National Womens Health and Fitness Day takes place on the last Wednesday of September.In normal time onthis day, an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 women of all ages would gather at local health and fitness events across the nation.

Although things may be different this year,women of all levels of fitness can speak out and encourage each other to start or continue their health journey. Mask up and try joining a walking group. Attend a webinar about how to maintain good health.Do an at-home exercise routine from YouTube.

Another idea...do what my friends and I did this spring. We started a text chain and sent our daily workouts to each other. Not only was it a great way to stay motivated, but it was also good to connect with each other.

Here are some for everyday tips for being healthy women.

Don't go on a crazy diet or change everything all at once. That might last a week or two. Make small, daily changes, such as adding more vegetables, limiting night-time snacking and keeping the junk food out of your grocery cart.

400-800 milligrams of folic acid is one of the most important vitamins, but most women could benefit from a mulit-vitamin and calcium supplement. We are all different so talk with a nutritionist or healthcare provider to see what vitamins and supplements are best for you.

we were made to sit on the couch all day. Since many of us aresitting at home more often, it is more important than ever to get some physical fitness into your day. Aim for at least 30 minutes of daily exercise.

At the age of 21 you should start getting pap smears done.

Get your baseline mammogram at age 35- 40 if you do not have a family history of breast cancer. Get your first colonoscopy at 45. If you are in your 40s start talking to your doctor about pre-menopausal symptoms that you may be having.

In your 50s, be aware of approaching menopause and ask your doctor about alleviating symptoms.As you get older, there are also several vaccines that you might need such as shingles or booster shots for vaccines you got as a child. Ask your healthcare provider.

Make sure you go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, strive for 7-9 hours and keep the tablet or phone out of your bed at night. The blue light stimulates your brain and can keep you awake.

There is so much emphasis placed on our physical health, but mental health is just as important. Especially during these unusual times, weneed to know it is okay to not be okay. Do something you love, take time to relax and pamper yourself, contact a friend or family member, or talk to a therapist if you need more help.

Old hospital locations in Klamath Falls will be explored during the 14th annual History Fitness Hike on Oct. 3, according to a Klamath County Museum news release.

Dubbed the Historic Hospital Crawl, the event is designed to boost fitness as well as historical awareness. The event is co-sponsored by the Klamath County Museum, the YMCA of Klamath Falls and Healthy Klamath. Cost is $10 per person.

There are at least seven sites in the downtown area where hospitals operated in the early to mid-1900s, said museum manager Todd Kepple. We thought it would be appropriate to use this years hike to recall those who served in the medical profession over the past century.

Information presented about hospitals will reveal how medical facilities evolved from small private businesses to comprehensive modern operations.

The hike will begin at 9 a.m. at the YMCA, 1221 South Alameda Ave. Hikers will cover a seven-mile route over city sidewalks and pedestrian-bike paths. Brief interpretive talks will be presented at several stops along the hike route.

A hamburger barbecue will be provided for participants upon their return to the YMCA.

Registration forms are available at the Klamath County Museum, 1451 Main St., or can be downloaded at http://www.klamathmuseum.org. Registration is available online at http://www.kfallsymca.org.

Registration will be accepted until 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2.

The hike is a rain-or-shine event, with no refunds. Participants are encouraged to walk at a pace that is comfortable for them. The event is recommended only for those capable of walking long distances, although emergency transportation will be available. Dogs on leash are allowed on the hike.

Social workers appear more likely to face fitness to practise (FTP) proceedings and tougher sanctions as a result of them than doctors or nurses, research has found.

Men are also more likely to face fitness to practise proceedings than women across all three professions, found the study, published recently in the British Journal of Social Workers.

The study drew on a literature review and a years worth of hearings, in 2018, across doctors regulator the General Medical Council (GMC), the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC), for nurses, the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), which then oversaw social work in England, and the social work regulators in the other three countries: the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC), Social Care Wales and Northern Ireland Social Care Council.

The literature review identified that social workers were much more likely to be referred for fitness to practise concerns than the other two professions with the 2019 annual FTP report by the HCPC showing that 1.42% of social workers were referred, compared with 0.02% of GMC-registered doctors and 0.08% of NMC registrants, most of whom are nurses.

The analysis of the hearings found that social workers were far less likely to attend their hearings or be legally represented than the other two professions, where this data was provided, with 71% of doctors attending and 58% represented, 46% of nurses attending and 41% represented but just 7% of social workers in England attending and 6% represented.

And while social workers in England (25%) were less likely than doctors (38%) or nurses (34%)to be suspended as a result of a hearing, they were more likely to be removed, with 32% of practitioners in England being struck off and 57% of those in the other three countries facing the same fate, compared with 24% of doctors and 29% of nurses.

Where a rationale was provided for the outcome, the most prominent theme for social workers was the seriousness of the allegation, which was the case in 32% of HCPC cases and 46% of those in the other three countries. However, for doctors, this was the case in 15% of cases and for nurses 17%. Instead the primary theme for doctors was the registrant demonstrating remediation, insight or remorse (32%), whereas for nurses it was giving the professional time for remediation or insight.

The study reported: Based on the findings, it could be argued that social work decisions were more concerned with what had occurred, whereas GMC and NMC decisions tended to acknowledge a registrants ability to learn from their mistakes and make amends. Across the three professions, therefore, social work regulatory activity may place more emphasis upon public protection, whilst the GMC and NMC may be more willing to consider a registrant as a public asset, who can change their ways.

Lead author Aidan Worsley, professor of social work at the University of Central Lancashire, said:Our research raises some significant concerns for the profession, namely that there are clearly problems regarding social workers both not attending their hearings, and rarely having the benefit of legal representation. As a profession, social workers appear to be more likely than doctors or nurses to be taken into fitness to practise proceedings and more likely to be removed from the register than those other professionals.

Jon Dillon, executive director, fitness to practise at Social Work England, said: While the data was collected prior to us becoming the regulator for social work, we are aware of the concerns raised and further work is required to understand and address these concerns. We are committed to gaining a stronger understanding of the findings of the report, alongside studying our own evidence base which continues to develop through our own regulatory activities.

However, the Professional Standards Authority, which oversees the work of GMC, NMC and Social Work England, warned against over-interpreting the findings.

A PSA spokesperson said: This is a complex area fraught with variables, not least of which are ten separate legislative frameworks. Whilst studies of this nature are interesting and helpful in posing questions, the limitations of publicly available data and the variables involvedin each individual case means that firm conclusions cannot be drawn.

The spokesperson referred to a 2019 scoping review commissioned by the PSA into assessing consistency of outcomes of fitness to practise outcomes, which found limited evidence investigating consistency across regulators in health and social care.

It proposed a mixed-methods programme of research looking into the consistency in fitness to practise outcomes and decision-making, and the causal factors behind this. Its recommendations were presented to the Department of Health and Social Care.

The PSA spokesperson added: In our view and that of DHSC, the optimal way forward would be to work with the sector to reform these processes so that they are designed to minimise disparity of outcomes between professions and between demographic groups. This is an objective of the ongoing regulatory reform programme.

The study also found that men were over-represented in hearings, across all three professions. While men accounted for 17% of UK-registered social workers, they made up 45% of those taken to hearing in 2018 by the HCPC and half of those involved in hearings held by the other three regulators. In nursing, men accounted for 11% of NMS registrants but 30% of those facing hearings, and for the GMC, 88% of hearings involved men, who accounted for 54% of registrants.

Worsley, who co-authored the study with colleague Sarah Shorrock and Manchester Metropolitan Universitys Ken McLaughlin, said: More broadly, across all those three professions, there appears to be quite a significant increase in risk of fitness to practise if you are male. We were unable to determine whether race had an impact but, with all these issues, we hope that the different regulatory bodies and the PSA can look at their data and reflect on the issues we raise.

In a recent interview with Community Care, Dillon said that social workers from Black and ethnic minority groups were over-represented in fitness to practise referrals to the regulator, though it did not have evidence as yet about whether they were treated differently within the system than white counterparts.

In response to the latest study, he added:In relation to overrepresentation in fitness to practise, we are exploring two key questions.Firstly, why are certain people more likely to be referred to the regulator as a result of common practice and culture within the sector?We continue to work closely with employers, practitioners and members of the public to understand the challenges that may lead to this. Secondly, when a referral is made, are certain people treated differently within the process as a result of personal characteristics? Our quality assurance and decision review frameworks have been set up to enable us to continuously review, quality assure and learn from our interactions within the process and the decisions we produce.

The study, Protecting the Public? An Analysis of Professional Regulation Comparing Outcomes in Fitness to Practice Proceedings for Social Workers, Nurses and Doctors was published in The British Journal of Social Workers 2020 (0).

It used data from six regulators: UK medical regulator the General Medical Council, the Nursing & Midwifery Council, for UK nurses, the Health and Care Professions Council, which then regulated social workers in England, and the social work regulators for Scotland (the Scottish Social Services Council), Wales (Social Care Wales) and Northern Ireland (the Northern Ireland Social Care Council).

Researchers analysed 348 cases from hearings carried out in 2018, 46% of which related to doctors, 29% to nurses, 21% to social workers in England and 4% to social workers in the rest of the UK.

They then recorded the gender of the registrant, whether they attended the hearing, whether they were represented, the outcomes of hearings and rationale for those, where provided.

Carbs have certainly been put through the wringer lately. They've been deemed as a "bad" food by many who feel that carbs will completely destroy your weight loss efforts, which is not true. While there are some carbs that aren't helpful for your weight loss goals (mainly simple carbs and foods with a lot of added sugars), most carbsincluding the best carb for weight lossare actually stuffed with an incredibly important nutrient for your body: dietary fiber.

Fiber has been proven to help with overall weight loss and management, which is why it's vital to get a significant amount of fiber in your diet. Turning to carbs high in fiber is great for your body, and there's one carb that's stuffed with fiber that makes it the best carb for weight loss, and that's black beans!

For even more healthy eating tips, check out our list of 21 Best Healthy Cooking Hacks of All Time.

Black beans are oftentimes referred to as a superfood, and honestly, it lives up to the hype. Black beans are naturally gluten-free and plant-based. They're incredibly high in protein, folate, and of course, loaded with fiber. 8 grams per a 1/2 cup serving, to be exact.

According to the USDA, the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for fiber is 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men. 8 grams of fiber from a 1/2 cup of black beans is a significant amount of fiber coming from one serving of a carb!

Black beans also have very little fat content. A 1/2 cup serving doesn't even have a full gram of fat in it. And yet, it is packed with protein (7 grams) and rounds out to 20 grams of carbohydrate.

Plus, if you pair black beans with some brown rice, you are getting all nine essential amino acids, which makes a complete source of protein. Vegetarians, rejoice!

If you're looking to get more fiber in your diet, here are 20 Different Ways to Eat 28 Grams of Fiber a Day.

Quinoa, for example, is also packed with fiber, and even contains all nine essential amino acids on its own. 1/2 cup of quinoa contains 4 grams of fiber.

Oats are also a great source of fiber (4 grams per 1/2 cup) and have even been proven to help with longevity.

Other whole grains and even fruits with a high amount of carbohydrateslike applesare great sources of fiber.

Name: Heather GomezAge: 40Occupation: Defense ConsultantHometown: San Diego, California

Start Weight: 270 poundsEnd Weight: 150 poundsTime Running: 3 years, 6 months

Prior to age 36, I had never attempted to lose weight. I had completely turned a blind eye to how unhealthy I was. My life was just going to and from the office, eating take out for almost every meal, and watching TV until it was time to go to bed. My back and knees were in constant pain, I couldnt tie my shoes without losing my breath, and I had zero energy for anything. That was my life for many years.

Around the beginning of 2017, my close friend invited me to an OrangeTheory workout class. I had never taken any group exercise class before, but it sounded intriguing. For 60 excruciating minutes, was put through the wringer. I walked out nauseous and vowed to never return.

But a fire was sparked, and I knew something needed to change in my life. Thanks to Facebook algorithms, ads for a popular kickboxing gym near me called 9 Round Kickboxing started popping up on my feed. I tried a free workout, and within four months, I was hooked! But I was looking for more to challenge me.

Sign up for Runners World+ to read more stories how running changes lives

That inspired me to running in January 2017. I decided to train with a friend who was doing a 5K later that month, and even though I had minimal training, I loved the feeling of crossing the finish line and getting a medal.

From there, I was addicted. I started using the Couch-to-5K running app, and ended up starting and stopping multiple times. But I kept trying. I was running one- to two- mile increments twice a week, and I started signing up for more local 5K races to keep me on track. In April 2017, I finally ran the entire 5K distance without stopping. When I crossed the finish line, I cried. I was becoming a runner.

From there, I kept going farther. In December 2017, I ran my first half marathon. I just kept building every year since then, and in October 2018, I became a marathoner at the Long Beach Marathon in 7:59. In June 2019, I became an ultrarunner, finishing the Black Mountain Trail 50K in 9:55:05.

And in January 2020, I ran my first 50-mile trail race at the San Diego 50 in 13:32:13. I cried again at the end because I knew I had come so far in my running journey.

[Discover how to run 10, 50, or even 100 pounds off with Run to Lose.]

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and gyms and trails were closed, I had to do something to keep myself focused. I started running virtual ultramarathons in my neighborhood, and eventually hosted my own virtual 50K and had 12 other runners participate in their own neighborhood on the same day.

In May 2020, I had extended abdominoplasty surgery to remove excess skin from my belly and took a running hiatus. I have been slowly building back my endurance and have taken up hiking, which is lower impact than trail running. I plan to summit Mount Whitney (14,505 feet) in October 2020 with an experienced crew.

Along with running, I also adjusted my diet. I started eating more at home (less takeout), but I wasnt measuring or tracking. I focused on eating more vegetables, protein, and complex carbs, and also tried to minimize processed foods.

Once I decided to run an ultra marathon, I hired a local ultrarunner/coach who taught me a lot about macros, gut-healthy foods, and low-sensitivity foods. It completely changed how I viewed food because I understood how it worked in my body.

That being said, my primary goal has always been to live a sustainable life with food. I still eat pizza, tacos, and apple fritters. I just consume them less often, which makes me savor them that much more when I incorporate them into my food plan that day.

Doing all of this, I have successfully dropped 120 pounds during a 3.5-year time span and have kept the weight off. I am in the best shape Ive ever been in my entire life. I feel great, and I look at life completely differently now.

The physical changes have been successful because Ive been working on my mental and emotional health. We have to be honest with ourselves about what we want, what is holding us back, and how important the change is to us.

My journey isnt over yet. Im always a work in progress. But I absolutely enjoy the process. Thats the biggest piece of the puzzle: to fall in love with the process.

To do this, I had to find the best way to stay disciplined. A lot of people rely on motivation. Motivation is fickle. I rely heavily on my discipline. I make a routinesomething sustainableand stick to it. It eventually becomes a habit that you look forward to. This included finding my crew. Find people who aspire to do big things in their life. People who are nonjudgmental, who show up for you, and make you want to show up for them. That has been critical in my journey. I couldnt have done half of the stuff Ive done without them.

Apple cider vinegar is a popular condiment regularly used in cooking as well as baking.

It is made from fermented apples - this means covering chopped apples with water and leaving them at room temperature until the natural sugars ferment.

Used as a health tonic for thousands of years, the benefits from drinking it daily include weight loss and reduced hunger.

Dr Deborah Lee explains: Most research on the effects of ACV on weight loss has been done in animals, with relatively few human studies, but some have had promising results.

READ MORE:Michael Mosley weight loss: Fast 800 diet plan to lose a stone in 21 days

Several human studies have shown ACV reduces appetite, improves satiety, helps regulate blood glucose levels, and interferes with fat deposition and storage.

Apple cider vinegar helps the stomach to empty more slowly. This means there is a small reduction in insulin levels which according to the expert, means you feel fuller for longer and are less likely to get sweet food cravings.

However the expert explains that drinking apple cider vinegar alone will not result in weight loss.

Deborah said: ACV can only aid weight loss if you also follow a calorie-restricted diet and increase your physical exercise.

Those who wish to try apple cider vinegar for weight loss should also research what one they buy as some contain higher amounts of acetic acid as well as containing lots of preservatives.

The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar is known to aid weight loss in several different ways.

This includes lowering blood sugar levels which can help aid weight loss.

The expert continued: If you buy apple cider vinegar as a liquid, look for an organic, unfiltered product. Organic because it will be free from preservatives and pesticides.

Unfiltered because during the production process, apples are fermented. If the pulp is filtered, the pulp residue called mother is removed. This contains healthy bacteria and enzymes, good for your microbiome.

The tonic should also always be diluted in water and Debroah recommends drinking it twice a day.

Only a small amount of vinegar is needed to show results and it has been proven to help reduce belly fat.

She added: Always dilute 15ml in 500 ml of water and drink 250 ml morning and night before a meal.

One tablespoon which is around 15ml of vinegar contains about three calories and no carbohydrates.

Drinking apple cider vinegar straight can cause damage to the tooth enamel as well as damage to the oesophagus.

However there is a secret way to incorporate the vinegar into your diet without having to face the nasty taste or smell.

Deborah said: There seems to be no difference in the bioavailability between the capsules or the liquid. If you prefer to take apple cider vinegar capsules instead, take two-six capsules per day, taking two capsules before each starchy meal.

Although the benefits of apple cider vinegar extend weight loss, results can take up to 12 weeks to see and the expert recommends pairing the tonic with a healthy balanced diet.
