Doctors Hospital hosts EMS Appreciation Week Lunch
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – Doctors Hospital in Augusta hosted a special EMS Appreciation Week Lunch on Thursday, May 22. EMS workers throughout the CSRA are being highlighted this week, especially for their heroic efforts during Hurricane Helene. 'Those guys were out there day in and day out, leaving their families, they had their own damaged homes, their own issues they had with their families, and they worked through that night and day,' said Gary Coker, president of Central EMS. 'So this year, we actually have a special what's called the challenge coin and this coin is to recognize the great work that our EMS providers did, going out trying to get through sometimes nearly impassable roads to get people to care,' said Joanna Conley, CEO of Doctors Hospital. 'And so, we really wanted to take a moment to recognize them for all their great work.' Photojournalist credit: Gary Hipps Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

'Lose 5lbs really fast' with doctor's 3 easy weight loss tips
Losing weight may be easier than you think with these easy and simple habits. Losing weight can feel like an impossible challenge, especially as we near the warmer months, when many of us feel pressure to have a 'summer body'. But losing a few pounds doesn't have to be impossible. And one social media doctor has shared some simple tips that he says can help you "lose five pounds really fast." Dr Eric Berg boasts a staggering 17 million YouTube subscribers, and over a million TikTok followers. He often shares health advice on his platform, including dieting and weight loss advice. One video on his TikTok page shows him listing some easy tips and tricks to shed a few pounds in a short period of time. Some of these are easy habits you can build up over time, and one is a quick health -boosting drink you can easily make. Here are Dr Berg's easy weight loss tips. Walk for 10 minutes after eating The health expert said: "The first tip is simple. Walk 10 minutes after every time you eat. Exercise can burn off glucose so it's not converted into fat." Website Doctors Hospital explains that walking after eating can help burn extra calories. They say that on average, a person who weighs around 11 stone will burn about 100 calories per mile walking at a mild pace. And walking longer or faster can increase the amount of calories you burn. The average person takes about 20 minutes to walk a mile, so a 30-minute walk after a meal at a mild pace could help you burn up to 150 calories. Drink water with apple cider vinegar and cinnamon Dr Berg recommends drinking apple cider vinegar with a pinch of cinnamon in a glass of water, three times a day. He says this will "help you stabilise your blood sugar and reduce your cravings for carbohydrates." Many health influencers claim that apple cider vinegar boasts weight-loss benefits by increasing metabolism and encouraging calorie burning, and the ingredient has blown up on social media in recent times. However, there is little scientific evidence to back up these claims. But News Medical explains that cinnamon, on the other hand, is high in fibre, and can therefore help reduce food cravings by promoting a feeling of satiety and fullness. Cinnamon can also boost metabolism, since the body uses more energy to process the spice than it does for other foods. Combine intermittent fasting with a low-carb diet The expert, who specialises in intermittent fasting, said: "These two together are going to completely reduce your hunger and cravings." Dr Berg recommended fasting for 18 hours, and having a window of six hours where you eat a day. He said: "Your first meal is at lunchtime, at 12pm, and your second meal is at 6pm. Keep those meals low-carb, force the body to go after its own fat reserves, and appetite goes down to zero." Dr Berg's recommendation may seem extreme, but there are easier levels of intermittent fasting that can boast similar benefits to the body. The late Dr Michael Mosley was also a big advocate for intermittent fasting for weight loss, and his diets involved less extreme options than Dr Berg's, such as trying a nine-hour eating window rather than six. Another of Mosley's diets, the Fast 800, involves choosing two days a week where you consume only 800 calories, and eating a healthy balanced diet for the rest of the week. When trying to lose weight, the most important thing to remember is to set yourself realistic restrictions that are within your capabilities. Although Dr Berg mentioned Ozempic in his video, it is not marketed by manufacturers Novo Nordisk as a weight loss drug and is prescribed to those with Type 2 diabetes to help manage their condition by controlling blood sugar levels alongside other medications.
