Dr. Williamson and Carmen Dick then traveled to Hesston, KS on August 24th, to present Fatigue, there is Hope at Victory in the Valley. They both addressed how to overcome fatigue before and after treatment and different causes that cancer has on the body when it comes to exercise. We have another new addition to the center. Our very own seated upright leg press (on the right). Come in today or schedule an appointment to come and try it out! Finally a big congratulations to our own Dr. Wendy Williamson. She has been named to the Wichita Business Journals honored Health Care Heros, Health Care Innovators. This award was
given to doctors, nurses, administrators, educators, volunteers and community groups all contribute daily to the health of Wichitans. This program was designed to recognize individuals who go above and beyond to improve health care in Wichita and surrounding areas. There will be an awards event Oct. 17.

Victory in the Valleys Womens Retreat was indeed an honor. We were goofy and educational and these ladies laughed.mission accomplished. What fun. Take a minute to review AMA recognizes obesity as a disease. This could certainly change reimbursement practices and health care for patients regardless of your personal opinion regarding genetics or lifestyle practices. Stay tuned as I dont think we have heard the end of this conversation. Lastly, I am grateful to the nomination of Health Care Hero award given by the Wichita Business Journal. There are many heros and this year 27 are being honored. I love what I do, whom I come in contact with, and am blessed for the opportunity. Thanks be to God.
HEALTH TIPS
Some of our favorite tips to creating a healthier lifestyle! Carbohydrates help with breaking down foods, powering your muscles, making your brain work. Simple Carbohydrates (flour, sugar, candies, soda etc.) the body breaks down these simple sugars easily, raises your sugar levels and makes you hungry quickly after you have eaten. Cellulose, found primarily in plants, is a complex carbohydrate. They are important for a slow burn. Whole wheat, bran cereals, brussel sprouts, oatmeal are all complex carbs. Proteins help replenish your body cells. Women need a minimum of 46 grams of protein a day, men need about 56 grams of protein a day Fish, red meats, chicken, shellfish and nuts are all great sources of protein. Drink 17 to 20 ounces of water two hours before the start of exercise. Drink 7 to 10 ounces of fluid every 10 to 20 minutes during exercise. Drink 16 to 24 ounces of fluid for every pound of body weight lost after exercise. 9 cal/gm of fat 4 cal/gm of protein 4cal/gm of carbohydrates
Whatever you are, be a good one. Abraham Lincoln THE SKINNY ONMILK
Moo juice is facing some stiff competition in the supermarket from options derived form rice, soybeans, coconuts, and more. So how do you know which ones will do your body good? Most nondairy milks are fortified with the same amounts of bone-strengthening calcium and vitamin D youd find in the cows product, so that much is a level playing field, says Ruth Frechman, R.D., a nutritionist in Burbank, CA, and a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietietics. But some versions are deficient in other important nutrients like protein- or contain more of certain vitamins. She gives us the lowdown on theses liquids assts.

Conventional milk is off-limits for vegans, as well as 13% of Americans who are lactose-intolerant. Theres also some concern about the use of growth hormones or antibiotics in cows feed, which can be avoided by choosing organic brands.
