On the cover: Tiffany Heuhs Tiffany Heuhs, 25, of Dimondale, is an elementary physical education teacher at Mason Public Schools. Heuhs uses her past experience as a cheerleader, first at Central Michigan University, and later, with the Detroit Pistons, to keep her lessons fresh and activity level high. “With today’s childhood obesity epidemic, I am constantly making it clear to my students that living a healthy lifestyle is key,” she said. “They make it a point to tell me what activities or sports they played over the weekend and tell me what muscles they are using when we are warming up or learning a specific skill.” Heuhs eats healthy, small meals throughout the day and keeps very active, making it to the gym five to six times per week. Her advice for success? “Always have some kind of small, achievable goal to work towards,” she said. “If you have nothing to work toward you will start to lose focus and motivation.” Read her full interview at healthyandfitmagazine.com.

A TITLE OF

PUBLISHER PERSPECTIVE

KISSCO PUBLISHING, LLC PO BOX 26, MASON, MI 48854

BY TIM KISSMAN

tim@healthyandfitmagazine.com

Dieting is great, but healthy habits are better

T

rying a new diet, and hoping it sticks, is like trying something new at a favorite restaurant. I often return to the eateries where I know exactly what I like. Occasionally trying something new is exciting, offering all sorts of possibilities, but in the end I usually wind up going back to flavors I have loved before. It is hard to adopt new foods or practices. There’s a certain restaurant where my regular lasagna experience was almost ruined by a one-time encounter with a weird-meat stuffed ravioli. I don’t know what I was thinking. The ravioli looked so good on the menu, but tasted so odd. How could I ever go against lasagna? Lasagna is layered, for Pete’s sake! February rolls around and spring is starting to come into focus. Hopefully any weight loss goals set in January are still on the horizon. I know I made a few resolutions that are still in my sights. I’m feeling pretty good about them. It’s been a long time since anything has stuck for me, too. Being a parent of two girls who love to play travel sports, it’s so easy to lose site of longrange goals. Way too easy to eat bad, drink often and not exercise. So finding something that works is an ongoing challenge. And I’ve tried a lot of different diets with funny names. I tried the avoiding-all-things-bread diet. That worked great until we went to get some lasagna. Breadsticks always taste good with lasagna. Scratch that idea. My good friend, Justin Grinnell, suggested I try the intermittent fasting (check out his article on page 29). I said I’d give it a go. I did great on the first day until I got so hungry I had to eat. I only made it to breakfast, I’m sorry to say. I don’t have the willpower to avoid eating. Scratch that idea too. I’ve tried other diets proposed as features for the magazine. You’d be amazed at the number of different ideas that are out there. Every one of them makes sense in some way, and every one of them has a success story attached. Credibility is key to diets and so are pictures of skinny people holding up enormous pairs of pants. What’s worked for me is to record what I eat. I don’t always like the report, but at least I can see where the calories add up, or where the nutrients are missing. I work out as much as I can, avoid fast food, and drink water. Lots of water. I examine all the different diet ideas I find in my inbox. I ask people who know a lot more than me about nutrition and the human body what they think. As long as they promote a healthy lifestyle, it’s usually worth a go. I advise anyone who is looking at any diet to do the same. I have a vast network of writers, who are nutritionists, doctors and personal trainers, to advise me. And, of course, I always talk to my doctor. I urge any reader to do the same. And when it comes to ordering off the menu, I suggest the following: Splurge once in a while, but stick with your real favorites. Like lasagna. And, of course, a lot of breadsticks. Enjoy the issue!

“Our success is due to the support of the community that I have been blessed to serve. This move represents 20 years of hard work and dedication to giving the best care possible to our patients.” - Dr. Marcy Street Dr. Marcy Street is a board certified, fellowship trained dermatologist, specializing in skin cancer prevention, and Mohs skin cancer surgery. She is the medical director and founder of Doctor’s Approach Dermatology – a group practice, focusing on complete care medical and surgical dermatology, Doctor’s Approach Med Spa – the only cosmetic med spa in mid-Michigan overseen by a dermatologist and Doctor’s Approach Products – a line of skin, hair, and nail products that are physician and pharmacy endorsed. Doctor’s Approach has been well established and respected for over 20 years, with patients visiting from all over the nation, Mexico and Canada.


Fit Features J UL I E CRE E M E R S Turning 50 was a wake-up call, says Julie Creemers, 51, of Okemos. “I found I was gaining weight, my body parts weren’t as firm, my energy level was down, and I was on several medications. If I wanted to have an active lifestyle the rest of my life, I knew I had to increase my focus on eating right and improving my fitness level.” Creemers tried many sports such as karate, running and racquetball, but didn’t love them enough to practice on her own. A year ago, she started working with a personal trainer, Carl Valentino. He introduced her to handball, jumping rope and the mini trampoline. “Handball has changed my life,” says Creemers. “It gives me a cardio and muscular workout and since I’m having fun, time goes by quickly.” Creemers eats five smaller, balanced meals a day. She’s lost 10 pounds, her body fat has decreased 5%, and she’s gone off most of her medications. She also has more energy, more self esteem, and feels stronger. “I feel better than ever,” she says. “Improving health is a lifestyle change: It has to be a new way of living for the rest of your life.”

MI CH AELIN E RACZKA As a registered dietitian and life coach, Michaeline Raczka, 52, of Commerce, has always strived for a healthy lifestyle. But like many people, she let life—her schedule, emotional clutter, etc.— get in the way. Her biggest challenge was exercising consistently. “I had tried running off and on for 30 years,” says Raczka. “I’d determined I wasn’t a runner and never would be. But after some prodding from my life coach and coworkers who run, I joined a Couch to 5K program offered at work.” Her goal: To have exercise as an ingrained health habit in order to be very mobile in her late 90s and on. Her first step was to change her thought process to “I am a runner.” Hoping to motivate others, she posted running updates on Facebook and her website, ClutterBustingCoach. com—which ended up being self-motivating as well. Raczka ran her first 5K in September. “Living a healthy lifestyle helps me realize that I can achieve what I put my mind to, it gives me the energy I need to accomplish everything else in my life and it’s a great stress reliever,” says Raczka. “Seeing how far I’ve come keeps me motivated. After all, I’m a runner now.”

NE L DA ME R C E R Nelda Mercer, 64, of Ann Arbor, has participated in 11 marathons, including four Boston Marathons. The 2012 Boston Marathon would have been her 12th marathon, but it was cancelled, so she’s training again for the 2013 event. Mercer has been eating healthfully and staying active since she was a young child and knew she wanted to pursue a health-related career. “Living a healthy lifestyle keeps me balanced,” she says. “I enjoy preparing wholesome foods paired with good wine and eat all foods—even red meat and butter—in moderation.” Mercer says she is happiest when she’s active, and although she suffers from overuse injuries at times, she continues to enjoy long distance running. “Running helps reduce my stress level and is good for my self esteem. I also feel it’s important to practice what I preach and inspire others through example.” Maintaining a sense of wellbeing keeps Mercer motivated and staying fit and eating well help her feel and look younger. Her advice for others: Identify a realistic health/fitness goal that’s important to you; strive for continuous improvement (ask for help when needed); and remember that, over time, small steps make a big difference.

CO URTN EY P RESEAU LT Life balance is the health habit that’s most important to 27-year-old Courtney Preseault of Okemos, an avid soccer player. Preseault finds that a healthy lifestyle, which was instilled in her at a young age, helps her feel better and have more energy. “Through the years, I’ve become more aware of my healthy habits and the not-so-healthy ones,” she says. “Although I don’t always choose the most healthful options, I recognize that and balance things later on. This stops me from going extreme in any direction.” A desire for future health keeps her motivated and setting goals and creating a plan with a timeline keep her focused. “I want to remain active and healthy for decades to come and I feel that by having healthy habits now, it will be easier to maintain them in the future.” Preseault says healthy habits can rub off on others and she finds it rewarding when her lifestyle positively impacts others. “Whether it’s nutrition or exercising, you just need to find your own balance and what works for you. Also, take it one day at a time. If you have an off day, start fresh the next day and don’t give up!” We need Fit Features! Have someone in mind who might be a good Fit Feature?

Success!

by Karen Giles-Smith

Beth Byrne

Beginning in 2006, Beth Byrne, 41, of Williamston, made small changes to her health habits over time and lost 74 pounds. One small change—taking Zumba classes—transformed her life. Now a certified instructor of Zumba, Aqua Zumba and Zumba Toning, Byrne inspires her students to live a healthy lifestyle and, in turn, her students’ progress and dedication inspire Byrne to keep up the good work. What happened in 2006? I saw a

picture of myself and a friend I’ve known since the first grade. I realized that she looked exactly the same, but I didn’t look like me. I didn’t feel like me anymore, either. That moment, I knew something had to change.

After!

You ended up making several changes! How did you get started? I began with

small changes over time. First, I started eating more fruits and vegetables and drinking more water. Then, I began exercising—just a little bit at a time—and built up to participating in a 5K run.

Did you encounter any challenges?

Before!

Everyone experiences challenges with life changes, and so do I. My biggest challenge is time management. It’s very easy to say that I’ll work out tomorrow, or to eat convenience food because it’s easier! My second biggest challenge is one that many women can relate to: self-image.

How did you take on these challenges?

I’m very goal-oriented. I set achievable goals for myself and once I achieve a goal, I set another goal so that I’m continually growing as a person. In terms of time management, I make working out a part of my routine. I also make myself accountable to others. At this point in time, my accountability is to my students; but before I became a Zumba instructor, I made myself accountable to my instructor and my Zumba friends. My husband does the grocery shopping and buys healthy, easy-to-eat options like fruit, yogurt and string cheese. In regard to self-image, I remind myself of all the activities that I can do now. I love positive quotes to help keep me motivated. I also remind myself that I’m not the person I used to be.

What changes do you see in yourself?

I’m much more confident and willing to try something new. This new confidence affects all aspects of my life:

10

Beth Byrne Before: 234 lbs After: 160 lbs. Height: 5’3.5”

Photo by Kathryn Kufahl

I’m more outgoing and creative.

What keeps you motivated to sustain your healthy habits?

My four children are the number one motivator in my life. Plus, the health benefits are motivating on their own. My blood pressure was high and now it’s low to normal; and my strength, endurance and flexibility have increased significantly. Also, I find it motivating to help others who are

working toward a healthier lifestyle. For me, leading classes and knowing each of my students has a goal that they’re working on keeps me motivated to continue.

What advice do you have for others who are trying to improve their health habits?

Never quit. Keep trying because small changes add up to big changes. Every person is different: If one way doesn’t work for you, find another way.

Teeth

Gum disease

Periodontal Disease Self-Assessment:

How to know if you have it. by Dr. Susan Maples

Q. A.

Can gum disease affect my general health and how do I know if I have it?

Current medical research has helped us to understand the close connections between the health of the mouth and the rest of your body. For instance: • Gum inflammation is a prime risk factor for heart disease, heart attack, hypertension and stroke • Dangerous oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream and migrate to infect your heart and other vital organs. • Gum inflammation is also linked to Alzheimer’s disease,diabetes, kidney disease, colon cancer and osteoporosis. • Gum inflammation puts pregnant women at risk of preterm, low-birth weight babies and threatens other fetal complica tions.

Your dentist can provide a comprehensive periodontal examination that includes: “pocket” measuring around the neck of each tooth, an assessment of the inflammation in the tissue, gum recession measurements, mobility testing, and necessary x-rays—all to evaluate bone loss and gum tissue breakdown. Your exam may also include medical lab tests such as 1) Genetic tests to see of your body has a heightened sensitivity to inflammation, 2) Bacterial DNA tests to identify the specific bacteria involved in your gum infection, and 3) Blood tests for systemic or general inflammation (C-reactive protein or CRP). Your dentist must also consider compromising health factors that may predispose you to an increased risk of gum disease. Meanwhile, let me offer you a simple self-assessment tool that might help.

Scoring: Yes=2 points, Occasionally=1 point, No=0 points _____Do your gums bleed when you brush or floss? _____Do your gums appear red (Do they match your lips rather than your skin)? _____Do you suffer from bad breath? _____Do you have any loose teeth or teeth that have shifted? _____Do you smoke? _____Are there areas on your gums that ever get swollen or sore? _____Do you get food wedged between your teeth? _____Do you see exposed roots at the gumline? _____Are your teeth sensitive to cold temperatures? _____Have you ever been told you have “gingivitis”, “bone loss”, “gum disease”? _____Has it been more than a year since your last professional dental cleaning? _____Have your parents or siblings lost teeth due to periodontal disease? Score total points: 0-3 unlikely host of periodontal disease: learn more about prevention; 4-7 low suspicion of localized periodontal disease/ inflammation: seek consultation; 8-11 moderate suspicion of generalized disease: seek consultation; 12+ high suspicion of generalized disease: get immediate attention

Our team would like to recognize Dr Susan and her team for these two prestigious national recognitions!

Mind

Take a pause

Learn how to make time for yourself. by Cynthia Logan, PhD

T

he holidays are behind us, we may or may not have made a New Year’s Resolution, and hopefully the decorations have been taken down and stored. Now is the time to take a little bit of care for ourselves to do those things that we vowed we would take care of after the holidays. It could involve making a doctor’s appointment, taking that new supplement, or taking a big break and getting some rest. There is nothing wrong with taking some time for ourselves now. Don’t feel guilty about the house not being in order or the laundry not getting done. Allow yourself to veg out in front of the TV or play games with the kids or your friends. Read a book. Reconnect with friends that you haven’t seen for a while. Take this time to do what you want to do, not what

“Even if you’ve made a New Year’s resolution you can put those plans on pause without totally giving up on your goals“ others want you to do or what is expected of you. Having some stress, such as holiday stress, can be tolerated for short periods of time, but stress of significant duration

can create a weakened immune system and if not cared for can begin a breakdown of body systems. You may have already experienced this yourself or in those around you as colds and flu have developed. Most people have pushed through them during the holidays, but taking a rest can help to combat them. Even if you’ve made a New Year’s Resolution you can put those plans on pause without totally giving up on your goals, while you give yourself that much needed break. If you didn’t make a resolution, it’s never too late to take action on doing things that improve your life. Cynthia Logan Anthony, PhD is a psychologist, limited license, a licensed professional counselor, and a nationally certified counselor with the National Board of Certified Counselors.

2013 HEALTHY & FIT MAGAZINE RACE GUIDE

2013 Race Guide

Try to keep up with Dennis Weinstein this summer Healthy & Fit Magazine is proud to publish its annual running guide on the following pages. It’s definitely a labor of love to gather all the data about the scores of events that are held on just about every weekend of the year. A special thanks to Playmakers, and the Running Foundation, where much of the data is gathered. Their lists get better and better. As always, we do our best to find all the races and get them right. If we missed your race, or have the wrong info, send us an email at tim@healthyandfitmagazine.com. There aren’t too many runners who have a running history like Dr. Dennis Weinstein, 42, of Holt. His running resume looks like it belongs on another page in the race guide. He’s run a 2 hour, 51 minute marathon when he was 19; challenges himself with marathons and triathlons every summer, and last year, was a participant in the World’s Toughest Mudder (WTM). Tough Mudder events are 1012 miles obstacle courses based on

British Special Forces Training. Their designed to test all-around strength, mental grit and camaraderie. Weinstein’s event was held in Englishtown, New Jersey and had 32 military-style obstacles. To qualify for the WTM, a contestant must complete a regular Tough Mudder course in the top 5 percent of participants on that day. “I prefer races that activite every muscle,” he said. “I like the ones where at the end of the race you feel like you’ve done something very hard. In the WTM, I thought the running was the easiest part. The swim in 41 degree water, and then scaling the 90-foot cargo net, that was hard.” Weinstein said he’s ready for another one and has the Detroit Tough Mudder, in June on his list. He’s already started getting ready. He trains at New Life Fitness and most of his running takes place in Valhalla Park trails and at night mostly, with his Doberman

Pincher, Heinz, wearing a headlamp. “The WTM was by far the hardest race I’ve attempted to date,” he said. “I wasn’t fully prepared for the extreme cold at the night portion of the race. I know what I’m going to do differently for this year and hopefully I’ll do better.” Visit toughmudder.com for more information.

Ab workout

Who doesn’t want great abs? by Pat Hagen

I

t’s time. Time to get back on track and prepare yourself for the arrival of spring and the activities that accompany that time of the year. Whether it’s for fashion ( fitting into a swim suit for the sandy, white beaches of the Caribbean) or for functional performance (balancing on that new stand up paddle board), your abs are ready for some targeted attention. Really, who doesn’t want great abs? Assuming that you remembered that diet is as important as exercise for defined abs, and you’ve cut the simple carbs like sugar and refined flour from your diet, the next step is a quick routine that is easy to fit into your schedule, and one that will recruit as many muscles as possible. Once you have become proficient performing the following exercises on a stable surface (the floor) you can progress to a soft foam roller, which will add the challenge of an unstable surface. Just imagine the additional muscles necessary to keep you on top of this sphere. Add these core exercises to complement your existing strength training routine. Complete the exercises as a circuit, repeating twice. Unlike most muscle strengthening, core exercises can be performed most days of the week. With the combination of clean eating and consistent attention to strengthening your body over the next six to eight weeks, you should prepare yourself to be proud of your lean, mean, abdominal machine!

Overhead Triceps Extension Kneel with roller positioned under knees. Raise dumbbells overhead with arms straight and held in neutral (palms facing inward) position. Bend elbows, and slowly lower dumbbells toward shoulders. Contract abs as you return the dumbbells to starting position.

Heel Taps Lie with roller under spine and knees bent with feet flat on floor and arms down at sides. Gently press lower back into roller (imprint) bringing right knee toward chest. Maintain imprint and slowly lower leg, lightly tapping heel to the floor. Repeat eight to 10 times then switch to left leg.

Oblique Curl Lie with roller under spine and knees bent with feet flat on floor and unclasped hands cradling head. Retract scapula bringing elbows wide to sides. Imprint lower back as you raise head and shoulders and slowly press right elbow toward left knee. Slowly return to starting position. Repeat eight to 10 times alternating sides.

Produce of the month: Mushrooms Mushrooms 101

How to prepare and cook:

Because they are grown either underground or on the surface, it’s important to clean them before use. Use as little water as possible as mushrooms absorb moisture and can become tough. Try using a paper towel or slightly damp cloth to thoroughly wipe them to remove the dirt. Do not soak mushrooms unless you are using a dried variety - in which case, let them sit for 1 hour to rejuvenate them. If you are cooking mushrooms whole, choose those uniform in size to help with even cooking. When using in a recipe with salt, add the salt towards the end of cooking to avoid it from drawing too much moisture out of the mushrooms and making them soft.

Mushrooms are the edible fruit parts of a fungus. They are not considered a vegetable because they lack chlorophyll and the ability to make nutrients from the sun (photosynthesize). There are upwards of 38,000 varieties of mushrooms in North America. They are available in Michigan year round.

How to select and store:

Choose firm, evenly colored mushrooms with tightly closed caps—visible gills are indicative of age. Avoid those that are broken or damaged with soft spots. Shiny and slimy skins are signs of spoilage. Store fresh mushrooms partially covered in the refrigerator to keep them from drying out but still allowing some air venting—a brown paper lunch bag is a good option. Most fresh mushrooms should be used within 5-7 days.

Important!

Be sure to thoroughly research mushrooms before picking and eating them. There are many varieties that are poisonous, or called ‘toadstools.’ Do not take any chances if you are unsure.

Marinated Mushrooms

What’s in it for you: Mushrooms are a fat free, low sodium food high in riboflavin and niacin. They are rich in phytochemicals, potentially helping reduce the risk of cancers and are a healthy substitution for meats in almost any dish. Mushrooms differ from many forms of produce because they lose little to none of their nutrients when cooked.

Dining on local dishes

It may not be for everyone, but is it for you? by Justin Grinnell

R

estaurants in greater Lansing are focusing on a menu chocked-full of local ingredients. The Purple Carrot Truck hit the road in May 2011. Owners Nina Santucci and Tony Maiale knew they wanted to start an eatery focused on local foods. The success of their truck, helped open the doors to their restaurant, Red Haven, so their foods could be enjoyed year-round. “There are very few places in the country that are able to compete with the variety of foods Michigan offer,” Santucci said. “Being an agricultural state, it’s crazy to think of how much gets sent out and is not utilized here.” At least 90 percent of their food is locally produced. Their menu is ever-changing, dependent on what is in season as well as being customer-driven. “With such a void for this type of local food, customers are extra appreciative” Santucci said. “They are excited to be part of it and what is served.” Trailer Park’d is another food truck focusing on local ingredients. While this mindset can be more difficult financially, it upholds the core of their business. “We want to support our communities, be sustainable, and prepare foods with integrity,” owner

Rob Lewi, part of the Trailer Park’d culinary team. “We want to support as many local families and farmers as possible.” The success of Trailer Park’d spurred the opening of their restaurant, The Fork in the Road, on Lansing’s west side. Food trucks are not the only place to get local ingredients. Grand Traverse Pie Company (GTPC) is a Michigan-based restaurant priding themselves on getting 95 percent of their purchases, food and paper products alike,

from Michigan. Margaret Alexander, of GTPC, notes it isn’t always easy to accomplish, but it’s been a core value of the business since they opened in 1996. “The cost for local products can be challenging,” Alexander says, “however, we’ve intentionally changed the way we do business to continue to use products focused on Michigan.” GTPC develops their menu based on what’s in season by offering limited-time specials and developing new recipes based on what produce is available at that time.

Physical wellness

INTELLECTUAL

A closer look at the wellness. by Tara Townsend

O

f the six dimensions of wellness, the physical dimension is perhaps the most easily understood, but involves much more than cardiovascular endurance, strength and flexibility. Physical wellness is multi-faceted and is relative to each person’s abilities and disabilities. It involves developing healthy lifestyle habits and avoiding negative, excessive behavior. For example, some seniors we know live alone in their own homes and do most of the day-to-day maintenance themselves, such as tending the lawn, working in the garden and even shoveling snow. Many exercise several days a week at the local wellness center. Although they are grandmothers and grandfathers in their eighties, they are intent on maintaining their health and wellness. Typical exercise routines include the elliptical, abdominal, rowing and arm machines. Some take strength classes once a week. Others walk on treadmills

PHYSICAL in their homes or park away from store entrances in order to get more walking in. Most avoid fast food and junk food, but they treat SPIRITUAL themselves occasionally to their favorite dessert and healthy snacks. The physical dimension of wellness encourages activities that contribute to personal safety, medical self-care, and the appropriate use of the medical system, which might include fitness, nutrition and weight control, health screenings, disease prevention and lifestyle habits. Even normal, everyday activities contribute to physical wellness – walking, dressing, reaching, folding, lifting, carrying, pouring and stirring for example. Physical wellness also encompasses tasting, hearing, seeing, touching, smelling, doing, feeling and being. What activities are in your physical

Intermittent fasting

With all diets, just like new exercise, please make sure to consult a physician before starting. IF is something I’ve discovered that works wonders for me. I bring this to the Healthy & Fit Magazine readers so they can become more educated about IF and find out if it is something they could begin to practice. Read more online at healthyandfitmagazine.com -Justin

It may not be for everyone, but is it for you? by Justin Grinnell

T

he most accurate definition is the simplest one: IF is alternating intervals of not eating ( fasting period) with times where you are allowed to eat ( feeding period). How long each window lasts depends on the method that you choose to use, and there are several ways you can implement IF into your lifestyle. That is the beauty of it, and why it works so well. Each option has its benefits, and the choice really depends on your personal preference and lifestyle. In general, each plan is about 16-36 hours with several stops in between, and each strategy offers it’s own unique benefits. Alternate day fasting With this plan you simply eat every other day. So on Monday, you’d eat within a 12-hour window, say, 8 a.m to 8 p.m. Then you’d fast overnight on Monday, and all day/ overnight on Tuesday. You’d eat again from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday. And so on. Alternate day fasters are encour-

aged to make good eating choices, but they’re allowed to eat what they want on the non-fasting days. Meal skipping Some IF proponents believe we should behave like our evolutionary ancestors did. As humans evolved to get their food and exercise randomly, so should we. This brand of IF includes eating unprocessed “evolutionary friendly” food (think Paleo-diet type), randomly cycling daily calorie intake, and randomly skipping a breakfast or dinner meal once or twice a week. The rules are very flexible. Eat stop eat On this plan, you fast for a full 24 hours once or twice per week, eating sensibly (higher protein, minimizing processed foods, etc.) the rest of the week. It’s flexible: You can choose whichever 24 hours you want. Want to fast from breakfast to breakfast? That’s cool. Just eat breakfast on Monday, and don’t eat again until breakfast on Tuesday.

Warrior diet On this plan, you fast for 20 hours each day, working out during your fasted state. Then, eat your daily food intake within the 4-hour feeding window. After that 4-hour feeding period, fast again for 20 hours. Generally, most people place their 4-hour feeding window at the end of the day, as it’s more convenient for family dinners and after-work training sessions. However, the 20 hours of fasting and 4 hours of feeding can occur any time during the day. In closing Please don’t think of IF as some fad diet, crazy fasting experiment, or a quick fix to lose weight. Instead, think of it as a way to improve appetite control, a proper way to restrict calories, improve daily production, improve your glucose/sugar metabolism, increase fat oxidation, improve growth hormone production to burn fat, control hunger and eliminate waste fr0m the body. As always, consult with a qualified professional to see if a particular dietary plan is right for you.

Broken heart syndrome It’s a real medical condition. by Lisa Marie Metzler

F

ebruary is all about the heart. Valentine’s Day sends our hearts a flutter and American Health Month promotes healthy heart awareness. Little is said about broken hearts though. A relationship gone sour or a love not reciprocated is usually how we perceive a broken heart but it is actually a real medical condition. It feels like a heart attack! Stress cardiomyopathy or “broken heart syndrome” is a condition that got it’s name because a lot of patients suffered from it after the death of a loved one. However, grief doesn’t always trigger it. Intense emotions such as extreme fear, anxiety or a surprise can bring it on. Sometimes it will follow physical stressors to the body such as stroke, seizure, significant bleeding, an asthma attack or emphysema. These factors can cause rapid and severe heart muscle weakness. People who experience broken heart syndrome have similar symptoms that are associated with a heart attack. Chest pain, shortness of breath, congestive heart failure and low blood pressure. These symptoms can begin within minutes or hours after the person has been exposed to the unexpected stress. Though the symptoms are similar there is no way you can tell if it is a heart attack or stress cardiomyopathy so don’t take any chances and seek medical attention at once! What’s going on with my ticker? The good news about broken heart syndrome is that the heart is only temporarily stunned and usually recovers with no permanent damage. Patients generally recover quickly and make a complete recovery and rarely suffer recurrence. On the other hand, a heart attack occurs when there are blockages and blood clots forming in the coronary arteries. If the blood supply is cut off from the blockage for a long enough period of time, permanent and irreversible damage occurs. A stress cardiomyopathy patient has no blockage or permanent damage

to the heart or the heart cells because the heart is merely stunned from the rush of adrenaline and usually will completely recover within a couple of weeks. When you’re admitted to the hospital your symptoms will likely be treated as if you were having a heart attack. Once stress cardiomyopathy is identified the course of action will be to support the heart and make sure it gets stronger and your blood pressure improves. This will probably include diuretics to remove excess fluid from the lungs and vasodilators to open blood vessels. Once the stress hormone levels fall back to normal your heart will regain its previous pumping activity. Your body on stress When your body is exposed to abnormalities of a physical (low blood sugar, dehydration or high body temperature) or intense emotional nature your body responds by producing adrenaline and noradrenaline, which are supposed to help you cope with the stress. For example, if your body senses impending danger it will release large amounts of adrenaline to help you run faster or move a heavy object. In the case of stress cardiomyopathy, the heart muscles is overwhelmed by the massive amounts of adrenaline. Experts are still unsure how specifically the excess adrenaline affects the heart but a couple of theories seem

Healthy & Fit • www.healthyandfitmagazine.com

to tie in with the symptoms that occur. One, is the adrenaline may cause the arteries to narrow, causing a temporary decrease of blood flow to the heart. Another theory is adrenaline may bind to the heart cells which cause large amounts of calcium to enter the cells and making them temporarily dysfunctional. Women of a certain age Although anyone can experience broken heart syndrome, it usually affects women. According to a study conducted by Dr. Ilan Wittstein, a cardiologist at John Hopkins Medicine, 90 percent of broken heart syndrome patients are middle aged women; most being post-menopausal and over the age of 55. The common thread with women of this age is the decline of estrogen levels as they age. Estrogen improves blood flow to the heart. With the estrogen decline the tissue surrounding the heart is more susceptible to stress hormones. You may wonder if you will experience broken heart syndrome every time there is a particularly stressful episode in your life but not to worry. The John Hopkins study followed patients who encountered broken heart syndrome and though they had other stressful events in their lives none of them developed the syndrome again.
