Stay Healthy, Stay Thankful!

The holiday season is officially here, which means family, food, funโ€ฆ and the annual tradition of pretending calories donโ€™t count on Thanksgiving. ๐Ÿ˜…

But donโ€™t worry, ATLMed has your back! Here are 10 humorous health tips to help you enjoy the holiday and stay well.

๐Ÿ 10 Humorous Tips for Staying Healthy This Thanksgiving ๐Ÿ

Practice Portion Controlโ€ฆ
Take one plate, not three stacked together like a Jenga tower.

Get Your Steps In
When your aunt asks why youโ€™re walking in circles around the kitchentell her youโ€™re โ€œmarinating your metabolism.โ€

Hydrate Before You Plate
Water helps digestion and gives you a few extra seconds to avoid that relative asking about your life choices.

Veggies First
Taste something green before going for the mac & cheese. Collards or Turnips are great choices.

Turkey Time-Out
Put your fork down between bites. Itโ€™s a fork, not a speed-shovel.

Say No to the Third Slice of Pie
Unless itโ€™s sweet potatoโ€ฆ because thatโ€™s technically a vegetable. (Just donโ€™t quote us.)

Stretch Before Round Two
We recommend light cardio,like dodging conversations about politics.

Limit Snacking
Walking past the kitchen and โ€œtastingโ€ something every time still counts as eating. Yes, even if itโ€™s just a corner.

Get Fresh Air
Step outside for a walk. Bonus points if you avoid the family group photo in the process.

Practice Gratitude
A grateful heart is good for your health, especially when someone else volunteers to do the dishes.

From our ATLMed family to yours, stay safe, stay active, enjoy your loved ones, and have a healthy, happy Thanksgiving!

Truly Prioritizing Child Health: Missed Opportunities in the MAHA Commission Report

๐Ÿง’๐Ÿฝ U.S. children are facing a growing health crisis โ€” and the new Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission has drawn national attention to this urgent issue for the first time in over 50 years. While the Commission highlights important concerns like poor diet, environmental chemicals, chronic stress, and overmedicalization, experts say the report misses critical opportunities to address the true drivers of declining child health.

According to a recent analysis by Dr. James Perrin and Dr. Tina Cheng:

๐Ÿšซ The MAHA report ignores leading causes of childhood death, including firearm injuries, overdoses, and motor vehicle injuries.
๐Ÿšซ It fails to address the deep connection between child poverty and poor health, even though the U.S. has one of the highest child-poverty rates among high-income countries.
๐Ÿšซ It proposes minimal changes to diet, chemical exposure, and physical activity โ€” despite decades of evidence showing stronger interventions are needed.
๐Ÿšซ It offers no major reforms to the healthcare financing systems that drive overmedicalization.

๐Ÿ”Ž A stronger national strategy is needed โ€” one that prioritizes child well-being, evidence-based prevention, and policies that lift families out of poverty.

๐ŸŒ ATLMed supports research-backed approaches to improving child health and reducing chronic disease.
To build a healthier future, every child deserves access to safe communities, nutritious food, effective prevention programs, and quality healthcare.
