In a few short days, it will be 2015 and 2014 will be in the rearview mirror. Can you believe it? Medi-Rents thinks this year flew by, but we are looking forward to what 2015 has in store for us. Today, we are going to reflect back on our health blogs of 2014. We have handpicked a few of the most important topics we believe you should remember. 
Concussion: A Mild Brain Injury can Cause Serious Problems
There are an estimated 1.7 million people who sustain a TBI annually in the United States alone. Of those injured, almost 80 percent are treated and released from an emergency department and most of those are for concussions.
What is a concussion? We have all heard of concussion and many of us (or our kids) have had one. A concussion is considered a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. A concussion means that there has been change in the way your brain normally works. Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head to move rapidly back and forth as seen in car accidents, falls and sports.
Benefits of Exercise for People with Diabetes:
Although exercise is good for you, with diabetes exercising needs to be watched more carefully and your doctor can tell you what a safe blood sugar level is for you. The benefits of exercise for diabetic patients can be great if done properly.
Benefits of exercise for diabetic patients:
- Blood sugar control
- Weight control and loss
- Raise good cholesterol
- More overall energy
- Reduced stress level
- Stronger heart, muscles and bones
- Improvement of circulation
Blood Pressure: Make Control your Goal:
Did you know that one of three American adults has high blood pressure? That’s 67 million people! Unfortunately, more than half of these people with high blood pressure do not have their condition under control. Medi-Rents wants to be sure that you maintain a healthy blood pressure and if not, at least know how to control it.
Now that you remember a few health tips to bring into 2015, we wish you a happy New Year. Enjoy the time spent with family and friends. Contact us if you have any questions about what we offer.
