EDITORS NOTE I’ve learned how compassion and patience is needed more than ever. Being present is a mom’s tried and true and listening is a skill to master. I welcome this year of my life with appreciation and happiness. Winter is just around the corner and we all need to alter our health regimens accordingly. It can be so easy to stay in and rent a movie, over indulge in heavy, high calorie foods (Thanksgiving), exercise less. You can always make healthier, hearty foods (lots of cookbooks at the library or recipes on the Internet) and maybe you should try a new exercise regimen to keep you stimulated instead of the same old routine. Sometimes trying something new is exciting and I think that’s a good thing to do when it’s cold and dreary outside.

I’m very happy that you’ve joined us for another Healthy Living issue! We have some informative articles on pain, eye care and many more health topics that will help you become more aware of the latest studies and new treatments that are being offered. For our Senior readers, we have articles on Healthy Aging.

After all, November is the month that these topics are nationally recognized. The holidays are sure to keep us all busy. Organizing, attending, participating in everything can make one a bit weary. If you get stressed over all the activity be prepared to set aside time to relax and take care of yourself. We would like to thank all the nice people who contributed to this issue as well as you, our readers, for continuing to stay in touch with us!

I hope you all get to spend time with your family this Thanksgiving. Stay healthy!

By: Dr. Briana Sinatra, N.D., Healthy Directions If you are feeling stressed, you are not alone. Life pulls us in a lot of different directions, and the last couple of years have taken a particularly tough toll. Sometimes even just trying to accomplish everything that needs to get done in a day can feel overwhelming.

Plus, there are silent stressors you may not even be aware of, like watching too much “bad” news on TV, sitting in traffic, or the pressure to keep up with the perfection you see on social media.

But while stressors are all around us, feeling stressed is not a given. You do not need to go through life feeling irritable, anxious and overwhelmed. I’ll share my top five tips for fighting off stress in a minute. First, here is a look at how stress affects your body: Chronic Stress Puts Your System on High Alert Inside your body, stress is regulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. It is the communication network between your hypothalamus, pituitary gland and adrenal glands.

If you encounter a stressful situation—such as being stuck in traffic on your way to an important appointment— the HPA axis goes into action. It stimulates the release of cortisol, your body’s “stress hormone.” Cortisol raises your blood pressure, quickens your breathing, dilates your pupils, and stimulates the release of blood sugar so you get a sudden surge of energy.

This response, called “fight or flight” mode, is extremely important if you encounter acute danger, like a life-ordeath situation. But most people do not experience life-or-death situations daily.

Instead, we are inundated with so much chronic stress that we do not even realize how stressed we are. Left unchecked, stress takes a real toll on your HPA axis, cortisol level, mood, sleep, and more.

Fortunately, there are five ways to keep stress in check and feel more in control: 1. Nourish Your Body with a Healthy Diet: Eat low glycemic foods and balance carbohydrates with proteins and healthy fats. Also, limit caffeine, alcohol

and foods high in sugar—all of which can affect your mood and stress level. When feeling stressed it is easy to reach for the donut or handful of candy, but that quick fix will only help you to feel better temporarily. When your blood sugar begins to drop, your brain will tell you to eat more sugar to sustain the elevated mood you may have just experienced. It is a tough cycle to break and one that many of us have experienced.

2.

Prioritize Sleep: Stress is much easier to deal with after a good night’s sleep. Plus, sleep helps to reset emotional reactivity, especially during the second half of the night which is when you get your REM sleep. Strive to get 7-9 hours of sleep each night and go to sleep early enough that you do not have to cut your sleep short in the morning.

To help yourself relax, avoid caffeine after noon, limit alcohol and sugar, keep your bedroom dark and cool, and use a lavender diffuser to help you drift off to sleep.

3. Get Outdoors: There is incredible healing power in being out in nature.

Just gazing up at the sky can help to put your stress into perspective. While you are outside, notice how good the sun feels on your face, or the sounds of the birds chirping in the nearby trees. All of these sights and sounds reawaken our minds and have a pleasant, calming effect. You can even take off your shoes and put your bare feet on the damp grass, soil or sand. Connecting with the earth’s energy in this way has been shown to activate your parasympathetic nervous system for a more relaxed state and reduced levels of cortisol.

4. Go on a Media Diet: Years ago, if you wanted to know what was new in the world, you had to open a newspaper or watch the evening news. Now, our phones, social media, and 24-hour cable news stations bombard us with issues to worry about and react to. Plus, social media can have a stressing effect. So, limit the amount of time you spend consuming news and scrolling through social media channels. You want to be informed and feel connected, yet not overloaded. As a STRESS>>PAGE 37

7 Health Benefits of Pumpkin Savor the flavors of the season by learnng about the health-boosting benefits.

The health benefits of pumpkin include improving the health of our skin, digestive system, and immune system!Pumpkin is so much more than a charming porch decoration: it’s a nutritious and delicious ingredient for so many delicious fall recipes! If you need extra reasons to fit more pumpkin recipes into your meals this season, take a look at these seven health benefits of pumpkin!

Robust nutrient profile Since pumpkin is often included in more sugary foods like muffins and pie, you might not realize how nutrient-rich it is on its own. Pumpkin is low-calorie and

balanced with fiber, protein, and tons of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, copper, potassium, and more. Have a snack of pumpkin seeds for satiating healthy fats and more plant protein!

Improves digestive health Whether you cook down a pumpkin yourself or buy it pre-cooked and pureed in a can, pumpkin is a high-fiber food, with about 7g per cooked cup. Dietary fiber is crucial for digestive health — not only does it help keep you regular, but it keeps your healthy gut bacteria thriving and controls hunger, which can aid in managing weight.

Helps blood pressure and cholesterol As we just covered, pumpkin is a great source of fiber, and fiber-rich foods are renowned for their ability to promote healthy blood pressure and cholesterol. Plus, since high blood pressure is associated with hearing loss, pumpkin can even help protect your hearing health!

Boosts the immune system Want to avoid those seasonal viruses as the weather gets colder? Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and zinc are some of the best cold and flu fighters around! Since pumpkin contains all of these and more, it’s a very timely fruit to keep around!

Protects your vision We all know that carrots are good for our eyes, but they aren’t the only orange vision-boosters around! Orange foods are rich in carotenoids, including beta-carotene, which our systems convert into vitamin A. This nutrient protects our eyes by keeping our corneas lubricated and supporting a protein called rhodopsin that helps us see in low light. Pumpkin also contains lutein and zeaxanthin, which lower your risk of developing cataracts or macular degeneration!

Wards off chronic diseases A diet rich in nutritious vegetables and fruits like pumpkin can help boost our immunity against short-term diseases, but it can also support our overall health and longevity in the face of long-term chronic illnesses. Antioxidants battle cancer-causing free radicals, while fiber, vitamin C, and potassium can lower your risk of heart disease.

Promotes healthy skin Want to keep your skin healthy and glowing? Pumpkin has plenty of skin-protecting nutrients too! Vitamin A is a heavy lifter here again: beta-carotene can make our skin more naturally sun-resistant, and the sun is a significant cause of aging. Vitamin C is another of pumpkin’s key skin health nutrients, stimulating collagen production and adding more protective antioxidants.

Excited about the health benefits of pumpkin and want to add some more seasonal ingredients to your arsenal? Check out these other healthy fall foods!

NUTRITION, HEALTH AND PEACE OF MIND 3 Keys To Finding Your Balance In today’s world of information overload, its hard to figure out exactly what’s best for your health. Low Carb? No Carb? Low Fat? High Fat? More Protein? Less Protein? And how about all of those exaggerated marketing promises of fantastic results in no time at all, with little or no work? The only results you’re likely to get from them are fantastic disappointment. It’s enough to drive you crazy!

The truth is, there isn’t one particular food type that is the culprit responsible for our society’s weight problem. And solving the problem involves a lot more than following a “fad” diet, or popping a “miracle” pill. In fact, the problem really has nothing to do with the food at all--its US. Too many of us simply do not take responsibility for our own health and well being.

Sure, that doesn’t sound very “sexy”, and its not going to sell millions of dollars worth of diet gimmicks, but it’s the cold, hard truth. Being healthy takes hard work and commitment, but that doesn’t mean it has to be difficult, boring or something to dread. The first step to a happier, healthier you is changing your attitude about food.

So much of today’s media and advertising labels foods as “good” or “bad”, or tells us to eat “this” and not “that.” The real answer to the problem can be summed up in one word: BALANCE. Your diet should be inclusive not restrictive. After all, can we really expect to be motivated or excited about our diet when we are told what we should or shouldn’t eat, because its too “this” or too “that”?

Here are a few tips to help you achieve more balance, health, satisfaction and peace of mind with your dietary habits.

1) Instead of focusing on the negatives--low-carbs, low fat, etc.--focus on the real benefit of these products, like high-fiber and carbohydrates--our body’s main source of energy for all the working organs, muscles and most importantly the brain. Choose products for HIGH FIBER not low-carb.

2) Fat is definitely needed for the body to function properly. It aids in immunity, maintaining healthy skin, and helps in keeping arteries strong. The kind of fat you take in the most in your day determines how it will help your body. A low-fat diet or moderate-fat diet with predominantly saturated fat as your main source will not have the benefits listed above. The majority of these low-fat, low-carb packaged products contain predominantly saturated fats. You may be eating low-fat, low-carb, but you may not be eating for health.

3) High Protein. Enough already!!! We, as a population, get too much protein to begin with. Gram for gram, protein and carbohydrate have the same amount of calories. Eating more of one and less of the other is not going to make or break your weight loss goals. It also doesn’t mean that you are eating for health. Depending on the protein sources, you may still be eating more saturated fat. Also, by eating more protein and not enough carbohydrate, the body has to actually convert protein into glycogen for the body to use. This puts a great deal of stress on the kidneys and liver, which can be very detrimental in the long run. In addition to that, more carbohydrate and less protein, or less carbohydrate and more protein in a day can still lead to weight gain.

A calorie is a calorie. Depending where the focus of your calories comes from and the amount of calories you take in in general, determines your weight and more importantly, your health. What you do today can determine how you feel tomorrow.

In a society so consumed with image and anti-aging, you and your choices are your best defense for disease and your key to longevity and preventative health. Do yourself a favor, choose balance in your diet and choose health.

MDs Offer Tips to Protect Your Vision at Every Age Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live. ~Jim Rohn

By Carolyn Vescio & Cheryl Dejewski Did you know that a human embryo’s eyes begin to develop at week seven? By week 28, a baby’s eyelids are formed and partially open. And, as soon as he or she is welcomed into the world, they will begin taking in vast amounts of visual information. While much of what happens to a person’s eyes over the course of a lifetime is dictated by genetics, there are many steps that can be taken to protect your vision as you age.

Childhood At birth, an infant’s eyes are checked as part of a comprehensive newborn exam.

A baby’s eyes should also be evaluated by his or her pediatrician at six months of age and between the ages of three and four. The doctor will confirm proper development and alignment of the eyes to rule out strabismus (commonly called “crossed eyes,” a condition where the eyes look in different directions) and amblyopia (also known as “lazy eye,” a condition in which vision develops properly in one eye but not the other). Any unusual findings should prompt an immediate referral to an ophthalmologist or optometrist.

Since up to 80 percent of learning occurs visually, parents should schedule an eye exam for their child prior to entering kindergarten. The most common eye problem found during these exams is myopia (or, “nearsightedness”)—the inability to see letters or objects at a distance.

As children become more active in sports and other activities, injury prevention becomes increasingly important. Be sure to buy toys that are age appropriate and avoid those that fly or shoot. And, be certain to enforce (and model yourself) the use of proper eye protection, such as safety glasses, swim goggles, sunglasses and hats.

Finding and removing hazards from a child’s environment and providing proper supervision can go a long way in protecting his or her vision. Be sure to keep sharp objects out of reach, lock up poisonous chemicals (like cleaning solutions), and make sure play areas are safe from hard sharp edges. If your child does sustain an eye injury, seek immediate medical attention.

In Your 20s People in their 20s need to be mindful of many of the common sense things they were told to do as children, such as using proper sun protection. “Ultraviolet (UV) rays can burn your cornea, which is the clear outer layer of your eye,” notes Mark Freedman, MD, senior partner at Eye Care Specialists, one of the state’s leading ophthalmology practices. “UV rays can also lead to the development of cataracts (a clouding of the natural lens inside the eye), and age-related macular degeneration or AMD, (an eye condition in which the specialized area of the retina responsible for sharp central vision and color discrimination is damaged). Make sure to wear lenses that are rated to block out 99%-100% of UVA and UVB light. A dark lens does not automatically mean you are getting proper UV protection.”

Safety glasses should be used when working in a hazardous environment, doing activities like wood- or metal-working, and when participating in sports, such as basketball, soccer or skiing. If you wear contact lenses, remember that proper handling, cleaning, storing and wearing habits are essential. Do not sleep with your contact lenses in. If you develop an eye infection (signs include redness, burning or excessive tearing), remove your contact lenses and discontinue use until you see your eye doctor.

“One of the most important things you can do for your eyes, as well as your overall health, is to not smoke. Smoking has been proven to increase the risk and severity of AMD, which is the leading cause of central vision blindness in older Americans, by up to 3-4 times. Smoking has also been linked to cataract development and dry eye disease,” adds Freedman, who is also a continuing education instructor for local VISION>>page 18

• Don’t ignore or dismiss the fears: Even though you can’t let it get to you, we do recommend giving the person with Alzheimer’s the opportunity to voice their concerns and trying to understand that reality.

Try to be reassuring, without arguing with them or trying to tell them that they’re wrong.

• Take a Detour: Try to change the subject or the activity if it seems like it’s beginning to cause problems. For example, if you are trying to help your mother get rid of items and she thinks you are taking her things, pick up something nearby (like a photo album or a cherished memento) and ask her questions about it.

• Two (or four or six) are better than one: You can’t exactly go out and purchase multiple heirlooms or high-end items, but for the little things that tend to get lost or mislaid (reading glasses, slippers, wallets) consider getting few clones. This is especially helpful if your senior immediately assumes that something he’s lost has been stolen.

Rightsizing “Waiving the magic wand” When it comes to moving, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a magic wand to make things simple? Your favorite furniture and boxes would reappear at your new apartment to be placed and unpacked. Anyone who has moved before knows the process can be overwhelming, and many people dread it. The following suggestions can help you work some “moving magic”—and even enjoy—an upcoming move.

First, come to terms with the fact that you are moving and look at this transition as another chapter in your life. Try to enjoy the process by bringing laughter and fun into it. As a result, you will experience more energy. Although you may be familiar with the term “downsizing,” decide instead to think about your new adventure as “rightsizing.” If you have lived in your home for forty or fifty years, you now have to deal with forty or fifty years of accumulated possessions. Perhaps the kids have moved out and now you are an empty nester. The stairs may be too hard to climb or the yard may seem too big to care for. Whatever your situation, you may be overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn for help in lightening your load. This situation is familiar to us at Universal Services, as we are often greeted by customers in tears.

These emotions are normal; take a deep breath and embrace the moment. Once you are committed to moving, the next step is to begin your rightsizing process. Remember that “the key to a successful move and rightsizing is organization.” As you begin, start with a room and finish it. As you sort, utilize Universal Services’ method, known as “Five Homes for Everything You Own.” Your New Home: Items to keep. Obtain the floor plan for the place you are moving into. Think carefully about the items you are taking and if they will fit into your new space. Take only furniture that will fit the scale of each room. Doing so will help you realize how much space you truly have available for other furniture.

Family and Friends: Items to give away. Organize a family get together and explain to your children why you collected certain items to help them understand their sentimental value. If a family member commits to take an item, make sure that you set a date for that person to collect the item.

Sales: Items to sell. The furniture in your current home may not all fit in your new residence. Consider taking any furniture you decide not to keep to a consignment shop. Another option is to consult with a specialist to conduct an estate sale. Remember that most estate sale companies require at least five thousand dollars’ worth of inventory to conduct an estate sale.

Charities & Thrift Stores: Items to donate. As you sort through your belongings there will be a number of items that are too good to throw away but that might serve a purpose for someone in need. As you evaluate various items in your home, ask yourself: “Have I used it this year”? If not, get rid of it. Many charities such as the Homeless Veterans, Salvation Army and homeless shelters would be grateful for your donations.

Garbage: Items to dispose of. Raised by parents who lived during the depression, many Baby Boomers have difficulty trying to throw things away. Keep in mind that when rightsizing, you may simply have to discard some things if they have no use to you or anyone else.

The following tips can be helpful: As your moving date gets closer, check expiration dates on food and try to use the food you have.

If you are having an estate sale, an estate sale specialist should be able to decide which items are consignable and which items should be donated.

Make a checklist of newspaper and utility companies that you need to call to request service termination or disconnection.

Complete an address change card at the post office.

Hire a senior move manager to coordinate all phases of your move.

Hire professional packers and movers.

If you are doing the packing yourself, obtain packing materials two to three weeks before your move.

Mark boxes with room name and contents.

Lastly, consider that a successful move can often be assured by hiring a professional and ethical moving company with experience. Universal Services has helped seniors in all phases of moving for over two decades by providing rightsizing, organizing, packing, moving and unpacking services. They also offer a consignment shop option that allows their clients to sell items which do not fit in their new homes or retirement communities.

WHAT CONTROLS YOUR BREATHING? A respiratory control center at the base of your brain controls your breathing. This center sends ongoing signals down your spine and to the muscles involved in breathing.

These signals ensure your breathing muscles contract (tighten) and relax regularly. This allows your breathing to happen automatically, without you being aware of it.

To a limited degree, you can change your breathing rate, such as by breathing faster or holding your breath. Your emotions also can change your breathing. For example, being scared or angry can affect your breathing pattern.

Your breathing will change depending on how active you are and the condition of the air around you. For example,

you need to breathe more often when you do physical activity. In contrast, your body needs to restrict how much air you breathe if the air contains irritants or toxins.

To adjust your breathing to changing needs, your body has many sensors in your brain, blood vessels, muscles, and lungs.

Sensors in the brain and in two major blood vessels (the carotid (ka-ROT-id) artery and the aorta) detect carbon dioxide or oxygen levels in your blood and change your breathing rate as needed.

Sensors in the airways detect lung irritants. The sensors can trigger sneezing or coughing. In people who have asthma, the sensors may cause the muscles around the airways in the lungs to contract. This makes the airways smaller.

Sensors in the alveoli (air sacs) can detect fluid buildup in the lung tissues.

These sensors are thought to trigger rapid, shallow breathing.

Sensors in your joints and muscles detect movement of your arms or legs.

These sensors may play a role in increasing your breathing rate when you’re physically active.

A Success Story...

Henry Shearrill is a 74 year old gentleman who suffered a cerebral vascular accident (CVA), diag-nosed with pneumonia and due to additional health complications had respiratory failure and under-gone a tracheostomy. Mr. Shearrill was receiving care from another local facility and was ultimately transferred to Wellspring of Milwaukee, where his plan of care was reviewed under the direction of consulting Pulmonologist, Dr. Abbas Ali. Mr. Shearrill was approaching a year from his initial incident in having a tracheostomy. Dr. Ali’s goal was to follow a weaning protocol by decreasing the use of oxygen, along with the safe removal oftrach. Mr. Shearrill also received multiple therapies to include physical, occupational and speech therapy to ensure safety in food consumption as well as increasing his strength to return home.

stay balanced during this time of year

...staying balanced means being aware of how the changing external environment is affecting your internal environment and making appropriate adjustments.

From the Ayurvedic perspective, staying balanced means being aware of how the changing external environment is affecting your internal environment and making appropriate adjustments.

An important aspect of this is knowing how and when to make lifestyle and diet modifications during the different seasons on the year.

In Ayurveda, each season is similar to one of the three life forces or doshas in the body. In Wisconsin, as well as most part of the central United States, autumn and early winter with its cooler, dry and windy weather is considered the vata season. To stay balanced during this time of year, you need to be aware of what the signs of imbalance are and what you can do to decrease the excess vata energies in order to restore balance.

Ayurveda recognizes the symptoms you experience as cues from your bodymind system telling you that something isn’t right and that your attention and action is required. Each dosha has a different set of signs or symptoms which let you know it is out of balance. When the vata life force rises beyond its normal balance, you may experience symptoms such as: • Digestive problems such as gas, bloating, constipation, and a fluctuating appetite • Sleep disruptions including the different variations of insomnia • Tension headaches, fatigue and intolerance to cold

• Increased dryness in the skin, nails, and hair • Increased anxiety, worry, fear and overwhelm • Unexplained weight loss or difficulty gaining weight To counter these symptoms as well as to prevent vata-related symptoms from even becoming a problem, you can make simple adjustments in your diet and lifestyle. By far the most important tool to restore balance through lifestyle is to increase regular, stable routines, especially around eating and sleeping.

Having structure is very grounding and supportive for vata. The routines don’t have to be rigidly exact but a good example would be to try to eat meals around the same time within an hour – so lunch between 11:30-12:30. Other simple changes can include eating more cooked, warm and moderately spiced foods; drink warm liquids instead of cold or iced drinks; create daily time for quiet, relaxation, decompression and rest; stay warm in general by dressing appropriately for the cold, enjoy warm baths and avoid cold drafts and winds.

VISION<<page 11 physicians.

In Your 30s Most of us are still lucky enough to have healthy eyes when we reach our 30s, however, the strains of everyday life can take a toll on how our eyes feel. If you are on a computer much of the day, you may notice eye fatigue, difficulty focusing and discomfort. “Computer monitors don’t actually damage vision, but they might cause eye strain,” says Daniel Ferguson, MD, an eye care specialist who sees patients from all walks of life at several locations in the Milwaukee area. “Rearranging your workstation, frequently staring away from the screen, blinking more often, and/or getting proper glasses can often relieve these symptoms. Selecting a high-resolution, anti-glare computer screen and adjusting the text size, contrast, and brightness settings can also improve readability and visual comfort.”

For women, hormonal fluctuations can affect vision. While this is usually temporary and nothing to worry about, you should discuss any changes with your eye care specialist. Pregnant women may experience dry eyes, puffy eyelids, and migraine headaches that cause light sensitivity.

Menopause, birth control pills, and hormone replacement therapy can also affect the moisture and comfort of your eyes. As described later, there are treatment options for dry eye problems.

With family, career and other obligations, it can be challenging to get the rest you need. A good night’s sleep is not only good for your overall health; it can also give you a refreshed “outlook” on the day.

In Your 40s As you approach your mid-forties, you may develop “presbyopia”—an age-related decreased ability to focus on near objects that is typically corrected with the use of reading glasses or bifocal lenses.

If you haven’t already, it is a good idea to have a baseline dilated eye exam performed now and every 1-2 years thereafter to examine the overall health of your eyes and check for any developing problems such as glaucoma (a sightthreatening condition typically related to abnormally high fluid pressure inside the eye) and the previously mentioned AMD. A visit to the eye doctor is essential if you have diabetes to check for signs of diabetic retinopathy, a complication of high blood sugar levels that damages the blood vessels in the retina and can cause blurring of vision and permanent visual impairment. Keeping blood sugar under control and scheduling regular eye exams with an eye care specialist are two of the best means of protection.

“When treatment is necessary, we have been very pleased with the success of medications (like Avastin, Eylea and Lucentis) that can be painlessly injected 18 MHL NOVEMBER 2021

directly into the eye to decrease leakage from blood vessels and decrease the growth of new abnormal vessels—thus staving off progression of the disease,” states Brett Rhode, Head of Ophthalmology at Aurora Sinai Medical Center and a partner at Eye Care Specialists private practice. “We have seen some amazing results, including not only stabilization of vision, but in some cases, improvement in sight.”

In Your 50s and beyond In addition to glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and AMD, it is important to be monitored for signs of cataract development. “A cataract is a gradual, painless clouding of the eye’s natural lens located behind the pupil,” explains Daniel Paskowitz, MD a skilled ophthalmologist with credentials from both Harvard and Johns Hopkins. “As the clouding advances, it can blur and glare vision to the point of interfering with day-to-day functioning. This clouding may take years or just months to progress.” Six out of 10 people over age 60, and almost everyone over age 80 has or has had a cataract.

The only effective treatment is to make an opening in the eye, surgically remove the cloudy lens (cataract), and replace it with an intraocular lens implant to once again focus light rays onto the retina.

Dry eye disease can worsen with age due to decreased tear production. Your eye care specialist can conduct several tests to make an accurate diagnosis and determine which treatment method is best for you, including over-the-counter artificial tears, punctual plugs, prescription eye drops (such as Restasis, Xiidra and Cequa), or procedures/strategies to alleviate oil gland blockage (such as warm compresses, eye masks, Lipiflow, etc.).

Be Good To Yourself—At Every Age “Sight-robbing conditions like AMD, cataracts, diabetes and glaucoma often develop gradually and painlessly, and good vision in one eye can often mask problems in the other. A comprehensive eye exam is the only way to accurately detect these disorders,” says eye care specialist and continuing education lecturer Michael Raciti, MD. He recommends the following steps to protect vision: • Schedule regular dilated eye exams (every 2 years after age 50).

• If you notice a problem with your vision (especially straight lines appearing wavy or blind or dark spots) don’t ignore it.

• Wear sunglasses and hats with brims.

UV-light exposure has been linked to AMD and cataracts.

• Have a blood sugar test every 3 years after age 45. Diabetes increases the risk of eye conditions, including cataracts and glaucoma.

• Don’t smoke. It increases the risk of AMD (3-4 times) and other eye diseases.

What’s the Deal With Pink Salt During Intermittent Fasting?

By Marygrace Taylor Some people swear that a pinch of pink Himalayan salt takes away hunger during fasting.

Himalayan pink salt and intermittent fasting have both been trendy over the last few years, and now the two are colliding. There’s more and more chatter online about taking pink salt to help curb hunger during intermittent fasting. But does it actually work?

The answer depends on who you ask.

While some fans of intermittent fasting say a mid-fast snack of plain salt keeps stomach rumbles at bay, most nutrition experts disagree. Here’s a look at the debate and whether pink salt is worth trying during your fast.

What Is Pink Salt, Anyway?

Himalayan pink salt is a type of salt mined from the Salt Range mountains in the Himalayas. The salt gets its peachy pink tint from a concentration of beneficial minerals.

It’s these minerals that make pink salt so popular in certain wellness circles. Compared to table salt, pink salt has higher levels of calcium, potassium, magnesium and iron as well as slightly less sodium, according to a February 2011 analysis in the ​Journal of Sensory Studies.​ Can Pink Salt Help With Fasting?

Fasting for long periods can potentially cause the body to lose water and electrolytes, particularly sodium, says Lisa R. Young, PhD, RDN, adjunct professor of nutrition at New York University.

Proponents of intermittent fasting say that this water and electrolyte loss can trigger increased thirst, as well as symptoms like low energy, cravings and feeling hungrier than usual. The thinking goes that replacing these lost electrolytes with extra salt can curb those side effects and help a person on a fast feel less hunger.

“When the hunger pangs come, I take pink Himalayan salt and the hunger immediately goes away. I don’t think I’d be able to fast as long without the salt,” writes one Reddit user.

Some nutrition experts say this makes

sense. “Supplementing with salt helps maintain adequate blood volume and maintain cellular hydration, which can help minimize hunger,” explains Kayla Girgen, RD, LD, a dietitian based in St. Joseph, Minnesota, who practices intermittent fasting.

But why pink salt, specifically? It comes back to those extra minerals.

Similar to claims of maple syrup or coconut sugar being more nutritious than white sugar, some proponents see pink salt as “mineral-rich,” and therefore, a healthier source of sodium compared to plain table salt. But in reality, the added benefits are very, very slight, Young notes. Girgen agrees: “The minerals are really just a bonus,” she says.

Should I Take It? Lots of enthusiastic intermittent fasters say that supplementing with pink salt helps curb their hunger so they can fast longer. But for now, there’s no quality evidence to back this up.

While the body loses some amount of sodium on a short fast, the loss isn’t thought to be enough to cause side effects — hunger or otherwise — for most people.

“Low sodium is not a concern for someone fasting 12 to 16 hours per day,” says North Carolina-based dietitian Elizabeth Barnes, RDN. “If the body was so sensitive that it couldn’t go 16 hours without extra sodium from pink salt, the human population would have died out long ago.”

Young agrees: As long as you’re drinking enough water throughout the day and replenishing your salt when you do eat, the sodium you lose while fasting isn’t a major concern. And having an extra pinch of salt in between meals, “would only impact hunger very slightly,” she says.

What’s more, pink salt isn’t any more likely to squash hunger than regular table salt. Even though it contains slightly higher levels of certain electrolyte minerals, they’re not enough to make a noticeable difference, say Barnes and Young. According to Girgen, “table salt PINK>>page 25

Redefining Health

On Turning 60 With Joy and Gratitude

By Kalpana (Rose) M. Kumar, M.D. In the footsteps of the late cultural anthropologist Angeles Arrien, (1) I want to share some thoughts on aging through the second half of life. As my 60th birthday approaches this year, I have been struck by people’s aghast reactions to my age when I tell them how old I’ll be. My patients younger than 60 appear apologetic or in disbelief that I am ‘so old’, and many seem frightened about my age when they proclaim, “I hope you don’t retire soon.” I tell them that I have no interest in ‘retiring from doing what I love and loving what I do’. It is curious as to how conditioned we are to not embrace aging and to actually fear and loathe it. I have always wondered why this is so in the Western world. For as long as I have lived in the West, this collective attitude towards aging has not changed. Youth is honored, the elderly are invisible and most fight against getting old and passing through sacred gateways that are filled with wisdom and consciousness.

I refuse to relate to myself and my aging process through society’s fearful and disrespectful attitude towards it. I find it lacking in love, wisdom and gratitude.

Now more than ever, our country is suffering from a crisis of character. Dr. Arrien’s perspective is that the second half of life offers us the tremendous possibility to correct this, to heal weakheartedness and recapture courage. This time of life avails to us richness, beauty, texture, depth, integrity, authenticity and character. By the time we are sixty, most of us have survived tremendous suffering and can finally integrate and incorporate the meaning and wisdom we have distilled from the initiations and gateways our suffering has facilitated.

In our culture we have very few models and maps, and no healthy context for aging, in fact there is no cultural guidance to navigate the second half of life.

As people age in our society, they be-

come afraid of their aging process and engage many strategies to not look old and deny the sacred gateways that aging offers. This is not helpful to any of us, as rejecting who we are as we age is the rejection of our natural life process. In fact, the elderly find themselves becoming more invisible as they age. They feel patronized and talked down to and treated as though they are unintelligent and deaf. I hear about these experiences daily from my patients, observe this in society and also in the media’s portrayal of the elderly.

This is an area where I feel I can make a significant contribution (2) (as we all should), as I join the billions in the Western world, who are aging through unmarked gateways with little to no guidance on how to treat and nourish our bodies and psyches to be able to embody the wisdom and grace as well as the ability and desire for mentoring we carry into our older years.

We have a golden invitation to restore and model a depth of character as we age.

The three tasks of the second half of life, (3) according to Dr. Arrien are: 1.How can we mentor and share what we have learned and pass on our wisdom to the younger generations? How can we foster the gifts of others?

2. How can we foster intimacy in our relationships? How can we heal our relationship with ourselves and our True Nature? And, how can we revive intimacy with ourselves and others?

3. How can we foster creativity, remain inspired and continue learning?

How can we teach others how to live and die well?

At the end of the day, we can only fulfill these tasks if we are dedicated to living authentically and choose to depart from societal values and modes of behaving in favor of being who we truly are.

Preventing Type 2 Diabetes….

It’s Never too Late

The risk of developing Type 2 diabetes is higher for those over the age of 45, overweight or with a family history of Diabetes. For years, there has been the general belief that Type 2 Diabetes is an inevitable, progressive disease requiring medications and eventually insulin. However, new research is now certain that we can take measures to reduce risk factors that contribute to the development of diabetes. Additional research found that remission of Type 2 Diabetes is possible as related to weight loss.

This means, even a modest weight loss will reduce the chance of developing Type 2 Diabetes.

For those interested in preventing/reducing their risk of Type 2 Diabetes, the National Diabetes Education Program offers these suggestions: 1) Eat well by choosing healthy foods and reducing portion sizes a. Choose whole grain foods. b. Eat a mixture of colorful fruits and vegetables (half your plate should be vegetables). c. Choose fish and lean meats as protein sources (remember to bake or broil them). d. Drink water instead of fruit juice or carbonated soda pop.

2) Get moving, sit less a. Get off the easy chair! Turn on some music and “dance like nobody is watching.” Just as good… simply stand up. b. Park your car in the back of the parking lot and walk the few extra steps… your body and your car will thank you.

3) Invite family and friends to join you on your quest for better health. a. When bringing items to the pot luck dinner provide fresh fruits or vegetable dishes. b. Enjoy a walk with a friend to the zoo, museum or park.

Many health insurance providers, including Medicare, offer coverage for certain exams, check-ups, and tests for those at high risk for developing Diabetes. Check with your provider to see if you qualify. Finally, learn about programs offered throughout your community that can assist you with your Diabetes prevention plan.

Until next time…. Stay strong, stay healthy, and keep active.

GRATITUDE<<page 25 my aging patients need guidance to make lifestyle choices (4) that foster health in their aging bodies. Habitual (unhealthy) choices normalized by society that carry momentum from earlier years don’t work well for our aging bodies. The unhealthy consequences (5) of these choices result in many of our current co-morbidities that cause tremendous suffering at so many levels. Our society does not value health or consciousness, let alone aging consciously. As our body ages, the many layers of who we are - biochemical, psycho-spiritual and emotional become more sensitive to insult and manifest as symptoms and diseases much faster than when we were younger. It is as if with aging, the instrument of our body becomes more attuned and aligned with choices that support and nourish cellular and psycho-spiritual health.

So, our task is to learn how to reclaim our health as we age, gracefully guiding others to do the same. This is the only way to elevate healthy aging to its highest value.

This is dreadfully neglected in the Western world. It is time we transform this.

So, as I turn 60, I am proud and grateful to be arriving at this sacred threshold of ‘elderhood.’ (6) I for one never want to stop learning and teaching how to move through life with a dedication to integrity and truth, a commitment to health and a deep reverence for my life process.

Mine has been a very difficult life so far, with tremendous periods of suffering, isolation and separation, but where I stand today, I can honestly say that I would not trade any of it for what I have learned from deep suffering. It has left in me a depth of wisdom and deepened and redefined for me the meaning of healthy and authentic love. It has awakened more empathy and compassion in me towards others, and has also added a level of meaning, stripping any superficiality or societally upheld values from my core sense of self. I am deeply grateful for having learned how to align with my True Nature through intensely painful experiences, and to finally feel comfortable having individuated from unhealthy collective norms. My appreciation for the beauty and soulfulness I experience in doing what I love and being who I am, and finally having the ability to choose to participate only in respectful and authentic relationships, is a gift beyond words, a gift earned over the years through difficult and painful gateways.

I have also learned that even when the problems and sorrows of the world seem overwhelming, it is important to remember that in every moment we have a choice to add beauty and kindness to our world, and yes, it does matter. Every bit of it matters, and it makes a profound difference in our life and in the world at large. To choose to live honestly, truthfully and without denial or illusion is a good place to start, yet very hard to do, but it is the only way we can transform our world into a more authentic and honest one. I think deep inside, we all long to live in a world like this.

How to Take Pink Salt During Fasting If you want to give pink salt or table salt a try while intermittent fasting, it’s generally considered safe to do so, says Young. Just be sure to have it in moderation, because consuming too much sodium can raise the risk for high blood pressure.

“How much salt is needed depends on how long a person fasts as well as their eating style or diet,” Girgen says. “A good rule of thumb is to aim for about 2,000 mg, or 1 teaspoon, of salt per day.” (That means your total salt, including from food — not the amount of pink salt you should take.)

Not everyone agrees, though. “I would counsel my patients against taking pink salt as a supplement while intermittent fasting,” Barnes says. She recommends instead that people make an effort to get their electrolytes from food, like potassiumrich potatoes, bananas, prunes, nuts and beans.

Another option for quelling mid-fast hunger? Hot water or bone broth. “Some people find warm fluids more satiating, but this is subjective and comes down to adequate hydration,” Girgen says.

The Bottom Line Supplementing with salt in general isn’t likely to have a big effect on your hunger levels while intermittent fasting, and pink salt probably won’t have more of an effect than regular table salt.

If you want to try it anyway, talk with your doctor about how much sodium is OK to add to your diet before consuming extra salt. This article originally appeared on livestrong.com.

Why is B12 important?

Simply put, B12 is one of the most important vitamins essential to your body. It is responsible for creating DNA, and red blood cells It is vital for your immune system, and is used by every muscle cell in the body(think fat burning).

Know anyone with M.S.(Multiple Sclerosis), B12 helps create the Myelin Sheath that insulates the nerves in the brain. You can think of the brain and the nervous system as a big tangle of wires.

Myelin is the insulation that protects those wires and helps them to conduct messages.

B12 is also critical for energy and for restful sleep. Unlike energy drinks or pills that pick you up for a short time,(and also create extensive damage to your immune and nervous system), B12 regulates the energy cycles of the body. It creates energy from fat and helps you sleep better at night by regulating Melatonin and reducing the stress hormone cortisol.

Let the deficiency go long enough and the brain begins to shrink, than the fun begins…first the memory starts to degrade, than conditions like Alzheimer’s and Dementia take hold. By the time conditions like these develop, it is already too late. The damage is permanent and irreversible. This is why it is so critical to get proper levels of B12. Optimum levels are 1,000 mcg per week.

Why is B12 deficiency so common?

The problem is that your body does not make B12, so it needs to get it through food or supplements…and here lies the problem. Today more than ever food is mass produced, injected with every antibiotic and hormone known to man, ultimately taking nature right out of the equation. Since the majority of red meat is raised off grains, most of the red meat we consume has no viable levels of B12. This is because B12 is formed when plant and animal come together, take away the plants that cows graze on and you get a cow with 0% B12.

Supplements are another loser in this mix, even the sublingual forms. The rate of absorption is less than 1% in most cases. The issue is the stomach. B12 is the hardest vitamin to absorb, it is the only vitamin that has to go through two steps to break down and absorb. As we age our stomach acid weakens and most of us are on some type of medications for heart or stomach issues. Without strong acid in

the stomach, B12 won’t absorb. Most medications also prevent absorption of B12. Moreover, supplement companies are not FDA regulated, they can put whatever they want in the products and you will never know.

Recent government studies have shown that when examined, various supplements contained less than 5% of their active ingredients. Meaning, rather than 100%, you’re getting less than 5%.

The Solution?

The easiest solution I have found to correct this imbalance is to get regular injections of B12. I am a firm believer in this as I take the shots myself. It is the only way to get 100% of what your body needs and the injection itself is fast and painless. The days of big needles are gone, most people say they never even feel it.

And it’s easier than ever to get a shot.

Places like “The B12 Store” at Southridge Mall. What I love is they recognized the need and made it incredibly simple to get a shot. The staff are all friendly and professional, no appointment is necessary, their prices are 1/3 of what most clinics charge, and every time I go I’m in and out within five minutes.

So, next time you or someone you know is complaining about energy, sleep, stress, weight gain; tell them to try a shot of B12.

CORRECTION FROM SEPTEMBER Dr. Roberto Monteagudo & Mr. Tristen Dunn have not at the time the article appeared and are not afflicatied with the B-12 store.

A NOTE FROM THE B-12 Store When I personally started with The B-12 Store in May of 2014 I was hired as an employee and worked at the Southridge location. I lost a total of 115Lbs in just 14 months and my health improved. I immediately wanted everyone to feel as great as I did.

To be able to help others improve their health, mentally and physically is a dream come true. When the opportunity to purchase my store came up I jumped at the chance. Thanks to Lisa & Perry Ruiz for creating this fabulous business, I finally have the career I never thought imaginable.

The truth is in the pudding, our clients love our products. Watching the expansion nationwide and knowing we are a growing franchise as the success stories continue to grow, is icing on the cake. It is truly an honor to represent The B-12 Store!!!”

We are going to be offering FREE B12 Shots with every package purchased throughout the holiday season, So if you purchased 4 B12 Shots or 4 lipo or 4 of any shot you will receive 4 free B12’s. We also offer a Tri Immunity Shot that contains Zinc, Vitamin C and Glutathione. 3 for $150 normally $75 each and Nad+ injections 3 for $150 normally $75 Each

RECOGNIZING DIFFERENCES IN AN AGING PARENTS BEHAVIOR It may be difficult to notice differences in behavior when you don’t live close to a family member. A family member may withdraw from activities, forget to take medication, or stop taking care of themselves or their home. These signs may seem small, but they are crucial for an aging parent or relative’s safety and well-being. With the person’s permission, you could contact people who see the person regularly—neighbors, friends, doctors, or local relatives, for example—and ask them to call you with any concerns. You might also ask if you can check in with them periodically. Look for safety issues and at the overall condition of the home, and try to determine the older person’s mood and general health status. Sometimes people confuse depression in older people with normal aging. A depressed older person might brighten up for a phone call or short visit, but it is harder to hide serious mood problems during an extended visit.

What to Do When an Aging Parent Needs Help When you notice signs that your aging parent or relative needs help, it is important

ALL YOU COULD EVER WANT, RIGHT HERE.

to know what steps to take next. Some signs may require a simple fix, like needing new glasses or a new prescription. But other times, you may need to provide more help. When you visit, look around the home for possible trouble areas. If you can’t fix everything during your visit, see if you can arrange with someone else to help finish.

Having to make important healthcare decisions for an aging parent can be hard on both family members and caregivers. Be sure to voice your concerns with your family member and explain to them why you are feeling this way. Your first consideration should be to try to fulfill the wishes of you parents wherever possible. If not, try to make similar decisions to ones they may have made in the past. This way, you can ensure you are trying to do what is in the best interest for your parent. It is also handy to have a list of local resources in their area to contact if you need to.

In some cases, you may be in the position of having to help your parent make difficult healthcare decisions. If a parent is sick, it is important that they assign a power of attorney for health care to allow someone to act on their behalf in medical situations.

As a caregiver, it’s important that you care for yourself as you care for your loved one. The Caregiver Connection of Ozaukee County helps caregivers through support, education and advocacy.

Because caregivers are at risk for increased health problems due to the physical strain, increased emotional stress, and financial hardships that often come with being a caregiver, the Caregiver Connection can help.

Visit their website at ozccc.org The things that you do which make you a caregiver often seem like the regular tasks you do as a spouse, friend, son or daughter, and you don’t think of yourself as a caregiver. But if you don’t recognize that you are a caregiver, you may fail to recognize the impact on your health and well-being that caregiving demands and responsibilities can have.

The Caregiver Connection of Ozaukee County is affiliated with the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Ozaukee County (ADRC). The ADRC functions as a first stop/one stop source of information and assistance for older adults, adults with disabilities, their families, friends and caregiver by linking them with resources and services that enable them to live as independently as possible.

For caregiver resources and other resources for the elderly in the county, assistance with benefits and information on long term care options and publicly funded long-term care programs and services, contact the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Ozaukee County at 262-284-8120 or visit the Caregiver Connection website at ozccc.org

Everyone needs to socialize. Spending time with friends isn’t just a good way to keep in touch: Studies show that making and maintaining friendships can have significant positive effects on your mental and physical health. Having a strong support network can help reduce stress, improve confidence and even encourage you to make healthier lifestyle choices. One study even found that regularly socializing was as effective for reducing rates of depression in seniors as regular exercise. Hanging out can be as important to active senior living as hitting the gym.

Given how busy schedules become, many adults find it hard to maintain friendships at the level they would like.

A great way to stay connected with those closest to you is to take the initiative and invite your friends over for a dinner party. Dinner parties provide a perfect way to facilitate conversation and connection, and regularly scheduling them gives you the opportunity to see your friends on a somewhat regular basis. If you meet once every week or two, you don’t have to worry about losing touch: you know you’ll see them soon.

Who to invite How you choose the guests at your dinner party comes down to what kind of get-together you want to have. Generally speaking, the fewer people you invite, the more time you’ll get to spend with your guests.

That said, as your numbers decrease, the bonds between people need to be stronger: a dinner party of four needs all four people to be compatible for conversation to flow naturally. Six to eight guests is a good number for keeping everyone talking and preventing the natural ebb and flow of conversation to lead to awkward silences. If you invite more people than eight, you might consider reaching out to guests you trust and asking them to bring a course for the meal. Cooking for a large group can be exhausting, and you want to be able to

enjoy your own party.

What to serve A traditional dinner party involves an appetizer, main course and dessert, but really it is up to you! If you do include appetizers, it’s better to have too few than too many. Your main course should be the focus of the dinner, so you don’t want people filling up on carrot sticks.

For the main course, prepare a dish that doesn’t require a lot of active cooking so that you can mingle with guests during your party, and pick something you’ve made before. Use desserts to balance the meal: if your main course was light, you can go for a rich dessert like cheesecake.

If your guests have just eaten something heavy, a fruit dish or sorbet is the way to go.

Party themes For your first dinner party, you’ll want to keep it simple. As you have more parties, you can begin setting a theme for each, encouraging guests to dress up or bring dishes that fit the evening. Themes could be linked to holidays, or you could draw inspiration from a book or movie.

Don’t be afraid to have something silly, and let your theme guide your plan for the night. This way each dinner party is different, and you avoid having the same conversations each time you meet up.

General tips • When you’re hosting a dinner party, be sure to talk to guests about dietary concerns or allergies.

• Don’t make a new dish for the first time on party night.

• Be mindful of food safety when leaving out spreads or dressings, and make sure anything that can spoil is kept cold.

• If you have music on, be sure to keep it at a low volume to foster great conversation, particularly if you have a guest with hearing loss.

• You don’t have to stay indoors: If the weather is nice, head to the patio or a nearby park.

EXERCISES TO HELP YOU STAND TALLER

By Kelly Gonzalez Suffering from a permanent slouch?

You’re not alone. Poor posture has become more prevalent since many people find themselves seated in front of a computer all day. And it’s not doing us any favors. More than 80 percent of Americans suffer from back problems at some point in their lives, according to the National Institutes of Health.

The good news is that there are things you can do to improve your posture and help prevent chronic low back pain — most of them involving movement. “The best posture is a variety of postures,” says Justin Ternes, a physical therapist in San Diego, California. “The worst posture is your default posture or the posture you’re in the longest.

If you’re seated for an extended period of time, getting up and moving every 30, 60 or at least every 90 minutes is vital.

During that time, you can incorporate one (or all) of the six exercises below to help you stand taller and feel better.

Mountain Pose (Tadasana) The best way to improve your posture?

Practicing good posture. “The standing postures in yoga such as Tadasana teach people how to stand and build a strong foundation,” says yoga teacher Josh Vincent. This pose brings awareness to the weight distribution in your feet, awakens your lower legs and strengthens the arches of the feet — all of which help train your body to stand taller.

Start with your feet hip-width apart.

Shift the weight into your heels. Lift and spread your toes.

Lift the inner arches of your feet as you wake up the muscles of your lower legs. Set the toes down as you keep the activation through the arches of your feet. Evenly distribute your weight and press into all four corners of your feet.

Firm your quadriceps to feel a slight lift in the knee caps.

Lengthen your tailbone toward the floor as you draw your navel in toward your spine.

Lift your breastbone and widen across your collarbones as the shoulders release back and down.

Let your arms hang by your sides with palms forward.

Draw your chin slightly in toward your chest to feel a lengthening through your cervical spine.

Reach the crown of your head up toward the sky.

Spinal Wave “To increase pain-free range of motion, you can move further into poor posture (shoulders rounded forward and slouching) and come back upright by using the erector spinal muscles to pull you back upright,” says Ternes. After the push and pull of spinal flexion and extension, allow your body to fall into an upright position somewhere in between.

From either seated or standing, roll into spinal flexion, rounding your back forward.

Actively rise up into spinal extension, arching slightly backward.

Repeat 5 to 10 times.

When you’re sitting and slouched forward, the diaphragm (your main respiratory muscle) isn’t in the best position for optimal function. So sit up tall and practice diaphragmatic breathing (aka belly breathing). Focusing on your breath will also bring awareness to your posture.

Start either seated, lying on your back or standing and place one hand on your lower abdomen and the other on your chest.

Breathe into your belly so the lower hand rises first as you inhale.

Practice belly breathing for two to five minutes a few times a day.

Tip Notice if your shoulders rise and fall with your breath. Often times, people overuse these secondary respiratory muscles instead of using the diaphragm to breathe fully.

Locust Pose (Salabhasana) Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase, STAND>>page 37

TECHNOLOGY TIPS FOR SENIORS One technology tip for seniors is to choose strong passwords when setting up accounts online.While technology use is increasing across the generations, it’s especially soaring among older adults. A recent Pew Research study showed a 55% increase in the number of seniors using the internet over the last 20 years, and 50% have broadband at home – for the first time. While technology can be incredibly helpful in our daily lives, its ever-changing nature can make it a bit daunting. Here are a few simple technology tips for seniors to become more tech-savvy when using the internet, smartphones, email, and social media.

Internet 1. Choose strong passwords For every website or account with a login, choose a unique password that only you would know. Use special characters and symbols, and consider using longer words strung together. Don’t send your password information by email or social media and avoid entering your password unless you recognize the website you are visiting.

Find more tips on picking secure passwords here.

2. When in doubt, Google it Interested in learning more about an event or company online? You don’t need to know their web address – you can use Google to search for it. Google is the mostused search engine that provides safe and trusted answers to any question you may have online. It can help you order groceries, look up the latest news, and troubleshoot any technical issues you may face during your online experience.

3. Keep your antivirus software up to date If you don’t already have antivirus software installed on your computer, consider downloading it. There are many free options available that can protect your device from hackers or malicious viruses and software. These tools run in the background on your computer, so you don’t have to do anything more than occasionally update them. You will then be able to browse the internet while feeling a little more secure.

Smartphones 4. Change your settings for easy reading If you feel like the text size on the screen of your smartphone is too small, you can change your settings to increase the text size and adjust the screen brightness.

Find out how to change them here.

5. Add contacts for family and friends Your phone allows you to store saved contact information for your family and friends so you no longer have to type in or remember each individual’s phone number. Read through these instructions on how to add a contact to your phone, whether you use an Android or an iPhone.

6. Use a captioned telephone If you can’t hear on your smartphone, consider a CapTel captioned telephone to help stay in touch with the people you care about. CapTel phones show captions of everything the caller says, to help you catch every word.

Email 7. Don’t reply to emails from people you don’t know Although it isn’t pleasant to think about, there are dangerous scammers out there who send alluring emails to try to steal personal information. You can steer clear of these cyber criminals by choosing not to open or reply to any emails from people you don’t know. Remember: if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

8. Be careful when you click on a link or attachment Before you click on a link in an email or download an attachment, make sure you confirm the identity of the sender. If the email came from someone you know, it is likely safe to open the link or attachment. However, it’s always best to use caution when handling anything unknown on the internet.

you some advice that might help prevent some of these symptoms from occurring, or at least lower the frequency.

These tips are not proven treatments but are suggestions based on an accumulation of my 8 years of experience and feedback from clients.

As the weather gets colder and the wind starts to get more penetrating it will of course make your muscles colder. Even when wearing a winter coat your neck can be exposed to wind and low temperatures. This will cause your shoulders to rise up to guard your neck and attempt to block the wind. Now you’re tensing your neck muscles. A tense neck can lead to headaches and neck pain. The simplest way to combat that is with a scarf. Pretty obvious for when you are outside, but luckily for women scarves are now fashionable to wear inside as well. Take advantage of this.

Keeping your neck warm while both in and out of buildings is a great way to prevent your headaches from getting worse during the winter months. Also high collared coats are great as well as turtlenecks. You really want to protect the back of your neck and shoulders from the wind. Now everyone has an excuse to add to the winter wardrobe. Of course if the tension and headaches persist than it might good an idea to call a massage therapist and make an appointment.

More than a few times clients have come in for an appointment and informed me that they are getting cramps in their calves late at night. I tell them it’s because they are sleeping on their back and using a heavy comforter or quilt to keep them warm.

Then they are wondering how I know so much about them when they are sleeping.

It’s nothing more than some simple logic. For one, the weather got colder and obviously they are going to put something heavier and warmer on the bed. The other is that when you sleep on your back your feet are facing up. The heavy blanket is now pressing against their toes.

Since most people don’t have the flexibility of a ballet dancer they can’t point their toes to make their feet flat. So the pushing against the feet causes the muscles in the front of the leg to engage to prevent the feet from overstretching. When those muscles are activated, the muscle that does the opposite action starts to pull too to keep the foot motionless. The calf muscle is much stronger then the shin muscle and will fatigue faster and may then start to cramp. Again this is not proven, but is a reasonable explanation for cramping leg muscles at night. The simplest way to prevent cramping in this event is to sleep on your side, use a lighter blanket down by your feet, or stack pillows up high enough to lift the blanket off of your toes. Of course there can be many other causes for the cramping such as dehydration or lack of potassium too. Again these are just some friendly suggestions to those that get these symptoms during the cold months. We have a long winter ahead of us and I prefer you spend it as pain free as possible.

People with hearing loss have to deal with adapting life with hearing aids, and it can be even more difficult when negative stereotypes and stigmas get in the way. In fact, people wait an average of seven years before getting hearing aids after noticing their hearing loss. Being hard of hearing poses many challenges for those who experience it, and it can greatly affect their everyday lives. Perceptions of hearing loss is also associated with old age, but people of all ages, even children, have to deal with the loss of hearing.

Where did the stigma come from?

Historically, hearing loss has been seen as an ailment, and some even thought it was a disability because children who had hearing loss had trouble learning. According to the Journal of Medical Professionals with Hearing Losses, people viewed the deaf and hard of hearing “with a mixture of fear, scorn, distaste, misunderstanding and pity.” Many were under the misconception that those with hearing loss didn’t have the capacity to be educated, and it wasn’t until the mid-1700s that people began considering that youth with hearing loss could in fact learn.

What many people don’t know is that hearing loss can affect anyone, and the issue can be very detrimental to a person’s self esteem. Someone with hearing loss can become distant from family and friends because they have trouble comprehending conversations, and they may even be looked down upon by others.

Addressing the stigma To overcome social stigma, you must first be an advocate for yourself. Don’t be afraid to let others know about your hearing loss. Hiding the situation can make it worse because others may think you aren’t paying attention to conversations. It might take some time before you address your situation as hearing loss, but when you decide to address the situation, don’t be afraid to discuss it with

others. Follow these tips to talk about your hearing loss with loved ones: • Begin by informing them of the condition. Tell them how you feel, and what the most challenging aspect of hearing loss may be. This is your chance to be an open book.

• Ask them to come with you to an audiologist appointment or follow-up visit so that they can learn about hearing loss as well.

• Tell them what they can do to help the situation. For example, finding a quiet place in a restaurant will make it easier for you to hear versus a loud table in the middle of the establishment. Similarly, you might ask them to always look at you while speaking and to emphasize hand gestures and facial expressions.

Technological advances Many people who have negative views of hearing loss may not understand that this doesn’t mean you will be wearing bulky devices. Modern day hearing aids make it easier to hear with background noise, to hear in auditorium or lecture hall settings and to maintain your pre-hearing aids lifestyle to its fullest. Whether you enjoy going out to the theater or love hiking, hearing aids have settings and features that make this possible.

Today, hearing aids can go virtually unnoticed, as some are so small that they fit all the way into the ear canal. This in itself helps to decrease the negative connotation of the issue because people can go about their daily lives without others even noticing that they are wearing hearing aids. Additionally, settings and features like Bluetooth and telecoils help to make hearing aids a simple part of daily life. Most hearing aid adjustments can be made on a cellular phone now.

Overcoming the stigma As people are getting educated on the condition, more people are becoming accepting and conscious of hearing

• Eat a diet high in healthy nutrients (vitamins, minerals and antioxidants) and low in fat and sugar. Ask your eye care specialist if and what supplements may be beneficial.

STRESS<<PAGE 6 side note, social media was intended to connect us to one another, but sometimes it can have the paradoxical effect of causing disconnection and stressful isolation.

5. Make an Appointment with Yourself: We tend to prioritize what we need to do for others and put ourselves at the end of the line. But you cannot take care of others unless you take care of yourself. Whether it is making time for a long relaxing bath, reading a good book, or catching up with a friend, make sure you schedule time each day that is just for you. A morning meditation can also be a powerful way to start the day. Pick a quiet spot in your house and sit comfortably upright with a straight spine.

Focus on your breath coming in and out through your nose. As stressful thoughts come to you, let them wash away like the waves in an ocean.

It is also important to make this “you” time sacred, just as you would a doctor’s appointment or work meeting and try not to cancel it.

Above all, it is also important to practice gratitude. Simply stopping to be thankful for nature and the love of people around you can change your perspective very quickly. When you feel stress creeping in, take a breath and reflect on what and whom you are thankful for. Then send that person a card, gift or note; or journal and meditate about all the things you are thankful for. You will feel yourself start to reset from the stress with a calm mind and a positive outlook.

Hold for a few breaths, then lower back down.

T-Spine Opener If your upper back is out of alignment, you’ll likely experience problems in your neck and lower back as well, says Los Angeles-based chiropractor Robert Bates.

And that can lead to imbalances and movement-pattern problems. The T-spine opener helps loosen and realign your spine.

Lie on your side with your knees bent to 90 degrees and your arms outstretched, hands together. Place a towel or blanket under your head for support if you like and a small pillow or yoga block between your knees.

Keep your knees in place as you inhale and reach the top arm up and over to the other side so your arms are in a T shape.

Exhale and return to the start position.

Perform five to 10 reps on each side.

Proper curvature in you spine provides structure and function to the body and acts as a shock absorber for motion. “If a segment of the spine is stuck, it’s not allowing proprioception to be generated, nutrients can’t flow to brain and throughout the body and stress hormones are produced,” says Bates. Counteract all of that with this dynamic stretch.

Begin on your hands and knees in a neutral spine position.

Exhale as you fully round your back, pull the belly button in toward your spine and tuck your chin toward your chest.

Be aware of what segments feel stuck. Breathe into these spaces and remember to move slowly.
