Ask the Expert: KidnEy StonES

Question:

Is there anything I can do to prevent kidney stones?

Answer:

one of the most common reasons patients are seen in our urology practice is kidney stones. Studies have suggested they affect 10 to 15 percent of the U.S. population. Most kidney stones are made up of various crystals of calcium. the crystals form into stone when urine becomes overconcentrated. Kidney stones, though seemingly tiny, can be very painful to pass through the body. However, there are some simple things you can do to prevent the formation of kidney stones, or the growth of any stones you may already have.

10 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR WORKOUT MORE FUN

By Erin Holdgate

Experts say you can make your workout more fun by joining a class or incorporating energizing music to the workout.

J

ust because “work” is in “workout,” doesn’t mean it has to be a job.

If you’ve just about given up on that boring, repetitive exercise routine, don’t! Megan Babkes Stellino, a psychology of sport and physical activity professor at the University of Northern Colorado and certified personal trainers Mark Warburton of Work Out West in Greeley and Tom Forsyth from Team Tom at Conditioning Spa Health and Fitness in Greeley have offered some tips so you can have fun while you work out.

MAKE IT SOCIAL

Forsyth, Stellino and Warburton agree that one of the easiest ways to make your workout more fun is to do it with friends.

“Invite your neighbor. Share a goal. I’m all about having stories,” Warburton said. “You want to be able and sit down with a friend and say ‘Hey, remember when we climbed that tree? That was fun.’ ”

TURN UP THE TUNES

Whether it’s country, heavy metal or hip-hop, Forsyth said listening to your favorite music is a quick way to unwind, get in the zone and flow through your workout.

“Music impacts mood,” Stellino said. “So working out to music of your choice makes your workout more fun.”

DO WHAT YOU’RE BEST AT If you run at the Olympic level, throw on those tennis shoes and head out the door. If you’re the next gold-medal swimmer, then grab your goggles and dive into the deep end.

Whatever your niche may be, Stellino said the easiest way to make

your workout more fun is to do something you know you’re good at.

“It’s called perceived competence,” Stellino said. “If we think we’re good at something, we’ll have more fun doing it.”

MAKE IT SWEET

Team Tom suggests eating a piece of fruit, such as a banana, 30 minutes before your workout. “(Fruit) keeps your sugar levels and energy up, which will help you feel good during the workout,” Forsyth said.

MIX IT UP

If you’re bored with a repetitive exercise plan, change it up.

Warburton suggests doing a different class each week.

“It can be the same class, but at a new time with different people,” Warburton said.

SET GOALS

Setting goals and achieving them can make anyone feel good about their workout.

“If you’re working toward something you want, then it will be fun and not just work,” Forsyth said.

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY

“People who enjoy swimming like feeling the buoyancy of their bodies in the water,” Stellino said.

“Runners enjoy getting that run-

ners high.”

According to Stellino, this is called movement sensation. When your body enjoys the way something feels, your brain will, too.

On the other hand, Stellino said, “avoid painful activities.”

DECISIONS, DECISIONS

There are plenty of options when it comes to exercise. Don’t do anything you feel like you’re forced to do.

Stellino explained that people who choose their workout have more fun than people who don’t, a concept called autonomy.

“Remember that you volunteered to do it, and that it’s meant to be fun,” Warburton said. “It shouldn’t

be a chore.”

TAKE CLASSES

Forsyth and Warburton agree that classes are a great way to enjoy a workout.

“There’s a lot of smiles in the classes,” Warburton said. “You get in a workout, but it’s fun, as well.”

Forsyth said meeting people in the class with a common interest also makes time go by faster.

DO WHAT YOU LOVE

“Figure out what you enjoy doing the most and design that into some sort of physical activity,” Warburton said. “If it’s walking the dog, walk the dog a little faster.”

Forsyth suggests doing an activity you enjoyed as a kid.

Luckily, lifestyle changes can help you stay active longer.

decrease stress on cartilage, or connective tissue. Vary workouts to include both cardiovascular and strengthtraining.

Maintain a healthy weight. Every extra pound puts six to seven times that amount of pressure on your knees. That can destroy cartilage and result in painful bone-on-bone contact.

Focus on posture.

Slouching while sitting or standing leads to uneven weight distribution that can strain ligaments and muscles, according to the

keep your joints healthy for life Mayo Clinic.

Avoid damaging activities. People at high risk for arthritis may want to limit high-impact exercises (moves where both feet leave the ground at once). Former athletes who have suffered knee ligament tears, for example, may benefit more from low-impact workouts such as swimming and biking. If you’re experiencing knee pain, also avoid deep squats and lunges.

Don’t overdo exercise. Never increase workout lengths by more than 10 percent per week. If

you run 10 miles one week, don’t try to do 20 the next — make it 11.

Learn proper form. Consult a coach or trainer at least once, particularly with activities requiring repetitive motions such as tennis, golf and weight lifting.

Don’t skip your warm-up. Tight muscles around a joint increase injury risk. Stretch after workouts, too.

Seek treatment.

Don’t wait too long to consult a doctor about chronic joint pain or declining range of motion.

PLAYING IT SAFE ■ Doctor explains that today’s concussion

could also lead to problems down the line

By Sara Quale Banner Health public relations specialist

W

hen doctors and coaches pull an athlete from an activity because of suspected head trauma, they aren’t doing so to be mean. They aren’t overreacting. And, by no means are they benching an athlete because they fear legal action from the parents if health complications arise.

Doctors and coaches follow evidence-based guidelines for concussions to protect the health of young athletes today and in the future.

“The biggest problem I face is angry parents,” said Banner Health neurologist Jeffrey Siegel, M.D., about treating children who have suffered head injuries in sports.

“For most families, this could be the child’s ticket to college. That’s huge.”

Siegel, who practices at North Colorado Neurology in Greeley, said by failing to properly address the athlete’s injury, parents could sacrifice their children’s health.

Guidelines from the American Association of Neurology follow a grading scale to determine the severity of a concussion.

In Grade 1, the youngster shows confusion, but no loss of consciousness. Confusion or other symptoms resolve in less than 15 minutes.

“In Grade 1, the child is dinged and just confused,” Siegel said. “If it lasts more than 15 minutes, you go to Grade 2.”

Grade 2 symptoms might include inability to concentrate or amnesia.

If this lasts more than an hour, the athlete should be taken to receive

Details A concussion is a brain injury that results in a temporary disruption of normal brain function. It occurs when the brain is violently rocked back and forth or twisted inside the skull as a result of a blow to the head or body. An athlete doesn’t have to lose consciousness to suffer a concussion. Estimates indicate that more than 140,000 U.S. high school athletes suffer a concussion each year.

medical attention.

In Grade 3, the athlete loses consciousness for any period of time.

Siegel said mental status testing can be easy to do and easily learned through courses. The Colorado High School Activities Association requires coaches to take online

training that addresses what symptoms to look for and deciding when a student is ready to return to play.

The importance of following these guidelines is crucial, Siegel said.

“Kids don’t recognize the danger they are in, and it’s our responsibility as adults to do what we can” to prevent long-term damage.

“It’s an athlete’s death that makes the newspapers. More common, however, is when an athlete sustains small, multiple injuries which accumulate and degrade the intelligence and function of that person.

“We don’t know a critical number, but at some point, it becomes a little bit too much, and there’s going to be damage. It could be subtle or obvious. Kids don’t understand the repercussions,” Siegel said. “They

don’t care about what they might be like when they’re 30 years old and trying to hold a career and a family together.”

Evidence shows a relationship between the number and frequency of concussions and the development of dementia later in life, he said. The research also shows a relationship between concussions and academic performance and performance on neurological testing.

“Is that a good trade off ? You win a trophy, but then you might not get that promotion as readily, or you might have marital difficulties,” Siegel said.

He has seen patients with injuries from many sports: soccer, basketball, horse riding, skiing, boxing and football. He advocates reasonable precautions for activities such as using bike or ski helmets. Also, coaches and parents should be more aware of the symptoms of a concussion and act accordingly.

PAW THERAPY STUDIES SHOW PETS CAN REDUCE STRESS, CHOLESTEROL, OBESITY

By Drs. Kay Judge and Maxine Barish-Wreden McClatchy Newspapers

L

ooking for a holistic way to reduce stress, cholesterol and obesity? Get a pet.

Statistics show that 62 percent of American households own a pet.

According to a national survey, most pet owners say companionship, love, company and affection are the No. 1 benefits to owning a pet.

We know that pets make good companions and decrease loneliness, but numerous studies have shown other profound health benefits of owning a pet: Pets help recovery from heart attacks. A National Institutes of Health study of 421 adults found that dog owners had a better one-year survival after a heart attack, compared to those who did not own dogs.

Pets help us calm down.

A study of 240 married couples showed that pet owners had lower heart rates and blood pressure as compared to those without pets.

Pets help reduce stress better than our human companions. Pet owners had less stress and quicker recovery from stress when they were with their pets as compared to when they were with their spouse or friend.

Pet owners have less obesity. A study looking at 2,000 adults found that pet owners who walked their dogs had less rates of obesity and

Pets can make people healthier, studies have shown. The benefits of pet ownership range from increased mobility and quicker recoveries to less weight and less stress.

were more physically active than those without pets.

Pet owners have better mobility in their golden years. Another NIH study looking at 2,500 adults aged 71-82 showed that adults who regularly walked their dogs had more mobility inside the house than non-pet owners.

Pets increase opportunities for socialization.

Many studies have shown that walking a dog leads to more conversations and socialization.

Pets can help your cholesterol. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that owning a pet can decrease cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure.

Pets can help comfort children. Child psychologists have found that pets can be very comforting to children and help them develop empathy. They have also been found to help autistic children with socialization.

So for those of you with pets, continue to enjoy the hidden health benefits of your furry friends. And for those of you thinking of getting one — do so.

Pet ownership may be a path to your good health.

Styling makes healthier food taste better

By Charles Stuart Platkin www.dietdetective.com

A

research study appearing in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine found that if other foods were presented in McDonald’s wrappers, young children actually liked them better than when the same foods

were presented without the wrapper (e.g., hamburger to hamburger). In another study that appeared in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, the researchers found that when escalloped potatoes or stuffed shells offered in a college cafeteria looked dry, the students didn’t select them as often, indicating that the appearance of food influ-

by Gil Morrot and colleagues and reported in the journal Brain and Language, set up a wine tasting for 54 undergraduates from the faculty of Oenology of the University of Bordeaux. When the researchers artificially colored white wine with an odorless

dye to look red, the panel of soon-to-be wine connoisseurs described its aroma as that of red wine.

And finally, a study in the Journal of Consumer Research found that the color of a drink can influence how you think it tastes. In fact, the researchers found that color had more of an influence on perception of taste than either quality or price information. When presented with two cups of the same Tropicana orange juice, one of which had been darkened with food coloring, the members of the researcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sample group perceived differences in taste that did not exist. However, when given two cups of orange juice that were the same color, one of which had been sweetened with sugar, the same people failed to perceive taste differences.

The problem is that when most people start to cook healthier, the food looks bland â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and if a food looks uninteresting, there is a high likelihood that it will be perceived as tasting uninteresting. Here are a few tips from top food stylists for making healthier foods look more appealing.

Garnish

Here are some garnishing suggestions from Sarah Thompson, food stylist for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taste of Home Cookbook, Cooks who Care Edition.â&#x20AC;?

Bundle matchstick-cut veggies such as carrots, red and yellow peppers and zucchini together; wrap them with a strip of green onion and carefully tie it into a knot. Then steam the bundles in a skillet with a little chicken broth, water or wine.

Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over salad greens (savory) or yogurt (sweet) for a great shot of color and added sweet-tartness. Fresh currants offer a delicate touch and a pop of color, and bright orange kumquats,

Âť

Âť

whole or cut in half, make a nice garnish for both entrees and desserts.

Fresh herbs are a garnishing staple. In sprigs or minced, for either sweet or savory recipes, herbs are a go-to garnish that makes everything look more presentable. Celery leaves are a quick and economical garnish when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a time crunch!

Âť

Add color

When planning your meal, think about the colors of the various components.

When the food on your plate is all one color â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s white or beige â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it will look a lot less appealing.

Add a punch of eyepopping color with red, yellow and green peppers, red and orange beets, yellow and green winter and summer squashes. Carrots also come in yellow, purple and orange, and string beans can be purple, yellow or green.

Tomatoes come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes.

All of these enhance the visual palette of the plate, says Jean Galton, a Seattle chef and food stylist, (jeangalton.com). Also, use a sprig of fresh dill or parsley on your plate. Or hollow out a sweet red, green, yellow or orange bell pepper as a container for a veggie dip.

When steaming/blanching vegetables, it is always important to undercook them slightly, and plunge them into ice cold water to stop the cooking process and keep the beautiful, natural color of the vegetable intact.

Overcooked vegetables will be gray, dull and soggy looking, says Pam Sorin, a food stylist and recipe developer located in New York.

Shape and texture

Consider the textures and colors of various grains and beans (polenta, farro, buckwheat, quinoa and the entire variety of dried beans), as well as seeds (sesame, poppy, pumpkin, flax). Try rice and

soba noodles, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget whole-grain pastas extruded in interesting shapes.

Make sure to add these to your plate, says Galton.

Plating

You often hear chefs talk about the importance of how they â&#x20AC;&#x153;plateâ&#x20AC;? their food. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just throw your food on a plate and serve it. Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating alone, arrange your plate attractively, and never use paper plates. Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a frozen dinner, make sure to put the food on a plate.

Plain white china makes food look more attractive, because the colors of the food arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fighting with the pattern on the plate.

When serving chicken or turkey breasts or boneless pork chops, cut them at a slight angle into an odd number of slices and fan them out on a serving platter or individual plates, says Thompson. By doing this you fill the plate, making the portion look larger.

Make it flat

Flattening boneless, skinless chicken breasts makes them larger, making you feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating a heartier portion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not, says Thompson. It also makes them thinner, which reduces cooking time. Filled chicken breasts, when sliced and arranged on your dinner plate, make for an elegant presentation, she adds.

Give it a spray

Food stylists often brush food with oil before shooting to make it look juicier.

However, too much oil adds calories, so give your food a little spritz of cooking spray instead.

COCONUT CRAZE

■ More products

are popping up

By Douglas Brown The Denver Post

T

he symbolism has meant something to East Indians for thousands of years. And, increasingly, it resonates for Westerners.

Coconuts are the new “in” food, touted by natural-foods enthusiasts and chased by entrepreneurs looking for a big payday.

The fruit’s appeal rests, in part, on this versatility.

A single coconut produces water, nectar, flesh, milk and even textile fiber. That translates into a broad slate of products. And in contrast

Numbers

■ One tablespoon of coconut oil contains 120 calories and 14 grams of fat, 12.5 grams of which are saturated. A tablespoon of butter, by comparison, contains 102 calories and 11.5 grams of fat; 7.3 of those grams are saturated.

■ Coconut milk doesn’t pack quite the wallop of oil, but consume it in moderation: a quarter-cup has 240 calories and 14.5 grams of fat, with 12.5 grams of the fat saturated.

to another natural substance that gets transformed into a wide variety of products — petroleum — coconuts are viewed as healthy.

But are they?

It depends.

Coconut water comes from young, green coconuts and contains a winning combination of electrolytes, sodium and potassium.

It is very healthy.

“It’s an effective drink for rehydration that doesn’t bring in the added sugars and the additives,” said Dani Little, dietitian for the Whole Foods Market on Pearl Street in Boulder.

Coconut oil and milk, though, are receiving mixed reviews. Coconut fat is saturated, like the fat in lard and butter. The healthiest fats, those found in olive and canola oils, contain more monounsaturated fats, which do not raise LDL cholesterol and might even help lower it.

Doctors and dietitians have warned people away from cholesterol-boosting satu-

rated fats for years. Coconut fats are not an exception.

“I’ve had clients who have added coconut oil to shakes and things like that, and their cholesterol has gone up significantly,” said Jessica Crandall, a Denver dietitian.

In addition, coconut fats are high in Lauric acid, which many believe acts as an antimicrobial, helping prevent viruses, fungi and parasites.

Even so, Little, a coconut enthusiast, doesn’t recommend loading up on coconut fats. Instead of buying oils or supplements, just use the whole coconut.

“If you focus on coconut oil, you lose out on the fiber and you are focusing on a concentrated source of calories,” Little said. “It’s the whole coconut that needs to be talked about.”

Nutrition Services director Jeremy West and nutrition coordinator Kara Goff, RD have been with District 6 for less than a year, but they, along with their nutrition team, have been in makeover mode from start, working to raise the quality of food served in nearly 30 cafeterias. “We started our own revolution. It’s time to fight back against childhood obesity.” West said.

Goff points to the “menu makeover” that began at the end of 2009, resulting in new and improved menus, with more healthy choices at all levels. Among those improvements are increasing the overall nutritional integrity of menus, with lower fat and higher fiber content, a greater variety of fresh fruits and vegetables offered every day, fresher and less-processed food items. Goff said the next steps include working to add more items that are made from scratch rather than offering as much processed food, and constantly looking for ways to offer healthful foods that students can be excited about eating.

Adding more fresh, locally grown food

Other improvements in food quality come from a variety of state and local programs. One is Colorado School’s Harvest of the Month program, which features a fresh produce item each month and includes a student-education component as well as ways of incorporating the food in meals throughout the month. Another established effort is the Farm to School program. Over the last two years, the partnership has grown to support local farmers by purchasing directly from them – a program that benefits everyone, both by supporting the local economy and by giving students the freshest food possible.

What makes a healthy meal?

West and Goff set a goal of reducing the percent of total calories from fat in District 6 meals. Schools are required to limit fat calories to 35 percent of the total, but with the recent menu makeover, District 6 meals top out at 30 percent, maximum. That is a significant number when one considers that the district is on track to serve more than 2.5 million meals this school year at 27 sites.

With fresh deli offerings and salads mixed in, elementary students have three meal options for lunch each day. “Some of the feedback we’ve gotten is that they don’t want that kind of food, but it varies from school to school,” she said. “Some schools are really excited about it.” She said she is confident that, over time, increasing numbers of students will learn to embrace the healthiest foods offered.

That may be the greatest challenge facing school meal staff: Educating students on making good food choices. Parental involvement and support, especially in a time of reduced budgets for classroom initiatives, is key in getting the word out and really teaching students about nutrition. “Parents have got to be at the forefront,” Goff said.

Along with additional nutritional improvements, West said menus in the cafeterias next school year will include eye-catching images as well as nutrition information about the food so parents of young students, as well as older students themselves, can identify healthy choices before the students get in line.
