Health, fitness information abound at expo Residents who are seeking information and resources to help them be more active and healthy will find plenty of both at the CrossRoadsNews 2014 Health & Wellness Expo at the Mall at Stonecrest on Jan. 25. The annual expo, which is in its ninth year, is the largest gathering of people focused on health and wellness in east metro Atlanta. Twenty-seven exhibitors, including hospitals, doctors, and county and federal offices, will be at the expo that takes place from noon to 5 p.m. on the mall’s lower level. Jennifer Parker, editor and publisher of CrossRoadsNews, says the newspaper hosts the annual expo to offer residents a convenient one-stop shop for wellness in-
formation. “We believe that if people have the right information, they will be in a better position to make informed decisions,” Parker said. “That is why we host this expo every year with our sponsors and exhibitors to deliver screenings and information.” Children’s Healthcare at Hughes Spalding, which is the closest children’s hospital to South DeKalb residents, is back as the expo’s title sponsor. Families will be able to pick up information and giveaways from Children’s Healthcare at its booth near the children’s area in front of JC Penney’s. The expo will be chock-full of demonstrations and entertainment. Life Chef Asata Reid will speak about the benefits of
detoxification and whip up cleansing and tasty smoothies for sampling. A number of personal trainers will show expo participants fun ways to exercise. “The emphasis this year is on fun, easy ways to be active,” Parker said. “There will be line dancing and Zumba demonstrations. You will be having so much fun, you forget that you are getting exercise.” The Health & Wellness Expo is one of three expos that CrossRoadsNews is hosting at the mall this year. Its Family & Back-toSchool Expo takes place July 26, and the Senior/Baby Boomer Expo is set for Oct. 11. Expo-goers who visit 15 of the exhibitors can enter to win a “Rejuvenation Spa Basket” from the Mall at Stonecrest.

“By Jan. 31, many people have failed resolutions crumbled around our feet because we make promises we can’t keep!”
Skip the resolutions – revitalize with these daily detoxing tips Vegetable and fruit smoothies such as ginger beet (above) and alkaline green offer delicious, fiber-rich ways to kick off the morning.
At the start of a new year, many people have resolved for new beginnings, fresh starts and better lifestyles. Church groups may kick off a season of fasting for the congregation to achieve physical and spiritual empowerment. Gym memberships go up, diets begin, and pledges to “do better” are taken. By Jan. 31, many people, including myself, have failed resolutions crumbled around our feet because we make promises to ourselves that we can’t keep! I’m a busy entrepreneur with a part-time job, a mother of children with activities, in a committed partnership for 10 years, and a freelance writer and recipe developer. I find it impossible to coordinate a diet, maintain a fast or dedicate a lot of time to a fussy meal plan. What I can do is institute some lifestyle changes and foods that will allow my body to naturally cleanse via daily detoxing of my body, mind and spirit, and you can too. I’ll share this info and foods that help you heal, restore and revitalize during the 2014 CrossRoadsNews Health and Wellness Expo on Jan. 25 at the Mall at Stonecrest. I will be on the main stage near Sears on the mall’s lower level at 2 p.m.

Nothing hydrates like good old-fashioned water, plus you’ll flush toxins out. n Avoid food additives/preservatives, artificial colors/flavors, processed foods Yes, this means you will have to cook.

Could you use professional services like a cleaner to keep your home clutter-free? Would your job be willing to shift your hours or increase workfrom-home possibilities to reduce your daily commute? Look for solutions to manage the biggest stressors in your life. n Eat more fiber
Stimulate your digestive system with fruits, vegetables and whole grains, which all contain fiber. Natural fiber from food sources is easier on your system than fiber supplements. Most people get plenty of fiber by following the My Food Plate diagram, which suggests half your plate at any meal be 50 percent fruits and vegetables with a serving of whole grains. Another refreshing way to get more fiber is to kick off the morning with a vegetable and fruit smoothie!

“It’s a good way to distract you from exercising. It’s dancing. It’s fun – it’s not boring like walking on a treadmill.”
Fitness instructors, trainers offer By Jennifer Ffrench Parker
Dwight Calhoun (above) says line dancing also keeps the brain sharp. At top, Lawanda Brokenborough and company groove with high-energy Zumba.
While there are disagreements about which diet is best, no one ever argues about the need for exercise. Whether it’s walking, dancing, squatting or jumping, there is consensus that a body in motion will stay in motion. People who value their mobility can get lots of tips during the CrossRoadsNews 2014 Health & Wellness Expo at the Mall at Stonecrest on Jan. 25. Throughout the noon-to-5 p.m. expo on the mall’s lower level, fitness instructors and personal trainers will demonstrate some of the fun ways to stay fit and healthy this year. Lawanda Brokenborough will demonstrate Zumba, Dwight Calhoun will showcase line dancing for fun and fitness, and Jody Smith will show how to build your body from inside out. In the face of growing childhood obesity, Elfreda Smith of Door to Door Fitness will show how to get kids off the couch and moving. Brokenborough, who is known as the “fitness diva,” teaches 28 fitness classes a week. She

It’s fun – it’s not boring like walking on a treadmill.” Best of all, Brokenborough said that participants can control what they get out of Zumba by how much they put into it. “It’s high-energy,” she said, “but you control the intensity.” Calhoun has been teaching line dance to kids and adults for seven years at Spelman

“I am concerned about the children. For the first time in our lives, we are going to outlive our children.” Elfreda Smith’s focus is on supporting first lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign to combat childhood obesity. She is on a mission to get kids involved in physical fitness.
exciting ways to keep it moving College, at Southwest Arts Center, and at AT&T corporate headquarters in Atlanta. “Dancing is the purest form of exercise,” he said. “It’s simple and it’s something you can do by yourself or with a group. People love it because they can do it at family reunions, parties and all events.” Besides making you use all of your body parts, Calhoun said line dancing also helps keep the brain sharp. “You have to remember all the moves,” he said. “You have to keep up. It’s brain exercise.” Jody Smith, whose clients range from 4 to 86 years, said strength training is important in any fitness regime to keep the muscles from deteriorating. “We need to strengthen our bodies to move correctly,” he said. When clients enter his program, Smith, who offers classes at Grady High School, Panthersville Stadium, and a gym in Buckhead, says he begins by building their heart and lungs. “We start very light to see what type of shape you are in and go from there,” he said. Even though his focus is on strengthening

muscles, Smith, who lives in Lithonia, said he doesn’t use weights. Instead, he emphasizes modified jumps, push-ups, squats and step training. “Walking up and down stairs is the best workout,” he said. Elfreda Smith, no relation to Jody Smith, has turned her focus to supporting first lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign that is fighting childhood obesity. “I am concerned about the children,” said Smith, who lives in Decatur. “For the first time in our lives, we are going to outlive our children.” Over the Christmas holidays when her grandchildren – 4 to 13 years old – visited, Smith said all they wanted to know was where the electric outlets were. “They wanted to plug in their tablets,” she said. “They didn’t want to go outside or do anything else.” She knows her grandchildren are typical, and she is now on a mission to get kids moving, whether it is with a hula hoop, jump rope, cheerleading or in soccer and football.

“Come and dance. If you don’t use it, you will lose it. If you don’t move it, your legs will seize up on you and you will go dormant.”
Lou Walker dance troupe laying it on the line for fitness, fun By Jennifer Ffrench Parker
When JD Hall is dancing, he is at his best. “I shine when I dance,” he says with a laugh. “I feel good when I dance.” Ditto for the Lou Walker Line Dance Troupe, which he leads. The lithe-on-the-foot group also loves to dance and it shows in their polished movement and on their faces. “Just look at their faces,” Hall said. “It makes them cheerful. You can dance your problems away.” They will perform at 1 p.m. on the main stage near Sears at the CrossRoadsNews 2014 Health & Wellness Expo at the Mall at Stonecrest on Jan. 25. Hall, 69, says dancing is a fun way to stay fit. “I always say, ‘If you dance, you live longer,’” he said. The line dance troupe is dominated by women 17-to-3. Doris Lewis, 63, has been dancing with the troupe for three years. She says she dances daily because it’s good for her. “And I am doing something that I like to do,” she said. Annie Low said joining the line dance class was a no-brainer for her. She dances four to five times a week at the center. “I enjoy the movement. I enjoy the motion,” she said on Jan. 15. “Tomorrow I will be 74. To see myself moving and enjoying myself at this age is just a blessing.” Hall is one of two line dance instructors at the center. He teaches the advanced class on Fridays, and Sylvia Bailey teaches Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Most of the dance troupe members take class four times a week.

Line dancers from the Lou Walker Senior Center will show off their moves at 1 p.m. on Jan. 25 on the main stage near Sears at Stonecrest.
Hall said he has been trying to lure more men into the group, but it has been challenging. “They sit around playing cards,” he said. “I tell them, ‘Come and dance. If you don’t use it, you will lose it. If you don’t move it, your legs will seize up on you and you will go dormant.’” The retired Norfolk Southern freight train conductor became a member of the Lou Walker Senior Center when it opened in 2005 at the urging of his wife, Conneva.
He retired before she did and was sitting around their Lithonia home cleaning, cooking, eating and packing on the pounds. “When she said, ‘JD, you should go to that center,’ I told her I didn’t want to go to any old folks home,” he said. But when he visited, the music coming from the line dance class drew him in. He was 250 pounds when he joined the class but trimmed down to 195 pounds before settling at 220. “I had two surgeries and stopped dancing
for a while,” he said. When the class instructor moved on in 2008, Hall was tapped to take his place. Not long after, the group was performing at all the center’s events, at county employees picnics, and at nursing homes. Lewis says she loves when the troupe performs at nursing homes. “We get to bring a little enjoyment and fun to residents,” she said. “It makes them feel good, and even if they can’t move with us, they throw their hands up in the air.”

Free screenings for diabetes and high blood pressure will be available at the Jan. 25 expo at the Mall at Stonecrest.
Health screenings at no cost Free screenings for diabetes and high blood pressure will be available at the CrossRoadsNews 2014 Health & Wellness Expo on Jan. 25 at the Mall at Stonecrest. The annual expo takes place from noon to 5 p.m. on the lower level of the Lithonia mall. Oakhurst Medical Centers, DeKalb Medical, Georgia Clinical Research, Georgia Piedmont Technical College, and Compassionate Nurses will offer screenings from their booths on the lower level of the mall between Dillard’s and Kohls. Early diagnosis of most health problems often can lead to a good outcome, but many African-Americans don’t find out about their illnesses until they are in the late stages when they are more difficult to treat. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is often called the silent killer because it often has no symptoms. Doctors say that nearly a third of people
who have high blood pressure don’t know it. The only way to know if your blood pressure is high is through regular checkups and blood pressure checks. This is especially important for adults with a family history of high blood pressure. Untreated hypertension can lead to serious diseases, including stroke, heart disease, kidney failure and eye problems. Diabetes affects more than 20 million Americans, and more than 40 million Americans have pre-diabetes, which often develops before type 2 diabetes. If your parent, brother or sister has diabetes, you may be more likely to develop diabetes. Because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar have no symptoms. The only way to make sure is to test your blood sugar. The Mall at Stonecrest is at I-20 and Turner Hill Road.
Whether you are sick or injured and can’t work, or you want additional protection for your loved ones in case of serious illness or death, Emanuel Williams and Sylvester Richards (right), two of Combined Insurance’s helpful agents, will work closely with you to help get you the right coverage at the right price.
