Get up, get moving (even just a little bit), and feel the difference! Even small amounts of physical activity can help your health, and short periods of activity throughout the day can add up.

A quick stretch. A walk to the mailbox. Dancing in the kitchen while dinner cooks. All of it counts, and all of it adds up.

It's National Women's Health & Fitness Day, and it's the perfect time to pick one small thing and try it this week. Your body will thank you.

Always ask your care team what movement fits your treatment best before trying any exercise, then get moving and have some fun!

Cooler weather calls for a salad with a little crunch and lots of flavor. The Fall Harvest Orzo Salad from the Innovative Renal Care Cookbook tosses tender orzo with sweet dried cherries and crisp diced apples. A drizzle of olive oil and fresh lemon juice brightens each bite, and a topping of crumbled blue cheese and blanched almonds gives it a punch of flavor with a satisfying crunch.
Be sure to talk with your dietitian to see how this recipe fits your care plan before you make a batch.

Thinking about a dialysis center closer to home, or one with a schedule that better fits your life? Innovative Renal Care is ready to welcome you. Transferring from another clinic to an IRC center is more straightforward than you may think. It's done in five steps, and a care coordinator handles many of them for you:

2. Visit and see how it feels
3. Tell your nephrologist, so your care continues uninterrupted
4. Your new center asks your current center for your records
5. Your new care team welcomes you and gets you started
And never worry, your spot on the transplant waitlist is not affected when you transfer.

September is , a reminder that pain is an important part of the whole-health conversation.

For patients living with certain health conditions, chronic pain can affect quality of life, daily activities, mood and relationships. Research supported by the National Institutes of Health is helping advance our understanding of how to better address chronic pain conversations and resolutions.

Dialysis treatment itself should not be painful. But if you're living with pain, during treatment or in your everyday life, talk to your care team. Understanding what you're experiencing is an important step toward finding the right support.

More than 500,000 Americans live with ADPKD, the more common form of polycystic kidney disease, or PKD, according to the PKD Foundation. PKD is a chronic, genetic disease that causes fluid-filled cysts to develop and grow in the kidneys without control, destroying healthy tissue in the process. Over time, this can lead to high blood pressure and often kidney failure.
September 4 is PKD Awareness Day. The PKD Foundation recognizes it each year to spread the word about PKD and invite people to raise their voice. You can take part by learning more about PKD and sharing reliable information with the people in your life.
Talk with your care team about how PKD may relate to your own kidney health. Learn more about PKD Awareness Day from the PKD Foundation: https://pkdcure.org/get-involved/awarenessday/

Feeling strong and staying active starts with small choices you make today!

The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Public Health says preventing disease and promoting health across your whole life is the key to staying healthy.

September is Healthy Aging Month, a good time to revisit the basics. Safe movement and good nutrition are two easy places to begin. Regular checkups help catch small issues before they become bigger ones. Staying connected with people you love and finding ways to manage stress round out the picture.

Talk with your care team about which of these fits best into your routine right now. Explore healthy aging resources and tips from the ODPHP:
