Urgent Care and Walk for Life: How Daily Walks Lessen Health Risks


Fitness buffs sweat it out (literally) to find the most advanced, sophisticated workout they can find to maintain a healthy and well-sculpted physique. They go to gyms, engage in yoga or Pilates classes, or run several hours a week. Getting cardiovascular exercise for a new lease on life, however, doesn’t have to be that complex.

Walking Saves Lives

A report released by the Ramblers and Macmillian Cancer Support group found that walking for a considerable amount of time per day achieves the same result as running, and even lowers health risks. The report says walking about 25 minutes daily to fulfill the recommended 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise can actually save the life of 37,000 people every year. It could also lessen the incidence of Type 2 diabetes by 300,000 cases per year.

Abating Asthma before Rushing to an Eagle River Urgent Care Clinic


The upcoming Fish Creek Festival, to be held at the Barbara Street Park and Kiwanis Fish Creek Park, is the perfect venue for a family holiday. With lots of free food, music, and activities, you and your children can have fun while mingling with everyone else in the community.

Though it’s going to be an exciting day, you or anyone in your family who has asthma should be prepared for a possible attack. Bringing an inhaler is important given the allergens and asthma triggers in the parks, including dust, smoke, trees and grass.
