PURSER WELLNESSDon't Let the Sun Ruin Your Summer Fun!From the reading room

Aloha, As spring is already here and summer around the corner, I find myself outside more often. The last few years I have been more conscious of protecting my skin during the summer months and applying sunscreen whenever I am outdoors. From when I was younger, I have many freckles (I call them ‘sun kisses’) that are turning a darker brown. Eventually, they could turn into moles which doesn’t surprise me at all after the amount of time I spent in the sun. I started to think what we can do to prevent more wrinkles, sun blotches, and sunburns while in the sun. I put together a list of things I u

PURSER WELLNESSHow Swimming Can Change Your LifeFrom the reading room

Aloha, One of the most important parts of my healthy lifestyle choices I owe all to my mom. She was a high school swim coach and put me in the water when I was only two weeks old. However, my mom’s example goes far beyond just teaching me to swim. My grandma suffered from strokes and had a hard time walking. I can remember my mom and aunts would take my grandma to the pool to re-teach her to walk. It helped with her coordination, balance, and posture. They would walk up and down the pool which showed me how water buoyancy not only benefits our health at any age, but also how it can be used to

PURSER WELLNESSDon't Let the Winter Blues Get You DownFrom the reading room

Aloha, Wish you were on a nice, warm beach soaking up the sun during these winter days? If you live in a place that is overcast, gloomy, rainy, and snowy during this time of year how can you beat these ‘winter blues’? Even though ‘winter blues’ isn’t a clinical depression diagnoses, seasonal depression tends to be an issue for many people. Recently, I visited friends who struggle during winter and thought it may help to discuss some of my favorite ways to feel better. Get Up and Move - Set an exercise routine such as running, lifting weights, yoga, swimming. The endorphins produced will improv

PURSER WELLNESSNew Year, New BeginningsFrom the reading room

Aloha, A new year has started, giving us a fresh start. When reflecting on 2018, what lifestyle choices do you want to improve? For many working out more, eating healthier, and getting back on their program are common goals. What I love so much about the beginning of the year is the renewed energy we have. Of course, we can restart at any time in the year, but the beginning of the new year has an extra motivating feeling in life. I find in my life there is always room for improvement. When we become stagnant in growth, it begins to weigh heavily on the self-confidence and energy we exude. This

PURSER WELLNESSListen to Your BodyFrom the reading room

Aloha, I hope you all are enjoying this holiday season! It seems every year I tend to have some surgery or illness around this time, and this year has been no different. Last week I had a surgery which reminded me how important listening to your body and staying in tune with what happens in order to live your best life. Have you felt something was wrong and later learn you were right? You know your body best and can sense when something is not right. Had I not listened to my body, I would not have known I had cancer and infections. So much happens internally, it is hard to know what exactly is

PURSER WELLNESSHolidays and DiabetesFrom the reading room

Aloha, I thought a lot this week about what to write and researched several great topics. However, I kept coming back to the holiday season and all the delicious foods we eat during this time. I know it can be difficult to control eating everything at the office, at home, or the amazing feasts from Thanksgiving to Christmas. During this time, I try to be mindful of portion control and remember it is fine to sample a little of everything. I also tend to worry about loved ones who suffer from diabetes and wonder how they control their urge to eat sweets during the holiday season. My father was d

PURSER WELLNESSEssential Oils & MenopauseFrom the reading room

Aloha! One of the most dreaded words for women is menopause. Many women embrace this natural change; however, other women are shocked when it happens to them. Personally, my body is going through menopause as a result of my cancer treatment. Unfortunately, I am very familiar with the constant hot and cold flashes women face during this difficult time. Have you realized what happens to your body besides the hot and cold flashes, or the joyous stop of your monthly cycle? What other changes take place within your body that cause these symptoms? Can you do anything to help compensate for what your

PURSER WELLNESSTwelve Traits of a Good DoctorFrom the reading room

Aloha! Each of us have experiences with good and bad doctors. Having a good doctor in your corner, aligned with your needs and preferences, is key in a long-lasting relationship to make health a priority and to stay healthy. A good experience is not only with the doctor, but with all staff (reception, nurse, etc.). Careful consideration will help you avoid wasting time and energy. Recently, I have been in search for a primary care doctor. I reached out to my oncologist office for recommendations to fill prescriptions and annual exams. When I scheduled an appointment, I requested a female physi
