"Get More Active "
Dr. Kyle Parish, Family Practice & Sports Medicine
The numbers are adding up that the U.S. is overweight and under-exercised. Local physician Kyle Parish used CDC statistics and data from his practice to show exercise's role in the physical condition of the country in general and the south in particular
Exercise can be divided into three categories: physical activity, planned physical activity, and physical fitness. Since 1996, the CDC has recommended a minimum of at least 30 minutes of light to moderate physical activity on most days of the weeks. Mowing, gardening, and even vacuuming fit into this category.
The risks of exercise are relatively low. Overuse injuries, sudden cardiac death, and environmental injuries are rare.
Dr. Parish's suggestion for his patients is a balanced dose of frequency, intensity, type, and time of exercise. Exercising three times per week and engaging in a type of a fitness routine that is tailored to the individual's likes are important.
He thinks that physicians' roles in patient fitness are sometimes neglected because doctors just don't have time to prescribe exercise as part of a diagnosis. He also feels there is a certain pessimism on the part of doctors because they don't know if patients will follow their suggestions. And many doctors do not have the training to prescribe exercise.
A look to the future reveals that the vision for the population is to have a healthy U.S. by 2010. That means there will need to be more education to curb trends. A major focus will be on pediatric and adolescent population. In the meantime, Dr. Parish urges everyone to "get more active."

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Carolyn Roberts was the winner of the flower arrangement donated by Flower Gallery of Lone Oak. Happy Birthday to Carolyn and all the August birthdays.
On September 20th our Rotaract chapter will be participating in the American Heart Association's Heart Walk. Rotaract is aggressively seeking to be the highest contributor at this year's event. To help them in this goal, the group is hosting a Guitar Hero Tournament on September 6th from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Rotaract needs our help in raising the start up funds needed to offset the expenses of this fundraising activity. Rotary businesses are urged to donate to the cause. For more information, please contact Rotary member Erin Whitlock emonohan@teksystems.com or a Rotaract member.
