It’s Just a Number! Right?
E
EDITOR - IN - CHIEF
very year, the inevitable happens: Another year is added to your age, whether you are ready or not. Of course, when you were looking forward to getting your driver’s license or being able to buy a cocktail, you welcomed the inevitable. Most of us can agree, though, that when that first number turns to a 3, 4, 5, etc., our view changes. If I could stay 25 forever (yes, I am older than that), I would do it in a heartbeat. While we know that aging is just part of life, there are a few things you can consider to be “anti-aging” tools when it comes to looking younger and healthy, no matter how old you are. Consider what you are putting in your body. Are you conscious of what you eat, or do you just grab the most convenient things? Diets high in fat and cholesterol and excessive alcohol consumption take a toll on your body over time and can lead to obesity. This kind of diet can lead to any number of heart issues that put a strain on your entire system over time. No one said you have to eat fish and broccoli for the rest of your life, but consistently eating healthy will help maintain a healthy physique for years to come.
I am not one who likes to hit the summer season looking like Casper the Ghost, and I know I am not the only one. But do you really stop to think about the harsh effects the sun and tanning beds can have on your skin? Consider using a sunless tanner when you need some color, rather than baking yourself into oblivion and creating those wrinkles before their time. Stress does more for aging than you could possibly imagine. Have you ever seen presidents as they are sworn into office and then compared pictures of them just four short years later? The aging they suffer in those four years is staggering. Do you take on more than you can handle? True, you may have a high-stress job that you really can’t control. Consider, though, the things you add to your list of responsibilities and the stressors that don’t need to be there. I admit to being someone who stays as busy as humanly possible, and I have a hard time turning things down. From one workaholic to another, here is my recommendation: Learn to say “No.” While you can’t stay young forever, you can definitely take steps to care for your body and mind. Enjoy the craziness of life, learn to let go, and breathe. Wishing you the best,

ASK THE DOCTOR Life’s Questions. Answered.?
Q V
aricose veins affect 30–40% of the population and are affected by a number of hereditary and environmental factors. While most people consider varicosities to be simply a cosmetic issue, they have the potential to develop into a serious medical issue. Delayed treatment of varicosities can lead to inflammation, clots, sores, ulcers and bleeding. As we move, deoxygenated blood is returned to the heart. At any given moment, about 70% of your total blood volume is found in the legs. Because the return of this blood is against gravity, one-way valves are present inside the veins to work with your
10
musculature to direct flow towards the heart. When the valves fail, blood in these vessels will reflux, or flow backwards, causing engorgement of the vessels, which leads to varicose and spider veins. Though unable to “cure” the valves, there are methods available to help relieve the complications of varicosities. Initially, exercise, weight loss, avoiding prolonged periods of standing, and compression stockings may be able to help relieve the discomfort from this condition. When conservative management fails, several treatment options are available depending on your severity of discomfort and cosmetic appearance.

At the end of the day, my legs are heavy, achy and tingling. I have noticed that as the years have progressed, these symptoms have gotten worse. In addition, I have noticed varicose and spider veins that make my legs look older and prevent me from wearing shorts. What causes this?
Sclerotherapy is a local chemical injection for small or spider veins. Microphlebectomy is a local excision of small to medium varicose veins. Endovenous laser ablation is a minimally invasive procedure whereby a laser is inserted into the troublesome vein and heated to cause it to seal off. Vein stripping is a surgical procedure used to cut away—or strip—the offending veins. Given the advances in both conservative and invasive therapies, there are numerous methods available to help alleviate nearly all symptoms of varicose and spider veins. Please consult a qualified vascular physician for further details and treatment options.

Is Your Skin Sun–Dried? Cures for End of Summer Sun Spots, Lines and Wrinkles
When your suntan wears off and the warm sunny days of summer are at their end, some of us are left with spots, lines and wrinkles on our faces and our bodies. Those brown splotchy patches, vertical wrinkles around our mouths and cheeks, or crow’s feet around our eyes means summer is coming to an end. Simple fixes exist for these skin-aging issues. New laser treatments combine light, radio frequency and fractionated therapies to regenerate collagen, improve skin tone, fade sun spots, and improve the overall quality of skin. Laser therapy is not to be feared. Many new in-office options exist that are effective, safe, and have little to no downtime. laser treatments available. The laser penetrates the outer layer of the skin and seals off the treated area, boosting collagen building in layers of skin. The treatment ranges from non-ablative to moderately ablative based on the therapeutic settings used. DOT is an excellent treatment for improving skin tone, collagen, reducing acne, fine lines, age spots, sun damage and pore size. Downtime is based on the level of settings used and varies between no downtime and five days of downtime.

RECIPE
Rhubarb Fruit Salad Rhubarb is an excellent source of vitamin C, which is important to help support a healthy immune system. It is high in dietary fiber which helps to maintain regularity within the digestive system, and it is a good source of calcium.
Ingredients 3 cups thinly sliced fresh rhubarb 3 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or Cointreau 1 1/2 cups halved red or green grapes 1 1/2 cups small honeydew or cantaloupe melon balls or pieces 1 1/2 cups diced mango or strawberries
Grapes One cup of grapes, with about 100 calories, provides more than a quarter of the daily recommended values of vitamins K and C. Grape seeds, which are edible, are chock-full of antioxidants.
Strawberries A cup of strawberries delivers about 150 percent of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C—and eating more vitamin-C-rich foods may help to ward off wrinkles and age-related dryness.
Preparation 1. Bring rhubarb, honey and Grand Marnier (or Cointreau) to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is just beginning to break down, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to cool. 2. Stir grapes, melon and mango (or strawberries) into the rhubarb mixture. Serve or return to the refrigerator to chill further.

Rollwith it! Chris and Matt Tanner
BY MATTHEW HUME | Photography by Eduardo Peña
“Being active is my life,” says Matt, “and I’ve found the perfect wife to share it with. Our life is near perfection.”
Fast Times with Chris and Matt Tanner
The sport of cycling is a fast-paced and colorful world—and cyclists belong to a good-natured, yet competitive community. If you’ve seen a race, you’ll recall seeing “the pack” of riders—that quickly moving, throbbing, organism of cyclists. If you’re a cyclist, you know that by riding in the pack, or peloton, you conserve energy by reducing drag. Perhaps cyclists are a communal kind of people by their very nature—or perhaps they’re just really practical. “My wife and I were riding in the Gran Fondo Giro d’Italia in Miami last year,
with retired pro cyclist Mario Cipollini,” says Matt Tanner. “Long story short, I got in a 3-man break with him near the finish. We were going about 38 mph, with him doing all the work on the front. He doesn’t speak much English and kept yelling at me—‘Get on my wheeeeeeeel!’ But I wasn’t sure if he said to ‘get ON’ or ‘get OFF’! I pushed as hard as I could to stay with him. It became clear after a few miles that it didn’t matter what he was saying—both my legs and both my lungs exploded!” Matt and Chris Tanner are the owners of Rollfast (www.rollfaststore.com). So
17
Rollfast’s mission is summed up in the following from their website: “Sometimes the ride isn’t the best part—it’s the camaraderie and good times that are the glue between each ride.” much more than an artsy and whimsical online store for cycling attire—which it is!—Rollfast’s mission is summed up in the following from their website: “Sometimes the ride isn’t the best part—it’s the camaraderie and good times that are the glue between each ride.” It would seem that the Tanners, while practical, really are a naturally communal pair. A graphic artist by trade, Matt views the Rollfast products as his creative outlet. “I feel great when somebody buys one of our shirts and tells me how much they love it,” he says. “Hearing we are the best-dressed cyclists in town always makes me smile.”
A Match Made in Cycling Heaven
Don’t for one second think that Rollfast is just a store! Matt and Chris not only talk the proverbial talk, but they walk that walk—or in their case, they ride that ride. “I ride my bike almost daily,” Matt tells me. For the past several years he has worked with the same coach, and his routine varies according to his goals and the events he’s training for. “My recent weeks have been high volume and high intensity—22 hours on the bike each week is common,” he says. “I might do intervals in the morning and then ride to a group ride in the evening.” During the off season, Matt changes up his routine with biweekly Pilates Reformer classes. His wife, Chris, on the other hand, has only latched on to the cycling habit in the past six months. “It’s a fun form of exercising I never saw myself getting into until I met Matt,” she says. Chris’s regular
18
ACTIVELI FEGUI DE . COM
/ August 2013
fitness routine includes Jazzercise—she attends multiple classes a day!—and she also attends Pilates Reformer classes twice a week. “I got into riding my bike because Matt is so passionate about it, but I ride for the socialization—and the benefit of just one more activity to keep me active.” When asked how he settled upon cycling as his primary sport, he doesn’t hesitate for a second. “I’m simply passionate about the sport of cycling—there isn’t another activity I’d ever choose,” he says. Of course, growing up in Indiana, basketball surrounded him in his younger days. “I wasn’t talented enough to make a team, though,” he says. So instead, he played ball or rode his skateboard or BMX. “A friend down the road built a half pipe in his dad’s back yard,” Matt recalls. “I spent many hours there. I thought I was going to be the next Tony Hawk or Cru Jones. Neither panned out,” he laughs. “Being active is my life,” says Matt, “and I’ve found the perfect wife to share it with. Our life is near perfection.”
Espresso, Anyone?
What does it take to keep this powerhouse couple fueled up and ready to ride? “Chris and I are both really big into our routines— we eat the same breakfast almost every day,” Matt says. For Matt, that means two eggs, avocado and oatmeal with berries. He caffeinates himself with about eight daily shots of espresso. “Yeah, I know that’s a lot of caffeine,” he laughs, “but it takes a lot to get this big motor running in the morning!” Matt’s evening routine is to treat himself to a couple spoonfuls of protein-packed peanut butter—followed by a big handful of dark chocolate chips. (I’m sure he dreams sweetly.) Chris exhibits more nocturnal selfcontrol in the kitchen, but she confesses to at least one downfall: doughnuts. “I love them,” she says. “But I’m very picky…I won’t just eat any old doughnut.” Matt’s best advice to readers who want to live healthier, more active lives is to hire a coach or trainer and to set goals with them. “Make realistic goals, and then formulate a plan,” Matt says. “Even if you can’t stick with the plan every single day, adjust the plan and keep working at it.” Of course, if reading about Matt and Chris’s cycling adventures has inspired you to apply foot to pedal, the suggestions are endless! “Go out and ride the Cultural Trail in downtown Indianapolis,” Matt says. “It’s liberating to ride around the city, and there’s so
much to see all the way down to Fountain Square.” Grab lunch, he suggests, and make a day of it—by yourself or with the family!
Get On Your Bike and Ride
Perhaps you can’t make it down to Miami to roll with Mario Cipollini this year, but you can roll with the Rollfast Cycling Club in their inaugural Rollfast Gran Fondo. “We’re encouraging everybody to come and ride with us to experience cycling as a group,” Matt says. “It’s like nothing you’ve ever done—and all skill and fitness levels are welcome.” (Check it out at www. rollfastfondo.com.) At least be sure to check out the Rollfast Cycling Club. “The mission of the club is to share the sport of road cycling with the youth of greater Indianapolis,” Matt says. “It’s our effort to promote camaraderie to the membership and develop a competitive spirit that enhances fitness and cycling skills.” The club welcomes all levels of cycling and experiences, and Matt and Chris believe that “no ride is too small or insignificant to be shared.” Cycling, in addition to the social and physical benefits it offers, even has the potential to reach the spiritual realm. “Last summer, I rode in an organized tour at the Tour de France—and my favorite day on the bike in my entire life was climbing the Galibier,” Matt says. “It took about three-and-a-half hours, and we went from hot valleys to a very windy and cold peak at 2642 meters. At times I didn’t think I could make it, but when I did, it was almost a spiritual feeling for me.” Miami’s Giro d’Italia may be a grand and high-profile ride, and the heights of France may bring riders close to heaven’s realm, but Chris reminds us of the simple truth at the heart of cycling. “My favorite moments are when I’m riding my bike with Matt,” she says. “It’s wonderful to be married to someone who enjoys being fit and doing it together. The time we have together out on our bikes is precious, and I savor those times just the two of us.” The sport of cycling may be practical— but get into the world of cycling, and you’re sure to find that spirit of camaraderie that binds it all together.

AGING – The Slow, Graceful Way
W
e have grandchildren from the age of one to fourteen. We enjoy their endless energy and think how great it would be to be that young again. In reality, it’s not so bad being a little older; it’s just that the whole getting-older-thing brings with it some issues and concerns that are difficult to ignore. It’s normal to consider ourselves bulletproof when we’re young, but as age creeps in, we start wondering why we didn’t pay more attention to our health decades sooner. I
can assure you that I’ve had those thoughts myself, and with each birthday I think more about how I can slow down the aging process. You can look at it as extending life, stealing extra years or simply anti-aging— but any way you cut it, the goal is to live longer in good health. Considering that billions have been spent trying to discover the “fountain of youth,” it’s safe to say it’s not found in a bottle at the local pharmacy. In general, most everyone is born with good health, ready to reach adulthood with few medical setbacks. Our bodies are truly marvelous creations designed to last many decades. Our bodies convert the nutrients in our food (micronutrients including vitamins and minerals) into the molecules required to function and feed our ever growing cells. Extensive research proves that, with a proper diet, through the first 30 years or so our system functions very efficiently. Unfortunately, things change with time,

and by the age of 40, or even younger, nearly every one of us is less capable of producing the molecules that our bodies need. Antioxidants are one critical class of molecules that our bodies become less capable of manufacturing with age. An antioxidant is a molecule that prevents the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a substance to an oxidizing agent, and these reactions can produce peroxides and free radicals. In turn, these
Keeping the whole “getting-olderthing” at bay!
radicals can start chain reactions within living cells that can cause damage to proteins, lipids, DNA and other cellular components. This damage can impair cellular function and ultimately kill cells. This oxidative damage is involved in many diseases, such as atherosclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, heart failure, myocardial infarction, Alzheimer’s disease, fragile X syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome. In addition to these diseases, oxidation is associated with many of the processes of aging. Reducing oxidative stress (damage) could play a role in reducing our risk of developing these diseases and help to keep our bodies functioning well for as long as possible. Fortunately, our bodies contain their own arsenal of antioxidants to deal with oxidation. We are born with the ability to produce enzymes including superoxide
dismutase, catalase and glutathione that protect our bodies from oxidative damage. While these enzymes play an incredible role in keeping our cells healthy, they are not always able to keep up with oxidation as we age. This is when oxidative stress occurs. In oxidative stress, free radicals and peroxides begin to accumulate faster, thus introducing damage that further magnifies the aging process. While a certain amount of oxidation is inevitable, we can still take steps to reduce oxidative stress and ensure that our bodies are equipped with adequate antioxidants to manage the oxidation that will occur. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is one way to enable our bodies to best deal with oxidation. We can reduce our exposure to oxidants by eating a diet that is low in processed foods and avoiding dangerous oxidizing chemicals and environmental pollutants. We can then help our bodies maintain adequate defenses against oxidation by exercising regularly and consuming foods high in antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin E. Measuring our body’s ability to cope with oxidation can help us to both understand how well our body is dealing with oxidation currently and to determine what steps we need to take to prevent damage in the future. Because glutathione is one of the most effective antioxidant enzymes that we produce, measuring glutathione levels is an easy way to gauge our ability to avoid oxidative damage. Glutathione levels can be assessed with a simple blood test. Clinically speaking, ideal glutathione range is 544–1228 micromoles. Glutathione may not be the magical “fountain of youth,” but it can certainly help us maintain our youth—or at least age gracefully. While glutathione is not readily available in a bottle, there are specific supplements that provide glutathione precursors and Nrf2 activators. These cause your genes to synthesize glutathione to help your systems function like a fifteenyear-old again. By taking simple steps to prevent unnecessary damage, we can improve our long-term health. In preserving our body’s natural functions, we have a better chance in keeping up with the grandkids.

Welcome Back!
stores looking for items other stores ran out of. Establish your new family routine. Talk to your children about the new school year approaching and discuss the change in schedule and routine. Map out for them a clear schedule including chores, homework, reading, family game night, dinner time and more. Your children will begin to naturally see that the school year is important and a time to regroup and focus on learning. Organize your house. In order to reduce clutter and preserve a fresh, clean, organized home, be sure to designate specific locations for your children’s belongings. Homework location should also be established. High-school-aged children should have a choice in the matter. Younger children usually need an area set aside in the family room or kitchen for adult supervision…and a little encouragement. BACK IN SESSION! After the first day. Hopefully, you’re able to rid your schedule of business trips and/or meetings so you can experience this very special and important day in your child’s life. For the first hour your child is home from school, be available to hear your elementary student ramble in gibberish about how exciting their first day was. Your older children may not want to talk as much, but consider asking a couple questions. Don’t be too disappointed if they cut the conversation short, though. Let them know you love them and hope they have great teachers this year, and they will eventually talk. Either way, it means the world to them that you were the first person they saw when they came home from school.
School is almost back in session, which means that our lives, as parents, will soon be back to normal.This is certainly an exciting time of year; however, for most parents and children this can also be the most stressful time of year. Now that it is time to adhere again to a strict routine, it is important for us to be aware of the challenges we may face and obtain the proper tools we need in order to handle them wisely. Start preparing early (that means NOW) Create a family calendar. My favorite online calendar can be found at www.cozi.com. There, you will discover great ways to schedule events and activities for you and all of your family members. Another option is to have a printed calendar. Printed calendars are great for educating young children on the days of the week. Good physical and mental health. Be sure your child is in good physical and mental health. In their article “Back-to-School Transitions: Tips for Parents,” Ted Feinberg and Katherine C. Cowan offer the following advice:
“Discuss any concerns you have over your child’s emotional or psychological development with your pediatrician. Your doctor can help determine if your concerns

are normal, age-appropriate issues or require further assessment. Your child will benefit if you can identify and begin addressing a potential issue before school starts.” Prepare for registration. There is nothing worse than having to scurry through files looking for required paperwork in order to register your child at their school. As paperwork and packets come home from school, be sure to review them just as fast as they arrive. Buy school supplies and uniforms early. School supplies might go on sale closer to the first day of school, but it is not worth the pennies saved! Save your frustration and shop now! Another option is to order the sets that most schools sell now. They may charge a little extra, but it will save you a lot of time from having to drive around to multiple
Plan to volunteer in the classroom. If your schedule allows, plan to volunteer in the classroom periodically throughout the year. Attending school activities and functions will help your child understand that that you care about their learning experience. Being in the classroom is also a good way to develop a relationship with your child’s teachers and classmates, and to get firsthand experience of the classrooms environment and routine. If you or your child is having a hard time adjusting to the new school routine, there are plenty of websites that offer information and support. There are also websites, like www.kidshealth. org , that offer great advice to your child when they may not be comfortable talking to you about their personal issues. The most important thing is to remain calm, let your children know how much you love them, and try to communicate with your children as much as possible. This is going to be the best year yet!

Part owner Pam Day says, “Sky Zone is not just fun for the younger crowd, it is for the young at heart as well. We have many different activities for our guests of all ages.” The Foam Zone is a popular hit with kids and adults alike who enjoy doing flips into a giant pit of foam blocks, while Sky Slam allows jumpers to try their dunking skills on two different height rims. The largest of all the playing fields, the Main Court, gives everyone the chance to try out their latest freestyle jumping moves. Part owner Cory Haffner says, “Far too many kids sit in front of the TV video gaming. I like that Sky Zone offers kids at all fitness levels to get an opportunity to exercise and have fun.”

Trainer’s Tip:
To make them easier, place your feet farther apart or drop to your knees. For a more advanced version, place all your weight on one foot (with the other foot held in the air) for half the reps. Switch feet for the other half of the reps.

Get in the push-up position with hands on the floor, shoulder-width apart and directly under shoulders, and toes on the floor about hipwidth apart, keeping core tight and back flat. Slowly bend at the elbows to lower body toward the floor, keeping back flat. Lower as far as you are able and push through your hands to return to the start position. Repeat for 30 reps.

Trainer’s Tip:
To modify this move, just don’t go as deep into the lunge. For a more advanced version, hold a dumbbell in each hand to add more weight and challenge your muscles more.

4. Floor Dips
Sit on the floor with feet on the floor, knees bent. Place your hands behind you on the floor on either side of your butt with finger tips pointing toward your toes. Extend right leg, keeping upper thighs and knees together. Lift your butt off the floor by pushing up with your arms. Slowly lower yourself back toward the floor, keeping legs together at the knees, elbows pointing back. Repeat for 15 dips, and then repeat for 15 reps with the left leg extended.

If it is a bit too advanced for you to do the dips with one leg extended, that’s okay—just do them with both feet on the floor.

Trainer’s Tip:
5. Squats
Extending your arms to the front will help with balance. For a more advanced squat, try placing one foot on a stool 6”–12” off the floor, and do an uneven squat. Perform half the reps with one foot elevated and switch to the other foot for the other half of the reps.
Stand with feet slightly wider than hip-width apart with hands on your hips. Slowly bend at the knees, pushing your glutes out behind you and keeping core tight, being careful not to allow knees to turn inward. Lower yourself as close to parallel with the floor as you can. Pause, and then squeeze glutes to return to the start position. Repeat for 30 reps.

L
ooking at Sandy Dykstra’s before and after pictures, it’s hard to believe the same woman posed for both photos. A self-described outgoing and fun-loving person, Sandy’s naturally positive disposition allowed her to ignore for years the fact that she was so overweight. “My husband and I traveled quite a bit—and we enjoyed all the different cuisines along the way!” she quips. Still, day in and day out, she felt sluggish and run down. “I was not an active person,” she says. “Short walks around the neighborhood walking our dog winded me and bothered my lower back.” Her excessive weight forced her onto blood pressure meds, and she suffered terrible migraines. “I even had lots of fatty moles on my face,” Sandy says. Don’t even get her started on shopping for clothes.
All I Want for Christmas
A few years ago, Sandy’s son Blaise—a personal trainer from the age of 16—got his parents a gift for Christmas that would change their lives— well, eventually. “He gave my husband and me a free year gym membership—we were mortified!” Sandy recalls. Not ready to take the challenge, they hid their gifted gym bags in the closet, letting more than a year pass before taking action. Sandy, while looking through some pictures from a recent family cruise, finally decided the time had come. “I finally realized how big I had become, and I looked horrific,” she says. That very day, Sandy called Blaise and said, “I am ready, and I will give you 1000 percent—let’s go!” And so in June 2010, Sandy wrote down her goals in her workout book. “My first goal was to lose 80 lbs.,” she says. (She wasn’t even sure if it was possible.) Goal number two? “Being able to do at least one pull-up on the pull-up bar.”
Pedal to the Metal!
From day one, Blaise ran his mother through her paces. “Believe me—he cut his momma no slack!” Sandy says. Lifting weights five days a week and ending each workout with 20 to 30 minutes of cardio, Sandy trained hard. “I thought I was going to die,” she confesses. “Even though my muscles were sore and fatigued every day, I still worked through it.” Sandy gave up her beloved soda and fast food, adopting a nutritionally rich
28
ACTIVELI FEGUI DE . COM

diet of baked or grilled chicken, salmon, and tilapia; brown rice; sweet potatoes; and, of course, plenty of fruits and veggies. “I also drank only water,” she says. Once a week she allowed herself a cheat meal. “Believe me, I picked the most fattening cheat meal possible, to make myself feel that I wasn’t deprived,” she laughs.
Unlimited
Last year, Sandy started competing in figure/ physique body building competitions. (I’ve seen the pictures—absolutely fierce.) And now that Sandy has discovered the benefits of healthy living, she can’t imagine life any other way. “I truly feel amazing!” she says. “I feel extremely strong and athletic and have tons of unlimited energy!” She’s off her meds, and those unsightly moles have completely disappeared. To make Sandy’s transformation even more impressive, consider that Sandy achieved all of this without any surgical help. She hasn’t even had surgery to lose any extra skin. “That is another reason why it’s so important to lift weights,” she says. “Don’t be concerned about getting big and bulky,” she says to women who may be concerned about that. “Lifting weights will lean you out and get you into shape.” At her largest, Sandy wore a size 22/24. In competition, she dipped all the way down to size 0. “My biggest accomplishment has been
squatting 315 lbs. for 6 reps,” Sandy tells me. Still training at least four to five days per week, Sandy has also picked up biking as a hobby—commonly riding 30 to 40 miles in an afternoon. And she’s happy to say she can do pull-ups now. “I can do 100 in sets of 12 to 15!” At 50 years old, Sandy Dykstra is in the prime of her life. It’s no wonder her husband says he needs to carry around a big stick while they’re out in public—just take a look at that “after” photo! “I have always felt comfortable in my own skin,” Sandy says, “but now I have the confidence that I can do anything!” If you have recently accomplished a health, fitness, or nutrition goal that you would like to share with our readers, please contact us at editorial@activelifeguide.com

Conquering Aging
Y
ikes! When did I start looking so old? This question is being asked by men and women all over the country; and they are wondering what they can do about the lines, wrinkles, age spots, drooping eyelids and sagging chins that they see in the mirror every day. When baby boomers were growing up, there was not enough research and education to warn them about the sun’s effects on the skin, the body’s largest organ. Baby oil infused with iodine, reflectors, and repeated burning of the skin to a crisp—with hopes that the raging red sunburn would turn into a beautiful, bronze tan—were all part of summer for this age group. Now they are left to deal with skin cancer, loose skin, pronounced wrinkles, acne pocks and scars, and hyperpigmentation (sun spots). Lasers, photo facials, Botox, fillers and surgery are the most immediate remedies

for anyone of any age who is not willing to wait for results. These options are offered by medical experts as office or hospital procedures. Estheticians, who are trained and licensed in skin care, offer a variety of non-invasive treatments and procedures that reduce and push back visible signs of damage done earlier in life, often by the age of eighteen. Finding an esthetician who is experienced and educated in the field of skin care is the first step in making a decision to improve any and all issues associated with aging and sun damage. Visit your esthetician often enough to: 1. Learn about skin care that will be chosen for your particular issues; understand what you need to do to achieve results and follow through until results are visible. 2. Research ingredients that are in your skin care so that you understand how the products can help to improve the problem areas that stare back at you in the mirror.
A variety of noninvasive procedures exist to help you turn back the hands of time. 3. Try a variety of procedures, including microdermabrasion, micro current, IPL treatments, laser skin tightening, oxygen facials, chemical, enzyme and peels. Beauty products and treatments are more scientific and advanced than ever before. Learn as much as you can about retinol, peptides, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, hydroquinone, vitamin C, enzymes, glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids—all current buzz words in the skin and beauty industry. With the help of a proficient esthetician, you can create a skin care routine that will enable you to work smarter, not harder, to slow down and reverse aging. Seriously—say yes to the spa, and say no to aging.

“What to do about the Aging face” Sculptra, stem cell face-lifts, Botox… It’s not your grandma’s face-lift anymore!
Eliminate tell-tale signs of aging with any number of today’s treatments.
“How do I make myself look younger?” The answer to this question a few years ago would have been simply to get a “face-lift.” These days, a person has multiple options. Sculptra, stem cell face-lifts, and the use of fillers and neuromodulators (such as Dysport and Botox) provide excellent minimally invasive treatments with solid results. In the past, the aging face was felt to be the result of skin laxity with resultant sagginess and wrinkling. In fact, the major culprit behind the loss of that vibrant, youthful face is decrease in volume. Problems associated with the aging face are the
result of sun damage, collagen loss, fat loss, loss of hydration, decrease in elasticity and stress. Visible effects in the lower face include fine lines, wrinkles and folds. These effects become more severe in the mid face region. Today, there are volume restoration procedures to help reverse the aging process. A very successful treatment is Sculptra, an in-office injection, which stimulates the face to replace its lost collagen. As the collagen is replaced it forms a foundation that, over a few weeks, restores the look of fullness by correcting shallow to deep wrinkles and folds. The restoration of the deep collagen also gives the
skin a more radiant glow. Patients can resume all normal activities upon leaving the office, and the results normally last up to two years. Another volume restoring procedure which can be performed in the office is the stem cell face-lift. By harvesting the patient’s own fat and transferring it to regions of the face suffering from lost volume, we can restore the youthful, oval female face or the more angular male face.
How exciting to be able to offer treatments which require no down time—while still achieving excellent improvement! Patients are encouraged to come in for a free facial evaluation. Hamilton Surgical Arts, Drs. Jackson, Lowery and Santarosa pre and post–op following one treatment with sculptra

Both Dr. Jackson and Dr. Lowery are certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, and both doctors are also certified in surgery. The doctors specialize in a wide range of cosmetic surgery procedures, such as liposuction surgery (including the ultrasonic liposuction technique), breast lift surgery, breast augmentation surgery, breast reconstruction and breast reduction. In addition, he offers the fat transfer method as a solution toward reducing fine lines and wrinkles—a relatively noninvasive way to achieve facial rejuvenation.
