How To Prevent Falling At Home

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explains how to protect yourself from falling in your home. Broken hips are one of the most common reasons seniors are hospitalized and incapacitated. Some of the ways to prevent falling at home, (which is a common reason seniors break their hips) are: to get rid of loose rugs in the house; also make sure stairs are well lit and clear of any object; put handrails in the showers, keep a flashlight near the bed for those late night trips to the bathroom; and put slip resistant trugs in the bathrooms.

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Leslie Bonci, sports Dietitian for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pittsburgh Penguins and the Pittsburgh Pirates. She is also the author of the new book Sports Nutrition for Coaches. On the show she shared some great nutrition tips for athletes and their trainers. Some of the common mistakes she said that trainers make with their athletes are not giving them enough information regarding how food and fluids can improve their performance. She says that since different sports have different metabolic demands that each athletes food and fluid requirements are different – so it is important to eat and drink for your needs. She also said that their is too much emphasis on protein consumption and not enough on eating carbohydrates. She isn’t a big fan of not eating before workouts then drinking protein shakes afterward. She says trainers also have to be aware of eating disorders in athletes especially those in weight class sports like wrestling and gymnastics. She says planning meals before working out is critical.

Why Cruise Ships Can Make You Sick

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy details how you can protect yourself from cruise ship germs. A recent report on the cleanliness of cruise public bathrooms uncovered some disturbing things. While the bathrooms look visibly clean only about half the bathrooms were properly disinfected. The germs found in the bathrooms could have been the cause of the recent outbreak of stomach illnesses on cruises. So remember when you are on a cruise or in any public bathroom make usre to wash your hands thoroughly with soap, water and lots of rubbing. The friction from rubbing your hands together with the soapy water is what gets rid of the germs. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Elizabeth Gordon interviews Image Consultant Laurie Mondato on the Chic Perspectives Show

00:00 / 0:21:42

Today on The Chic Perspectives Show, I had on Wardrobe and Style Consultant Laurie Mandato to talk about fashion and style.Â As some of you know, my take on â€œstyleâ€ has less to do with following the trends and more to do with finding yourself.Â Laurieâ€™s philosophy is also all about authenticity and she knows that people feel better when they look good.

Laurie talked about how she empowers women to be confident in the bodies they have, while giving them the tools they need to reach their own version of perfection.Â Laurie talks about her passion for working with speakers, authors, executive leaders, coaches and consultants who are stepping into the spotlight and what they can do to match their image to their message so they can feel fabulous and confident in the role of speaker.

Laurie also talked about how she recovered from the fabulous SHINE event put on by Ali Brown in Las Vegas with some scheduled R & R out at Canyon Ranch – a resort I know all too well, having recently spoken there for a few days with my friend and business partner Ana Weber as part of our Your 48 Hour Day seminars.Â Tips like this are available on Laurieâ€™s website

Laurie also explains how what you wear on the outside is a reflection of what you feel on the inside and how to use colors, fabrics, and tailoring to enhance you inner light.

There is a strength that comes from expressing your authentic self, and when you find your individual style that you can wear with confidence.

Thanks Laurie for spending time with us today and sharing your Chic Perspective on how entrepreneurs can use style to maximize the first impression they make on others and increase their overall earning power.
