Control and Prevention recently issued a recommendation that all people born from 1945 through 1965 (the so-called baby boomer generation) should have a one-time screening for the hepatitis C virus as part of routine medical care. The CDC noted in their Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on Aug. 17 that “many of the 2.7–3.9 million people living with hepatitis virus infection are unaware they are infected and do not receive care and treatment.” Moreover, the agency found that these baby boomers, while accounting for 27 percent of the population, account for about threefourths of all hepatitis C
virus infections in the United States, 73 percent of the virus-associated deaths and are at the greatest risk for liver cancer and other virusrelated diseases. A one-time test could identify more than 800,000 additional people with hepatitis C and has the potential, because of better treatments and testing, to save more than 120,000 lives, the CDC says. Hepatitis C-related illnesses such as cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer cause more than 15,000 deaths each year. Baby boomers comprise the majority of these deaths. Previously, only individuals with known risk factors were screened for hepatitis
C. The CDC found that many people infected with the disease had not previously considered themselves at risk and so did not get screened. The CDC notes the following people are at increased risk for hepatitis C virus, including: » Current injection — IV — drug users. » Past IV drug users, including those who injected only one time or many years ago. » Recipients of donated blood, blood products and organs (this is now rare because of better blood screening practices began in 1992). » People who received a blood product for clotting problems made before 1992.
» People with known exposures to the virus, such as health care workers injured by needle sticks or recipients of blood or organs from a donor who tested positive for hepatitis C virus. » HIV-infected persons. » Children born to mothers infected with hepatitis C virus. The reason the current recommendation is so important is that a person can be infected with the virus and not know it until liver problems develop. So a onetime test for the hepatitis C virus, the same way we monitor your blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels, helps you to assure you remain healthy now and for years to come.

HEALTHY HALLOWEEN TREATS
Avoid nutritional nightmares McClatchy Newspapers
A trick-or-treat bag of Halloween candy can be a parent’s nightmare. No matter how hard mom or dad tries to keep youngsters from eating too many of the sugary goodies, it happens. Instead of sending the kids to dozens of houses on Halloween night, opt for treats from a few close neighbors, and have a party at your home. “Kids learn what they live,” registered dietitian Anita Courtney said. “If every party they attend has nothing but unhealthy food, it sets up an ongoing expectation. Because youth are hit with messages encouraging them to eat unhealthy food almost everywhere they turn, it’s important for parents to create a new paradigm. “In my experience, parents love it when other parents offer their children healthy options. Kids love fresh fruits and vegetables especially when they are presented in an attractive manner. When I put out fruit and veggie platters at my children’s gatherings they were always the first to disappear,” said Courtney, who is chairperson of the Lexington Tweens Nutrition and Fitness Coalition. Here are some tips from GreenHalloween.org on how to make your Halloween party peoplehealthy, animal-friendly and earthconscious. » When it comes to costumes and décor — reuse, borrow, trade, purchase used or do-it-yourself. » Treat bags can be anything. Match the bag to the costume using something you already own. Here are some ideas: purses, flower pots (cover the hole), cloth sacks, backpacks or lunch boxes. » If you’re giving a party, avoid disposables including napkins,

Combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. When kneading the dough, add just enough flour to the dough and your hands to keep the dough from sticking. Flatten dough and fold it toward you. Using the heels of your hands, push the dough away with a rolling motion. Rotate dough a quarter turn and repeat the “fold, push and turn” steps. Keep kneading dough until it is smooth and elastic. Use a little more flour if dough becomes too sticky, always working the flour into the ball of dough. Divide dough into 8 portions;

Add a second crust to the same baking sheet. Bake for 6 to 7 minutes, dough will be just set and only lightly browned on the bottom. Remove crusts to a wire rack to cool. Continue with remaining pizza dough. (Works best to use several baking sheets.) May use crusts immediately or place in freezer bags and freeze for up to 1 month. If making a day ahead, place crusts in resealable plastic bags and refrigerate. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 475 degrees. Spread each crust with pizza sauce. Top with desired toppings to make Halloween designs. Repeat with remaining pizzas.

» 2012 Turkey Trot Hosted by the North Colorado Medical Center Foundation and the CardioVascular Institute of North Colorado at NCMC, the annual Turkey Trot will take place Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 22. The event, which benefits the Cardiac Rehabilitation Center, includes a 2K/5K Fun Run/Walk, as well as pictures with Santa. For more information and registration details, call (970) 3506204, or go to www.ncmcfoundation.org/events/turkey-trot.
» Use Cool Whip instead of real whipping cream. » For desserts that call for evaporated milk, use skim evaporated milk instead. PAY ATTENTION TO LABELS
“There’s a huge difference in the brands, so it’s important to remember to look at the labels,” Branom said. Checking for added carbohydrates, added sugar and added fat is the easiest way to determine how healthy ingredients are. She also suggests looking for foods with higher fiber. SLOW DOWN
“Another key piece is to slow down and savor a meal,” Branom said. “People can have it if they want it, but
people need to listen to their body when they’re feeling full. We have 24-hour access to food in our country, and we can pay better attention to when are we satisfied and when are we hungry.” Branom suggests that people engage in more conversation during meal time and eat a slower pace, allowing their bodies enough time to recognize their fullness and avoid overindulgence. “I know that takes the fun out of seconds, but it’s healthier for them,” Branom said. “But just think, if you’re overindulging and going back for seconds and thirds, you’re really not leaving space for dessert. ... Eat it because you’re hungry and you like it, not because it’s in front of you.” She also noted that drinking non-caloric beverages — like water or unsweetened ice tea — before and during meals will also help people feel full faster. DON’T SKIP MEALS
“When they know a big meal is coming, a lot of people will tend to skip meals,” Branom said. “That’s just making them more hungry, so they’re so famished that they tend to overeat.” It’s important for people to eat lightly before big holiday meals or parties. Having a small, healthy snack with protein — like yogurt, fruit or a protein smoothie — will satisfy hunger and keep metabolism rates steady.

Choose a dog breed that matches your fitness goals By James Fell Chicago Tribune
I
had two standard poodles growing up, and I remember channeling Barbara Woodhouse and calling in a high-pitched British accent, “Walkies!” and then watching my pets come unglued in anticipation. Good times. I love dogs but can no longer own one because my lovely wife is allergic to anything with hair that has more than two legs. Our kids have pet reptiles. Taking the snake out for a slither just isn’t the same, and bearded dragons hate leashes more than cats do. Sigh. If you need motivation to move, it’s hard to beat Canis familiaris to get you out the door. But note that a dog isn’t an impulse buy like a Bowflex. You can’t ignore them or let them become a coat rack. This is one workout partner you mustn’t bail on. You’ve got to be a good human. Dogs equal duty, and duty can be a powerful motivator for fitness. Puppy dog eyes that say “Wanna go outside?” can get you moving. If you want a new four-legged friend to accompany you on your fitness endeavors, it’s important to consider breed and build to make sure you’re evenly matched. The dog for the workout warrior isn’t the same one as for the casual walker. And some dogs swim well, while others should stay land-based. “For any breed, you want to start out with an exam to give them a clean bill of health,” says Idahobased Marty Becker, the veterinarian for VetStreet.com and author of more than 20 books on pet ownership, including one called “Fitness
“
FOR THE TRIBUNE
For any breed, you want to start out with an exam to give them a clean bill of health.
Unleashed” about working out with your dog. You don’t want to push your new pal too hard; they need to adapt to training just like humans do. “You want to get them panting tired,” Becker told me when I asked about how hard to let their pets work. “This will vary based on breed and age. You don’t want them panting excessively. If they start falling behind or seeking shade, it’s too much.” And it’s not just older dogs you need to be concerned about taking it easy on, but younger as well.
Marty Becker veterinarian
“Wait until the dog is fully matured until you really start pushing the mileage,” said Katrina Mealey, a professor of veterinary medicine at Washington State University. Mealey, who is a Boston-qualifying marathon runner, told me that certain breeds of dogs, once adapted to the distance, can make excellent training partners even for serious runners. “It doesn’t necessarily have to be a big dog,” Mealey told me. “I have a Jack Russell terrier that, when he was younger, I could take running for 8 to 10 miles at a fast pace.”
Mealey and Becker agree that there are simple but significant differences to identify which dogs are better workout warriors than others. “Dogs with pushed in faces — pugs, Pekingese and Shih Tzus, for example — they have a hard time breathing normally,” Becker said. “If you take them too far or too fast, they are at a risk of dying.” Mealey added that these shortmuzzled dogs can’t tolerate heat as well either. What’s more, such dogs, especially if they are bulkier or more muscular like a bulldog, aren’t great swimmers. Actually, they sink. But they can still be a good fitness companion for the walker. It’s important to match the dog to the owner, and if you’re not up for lengthy and intense exercise, an
older dog and/or one that is bulkier with a shorter muzzle that isn’t built for speed or endurance may be more your style. Little dogs like Yorkshire terriers and miniature poodles are good, too. If you do happen to have a dog with more energy than you, there is always the game of fetch. For the more ambitious athlete, you, of course, want the dog that simply looks fast: sleeker and with a longer muzzle. Although as shown with Mealey’s Jack Russell, they don’t have to be big. Some specific recommendations from Becker and Mealey for dog breeds that are good distance runners are: border collies, German short-haired pointers, Dalmatians, Labrador and golden retrievers, whippets, greyhounds and standard poodles. Even if you want to run sprint intervals, they can keep up. For the hiking aficionado, Becker said the Bernese mountain dog, Alaskan malamute and Siberian husky are all good choices. He also endorses doggy backpacks. “They can bring water and snacks,” he said. Some final words of caution from both experts are that if you don’t fulfill your duties by exercising your pet, you’re asking for behavioral problems. Dogs are not a home gym you can ignore. Becker, who also wrote the book “The Healing Power of Pets,” says that pet ownership is more than just having a dedicated workout partner. “Pets don’t just make us feel good, they are actually good for us,” he told me. “There is a real affection connection. It’s a bedrock you can stand on. They help people learn empathy and responsibility, and there is a lot of evidence that they promote longevity.”

DOCTORS CALL FOR PROTECTIONS FOR CHEERLEADERS
Just in case you missed a day...
Los Angeles Times
Laryngitis might once have been the worst injury a cheerleader faced. But cheerleading has become a full-on competitive sport of its own, with injuries to match. Last week, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a policy statement to try to ensure that participants — 3.6 million kids ages 6 and older — get the same care as quarterbacks and pitchers. “Cheerleading has become extremely competitive in the past few years, incorporating more complex skills than ever before,” said Cynthia LaBella, a pediatric sports medicine specialist and member of the academy’s council on Sports Medicine and Fitness, in a statement issued at the academy’s conference in New Orleans. She is a co-author of the new guidelines, which call for coaches and schools to develop emergency plans and ensure that cheerleading programs have the same level of coaching, injury surveillance and medical care as other programs. Only 29 state high school athletic associations recognize cheerleading as a sport, and the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. does not include it as a sponsored sport. That inclusion, the academy said, gives a program protections such as well-maintained practice facilities, certified trainers and physicals. Most cheerleading injuries
FOR THE TRIBUNE
are sprains and strains, with head and neck injuries the second most common. Since 2007, there have been 26,000 cheerleading injuries a year, and the sport accounts for 66 percent of all catastrophic injuries to high school female athletes in the last 25 years, the academy said. Cheerleading, the academy said, “is one of the highest risk sporting events for direct catastrophic injuries that can result in permanent brain injury, paralysis or death.” Most serious injuries occur while performing complex stunts such as pyramids, said Jeffrey Mjaanes, co-author of
the new guidelines. The guidelines call for all states to recognize cheerleading as a sport; all participants to have preseason physical exams and access to qualified strength and conditioning coaches. They also seek training for all cheerleaders in spotting others; for pyramid and other stunts to be performed only on a spring or foam floor or on grass; for pyramids to be limited to two people high; for a written emergency plan; and for cheerleaders suspected of suffering a head injury to be removed from participation until cleared by a health professional.
