BEST HEALTH GUiDE
T
here is no doubt that we are fortunate to live on the North Shore. With the ocean on our doorstep and the mountains in our backyard we are surrounded by nature and opportunities to explore it. This proximity leads to a high level of participation in an incredible range of activities. Golf, kayaking, cycling, skiing, hiking, the list goes on and on and with it so do the number of people enjoying them. This level of activity is what helps make the North Shore such a healthy place to live. In this community the alarming increase in obesity that plagues so many cities doesn’t appear to be occurring. With seemingly unlimited fitness options and an abundance of food stores carrying an ever-increasing amount of healthy choices we have a great foundation for a sustainable healthy lifestyle. With all these fitness pursuits there are bound to be a few injuries and fortunately there is plenty of help available. The North Shore has lots of exceptional health practitioners on hand to assist in your recovery. Acupuncture treatments to Zumba lessons and everything in between are offered on a regular basis across the North Shore. Wellness centres are nearby and easily found, each one hosting a range of treatment options. Individual practitioners in a wide range of fields are ready to help no matter what the cause of your problem. We are hoping to bring our community together with these resources through our Best Health Guide. Stay healthy.

Practice medication safety... especially around children A cancer diagnosis is seldom easy for the person receiving the news or his or her loved ones. Cancer treatment often involves weeks of intensive medical therapy that can include radiation, chemotherapy and oral medications. In the wrong hands, the same drugs can prove poisonous, especially to young children. Childproof bottles are seldom enough. Very often adults forget to close the lids properly. Tenacious children can sometimes figure out how to get lids off of
bottles even if they are touted as childproof. Cancer patients taking medication might want to employ some additional safety measures in order to protect young children. • Do not advertise medication use to your children. Take pills away from curious eyes so that youngsters are not tempted to try Mom or Dad’s medicine, which for all intents and purposes, looks like candy to a child. • Store medications high up, ideally in a

Remain • Dispose of pills in careful when returning an outside garbage pill containers to receptacle so that these locked cabinets children or pets cannot after use. find them and swallow them. • Use individual-dose cases, many of which • Never store pills in can be locked with a a container other key or a combination than the prescription code.

be resuscitated.This document must be signed by you and a doctor and witnessed by others. • Decide on the duration of care. Hospice care generally lasts six months. This enables a long stretch of palliative care. Should you live beyond the time period, hospice care can continue. Studies have shown that patients who receive hospice care for at least 30 to 60 days gain greater benefit than those who are placed in hospice only in their final days. • Investigate financial options for hospice.
Medicare and Medicaid provide hospice coverage in 44 states. Many private insurance plans have a hospice benefit as well. Understand how payment is made to figure out if private funding will be necessary. Not all hospice programs are the same. Certain core models of care are followed by many hospice facilities, but options vary. Hospice can provide comfort in a person’s final days and help sufferers better enjoy life and time spent with loved ones in these last days. METRO CREATIVE

How to make smart food choices when wearing braces Getting braces is a rite of passage for many children. When braces are in place, it helps to know the dos and don’ts of maintaining braces, including which foods can be comfortably eaten and which should be avoided. Hard foods, such as nuts, ice cubes, apples, and crunchy crusts, can damage the fragile components of the braces. Sticky foods, such as caramel, gummy candies, gum, and taffy, can pull apart braces or get wrapped around the hardware, making for a difficult time cleaning the teeth. Similarly, sweet foods, including some
fruits that are high in sugar, can feed bacteria on the teeth. Braces make it more difficult to clean the teeth effectively, so consuming excessive amounts of sugar may result in decay. Small foods also can become lodged in between brackets and wires. When such foods are not removed, they can promote bacteria growth and cavities. When eating, cut foods into bite-sized pieces to avoid having to bite down into them. Many foods, such as chicken wings, ribs or corn on the cob, can be enjoyed
by those wearing braces so long as they are eaten with a fork. Apples also can be sliced and eaten. Here are the foods that you may want to avoid for the duration of your time wearing braces: • Hard pizza crust • Popcorn • Bagels • Hard candies • Chips and other crunchy snacks • Peanut brittle • Nuts • Raw carrots • Pretzels • Candy • Gum • Beef jerky • Hard tacos
• Soda and sugary soft drinks Some people wear braces for a few months, while others must wear them for a few years. Keeping teeth clean and avoiding problem foods promotes dental health and makes maintenance less difficult. METRO CREATIVE

Did you know? According to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Though Crohn’s disease belongs to a group of conditions known as Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, or IBDs, it is not, despite similar symptoms, the same thing as ulcerative colitis. Symptoms of Crohn’s disease can vary depending on the individual, but some of the more common symptoms include persistent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, urgent need to move bowels, abdominal cramps and pain and constipation. While diet and stress can aggravate Crohn’s disease, the causes of the disease remain unknown, though the CCFA notes that recent research suggests hereditary and environmental factors contribute to the development of the disease. Did you know these about these 5 fabulous ingredients for your pet’s diet? We’ve all heard about super foods that we should be adding to our diet because of their antioxidant and nutrient-rich properties, but did you know there are similar foods for our pets, too? •P umpkin We know that pumpkins are great for carving and delicious in pies, but pumpkin also is a source of fiber for pets that is high in vitamin A and beta-carotene. •C ranberries For many of the same reasons that they are good for humans, cranberries also are good for our pets. They are high in anti-oxidants and also are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K and manganese, which aids in pet urinary tract health. •P apaya This delicious and exotic tropical fruit is rich in vitamin B, which aids in cell metabolism, and contains papain, an enzyme that can help in a pet’s digestion. •C hickpeas Many of us enjoy chickpeas in salads, hummus and falafel balls. They also are good for our pets because they are rich in prebiotics, which stimulate the activity of bacteria in the digestive system and aid healthy digestion. •C ottage cheese This versatile food is a good source of riboflavin, calcium, phosphorus and selenium for our pets. Cottage cheese contains only small amounts of lactose, so a very small amount would not be an issue for intolerant dogs. METRO CREATIVE
