VOLUME 9

an employee & physician centered publication of medical west

As you may know, February is National Heart Month. This month focuses on the importance of protecting yourselves and others from heart disease. It’s about learning how to live a healthier, heart-friendly lifestyle and being aware of each of the risk factors associated with the number one cause of death in the U.S.

Last Friday we celebrated National Wear Red Day, in which employees were invited to dress in red or wear a red ribbon to show support and awareness for women’s heart health. A group photo was taken and special heart-themed refreshments were provided by Food Services. Thank you to all who participated – see page 9 for the photo!

We will also host our first Senior Care Luncheon of 2018

on Thursday, February 8th at the Bessemer Civic Center. Guests will enjoy lunch and a special presentation from Medical West Cardiologist, Dr. William Fonbah. They will also be able to participate in blood pressure and BMI screenings as well as CPR demonstrations from the American Heart Association.

For those participating in Scale Back Alabama, I congratulate you on taking steps to improve your overall heart health through exercise and healthy eating. Best of luck to each of you! Even if you are not participating in Scale Back Alabama, I encourage you to start the new year by making healthy choices. Whether it’s trying the weekly Scale Back Special in the Cafeteria or walking during your breaks (see the Medical West Walking Map on page 3), adapting these small changes to your

daily routine are sure to make you feel better mentally and physically.

Lastly, we are excited to be a sponsor again this year for the American Heart Association’s Birmingham Heart Walk. The Heart Walk will take place on Saturday, June 9th at the Uptown Entertainment District in Downtown Birmingham. Stay tuned for ways you can participate!

I hope we can take the opportunity this month to become more aware of our hearts and take any steps necessary to prevent heart disease in ourselves, our families and the patients we care for.

Thank you for all you do,

Keith PenningtonMedical West CEO

POB SQUARE HOSPITAL STROLL SCENIC ROUTEDISTANCE: ½ MILE - INDOOR

(6 - 15 minutes)

Head up to the 3rd, 4th, or 5th Floors of the Professional Office Building (POB) to enjoy this quiet, easy stroll. 13 laps around one floor = ½ mile. If you would like a bit harder of a workout, try dividing the 13 laps between different floors and use the stairs to get from one floor to another.

DISTANCE: 1 MILE - INDOOR(12 - 25 minutes)

Begin your walk at the Parking Deck Entrance by the Emergency Department. Turn right onto the main hallway, passing Purchasing, both sets of elevators, and continue towards the POB. Pass the Cafeteria on your right and end your walk at the Parking Lot Entrance to the POB. Complete this path 8 times (4 times round trip) to cover 1 mile.

DISTANCE: 1 MILE - OUTDOOR(12-25 minutes)

This outdoor stroll starts in the staff parking lot behind the Warehouse and Wound Center. Simply follow the perimeter of the parking lot a total of 10 times to complete 1 mile.

The Healthy Facts of WALKING

Walking is one of the simplest and safest aerobic exercises you can do. It will help you strengthen your bones, control your weight, and condition your heart and lungs.

Being consistent in your walking exercise routine is one of the most important factors in developing a healthy physical activity program. Research has shown that people who walk approximately 20-25 miles per week outlive those who don’t walk by several years.

Here are some quick facts about walking:

• On average, every minute of walking can extend your life by 1.5 to 2 minutes.

• Walking an extra 20 minutes each day will burn off 7 pounds of body fat per year.

• To burn off 1 plain M&M candy, you need to walk the full length of a football field.

• Longer, moderately-paced daily walks (40 minutes at 60% to 65% maximum heart rate) are best for losing weight.

• Shorter, faster walks (20-25 minutes at 75% to 85% maximum heart rate) are best for conditioning your heart and lungs.

• BE REALISTIC: Remember to be realistic with your expectations of yourself and the process. Habits will not change (and weight loss will not happen) overnight. If you hit a plateau, switch things up a bit and keep going.

• SET A TIMELINE: Setting an amount of time to achieve your goal keeps you focused on taking one step at a time. You’ll need to lose a little over 1 pound per week to meet your SBA goal.

Visit scalebackalabama.com and download our free app for more tips and support. Be sure to connect with us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest to see how others are getting started and for program updates. Let’s go!

source: http://scalebackalabama.com

YOU! Support from your partner, family, and friends will help to keep you encouraged and working towards your goals. Logging your progress in the SBA phone app (available for iPhone or Android) can also help keep you motivated and on track to reaching your goals! The App can also calculate how many calories you should consume per day to reach your weight loss goals, and not sabotage your weight loss efforts.

• BE ACTIVE: Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week (generally, you have to burn 500 extra calories per day to lose one pound per week)! Anything that gets your heart rate up counts as physical activity and you don’t have to do all 30 minutes at once. Try taking the stairs instead of the elevator, walking to lunch, walking during your breaks, parking farther away than usual, or riding your bike to work to squeeze in your physical activity each day – no gym membership required!

Congratulations on taking the first step in taking back your health by joining Scale Back Alabama (SBA)! As you and your partner gear up to shed those extra pounds, remember that setting small, attainable goals will have a big impact on your health! Losing 10 pounds over 9 weeks may seem daunting, but you CAN do it! Set yourself up for success by keeping these tips in mind:

• KEEP IT SIMPLE: Simple adjustments to your daily routine are much more manageable than trying to change your routine completely. You’ll be more likely to continue the changes if they aren’t too different from what you normally do. Try drinking water instead of soda, including a vegetable with two of your meals each day, walking to lunch or on your work breaks, or eating smaller portions. Adding one or two simple goals at a time will add up to big lifestyle changes!

• STAY MOTIVATED: Work with your support system to keep your eye on the prize – a healthier, happier,
