gone or are now very rarely seen. However, if people stop having vaccines, it's possible for infectious diseases to quickly spread again. Even diseases that feel mundane can cause big problems. For instance,  flu complications  can include bacterial pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as ...
