With the school year complete, kids are excited to relax after a year of hard work, learning and extracurricular activities. Howev-er, this may lead to the temptation of sitting on the couch watching
TV or playing on a computer or mobile device.
In fact, a recent survey con-ducted by Dr Pepper Snapple Group's Let's Play initiative found that only 33 percent of children
participate in daily active play, and for 30 minutes less than the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends. It's important for kids to get daily ac-tive play because it contributes to
their physical, emotional and so-cial development, and helps them maintain a healthy lifestyle.
To ensure kids get the active play they need this summer, try
Easy tips for keeping kids active this summer

boosting their playtime with these tips:
Make play time family time. According to the Let's Play survey, in general, year-over-year younger children's active play time is more likely to be impacted by busy family schedules. To make sure your family is getting the physical activity they need, find windows within your busy schedule to fit in some play, even if it's just a brief break. For example, rather than asking about your children's days at the dinner table, take a pre-dinner family walk to hear more while getting in some steps.
Create summer structure. Without structured school days, kids may get too comfortable sit-ting inside playing video games. An American Academy of Pediat-rics study shows that rather than playing outside, kids are spending an average of seven hours per day on entertainment media and other electronic devices. It's important to let your children have downtime during the summer, but setting up weekly family playdates will give them something to look forward to while keeping them active. This could be a weekly family bike ride around the neighborhood, a game of catch or capture-the-flag.
Creativity is key. Summer means longer days, more hours of sunlight and more opportunities to be outside. Get creative when motivating your kids to be active. For example, take a daily activity like walking the dog and turn it into a scavenger hunt by drawing up a treasure map of things your children should find on their walk, such as a pine cone, flower, blue car and other items around the neighborhood.
Host backyard playdates. Playing is always more fun with friends. According to the Let's
Play study, longer stretches of ac-tive play are more likely to occur with friends or siblings. Round up kids from your neighborhood to get together for a different activ-ity each week, such as an obstacle course or hide and seek. This al-lows your children to socialize and be active for an extended period of time.
For more information about ways to keep kids active and playing this summer, check out LetsPlay.com

Why do hearing aids cost so much?
One reason is that manu-facturers continually conduct extensive research to develop state-of-the-art technol-ogy, which makes hearing aids sophisticated and user friendly.
An experienced doctor of audiology (Au.D.) is key to understanding this technology, correctly assessing a patient’s needs and providing custom-fitted, quality hearing aids that will address hearing loss and help change lives.
How do I find a great doctor of audiology?
Ask friends and other doc-tors for references, and consider community recognition awards.
Dr. Kristine Jarrell has been providing personalized hearing care services for over 20 years and has a commitment to excel-
lence and patient satisfaction. Her patients love her — she
has been voted Best of Whidbey Top Audiologist three years in a row.

What is the difference between a doula and a midwife?
Most people have heard of what a midwife does. They are the people that do all the medi-cal stuff for pregnancy, includ-ing delivering the baby. They can even do your yearly female exams.
So how is a doula different? The biggest difference is that a
doula does nothing medical. As a doula, I will never check the position of the baby, or suggest a medical test. What a doula does do is provide resources and information so that you can make informed decisions for
your pregnancy and birth. I help you prepare for your
birth by helping you to build a plan. I then support you and your partner during the labor and birth based on your birth plan.
I bring the knowledge of over 20 years of birth support as well as that of a childbirth educator and from various continuing education courses I have taken.
Once you have the baby, a postpartum doula helps with the transition period of becom-ing a family.
We will help with baby feeding questions, baby care, cooking, running errands, mommy care and other things as agreed upon during our pre-delivery meeting.
So, in short, a doula does nothing medical.
We partner with you for your birth and/or postpartum period providing support, education
and resources. We attend births in a hospital,
a home, or at a birthing center. I would love to talk to you more about what a doula can do for you.
What is a life doula? We have all been there, you
know, coming home from the hospital with no one to help with cooking or personal care.
Then there are the times that you are just too overwhelmed with life and don't have time to cook meals for the week.
When your loved one is at the end of their life, you could really use an extra set of hands to help with what needs to be done, someone who under-stands.
As a life doula, I am the one that you would call. I work with

families of all ages and types. I prepare meals in your home,
run errands for you, do light house keeping, sit by the bed-side so that you can get a break and am there to listen when you need someone that under-stands.
I have supported families with ALS, Parkinson's disease, mito-chondrial disease and cancer, as well as those who are at the end of life, and those who are just so busy they don't have time to cook a meal.
What I do for each family var-ies depending on what the fami-ly needs and wants. I would love to talk with you more about how I can help you.

Can I choose where I receive physical therapy?
Yes! Physical therapy is
ordered by a health care pro-vider when deemed a beneficial course of action.
Once prescribed, it is always your right to pursue a physical therapy clinic that best fits your personal preference and needs.
— Provided by Coupeville Physical Therapy
What is integrative naturopathic care?
Patients at Reboot Center receive a blend of the best of both naturopathic care and tra-ditional "Western" medicine.
As a primary care and spe-cialty care facility, Reboot Cen-ter offers the full spectrum of services, including therapeutic injections, specialty laboratory tests, cranial treatments, osseous and soft tissue manipulation, allergy testing and treatment and much more.
Because every person is truly
unique, Reboot Center prides itself in offering tailored, focused, health-promoting care.
Does Reboot Center carry OTC products (for non-patients)?
Yes! Our physician-selected over-the-counter nutritional supplements are non-GMO, and many are also organic, gluten-free and vegetarian.
Their extreme purity is guar-anteed.
These are available both at our clinic as well as online at reboot-center.com

What is the difference between non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancer?
Most skin cancer develops slowly and can take several forms. Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that can develop quickly and can be dangerous if
not treated early. Non-melanoma skin cancers
are slower-growing. The two most common types are called basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
Non-melanoma skin cancers are more common than melano-ma skin cancers. For example, three out of 10 Caucasians will develop BCC in their lifetime.
Why do I need to get to know my skin?
Your skin is your largest organ. In fact, the average adult has two square meters of it.
Your skin is your first line of defense against damaging sun-light, unsafe chemicals, harsh temperatures, harmful bacte-ria and other organisms you encounter every minute of every day.

How often should I get an eye exam?
Yearly eye exams are the way to go. We see patients of all ages starting at 6 months.
However, we recommend everyone have an eye exam by age 5 and yearly after that. Poor vision affects all aspects of life, including school and/or job per-formance.
At Vision Plus we want every-one to see their best.
I think I have astigmatism, what is that?
First, astigmatism is not a dis-ease — it relates to your glasses/contact lens prescription.
In a nutshell, lenses with astig-matism have different powers within the same lens — meaning
the power of the lens is not the same all the way around.
Unlike near or far sightedness, astigmatism can cause blurry vision both far away and up close, so it's important it's accounted for.
At Vision Plus we always strive to provide the most accu-rate prescriptions possible.
— Provided by Vision Plus
Do you provide a sliding scale?Yes, always! I am just applying
for insurance boards and hope to take most insurance in the future. In the interim, I will pro-vide a generous sliding scale for individuals and families.
Do I have to come or contact to come in every week?
No, being a psychotherapist in Los Angeles for 20 years and teaching psychology classes for 15 years, I've learned that I need to meet you where you are on this journey.
This is a collaborative endeav-or and it needs to accommodate your schedule and time frame.

When it comes to your overall health, taking simple steps to keep yourself in good shape is key. Re-gardless of age or physical ability, practicing healthy habits can help improve both your physical and mental states, and lead to a hap-pier, healthier lifestyle.
Whether it's working a quick, refreshing yoga session into your daily routine, restoring energy with a nutritious snack or repairing your oral health, there are count-less things you can do to improve your overall health and wellness.
Take a step in the right direction and put your health first with some of these simple tips:
Keep your mind sharpResearch shows that you can

ing crossword puzzles, reading or challenging yourself with brain games like Sudoku or Mah Jongg can help boost memory and brain power.
Lower your stress levelTake stress levels seriously. Try
managing it by focusing on hob-bies or activities you find calming, like reading or listening to music.
You can also try practicing relaxation techniques, including meditation and breathing exer-cises.
Help repair your oral healthPracticing proper oral hygiene
and using the right tools are simple ways to improve your oral health. The American Dental As-sociation recommends brushing twice daily for two minutes and
flossing daily.
Eat a well-balanced dietResearch supports eating a
well-balanced diet of vitamin and mineral-rich foods can be benefi-cial to your health.
Opting to cook at home rather than going out to eat is an easy way to maintain those healthy eat-ing habits.
You can also try different cook-ing methods, such as steaming or modifying recipes to reduce sugar, salt and fat to help manage and sustain your diet changes.
You can also supplement a mul-tivitamin if necessary.
Make time for a workoutFinding the motivation to hit the
gym is the hardest part of working out.
If you make working out and taking care of yourself a priority, you can feel your best and also help set a good example for your children.
Practice good sleeping habits
The National Sleep Foundation recommends adults get 7-9 hours of sleep each night.
Staying on a regular sleep schedule, keeping your sleep environment cool, dark and quiet, and avoiding napping for too long or too late in the day can help you make sure you're getting the proper amount.
With these simple tips and tricks, you can finally put you first, contributing to better overall health.
