Westside Family Health Center

Westside Family Health Center They helped women learn more about their bodies and their health, shared experiences and empowered them through knowledge. Government.

By providing direct care services that dignify and encourage client involvement in decision-making about health care, WFHC is cultivating a new generation of women and families that have the knowledge and resources to make healthy decisions. In 1974, a small group of dedicated community leaders and health care providers came together and started the Women’s Health Care Project as part of a larger social justice movement in Santa Monica, California. What is now Westside Family Health Center expanded to include prenatal care, pediatric services, adolescent health care and a family practice program that includes a strong healthy aging component. For 47 years we have been an integral part of the Westside community, serving low-income men, women, children, and the uninsured population. Last year, in 2019, we saw 12,905 patients in 31,299 visits.

Color shifts. Shape changes. Blood. Narrow stools. Persistent bowel changes. Routine screening starting at age 45 (or earlier with risk factors) can save lives. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers, but it is highly preventable and treatable when detected early. Spread awareness, watch for changes, and schedule an appointment to learn more.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner ♥

Better behaviors that improve and maintain cardiovascular health: quit to***co & sleep better.

❌Use of inhaled ni****ne delivery products, particularly ci******es, is the leading cause of preventable death in the US. Roughly 40% of U.S. children ages 3-11 are exposed to secondhand smoke.

☑️Sleep is an important time for your brain to reset. Regular, restful sleep is important to keep your brain running smoothly. Poor sleep may put you at higher risk for depression and anxiety, memory loss and dementia, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, obesity, and heart disease.

Mejores hábitos para mejorar y mantener la salud cardiovascular: dejar el tabaco y dormir mejor.

❌El consumo de productos de nicotina inhalada, en particular los ci*******os, es la principal causa de muerte prevenible en Estados Unidos. Aproximadamente el 40% de los niños estadounidenses de 3 a 11 años están expuestos al humo de segunda mano.

☑️Dormir es un momento importante para que el cerebro se recupere. Un sueño regular y reparador es fundamental para el buen funcionamiento del cerebro. La falta de sueño puede aumentar el riesgo de depresión y ansiedad, pérdida de memoria y demencia, presión arterial alta, niveles altos de azúcar en sangre, colesterol alto, obesidad y enfermedades cardíacas.

Just a couple of days more before Valentine’s Day! ♥

Let’s talk about loving ourselves through a healthy eating pattern.

The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans give us this message: “Prioritize diets built on whole, nutrient-dense foods—protein, dairy, vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, and whole grains. Paired with a dramatic reduction in highly processed foods loaded with refined carbohydrates, added sugars, excess sodium, unhealthy fats, and chemical additives.”

Some tips for success include:
- Cooking at home can be more nutritious than eating out.
- For canned or frozen vegetables and fruits, make sure they don’t have added sugars or salt
- Hydration is a key factor in overall health. Choose water (still or sparkling) and unsweetened beverages.
- When cooking, prioritize oils with essential fatty acids, such as olive oil.
- Consume less alcohol for better overall health.
- Eat protein from both animal and plant sources.

¡Solo faltan un par de días para San Valentín! ♥

Hablemos de amarnos a nosotros mismos a través de una alimentación saludable.

Las nuevas Guías Alimentarias para los Estadounidenses nos dan este mensaje: “Priorice las dietas basadas en alimentos integrales y ricos en nutrientes: proteínas, lácteos, verduras, frutas, grasas saludables y cereales integrales. Esto, combinado con una reducción drástica de los alimentos altamente procesados, cargados de carbohidratos refinados, azúcares añadidos, exceso de sodio, grasas poco saludables y aditivos químicos”.

Algunos consejos para lograrlo:
- Cocinar en casa puede ser más nutritivo que comer fuera
-Si consume verduras y frutas enlatadas o congeladas, asegúrese de que no contengan azúcares ni sal añadidos
- La hidratación es clave para la salud en general. Elija agua (natural o con gas) y bebidas sin azúcar.
- Al cocinar, priorice los aceites con ácidos grasos esenciales, como el aceite de oliva
- Consuma menos alcohol para una mejor salud en general.
- Consuma proteínas tanto de origen animal como vegetal.

We’re getting ready to celebrate Valentine’s Day ♥

This year, we want to focus on self-love. And what better way to love ourselves than to take care of our health and heart?

Being more active can help reduce stress, improve your mood, and improve your cardiovascular health.

Adults should get a weekly total of at least:
- 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity (walking, dancing, gardening)
- Or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity (running, swimming, jumping rope)
- Or a combination of both.
However, we always recommend starting small and talking with your provider before starting a new or increased exercise routine.

Nos estamos preparando para celebrar el Día de San Valentín ♥

Este año, queremos centrarnos en el amor propio. ¿Y qué mejor manera de querernos a nosotros mismos que cuidando nuestra salud y nuestro corazón?

Ser más activos puede ayudar a reducir el estrés, mejorar el estado de ánimo y la salud cardiovascular.

Los adultos deben realizar un total semanal de al menos:
- 150 minutos de actividad aeróbica moderada (caminar, bailar, jardinería)
- O 75 minutos de actividad aeróbica vigorosa (correr, nadar, saltar la cuerda)
- O una combinación de ambas.
Sin embargo, siempre recomendamos empezar poco a poco y consultar con su médico antes de comenzar una nueva rutina de ejercicio o aumentar la intensidad de la actual.
