Medical Fact
"I didn't know that!" |
People who laugh a lot are much healthier than those who don't. Dr. Lee Berk at the Loma Linda School of Public Health in California found that laughing lowers levels of stress hormones, and strengthens the immune system. Six-year-olds have it best - they laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day. |

Healthy Living: Eating on the Run |
Healthy eating habits and a healthy lifestyle is still possible to maintain even when you are traveling or not in your home surroundings. You can choose healthy options when you need to eat quickly and on the run. Following is a basic guide on choosing the best selections:
- Watch portion sizes. Most fast food options are so "oversized" its enough food for several people. Try to order the regular, or kids size meals to avoid over-eating.
- Look for deli food options rather than fried food restaurants. Ordering a sandwich with lean meats and whole wheat bread is a much better selection than fried food chains.
- Many fast food restaurants now offer healthy side options - salads, baked potatoes, yogurts. Try to opt for these options as an alternative to french fries and onion rings.
- Keep your chicken healthy. Many chicken options are breaded and fried, on white bread - which is worse than eating a burger. Choose grilled or boiled chicken.
- Always order a side salad to fill you up and add fiber and vitamins to your diet (deterring you from over-indulging). Avoid the creamy and oily dressings.
- Always eat something healthy before you leave the house to keep you full and help avoid temptation. Some options include yogurt, fruit, bowl of cereal, protein bar...
- Keep water and healthy snacks in your car to munch on before the cravings take over.
- Shop the supermarkets for your fast food meal. Most supermarkets offer freshly prepared healthy/organic foods, washed fruits and vegetables, yogurts and even sushi options for people "on-the-go".
- Forego the mayo and dressings - they add hidden calories and fat to a meal.
- Choose water as your beverage of choice and avoid the sugary options. Water will fill you up, is calorie free and will not add hundreds of calories to your meal.
In addition to eating right when away from home, try to incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Walk rather than drive, use the stairs, use your body weight for strength training (push-ups, sit-ups, lunges) and seek activities that keep you moving. |
| Meet the Staff | |
This month we highlight Katie Wiley, clinician for The Rubino OB/GYN Group.
Katie has been a patient of The Rubino OB/GYN Group for fourteen years and a happy employee for nearly eight years. Katie has been focused with her career in the medical field and continues her schooling. The staff is always teasing her for running around the office like a robot as she does a little of EVERYTHING, including assisting Dr. Romero with her specialty in Urogynecology.
Katie is always content while busily bouncing from office to office, making her time pass quickly, which is the way she likes it.
As a mom of a three year old, Katie enjoys the relationships she develops while seeing patients throughout their pregnancy or when they require extended medical attention. For her, it is most rewarding to be able to talk to some of the first time moms and lend them an ear. She says "as most of us moms experience a little bit of a hard time getting adjusted to motherhood, sometimes it's nice to talk and feel like you can relate to another person who has been there." As a busy working mother, Katie finds the right balance of work life and home life. She is an amazing asset to The Rubino OB/GYN Group. |
