You raise an important topic, a challenge in today’s screen-saturated world. Children who spend excessive time in front of screens, rather than speaking and interacting directly with other human beings, can over time lose language and socialization skills. Day-to-day and hour-to-hour routine human interaction helps toddlers integrate things like…[Read more]

The reality is that “screens” are not going away – ever! But – with that said – there has to be a happy medium, just as in all other aspects of life. Everything in moderation! Electronics are extremely important and valuable to our everyday lives, but they have taken over face to face conversations and interactions that are vital to our health,…[Read more]

Have a look at the line-up for the 2018 Appalachian Festival Symposium.
It is sure to be informative.
Each of the topics relates back to the health of our community in one way of another.

I think the Appalachian Festival symposium will be most informative, interesting, and thought provoking and hope many people from the community attend.

Nicole Bradley posted an update in the group Pregnancy and Child Health 6 years, 6 months ago

I wanted to kick this group off with some discussion on what everyone had trouble with during their pregnancy, whether it is sticking to the guidelines (weight, diet, exercise, etc.), health issues (gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, PUPPP, HELLP syndrome, placenta previa, etc.), or any other topic related to pregnancy.

I personally struggled…[Read more]

Having a healthy baby is the outcome every mother wants. It’s so important to realize that our habits during pregnancy (like caffeine in your case) can influence outcomes, often times silently. The fact that you had good pre-natal care allowed you to learn about the things that were silently occurring, and change your behavior to avoid added…[Read more]

Thanks Nicole for posting your personal struggle with following the “one cup of coffee a day” rule. My personal struggle was choosing the healthier selection of foods for snacks and meals and also my portion sizes for these snacks and meals. Our days and weeks get busier and busier, and I believe it is more important now to exercise and eat…[Read more]
