In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share their caramel apple recipe. Caramel apples are a great healthy snack anytime. The aren’t so bad – calorie wise and they contain an apple for a health bonus. There should be more candy fruit combinations. The hard part in this recipe is fining the wooden sticks that go in the apples. You can pick any apple – Dr Fitness likes the big Granny Smith apples. You make the caramel by mixing together granulated sugar, corn syrup, hand and half, vanilla extract in a pot and bring to a slow boil. Keep stirring – slowly then add the apples. Place the apples on some wax paper and let cool. You can add crushed nut to take it up a notch or eat just plain. the plain caramel apples have about 220 calories each.

How to Clean Your Fruits and Vegetables

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how to clean your produce. Cleaning your fruits and vegetables are so important these days. Not a week goes by without some story about food poisoning. Getting rid of pesticides is pretty easy if you use just plain tap water. Getting rid of micro organisms like e coli and other germs takes a little more – a water with vinegar mixture should do the trick – use about 10% vinegar in a spray bottle and spritz the heck out of your produce then rinse them off with water. The friction from rubbing the produce and cleaning them gets rid of the bad stuff. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Does Sitting on An Exercise Ball Improve Your Posture?

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how sitting on an exercise ball does not help your posture. It has long be thought that replacing your desk chair for an exercise ball was a good way to improve your posture. This has not been shown to be true. While you may improve your core strength a little and burn more calories than if you are sitting in a chair your posture does not improve. Actually your posture gets worse because of the way your spinal column is stressed in the ball sitting position – it increases the amount you slouch. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Kim Bunker is from the South…just barely. Growing up in Kentucky, she attended the University of Kentucky for her nursing degree. She did a little “missionary work” in the north (New York and New Jersey), and spent time in Florida before settling in Atlanta in 2004. She spent a good bit of her career in a clinical environment, including time in the ICU. During her time in acute clinical medicine, it became apparent to her, just as to last week’s guest, Angela Thomas, that there was a great need for patient advocacy on a more personal level. Five years ago this month, Kim started her company, Southern Cross Professional Nurse Consulting. Though she started out providing legal nurse consulting to attorneys, she was quickly overwhelmed with requests for assistance from families in the areas of both forensic nursing and geriatric care management. Look for an upcoming show with Kim focused on the fascinating topic of forensic nursing! In the mean time, you can contact Kim at (770) 317-8244, or via email at kimbunker@gmail.com.
