 Computer Use in Kids Linked with Back Pain
 Preventicare.com
 
 Computers aren't only the domains of adults, youngsters also use 
 them. And, just like adults, computer use may produce musculoskeletal 
 disorders in youths, according to a new report.
 
 Investigators interviewed 212 students in grades 1 to 12. One of each 
 subject's parents was also interviewed. 
 
 Results showed that "many students experienced physical discomfort 
 attributed to computer use, such as wrist pain (30%) and back pain 
 (15%). Specific computer activities - such as using a joystick or 
 playing non-educational games - were significantly predictive of 
 physical discomfort. Many parents reported difficulty getting their 
 children off the computer (46%) and that their children spent less time 
 outdoors (35%)."

 Note: It's recommend you contact a healthcare professional skilled 
 in helping you with proper ergonomic set-up of your at-home computer 
 station. Specific exercises can also be recommended to reduce neck, 
 wrist and eye strain. 
 
 Your local chiropractor is one who is highly skilled in this area.

 3. Safety Tip of the Week - Car Seat Safety
 Parents.com
 
 Harness too loose on the child?
 
 Test your seat: "If, after you've tightened your child into his car 
 seat, you can still pinch the fabric of the harness straps between 
 your fingers, he harness is too loose," says Stephanie Tombrello,
 executive director of SafetyBeltSafe USA, in Torrance, California. 
 
 The danger: "A child who's loose in his harness can easily come out of 
 his seat in a crash," Tombrello says. The child could then be severely 
 injured if he hits part of the car's interior or another passenger. The 
 worst-case scenario: the child is ejected from the vehicle altogether. 
 
 Fast fix: Tighten the harness. Keep in mind that the straps should be 
 snug and have no slack.

 Eating Healthy for the Holidays
 Chad Oler, N.D.
 
 There you are, sitting at the table, taking in all the sights and smells 
 of the smorgasbord of delicious and enticing holiday foods lying before 
 you. Turkey, ham, your aunt's famous casserole, creamy mashed 
 potatoes, 7-layer salads, and piping hot dinner rolls with melted butter... 
 before your brain can even comprehend your countless choices, you 
 see the dessert table, full of pies, tortes, cookies and cakes. And 
 before you can even take your first heaping helping of mashed 
 potatoes, that voice inside, that at times nagging little voice pipes up - 
 'You'd better watch what you eat!', 'Might as well just put that piece 
 of pie right on your hips, that's where it's going to end up anyway.', 
 and 'Well, there goes your diet!'
 
 And then you feel bad, almost guilty about the thought of enjoying the 
 wonderful food, made with love for loved ones. But fear not, there are 
 ways to quiet that little voice - here are several: 
 
 1. First thing - control what you can control -eat a healthy 
 breakfast and light lunch, like a cup of soup and a salad before 
 the holiday meal. That will take the edge off so you won't be starving
 when you get to the table.
 
 2. Take smaller portions that you normally would, eat slowly and savor 
 each and every bite. Don't put more than one spoonful in your mouth 
 at any given time and set your fork/spoon down while you savor the 
 flavors of the delicious foods you are tasting. 
 
 3. Take only those things you can't normally have. If you can regularly 
 have potatoes and gravy or buttered rolls, pass them up and enjoy 
 some of the other scrumptious foods you can only have here and now.
 
 4. Remember, a salad is a wonderful addition to any meal and a great 
 way to super-charge your meal with plenty of nutritious and filling foods.
 
 5. Chew each mouthful of food thoroughly and take in all the flavors 
 and textures of the food you are eating.
 
 6. Spend a lot of time talking at the table - this will give you time to 
 properly digest - and everyone knows it's not polite to talk with your 
 mouth full!
 
 7. Have dessert only if you really have room at that time. You may find 
 that you will enjoy your desert more if you wait an hour or two. When 
 you do have dessert, have a small piece, sit down and enjoy it. Desserts 
 are more for leaving a good taste in your mouth and to finish off a 
 delicious meal - they are not supposed to be a main course. 
 
 Always remember the holidays are more than just the food - take in the 
 company of those around you and share your experiences as well as 
 your recipes. And don't forget, no one becomes overweight on one 
 holiday meal. It's what you do the day after and the entire year that 
 will make a difference.
 
 Holidays are a time for tradition and family gatherings. And if everyone 
 takes the time to enjoy that, then the food is not as important, and we 
 can do with less.
