Whidbey Island Healthcare Guide 2016

Easy tips for keeping kids active this summer With the school year complete, kids are excited to relax after a year of hard work, learning and extracurricular activities. However, this may lead to the temptation of sitting on the couch watching

TV or playing on a computer or mobile device.

In fact, a recent survey conducted by Dr Pepper Snapple Group's Let's Play initiative found that only 33 percent of children

participate in daily active play, and for 30 minutes less than the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends. It's important for kids to get daily active play because it contributes to

their physical, emotional and social development, and helps them maintain a healthy lifestyle.

To ensure kids get the active play they need this summer, try CONTINUED ON A3

Whidbey Island Healthcare Guide 2016 Why do hearing aids cost so much?

One reason is that manufacturers continually conduct extensive research to develop state-of-the-art technology, which makes hearing aids sophisticated and user friendly.

An experienced doctor of audiology (Au.D.) is key to understanding this technology, correctly assessing a patient’s needs and providing customfitted, quality hearing aids that will address hearing loss and help change lives.

How do I find a great doctor of audiology?

Ask friends and other doctors for references, and consider community recognition awards.

Dr. Kristine Jarrell has been providing personalized hearing care services for over 20 years and has a commitment to excel-

Dr. Kristine Jarrell Voted Whidbey Island’s most trusted audiologist three years in a row!

Dr. Jarrell has been serving the Whidbey Island community with quality hearing care for over 20 years. She provides a full range of audiological services and is dedicated to

lence and patient satisfaction.

Her patients love her — she has been voted Best of Whidbey Top Audiologist three years in a row.

— Provided by Hearing Health Services What is the difference between a doula and a midwife?

Most people have heard of what a midwife does. They are the people that do all the medical stuff for pregnancy, including delivering the baby. They can even do your yearly female exams.

So how is a doula different?

The biggest difference is that a doula does nothing medical. As a doula, I will never check the position of the baby, or suggest a medical test. What a doula does do is provide resources and information so that you can make informed decisions for

I help you prepare for your birth by helping you to build a plan. I then support you and your partner during the labor and birth based on your birth plan.

I bring the knowledge of over 20 years of birth support as well as that of a childbirth educator and from various continuing education courses I have taken.

Once you have the baby, a postpartum doula helps with the transition period of becoming a family.

We will help with baby feeding questions, baby care, cooking, running errands, mommy care and other things as agreed upon during our pre-delivery meeting.

So, in short, a doula does nothing medical.

We attend births in a hospital, a home, or at a birthing center.

I would love to talk to you more about what a doula can do for you.

What is a life doula?

We have all been there, you know, coming home from the hospital with no one to help with cooking or personal care.

Then there are the times that you are just too overwhelmed with life and don't have time to cook meals for the week.

When your loved one is at the end of their life, you could really use an extra set of hands to help with what needs to be done, someone who understands.

I prepare meals in your home, run errands for you, do light house keeping, sit by the bedside so that you can get a break and am there to listen when you need someone that understands.

I have supported families with ALS, Parkinson's disease, mitochondrial disease and cancer, as well as those who are at the end of life, and those who are just so busy they don't have time to cook a meal.

What I do for each family varies depending on what the family needs and wants. I would love to talk with you more about how I can help you.

Refresh, restore and repair your health When it comes to your overall health, taking simple steps to keep yourself in good shape is key. Regardless of age or physical ability, practicing healthy habits can help improve both your physical and mental states, and lead to a happier, healthier lifestyle.

Whether it's working a quick, refreshing yoga session into your daily routine, restoring energy with a nutritious snack or repairing your oral health, there are countless things you can do to improve your overall health and wellness.

Take a step in the right direction and put your health first with some of these simple tips: Keep your mind sharp

Research shows that you can keep cognitive function strong with mental stimulation. Complet-

ing crossword puzzles, reading or challenging yourself with brain games like Sudoku or Mah Jongg can help boost memory and brain power.

Lower your stress level

Take stress levels seriously. Try managing it by focusing on hobbies or activities you find calming, like reading or listening to music.

You can also try practicing relaxation techniques, including meditation and breathing exercises.

Help repair your oral health

Practicing proper oral hygiene and using the right tools are simple ways to improve your oral health. The American Dental Association recommends brushing twice daily for two minutes and

flossing daily.

Eat a well-balanced diet

Research supports eating a well-balanced diet of vitamin and mineral-rich foods can be beneficial to your health.

Opting to cook at home rather than going out to eat is an easy way to maintain those healthy eating habits.

You can also try different cooking methods, such as steaming or modifying recipes to reduce sugar, salt and fat to help manage and sustain your diet changes.

You can also supplement a multivitamin if necessary.

Make time for a workout Finding the motivation to hit the gym is the hardest part of working out.

If you make working out and taking care of yourself a priority, you can feel your best and also help set a good example for your children.

Practice good sleeping habits

The National Sleep Foundation recommends adults get 7-9 hours of sleep each night.

Staying on a regular sleep schedule, keeping your sleep environment cool, dark and quiet, and avoiding napping for too long or too late in the day can help you make sure you're getting the proper amount.

With these simple tips and tricks, you can finally put you first, contributing to better overall health. — Family Features
