my husband suffers from paralized diaphram for many years and he is getting worse with this breathing, and there is no hope. is there a research team for this condition?
i am most greatful with any suggestions or advise.
Thank you so very much and God Bless us all
Dear Ms. Pereiro,
Please send your contact information to: innovation@mayo.edu.

Well, I am so sorry to hear that olga, I hope your husband with be fine soon…
i agree it
While diet issues are usually not ‘healthcare’, the American diet does seem related to our public health.
Was consideration given covering issues diet, school lunches, nursing home meals….?
Steve, you bring up a great question. My personal opinion is that we all too often look for some external solution to our problems when sometimes the answer is right under our nose.
But our bodies are literally made up of the building blocks that we get from out food alone. So it would make sense that unless you provide your body with what it needs by means of food then all other efforts are really futile.
Very nice posting very informative thanks for sharing
I would agree that most diets do not work. But, I can personally atest to it that they do when you also do a moderately rigorous workout at least three times a week. Calorie control is the key to your weight-loss. And your key to keeping it off. I experimented with this and I will tell you after losing 20 lbs over 12 months, that even one month of eating whatever you want, you will gain weight.
Yes. You are right.
The key to weight loss is eat well and build more muscles.Work out atleast 4 times a week.Include weight training and gain more muscle mass.The muscles will in turn increase the metabolic rate thereby reducing weight.
This is the long term solution
People don not talk enough about weight training and weight loss. I my own experience the only success I had losing weight was when I lifting weights.
Why Japanese are so skinny comparing to Americans, first of all women? Is this DNA related or just food? I see a lot of TVCM in Japan which are all about diet. They have quite good and healthy food here. Women are already thin, but most of them think they are too fat and need to do diet, even though their weight is 40kg with 160cm.
It basically comes down to the fact that the American diet is based heavily on overly refined foods. We have found a way to literally remove all nutritional value from grains.
Symposium is a good thing
My mother works in health care and I’m sure she’d be really interested in this event. Minnesota is far for us though.
Hello CT!
If you cannot be there in person you can still watch the presentations on the web. We will be posting selected presentations online shortly after they are given. You can watch presentations from 2009 here: http://centerforinnovation.mayo.edu/transform/2009/speakers.html. I hope you enjoy them, and are inspired by them.
Very nice posting.Thanks for sharing
Such a relevant post, considering the current state of affairs.
I am glad to see people working on better delivery
Thank you for this information, I’ll be looking out for what Transform 2010 brings.
Hello. Just did some web searching and discovered this website. I went through this blog post and it is really great. I bookmarked it and i am looking forward to your upcoming blog posts. I also see that your blog has some good linking done to it. I was pondering if you’d like to share your techniques on how to get that pr. Anyways fantastic read again. Awesome info you got here.
Your ideas where really helpful and informative thanks.

What is the procedures to make an appointment with Mayo clinic?
You can make appointments at Mayo Clinic using our online tool: http://www.mayoclinic.org/patientinfo/appointments.html
Hello, and thank you for asking. Anyone can make an appointment to visit Mayo Clinic. You can find the process here; http://www.mayoclinic.org/becomingpat-rst/appointments.html
I just couldn’t leave your website before saying that I really enjoyed the quality information you offer. Will be back often to check up on new stuff you post!
Thank you
I really like your blog, the theme is good and the info you provide is really impressive, I am going to come back to check on the e info you put up, best of luck and keep up the good work.
Great event. Very informative. Hope there are many more to come
I just checked out the website. I’m so looking forward to seeing Patch Adams. Wow!
Very good read. Thank you for the insight!
The “Collaborative Symposium – health care delivery and how patients experience it” is such an important event because technology is changing the way that the medical field operates that you have to be exposed to everything. The power of information to affect people’s behavior and to improve the quality of health is as important in medical instrument care as it is the ER check in desk. By increasing the accessibility we will see improved medical care.
I agree Can be saved by other bands, but history system is basic and fundamental to our health and our way of life. Today, modern man is constantly in motion and typically do not need to take the folder of your medical records under his arm.
I was read this article and some related of your posts but I still can’t get what is Innovation and Health Care Experience and Delivery as you told. Perhaps I need read more
Thanks for share
I found this very informative. Dietary concerns are a major issue in my family and it’s good to remember sometimes i’m not alone in that.
Thank you so very much and God Bless us all!
Very Sorry I missed this Symposium. Any chance there will be another one soon, please keep me updated if possible. Many Thanks!
YES! Sept 12 through the 14th…Join us if you can!

Are there any materials of that symposium available? Where can I find them?
Thank you.
Yes. Please visit our web site. You can see all the 2009 videos on this page: http://centerforinnovation.mayo.edu/transform/2009/speakers.html. Videos from 2010 will be posted shortly after the event.
You may find information on our upcoming symposium, and our past Transform videos, here: http://centerforinnovation.mayo.edu/transform/
Thank you.
Very interesting information. Will be visiting this website again for updates, blog posts and comments.
is there any feedback on this event?
Prevention is the key to great health, so there needs to be focus on this aspect as well. We need to help people with the prevention of getting ill in the first place with improving diet, lifestyle changes, supplementation, etc.
There is way too much technology available today to not be able to produce some streamlined care delivery systems in the medical world. I hope the seminar is a success as we need some positive solutions in healthcare to help curb these rising costs.
Diets are not health care as we know it, but they can help when both is combined to give your self or relative in my case the best odds when fighting this.
I’d like to hear more on what the future of HealthCare holds for our seniors. We have the largest segment of the population getting ready to explode onto the healthcare scene. What is being done to make sure that adequate treatment will be available?
That’s a good point, and I haven’t heard of anything concrete being done to get ready for the boom in healthcare needs for this population.
I specialize in mrsa staph infection treatment and reported cases of the staph infection super-bug mrsa are up nearly 2000% in the last 10 years. Antibiotics are no longer entirely effective as the infection evolves, I believe that Infection Control should take a look at this before it gets much bigger than it already has become.
Thanks for the information, this was exactly what I was looking for
collaborative symposium is really an important event, technology in medical field not only change the thinking of man but it also improve the quality of our health.
Valuable information is provided, the use of technology in the health care is most important, i really appreciate your effort.
I extremely appreciate this efforts, I am curious about heart problems millions people are suffering through this problem.so how new technology would helpful for reducing the numbers of heart problems?
Diet very much comes under ‘health care’ after all, it is an area where everyone must take responsibility for themselves.
Diet although not related to health care still can help reduce obesity which is concerned concerned with health. The idea of technology in the health care field is appreciable.
Thanks

Obesity is one thing that health care systems should focus on due to the availability of large variety of fast foods. Obesity can be cured with implanting a device in the body.

When will medicare cover medical alert systems for seniors. It certainly falls in the category of health care and can prevent extended hospital times thus reducing the costs on the health care system.
I will definitely keep an eye out for the videos. The importance of Health Care cannot be stressed enough. I do hope that this symposium would cover issues especially for seniors and disease prevention.
When will the next event be?

You have to take a look at a innovative clinical designed Patient gown called the ECT Gown, The features on this gown helps the bedside care provider, increases Patient Satisfaction and may even help minimize HAIs by acting as a barrier. Keeping the lumen away from the Patients skin. Wonderful idea! Congradulations to the deveoper of the ECT Gown.
This post is very helpful. Our family is also concerned in aspects which involves health issues.
The obesity crisis is contributing to rising health care costs. Instead of focusing on treatment, I’d like to see more preventative measures being taken to reduce obesity and its related diseases.

The ECT Gown has received 100% positive endorsements in a number of hospital trials. Chief Nursing Officers, Clinical Value Analysis Committees, and a number of healthcare innovation forums have also recommended the gown. Different nursing specialties including ICU, Infection Control, Wound Care, Surgical, and others have confirmed the system-wide application of the ECT Gown.

The Government has moral duty to deliver a better healthcare system to its people. But the funds starved Governments in most of the countries find it difficult to fulfill their duty. Coordination between NGOs, Government, Corporate houses and other voluntary organizations can provide a good healthcare system to the people. Sickness free life is what the citizens need.
Improving health care practices and information as well as health awareness is really crucial.
I really like your blog, the theme is good and the info you provide is really impressive.
A multidisciplinary collaborative symposium its avery good idea
“A multidisciplinary collaborative symposium will inspire individual, organizational, and national collaborations that will unleash innovative thinking about health care delivery and how patients experience it.”
There is no question that we need innovative thinking about health care delivery. Having been associated with the health care industry for many years, I applaud the steps you are taking. There was a very interesting look at hiring practices for nurses and the support they were getting from a hospital in the east on Bill Moyers a couple of years ago. Talk about innovative thinking! They understood that patient care and delivery depends on the support the nurses receive and their nurse turn over was almost non existent. Whereas, the majority of hospitals today are facing staff burn out and turn over at an alarming rate. In fact many students are turning away from nursing and there is a chronic shortage of new nurses.
Thanks again for moving forward.
African Countries and Cameroon in particular are entering into the dance of Diabetes.The rates of people dying of diabetes both Type 1 and 2 are alarming.Diabetes which was at first thought to be a disease only for the rich or the wealthy class is now affecting everybody.I think wa have to do something in other to remedy the situation.
The number of responses indicate that your work is sacred.

I agree that symposium is good. It gives detailed and so many information about the topic. It is very helpful and gives positive effects and knowledge to the attendees.
I believe that symposium is great since it gives detail awareness to the participants and so as new ideas and information.
Are videos of the recent symposium available?
Yes, videos are online at http://centerforinnovation.mayo.edu/transform/
Thanks!
This was a great event that need to attend. Participants in this symposium will learn alot more information regarding the health care.
I love patch
Thanks for the info,
this will be a great event.
I fully agree, thanks for your input.
Thank you so very much and God Bless us all!
Thank you for this excellent information, the Mayo clinic certainly leads for innovation.
I have family members who experience chronic illness, hopefully I can get an explanation of how the cure in this event. Thanks. – Therapy
James,
This event is not directly speaking on illnesses and cures, rather thinking more innovatively on health care and delivery. Please visit http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/DiseasesIndex/DiseasesIndex and/or http://www.mayoclinic.org/

Thank you for this information,this will be a great event.the theme is good and the info you provide is really impressive.
I think one of the most innovative things in health you could do is to inform people about prevention, like one commenter here suggested about food and school lunches for example, but also to educate about natural forms of healing.
Drugs are usually not treating any causes, they are more focused around eliminating symptoms, so helping people to combat the causes for their illnesses would be very innovative for the health system.

I agree, drugs are not the solution. Prevention is.
this post is very informative. Diet issues are important especially nowadays…lots of chemicals and inorganic foods that are surrounding us… so you need to be aware… thanks for this post…
Great information, are there any more of these coming up? I will check back.
Thanks
I really like your blog, full of information. Very happy that some one is working on this important topic.
I like your blog and the topic you selected. I think one of the reason is bad dieting and also people’s eating and sleeping patterns, this will also make an serious impact on health…..
Hi Lee, the Collaborative Symposium on Innovation and Health Care Experience, certainly very useful for everyone, if only I could follow, it would be very useful for me, and hopefully this event go smoothly
Prevention is the key to the future of health care. One critical rol of new medicines will be prevention, treatment, and management of many diseases suffered by an the aging Baby Boomer generation. New, innovative medicines will assume an increasingly prominent role in the way we improve the quality of care for future generations. New pharmaceuticals are a vital part of the solution to this rapidly emerging issue.
Health Services is a service that is needed by many because every human society must have experienced pain, so the service is definitely needed by everyone. Health care technology was a lot of changes and growing so that health services become more leverage. ~ Kesehatan
Well done!
Very informative. I love the topic.Keep on posting!
Thanks or the post! I will surely share this to my folks!
Keep it up..
Great information, are there any more of these coming up? I will check back.
Thanks
Yes, Next year’s symposium will be Sept. 11-13, in Rochester, Minn. Registration will be up soon!
great post very informative
I know that my diet heavily influences how I feel. When I eat carbs my fibromyalgia flares up and I have pain so I understand the importance of diet. I basically use the Atkins diet.
I think one of the most innovative things in health you could do is to inform people about prevention, like one commenter here suggested about food and school lunches for example, but also to educate about natural forms of healing.
I think that symposium is excellent, because it provides information and understanding to individuals…From viewing the videos it looks like it was a great event. Keep up the good work and god bless
thanks for good subject

I live in chicago and just recently joined a boot camp which attend at least 3 times a week. It helps keep my energy levels up and stay in good shape. I have also changed my diet around for the better. Thank you for this very informative post.
There was a very interesting look at hiring practices for nurses and the support they were getting from a hospital in the east on Bill Moyers a couple of years ago.
interesting to prepare with technological advances is much needed in modern times due to the different pathologies that are constantly present in our lives…thanks again, I´m looking that sites you put above this comments…
I´ll see new updates later…
One thing that seems to be missing from dialogs on obesity and weight loss is that the education about overall health and weight seems to be restricted to upper levels of education and should surely be a subject for study in the lowest levels of learning. With the rate of obesity in the US reaching epidemic proportions, something really needs to be done in this area.
I will definitely Subscribe to the feed – thank you, I found this post very informative and agree that diet and exercise are the key to physical and mental health.
Healthcare is changing rapidly and the growth that it has gone through is enormous. When you mention healthcare and the experiences that people have as they go through their situations, one thong is for sure,they all experience healthcare differently. Even at the same hospitals and with the same professionals. Finding a constant is nearly impossible.
I think a fundamental question of all patients should be about their nutrition. Health begins with proper nutrition and fitness routines. Let’s fix it before it breaks!
Thanks for the info. I really like your blog and looking forward to reading more.
Thank you for bringing attention to the importance of healthcare.
Excellent symposium videos. Health care should be approached with a natural perspective before drugging folks up. Diet, exercise, and safe, natural nutritional programs with supplementation are a great way to prevent illnesses and increase overall well-being.
What are the statistics of people that have diabetes in other countries such as Europe?
If those of us in America took better care of ourselves I wonder how much we could bring down health care costs without depending on the government.
As long as a transformation is about preventative health care, I am all for it. Otherwise it’s not a transformation in the slightest
What a Nice Article!!

Very nice and interesting article. Thanks for posting.
Raw foods and exercise are the keys!!! Raw foods i.e. raw vegetables and raw fruits (not cooked, boiled, steamed)- eaten straight out of the grocery bag. You just have to wash them of course to get rid of some of the pesticides but eating these kinds of foods WOULD HAVE healing effects on our diseased bodies. I wholeheartedly believe that.
To be well, a person needs to be in a good frame of mind. I’ve noticed the doctors I have seen always seem to ask first “How is work?” and “How is your home life?”. There is a good medical reason they ask these questions.
Our health care system certainly needs some “Collaborative Symposium on Innovation and Health Care Experience and Delivery”. Thanks.
I wish we had more of these health care symposiums going on in the country. It’s such a heated issue with so many questions that we need answers like this!
I love coming to this blog. The posts are all very informative and the responses are well thought. Keep up the good work and I look forward to coming back
Pretty cool what you can see when roaming around the interweb.

Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation: 2010 Transform Symposium.

Is there any more planned symposiums or videos or recorded matrerial from previous ones we can access?
Yes. Videos are on Youtube, and on our website. http://centerforinnovation.mayo.edu/transform/
Transform 2011 will be Sept. 11-13.
I think a fundamental question of all patients should be about their nutrition.
Taking a different approach to health care is what you need to do if you want to regain your health if you are sick. I have found sticking just with western medicine is not the right move as they only focus on symptoms and not getting to the true cause of the problem.
By only focusing on symptoms this doesn’t allow the body to heal, as the root problem is never addressed. Alternative medicine does a much better job of doing this and you can achieve health faster. There is always a place for Western medicine and drugs, it is just not the be and end all it can be made out to be.
We need more collaboration across the spectrum to introduce new ideas and connect those who innovate
As someone who works with Fibromyalgia patients every day, let me tell you that I would estimate that fibromyalgia is a mind-body problem and therefore it must be treated in the same manner. We use Kundalini Yoga breathing techniques and inner body awareness to help the patient reconnect to the body with the sensory part of the brain. This seems to be more effective than the various pain pills that are marketed by pharmaceutical companies…
thanks for sharing,great day
It is good that the medicine is changing and developing so rapidly. Hopefully the whole world will benefit of it, eventually… one day…
Greg
Health is important, Thank you.
This sounds like it was a great conference. Any chance it was recorded?
Yes! All the videos of Transform 2010 can be found on youTube, and on our web site: http://centerforinnovation.mayo.edu/transform/
It’s so true healthy foods and diet is paramount to long life without disease. There are more people who are 100+ years old living in Okinawa,Japan than anywhere in the world. For many years they have been studied and it’s been found that these people eat only fresh vegetables,assorted beans,daily caught fish and all in proper portions. They never eat packaged or processed food. All there are vibrant and energetic in their old age able to do work of a 20yr old. These are lessons of a healthy eating lifestyle we can
all emulate with conscience effort for all around good health.
To be healthy, having a balanced, healthy nutrition is always a good start to keep our body fit. Thank you for sharing, Barbara.
Wow! Glad I stumbled on this website. This topic is something that truly interests me. I have been very passionate about health care, as I am a physician, and also on diet, nutrition, and preventative health care, and of course, good health care delivery. Too bad I missed the topics this year. Hope to attend next year in 2011. thanks again for this website.
the most important questions from patients is concerning about their mental health.
I applaud your efforts and enjoyed the videos at Center for innovation care. Change, even for the better is never easy. However, with collaboration of this magnitude health care as we know it just may be transformed. To the benefit of all.
I think the medical community needs to look at healing at a different level – the mind, the spirit and the body. They don’t work independently!
This blog is so informative. Thank you, and keep up this work.
I heard that it was a great event. Are there any plans for holding similar events in 2011?
Very nice and interesting article.Health is important, Thanks for posting.
When someone has checked into the hospital for an overnight stay that may turn into days or even weeks, is there anything that family members and friends can do to help with the care of their loved one that would relieve the nursing staff of some duties and cut the cost of the bill?
Also, I have an number of customers that ask me about gift baskets. What are some general guidelines to consider when friends and family want to send a gift of flowers, fruit or basket gifts to someone who is staying in the hospital?
Thank you
Mi piace venire a questo blog. I posti sono molto informativo e ben pensato risposte. Mantenere il buon lavoro e spero di tornare
Thanks for posting this. It was very helpful to me.
Will come back to check up news for the year 2011. There are a lot of interesting things going on in politics concerning health care so I’ll be interested in the opinions of world authorities to see what their views are regarding health care reform.
The timing of this symposium could never be better. We do need a transformational reform of the system. It is possible that by implementing this reform we might be able to clearly see how we can provide affordable health care to all citizens.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.. they are really interesting and
useful as well.. I would like to read more from you.
Thanks for the great content. Happy Holidays!
My personal opinion is that we all too often look for some external solution to our problems when sometimes the answer is right under our nose.
I’m facing by-pass surgery, so I’m searching for all the information on weight loss I can find. I will share it with others to help with their health and future life. Thank you.

Great post,,, that I like from this topic because the discussion is straightforward and detailed. Hope I still want to return to this page when there are new updates.
Thank you for your advice
I am glad to see people working on better delivery
An important part of the healthcare delivery needs to be security of patient records!
I think we need always look for ways to improve and make our health care system better. I am glad that there is a “meeting of the minds” event like this one to discuss ways we can improve our current system.
Thanks for sharing and the post.
The US should look to Australia’s health care system for inspiration, it isn’t perfect, but its perhaps most compatible with the existing state of affairs and melds private and public services together comparatively nicely.
Healthcare delivery in America is so very much in need of far-reaching reforms. A symposium such as this may well find the ideas and innovations that everyone needs, especially the financially disadvantaged. What worries me is the next step. The step that involves politicians. It’s sad to say but I have come to believe that politicos that truly care about the people they’ve been elected to represent are few and far between.
I am a firm believer in the combination of good diet and good fitness.
OK that sounds so obvious, but if it is obvious why is it that the major health problems we face today are mostly lifestyle related?
The attitude to diet and fitness today is poor, judging from the world statistics on things like obesity and Diabetes II.
Our lack of self disipline in this area is a serious drain on our county’s health services and financial status.
It seems to me that what was common sense 40-50 years ago is now quite uncommon
good beatifull comments 5-1-2011_4_57_18
The Institute of Medicine’s 2001 report Crossing the Quality Chasm argued for fundamental redesign of the U.S. health care system. Six years later, many health care organizations have embraced the report’s goals, but few have succeeded in making the substantial transformations needed to achieve those aims.
Taking a different approach to health care is what you need to do if you want to regain your health if you are sick. I have found sticking just with western medicine is not the right move as they only focus on symptoms and not getting to the true cause of the problem.
I wish that our local hospital here in our place will have the innovation same with your facilities

I believe that the majority of Americans have let themselves fall prey to over-scheduled lives where “nutrition” is replaced by the convenience of fast food. Time to slow down and eat better.
Protein consumption should be considered when planning a weight loss diet. Most people don’t consume enough protein in a normal diet and this becomes even more important when dieting.
Breakfast is often skipped in the fast paced world we live in, but this can be a real roadblock to steady and successful weight loss if you don’t eat the right kind of meal in the morning.
You’ll find more information about this plus 2 other great weight loss tips in my article ‘Three Powerful Tips for Healthy Weight Loss’.
Hope you will be delving into brain function and brain chemistry, as more research is focusing on problems with brain function being the source of most modern illness. As many have already expressed, it is time for each of us as individuals to take personal responsibility in our lifestyle practices and nutritional intake.
Healthcare delivery in America is so very much in need of far-reaching reforms. A symposium such as this may well find the ideas and innovations that everyone needs, especially the financially disadvantaged.
Do we want government intervention or do we wish the private sector to continue to run with the ball?
Either way we need to fix the you cherry picking that goes on by the insurance industry
Great site and good to see so much activity amongst the readers with a few useful comments here.
Thanks for the nice post about health care. Very informative.
Good physical health is important but so too is emotional health through human kindness. To feel accepted and cared for can do so much for the spirit which animates the will of the body to function is beyond the measure of drugs. Human touch caring, tender and sometimes even sensual (non sexual) can make a difference that words and good intentions often fail to deliver.
We have long sacrificed our health for the sake of convenience. Eating healthy is not difficult, but it is not as easy as fast food. Our health is suffering because of this.
Ironically, the modern man idea of health care is to cut down on the foods and what foods he chooses to eat. Where as, health care in other parts of the world involve making basic facilities and necessities available to them
Thanks for the useful information, I will repost it on my blog although it is not very relevant, but my viewers will appreciate it

The obesity epidemic i getting out of hand. Indeed a transformation is required but a transformation of the mind before the transformation of the body. The weight loss battle is first won in the head before it is won by the body. The solution is teaching children fundamental weight loss in schools. they must be able to know what works and what does not. They must understand how their bodies deal with fat. The answer to obesity is empowered knowledge and not another diet. Any thoughts on this?
I am all for transformation, but when it comes to health, it starts at the person. But, if this comes to change the way we approach health, then I am all for it!
Nice Article,
Chris
I agree with you.
We need to take care of us in the better way we can, we need changes but we have to be very careful too.
Hi…
Awesome! Reeally inspire individual, organizational, and national collaborations that will
unleash innovative thinking about health care delivery. Keep it up.
Good health attention from the public sector is always far more effective when the private sector assumes more responsibility for everyday good health practices.
Had a good look at the website and looks like the Mayo Clinic is indeed doing some phenomenal work in advancing knowledge in healthcare. i guess this is important as what is lacking is information. People need to be informed of what works and what does not. This is especially so when it comes to lifestyle information.
This is the kind of article that i admire because the aim is for helping others. Very informative article. Thanks for sharing.

You’re not the average blog writer, man. You definitely have something powerful to add to the web. Your design is so strong that you could almost get away with being a bad writer, but you’re even awesome at expressing what you have to say. Such a great blog. Ill be back for more.
I find it incredible that more blogs and forums are not as pleasant as this one. Often times when I land on a website page the articles and other content is so deficient that I move on without delay. That is not the case here. Thanks so much.
It’s great to see so many people engaging on this subject. Working in the medical field myself, it’s great to see that people actually care.
This is pretty interesting… I hope you don’t mind if I write about it on my blog and link back to you?
Thanks!
I believe a part of good mental health is daily exercise. Just moving your body through space makes one feel better on many levels. Especially moving through nature which for me has a cleansing effect both mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Plus movement is crucial for the physical body to keep it well tuned and toned.

Mayo clinic is the best resources place that i’ve found.
They always provide a latest research and information about health.
I just checked the website. Great information and looking forward to see more of this work.
Good health is achieved by eating healthy, no fast foods, processed foods and no fake butter such as margarine and drink plenty of water.
i just love articles like this. so informative.
what an informative article. nice to see
If we look back even just 100 years ago and contrast the diet and physical activity that our previous generations grew up on, its an education.
Just walk down the aisle of your supermarket in the breakfast cereals section. Artificially colored,flavored and over processed cereals and concoctions line the shelves.
We are offered empty calories and sugar filled diets at every turn. You need to be very selective about the quality of food you eat and the amount of exercise you perform if you want to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Get out and walk, ride a bicycle or just do 10 squats, a few lunges and as many push ups that you can a day to keep some muscle mass. You only need your own body weight to exercise – no equipment needed! So, there are no excuses for not exercising.

I Agree! You have a great blog, very interesting.
I think part of the solution is to look back into our history, I have been fooling the Paleo diet for a while and it really makes sense. Those of you who struggle to loose weight seriously follow this diet as it really works and is not fad but a life style choice.
I LOVE events like this, and especially listening to keynote speakers sharing their best ideas. Call me nerdy, but I get a real kick out of a collaboration of the greatest minds in any given field.

Innovative Thinking…
16th U.S. Surgeon General Commends American Dawn’s ECT Patient Gown As an innovation that may help to lower healthcare costs by reducing Hospital Acquired Infections. In his Keynote Address to the Fourth Annual Supplier Diversity Forum in Mechanicsville, Virginia on Wednesday Dr. David Satcher, M.D., Ph.D. talked about the need for creative products to meet the challenges of modern medicine. Dr. Satcher, former Surgeon General of the United States, singled out the New ECT Patient Gown manufactured exclusively by American Dawn, Inc. In speaking with the Critical Care Nurse who invented the patented, new gown, he learned that the advanced I.V. Gown is designed to help prevent Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs).
The ECT Gown, generously sized to fit most patients, reduces the need to stock multiple sizes, lowering inventory requirements. The competitively priced ECT patient gown has unique features that no other gown on the market provides. It promotes early post-surgical ambulation, a practice critical to avoiding expensive, life threatening complications and infections. The overlapping back design of the ECT Gown eliminates the need for the patient to wear two gowns for privacy and modesty issues, and the gown also allow nurses better visibility of medical devices from central lines to drains and feeding tubes, which improves caregiver efficiency and adds to the bottom line.
Addressing the Forum’s 176 healthcare product manufacturers, distributors, top officials from major hospital systems and Group Purchasing Organizations, Dr. Satcher, former Director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Assistant Secretary for Health, spoke of the need for excellence and creative thinking in reducing the overall cost of healthcare in the United States. He cited the ECT Gown from American Dawn as innovative, and as an example of added value that diverse suppliers can bring to hospitals and other healthcare providers to fortify the healthcare system in the United States.
The ECT Gown has received 100% positive endorsements in a number of hospital trials. Chief Nursing Officers, Clinical Value Analysis Committees, and a number of healthcare innovation forums have also recommended the gown. Different nursing specialties including ICU, Infection Control, Wound Care, Surgical, and others have confirmed the system-wide application of the ECT Gown.
yeah i agree with you, there is a massive demand for medical assistants in the us.
not only in the US, but in other developed countries like Australia as well – VERY high demand
