Issue # 472 October 1, 2013 Autumn Quinoa Porridge This hearty porridge combines oats and quinoa for a healthy breakfast boost of fiber and protein. Diets that include fiber-rich whole grains lower risk of colorectal cancer and may promote healthy blood cholesterol levels. Autumn staples like apples, maple syrup and cinnamon infuse the porridge with natural sweetness and your kitchen with the aroma of the season. A sprinkling of flaxseed adds an extra boost of nutrition. Creamy Quinoa Oat Porridge 1/2 cup quinoa 1¾ cups water 1/8 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk 1/2 cup apple cider 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup quick cooking steel-cut oats 1/2 Granny Smith apple, cored, peeled, and shredded 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 Tbsp. dark maple syrup 3 Tbsp. ground flaxseed, optional In medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 1¾ cups water, and salt. Cover, bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 15 minutes. Off heat, let quinoa stand for 5 minutes. Set 1/2 cup of quinoa aside. Transfer the rest to a container and refrigerate for up to 3 days for another use. In medium saucepan, combine almond milk, cider and 1/2 cup water, and bring to a boil. Immediately stir in oats, and add cooked quinoa, grated apple and cinnamon. Simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring several times during the first 10 minutes, then frequently during the final 5 minutes to minimize sticking. Divide porridge among 3 bowls. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of maple syrup over each serving. Sprinkle on 1 tablespoon of the flax seed, if using. Serve immediately. Makes 3 servings (2½ cups total). Per serving: 261 calories, 5 g total fat (<1 g saturated fat), 47 g carbohydrate 8 g protein, 3 g dietary fiber, 172 mg sodium.

The Middle School Revs Up for Make a Difference Day Kira Rumpp shared this recipe as a special Unite for Her treat in the Faculty Room. “ It’s incredibly simple and it tastes so good! “

Summer Quinoa Salad 4 cups cooled quinoa or whole grain couscous ½ cup diced red onion 1 cup chopped bell peppers (use red, orange, or yellow) 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes 1 cup black beans 1 cup grilled or fresh corn kernels 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar Juice of one line (zest is optional) ¼ cup chopped parsley (or cilantro) Salt and pepper to taste Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and serve. To cook quinoa: Rinse quinoa well. Combine 1 part quinoa with 2 parts water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil then cover. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Healing properties of quinoa: Anti-inflammatory. Known as a complete protein. Great for vegetarians! Source: Cancer Fighting Kitchen Book

The Perfect Lunch for You and Your Kids Entrées should be accompanied by a fruit or veggie side. These could include carrots with red pepper hummus, celery sticks with veggie cream cheese, apple slices with peanut butter or a cup of yogurt with fresh fruit slices. To make healthy lunches that appeal to your kids, consider the following tips. According to recently published data by the National Institute of Health, twothirds of teenagers eat less than one serving of fruits and vegetables a day. Adults fare no better, as less than 30 percent consume the recommended daily number of servings. Those numbers are concerning because we all know the health benefits associated with diets high in produce: slimmer bodies, healthier lifestyles and reduced likelihood of chronic illness. And diets that include plenty of fresh vegetables have also been shown to help improve children’s academic performance. To achieve those results, teenage girls should be eating 1½ cups of fruit and 2½ cups of vegetables every day. Boys should be eating half a cup more of each per day. These numbers apply to most adults as well. For adults and children alike, lunches should include an entrée made up of protein, whole grains and a vegetable. Suggestions include turkey pitas, bean and potato tacos, corn chips with a black bean and cheese dip, and that old mainstay: the sandwich.

Let your children choose vegetables at the store or from the fridge, as they will be more likely to eat what they’ve picked out themselves. Help your kids plant and grow a small herb garden. Most herbs are easy to maintain, and your children will be eager to see their plants included in meals. Take the hands-on involvement concept even further by helping them chop vegetables and prepare their own lunches. You could also take your kids to a farmer’s market or even a farm or orchard to stimulate their interest in food production and give them access to the freshest, tastiest fruits and vegetables. Finally, find out about the dietary habits of your children’s role models. Point out that most actors and athletes take really good care of themselves by maintaining a super-healthy diet.

Breast Cancer Prevention When breast cancer starts out, it is too small to feel and does not cause signs and symptoms. As it grows, however, breast cancer can cause changes in how the breast looks or feels. Symptoms of breast cancer include lumps in the breast or underarm area, thickening, swelling, flaking, irritation and unexplained redness of the breast areas. Nipple discharge other than breast milk is also a symptom. Regular mammograms are the best tests doctors have to find breast cancer early, sometimes up to three years before it can be felt. When their breast cancer is found early, many women go on to live long and healthy lives. But because variables like heredity and lifestyle can influence the likelihood of developing breast cancer, women are encouraged to ask their doctors for a formal estimation of their risk. Aside from mammograms, general lifestyle changes women can adopt to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer include limiting alcohol intake, controlling weight and engaging in regular exercise.

DID YOU KNOW Breast cancer is the fifth leading cause of death in women age 40 or above, behind heart disease, stroke, lung cancer and other lung diseases.

How to Find Your Perfect Gym All gyms are not created equal. While most gyms provide the same set of essential services, there are many important differences in specialization and availability. Here are some tips to keep in mind when choosing a gym that’s right for you: Match your goals—A gym that specializes in lots of muscle sculpting equipment isn’t going to help much if you are trying to lose weight and start a cardio program. Before signing a contract, seriously consider your fitness goals and what services you need to achieve them.

Shop around—Take advantage of day passes and prospective member programs to see what each gym has to offer before making a final decision. Many let you attend exercise classes where you can observe how much individual attention participants get from the instructor. Also be sure to compare the availability of machines, free space, lockers, mirrors and water fountains.

Location, money, time—The best gyms in the world aren’t going to help you if they are too out-of-the-way for to you to travel to them regularly, or if they are only open when you’re unable to work out. It also won’t help if getting a membership is beyond what you can reasonably afford. Finding a gym that is both convenient and affordable for you will go a long way towards helping you meet your fitness goals.

Halloween Savings Unlike most holidays, Halloween has little in the way of obligations and a lot in the way of fun. Like most holidays, however, Halloween can be expensive, leaving its mark on your bank account long after the costumes have been mothballed and the pumpkins discarded. This year, use the following suggestions to maximize your fun while minimizing your expenses. Discount and ration candy. Bulk stores and Internet shopping sites often offer deals on large purchases. Bulk hard candy is generally the cheapest buy on the market. Limit your handouts to one or two pieces per trick-or-treater to make supplies last. Buy pumpkins close to Halloween. Buying a pumpkin on or just before Halloween will come with significant savings and will keep it from decaying by the time the big night arrives. Make your own decorations. Lots of leaves in your yard? Pick up pumpkin trash bags to make pumpkin decorations. Use spray-painted cardboard or cereal boxes to form makeshift tombstones. Fashion cotton balls or quilt padding into cobwebs. There are a plethora of frugal shortcuts available once you start getting creative. Improvise costumes. Why pay a bunch of money for an outfit that will only be worn once? Refashion old clothes and items to dress like an iconic figure. Scour thrift stores to complete your ensemble on the cheap. Parents can also swap children’s costumes to prevent having to buy new materials every year.

Chicken Vegetable Soup With Kale This flavorful soup combines the succulent taste of chicken with the heartiness and healthiness of kale and roasted vegetables to form the perfect dinner for chilly October nights. 4 tsp. vegetable oil 1 cup onion (chopped) 1 cup carrot (chopped) 2 tsp. ground thyme 4 garlic cloves (minced) 4 cups water or chicken broth 1½ cups tomatoes (diced) 2 cups cooked skinless chicken (cubed) 1 cup cooked brown or white rice 2 cups kale (chopped) Heat oil in a medium saucepan. Add the onion and carrot, sautéing until vegetables are tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and thyme and sauté for an additional minute. Add water or broth, tomatoes, cooked rice, chicken and kale. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Yield: 6 servings. Each serving provides 180 calories, 5g of fat, 1g of saturated fat, 40mg of cholesterol, 85mg of sodium and 3g of fiber. Source: USDA

Start planning for next year. After Halloween ends, large discounts are available at many stores for costumes and decorative items, so plan a shopping trip right after Oct. 31 to save big on next year’s festivities.

Sprains & Strains How they differ and how to prevent and treat them What do you do when you twist Though sprains and strains are

Treatment Management of both sprains and strains follows the “PRICE” principle:

common injuries, not everyone

P – Protect from further injury

an ankle or pull a muscle?

knows how to prevent or treat them. Read on to find out. What are Sprains and Strains? A sprain is a stretch or tear of a ligament, which are strong bands of tissue that connect one bone to another at a joint. A strain is damage to muscle fibers and/or tendons, which are cords of tissue that attach the muscle to the bone. Other names for a strain include torn muscle, muscle pull and ruptured tendon. Sprains are caused by direct or indirect trauma, such as a fall, that knocks a joint out of position. Strains are caused by overusing muscles, often without resting the muscles enough. Some strains are caused by a direct blow or overstretching. The severity of the injury can be classified by the amount of tissue tearing, joint stability, pain and swelling. The more pain, swelling and instability, the more severe the injury is.

R – Rest, or restrict activity I – Apply ice C – Apply compression E – Elevate the injured area This principle limits the amount of swelling at the injury and improves the healing process. Splints, pads and crutches will protect a joint or muscle from further injury when appropriately used (usually for more severe sprains or strains). Activity restriction (usually for 48-72 hours) will allow the healing process to begin. During the activity restriction, gentle movement of the muscle or joint should be started. Ice should be applied for 15 to 20 minutes every hour to hour and a half. Compression, such as an elastic bandage, should be kept on between icing; you may want to remove the bandage while sleeping, though keeping

it compressed even during the night is best. Elevating the limb will also keep the swelling to a minimum. Prevention The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons has developed the following tips to help reduce your risk of injury:  Build muscle strength in a conditioning program  Stretch daily  Always wear shoes that fit properly  Eat a well-balanced diet  Warm up before any activity, including walking  Use protective gear appropriate for the sport or activity

Did you know...? If you cannot put weight on the limb or it gives way, or you suspect you have more than a mild injury, you should consult with a health care provider.

Health and wellness tips for your work, home and life—brought to you by the insurance specialists at The Reschini Group

Children’s Safety: Vehicle Precautions Avoid a preventable tragedy As safe as your vehicle may feel to you, it can be very dangerous for a child. It’s important to familiarize yourself with the hazards vehicles can pose. Driveway Accidents Thousands of children are injured every year after being hit by a vehicle backing up or parking. According to Safe Kids USA, about half of these children are between the ages of 1 and 4. To prevent the unthinkable, follow these guidelines: • Before you start your car, walk around it and look for toys, pets or children in the vicinity. • Back up very slowly and roll your window down to listen for children. • Teach your children safe places to go when they see a moving vehicle – for example, the front yard or porch. • Very young children should always be supervised outside. Hot Weather Safe Kids USA reports that more than 30 children die every year because they are left in a hot car. It’s simple: Do not leave children in the car, no matter what the temperature. Even a mild day can become hot very quickly inside a closed car – even if the window is cracked open. A child’s core body temperature rises three to five times faster than that of an adult, which can actually lead to death.

Another concern: San Francisco State University found that onethird of all children left in a closed, parked car were done so by accident. This may occur when an adult changes his or her driving routine or is so preoccupied that he or she temporarily forgets the child is in the car. Unfortunately, this mental lapse can have devastating consequences. Remember these tips to keep children safe: • If you ever see a child alone in a car, call 911. • Place an item you will need (your cell phone, a handbag or jacket) in the backseat next to your child. • Make a habit of checking the backseat before you lock your car.

Car Entrapment Your children may find your vehicle an attractive play spot. These suggestions may just save a child’s life: • Always lock your vehicle, including the trunk. • Remind children that vehicles are not to be used to play in or around. • Store keys/remote devices in areas out of reach of children. • If your vehicle’s trunk is equipped with an emergency trunk release, show your children where it is and how to operate it. • If a child goes missing, check vehicles immediately.

Schedule Changes If you know you will be changing your daily driving routine, put a note in the front seat or set an alarm on your cell phone to remind yourself that your child needs to be dropped off. Ask your sitter, day care facility or school to call you if your child has not shown up on time.

Did you know...? If you’re driving an SUV or truck, remember that the blind spot behind your vehicle can be especially large. Use extra caution!
