reobbyAnnothe December 1, 2012, 5:04 am Having well-developed legs is what long-distance runners are known for. Unfortunately, it tends to stop there. There are benefits to keeping your entire body in a symmetrical and balanced state of development. Most runners try to avoid carrying extra weight when they exercise. Making this decision is a personal preference issue. But, you can help your body avoid overuse injuries by toning your upper body. Simple body weight exercises will probably do if you don't want to add mass to your torso. The benefit is also found in the variety in your exercises that you will experience. Really, you're not going to harm your ability to run. You are actually going to improve your resistance to injury by doing them.

If your body is symmetrical, and well-balanced, there are many benefits to maintaining this type of symmetry. In most cases, runners will want to be as light as possible.

Kathi Browne November 14, 2012, 9:14 am Physicians may not have to "police" social channels as much as simply engage more. If patients build trust in a physician or organization, they begin to make those websites, facebook pages, and libraries their first stop for information. I hold a monthly video discussion where successful physicians and hospitals share their experiences and motivation (you can find the recordings on my "wingspouse" YouTube channel). One consistent message my guest share is that the time spent responding to and educating people is well-worth the time and energy.
Jan Oldenburg November 3, 2012, 11:29 am I have to agree with Brad. If the conclusion from the first debate really is that: "A well-informed patient is not always a good thing," I am deeply concerned about the message it sends. I was not able to attend the forum either, but the discussion, as reported, seems to be more about the opportunities for misinformation in online forums, rather than that patients who use online forums and are well informed are somehow dangerous or misguided. It seems, from reading the post, that a better headline and conclusion might be: "Online forums need curating to reduce the opportunities for misinformation to spread." It also may be true that we need more studies on the impacts of online forums in order to understand better what the pros and cons are and how best to address the cons. Controlled studies should make it easier to design forums that maximize their benefits and reduce their negatives.
Brad Tritle November 2, 2012, 1:39 pm Hi Eric, Thank you for your coverage of this event - valuable for those of us unable to make it. Based on your description of the interchange between Drs Watson and Benabrio, it seems the conclusion would be that "More information can also include misinformation," rather than "A well-informed patient is not always a good thing," as IMHO “well-informed” implies the information received is correct. There are those who are indeed wary of patients having too much correct information, but I didn’t see that as the issue discussed based on your coverage – or was it? To state that a well-informed patient is not always a good thing would be a very audacious stance for any physician to take, based on the Chronic Care Model of Improved Outcomes through Productive Interactions between a Prepared, Proactive, Practice Team and an Informed, Activated Patient.
