Improve Your Healthy Routines When you feel strong nothing can hold you back. From building your muscles to strengthening your mind and conditioning your body, every day you strive towards looking and feeling healthy in the truest sense.

Here are some tips that will help to improve your long-term health.

Amp Up Your Workout Don’t let your workout routine get stale.

Mix up your regularly scheduled program to work different muscles and ward off workout boredom.

Take time to regularly evaluate your fitness regimen and make sure you’re spending enough time on improving your endurance, strength and flexibility.

Also, don’t forget to carve out time to warm up with dynamic stretches before your workout and deep stretches afterward. Get out a foam roller to stretch and massage your muscles to keep them limber. Using a foam roller will help to increase the range in motion of your muscles, which can help prevent injuries during future workouts.

Fuel Your Body Give your body the fuel and energy it needs to keep you strong and healthy.

Start each morning with a breakfast full of nutrients and protein to set a good tone for the rest of the day. Make your mornings easier with simple tricks like preparing overnight oats the night before so you

have no excuses to skip this crucial meal.

Stick to a healthy eating plan with meal planning. Prepare as many lunches and dinners for the week as you can on Sunday, before work and family obligations get in the way.

Look to fill those meals with a balance of lean meats and proteins, legumes, fruits and vegetables, and healthy grains like brown rice and quinoa.

A healthy balanced diet will improve your energy level throughout the day and during workouts. You should also make sure that you are hydrating post-workout with water, or for an extra hydration boost, try coconut water.

When you amp up these aspects of your overall routine your body will feel the difference and you will see the difference.

Have a healthy and safe summer!

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

no ticket booths to go through and the layout clearly welcomed guests to take advantage of this added attraction.

A Stroll in the Streets

Like many of the events held at the Streets, the design of the center really plays well to special activities, live entertainment and booths which are strategically placed in the center of, you guessed it, “The Streets.” The main stage showcased a great country western band and there were several couples dancing under the mid-day sun. I liked this part best since it seemed to be where everyone gathered to dance and sing with their friends.

Here it is the end of June and the summer sun is at its finest. Amidst the farmland’s Brentwood Sweet Corn and newly planted hills of grape vineyards is the shopping gem of East Contra Costa County. Lucky for me, my assignment this month is to visit The Streets of Brentwood Stroll Festival. This two day event on June 25 & 26 was the first of its kind exclusively promoted by the center, so I was pretty excited to see how it faired up against the many other civic celebrations Brentwood has to offer.

So, I grabbed my best friend and off we went to enjoy the afternoon on our stroll.

The location of the Streets is so easy to get to as it has its own exit off the Hwy 4 Bi-pass and parking is abundant no matter what is happening there. We chose to park next to DSW to take a quick run to the back sale racks and have a good start to the stroll. Since the event was free to the public, there were

by show time and produced some really good art. Several other artists displayed their wares along the avenue and the food trucks had people standing in line to try their delicacies.

Many local businesses were there to offer special introductions to their services, including Exfinity and Aantex Pest Control. As we walked along, we were able to collect business cards, buy some jewelry and taste our favorite wines.

The neat thing is, like many events in Brentwood, we were able to see local friends and families and have a nice chat.

They had a wonderful beer and wine area showcasing local names and your purchase of a glass allowed you to sample all your choices. My favorite, since I am a wine drinker, were Bloomfield Vineyards, Hannah Nicole Vineyards and Viano Vineyards, all who are avid supporters of our community. There was a huge tent for shade to enjoy the afternoon and enough hay bales for all to find a comfortable seat.

So, Streets of Brentwood, the secret shopper gives you five sunshine’s for your first festival and encourages you to continue your efforts to bring together the community of East Contra Costa County and for offering such a wonderful experience to shop local. The Monthly Grapevine encourages all of readers to visit the Streets and watch their website at shopstreesofbrentwood.com for more events. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

You could sign up for painting classes where artists would guide you along to create your own masterpiece on canvas.

This was clearly a highlight of the event as most of the sessions were filled up

Streets of Brentwood is located at 2455 Sand Creek Rd. Brentwod. They can be contacted at 925-516-8500 or visit www. shopstreetsofbrentwood.com.

HEALTH

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

Crohn’s Disease and Dental Considerations Crohns’s Disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic inflammatory bowel disease(IBD). This disease affects two million Americans with approximately 70,000 new cases diagnosed each year. It can occur at any age and is most prevalent in the North America and Europe. A western diet with low consumption of vegetables and high intake of sugar, processed foods and industrial animal products may play a role in this disease. Environmental, behavioral and genetics may contribute to development of IBD. Using tobacco at a young age have been implicated as a risk factor. New evidence suggests that individuals who were prescribed high levels of antibiotics in early childhood and those with low vitamin D levels are at increased risk for IBD. Both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis exhibit periods of activity and remission. Symptoms like abdominal

cramping, diarrhea and areas of ulceration within the intestines causing intestinal bleeding can range from mild to severe.

This can lead to malnutrition and anemia which in turn can cause serious oral health problems like burning mouth syndrome, inflammation of the tissues in the mouth and corners of the lips, soreness in the tongue, fungal infection and gingivitis. in addition there could be pus filled ulcers in the mouth. The mouth swelling and chronic ulcers can be early indicators for Crohn’s disease.

Definitive diagnosis is done by biopsy of the intestines in addition to colonoscopy and ileoscopy. Osteoporosis and asthma are also common conditions that may be seen with Crohn’s disease. Patients who take medications for osteoporosis and need invasive dental procedures should be carefully evaluated for the risk of necrosis of the jaw bone. Since Asthma is also commonly seen in Crohn’s disease patients who take asthma meds can experience side effects from theses meds like dry mouth and increased cavities in the teeth.

Some patients with Crohn’s disease may present with minimal or no complications while others may experience problems that significantly impact the oral health.

The manifestations of Crohn’s disease may

appear in the oral cavity before intestinal signs are noted and so the dentist could give the referral for a definitive diagnosis to be made sooner. It is highly recommended to check with the dentist regularly to get the proper care sooner rather than later.

Apollo Dental Care is the dental office of Dr. Sue Padavettan, D.D.S. Dr. Sue has 15 years of experience in dentistry.

Graduated from USC with outstanding achievement award for restorative dentistry and was elected member of Honor Dental Society by the Zeta Chapter and is a active member and ADA, CDA and CCDS.

HEALTH

Laser Advantage All people, men and women alike, have times when they feel the need to increase their confidence by improving their appearance and overall sense of self. Whether you want to enhance or correct what you were born with or simply aspire to reduce the ravages of time, Laser Advantage of Antioch can help you attain your desired image. Staffed by Dr. James Edwards and Marti Edwards, RN, the facility offers clients over 14 years of experience in aesthetic healthcare.

Laser Advantage provides hair and vein removal and skin rejuvenating services such as Laser Genesis, Cutera Titan skin tightening, and microdermabrasion facials that render a healthier and younger-looking persona. Trained professionals can remove unsightly brown spots, administer Botox, and provide Fraxel Laser treatments for resurfaced skin with a flawless finish. They can remove bothersome moles or skin tags. Should you have old tattoos that no longer inspire you, they can provide maximum tattoo removal that leaves the surrounding skin areas untouched.

Demanding schedules have us searching for time-saving alternatives. If you are tired of shaving unwanted facial or body hair, visit Laser Advantage and have it removed with the use of their Cutera CoolGlide Xeo Laser. Considered the

best hair removal system on the market, it is suitable for all skin tones and types regardless of a light, dark, or tanned complexion.

Moreover, the CoolGlide Xeo Laser is ideal for vein removal. It remedies a wide variety of vessels from small spider veins to deep blue reticular veins quickly and effectively. Blood blisters known as hemangiomas respond excellently to this type of therapy, and patients with port-wine stains and other vascular lesions have reported astounding results.

The Laser Genesis Skin Therapy system is an innovative way to promote a vibrant and luminous visage. Skin damage resulting from active lifestyles combined with the aging process such as sun damage, redness, large pores, scars, and fine lines and wrinkles on the face and body can be combatted with this method that is scientifically proven to increase collagen production. Additionally, Cutera Titan is offered for an all-natural option.

This skin and collagen tightening system improves the looseness of skin and is perfect for the face, arms, abdomen, and thighs without intrusive surgery, recovery time, or injections.

Countless people have improved their looks by using Botox. A quick and minimally invasive way of smoothing out facial lines and “crow’s- feet” around the eyes, the results are visibly noticeable for four months. Laser Advantage also offers Photo Genesis to improve skin texture and reduce pigmentation spots and redness.

Fraxel Laser treatment for skin resurfacing is a revolutionary new process that delivers a pristine and glowing complexion that subtracts years from your countenance. It works by treating thousands of microscopic areas of the skin and penetrates beneath the surface to eliminate old and damaged skin cells. Fraxel Laser effectually addresses annoyances such as wrinkles, age and sun spots, brown spots, pregnancy mask, acne and surgical scars, and stretch marks and stimulates the body’s own natural healing process to replace old skin with new.

How we perceive ourselves and the way others perceive us is an important and vital aspect of healthy and positive living.

At Laser Advantage, the goal is to make you happy with what you see when you gaze upon your reflection in the mirror.

Rest assured, you will receive the best of care from professionals who strongly emphasize safety and fully understand the self-reflective needs of their patients.

Laser Advantage is located at 3725 Lone Tree Way, Ste. C, Antioch. They can be reached at 925-754-4881 or laseradvantageEC.com.

Who’s Who... in East County

When the time to clear the homestead of unnecessary debris arrives, there are many benefits for those who choose to rent a dumpster container. This is true whether they are renovating their residence, making the move to downsizing their house, or simply have the desire to spruce up their living space. Ardent’s Hauling residential driveway dumpster service makes any job easier by delivering the container of your choice to your driveway, allowing you three days to load at your own convenience, and returning to pick up the loaded container and haul it to the dump for you. It’s as simple as that.

Of course, there are other options. You could do your own hauling, but why put your vehicle at risk for stains, scratches, or foul odors? You could call for a special pickup, but then the job has to be done according to their schedule. It just makes perfect sense to rent a container, fill it up per your own agenda, and let someone else cart it all away.

Ardent’s Hauling accepts large appliances, e-waste, yard waste, mattresses, car batteries, all household junk and much more for a flat rate. 6 cubic yard dumpster trailers are available, and for more arduous projects, a 10 cubic yard roll-off box can be leased. Flat rates make it easy to stay within your budget and the low prices make dumpster rental a cost effective way to deal with the burden of rubbish removal.

Family owned and operated, this Antioch company has been serving the East Bay since 2005. Customers can call the office to request a container or simply make their dumpster arrangements online via their website or Yelp. Take the stress out of a messy venture, save money, and keep a better focus on the task at hand by renting a container from Ardent’s Hauling when it’s time to conquer the clutter.

to encapsulate the material. Doing so will prevent pets, curious youngsters and feisty teens from tearing things out.

A Hot Garage Is Not Cool: 6 Tips to Cool it Down During summer, increasing airflow in the garage is step one.

• This can be achieved by slightly opening the overhead door (about a foot from the floor). Slightly or fully opening the garage main door and adding a fan also can help.

• Insulating the ceiling is a magnificent way of cooling any room including the garage. Ceiling wallboard is not needed if paper-backed batt-insulation is used.

Simply install the insulation with staples (paper side down) or you can choose to keep the insulation in place with netting made for that purpose – staples are also used to fasten the netting. We would do both.

• Wall insulation is another great way of staving off summer heat and keeping out winter cold. Although wall insulation does not have to be covered, wallboard (or some other paneling) should be used

• Attaching an adjustable rollaway awning to the sunny side of the garage will crate shade in the summer and allow sunlight during winter months. A deciduous tree is an inexpensive means of keeping a garage cool in the summer and warm in the winter. If possible, plant the tree so that it is located between the garage and the sun during the hottest part of the day. During summer months the leaves will shade the garage and during the cold months the bare branches will let sunlight through to warm the garage.

Most hardwood trees will fill the bill (Oak, Walnut, Ash, etc.). A Fruitless Mulberry grows like wildfire and provides great shade.

• Insulating the garage overhead door is another way of cooling the garage in the summer and keeping the space warmer in the winter. For an uninsulated metal door add a two-inch thick layer of rigid insulation attached to the inside of each panel with contact cement. Works great!

Of course, given the budget, an insulated sectional overhead door is the best alternative.

• Also, a stationary vent can be installed on the roof creating an exit point for hot air that is trapped in the garage attic.

Such passive ventilation is inexpensive, but not nearly as effective as a mechanical exhaust system. Exhaust fans draw cooler air from the garage into the attic cooling the attic and thus cooling the space below. By the way, this same technique can used to cool the inside of the house as well.

or marriage to her or her beneficiaries.

Second, she wanted to make sure that her assets were used first and foremost for her health, education, support and maintenance.

Can Someone put You in a Home without Your Consent?

Incapacity Provisions in a Trust

Third, if she was not able to care for herself, she had specific directions for the Trustee as to providing for her standard of care. In her case, it was her desire to remain in her home as long as it was medically practical and that the Trustee was authorized and directed to provide in home services so long as the cost to provide such care did not exceed 200% of the cost to provide such services in residential care.

Recently, my mother passed away and I was reading her Trust. If a Trust is drafted properly, it will give the Trustee a window into the life of Grantor. In many cases it is like a heart to heart talk or diary telling you the Grantor’s innermost desires and wishes. In the case of my mother, her biggest concern was about her care if she should become incapacitated. She wanted to be sure she could maintain her independence as long as possible and on her terms. In order to accomplish these objectives, her Trust outlined in detail what she wanted done in the event of incapacity.

Fourth, if it was necessary for her to be in a residential facility, she wanted a person to be hired to visit her regularly, at least once a week, unannounced, to evaluate the level of care that she was receiving. In the event that the care was determined to be deficient, she was then to be moved.

Fifth, she specifically provided that if she were to live in a residential facility, the facility chosen should be the smallest one with the fewest number of patients available.

First, she wanted to make sure her incapacity (if she did not agree voluntarily) would be established by two licensed physicians who were not related by blood

Finally, my mother was concerned that her medical insurance company would

not pay for treatment that the Trustee or doctor might determine to be desirable.

Therefore, she provided that the Trustee was authorized to secure and pay for the costs of a second opinion and to pay for said treatment if it was determined to be in her best interest. Further, she directed the Trustee to employee a professional advocate to negotiate with the medical organization for the purpose of obtaining coverage for the treatment.

In conclusion, if you have a Trust, you should review its terms regarding incapacity. If the Trust provisions are not what you want, you should consider amending the Trust to correctly reflect your wishes and desires. While my mother was very fortunate to die at home after a short illness, that will not be the case for many of us. We may not be able to control our physical or mental health, but we can control how our assets are used to care for us.

standing each day. You can then look for inefficiencies--and ways to economize.

Need More Money? Four Moves to Consider

Reduce credit card expenses. On average, each US household with credit card debt owes a balance of more than $15,000. You can eliminate such debt faster--and start saving more--by paying more than the minimum monthly amount on your credit cards each month.

A common question Financial Advisors hear from clients is, “How can I save more than I’m saving now?”

Fortunately, there are several ways you can accomplish that goal with a bit of professional help.

Consider the following: Monitor expenses. Lowering your expenses by a modest amount such as 1% could allow you to boost your savings initiatives as much as a comparable increase in pay.

To gain insights into your current spending habits, consider downloading a budgeting app for your smart phone.

They’re much easier to use than they used to be and make expense tracking very simple. For example, many apps allow you to record your income and spending on the go, incorporating information from various accounts, in order to have an upto-the-minute overview of your financial

For example, assume you have a $1,000 credit card debt with a 12% interest rate.

By paying $20 each month, it would take 67 months to eliminate the debt and would cost you $353.43 in interest. But by doubling your monthly payment to $40, you would be out of debt in just 27 months. Your interest costs would be less than half--$103.28. Then, when you finish paying off your balance, redirect the money you’d been spending on debt each month to a savings or investment account.

Another way to tackle debt expenses aggressively is by consolidating credit card balances to a single, lower-rate card. Comparison shop for the best rates, but beware of “teaser” rates that start low then jump higher after an initial introductory period ends.

Boost contributions. If you participate in a workplace retirement plan, consider

GOD BLESS AMERICA

increasing your contribution by an additional 1% or 2% of income. Even if you think that may be too much, try it out for a few months. The extra effort could make a big difference down the road: Contributing even $20 extra each week could provide you with an additional $87,493 after 30 years (before taxes), assuming 6% annual investment returns.

Use windfalls wisely. While it may be tempting to spend a windfall--such as an inheritance or workplace bonus--on something fun, it’s probably a better idea to use the money to enhance your longterm financial standing. For example, assuming you invest a $2,000 windfall in an account earning a 6% annual rate of return, it could grow to $2,698 after 5 years, $6,620 after 20 years or $12,045 after 30 years (before taxes).

At Morgan Stanley, we can help you implement effective strategies for reducing expenses and set up customized savings and investment plans to help pursue your goals. Call me so we can talk about the best way to get started.
