A Parent's Guide to Preventable Diseases
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), children under 5 are especially susceptible to disease because their immune systems have not built up the necessary defenses to fight infection. By immunizing on time (by age 2), you can protect your child from disease and also protect others at school or daycare.
Relieve the Pain with the Right Diagnosis
“Four out of five Americans will suffer from back pain at least once in their lifetime,” says Jerry Gonzalez RN Director of the Neuroscience Unit at Las Palmas Medical Center. Next to headaches, the back is the most common location for pain in the human body, but everyone's back pain is different, says Gonzalez. Whether you suffer from chronic or even occasional back pain, you need to know the cause and how to stop it, which means you need the right diagnosis and treatment.
The best lunches for your kids are those packed with brain-food to keep them alert and learning. A balance of protein, vitamins, carbohydrates, fiber and fats will help your child get the most nutrition out of the calories he or she consumes. Heart healthy choices are the best for anyone of any age, but especially important during childhood as the healthy habits your child establishes now will remain throughout a lifetime.
