Secrets to Body, Mind, and Spirit in Balance for the Holidays
This health tip is brought to you by Kay Judge, MD and Maxine Barish-Wreden, MD, Co-Medical Directors of Sutter Downtown Integrative Health Care. Visit our website to learn more. http://checksutterfirst.org...
5 Secrets for Keeping Your Body in Balance
  • Move your body every day – jog, cycle, do yoga, lift weights, swim, etc. 
  • Eat lots of fruits and veggies – especially the holiday colors – red and green!
  • Take your multi-vitamin and vitamin D every day.
  • Get plenty of rest.
  • Drink lots of warm liquids, including green tea.
5 Secrets for Keeping Your Mind in Balance
  • Set an intention for what you want this holiday season and visualize it in great detail – make a collage of what you see.
  • Write out and release what’s been stressful.
  • Give up perfection and enjoy what’s right in front of you.
  • Reframe the difficult stuff – redefine it as a learning experience that has made you stronger and more compassionate.
  • Meditate, do yoga, breathe deeply – bring yourself into the present moment, in your body, in the now.
 5 Secrets for Keeping Your Spirit in Balance
  • Keep a gratitude list everyday and take stock of all of the good that comes into your life (hint: it FAR outweighs the “bad”). Say “Thank You” – a lot!
  • Stop and notice all of the beauty all around you – it only takes a second or two.
  • Listen to the guidance from your inner teacher, and follow her directions!
  • Sing, laugh, and dance as much as possible.
  • Answer this question: What would make this the best holiday of my life?   Then, go for it!

During her eighth week of pregnancy, Yolanda was put on bed rest and had weekly doctor appointments to monitor her pregnancy. She did not mind this because two years ago, she miscarried her first baby at 22 weeks. It was then she learned that she had an incompetent cervix, meaning her cervix would not have the strength to keep the baby in the uterus until her baby was full term.
 
At 23 weeks Yolanda was admitted to the high-risk maternity unit at Sutter Memorial Hospital so she and her baby could be monitored around-the-clock. “I’ll do whatever it takes to keep my baby healthy,” says Yolanda. “The high-risk unit has the best team of nurses because they understand what you are going through.”

Donna: Open Heart Surgery After Stroke and Heart Tumor
The first sign that something was wrong with Donna happened after one of her marathons.  “I felt unusually sick,” she said.  “I’m always tired after marathons, but this was different.”  Since she has been healthy and extremely fit her entire life, 44-year old Donna dismissed her feelings as an isolated reaction. 
About a year later, Donna got the second sign that something was wrong.  “It was a really hot day,” Donna described.  “We were barbequing. I was running around to get everything ready for the meal.  Then I became extremely dizzy and sick.  I told my son to get my husband since I thought I was about to pass out.  It was awful.  I collapsed on the couch.”

With spooky costumes and gooey treats, Halloween is a great time for kids of all ages. As the big day approaches, Children's Center at Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento recommend these simple "tricks" for parents who want to keep their little ghouls and goblins from OD'ing on candy this year. There are also several things "groan-ups" can do to make Halloween as safe as possible.

1. Enjoy the Day
Childhood obesity is growing medical crisis but it's OK to let your kids indulge a little bit.
 
2. Fill 'em up
Serve your kids a healthy dinner (with foods they like) before trick-or-treating, so they won't be as tempted to eat candy before you have a chance to inspect it.
 
3. Safety First
Halloween night is no different when it comes to safety. Parents should trick-or-treat with young children at all times and all trick-or-treaters should have flashlights. Don't forget a charged mobile phone for emergencies.

As soon as she was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, 46-year-old Kimberly was determined to beat the disease and return to a normal, healthy life. Her oncologist, Dr. Uma Gowda, recommended a mastectomy – either removing only the left breast, which had the tumor, or removing both breasts. “It was an easy decision,” Kimberly said. “I opted for the double mastectomy.”
