rabbits in “reach”
• Conclusion: love/peace decreased CAD
23. Getting Started
• Protection
• Shoes/Clothing
• Packs
• Poles
• Map
Alibeng, Pangasinan PI
25. Shoes
• Know your feet (pronator/supinator)
• Get some assistance (foot doc, sports doc, ex
phys, running store, REI team member)
• Trail runners, hiking boots (mid or high), heavy
duty/insulated for winter
28. DrRic Fit Tip:
• Watch for “hot spots” on the rock
• Ask a sales person ALL questions
• Mid-rise keeps water and mud out
29. Word of caution on barefoot trail
running
• Minimus running…..ease into it!!
30. Clothes to keep core temp stable
• Moisture wicking
• Detachable extremity
• Light “gramers”
• Compressible (if long trips or camping)
• Flexible but durable
• Venting
31. DrRic Hot Climate Fit Tip:
• Seek shade/make shade
• Pace activity to decrease sweat rate
• Interval timing (especially with children)
• Hydrate (specific gravity of urine)
• Venting creates breeze
32. Poles and Packs
Not a new invention!
Michael Johnson Can prevent:
Bursitis of the knee
33. DrRic Fit Tip:
• Poles can “extend” your distance
• 90 degrees at the elbow
• Choke down as you go up
• I like to “crutch it” as I go down
• Keep your back straight! Pack or “Bare-Back”
• Useful for preventing bushwacking
36. DrRic Fit Tip:
• 4-6 ounces every 20 minutes (Marathon tables)
• 4 liters per day but it varies…
roughly=weight (lbs)/2(oz)/8(cups) 8oz=1cup=225ml
• Can’t trust thirst sensation (unless 2% not
important for the hike)
• Timing important for deep forest preserve or
national park (ie plain or savanna)
37. Dehydration
• Athlete sweats 1-2 L per hour (33-66oz)
• 2% water loss can impair fine motor skill and
judgement
• At 104*-105*, altered cognition.
• At 106*-107*, delerium,stupor, coma. (Marathon, Ironman)
42. Stop drop and hike! Flav says time
to turn
around
• Pull over
• Leave the cell phone
• Note start time
• Turn regardless of beauty
• Drive on
• www.meetup.com
44. Timing of hikes
• Weather.com
• Weather.gov
• Sunrise/sunset
• 1-3 times a week for 30-60 minutes
(30+minutes to achieve RR)
• Or add resistance to burn more calories
……….ie -a huge backpack
45. Need some proof that
Hiking Prolongs life?
• Elderly adults tend to live longer near a park
• College students better exams with natural
settings from dorm
• Children with ADHD fewer symptoms after
outdoor activity with lush environments
• Public housing residents better social
interaction when near trees
46. Landscape and Human Health Lab,
U of I Urbana-Champaign Dr Frances Kuo
“Tree’s lower crime rate…”
47. Nutritional enhancement
• Standard American Diet is lacking in nutrient
• In all cases of disease, poor nutrition is a
contribution

nutritional depletion is a contribution

Notas do Editor
Design notes: list of providersWe want this to look much more inviting—these chairs are way too cold.Had thoughts about putting the actual providers in the chairs. Could be an actual live picture with a sample patient in the red chair or could be a group of providers sitting around the table.
Based on a survey of our patients, we found a consistent theme of what frustrates them about conventional medicine practices and why they felt First Health was different. Since identifying these 4 key areas, we have made a consistent effort to offer our absolute best to:Listen attentively to Patients concernsMake the patient the driving force as the center of careMinimize wait timesExplain all the options for treatment, and give the patient choices (medications, alternative medicine, nutritional medicine/supplementation, psychological medicine)
