Easy Ways to Boost Your Fiber Intake

WWW.CMDMAGAZINE.COM

5 Maneras Fáciles Para Aumentar Su Consumo de Fibras

WINTER 2015

When you think of dietary fiber, chances are you think of those fiber cereals like bran flakes. Adding more fiber to your diet can be far more interesting, however, if you know what you are doing. The average adult should be eating 25-30 grams of fiber per day, but most people eat half that amount. Cuando usted piensa en la fibra dietética, lo más probable usted piensa en los cereales con fibra como los cereales de salvado. El añadir más fibra a su dieta puede ser aún más interesante, sin embargo, si usted sabe lo que estás haciendo. El adulto promedio debe comer de 25 a 30 gramos de fibra cada día, pero la mayoría de la gente come la mitad de esa cantidad. Ensuring that you eat the right amount of dietary fiber daily is not just about easing constipation. It can also help prevent more serious illnesses like diabetes, colon cancer and even heart disease, as well as intestinal issues. Asegurándose de que usted come la cantidad correcta de fibra dietética diaria, no es sólo para ayudar con el estreñimiento. También puede ayudar a prevenir enfermedades más serias como la diabetes, cáncer del colon, y aún enfermedades del corazón, así como los problemas intestinales. How can you increase the amount of fiber you eat each day? Here are some easy ways to increase your fiber diet. ¿Cómo puede usted aumentar la cantidad de fibra que come cada día? Aquí hay algunas maneras fáciles para aumentar la fibra en su dieta.

Add wheat germ to your meals. Wheat germ can be added to salads and soups, as well as cereals and yogurt. Try mixing wheat germ or oat bran into smoothies, as well. Añade germen de trigo a sus comidas. El germen de trigo se puede añadir a su ensalada y las sopas, también a los cereales y el yogurt. También intente de mezclar el germen de trigo o avena de salvado en un batido.

Make green smoothies. Green vegetables are an excellent source of fiber, but you can only eat so much salad. Make high fiber smoothies with a banana or two, a scoop of yogurt or orange juice. Spinach is the best option to start out with, as it blends well with many flavors. Haga batidos verdes. Los vegetales verdes son una fuente excelente de fibra, pero usted sólo puede comer cierta cantidad de ensalada. Haga un batido alto en fibra con uno o dos guineos, con yogurt o jugo de naranja. La espinaca es la mejor opción para comenzar ya que se mezcla bien con muchos sabores.

Eat dried fruit. These can be eaten as is, for a quick energy boost during the day or on cereal in the morning. Keep in mind that dried fruit is higher in calories than fresh, but also contains around 7 times the amount of fiber, depending on the fruit. Come frutas secas. Estas se pueden comer como están, para aumentar rápido la energía durante el día, o en el cereal por la mañana. No se olvide que las frutas secas son más altas en calorías que las frutas frescas,

pero también contienen siete veces más la cantidad de fibra, dependiendo de la fruta.

Eat more beans. Beans are a wellknown source of fiber and they can be easily included in your meals. Toss a cup of beans into a salad. They also go well in soups and can be turned into veggie burgers with the addition of an egg and some breadcrumbs. Come más habichuelas. Las habichuelas son una fuente de fibra muy conocida, y se pueden incluir en sus comidas fácilmente. Eche una taza de habichuelas en la ensalada. También se pueden echar en las sopas, y se pueden incluir en las hamburguesas vegetarianas, añadiendo un huevo y miga de pan.

Choose whole grains. Just choosing the whole grain bread over white will not give you a big boost in fiber. Read the label to find out just how much fiber the product contains. Most products have whole grain alternatives, including tortillas, pita bread and pasta. Escoge los productos integrales. Con sólo escoger pan integral en vez de pan blanco no va a aumentar mucho en fibras. Lea la etiqueta para saber exactamente cuánta fibra el producto contiene. La mayoría de los productos tienen alternativas integrales, incluyendo las tortillas, el pan de pita y la pasta. Ensure that you have enough fiber in your diet by using these tips. They may be small changes, but over time, they could mean the difference between health and being ill. Asegúrese de que usted tenga suficiente fibra en su dieta usando estos consejos. Pueden que sean pequeños cambios, pero con el tiempo pueden significar la diferencia entre la salud y el estar enfermo.

Can Save Lives

WINTER 2015

n addition to surgical excisions of melanoma - the deadliest form of skin cancer - and other skin cancers, tumors, lesions and benign moles, Associates in Dermatology treats patients of all ages, and a number of skin conditions including allergic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, eczema and diseases of the hair and nails. Various locations also perform cosmetic services such as Botox®, fillers and laser rejuvenating treatments. For years, Associates in Dermatology has been involved in numerous community outreach programs, including free skin cancer screening during the month of May. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the US: 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. For instance, melanoma incidence among Hispanics has risen nearly 20% since 1994, and they have significantly poorer survival rates than non-Hispanic patients, primarily because they tend to be diagnosed with the condition at a later stage. These disturbing statistics clearly underscore the urgency for year-round sun protection, regular skin self-examinations and annual visits to a dermatologist. This advice goes for everyone, no matter your 12 ethnicity or skin tone. Now, the dermatology practice reaches out to hairstylists and colorists while introducing the “Heads Up” Campaign, a free educational program from the Skin Cancer Foundation designed to provide useful

and potentially life-saving information on how to detect skin cancer on the scalp and neck on their clients. People are twice as likely to die from the disease as those with melanomas on other areas of the body. Associates in Dermatology accepts most health plans including Humana HMO Premier, one of the newest products from healthcare.gov. Call today at 800-827-SKIN (7546) to schedule your appointment.Enter Ext. 3220 to learn more about the “Heads Up” program, and go to their blog if you want to read more about skin cancer among Hispanics: www.dermorlando.com/blog/skin-cancerrates-among-hispanics-soar.

Los Programas de Servicio de Asistencia a La Comunidad

Pueden Salvar Vidas

demás de la extirpación quirúrgica de melanoma – la forma de cáncer más mortal - y otros canceres de la piel, tumores, lesiones y lunares benignos, Associates in Dermatology trata a pacientes de todas las edades, y varias condiciones de la piel, incluyendo el alérgico de dermatitis, soriasis, acné, eczema, y las enfermedades del cabello y las uñas. En varias oficinas, se ofrecen también los servicios cosméticos, tales como Botox®, los rellenos, y los tratamientos de láser para rejuvenecer. Por años, Associates in Dermatology ha estado involucrado en numerosos programas de servicio de asistencia a la comunidad, incluyendo la detección de cáncer gratis durante el mes de mayo. El cáncer de la piel es la forma de cáncer más común en los Estados Unidos: 1 de cada 5 americanos va a desarrollar el cáncer de la piel en el curso de su vida. Por ejemplo, la incidencia de melanoma entre los hispanos ha aumentado en casi un 20 por ciento desde 1994, y tienen significativamente menos probabilidad de sobrevivir que los que no son hispanos, mayormente porque ellos tienden a ser diagnosticados con la condición en una etapa más avanzada. Estas inquietantes estadísticas claramente demuestran la urgencia para la protección contra el sol todo el año, el auto examen regular de la piel, y la visita anual al dermatólogo. Este consejo es para todos, no importa su etnicidad o el tono de su piel. Ahora, la práctica de dermatología llega a los estilistas y coloristas al presentar la campaña “Heads Up,” un programa educativo y gratis del Skin Cancer Foundation, diseñado para proveer información útil sobre cómo detectar el cáncer de la piel en el cuero cabelludo y en el cuello de sus clientes, el cual puede salvar vidas. La gente tiene el doble de la probabilidad de morir de esta enfermedad como aquellos con melanoma en otras áreas del cuerpo.

How to Look More Beautiful and Vibrant For the Holidays Naturally

WWW.CMDMAGAZINE.COM

WINTER 2015

e all want to look more vibrant for the holidays, and some of us will decide to get Botox or fillers. But, you should know that there are some herbs that will help you get the same results. It might take a little longer for the results to appear but it will last a lot longer. There are some wonderful herbs and foods that will help to plump up our skin, diminish lines or just give us a healthy look. If you still want to do the Botox, go ahead and just take these too, and your results will last a lot longer. It will benefit your body from the inside out. So, let’s get started: 1. Astragalus Root This wonderful herb lifts and tightens the skin. I would recommend this root if your neck is getting a little loose or if your eyelids are starting to sag. This herb can be taken in capsule or in its raw form from any Chinese market. If you purchase it raw, please rinse off the sulphites that it is preserved in. You can make it into a tea or throw it in a pot of chicken soup. It also helps to build up your immune system so you can stay healthy. 2. Chinese Red Dates These help to nourish the skin and give it a nice glow while at the same time it also helps to calm your spirit so you will feel calm and beautiful during this stressful time. It can be bought dried in any Chinese market, and it is called Da Zao. You can chop it up and put it in a nice cup of tea or even into your oats in the morning. Again, if you purchase the red dates at the Chinese store, rinse off the sulphites before you eat. These dates do have a seed, so please don’t break a tooth.

3. Chinese Ginseng It is considered the wrinkle cure in China because this wonderful herb has the ability to tonify the body and at the same time to plump up your lines and make you feel younger. It will also give you some energy so you can do all the things you have to accomplish before all the relatives arrive. The Herb Shop 112 Broadway (Historic Downtown Kissimmee) Kissimmee, FL 34741.

Cómo Lucir Más Bella y Vibrante Naturalmente Para Los Días Feriados

odas nosotras queremos lucir más vibrante para los días feriados, y algunas de nosotras nos vamos a decidir por el Bótox o los rellenos. Pero, usted debe saber que hay algunas hierbas que le ayudarán a conseguir los mismos resultados. Puede que le tome más tiempo para obtener los resultados, pero le van a durar más tiempo. Hay algunas hierbas maravillosas y alimentos que pueden ayudar a suavizar nuestra piel, reducir las líneas o simplemente darnos un look saludable. Si todavía quieres usar el Bótox, hazlo, y estos también, y sus resultados van a durar por más tiempo. Va a beneficiar a su cuerpo desde dentro hacia fuera. Entones, vamos a comenzar: 1. Las Raíces de Astrágalo Esta hierba maravillosa va a levantar y estirar la piel. Le puedo recomendar esta hierba si su cuello se está poniendo un

poco estirado o los párpados comienzan a caerse. Esta hierba se puede tomar en una cápsula o en su forma cruda de cualquier mercado chino. Si la compras cruda, debes enjuagarlas para sacarle los sulfitos en los cuales se mantienen para preservarlas. Se puede hacer como té o en una sopa de pollo. Esto también le puede ayudar a reforzar su sistema inmunológico para que así usted pueda mantenerse saludable. 2. Los Dátiles Rojos Chinos Estos ayudan a alimentar a la piel y a darle un color natural, mientras que al mismo tiempo les puedan ayudar a calmar a su espíritu para que así usted pueda sentirse calmada y bella durante este tiempo estresante. Se pueden comprar secos en cualquier mercado chino, y se llaman Da Zao. Se pueden picar y hacer una buena taza de té y hasta en la avena por la mañana. Recuerde, si compras los dátiles rojos en una tienda china, enjuáguelos para sacarle los sulfitos antes de comer. Estos dátiles rojos sí tienen semillas, así que, no se vaya a romper un diente. 3.

e New Law that Could Cost You will remain protected in the event that you begin experiencing pain later on. Finally, if you are injured in an accident caused by another driver’s negligence, you should immediately contact an attorney that can advise you on your rights regarding compensation for your injuries.

Las Lesiones Corporales:

e acuerdo con la National Hghway Traffic Safety Administration, cada diez segundos ocurre un accidente automovilístico en los Estados Unidos. Hay cosas importantes que debe tener en mente en caso de que un día usted o un ser querido tenga la mala suerte de tener un accidente automovilístico. Desde el 1 de enero de 2014, una nueva ley entró en efecto en Florida la cual dice que se debe buscar tratamiento médico dentro de 14 días del accidente automovilístico para retener los beneficios de Personal Injury Protection. En los accidentes más serios, típicamente se busca la atención médica inmediatamente ya que las lesiones más severas se podrán ver y requieren la rápida atención y tratamiento. Sin embargo, en los choques menos severos, es posible que una persona lesionada no pueda sentir sus lesiones inmediatamente. En estos accidentes, es muy común que en el momento del accidente una persona no pueda sentir que ha sido lesionado. Puede que ellos no vean los moretones o las marcas, y no puedan sentir dolores severos en el momento inmediatamente después del impacto. Puede que ellos estén en shock, con miedo, y preocupados por el daño, o hasta con coraje por la situación, y quizás sintiendo la adrenalina aumentar, el cual puede evitar cualquier dolor o los síntomas de la lesión. Sin embargo, luego de unos días, de-

spués que el shock pasa, y ellos comienzan a volver a sus vidas normales, ellos pueden comenzar a sentir los efectos del choque. Ellos pueden comenzar a sentir dolor y/o la rigidez. En algunos de los casos, a este punto ellos pueden buscar cuidado médico, pero otros sencillaamente pueden decidir a “esperar” para ver si los síntomas se van por sí solo o con los medicamento para el dolor. En la segunda situación, la persona se toma el riesgo de perder los beneficios necesarios para tratar las lesiones subyacentes bajo la nueva ley. Una vez que se pierden esos beneficios, una persona tendrá que escoger entre ser responsable por posibles grandes facturas médicas por los tratamientos, o sencillamente continuar sufriendo de dolor por las lesiones que no han sido tratadas. Por estas razones, si usted o alguien que usted conoce tiene un accidente automovilístico, es imperativo que busque atención médica inmediatamente, aún si no tiene síntomas que se puedan notar enseguida. Al hacer esto, usted estará protegido en caso de que usted luego comience a tener dolor. Finalmente, si usted es lesionado en un accidente causado por la negligencia de otro chofer, usted debe contactar inmediatamente a un abogado quien le puede aconsejar sobre sus derechos con respecto a la compensación por sus lesiones.

La Nueva Ley Que Le Puede Costar

ccording to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a car accident occurs every 10 seconds in the United States. There are important things to keep in mind in the event that one day you or a loved one has the misfortune of being involved in an auto accident. As of January 1, 2014, a new law came into effect in Florida which dictates that medical treatment must be sought within 14 days of an auto accident in order for one to retain their Personal Injury Protection benefits. In the most serious of accidents, medical attention will typically be sought immediately as more severe injuries will be apparent and require prompt attention and treatment. However, in less extreme collisions, an injured party may not even feel their injuries right away. In these types of accidents, it is quite common that at the moment of the accident a person involved in the collision does not feel that they have been injured. They may see no bruising, no marks, and feel no severe pain in the moments immediately following the impact. They may feel in shock, scared and concerned about the damage, or even angry at the situation, and perhaps experiencing an adrenaline rush which may mask any pain or symptoms of injury. Days later, however, after the shock wears off and they begin to return to their normal lives, they may begin experiencing the effects of the collision. They may begin to feel pain, soreness and/or stiffness. In some cases, they may seek medical care at this point, but others may simply decide to “wait it out” and see if the symptoms go away on their own or with pain medication. In the latter scenario, the person will risk losing benefits necessary to treat the underlying injuries under the new law. Once those benefits are lost, an injured person will have to choose between incurring potentially astronomical medical bills for treatment, or simply continue suffering through pain of untreated injuries. For these reasons, if you or someone you know is involved in an auto accident, it is imperative that medical attention be immediately sought, even if no symptoms are instantly noticeable. By doing so, you

ou’ve probably heard that eating seafood rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids can help protect against heart disease while delivering other important nutrients. In fact, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends eating seafood twice a week for such benefits. Salmon is one fish long-heralded for its nutritional value, and Alaska canned salmon offers a convenient way to add more deliciously nourishing seafood to your diet. Whether your tastes lean toward a traditional croquette drizzled with a light dill sauce, or a refreshing take on a pesto pasta salad, canned salmon is easy to prepare and surprisingly versatile. Because canned and pouched salmon is shelf-stable, you can always have some on hand for a quick, tasty meal or flavorful snack. At the grocery store, simply look for “Alaska” on the lid or label to ensure a topquality, wholly natural product with nothing added but a pinch of salt for flavor. These recipes showcase how Alaska canned salmon can be adapted to a wide range of meals and lifestyles, from the indulgent to the über-healthy. For additional preparation tips and recipes, visit www.wildalaskaseafood.com.

The Many Benefits of Salmon • Alaska canned pink salmon has four times the omega-3s EPA and DHA, and 12 times the vitamin D as many popular canned meats and fish. It also has 25 percent of adults’ Recommended Daily Allowance for calcium and nearly meets the daily reference amount for selenium. • Traditional pack canned salmon contains skin and delicate, edible bones that are rich in calcium and magnesium. Pressure-cooked in the can, they are so soft they can be easily blended into the salmon, adding extra nutrients and flavor. Skinless, boneless Alaska salmon is also available in cans and pouches. • Pink salmon — the variety commonly found in cans — has a light color and mild flavor, while red salmon (or sockeye) has a richer, more intense flavor and color.

f cooler temps have you feeling blue, there’s no better time for a party with family and friends to lift your spirits. Though you may not want to treat your guests to an al fresco brunch, winter weather shouldn’t hold you back from entertaining in style. From playful party games to creative recipes that feature the fresh flavors of watermelon, a little midwinter gathering is just what you need to beat boredom and get you primed for sunnier months ahead. To make your winter party a hot success, follow these tips for setting the theme and creating the perfect menu: • Don’t shy away from foods typically associated with warmer weather. Watermelon, for example, is actually available year-round and makes a surprisingly healthful and delicious addition to a winter party spread, whether in a fruity drink, side dish or dessert. The recipe below combines decadent chocolate fondue with the light, sweet pop of juicy watermelon. Remember to save the rind to use as a pretty carved centerpiece. • Pick a theme that pays homage to the season. Penguins, snowmen, icicles – the possibilities are endless, so set your imagination free. Remember that lighting sets the mood, so look for options that complement your theme, whether soft and subtle candles or bright and colorful paper lanterns. • Take advantage of the cooler weather as an excuse to savor an array of rich, decadent comfort foods. Serve warm, crusty breads with dips or a thick, creamy soup or chili. Or delight guests with an indulgent chocolate fondue with watermelon dippers for a little extra fun. • Serve a hot cocoa or spiced cider bar and let guests add their own toppings and spices, ranging from whipped cream and maraschino cherries to cinnamon sticks

Choice F

100% of TFA Graduates Have Been Accepted to College The First Academy boasts a 100% college acceptance rate for its graduating seniors, who have received over $41 million in scholarship offers. TFA students at every grade level consistently score well above the state and national average on standardized tests and, for nearly a decade, more than half of TFA seventh grade students have qualified for the Duke University Talent Identification Program for the academically accomplished. The First Academy’s Lower School division serves students in K4 (4 years old as of September 1st), Transitional Kindergarten (TK – 5 years old as of September 1st) and (5 years old as of September 1st) Kindergarten through sixth grade.

One of the core educational beliefs of The First Academy is that all students can learn and succeed in a loving environment where expectations are high. Teachers at The First Academy understand that children are unique and do not all share the same learning style. Teachers take time to learn the unique strengths and weaknesses of every student and strive to provide a wide array of educational methods to implement instruction. The school strives to provide a consistently challenging curriculum to benefit all learners within the classroom setting. Each grade-level team works together to identify individual student needs and abilities, then develops strategies to address those needs effectively. The Middle School is composed of grades 7 and 8. Students develop a strong self-worth, purpose, security, and acceptance. The Middle School offers an emotional safe haven for growth and maturity, focusing on character before career and service before self. The focus of the Upper School is to prepare students for the academic rigor and pressures of college. Students will adjust between college preparatory, honors, and Advance Placement schedules to sustain a personally appropriate challenge. The Arts and Athletics are at a fundamental point in each student’s academic career.

The First Academy is accredited by: Florida Council of Independent Schools, Southern Association of Independent Schools, Advanced Southern Association of Colleges & Schools, Council on Educational Standards & Accountability, and the Association of Christian Schools International. Dr. Steve Whitaker is the Head of School at The First Academy and Dr. Shayne Grove is the Director of Admissions. The First Academy is a ChristCentered K4 – Grade 12 College Preparatory School, and does not discriminate on the basis of color, race, gender or ethnic origin. It is located at 2667 Bruton Boulevard, Orlando, FL 32805. To schedule your personal tour, call 407-206-8602 or e-mail: admissions@thefirstacademy.org.

Definitively Christ-Centered, Distinctly College-Prep The First Academy is a Christ-centered, college-preparatory school serving over 1,200 Central Florida students who attend in grades K4 through grade 12. Since its opening in 1987, TFA has continued to grow the academic, fine arts, and athletic programs that have elevated its students to the highest levels of achievement. More importantly, though, as a private school TFA has helped develop its students’ strength of character, leading young men and women to serve others in their own community and across the globe.
