Power of Attorney for Healthcare: Everyone Needs One In collaboration with SIU School of Law Civil Practice Clinic for the Elderly, SIH Second Act members can now receive assistance completing or updating their Advanced Directives. What happens when you are in the hospital and unable to make your own decisions? Who will do this for you? It puts you in charge of deciding who can speak on your behalf, only in the situation when you cannot. Call 877.480.4040 to schedule an appointment to get your power of attorney for healthcare completed or updated. If you’ve been a patient of an SIH hospital service or SIH Medical Group, we can update this in your medical record.
Just Breathe Have you ever been stressed and your heart starts racing? When stressed, your body releases adrenaline, a hormone that causes your breathing, heart rate and blood pressure to spike. If you have too many of these stressful situations, it could lead to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. When you feel stressed, try these tips to help calm down and normalize your heart rate. Tensing & Relaxing Breathing Contracting your muscles distracts the mind from unwanted stressors. This technique should help decrease anxiety through interval relaxation. 1. Close your eyes, tense the muscles in your body, start at the top of your head, and finish at your toes. 2. Take slow, deep breath through your nose and hold it for four seconds. 3. Exhale through your mouth while slowly releasing all of the muscles in your body. 4. Repeat for 10 breaths. Abdominal Breathing Breathing with your diaphragm instead of your chest allows oxygen to go deep into your lungs. You'll know you're doing this correctly when your belly moves more than your chest. 1. Place one hand on your belly and the other hand on your chest. 2. Make sure you are sitting upright with good posture. 3. Breathe in through your nose for four counts. 4. Hold for one count. 5. Slowly release the air through pursed lips for four counts. 6. Repeat for 10 breaths. Source: Fitbit
