To get the community in the spirit for the holidays, Care Resource recently hosted a special Pediatric open-house at their office located on 3510 Biscayne Boulevard in midtown Miami. There was a bounce house, food, refreshments, face-painting, guided tours of their NEW Pediatric wing and an opportunity to meet Alicia Fernandez-Garcia, MD, their NEW Pediatrician. Alicia was Board Certified in pediatrics in 1989 and has continued her re-certifications to present and has been a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics since 1989. Over the years since she started practicing as a Pediatrician – Alicia has always migrated towards those that are in greater need of support and help and has supported the growth and development of children as they are our future.
Now that December is upon us, Care Resource also wants to remind the South Florida community that there are ways that you and your kids can enjoy the holiday season without gaining weight. You may be thinking that you don’t want to ruin the wonder of Christmas for your kids by depriving them of holiday goodies. However, think about what allowing your kids to overindulge does to them. Childhood obesity causes joint pain, high blood pressure, and diabetes, as well as a host of other ailments associated more often with middle-aged adults.
Los niños estarán en casa más de lo normal debido al clima exterior más fresco. Muy a menudo, los niños comenzarán a comer por aburrimiento. Si no compra refrigerios poco saludables, no tendrá que preocuparse por eso. Guarde las papas fritas y bocadillos similares como un regalo especial de vez en cuando. No los guarde en su hogar todo el tiempo. Resulta mucho más fácil resistirse a la tentación en el supermercado que a sus hijos resistirlo en su casa.
