FIT AND FUN

Health Tips for You and Your Children By: Concentra Urgent Care

Getting fit and staying fit can be a fun process. That’s true for individuals, and it’s especially true for families. Fitness is an important topic, especially when your daily routine involves a lot of sitting, whether at work, at school, or at home in front of a computer or TV screen. The habits that we learn as children are often the habits we carry into adulthood. As parents, we can help our children build healthy habits and find new, fun ways to motivate ourselves and our children to get active. Below are some ideas for getting off the couch and having some fun while getting fit: • Take an active vacation: It’s tempting every day to think of your vacation as a time to sit and relax. But isn’t that what your body does everyday? Instead, you can plan a trip that includes hiking, biking, skiing, and other activities that the whole family can do together. • Visit a local park: It doesn’t have to take a whole day, but you could spend a few hours playing at a park. Take a ball (football or soccer), a Frisbee, or a hacky sack, and play. You can invite some friends to join you, too. And remember: It’s not just about the kids moving Copyright © 2014 Peel, Inc.

around – it’s your time, too! • Hold a block party: Call your neighbors, and block off the closest cul-de-sac for a get together that includes fun and active games. From freeze tag and relay races to hide-and-seek and kickball, there are hundreds of activities to choose from that are fun for everyone. • Go for a hike: Find a local area where you and your family can go and hike for a few miles. Spend time outdoors, and enjoy what nature has to offer while you all get fit! For more ideas about fun activities, visit the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance’s Web site at: www.aahperd.com. The Goal: Be instrumental in encouraging children to develop the good habit of moving through space, nurturing their physical power, and getting fit. For more information about healthy activities, contact your health care provider or your Concentra health specialist.

Did a bug ever fly in your mouth? Usually, the story ends there. You spit it out. Goodbye, bug. But sometimes — gulp! — you might swallow it so it ends up in your stomach. Less often, someone might inhale a bug into the lungs. You have probably heard that old children’s song “I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.” Most people don’t swallow flies. But we know of someone who’s sure she swallowed a tiny gnat. Another boy had a close call when a yellowjacket flew out of his can of soda and into his mouth while he was taking a sip. (He spit it out before getting stung.) And would you believe that someone said she inhaled a lightning bug and could feel it in her lungs? There are two paths a swallowed bug might take: • down the esophagus (food tube) into the stomach • down the trachea (windpipe) into the lungs If the bug ends up in your stomach, it will

get mashed up and digested just like any other food. And whatever’s left of it will “come out the other end” when you go to the bathroom. It’s gross, but unlikely to cause you any more trouble. If you feel like you inhaled the bug and you think it could be in your lungs, tell a parent or another adult. Usually this will make you cough and feel a little uncomfortable. Your mom or dad will want to check with your doctor. Unlike your stomach, your lungs won’t digest the bug. In your lungs, the bug will get trapped in a layer of slimy mucus. Maybe you’re thinking “Gross, there’s slime in my lungs!” But it’s good to know the mucus is there for a reason. It protects your lungs and airways from situations just like this one. The mucus helps your lungs stay clear so that you can breathe properly. In other words, no bugs allowed! Reviewed by: Aaron S. Chidekel, MD Date reviewed: July 2011
