The blog section on the website is one of the most popular.  With Heather and Dr. Lisa both mothers of two, they offer invaluable insight and tips to help keep your kids healthy, educate them about the importance of healthy choices, and offer ideas for helping your kids lose weight, if needed.

Recently, Dr. Lisa and Heather Quillen wrote about the health benefits of walking, compared to running.  The blog points out that According to Adventure Magazine you can get 90 to 95 percent of the benefits of running from walking briskly.  Heather and Dr. Lisa offered the following tip about encouraging children to be more active: “Most kids are not going to run long distance by choice. However, they need to play and be used to going for a brisk walk. Go for a family walk in the evening. This also allows for a great opportunity to discuss the events of the day.” 

“We are determined to get your kids, and you, moving! Start with little steps then increase from there. The more knowledge and advice that YoMedics™ can spread to kids and families across the world, the more useful and fulfilled we are,” remarked Dr. Ramey.
