Retrain Your Brain and Ditch the Motto "No Pain, No Gain"

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with good news thanks to a report in oncology and cancer survival showing a 70% 5-year survival rate as mortality rates have declined. Continuing with good news, a new study shows breastfeeding can diminish risks of depression for mothers, not just post party but up to 10 years after giving birth and breast feeding their baby. Next, there is a controversy over the new CDC vaccine schedule, questioning cloudiness over any childhood vaccines leading to other illnesses or lifelong diseases, and the need to always follow up with your doctor and to always pay attention to your body. A clinical break through on Hepatitis B with a drug company announcing positive Phase 3 results to be a functional cure for chronic Hep B, replacing lifelong antiviral therapy with a finite 6-month course.  Moving on, Doug and Dr. Ken break down the differences between fish oil supplements, with over-the-counter (OTC) synthetic fish oil vs natural fish oil supplements, as well as high grade prescription fish oil. Then, Doug and Dr. Ken share why you may feel better after exercising and other times you may feel exhausted. Dr. Ken shares the secret to exercising and feeling well after. He shares the saying, “train, don’t strain.” The theory is that if you are feeling lousy or in pain while exercising, you’re doing too much and will feel lousy. Instead, push yourself to the point before you feel symptomatic while training. Dr. Ken encourages ditching the motto, “no pain, no gain,” especially the older you get. Rounding out the conversation, Doug and Dr. Ken answer listener questions, including questions on narcolepsy and how to live a quality life when day-to-day can feel more than exhausting, whether or not their is relation to narcolepsy and sleep apnea, and the importance of treating sleep apnea.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks
