Gaining Weight Unexpectedly?

After a long day of work, school, or maybe an outing with friends or family, you typically want to come home and just relax.  It usually ends up with sitting in front of the television and grabbing your favorite snack.

Did you know that while watching your favorite sitcom, you become distracted and end up wolfing down that delicious snack you are eating without even knowing?  Picture it, you are eating chocolate chip cookies and you are so intrigued by the show you are watching you end up eating 10 cookies and do not even realize it!

That is a whole lot of calories, fat, and sugar that you are consuming in just one sitting!  If you do this a few times a week, you will be sure that gaining weight will go hand in hand.

According to an article on WebMD from HealthDay News, a way to prevent over eating is to TAKE SMALLER BITES!  Be aware of the amount of food that you are consuming and try to become less distracted when watching a movie or television show.

Another tip to change your eating habits is somewhat common sense, eat a healthy snack!  You do not need to eat cookies, cupcakes, or candy to satisfy that sweet or salty tooth.  Snack on something more healthy like apples and peanut butter or a bag of 100 calorie popcorn!

Visiting the US and Need Health Information?

Are you one of the 64 million tourists that are expected to visit the United States of America this year?  Have you ever wondered what happens or what to do if you become injured or ill?  Do you have the proper visitor health information if a health issue occurs?

When visiting the United States of America, health issues are probably the last thing on your mind.  However, if you fall ill or become injured, there are a few problems you can run into:

•     No insurance?  Emergency rooms, doctor’s offices, and urgent care clinics will charge outrageous amounts of money
•     Average wait time in the emergency room or urgent care clinic is 8 hours
•     Urgent care clinics are generally opened only certain hours such as 8am to 8pm

As the doctor shortage gets worse, a U.S.A. visitor may not even be able to get into a doctor’s office for at least three weeks.

MD Aligne allows you as a visitor to contact a nurse or a doctor 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  If you fall ill and do not know what to do or cannot find the nearest urgent care clinic, MD Aligne nurses and doctors are here to take care of your non-acute healthcare needs.

With MD Aligne you have two options to chose from to contact a doctor:

eConsult – If you are in the U.S.A. for a long term stay and are staying with a relative or at a hotel, this option may be convenient for you.  With an eConsult, you can contact a doctor online and if an eligible medication is prescribed, you can have it sent to your place of stay from one of MD Aligne’s mail-order-pharmacies.

TeleConsult – If you are only staying for a short period of time, a TeleConsult might suit you best.  You can call a doctor at anytime of the day and if they prescribe an eligible medication, you can pick it up at a local pharmacy near you.
