To Help in the War against Childhood Obesity, San Francisco-based Jump4Health Initiates Mini-Trampoline Rebounding Program at Harlem Hospital’s Department of Pediatrics

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 28, 2007

It’s hard to get a hold on the obesity epidemic infecting the Nation’s children. If as guidelines for measuring body mass index (BMI) in children suggest then a massive 8 million children, aged from 5 to 17, are now considered overweight or at risk. That amounts to approximately 20 percent of all children in the United States, almost triple what it was in the 1970s.

If that’s not bad enough, the health problems associated with obesity — high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, orthopedic problems and sleep apnea to mention a few — are likely to cost the public health sector hundreds of billions of dollars by 2020. Which, by comparison, will make HIV look, economically, like a rather bad case of the flu.

These rather grim statistics, recently released by the Center for Disease Control, caught the attention of San Francisco-based Eliot Seal, a certified “reboundologist” and owner of Jump4Health.com, a company that’s dedicated to promoting the health benefits of mini-trampoline exercise. Worried that obesity, especially in children, is “spinning out of control” Seal decided it was time to act.

He approached Dr. Joyce Leung, a pediatrician at Harlem Hospital’s Department of Pediatrics, New York, and offered the children in her care access to mini-trampoline exercise equipment and training materials at no cost.

She gladly accepted.

“Our pediatric clinic sees many low-income children and adolescents with a high BMI,” said Leung. “These children are at risk for diabetes, abnormal lipids, orthopedic and hormonal and respiratory problems. The mini-trampoline equipment provided by Eliot Seal and Jump4Health gives us a safe, fun exercise tool that we can use to help fight the current ‘diabesity’ epidemic.”

Seal, a tireless promoter of the health benefits of mini-trampoline exercise, is concerned that unless we as a Nation act now to counter the current trend of childhood obesity, we’ll begin see shorter life spans in future generations. But, he says, forcing children to participate in disciplined or “boring” exercise routines is not the answer.

“Children naturally recognize the benefits of mini-trampoline exercise,” says Seal. “It wakes up their natural desire to bounce, jump and move, and gives them a safe, fun, aerobic workout that helps them lose weight, and build stronger muscles and bones.”

According to Seal, exercising on a mini-trampoline burns more calories than jogging. Plus, he says, the gravitational force that occurs when bouncing increases oxygen intake and causes every cell in the body to grow stronger.

Indeed, several studies, including a NASA study into zero-gravity in space, have recognized the health benefits of mini-trampoline exercise.

But as the children attending Harlem Hospital’s Pediatric Rehab Unit wait patiently for their turn on their new mini-trampoline, they’re not thinking about studies into zero-gravity. And they’re not thinking about losing weight or reducing their risk of heart disease, diabetes or hormonal and respiratory problems.

They’re just thinking about bouncing up and down on the mini-trampoline and having fun fun, fun!

Historically speaking, the citizens of Texas have long enjoyed a health care environment which has allowed a vigorous and effective complementary and alternative medicine(CAM) health care community to flourish in this state. The 2005 legislative session convincingly demonstrated that this environment has forever changed. Unless the citizens of Texas band together to codify their freedom to access the health care modalities of their choice, progressively more onerous restrictions on health care choice will be imposed by economically motivated special interest groups and their allies in the legislature. The time has come to act. RadhiaGleis is a Certified Clinical Nutritionist, CCN She is also a Certified BioNutritional Analyst. She has a Ph.D. in pastoral counseling and a M.Ed. in nutrition.

I have always been extremely interested in alternative health techniques and treatments. I am currently in a very good job that I am not really crazy about. I would like to move into the alternative health field and would like to eventually open a health food store and small health spa. I know it is a process but I want to know where I can start. As far as I know (and I could be wrong) there is no school to go to learn alternative health. I don’t know where to start learning and how. Also for the learning process I need to work around my full time job as I don’t have the option to not work as I need the income. I really want to start learning about this field and just need some suggestions on where and how to start. Is there perhaps a way to be like an apprentice to an alternative practitioner?

I was just diagnosed and afraid to take the drug they recommended due to it influencing dopamine levels and potential for hallucinations and severe obsessions with gambling, sex, overeating, and shopping. there are lawsuits against the company for these life wrecking side effects.

I have been sleep deprived nearly 25 years and on bipap/cpap for 15 with little abatement of the many health effects. I am finanlly starting to get some of the errors made in treating sleep apnea corrected but it will be in vain if I can’t get the PLMD under control. I think they said I did it 175 times in less than 6 hours and weach time disrupts your sleep.

I have not been able to find much alternatively since my diagnosis three days ago. I was considering dopamine raising herbs..anything else? )it is sometimes treated similarly to restless leg syndrome although it is a different thing..involuntary and under sleep unlike restless leg which is when awake and asleep. Dopamine also is related to
Parkinson, another involuntary movement disorder. I am so scared of the medical drugs but also hanging on by a thread from severe sleep deprivation for so long.

Florida or California have better alternative health treatments for fibromyalgia and myofasical pain? Thanks!

More and more opt for alternative therapies today. Whereas treatments combining integrated public health care which alternative or complementary therapies, which now exists in some scientific evidence of high quality safety and efficacy.

For example, there is support for cancer that all of these therapies for offering free or low for a fee, and there are hospices and hospitals that these particular as part of cancer treatment, right side conventional treatments, such as cancer radiation therapy or chemotherapy. These treatments are used by many cancer patients with whom they support in their fight against cancer. These therapies are invaluable in that they identify and support spiritual and emotional characteristics and physical traits, but not used as the sole option of online processing will be.

More than one billion will be spent annually by Americans on vitamins and herbs, the products of alternative health. Recent studies Tindle, Davis, Phillips, & Eisenberg, 2005, showed that approximately 72 million adults in the United States of complementary and alternative therapies.
