Message from Dr. Booker: Happy Birthday to Me! (and various tips for folks over 40!)

Dr. William Booker of Capitol Rehab of Arlington

With my 42nd birthday now clearly in the rearview mirror, I am reminded of something Chris Rock once said, "When you turn 40, the only time anyone considers you young, is if you're dating Elizabeth Taylor."

And so it is! I have officially crossed over into "middle age," no more "young guy" for me. So I guess it's time for me to get a little wiser and maybe even try to act it, too.

So it is with no further adieu, I bring you "Three Things Everyone Over 40 MUST Do" and "Three Things Everyone Over 40 CAN NEVER Do."

Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying!
Dr. Booker

The *Barb n' Babies* Update: Double the Joy = Twice the Sleepless Nights!

Barbara Fallon Wallace's beautiful twins!!

Understandably, our physical therapist extraordinaire — Barbara Fallon Wallace, MSPT, DPT (aka Barb) — hasn't been around the office as regularly as she used to be. It probably has something to do with those young twins that now occupy her every last moment! I had the chance to speak to Barb recently and she wanted to pass along a message to all of her Capitol Rehab of Arlington friends.

Blog Post: Snooze to Lose? Study Finds Weekend Sleep Combats Child Obesity Risks

Well this is interesting: "Lack of sleep (in children) doesn't only lead to sluggishness and inattention; it can also cause kids to pack on the pounds."

While I don't think it's a big secret that most kids these days don't get as much sleep as they should, apparently researchers at the University of Chicago are discovering that chronic sleep deprivation in children increases the risk of obesity. The study's findings, which were published in Pediatrics (Vol. 127 No. 2 February 2011), reveal the following. . .

Blog Post: Life Improving Habits by Dr. William Booker (Aristotle noticed that, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.")

In fact, everyone that you know who is in great shape has dialed in these two important habits. If you aren't happy with your body, then simply adjust your eating and exercise habits. Here's how to adopt a habit of healthy living.
