Chickenpox Awareness 🌟

Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It most commonly affects children, but adults can get it too — and symptoms may be more severe.

🩺 Common Symptoms:
• Itchy, blister-like rash
• Fever and tiredness
• Loss of appetite
• Headache

✅ Prevention & Care:
• Vaccination is the best protection
• Avoid scratching to reduce scarring and infection risk
• Stay home while contagious to prevent spreading

Most cases are mild, but complications can occur — especially in adults, infants, and those with weakened immune systems.

At Shelton Hospitalist Group, Dr. Shelton and our team provide expert care and guidance for infectious diseases like chickenpox.

⚖️ Understanding Body Mass Index (BMI) ⚖️

BMI is a simple screening tool that uses height and weight to estimate body fat and assess health risks. While it’s not a perfect measure, it helps identify if you are underweight, healthy weight, overweight, or obese.

📊 BMI Categories:
• Underweight: Below 18.5
• Healthy Weight: 18.5 – 24.9
• Overweight: 25 – 29.9
• Obese: 30 and above

✅ Why It Matters:
• Higher BMI increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
• Maintaining a healthy weight supports better energy, mobility, and long-term wellness.

At Shelton Hospitalist Group, Dr. Shelton and our team can help you understand your BMI and create a personalized plan for healthier living.
