Being healthy no longer meant that one was just mentally and physically capable, it meant that one was living a full life with meaning and purpose.

We’ll be back in the winter with another issue of Mountain Living Magazine, but until then, stay happy and healthy and enjoy the journey.

It’s probably the most important thing that each of us have to monitor in our ev eryday life, and yet our idea of health has changed over time.

This important clarification suggested that health was an amalgamation of factors that supported one’s ability to function communities and society at large.

It’s overwhelming when your life is turned upside down from a natural disaster, or other emergency situation.

Now, more than 40 years after that, as we continue to fend off the ever-encroaching pandemic, it seems

as though we are in need of a new definition One that encapsulates our new and volatile relationship with masks and vaccines, one that considers the global ram ifications of an unhealthy society and one that under stands how health can be the one thing that keeps us from the brink of precarity.

Back in 1948, the World Health Organization defined this impalpable concept as “a state of mplete physical, mental, and social well being and not merely the ab sence of disease or infirmity.”

Nearly 40 years later, they elaborated, stating that it was rather, “A resource for everyday life, not the objective of living.”

ou’re hungry. It’s only been a couple hours since you ate breakfast, so you grab a quick snack to hold you till lunch A couple hours afterlunch,you’rehungryagain.What’swith that?Yougrabasnacktoholdyoutillthenext meal

The human body can be as complicated as the cos mos, but for all its intricate details there are a few ba sic needs that, if fulfilled, go far to keep it healthy and happy. One of them, a healthy diet, can make the dif ference between thriving and dealing with major health issues, including feeling hungry all the time

The Stomach Speaks

The hunger mechanism, those rumblings from an empty tummy, is your body’s way of whining for what it needs: Good grade fuel to keep you energized,think ing clearly and feeling healthy. Generally a meal will keep your stomach busy for a couple hours breaking down the food with its alchemy of acids and enzymes into a pulpy mess called chyme and passing the chyme incrementally into the small intestines by way of con tractions

The best way to prevent Type 2 diabetes is to know your risks: having a family member who has diabetes (espe cially a sibling), being overweight, not being active and giving birth to a child 9 pounds or greater (gestational diabetes). Next, eat sustainably, exercise and get regular check-ups.

“Most patients,” Chapman continued, “once they’re diagnosed, studies show they’ve probably had diabetes for at least five years without even knowing. And within those five years that they’ve had diabetes without knowing, they’re not taking care of themselves and dam age is happening to their body.”

A difference that can mean not feeling hungry all the time.

“People say to me,‘I don’t feel bad,so I must be okay,’” Chapman said. “You can be very healthy and have no clue you might have diabetes. The key is getting check ups.See your doctor on a regular basis

“Good food can get your blood sugar under control and your health back to what it should be,” Chapman said.

“A person can live without problems with 50% of their insulin,” Chapman said,“but they have to make changes If they don’t start making changes or start taking care of themselves by taking oral medications,they will get to the point of needing insulin. That is a fact.”

Chapman said eating too many empty carbs could eventually wear out your pancreas’s beta cells. Your beta cells produce and release the insulin needed to lower your body’s blood sugar levels Without a sufficient amount of insulin you can develop Type 2 diabetes, which is occurring twice as much as it did 10 years ago. Age and gender matter not; pediatricians report seeing signs in their patients About 10% of Arizona’s

population has received a diabetes diagnosis Many people go undiagnosed.

By the time you receive a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis, Chapman said your pancreas has probably had up to half its beta cells burned out. This means your pancreas must work harder to produce the insulin needed.

“One of the things I tell people,” Chapman said, “is whenever you eat something, think about it Like an or ange versus a candy bar, the orange is going to be so much more beneficial to your body than that candy bar because of the vitamins, minerals and energy for your body.

Eliminating or drastically cutting down on your sugar sources can make a substantial difference. In the American diet this would be soda, energy and sports drinks,and desserts in that order. Chapman suggested switching sugary drinks with water.

If you are suffering from neuropathy or poor circulation, make an appointment to see a doctor. Or, if you ’ re not from medication or treatment, a second opinion may be helpful to determine the cause of the tingling, cramping, pain, or numbness in your feet.

If you answered “yes,” you may have PAD and should talk to a doctor at CiC about your symptoms.

If leg numbness or burning is keeping you from doing the things you love, ask one of the specialists at CiC about peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Dr. Joel Rainwater

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that involves damage to the nerves in your feet Symptoms include muscle cramping, difficulty walking, burning, tingling, numbness, and pain In many cases, it’s caused by diabetes, but poor circulation can also cause these symptoms or make them worse.

In an effort to help those dealing with seniors with Alzheimer’s, the Alzheimer’s Association suggests the following tips to achieve better communication in spite of the disease.

CINDY HARRIS

It is important to not only be patient but also supportive when trying to communicate. Take the time to listen with no interruptions or criticisms. Offer encour agement and reassurance that he or she can take the time needed to try to form thoughts into proper words and try to resist correcting misused words Many times there is meaning behind those words and if you take the time you may discover the intended meaning. Focus on the emotion that may lie within the words. Nuances in voice tone as well as hand gestures and facial expressions can all be critical in fully understanding the senior.

T

ond, caregivers and family members need to learn how to assist in communication and to identify and adapt their own com munication styles to those of the individual Alzheimer’s sufferer

he most debilitative and indicative symptom of Alzheimer’s disease is the gradual loss of words and understanding that are crucial to even the most basic communication that most of us take for granted. Alzheimer’s patients realize there is a problem, even though they may not have the capacity to under stand what is happening. This can cause instances of confusion, fright and frustration for the person with Alzheimer’s disease as well as for loved ones and caregivers of those with Alzheimer’s.

At times you may become angry or frus trated, yourself, but understand that criticizing or arguing only serves to increase

First, it is important to learn to recognize the changes in communication and behavior in those with Alzheimer’s. Sec-

“I think one thing that’s really cool about what we offer is that a family might come in to see Maya for lactation, and then she notices that they might benefit from seeing Betsy,” Martinez said. “It’s a really cool way to get linked into an inter disciplinary team that really looks at the whole family from multiple lenses It’s a unique opportunity that you might not get if you were to see a physical therapist or chi ropractor alone or any practitioner individually.”

a collective aimed to help families with every step of birthing and be ginning their parenting journey This means that no births happen at the collective’s center located on Steves Blvd in east Flagstaff, but their professionals often go out to help with home births on location. Betsy Decker, D C prenatal, post partum and pediatric chiropractor, said there is power in numbers when it comes to supporting Flag staff families.

xpecting parents have so many things to worry about in the months leading up to their child’s birth There’s the birth itself, there’s the aftermath, there’s the prenatal care and the list goes on While it can seem overwhelming, especially for new parents, Flagstaff Birth Collective is exactly the type of re source created to help guide them through their questions, concerns and worries Flagstaff Birth Col lective (FBC) is a group of women health care practitioners and busi ness owners who specialize in peri natal health services.

FBC is made up of around ten practitioners, who specialize in different areas of perinatal health such as chiropractic care, mid wifery and homebirth, lactation support, acupuncture and herbal medicine, massage therapy, pelvic floor physical therapy, pediatric physical therapy, lymphatic mas sage, reiki and feminine embodi ment guiding. This group previ ously worked together at Flagstaff Birth Center, but when it closed, they were looking for a way to keep their community together. FBC was born December 2021 and has been working to engage the com munity since.
