Communication Is The Key To Good Healthcare (And All Other Relationships)

I love the following diagram:

What goes on in our heads and what we can express through our words to others in way they can understand or "get" is often a challenge. There's a big drop-off.

If you're my patient, I will to explain what you need to know as best I can. If it's unclear, tell me! Healthcare is a partnership for your betterment.

Diet To Prevent Dementia?

Can diet help keep your mind sharp and young as you age? Recent studies suggest that it can! It seems a good diet for your heart and joints is also good for your mind. Here are some findings:

Mediterranean Diet:
People who adhere to a Mediterranean diet have lower rates of Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease.

The Mediterranean diet emphasizes:

• Using herbs and spices instead of salt to flavor foods

• Limiting red meat to no more than a few times a month

• Eating fish and poultry at least twice a week

• Enjoying meals with family and friends

• Drinking red wine in moderation (optional)

• Getting plenty of exercise

• Green leafy vegetables (like spinach and salad greens): At least 6 servings a week

• Other vegetables: At least one a day

• Nuts: 5 servings a week

• Berries: 2 or more servings a week

• Beans: At least 3 servings a week

• Whole grains: 3 or more servings a day

• Fish: Once a week

• Poultry (like chicken or turkey): Two times a week

• Olive oil: Use it as your main cooking oil.

• Wine: One glass a day

• Red meat: Less than 4 servings a week

• Butter and margarine: Less than a tablespoon daily

• Cheese: Less than one serving a week

• Pastries and sweets: Less than 5 servings a week

• Fried or fast food: Less than one serving a week

MIND Diet:
Older people who followed the MIND diet showed less decline in memory and mental speed, and were less likely to have developed Alzheimer disease at 4.5-year follow-up.

A Day Of Teaching

Last Thursday I spent the day in Cherry HiIl, New Jeresey, teaching and training about 60 Chiropractic physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of the shoulder and upper extremity. I've been teaching Chiropractors for 30 years and love to share the knowledge and skills that I have obtained to help them help more people live better lives.

Children Shouldn't Specialize In One Sport

For years I've been sounding off on children having a diverse experience in athletics and not to specialize in one sport. Last month a report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) agreed with my view and laid out a list of detrimental effects of children specializing in specific sports.
They provided guidance to pediatricians, physicians, and parents on providing a healthy experience in youth sports. They provided the below pictograph outlining the recommendations:
