Ohio State’s Health and Fitness Center ⋅ 150 w. Main St., New Albany, OH

There is no routine fitness program.

Every person is different. Age, weight, genetics, and fitness goals, vary dramatically for each of us.

So every person’s path to health and fitness must, therefore, be customized for them. Nothing routine about it. That doesn’t happen at a typical fitness facility. But it can, and will, for you starting now.

At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s Health and Fitness Center, we offer customized fitness plans based on one-on-one assessments. Unlimited access to personal health coaching. Inspiring group classes taught by experts. Research-backed knowledge from Ohio State. The most advanced equipment and technology in central Ohio. And we’re bringing it all right to the heart of New Albany.

We are revolutionizing personalized health, and nothing about it is routine.

first glance

It’s Your Choice Following my early morning workouts, I can often be seen bringing breakfast to my Healthy New Albany office.

I clear my desk so that I may convert it to a temporary eating quarter. One morning, a colleague peered through the glass door of my office and noticed my breakfast bag, which was from one of the largest fast food restaurant chains in the country. She approached my desk, looking aghast.

“Aren’t you embarrassed to order something from that restaurant?” she said.

“Do you know what I’m about to eat?” I responded.

“It doesn’t matter,” she retorted. “I feel you shouldn’t be bringing in greasy, high-calorie junk to this health facility.”

As she awaited my next reply, I stared at her momentarily, grinned and proceeded to pull out the container of hot oatmeal from its bag and empty the accompanying pouch of diced apples into this unsweetened cereal that was fortified with nutrients. I smiled and began to eat my cereal with full confidence that nothing more needed to be said.

“Oh,” she said.

As depicted in this photo, I am surrounded by reminders of the numerous food establishments that are a part of my immediate and nearby community. Some may offer more healthful choices than others. And even if some of the restaurants I

www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

visit are known as purveyors of healthful and nutritious foods, the fact remains that even in these restaurants, the food options available can be detrimental to my well-being.

Sure, I can order a veggie burger from a nearby restaurant that sources its foods locally and prides itself on its large selection of organic ingredients. But I can also order soaked-inoil French fries as a side dish with a tall glass of highly sweetened soda with unlimited free refills.

I hope you read editor Sarah Sole’s article about an individual who had made a positive impact on his health via an experiment with food selection and exercise. My intention is not to endorse or critique any particular food establishment.

Rather, one should not assume that healthful choices aren’t available in restaurants often criticized for their unhealthful offerings. Consider making healthful food selections based upon what and not where you choose to eat.

Healthfully,

Phil Heit, Executive Editor

Healthy at Any Age

Heit Center evaluation helped establish ideal fitness plan

I

got hooked on running when I was in graduate school.

While I was at Bowling Green State University, I started going to a running clinic. I told myself I was going to do a 5K before I turned 40 and, much to my satisfaction, I did.

My husband and I began running 5Ks and 10Ks together. Eventually, though, we realized the exercise was taking a toll on our bodies. One of my husband’s knees needed to be replaced. Six months ago, he got the other one replaced as well. At 72, I realized I probably needed to focus more on walking than running.

Once I joined the New Albany Walking Club, I learned about the plans for the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany from the man himself. The thing about it that impressed me the most was the center’s holistic approach to health. I had been trying for some time then to figure out a balanced approach to exercise and nutrition, but I felt overwhelmed by the wealth of information available on the Internet. It was difficult to sort through it all and know what information I could trust.

I loved the idea of having a team of experts who could work with me on my own health plan, for nutrition as well as fitness. About a year and a half before the center opened, I fell and ended up with a compound fracture of L-1 (first vertebra of the lumbar spine). I was in a rehab facility for about three weeks. Regaining strength for even simple walking, bathing and dressing myself required a lot of effort.

I had also been diagnosed with mild osteoporosis in 2010 and, thanks to race walking and weight lifting, I had a statistically significant increase in bone mineral density in my lumbar spine and got off medication. I was eager to keep that mo-

mentum going by finding a fitness regimen that would challenge me safely.

After talking with John Paro – general manager of Integrated Wellness Partners, which manages the center’s fitness area – I knew I wanted to participate in the wellness coaching program. People always used to tell me that I was in great shape, but I wanted to continue creating a fuller, richer and long life for myself.

I did the comprehensive wellness review, and the outcomes showed I was in much better shape than I thought.

The fitness coaches told me that I was in better shape than some 45-year-olds.

That was a huge shocker to me.

From the body composition portion of the review, I learned I needed to lose 15 pounds. With a plan focusing on nutrition and exercise, I was able to shed the weight in three months and keep it off. I worked with Nutritionist Lauren Blake on a nutrition plan. I lost the first five pounds pretty quickly, but then I found myself at a standstill. After Lauren suggested I use the phone application MyFitnessPal, I started counting calories. That really made a difference and helped me drop the 10 pounds quickly.

I worked with Health Coach Allan Sommer on interval training. I do the half marathon at the New Albany Walking Classic, and I wanted to improve my speed. Even though I placed first in my age division in 2013 and 2014, I still wanted to remain competitive. To make sure I was being mindful of my back, I worked on physical therapy with Certified Orthopaedic Specialist Lori Deshetler, who I knew from a previous TRX class I took. Another fitness specialist at the center, Caroline Hillman, was instrumental in designing a weight program for me. I have been able to accomplish all of this while being free of back pain for over two years.

Everyone at the Heit Center was so supportive, especially when I sustained a couple of injuries over course of the year. I ended up with an inflamed sciatic nerve, and my sacroiliac joint went out of place a couple of times. Lori put the joint back in place for me and gave me exercises to strengthen the area. I haven’t had any problems with it since.

Because of my age, I could have felt isolated at the center, but I found my wellness coaches and exercise classmates

to be wonderful. When I’m at Barre Burn, Body Pump and Pop Pilates, many of the people around me are in their 30s, 40s and early 50s, but I find myself fitting right in. I love visiting the center and look forward to going each day.

Cultivating Success New Albany High School principal aims to sow seeds of prosperity throughout the community

G

rowing up, many individuals can recall special teachers who played significant roles in their lives.

New Albany High School Principal Dwight Carter aims to become that extraordinary educator for future students, following the lead of one of his favorite teachers.

“For me, it was my third grade teacher, Mrs. Fanecki,” Carter says. “She was wonderful to everyone. She would come in early and stay after hours. She provided lunch, when needed, and cared for her students immensely.”

One instance with Mrs. Fanecki stands out for Carter and continues to 10

be a part of a lesson he teaches today: a lesson in learning.

“She had a contest to see who could learn times tables the fastest, and the top three performers would get to go on a trip to Kings Island,” Carter says. “One day, she caught me using my hand, trying to cheat. I remember like it was yesterday. She straight up called me out for it. But instead of punishing me, she taught me how to study at home and use flash cards. I worked my tail off, and I got to Kings Island.”

From there, Carter felt called to plant the seed of success for future genera-

tions, an opportunity he knew he could best pursue through education.

“We, as educators, have the greatest level of influence on young minds,” Carter says. “We have to understand that influence and the responsibility that come with all of this. There has to be a love for helping people grow. That’s what it’s all about.”

From the delivery to the content and curriculum, the 22-year education veteran aims to develop four core skills for each student: creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and communication.

“I want to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels they www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

belong,” Carter says. “If the students feel valued, they’ll be engaged. They will be invested. They will achieve. It’s hard when you don’t feel like you belong, which is why I believe in creating a human connection with everyone – students, staff, community members.

These are the people who can develop who they are and who they become.”

Carter’s first steps to achieving this dream began as he pursued a higher education at Wittenberg University. From there, Carter went on to hold teaching and administrative positions at various schools, including Gahanna Middle School South and Gahanna Lincoln High School.

Experiences at the high school level taught Carter the value of creating a proactive, but also friendly, bond with students.

“A couple seniors approached me during a Lunch on the Lawn event and said, “’Mr. Carter, can we have a dodgeball tournament against the staff?’” he says. “It was on. I wrote a ‘be there’ email and started stretching in my office. They beat us pretty bad, but I played three games. The teachers really stepped up, and it was so good for the kids, and definitely one of the highlights of the year – a simple impromptu dodgeball game.”

Community-wide togetherness is something Carter hopes to promote in New Albany. As a new member of the community, he says he was welcomed with open arms. This has shaped a great mental landscape in the second-year principal’s mind.

“There’s such a great deal of support for everyone to live at a high level,” he says. “The amount of parental involvement is amazing. The community involvement is fantastic. These people truly want to partner with the schools to make them the best. They bring in outstanding, highly successful and inspiring professionals to come speak and motivate.”

Combine the enthusiastic energy of the New Albany population with the emphasis on health, and you have a recipe for long-term success, Carter says.

Carter has an athletic career of his own, including a stint as a wide receiver in the football program and a hurdler during his time at Wittenberg. However, after sustaining a herniated disc and leg injury, he has toned down his workout regimen to promote more practical, everyday fitness. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Dwight Carter’s 4 Keys to Success 1) Be Relational – Early outlooks on life are shaped by life experiences with friends, family and educators.

2) Be Enthusiastic – Nothing great was achieved without enthusiasm.

3) Be Authentic – Kids will always sniff you out if you’re a phony.

4) Be Teachable – If you will learn, more opportunities will come. I don’t know everything, but I’m willing to learn and try new things.

“My wife introduced me to a trainer two years ago,” he says. “She would come home, excited after her workout, and I would just be there, watching TV. I realized that, in this busy time, health had taken a back seat. I, myself, needed to be teachable. That trainer had me doing exercises I had never done and pushed me out of comfort. I was used to benching and squats – the larger muscle exercises. He had me doing Crossfit and MMA-style workouts – higher, quicker reps, which were painful at first. I was exhausted, but feeling great.”

Carter lives in Pickerington and is looking for the proper timing and option to send him, his wife, Samantha, and their 2-year-old daughter “bundle of joy,” Gabrielle, to the New Albany area.

Outside of physical fitness, family life and professional endeavors, Carter is an avid reader, turning to creative thinking and educational pieces to challenge his thought process. However, the Bible is his all-time favorite mainstay.

“I like to cross reference stories and chapters throughout the book,” Carter says. “This has been a habit for more than 17 years now. Proverbs, Romans, the Gospels, letters written by Paul – they’re all deep, ancient pieces of wisdom that are applicable to every generation across time. I like to read stories about people who struggled while transforming into a better person, but did so against adversity.”

One verse that significantly stands out to him is Psalm 91:1.

“I went through a dark time, and this was actually given to me by a student,” Carter says. “The verse really resonated with me. It built a new foundation for my life and gave me a sense of purpose.”

Throughout his first year as principal at the high school, Carter faced a few difficulties, but was met with enthusiasm and optimism. As the community continues to embrace him, he looks forward to returning the favor and leading the youth of the city.

“It was a challenging year, but I used the time to get to know the people,” he says. “I remind myself and everyone around me, every day, to simply ‘be great.’ That’s my mantra. ‘How can I be greater than I was yesterday?’”

An Ounce (or Six) of Prevention

A look at the wellness coaches of the Heit Center

T

hree physical therapists, one athletic trainer, one exercise physiologist, one dietician. They have different backgrounds and a diverse range of experiences both personal and professional.

One thing they have in common: the belief that the best wellness plans focus on prevention, not treatment.

Another: They’re all wellness coaches at the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany. The wellness coaching program is part of the Health 14

From left to right, Jodi Kuri, Lauren Blake, Lori Deshetler and Kenneth Kirby

and Fitness Center at the Heit Center and is administered by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

Healthy New Albany spoke with the coaches to learn more about their backgrounds, their passions, and their own favorite fitness activities. We’ve featured the four coaches who have been with the Heit Center since it opened.

Check out the online version of this article to learn about two new coaches who recently joined the wellness team. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Jodi Kuri

Training: Physical therapy Alma Mater: Ohio University Home: Lewis Center Personal Fitness Activities: Boxing, yoga, running, strength training Jodi Kuri manages the wellness coaching program and assessment team at the Heit Center, as well as the physical therapy program.

She has been a practicing physical therapist for 18 years and has focused on prevention for the last 10, though that area has increased significantly of late at OSU. “This is the first time we’ve really taken a step in preventative medicine at Ohio State,” Kuri says.

The key, Kuri says, is to focus not on individual fitness activities, but on behavioral changes to create long-term health benefits.

“If you’re not … changing a longterm behavior that you’ve had, then your success rates are very low,” she says.

She recalls a physical therapy client who had long struggled with weight and body mass issues. She had him focus on small steps, helping him lose 25 pounds in three months – which put him in better physical shape, so he could step up his exercise regimen and lose even more weight.

Kuri’s seen firsthand the effect of behavioral change. Her family – husband Michael, daughter Sidney and son Alex – recently transitioned to better eating habits, and Michael alone has lost 50 pounds.

Lauren Blake

Training: Dietetics Alma Mater: Miami University Home: German Village Personal Fitness Activities: Running, yoga, barre classes Lauren Blake’s field may be diet and nutrition, but she wears a lot of hats within it: coaching at the center, doing a la carte nutrition consultations, teaching classes, putting on cooking demonstrations and working with local restaurants to put healthful items on their menus.

“Even though I worked in patient clinical nutrition, my focus has always been on wellness, weight loss and preventative nutrition,” Blake says. “That’s where my passion really is.”

She has worked in nutrition for five years and has been a practicing dietician for two. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Blake ran track and cross-country in college and began to notice early on how her nutrition affected her athletic performance, sparking her interest in dietetics.

One of her favorite ways to utilize her training is to incorporate nutritious ingredients into top-notch recipes, making healthful food delicious and approachable and making it easier for her and her husband, Richard, to eat right. She frequently posts recipes on her blog, www. wholelivinglauren.com.

“I always say I was a foodie before I was a dietician,” says Blake.

Blake points to behavioral change as a catalyst for good nutrition. It’s not as simple as telling someone what to eat, she says; a holistic plan needs to include proper diet, exercise, sleep, scheduling and stress levels.

Lori Deshetler

Training: Physical therapy Alma Mater: University of Miami Home: New Albany Personal Fitness Activities: Group fitness, Pilates, TRX classes Lori Deshetler knew for a long time that she wanted to go into medicine, but it wasn’t until she learned about the close relationship with clients it would entail that she realized physical therapy was right for her.

Deshetler has now been practicing for 23 years.

Getting patients back up to full function and improving their quality of life after an injury or other setback, helping them maximize their potential, makes it worthwhile for Deshetler.

“Even (though) there are still some things we can’t change, there’s a lot we can do that’s positive,” she says.

She has long pursued a process that focuses on prevention, going beyond the treatment of injuries, so wellness coaching makes perfect sense for her.

“You want to be active, not reactive, and so much in medicine is reactive,” says Deshetler.

OSU and the Heit Center are ahead of the game on developing proactive health care models, she says, and she looks forward to making further positive change in that direction.

“It’s been refreshing to go a different route with the coaching,” she says.

Deshetler and her husband, Don, have three sons: Cameron, Drew and Colby.

Kenneth Kirby

Training: Physical therapy Alma Mater: Duke University Home: Hilliard Personal Fitness Activities: Cardio (elliptical, treadmill, rowing machine), strength training Kenneth Kirby began practicing physical therapy since 2006.

But before he was a Blue Devil, he was a junior high student with a great physical therapist for a mentor.

Kirby’s interest in physical therapy “stems from bettering my own personal health and then using that knowledge … to assist others to make the same transition,” he says.

Kirby has noticed as health care has trended toward preventive medicine for some time, and he likes being part of a program that improves health and fitness levels and decreases medical expenses.

One of his best memories as a wellness coach was with a client who was able to make substantial changes to his situation, allowing him to reduce the medications he was taking. “(The client) was so excited,” Kirby says. “It was such a wonderful experience to see him and get feedback from him as well as his physician.”

It’s crucial for wellness coaches to practice what they preach in order to gain clients’ trust, Kirby says. He works hard to stay in shape and – since he and his wife, Jenna, welcomed the birth of their now 16-month-old son, Tripp – he can relate to clients who need to balance their wellness with their other commitments.

Strong Women, Strong Community NAWN fall charity work includes fashion show and tea

A

group of women in New Albany uses fashion for philanthropy every fall.

While the New Albany Women’s Network always holds its annual charity fashion show – a fashion show and tea party – is a little different.

The show will be hosted by Jefferson Country Club, also a departure from past years. It will start with a silent auction, during which appetizers will be served and a cash bar will be available, complete with a signature drink. In keeping with the theme, there will also be a hot tea bar. Speakers and presentations will follow the silent auction. New Albany’s own Ellie Merritt of NBC Channel 4 will anchor the fashion show this year.

The piéce de rèsistance, the fashion show, is last. The fashion show portion is facilitated in part by New Albany and Columbus boutiques, including Belles and Beaux, Children’s Cheesecake Boutique, Ladybird and Pure Barre. The pieces featured will be current and chic, with an emphasis on the fall and winter months.

The fashion shows usually raise about $15,000 for the chosen charity, and some 250 people will attend this year’s show. All proceeds will go directly to this year’s beneficiary, 1girl. The charity was founded at The Ohio State University and consists mostly of collegeaged members who volunteer their time.

1girl members will be participating in the event as speakers, as well as models in the fashion show.

If You Go

The New Albany Women’s Network’s Charity Fashion Show and Tea Party will take place 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Nov. 14 at Jefferson Country Club in Blacklick. Tickets are available at www.nawn.org. Attendees can buy individual tickets for $45, or book a table of 10 for $400.

The current NAWN board

1girl works with middle schoolaged girls around Columbus. The girls are taught skills such as critical thinking, conflict resolution, goal setting and public speaking. It helps young girls develop the skills to succeed in high school and beyond, and to explore leadership roles and skills to emerge as strong and confident young women.

“We love their mission and what they’re trying to do within the OSU community,” says Terri Erlenbach, communications director and fashion show chairwoman. “Our organization is trying to enrich New Albany and Columbus at the same time, so it’s a great fit for us.”

While one of NAWN’s main goals is strengthening the New Albany community, the main mission of its charity work has always been focusing specifically on helping women and children in central Ohio. Most of the charities it works with directly benefit that demographic.

NAWN works with organizations in New Albany and Greater Columbus. It also earmarks a special fund for New Albany-specific causes, such as scholarships for local students and funding for New Albany’s Safety Town program.

NAWN is a dual social and charitable foundation. Social events may include casual get-togethers at a member’s house or local restaurant, or larger, more formal events. But many of these social gatherings double as philanthropic opportunities.

“In August, we had an accessory swap,” says President Heather Buchanan. “Everyone brought a piece to be donated to the organization Dress for Success.”

In September, members collected donations for the Village Coalition Against Hunger.

The charities NAWN works with are chosen through an application process.

The only criterion is that charities applywww.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Some of the action from the 2013 fashion show

ing must benefit central Ohio women and children in some way. From there, a process to whittle down applicants begins, culminating in a vote by the board.

In general, the chosen charities are smaller organizations with less fundraising capacity than larger, more established ones.

NAWN was founded in 1998 by 10 women who had a vision of fostering a sense of community and philanthropy in New Albany. As the organization ages and expands, it is trying to maintain its tradition and consistency while at the same time keeping up with the times and the needs of the community. The past year has seen an increase in social media use for the organization, and preparation for a new website. Cycling through new leadership every two years keeps the organization ready with new ideas and fresh energy. Almost 300 women are members.

This year NAWN is in the process of putting out its very own cookbook as a fundraiser. Keeping in touch with its roots in the community, the organization is hoping to get local restaurants to contribute recipes alongside their own members’ recipes. Another new project will be a holiday gift drive held in partnership with New AlbanyPlain Local Schools.

“NAWN is a great group of women; it’s great to work side by side with them www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

for what we’re doing,” Buchanan says.

“It’s also a great way to get to know people here (in New Albany).”

Rolling On New Albany incorporates cycling into its master plan

N

ationwide, since 2001, the number of cyclists increased by 39 percent, and the number of people cycling to work increased by 60 percent.

Locally, those numbers could be even higher, fueled in large part by Pelotonia ridership. Because of this growth, in 2012, New Albany officials worked to make our city an official part of U.S. Bicycle Route 50, one of the longest bike routes in America stretching from Washington, D.C. all the way to San Francisco.

Many communities, including New Albany, are undertaking planning efforts to understand how to better accommodate and promote cycling. Last year, as part of New Albany’s Strategic Plan update, the city conducted a transportation study to evaluate all the ways in which people get from one point to another, including cycling.

This study confirmed the important role New Albany’s leisure trails play for families and leisure riders. It also revealed a large growth in the number of cyclists and cycling clubs us-

18

ing the city’s rural road corridors for longer, faster group rides.

These different types of riders on different types of infrastructure led the city to embark on a five-month-long effort to create a bike master plan.

www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Discover Where to Recover!

A steering committee was formed, consisting of cyclists and clubs throughout New Albany. Hundreds of residents and cycling enthusiasts took part in a public workshop and community bike ride. Riders discussed their feelings about cycling along road and trail conditions and shared ideas about what bicycle accommodations they would like to see in New Albany. The city’s website provided opportunities for hundreds more to provide input about biking in and around the community.

The bike master plan is divided into six sections, with each section building upon the others, to foster cycling in and around New Albany.

Infrastructure – This section examines different types of infrastructure needed to encourage cycling and support the needs of all types of riders.

Hubs, connectors, sharrows, protected lanes, on-street and intersection facilities, shared roadways, loops, and trails are all part of this section.

New Albany Velo Loop – Building on the foundation established in the infrastructure section, the Velo Loop is a five-mile cycle track loop developed with the help of the steering committee.

This loop creates on-street bicycle facilities that are inviting to less experienced cyclists because of the physical separation from traffic that is a characteristic of cycle tracks. This loop also creates multiple New Albany connectivity opportunities, introduces a unique and identifiable bicycle gateway, and will encourage increased ridership.

Cycling Hubs & Amenities – This section considers the types and locations of facilities and hubs necessary for cyclists to safely reach a destination.

The section also delves into other amenities that can encourage continued cycling in the community. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Choosing Wisely Biology teacher’s fast food experiment taught him the value of choice

B

efore embarking on an experimental McDonald’s diet that would ultimately leave him 60 pounds lighter, substitute biology teacher John Cisna hardly ever ate fast food.

Instead, the 56-year-old says he was a big fan of meat and potatoes. As head baseball coach at Colo-NESCO Junior-Senior High School in Colo, Iowa, he would eat a large breakfast, then come home in the evenings, consume 3,000 calories and go to bed.

A former Iowa State University baseball player, Cisna experienced weight gain gradually and describes himself as a recovering food-aholic. His friends used to call him Snack Bar. Since he’s lost his weight, his new nickname is Snack Bar Jr. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

John Cisna visited the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany at the end of June while he was in town for a Columbus presentation.

“Every day is still a challenge, but I’m on top of it,” he says.

Cisna’s six-month McDonald’s diet, coupled with exercise, taught him the impact choice can have on wellness.

“It’s not the food that makes you fat. It’s the amount of it that makes you fat,” he says.

The diet came about when Cisna, then a full-time teacher, was searching for a class experiment for his sophomore biology students at Colo-NESCO. After meeting an owner of several McDonald’s franchises, an idea came to him. What if he tried to get healthy by eating nothing but McDonald’s?

21

As Cisna and his students set to work in September 2013, they used McDonald’s online menu builder to track 15 different nutrients and gave the teacher a 2,000 calorie diet. They didn’t stick to salads, either. His students were able to assemble 56 different meal plans.

Healthy New Albany Director of Marketing and Operations Kristin Ferguson, right, shows John Cisna, middle, some of the exercise equipment at the Heit Center while Phil Heit looks on.

The students decided that it was more important to meet guidelines for daily nutritional value allowances than

caloric intake. A meal plan that included a 600-calorie Bacon & Cheese Quarter Pounder, for example, had a total caloric value of 1,530.

Cisna also measured his bloodwork at different points during the experiment.

His beginning test exhibited numbers that put him at risk for heart disease. His cholesterol and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) levels were high, and his triglycerides number was borderline high.

He was so surprised about his results 45 days into his trial that he called the lab to make sure the blood was his.

His cholesterol and triglycerides were in the desirable range, LDL was near ideal, and glucose, while a little higher than it was before the experiment, was still in the desirable range.

“It was incredible,” he says.

His total cholesterol went from 249 mg/dL on Sept. 16 to 189 mg/dL on Nov. 1. LDL went from 170 to 129, and

triglycerides from 156 to 94. By Dec. 14, his total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides dropped even further, to 170, 113 and 80 mg/dL, respectively.

It was impossible for Cisna to remain within the recommended daily salt allowance while on his fast food diet.

Still, when he checked his electrolyte levels, all three ions were within normal range. This shows, he says, that the body can get rid of excess salt. He also drank at least a gallon of water per day, which helped flush out the mineral.

Still, Cisna stresses that a diet of solely fast food is not viable, feasible or cost-effective. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

“This was nothing more than an experiment,” he says.

Cisna also paid attention to keeping a regular eating schedule during his experiment. On his way to school, he would eat breakfast at 7 a.m. Lunch was at 11:30 a.m., and supper followed at 6 p.m.

“It was steady the whole way through,” he says.

Before the experiment, Cisna almost never exercised. For the first 90 days of the experiment, he walked 45 minutes per day, 4-5 days per week, to burn roughly 240-250 calories.

A week passed before he was able to walk for 45 minutes.

“I was psychologically beaten that day,” he says of his first attempt.

For the experiment’s second half, Cisna stepped up his physical activity, working with a trainer. After he lost his 50th pound, he found he couldn’t lose more.

“That needle didn’t move one ounce in two and a half weeks,” he says.

Cisna’s body was actually conserving fat to stay healthy, since he was still consuming around 2,000 calories per day while exercising more than he did

New Albany Public Information Officer Scott McAfee shares his wellness habits In a new section in Healthy New Albany Magazine, we talk to prominent national or community figures who have made their mark on Columbus in some way and learn about what they do on a regular basis to stay healthy. We had a chance to talk with New Albany Public Information Officer Scott McAfee.

Healthy New Albany: Are there any foods that you avoid or emphasize?

Scott McAfee: I love vegetables and fruits, and I try to have a lot of color in my diet. I generally get my protein from meats, and I don’t worry much about fat intake. I try to have desserts and processed white flour products in moderation, because those items are my weight gain trigger.

HNA: What are your favorite ways to stay active?

SM: I feel better when I’m moving. I love to run. Running while vacationing is a great way to experience a new place; and here at home, I can run outside well into the winter as long as the temperatures stay above 10 degrees. I also like cycling, swimming and walking my dog with my wife, Melinda.

HNA: What do you like to do to relax?

SM: If I’m not out on a run or watching one of my kids in their own sports activities, my secret pleasure is auto racing. Of course, during autumn, as an alumnus of The Ohio State University, I love watching Buckeye football.

HNA: Where are your favorite outdoor spots around New Albany to take a walk?

SM: New Albany has more than 30 miles of trails, so walking and running are accessible just about anywhere. I particularly love running around Lambton Park, Fenway, the New Albany Country Club and Odgen Woods through Market Square. Getting out in such a beautiful setting at lunchtime can really spark one’s creativity.

Photo by Scott Cunningham

HNA: How does being part of the New Albany community help you stay focused on health and wellness?

SM: New Albany embraces health as a core value. It’s a way of life for many here, and our community is small enough that there is little bureaucracy when great ideas take root. Healthy New Albany is a fantastic example. More than a decade ago, Phil Heit planted the seed for a walk and watched it grow. Today, we now have a farmers market, a community garden, this magazine, healthful options in restaurants and the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany, New Albany’s health destination with wonderful health care partners. But all of this started simply by having people get out and put one foot in front of the other, which is something I try to do as often as I can.

Can you guess which of these items are medicines, and which aren’t?

Drug or Candy?

By Sarah Sole

Friendship. Fellowship. Fun. Proper precaution can help keep young children from medicines and supplements While prescription pills might get hidden away in high drawers, it’s equally important to keep over-the-counter medicine out of kids’ reach. A stray pill in a purse or on an end table can look an awful lot like a mint.

Parents and caretakers can follow these directions to keep medication out of kids’ reach.

Stow products safely. Aside from oral medications and supplements, topical products, such as diaper rash cream and eye drops, need to be hidden away in cabinets that reaching hands can’t get to. Consider using child safety locks for added security.

Cap products instead of keeping them in plastic baggies. Consider storing your over-the-counter pills and supplements in old prescription bottles that have child-resistant caps. Make sure to label the contents accordingly and keep dosage information handy.

Share your safety practices with family members and friends who might provide care for your child – grandparents, babysitters, etc. And when people visit your own house, make sure to stow purses away in cabinets or someplace high where children won’t be able to reach.

Foods for Fitness

By David Allen

No Grain, No Gain

Amaranth, spelt, millet and other white-bread alternatives

I

t is estimated that around 12,000 years ago, agriculture became a mainstay in the socioeconomic lives of human beings.

And immediately after the gradual installation of agriculture came the successful implementation of grains, all according to Oregon State University.

There were many reasons why grains became popular as a crop. They are easy to store, high in energy-providing carbohydrates and can tolerate many different environments. Grains were used for everything from currency to satiation.

It’s amazing to think that, even after 12,000 years, grains are still a heavily prevalent part of the human diet. With all of this history, how could grains be considered unhealthful?

Many of the grains now being consumed are refined grains, and not whole grains. The website www.wholegrain scouncil.org states that “100 percent of the original kernel – all of the bran, germ and endosperm – must be present to qualify as a whole grain.” Refined grains exist as white bread and other “white” foods.

“Whole grains are considered better because they keep all parts of the grain intact, which means they contain more fiber, vitamins and minerals than their refined counterparts, which have been stripped of these beneficial nutrients during processing,” says Lauren Blake, nutritionist at The Ohio State University. “The nutrients in whole grains can help to lower the risk of heart disease, stroke and even some cancers when included regularly in a balanced diet.”

Many people might not be getting enough grain in their daily diets, however.

30

According to a study conducted at University of Minnesota in St. Paul (and funded by General Mills), 39 percent of kids under 18 and 42 percent of adults consume absolutely no whole grains at all. This poses threats to gut health, as with less whole grains comes less fiber – 78 percent less on average in refined grains, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Refined grains also lose much of the healthful attributes of whole grains.

The USDA states that refined grains drop protein amount by 25 percent, Vitamin E amount by 95 percent, calcium by 56 percent and magnesium by 84 percent, and increase carbohydrates by an average of 5 percent.

To compensate, many food companies “enrich” their refined grains with vitamins. However this process does not alter the amounts of protein, calcium or fiber. In short, whole grains are always better.

And while oatmeal and corn are very popular grains, there are many, many other grains that are delicious as well as unique.

Amaranth: Originates from the Aztecs. Gluten-free and high in protein, this grain is worth exploring in cereals, pancakes and nearly everything after waking.

Spelt: Can be used in place of common wheat in most recipes. It’s nourishing, rich in nutrients and milder than other grains. As an added health bonus, spelt is higher in protein than common wheat. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

“Whole grains are considered better because they keep all parts of the grain intact, which means they contain more fiber, vitamins and minerals than their refined counterparts, which have been stripped of these beneficial nutrients during processing.”

A NEW CHOICE FOR REHAB IN NEW ALBANY!

—Lauren Blake, nutritionist Einkorn: A drought-resistant crop known for its high antioxidant ratio and high level of protein. Its most popular use seems to be in cereals.

KaÑiwa: High in protein and containing a unique antioxidant called quercetin, which, according to a 2010 study published in Inflammation & Allergy Drug Targets, can lessen the severity of allergic reactions.

Rye: Has an elevated fiber profile, making it a good substitute for other grains for diets, as it promotes satiety more efficiently.

Millet: The “bird seed” grain.

Gluten-free and has a short, substantial growing season. For health professionals, its allure revolves around its very high B-vitamin content, which assists cell metabolism in the body.

“B vitamins play a key role in metabolism because they help our bodies use the food we eat as fuel to keep us energized throughout the day. While the vitamins themselves do not provide this fuel, they are what help us convert protein, fat and carbohydrates to the energy we can use. They also promote healthy nervous, brain and heart function, as well as healthy skin and hair,” says Blake.

spoke with Healthy New Albany on how to include gum care in your oral hygiene regimen.

Healthy New Albany: Do you find that patients tend to focus more on their teeth than their gums in terms of health? Does brushing, flossing and using mouthwash cover gum care in the same way?

Lisa Palermo-Edwards: Yes. I feel most people will focus on what they can easily see; therefore, the focus is on their teeth. Most people don’t realize there are different types of bacteria that contribute more to gum disease than cavities. So a combination of brushing and flossing is necessary to maintain good oral health. Flossing targets the bacteria that cause gum disease because it goes between the teeth and below the gum line, and this is where many gum problems start.

HNA: What are some signs that you might need to visit a periodontist? When should you visit a periodontist over a dentist?

LP: If you or your dentist or hygienist notices any changes in your gum tissue – such as redness, bleeding, receding gums, increasing pocket depths, tooth migration/increased spaces, food impaction, loose teeth and/or soreness – it may be time to see a periodontist. As a periodontist, I specialize in the treatment of gum diseases along with many other aspects of oral health such as dental implants to replace missing teeth, aesthetic procedures to enhance your smile and treatment of oral pathology.

Also, many people do not know that inflammation of the mouth has been linked to systemic conditions such as di-

abetes, infertility, rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular disease. A periodontist can evaluate your mouth and diagnose and treat oral disease that may be affecting your overall health.

HNA: What are the most common periodontal diseases? How can they be prevented?

LP: Gingivitis is the most common periodontal disease. It is reversible with early identification, good dental care and effective home care. If gingivitis is not treated, it can lead to periodontitis, which destroys the gum and supporting bone, ultimately compromising the structural support around teeth. If periodontitis is not treated, teeth can be lost and further systemic body complications may occur.

HNA: Everyone knows smoking cigarettes or chewing tobacco is horrible for your mouth. But are there any existing medical conditions that can put you at risk for gum-related issues? How can you be proactive?

LP: Smokers are at high risk for periodontal disease due to the effect that smoking has on the tissue cells in the gum tissue as well as on the body’s immune response. Additionally, smoking and drinking alcohol are among the greatest risk factors for oral/throat cancer. An oral cancer screening should be completed on everyone at every dental check-up. Like many cancers, if detected early, it is far more treatable.

Many systemic conditions are related to periodontal disease. Genetics can make a person more likely to develop periodontal disease. Hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopausal changes can affect your mouth www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

as well. Making sure you and your dentist are monitoring for changes in your mouth through clinical probing depth measurements as well as periodic comprehensive radiographs can help identify if a referral to a periodontist is warranted.

HNA: When it comes to the color of your gums, how red is too red? Should we immediately be concerned by a little bleeding?

LP: There are several shades of gum tissue, from red to pink as well as darker pigments, as found in skin. Every person is individual, so if a patient notices change in his or her mouth or bleeding, receding gum line, swollen gums or possibly soreness, it would warrant a visit to the dentist to have it evaluated. Surprisingly, pain is not always reported with periodontal disease, so it is critical that the dentist and hygienist monitor for changes.

HNA: It’s recommended we floss daily, but plenty of people don’t. Is mouthwash a suitable substitute?

LP: Flossing is the most effective way to disturb bacteria when it is in between teeth. Mouthwash can’t always access the same places as dental floss. Flossing also introduces oxygen to the area below the gum line, and this is toxic to some bacteria. There are many types of mouth rinses available, and some are proven to be more effective than others. Depending on the type, mouthwash can be a great adjunct to use in addition to the basics of effective brushing and flossing for further reduction of bacteria, to combat sensitivity or strengthen the tooth.

HNA: How long should you use mouthwash for it to be effective?

LP: Each brand has different manufacturer guidelines regarding the amount you should use and time of exposure for it to do the things it claims it can do.

For example, a mouth rinse with fluoride may have a longer exposure time than one without. Asking your oral health care provider for a recommendation of the most appropriate rinse for your oral health needs is the best way to approach this aid.

HNA: How can you tell if you have receding gums? Is surgery always the best option?

LP: Receding gums can be a sign of gum disease or unstable gum tissue.

The teeth may appear longer, the gums may appear inflamed or loose, or the teeth and/or roots may become sensitive. There are many contributing factors; however, the patient and dentist or hygienist need to be able to identify any changes that have occurred. Each person’s normal is different. It is ideal to have a baseline evaluation and be able to track it over months and years to determine how stable the gums are.

Consistent dental visits and monitoring through visual exams and radiographs are the best way to identify if

treatment is indicated. Surgery may be an option when it is identified that the tissue needs to be thickened or stabilized, if the patient is experiencing sensitivity, or if a contributing factor is identified and can be corrected. It is critical to include the patient’s individual circumstances and history when considering surgery.
