🌿 RVPCS Health Tip of the Week

Small habits = big health wins.

Did you know just 10–15 minutes of movement a day can help:

✅ Lower stress
✅ Improve heart health
✅ Boost energy and mood

It doesn’t have to be the gym, try a short walk, stretching while watching TV, or parking a little farther away. If you’re walking outside in the cold ❄️, be sure to bundle up, dress in layers, and cover your hands and ears to stay warm and safe. Every step counts toward a healthier you.

📊 Getting 150 minutes of physical activity per week (that’s about 20 minutes a day) can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and improve overall health. Source: (CDC)

And if you’re ready to take the next step, our River Valley Primary Care Services team is here to help with preventive care, wellness visits, and support that fits your life. 🩺

🤖⚠️ AI medical advice is everywhere, but not all of it is safe.

More and more, artificial intelligence (AI) tools and “AI doctors” are popping up online promising quick medical answers. Some of these tools can seem very convincing and even appear to come from a trusted source, but they can also spread inaccurate or misleading health information.

Here’s what you should know:

• Many AI-generated medical posts and deepfake “doctor” videos are created to look and feel legitimate, even when the information is not medically verified.

• AI doesn’t have access to your full medical history, personal context, or the ability to examine you physically, all critical pieces of safe medical care.

• Studies show people often trust AI medical advice too much, even when it’s inaccurate, which can lead to delays in appropriate care or unnecessary worry.

That’s why seeing a real provider in person matters:

🩺Your clinician can perform a physical exam and ask questions tailored specifically to you.

📋 We consider your medical history, medications, allergies, and overall health in real time.

✔ You get trusted, evidence-based advice, not generic or potentially misleading online content.

AI tools can be useful for general learning, but they should not replace professional medical care. When it comes to your health, nothing takes the place of talking to a qualified provider who knows YOU.

📞 Call us an schedule an appointment, we’re here to provide safe, personalized care you can trust.

🎁 🧸December is Safe Toys and Gifts Awareness Month!

Did your little ones unwrap new toys this holiday season? Now is the perfect time to make sure they’re safe.

Quick safety tips:

Check age recommendations 📝 on toys and games.

Inspect small parts 🔹 that could be choking hazards for young children.

Avoid broken or damaged toys ⚠️discard anything with sharp edges or loose pieces.

Battery safety 🔋: Make sure battery compartments are secure and batteries are stored safely.

Did you know? Each year, over 250,000 children are treated in U.S. emergency rooms 🏥 for toy-related injuries. If an accident happens, seek immediate medical attention 🚑 and report serious hazards to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Keeping toys safe helps children play, learn, and grow without risk. Take a few minutes to ensure your gifts are both fun and safe!

🎁 December is Safe Toys and Gifts Month
Keeping our kids healthy starts with the choices we make long before playtime begins. This season, we’re reminding families to choose toys that support learning, fun, and most importantly, safety.

👶 Ages 0–3
Avoid small parts, button batteries, magnets, and anything that could break into sharp pieces. Look for sturdy, non-toxic materials and simple designs that encourage safe exploration.

👦 Ages 3–5
Check labels for age appropriateness and avoid toys with tiny detachable pieces. Opt for toys that build coordination and imagination, like blocks, books, and art supplies designed for early childhood.

🧒 Ages 6–12
Sports equipment should always come with protective gear. For electronics, make sure battery compartments are secure. Encourage supervised use of craft kits, STEM sets, and beginner tools.

🎮 Teens
Choose tech devices from trusted brands and review online safety settings together. For sports equipment, ensure helmets and pads fit correctly.

✔ Tips for All Ages
• Look for the ASTM or “Meets Safety Standards” label
• Avoid toys with strong magnets, loose batteries, or choking hazards
• Inspect toys for sharp edges and loose parts
• Keep older kids’ toys out of reach of younger siblings
• Always supervise play when trying out something new

🎄 The power of preventive healthcare, because many of the loved ones we’ll be seeing this holiday may be healthier and living longer thanks to it.

Routine check-ups, screenings, vaccines and early intervention don’t just help when you’re already sick; they help prevent serious illness before it starts.

🩺 Did you know that if every person in the U.S. got the recommended preventive care, we could save around 100,000 lives per year?

Many chronic diseases, illnesses that quietly build up over time, are either preventable or far easier to manage when caught early.

🎁 So this holiday, let’s appreciate not only the moments together, but also the gift of health: encourage friends and family to go for that “just to check” doctor visit, even if they feel fine. Because prevention can mean more time, more comfort, and more Christmases together. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
