Yoga for Patients and Doctors

Image
Yoga is well-known for its fitness benefits, at least in the Western world. Traditionally, however, this ancient practice is a holistic process, improving both the mind and the body. It is no wonder that some doctors are prescribing yoga therapy for their patients. However, yoga can also be used to bolster your own health. Some CME cruises utilize onboard yoga sessions for their guest physicians, as part of theri onboard health and fitness program. Yoga and Patients Certain hospitals have begun recommending yoga therapy for their patients, such as the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The stances (asanas) and breathing exercises that are used in yoga are simple, yet this simplicity makes it easier for patients to follow. Yoga results in balanced metabolism, improved respiration, and cardio, increased muscle and reimbursed vitality.  Much has been said about yoga’s effects on mental health, yet despite documented improvements on patient self-efficacy, a conclusive approv

A physician's daily work benefits the lives of their patients. Their continuous efforts to provide proper care and medicine saves countless human lives. However, as human beings with wants, needs, and physical limits, medical practitioners need a rest every once in a while.

Image
Vacations are important for the busy workers of the modern world, even in the field of medicine. Ask yourself this: When was the last time you took a break? Two weeks ago? A month? Maybe even a year?

Bodybuilding with a Vegetarian Diet

Image
Yes -- it’s possible. When you’re trying to build muscle, it’s important to keep yourself open with diet variety. As Keto diets and protein diets with (impulsive amounts of chicken breast) have taken over in recent years, however, vegetable and plant-based food merely turned into a chicken breast’s side dish or food primarily served with a saucy steak. The preassumptions about vegetables degraded its reputation for building muscle. The truth? You can build muscle and burn significant amounts of fat with plant-based meals alone. Healthy CME river cruises are one of the ways doctors relive and rejuvenate their bodies while earning their CME credits. Take a look on Healthy MD CME’s destinations this 2020 at www.HealthyMDCME.com   You don’t actually have to switch your diet to a full-blown plant-based diet. Reserving at least 70-80% in your daily meal portions to hearty vegetables is already a good start. Plus, it gives you that extra glow that you can’t get from meat inclusive d

Promoting Healthy Living in Your Family

Image
Living a healthy lifestyle can be a challenge especially for doctors with families who also work long hours. But that doesn’t give you the excuse to influence your family to live a mediocre lifestyle. As a doctor with the primary advocacy as a doctor to maintain health, it’s your role to promote healthy living and provide them the best care that they can receive. Your presence is you and your family’s advantage. Promoting Healthy Living with Your Partner The best way to influence your kids in the pursuit of healthy living is by encouraging your partner of the lifestyle. You don’t actually have to “sell” the idea to your partner. By eating healthy, exercising, and doing regular meditation/reflection, you give your partner the idea that this “so-called healthy living” is possible. Alternatively, you may also opt to challenge each other for 30 days to induce a positive pressure that encourages each partner to eat, move and think healthy. Incorporating Healthy Living with Fun A

Choose The Cruise For You: CME River or Ocean Cruise?

Image
Study and have a vacation at the same time! Your typical continuing medical education cruise, or CME cruise , usually has this as a slogan. CME cruises are one of the more unique ways to garner CME credits as they provide a sense of balance between studying and having fun. Cruises with medical experts on board are not hard to come by nowadays, but you’ll have to choose between an ocean cruise or a river cruise. Here are some differences that can help you determine which type of cruise is for you: I. Mingling Aplenty If you’re someone that loves to socialize then a river cruise is right up your alley. Although socialization is not forced on a river cruise, because you will be on a smaller cruise ship,  you’ll have plenty of opportunity to mingle with guests. Your chance to get to know your fellow physicians and those that are in the same specialization as you is an opportunity you can’t simply miss. Besides socializing with your fellow physicians, you can even start a con

The Ability of Compatibility

Image
Compatibility isn’t just important in a loving relationship. Even for electronic health records (EHR), medical apps are in need of good compatibility. Why? It helps patients communicate and share data with other EHR software and medical systems. EHR’s importance on the healthcare industry can vary due to its usefulness in many instances. From times of emergencies to moments where someone loses their medical records printed on paper; EHR is indeed a benefit for the patient. But why is its compatibility important? Imagine yourself in the emergency room. Someone you know was hurt and was brought there because of an accident. Don’t worry, your friend is still alive. But you sense of dread as you see the doctor bring in medication that your acquaintance is allergic too. You panic. You didn’t know your acquaintance’s medical history but you know they have an app that has their complete medical history. You unlocked their password-less phone and opened SyncMD. The doctor thanke

Relaxation, Motivation, and Refortification?

Image
Relaxation, motivation, and refortification. Three things that you can achieve when you’re in a CME cruise for physicians. Although most continuing medical education (CME) cruises for physicians have gained popularity because of their advertisements on the balance of relaxation and motivation to study; refortification is lost within the balance. What Do You Mean by Refortification? Refortification is defined as “to fortify again.”  This can be seen by either to give physical strength, endurance or add mental or moral strength. Refortification isn’t a term commonly used when it comes to CME cruises for physicians. Most CME cruises that you will see advertises their own unique balance of relaxation and their courses during the cruise. However, a unique cruise that focuses on the three descriptions has recently come out. HealthyMD CME has achieved a unique brand that not only mixes relaxation and motivation to study but also adds the refortification. But How Does HealthyMD

How Cruises Are Changing in the ‘20s

Image
Just like technology, the cruise industry is growing at a rapid pace and showing evident changes in small to big aspects of the ship and the overall system. The cruise industry’s establishment in the 1900s evidently showcased one concept which is the ‘floating hotel’. This was popularized in the west by the White Star Line, the developer of Titanic. As the times changed, cruises started to become more innovative, creating specially themed cruises to CME river cruises with the old concept as a foundation. Cruises in the 1920s vs. 2020s  “The years between 1920 and 1940 were considered the most glamorous years for transatlantic passenger ships. These ships catered to the rich and famous who were seen enjoying luxurious settings on numerous newsreels viewed by the general public.” says the Cruise Line History. It was the time when it just started to become normal for cruise ships promoted ships to immigrants with the flourishing idea of elegance and luxury. By the end of 202

Mental Benefits of Boxing for Doctors

Image
It’s true: once you hit the gym for boxing, it’s going to be harder to give that addiction up. You’ll always crave for it once you stop for a while or when your off-training. The reason for this is the rush and fat-burning effects of having to move every part of your body. With the fast-paced quality of boxing, you barely feel that you’re exerting effort in all the parts of your body. The stress is more on focus and being in the present moment, ready to hit when the circumstances demand you to. Although there are a lot of ways to get into fitness (hitting the gym, going on a healthy MD CME cruise, getting a private instructor), there’s no sport that demands your attention than boxing. Focus: What Happens if You Don’t Pay Attention  You get hit. By an imaginary opponent in shadow boxing, by a heavy bag in bagging, by an instructor’s pad or an actual punch from actual sparring. When you don’t focus, you get punished by a memorable blow. I call it a memorable blow because even
