In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how convertibles can damage your hearing even causing hearing loss. The loud roar of the wind and the road as you’re cruising down the highway with the top down can be damaging your hearing to the point of being deaf according to a recent study. You can prevent damage by rolling the windows up in your car or wearing ear plugs. Which are probably good ideas, especially if you have some kids driving in the convertible with you.

Nurse Rob Luka’s New Book Helps Kids Overcome Fear of Doctors

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Rob Luka RN, author of the book How to Help Children Overcome Fear in a Medical Setting. Rob is a registered nurse with lots of first hand experience helping kids feel comfortable at the doctor’s office. A great tip Rob shared was for the parent to present a calm demeanor and not look frightened in front of the child. Rob says the child is looking to the parent for visual cues to let him/her know what is going on. So if the parent looks panicked then the child is going to feel scared as well. Rob also explained that having the parent demonstrate the procedure first the child can see that it isn’t so bad and will go along. this works especially well with showing your child how to swallow a pill or get his/her blood pressure taken. He has worked with lots of kids who have juvenile diabetes and has helped their families manage the regular injections and blood testing they have to deal with. His goal is to educate parents and nursing students on some proven techniques that will make children of all ages feel safer and less fearful in the doctor’s office.

The tips he shared about understanding who to believe when it comes to health and science claims was very informative.

Quit Your Crying Eat More Onions

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain why you should eat more onions. Sure if you don’t know how to chop an onion you’ll have tears running down your cheeks. But that is no excuse not to add onions to your diet. They have lots of health benefits like flavenoids which has been shown to help lower blood pressure, lower your risk of colon cancer and is an anti-bacterial. When picking out an onion avoid the ones that have sprouts coming out of them. And cooking them does lower the vitamin content a little bit. And don’t store them in the refrigerator either.

Dangers Lurking In Your Home

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy warn you about some dangers lurking in your home. If your shower curtain is made of PVC it might emit toxic fumes – which some people have a sensitivity to. Wipe down your laptop keyboard because it might have more germs than your bathroom has. Throw your kitchen sponge in the dishwasher regularly because over time that thing absorbs all kinds of germs. And wash out your towels and clothes in hot water . Dr Fitness likes to use bleach to clean up around the house – but I’m sure our “green” listeners have a better environmentally friendly solution. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
