Thanks to many of camps around the world- kids that have disabilities or special needs including congenital heart defects and severe heart disease can take place in the summer fun all the same. I found and incredible resource while searching for camps in my area.  The camps are listed by State and Region. Many are offered for children with heart disease- wonderful indeed! If you have had any experience with any of the camps listed please let me know how it went and if you would recommend it to another parent. It is always nice to hear feedback.

This month’s theme day is Schools Out and today is the day it happens here at the Health and Wellness Channel. I have a few healthy diabetic snack tips for keeping straight this summer. Instead of grabbing a cookie from the cookie jar or munching on a bag of Doritos why not have healthy and sugar free snacks waiting in the wings… 5 Ready to go diabetic friendly snacks: 1. Pre-cut celery and carrots and place them in a big Ziploc bag- you can open the fridge and grab a handful. They are crunchy and will fill your belly. 2. Popcorn- whether you throw it in the microwave or make it in an air popper… it will take less then 5 minutes and you can pop ...

Both children and parents are so looking forward for the school year to end. I am a parent to a 5-year old who started going to pre-school and some day care of sorts since he was 2-and-a-half. Though not continuously: the first year we lasted only a month, the 2nd year 4 months, the 3rd year he finally finished the whole school year (yeeha!). Now is the 4th year my son is attending school. He’s in prep now and is raring to go always. Today was his first day at school. We are in the Philippines and so June is actually the start of the school year — after 2 months of our own version of summer break (April and May). So yeah…who doesn’t look forward to school breaks? We all do. And what does school breaks got to do with c...

Sometimes, I believe that one’s mental health is overlooked even though it too play a critical part how a patient manages to live with the disease or how survival is willed. May is Mental Health Month and here at the Health and Wellness Channel, we focus on mental health. Just one example why mental health is important in cancer patients: Breast cancer patients who have a prior history of mood and anxiety disorders are at a much higher risk of experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder following their diagnosis, new research suggests. A study of 74 breast cancer patients at the Ohio State University Medical Center found that 16 percent of them (12 women) suffered from PTSD 18 ...
