I mean If she/he knows that he has the nicest face… but is covered or overpowered by fat/oil/dirt….
If you get it, would a person look better if he/she starts to exercise and care about his skin/clothing? and improve on his/her diet/health?
If I exercise do I get a tax break?
That’s the claim he made today. Can any doctors weigh in on this? (Get it – “weigh in” on this?)
Actually, I did home health care for years and the best method I ever learned for transfers was the technique I learned at Valley Med in San Jose, California.
It doesn’t take a lot of exercising.
What you do is:
Put the patient’s feet on the floor
Put your knees on outside the patient’s knees
Squat and put your head at the patient’s waist, reaching around behind their butt and joining your hands.
Rock back a little so they fall forward over your shoulder
Pivot their butt into the chair
Rock forward so they lean back into the chair
Simple. No pulled muscles.
I see over and over again the same people claiming that they want to lose weight, and year after year, they stay fat or get fatter. They justify not getting started on a diet or on an exercise regimen by citing their poor health, past injury, or time constraints. They say they take vitamins and stay healthy through supplements, but really they are in horrible health still, suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Why do they keep making excuses year after year? Don’t they get sick of being fat?
And what do you think would push them over the edge to make them change??? Does it have to be a heart attack? A close call? Or is there something safer and easier to get them motivated?
Please help me understand… these are loved ones of mine and I don’t want to see them continue to kill themselves.
