00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain some basic food safety tips so you can avoid food poisoning. Did you know that most bathrooms are cleaner than most kitchens – how gross is that? Millions of people each year go to the doctor because of a bout of food poisoning and millions more suffer without going to the doctor. Here are some easy tips for you to protect yourself and your family. Red meat shouldn’t be brown until after you cook it. Canned foods should be dented or have bulges. Bleach is your friend – use it on cutting boards, plastic drinking containers and kitchen counters. Buy a thermometer for your refrigerator and make sure it doesn’t dip below 40 degrees F. Foods in your freezer should be rock hard – not slushy. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Simple Things You Can Do To Keep Your Child Safe

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain some child safety tips. Sometimes its hard to keep your kid safe because they move so fast and are very slippery when they are wet. But here are some of the easy things you can do…Teach your kid to swim at a very young age. Now I’m not talking swimming lessons to make them the next Michael Phelps, I’m talking survival swim lessons, so they don’t drown if they accidentally fall into a pool, jacuzzi or bathtub. When you are teaching your child to ride his/her bike explain the importance of braking without crashing into things. In the car always buckle up – and make sure your kids know its never a good idea to thrown things in the car – a thrown object can distract the driver or the object can get stuck under the brake pedal under the drivers feet. Little kids also shouldn’t be handling lit fireworks. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Katie Neiman with FitFlops Talks About Dr Fitness’ Favorite Shoe, The Flip Flop With The Gym Built-in

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy opened the show with Katie Neiman with Dr Fitness’ favorite footwear Fit Flops. Katie explain that Fit Flops are the only footwear than comes with a gym built-in. These fashionable shoes activate your muscles as you walk – kind of like simulating walking while barefoot. These shoes blow away those old fashioned flip flops because they diffuse the pressure on your feet, while the old ones force your toes to hold the shoe on the foot which is uncomfortable after awhile. These are not your mother’s sandals – they look great, they give you a hidden workout. They combine fashion with function and since the FitFlop makes sure your foot is always kept in the right position the 26 bones that make up your foot are all aligned properly. Dr Fitness insists that these will be the most comfortable pair of flip flops you will ever own. They have a kids line coming soon and have lots of different styles to choose from. You can try them on for yourself at Macy’s Nordstrom, Lady FootLocker and other great shoe stores or get them online at Zappos. Go to their website and see why Oprah put these shoes on her Top 10 list www.fitflop.com
