Just over 30 physician leaders from across the country were invited to attend the White House Physician Forum on Health Reform. These included deans of medical schools, CEOs of teaching hospitals, leaders in medical specialties, and practicing physicians including Chen Medical’s own Dr. Christopher Chen, M.D. They gathered on the third floor of the Old Executive Office Building to talk in very specific terms about ways to reduce health care costs, assure quality health care and improve the experience of practicing medicine in America. Dr. Chen had the opportunity to showcase Chen Medical’s unique model. A model which keeps costs low while providing top quality ...
Senior Activites
The YWCA is the logical place to check for Senior Exercise Programs and other senior citizen activities. Did you know that most local hospitals also have great activities for senior citizens? At Chen Medical, we have many! There are professionals on duty to supervise the types of exercises you need and can tolerate. Call your hospital for more information. Also ask your doctor for recommendations or referrals to senior activities, your insurance just MIGHT cover the cost.
Managing your blood-pressure
People with high blood pressure can benefit from aerobic exercise. A 45-minute run or power walk can lower blood pressure for up to 24 hours. If you can’t go as long as 45 minutes, start with what you can do and increase the time gradually. Other aerobic exercise can also help blood pressure as well as overall fitness. Choose what you enjoy. New research shows that strength training also helps control blood pressure.
Walking Vacation
All that strolling through the lines at Disneyland can actually help your health. Do research before making reservations to be sure there are walking opportunities near your hotel. Being active and keeping up your fitness walking improves your vacation. Plus, long walks are romantic!
Measuring Your Walking Exercises
Your car can actually help you in walking for exercise. Use your car’s odometer to measure a one or two mile route. Or you can use the approximate rule of ten city blocks equal one mile, to measure different walking routes. After all, you don’t want to walk the same route every day. Two miles per fitness walking course is a good start, or you can start with just one mile if you are a beginner. Working your way up to the preferred two miles per fitness walking course. You can add more miles as you progress.
