Dear Friends, How well I remember summer vacation, taking road trips from New York to Kentucky to visit relatives or traveling up to Canada just because. We had a station wagon, so the configuration would be: my parents up front (Dad driving, always); my two brothers in the middle, each with his own window; and me in the back part with the parakeet. We took that bird everywhere and he loved it. This summer as you’re making plans for keeping your kids amused and occupied, perhaps you’ll also follow the advice in one article in this issue that outlines some local places to visit. Kentucky has many wonderful state parks and a beautiful
Health&Wellness is a proud product of
arboretum that you can put on your summer to-do list. Safety is a major concern year round, but you may need to brush up on swimming safety tips since so many of those “lazy, crazy, hazy days of summer” are spent poolside, lakeside or at the ocean, so be sure to check out the article on this subject. However you spend your vacation, remember to just have fun and enjoy your time together. Here’s to your health,

Keeping Kids Active in the Summer 5 outdoor activities to enjoy with your kids By Harleena Singh, Staff Writer Kids these days are heading down the path leading to a sedentary lifestyle, and that makes it important for adults to spark a passion for activity in them. This will keep their bodies, brains and development on track. Summer is the right time to get them moving. Here are five ways to encourage your kids to live and love an active and healthier lifestyle outdoors. 1. Summer camps Enroll your kids in local summer camps and programs. This is a great way to get them acquainted with the outdoors. Different organizations offer day and overnight camps, but be prepared to shell out some extra cash for private summer camps. 2. Baby pool or water sprinkler If your kids are still too small to go to the local swimming pool, you can install an inflatable pool in your back yard that is just their size. Sprinklers add to the enjoyment of cooling off in the summertime heat. Let your kids bring out cups, bowls, scoops, pitchers and anything else they can use to catch and pour water. 3. Educational tour of the zoo, aquarium and local parks These kinds of visits will help your kids learn about different animals, parks, fish and more. They can write down all that they observe and learn in a journal or take photos or make drawings. Even visiting the local farmers’ market can benefit your kids. They can meet the farmers and learn where their food comes from. Ask the farmers if they open their farms to visitors so your kids can learn even more.
4. Plant a garden of herbs and vegetables Besides being a cheap, long-term summer activity, gardening will teach your kids all about herbs and vegetables. They will be proud of their garden as it grows, though they will need the guidance of an adult, and relish tasting their produce. 5. Just be with your kids Get together with your kids and be active with them. The National Summer Learning Association recommends playing a sport at the local park, going for a walk or creating a scavenger hunt. Play follow the leader or hide and seek with your kids. You can even plan a family picnic right in your back yard, which can be a nice change for everyone. After eating, have fun playing a board game together. A tea party can be a good activity, too. The kids can participate in assembling the sandwiches and small snacks. Let them take out their tea sets and have fun serving you. Some more way to make learning fun with your kids includes building things together or volunteering at an animal shelter or other such places. The sky is the limit to keeping your kids active this summer. The more time they spend outdoors, the better it is for their overall development.

Vision and Close Work
LOOK UP ONCE IN A WHILE TO REST YOUR HARDWORKING EYES by Dr. Rick Graebe, FCOVD Family Eyecare Associates and Vision Therapy It is interesting to note how eyesight has evolved. The vision system used to be more about looking far afield for what could be hunted and eaten – and what could hunt and eat us. These days, people are spending more time with their gazes fixed on their computer or TV screens or cell phones. There are certain physical dynamics to this everyday phenomenon. There is a lens inside the eye that flexes and focuses, so when we look at things up close, that lens has to work extra hard. When you look at something in the distance, both eyes move in the same direction, but when you look at something close, your eyes’ pointing muscles have to cross to focus. To see the tiny letters on your phone, you have to be much more precise than when you’re looking at a tree. To keep both eyes turned in and pointed precisely is one of the most difficult things the eye-pointing muscles have to do. You are using the macula, which is located in the dead center of the retina. That extra precision requires extra effort from the eyes. Sometimes when you spend too much time reading or playing on your phone, you might feel headachy, sleepy or have trouble concentrating. Close work can cause eyestrain.
One way to combat possible eyestrain is to adhere to the “20-20-20” rule. When you’re working on your computer or watching videos or texting on your phone, be sure to look up every 20 minutes. Focus your eyes 20 feet away for 20 seconds to rest them. This is also a good time to roll your shoulders and neck to relieve the strain sitting can place on them. More and more children nowadays are already picking up the constantphone-watching habit. They also spend more time playing video games. A growing number of children in the United States (about 30 percent) are presenting as nearsighted. (It’s almost 50 percent in Asia.) The increased screen time is suspected. For children, the recommendation is to follow a “5-2-1” standard. Every day, children should eat five servings of fruits and vegetables. They should have no more than two hours total of screen time a day, including watching TV and playing video games. And they should spend at least one hour doing some type of physical activity, preferably outdoors. When children are just sitting there looking at a screen, they are not learning about their body and space. They need to explore, touch and feel so they can learn how to move in a threedimensional world. Children need to

get feedback from the sensory system through movement, touch and visual and auditory stimulation. This is critical for the development of spatial awareness. It’s up to parents to help children wean themselves from their electronic addictions. One way to do that is to be mindful of your own use of your phone, laptop, iPad and other devices and lay them aside once in a while to play outside with your kids.

Share your itinerary with someone – just in case.
Safe Camping
Have fun, but be prepared for emergencies By Jamie Lober, Staff Writer Some people love the great outdoors and are willing to pitch a tent in the nearest glade and set up a rustic campsite. Other people prefer to camp with all the comforts of home in an RV or trailer. (This is often called “glamping.”) Whatever your preference, being prepared is essential for a safe and successful camping trip.
“Being prepared for emergency situations is critical when people are out in remote areas with limited access to phone service, hospitals and emergency help,” said Don Lauritzen, communications officer with the American Red Cross. Safety starts with making sure you have everything you need. Create a checklist and consult it frequently as
you get ready for your trip. “Items to bring include nutritious food items and water; a first-aid kit, including sunscreen and personal medications; lightweight clothing to layer; and supplies for any pets,” Lauritzen said. Bug bites are a common occurrence when camping, Lauritzen said, though they are usually harmless. They may cause pain, swelling or an allergic reaction. “If someone is stung by an insect, you should remove any visible stinger,” Lauritzen said. “Scrape it away from the skin with a clean fingernail or credit card or use tweezers.” Wash the site with soap and water and cover it and keep it clean; apply a cold pack to the area to reduce pain and swelling. If the person has any

trouble breathing or shows signs of anaphylaxis, call 911 if possible. The best prevention is using insect repellent containing DEET. Check for ticks daily and remove them if you see any. Wearing long sleeves and long pants can help prevent picking up ticks, and light colors help you spot them better. Contemplate various issues that could arise so you have an action plan. “Make sure you have the skills you need for your camping adventure, like knowing how to read a compass, erect a temporary shelter or give first aid and practice your skills in advance,” Lauritzen said. “It is safest to camp with at least one companion, but if you will be entering a remote area, your group should have a minimum of four people.” Some areas require you to have reservations or certain permits, so find out in advance about these. Also ask about rules regarding campfires or wildlife. Share your itinerary with someone – just in case. “Include such details as the make, year and license plate of your car, the equipment you are bringing and when you plan to return,” Lauritzen said. Now that you’re prepared, make plans to be active and have fun during your trip. This may include walking, hiking, swimming or biking. Bring along protective gear such as helmets, life jackets, sturdy shoes and a survival pack. “In a small waterproof container, place a pocket knife, compass, whistle, space blanket, nylon filament, water purification tablets, matches and candle,” Lauritzen said. “With these items, the chances of being able to survive in the wild are greatly improved.” When you plan ahead and know what to expect, your camping trip will be both safe and fun.

Let Your Kids Stop and Smell the Roses at the Arboretum Take a Walk Across Kentucky By Thomas W. Miller Ph.D. ABPP, Staff Writer Are you looking for something that can provide your
children a very special opportunity? Something that at the same time will allow them to experience stimulating sensations? The place you seek is
right here in Lexington on the campus of the University of Kentucky. The Arboretum is Kentucky’s state botanical garden and includes the Home Demonstration Garden, the Rose Garden and the Fragrance Garden. Start your exploration with a stop at the Dorotha Smith Oatts Visitor Center, which is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. For kids, the Arboretum is a cool place.

out the seasons. In the gardens you’ll see a large and diverse community of plants from around the globe. Molly Davis, director of the Arboretum, said, “We partner with horticultural clubs and groups, university professionals and plant breeders to bring some of the newest selections of annuals, perennials, roses, trees and shrubs to the gardens at the Arboretum.” Especially for youngsters is the Kentucky Children’s Garden. Director Jackie Gallimore says it provides many benefits. “The Children’s Garden is a safe two-acre outdoor learning environment designed to help children as young as 2 years of age through teens gain an opportunity to discover plants and the environment,” she said. It features an integrated combination of various “child-scaled” theme gardens and garden-like elements for experiential play. The most popular features include the wading stream, a model train layout featuring Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends, a pioneer house for dramatic play and raised beds with fun themes. The gardens at the Arboretum are specifically designed to stimulate the olfactory and visual senses with the different plants’ fragrances, rich and varied colors, textures and leaf forms. They

serve as a classroom for educating the kids who visit. Another extraordinary feature is The Walk Across Kentucky. It was first planted in 1991 after extensive plant collection efforts in the 1980s, which sought to secure the botanical diversity from across the commonwealth and cultivate it in a common location for research and conservation efforts. The collection is a two-mile paved pathway that meanders through over 80 acres of native plantings representing the seven physiographic regions of the state. The collection is constantly expanding, currently including over 520 native species from 99 plant families and 2,500 trees and shrubs. Efforts have been made to further develop the interesting ecosystems found across Kentucky, including tallgrass prairies, wetlands, savannahs and glades. No arboretum would be complete without a rose garden. The one at the Arboretum has an extensive collection of over 1,200 different rose cultivars. Its mission is to showcase many different rose types and cultivars to inspire current and future rose growers. Included in the collection are Rugosa, Floribunda, Hybrid Tea, Polyantha, Climbers and Landscape roses. The rose garden contains two trial beds where American Garden Rose Selections and Star Roses are testing some of their newest plants for performance and disease resistance. The Fragrance Garden is lined with wooden columns covered in climbing roses. It has winding trails, rows of lavender and espaliered fruit trees. This garden’s Mediterranean feel makes it unique. It contains some of the arbo-
retum’s oldest heirloom roses and a wide assortment of herbs and other plants known for their fragrance. Other physical features in the gardens include vine- and rose-covered pergolas and a dry-laid stone wall. There is also a sculpture featuring 49 stainless steel birds in flight over a base of black granite. Created by Douwe Blumberg, the sculpture commemorates the people who lost their lives in the crash of Flight 5191 at Bluegrass Airport on Aug. 27, 2006. Located at 500 Alumni Drive in Lexington, The Arboretum is owned and operated by the University of Kentucky and the LexingtonFayette Urban County Government with the support of the Friends of The Arboretum. The grounds are open daily from dawn until dusk. Admission and parking are free. For general questions, call (859) 257-6955. Call (859) 257-9339 to learn about the Kentucky Children’s Garden.

Mind Body Studio 859.373.0033 | www.mindbodystudio.org 517 Southland Drive, Lexington
Yoga + Kids = Fun By John A. Patterson MD, MSPH, FAAFP Yoga can be fun and healthy for you and your kids – physically, mentally and emotionally. What is yoga? The word “yoga” means to yoke, unite, connect or join together. Yoga helps connect the body, mind, heart and emotions. It can also help connect you to other people, animals, trees and all of nature. We tend to think of physical movements and body postures when we think of yoga. Yoga looks like exercise, but its intent is very different. Physical hatha yoga is traditionally performed as a means of quieting the mind and cultivating single-pointed attention. Essentially, physical hatha yoga prepares you for meditation. Adults can approach yoga with their adult self or their inner child self. Remembering, honoring and attending to the little child inside the adult can be a very soothing experience. Mindful yoga can be an antidote to the hurrying and worrying that dominates modern life. In yoga, the mind can be quiet, peaceful and relaxed whether the body is moving or still. Yoga can be done strong and fast or gently and slowly. The following instructions will guide you or your child in mindful, gentle movements and postures. Throughout this sequence, remember to focus attention on the physical sensations in your body, returning your attention to them whenever you notice the mind has wandered off to attend to sounds, thoughts, planning for the future or remembering the past. Paying attention to the body will
ground your experience in the present moment. If you have any questions about the safety or appropriateness of this practice for you or your child, please consult your health care provider for advice. For the mindful yoga sequence below, you might try using a timer set for 15 minutes. Tree Pose and Puzzled Puppy Begin by standing tall like a tree, but without tight muscles. Relax the muscles of the thigh, jaw, neck, shoulders and back. To suit your comfort and balance, you can place your feet close together or step them about shoulder width apart. Imagine roots growing deep down from the bottom of your feet, connecting you to Mother Earth. Sense your intimate connection with the earth, from which every chemi-
cal constituent of your body came. Playfully and slowly stretch your neck, nodding the head up and down, as if you are saying, “Yes I want ice cream.” Slowly shake the head left and right, as if you are saying, “No, not spinach ice cream.” You know how a puppy will cock its head when it’s puzzled? Like a puzzled puppy, slowly take the left ear to the left shoulder, then the right ear to the right shoulder. Cobra Pose Now, lying on your belly, bring your feet and legs together. Place your hands beneath your shoulders, palms down on Mother Earth. Slowly raise your head, neck and shoulders like a cobra. Don’t press on the palms at first. Just breathe slowly and deeply once or twice. Then with a deep breath in, press with the palms to raise the chest up high. On the outbreath, slowly lower the chest, chin and head back down to Mother Earth. Cat, Cow and Down Doggy Now get on your hands and knees, arching the back like a cat by bringing the head and pubic bone toward each other. Then do just the opposite, swaying the back like a cow by taking the head and the tailbone up toward Father Sky. Then pressing on the palms, raise your hips high in the air, head between the arms, looking back at the feet in down doggy pose. Then get back on your hands and knees and wag your doggy tail back and forth, left and right. Smile and feel the smile spreading all over your body. Lion and Chicken Bending your knees, sit back on your legs and feet. Place your hands on your knees, sitting tall. Feel your strength inside you like the strength of a lion. Now breath in slow and deep. Open your mouth and breath out slow and long while roaring like a lion for one long breath. Next, stand up and
Like us
@healthykentucky
run in place in slow motion, then running even slower, imagining running in quicksand. Be thankful for your feet, ankles, knees and hips and all they help you do. Flap your arms like chicken wings, gradually slowing down the motion until you are flapping in slow motion. Drop your arms to your sides, being thankful for your shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, fingers and all they help you do. Realize how lucky you are and how grateful you are for your body. Laughing and Relaxing Lying on your back on Mother Earth, take in deep breaths and say “Ha-ha, ho-ho” with every outbreath. Smile as you repeat the syllables with several outbreaths. Breathe more and more slowly, eventually saying one long “ha” for the last few outbreaths. Finally, relax your whole body from head to toe, relaxing the legs from the tips of the toes up to the hips; relaxing the belly, chest and back; relaxing the arms from the tips of the fingers up to the shoulders, neck, jaw, lips, nose, eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, gums and tongue. Relax your entire body. Relax your breath. Relax the thoughts in your mind. Just relax – just lie there. Nowhere to go, nothing to do. Just relaxing, and noticing while relaxing that there is a special part of you that can observe your body relaxing, observe your breath relaxing, observe your thoughts relaxing and observe your mind relaxing. Now let even that special part of you relax – that part that observes the body, breath, thoughts and mind. Just relax for just a few minutes. After your practice ends, gradually return to normal activity, continuing to feel the benefits of this gentle, mindful yoga practice. Almost anyone, including children and the child inside adults, can benefit from simple, gentle, mindful yoga. Research shows properly supervised yoga, mindfulness and meditation classes can help manage stress, relax the body, quiet the busy mind and open the heart. They can also be great fun!

Kentucky Parks Are Full of Natural Treasures Summer is a great time to explore the commonwealth By Thomas W. Miller Ph.D. ABPP, Staff Writer Kentucky state parks offer countless treasures, from world-class rock climbing to the world’s longest cave system. Discover the first “gateway to the west” and the birthplace of one of America’s most revered presidents, all on more than 1 million acres of unspoiled wilderness. Here are some Kentucky sites that are overseen by the National Park Service: • Abraham Lincoln Birthplace, Hodgenville • Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, Whitley City • Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, Middlesboro • Fort Donelson National Battlefield, Dover • Trail of Tears National Historic Trail, Hopkinsville
Surely at the top of any visitor’s list is Mammoth Cave National Park. Mammoth Cave is the longest recorded cave system in the world. More than 348 miles of it have been mapped, making it at least three times longer than any other known cave. The Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area is a hidden treasure of outdoor fun and breathtaking scenery. Recreation offerings are wide ranging. There are over 130 miles of trails for horseback riding; two horse camps are located in the park. Fishing on the river is a big draw; smallmouth bass and bream are the main catches. Hunting, bird watching and wildlife viewing are other popular pastimes at Big South Fork. The Daniel Boone National Forest is the only national forest completely within the boundaries of Kentucky.
Established in 1937, it was originally named the Cumberland National Forest, after the core region called the Cumberland Purchase Unit. The Daniel Boone National Forest is a beautiful place to explore, embracing some of the most rugged terrain west of the Appalachian Mountains. Steep forested slopes, sandstone cliffs and narrow ravines characterize the land. Visitors come here to hike, camp, picnic, rock climb, boat, hunt, fish, ride, target shoot and relax. The forest contains three large lakes (Cave Run Lake, Laurel River Lake and Lake Cumberland), many rivers and streams, Clifty Wilderness, Beaver Creek Wilderness, Red River Gorge and the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail that extends across the length of the forest. It sprawls over 250,000 acres of Appalachian hills and spans over 800,000 acres total. The forest boasts covered bridges, camping sites, the Buckeye Trail for biking and walking and fishing and boating for water lovers. Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area is a vast and truly unparalleled natural treasure in southwestern Kentucky. It’s a special place for enjoying nature. As part of America’s great outdoors since 1963, Land Between the Lakes encompasses over 170,000 acres of forests, wet-
&
13
lands and open lands on a peninsula between Kentucky and Barkley lakes in Western Kentucky and Tennessee. Land Between the Lakes has one of the largest blocks of undeveloped forest in the eastern United States. With more than 300 miles of natural shoreline, lake access provides idyllic settings for camping, picnicking, hiking, fishing, boating, wildlife viewing and water sports. Children and families especially enjoy the Elk and Bison Prairie, the Homeplace 1850s Working Farm and Living History Museum, Woodlands Nature Station and star parties at the Golden Pond Planetarium and Observatory. The United Nations designated the recreation area as a Man of the Biosphere Reserve in 1991.There are over 200 miles of trails and abandoned roads for biking, horseback riding, offroad vehicles, hiking and exploring wildlife.

Summer Camp Send-Off
PACK AND PREPARE YOUR CHILD FOR AN EXCITING ADVENTURE By Dr. Susan Monahan Family Practice Associates of Lexington, P.S.C. With summer vacation looming, parents and kids are getting ready for camp. Many camps require attendees to have a pre-participation physical to make sure the child is ready to participate in all the camp activities, including swimming and hiking. Be sure to schedule any physicals with your doctor’s office in advance to fill out any forms. The camp needs to know about any medical conditions your child may have and/or medications he may be taking. You may also need to provide immunization records. Tell the camp directors about your child’s physical, mental, behavioral and emotional limitations; special dietary needs and food allergies; and any recent illnesses. The registration packet may have a form you need to sign to allow the camp to give treatment for minor medical problems, such as giving ibuprofen, Benadryl or topic solutions for bug bites and poison ivy. Usually the camp director or nurse will administer all medications in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions. You may also have to fill out a form allowing emergency medical treatment. Do not send an ill child to camp.
What should you pack? Most camps provide a list of items to bring. Pack more underwear than you think your child will use – accidents happen! A good rule of thumb is to have enough clothes to last one and a half times the number of days the child will be at camp. You may need to send bedding or pillows. Don’t forget to pack a toothbrush and toothpaste, soap, wash cloth, bath towel, comb, brush, shampoo, conditioner, pajamas and socks. If your child is attending a themed camp, such as a horseback riding or skateboarding camp, be sure to pack appropriate gear. Other items to pack include sunscreen, bug repellent, a swimming suit, goggles, a swim cap, a beach towel, a light jacket or sweatshirt, an umbrella and a flashlight with spare batteries. Pay special attention to the list of items that are NOT allowed at the camp, such as firearms, alcohol, drugs and electronic devices. Mark everything your child takes with his name or initials. While most kids are excited to go away from home for a while, some are anxious about being in a new place with kids they don’t know. How can you prepare your child to deal with this anxiety?
Talk with your child about what camp is like. Focus on the positive aspects. Emphasize the fun she’ll have and activities she’ll participate in. Answer all her questions and don’t belittle her fears. Perhaps she knows someone from school who will be attending the same camp and they can be buddies. Your child may want to take along a favorite stuffed animal or blanket for a touch of home. If, after all your pep talks, your child decides he doesn’t want to go to camp, respect that decision and take comfort in knowing as he matures, he’ll be more open to the idea of being away from
home. When you drop him off at the camp, don’t make a big scene as you leave. Just say, “Goodbye – have fun.” He will. About the Author Dr. Monohan, board certified in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, is married to a physician and has 3 children. She feels that being a parent helps her to relate better to the issues parents face today. She believes that being a pediatrician involves much more than just treating medical conditions and does her best to help parents raise well rounded, healthy children.

Swimming Safety for Kids Be careful, have fun, beat the heat By Harleena Singh, Staff Writer Having fun and beating the heat this summer may mean spending time with your kids swimming. However, before getting into the pool, lake or ocean, it is important to know about swimming safety and to take appropriate precautions to prevent any accident or injuries. “Keep in mind, drowning is silent,” said Chris Vitale, RN, MSN, injury prevention manager at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “Children younger than 4 should be within arm’s reach of an adult at all times, and children over the age of 4, even if they know how to swim, should always have an adult’s eyes on them.” According to experts, kids need to know how to swim. School-age kids can follow directions and listen, so working with a trained instructor or parent can boost their confidence in the water. Here are some swimming safety tips for kids:
• Introduce babies to water when they are around 6 months of age. Over time, teach them how to tread water and float and insist they stay near the shore. They should be made aware of river currents, uneven surfaces, ocean undertow and changing weather. • Never leave a small child unattended near water, and don’t trust a child’s life to another child. Teach kids to seek permission to go near the water. • Never let your child swim during a storm. • Swimming aids such as water wings or noodles are fun toys,
•
• • •
but they should not be used in place of a U.S. Coast Guardapproved personal floatation device (PFD). Don’t let your kids jump in water less than 9 feet deep, and no diving unless the water depth is 12 feet or more. No running, pushing or dunking. Don’t chew gum or eat when in the water. Always ensure there is a lifeguard on duty, whether you’re at the beach or pool. Check to make sure there is appropriate safety equipment handy, such as a ring buoy or reaching pole,
Never leave a small child unattended near water.
a cell phone, life jackets and a first-aid kit. • Swimming instructors should be trained in CPR and certified by the Red Cross or another reputable program. • Stay within arm’s reach of your child at all times. If there are many adults present when kids are swimming, use the Water Watcher strategy, which designates an adult as the Water Watcher for a certain time period to prevent lapses in supervision. • Ensure backyard pools have four-sided fencing that is at least 4 feet high and a self-closing, self-latching gate to prevent kids from wandering into the pool area unsupervised. Install alarms to alert you in case a child wanders into the pool area. Many kids who drown in home pools were out of sight for less than five minutes and in the care of one or both parents at the time.

Pre-planning Life Celebration Spares loved ones from emotional and financial pain by Kim Wade, Community Relations Director, Milward Funeral Directors If an accident would happen to cause your death today, would your loved one know how to arrange your funeral or life celebration? Who will notify family and friends? Have you discussed the type of visitation, funeral or memorial service you’d like to have with anyone? Do you know what casket or urn they would like? Do others know what your favorite song is? Is there a favorite outfit you’d want to wear? Do you want traditional burial or cremated? Do you have military benefits that might pay for part of the funeral? And the questions go on and on… “When a death occurs, survivors are naturally stunned, often emotionally devastated and find it difficult to make decisions when they are simply trying to cope with their loss,” said Jeanne Sledd, Senior Advance Planning Specialist at Milward Funeral Directors. “Making the decision to plan your funeral is a big decision, but it is a decision that loved ones will appreciate very much at the time of your death.” With an advance plan, all necessary and difficult decisions can be
made so families can devote their time and energy to the memory of their loved one, sharing sentiments and stories with each other, friends and associates during the visitation and celebration of life memorial service. If one does not plan for the inevitable end of their life, then one day a great deal of responsibility will be placed on the shoulders of a spouse or children for final arrangements and settlement of the estate. People buy life insurance to provide economic means for survivors. But money from life insurance doesn’t console survivors during their emotional pain from grieving. Lawyers draw up wills to ensure possessions in estates will be distributed according to our wishes. But an estate is not probated until after a funeral. “By taking the time now, to put one’s affairs in order for your funeral, loved ones can be spared emotional and financial burdens in the future,” Ms. Sledd said. Because we are living longer and our families are often scattered around the country, advance planning is the responsible gift that provides helpful guidance, emotional
support and required information to those who will survive us. A funeral or memorial service is an opportunity for family, friends and associates to gather, reflect upon and honor the meaning and impact of the life of a deceased loved one. It is a complex blend of religious, psychological, emotional, social and economic dimensions that are interrelated, but individual for each service. A funeral or life celebration, like a wedding, is a ceremonial event that must be planned to coordinate activities and people in a flowing sequence that will help to provide a positive lasting memory for everyone in attendance.
It is never too early to pre-plan your funeral or life celebration and you can always make changes to your plan if your circumstances change. About the Author Kim Wade has been a marketing consultant for more than 20 years specializing in the funeral industry. Currently, she is the Community Relations Director for Milward Funeral Directors, the 37th-oldest continuously operated family business in the United States which operates three locations in Lexington including its Celebration of Life center at 1509 Trent Boulevard. Kim can be reached at marketing@milwardfuneral.com or 859-252-3411.

Fun Day Trips to Take with Your Children
own library cards and check out books themselves. A weekly trip to the library can form a lifetime habit of reading.
LEARN, EXPLORE, ENJOY By TaNiqua Ward, M.S., Staff Writer With summer quickly approaching, you’re probably looking for familyfriendly activities in which everyone can participate. Instead of planning a big family vacation, you could choose to take a few fun day trips. These trips are usually less expensive and less time consuming than a full-out vacation. Enjoy a full day of activities provided by some of the local attractions in your city. To discover what is within your area, go online and search TripAdvisor or other Web sites that provide similar content. Look for discounts – a certain day of the week might be cheaper to go visit an attraction than another. Be sure you have all your necessities ready before you venture out: your tickets, snacks for the drive there and back and clothing suitable for whatever activity you may be doing, such as swimwear, hats
and sunscreen. Bring plenty of water, especially if you will be spending a lot of time outdoors. You need to stay hydrated. Here are a few attractions you can visit that are in most cities or just a short drive away: • Fire or Police Station Many fire and police stations offer free tours. Call your local fire or police department, tell them about your interest in touring the facility and set a date and time. This will allow children to have an educational experience as well as learn safety tips. • Library During the summer, many libraries have programs for children that entail storytelling, movies and crafts. Children can get their
• Waterpark or • Amusement Park The local waterpark or amusement park is the perfect place to go to let loose and have some fun, especially when it gets hot. Again, you’ll want to pack plenty of sunscreen and hats when you go and also bring water. • State Park Enjoy nature at a local state park. This is a wonderful way to bond with your family in the great outdoors. Pack a picnic and have lunch outside. Embark on a nature hike or bring your fishing poles if there’s a lake. You can even enjoy fun physical activities such as soccer or football or you can bring a board game or play cards.

tribute to successful socialization. Many museums offer free or discounted admission during certain hours or on certain days. • Zoo or Aquarium Explore wildlife by visiting the local zoo or aquarium. This is a wonderful learning experience that allows children to study animals in a simulation of their natural environments. There are many amazing places in your area your family can go explore for free or at a low cost. Check with your local chamber of commerce or visitors center for more ideas. This summer, make it your goal to get out of the house to learn about and explore your local area. Your children will have fun, and you will, too, as you watch them expand their horizons. The opportunities are limitless.
• Local Museums Learn some history by visiting a local museum. Let your children engage and educate themselves on a particular subject, period or area. Experiences such as a museum visit can become a meaningful part of a child’s identity and con-

Using the Library During the Summer HELP YOUR CHILD READ, LEARN AND GROW By TaNiqua Ward, M.S., Staff Writer A love of learning and reading will serve your child a lifetime. Reading is one of the essential school components that helps your child reach his or her full potential. Reading encompasses the essences of writing, vocabulary, learning and understanding. That is why it is so important for your child to enjoy reading. Libraries are a great way for children to discover reading. Most towns and communities have a local library. Many times the library is known as a main resource center. Children will enjoy getting familiar with the library and the services it has to offer. It’s great to get started as soon as possible. Library membership can start at a very young age as well. Here are a few steps to help you and your child have an enjoyable summer full of reading and learning: • Read to Your Child Regularly. Introduce your child to the world
of reading at a young age. Try to make reading part of your daily routine. Bedtime stories are always a great start for younger children, and incorporating books during the day as your child learns to read on her own is important as well. Find out your child’s interests and get a variety of books about them. • Visit Your Local Library. Take a visit to the local library. Talk to the children’s librarian about the programs that are offered there during the summer. Get the library’s summer calendar so you can stay up to date on all the upcoming events. • Get Your Child His Own Library Card. When your child is at the appropriate age, sign him up for his own library card. Having a library card teaches your children responsibility. They’ll have to keep up with the due dates and be

responsible for their books. • Let Your Child Select Her Own Books. It is important to give your child the independence to select her own books. She will pick something that fits her own interests or perhaps something she may be curious about. If a book she selects is not in her usual reading category, let her check it out anyway as long as it is age appropriate. This is part of the learning process. Make the library visit a regular outing for your children. It will enrich their learning and make certain areas of schoolwork more enjoyable since they have already been introduced to reading. Reading is an inexpensive activity that has endless rewards. As Dr. Seuss said, “The more you read, the more things you know. The more you learn, the more places you go.”
THE MORE YOU READ, THE MORE THINGS YOU KNOW.

F OD BITES
By Angela S. Hoover, Staff Writer Gluten-Free Diet & Diabetes Risk People who follow diets with little to no gluten were found to have a slightly higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes over a few decades, according to researchers at Harvard University School of Public Health. “We wanted to determine if gluten consumption will affect health in people with no apparent medical reasons to avoid gluten,” said Dr. Geng Zong, a Harvard University research fellow, at a meeting of the American Heart Association in Portland, Ore. on March 9. The researchers examined 30 years of medical data from nearly 200,000 patients. Just under 16,000 participants developed type 2 diabetes during this period, but those who ate the least gluten had a higher risk. Most of these individuals consumed no more than 12 grams of gluten each – the equivalent of two to three slices of wholemeal bread; the average was six to seven grams. Those in the top 20 percent for gluten intake were 13 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes compared to the bottom 20 percent who typically ate four grams of gluten each day, according to the survey. Other factors were taken into account, such as exercise habits, weight, typical caloric intake and family history of diabetes, yet lower gluten intake was still linked to type 2 diabetes risk. Although those with celiac disease need to follow a gluten-free diet, it has also become a trend among indi-
viduals who do not have celiac disease, so much so that a recent study published in the JAMA Internal Medicine journal last November found the number of Americans who say they’re gluten-free tripled from 2009 to 2014. The Science Behind the Magic of Honey Archeologists often find pots of honey that are thousands of years old, still preserved and unspoiled, in Egyptian tombs. There are a few other foods that can keep indefinitely in their raw state – salt, sugar, rice – but only honey can remain preserved in a completely edible form. A variety of factors work in perfect harmony to enable honey to have an eternal edible-ready shelf life and be medicinal. Honey is a sugar, and sugars contain very little water in their natural state, but they can easily suck in moisture if left unsealed; they are hygroscopic. Since honey is very low in moisture, very few bacteria or microorganisms can survive in it; they’re essentially smothered by the environment. This low-moisture quality is what gives honey its longevity. There has to be something else inside the honey or its container for it to spoil. Additionally, honey is naturally extremely acidic with a pH that falls between 3 and 4.5, and such levels of acid will kill off anything that tries to grow in it. Molasses, the byproduct of cane

sugar, is also extremely hygroscopic and acidic (about 5.5 pH), yet given enough time, it will spoil. Bees set honey apart from molasses in terms of shelf life. Bee stomachs have an enzyme called glucose oxidase that makes honey so resilient. When bees regurgitate the nectar from their mouths into the combs to make honey, this enzyme mixes with the nectar, breaking it down into byproducts called gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Honey has long been used for medicinal purposes because of the hydrogen peroxide and its thick texture, as recorded in Sumerian clay tablets. When honey is applied to a wound, it will draw out liquid that could cause infection while letting off minute amounts of hydrogen peroxide. The amount of hydrogen peroxide that comes off honey is exactly what is needed – it’s small enough to promote healing. The seal of a honey container is the final factor for honey’s durability. As long as it’s not unsealed in a humid environment and no water is added to it, it won’t spoil.

have been deemed safe by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Drug Administration this January. J.R. Simplot Company, self-described as one of the largest privately owned food and agro-business companies in the United States, has received permission to plant Ranger Russet, Atlantic and Russet Burbank potatoes this spring and sell them in the fall. They will be sold under the company’s Innate brand. They are designed to minimize bruising and black spots, as well as reduce the amount of a potentially carcinogenic chemical that develops when potatoes are cooked at high temperatures. These potatoes are also engineered to resist the water mold that caused the mid-19thcentury Irish potato famine, which killed 1 million people and caused another 1 million to emigrate. The potatoes will mostly be grown in Idaho and Wisconsin but will be sold across the nation as pre-cut and pre-peeled potatoes for hotel convention centers and restaurants. McDonald’s, Simplot’s oldest business partner, has rejected using these new potatoes.

Apricot
Fresh or dried, ancient fruit hits the spot By Tanya Tyler,
Editor/Writer
Remember the scene in “The Wizard of Oz,” where the Cowardly Lion, awaiting his turn before Oz the Great and Powerful, sings a song about courage and asks, “Who put the ‘ape’ in ‘apricot’?” Well, thankfully, no one did. Who would eat it then? Instead we have a juicy fruit that has been around since ancient times and is enjoyed either fresh or dried. You can also indulge in apricot brandy or jam. The word “apricot” comes from a term meaning “early ripening.” Apricots are related to peaches and nectarines. This fruit is a drupe; it has a centrally located single pit or stone surrounded by edible flesh. There is some dispute about whether the apricot originated from Armenia, China or India. It’s said Alexander the Great introduced the apricot to Greece. The Greeks called them “golden eggs of the sun.” English settlers who came to the New World in the 17th century brought the apricot to the colonies. Almost the entire U.S. commercial production of apricots is in California, whose climate suits them well. These trees came from seedlings carried to the West Coast by Spanish missionaries. Blending apricots with plums produces a hybrid called a plumcot, a pluot, an aprium or an apriplum. Apricots have been used medicinally through the ages. Apricot seeds were used against tumors as early as A.D. 502, and in England in the
1800s, apricot oil was also used to cure tumors, as well as ulcers. Apricots were once considered to be an aphrodisiac. Apricot kernels are a component in traditional Chinese medicine. Back in the early 1990s, there was much excitement over a substance in apricots called laetril. It was touted as a miracle possibility for curing cancer. But in 2011, researchers said the claim that laetrile had beneficial effects for cancer patients was not supported by sound clinical data. There have been reports of serious adverse effects from cyanide poisoning after laetrile use. Cyanogenic glycosides are found in

high concentration in apricot seeds. You should nevertheless nosh on apricots once in a while. They contain many good-for-you, potent plant antioxidants, some of which are hard to get from other foods. These include polyphenols, which have been linked to the reduction of heart disease, and carotenoids and xanthophylls, nutrients that purportedly protect eyesight from damage related to aging. (Regularly consuming fruit – three or more servings a day – is associated with a lessened risk of vision loss with aging.) Apricots are a healthy source of vitamin A, which is good for vision,
and vitamin C, which helps the body resist infectious agents and scavenges harmful free radicals. A single apricot will provide you with four to five grams of catechins, anti-inflammatory phytonutrients that can inhibit the activity of an enzyme called cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which causes inflammation. Apricots are a good source of dietary fiber, boosting digestive health. Half of that fiber is soluble and that helps control blood cholesterol levels. Apricots contain the minerals potassium, iron, zinc, calcium and manganese. Go ape for apricots!

Rick also had Hypertension, High Cholesterol and Obesity, weighing over 246 lbs. After just 4 MONTHS.. his A1c went from 9.2 to 7.1, and is NOW 6.7. Rick is OFF all meds for Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension and Cholesterol, and he’s lost over 70 pounds! Q: Rick, why did you go to Dr. Miller? A: “I heard of Dr. Miller and the results he gets. My Type 2 Diabetes was terrible and my health was getting worse. For 15 years I treated Type 2 Diabetes and was doing 7 oral drugs and 4 injections daily. My A1c was 9.2 and climbing. I had High Blood Pressure and I really needed to lose weight, but couldn’t.” Q: You’ve been seeing other medical doctors for your Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension, what about Dr. Miller was different? A: “Dr. Miller made it clear, something was not working correctly in my body. He said his approach is to uncover and reveal exactly what that is. Dr. Miller really takes the time to listen and looked at my whole health history. He makes it clear that Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension and Obesity are being caused by something. My other doctors just didn’t take the time to do this, they never even talked about what was causing any of these. The other doctors just gave me more and more medications. I knew these were just masking symptoms and not fixing anything. Dr. Miller makes complete sense.” Q: What does Dr. Miller do to find out what’s not working correctly inside your body? A: “Dr. Miller doesn’t mess around. He has an amazing blood panel lab he orders through Lab Corp. After he gets the results, he
does a ‘Functional Medicine’ computer assessment that uncovered exactly what was causing my Type 2 Diabetes and High Blood Pressure. It is very impressive." Q: After Dr. Miller finds what is not working correctly, what’s he do? A: “Dr. Miller just goes over everything so I understood. He takes the time to make sure I understood how it needed to be corrected. He takes the time to show exactly what needs done and what type of natural treatment he recommends to fix what is causing Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension and Obesity. It all makes perfect sense once you see everything in very clear terms.” Q: Rick, what RICK FLANNERY, BEFORE AFTER TRUE HEALTH SOLUTIONS TREATMENT did Dr. Miller 7.1, and is NOW 6.7, after treating and Cholesterol and I’ve now lost recommend for it for 15 years on medications.

MAKERS Common Bacteria Can Destroy Deadly Mosquitos Music Matters for Men Playing Board Games Scientists from the Centre for Performance Science, Imperial College London and the Royal College of Music say classical music may be the best option for men when they are concentrating on a task. Wearing headphones, 352 Imperial Festival visitors at the annual science celebration played the game Operation. One of three tracks were played during the game: “Andante from Sonata for Two Pianos” by Mozart; “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC; or the sound of an operating theater. The research team timed how long it took the participants to remove three body parts and tracked their mistakes. The men who listened to AC/ DC were slower and made more mistakes compared to men who listened to Mozart or the operating theater tracks. “Thunderstruck” triggered about 36 mistakes on average, whereas the sonata and operating theatre noises caused 28. Music had no effect on women’s performance or speed and they generally performed better than the men; they took longer to remove the body parts but made fewer mistakes than the men. Although they are not sure why rock music affected the men more than the women, the researchers theorize rock music causes more auditory stress – a state triggered by loud or discordant music – in men. “Although this study is clearly tongue-incheek and was all performed in our spare time, it is part of our wider research into the effect of music on performance, particularly in a medical setting such as an operating theater,” said lead author Dr. Daisy Fancourt. Music is reportedly played up to 72 percent of the time in an operating theater, she said. Experts remain divided about whether it has a beneficial effect. The study was published in the December issue of the Medical Journal of Australia and won top prize for “quirky yet scientifically rigorous research.”
Researchers at Yale University and Vanderbilt University have isolated a pair of bacterial genes that could effectively make mosquitos sterile. Genetically engineered male mosquitos infected with Wolbachia bacteria could be introduced into the natural population. Once they mate with females, their eggs would die, causing the disease-carrying mosquito population to crash.
Possible Cause of Severe PMS An abnormal gene expression could be the cause of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), also known as severe PMS, say scientists at the National Institutes of Health. PMDD greatly amplifies the emotional elements of regular PMS, with extreme bouts of depression, anger and anxiety that are so deep and persistent they may interfere with school, work, home life and relationships. PMDD only affects 2 percent to 5 percent of menstruating women. Studies in the 1990s found PMDD sufferers are hypersensitive to menstrual-related fluctuations in steroid hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, but until now it was not known from where this hypersensitivity stemmed. A large group of genes called the ESC/E(Z) complex works overtime in women with PMDD. This gene complex tells genes how to respond to changes in the internal and external environment. Any hypersensitivity in this gene complex can cause dramatic overreaction to hormonal changes. “This is a big moment for women’s health,” co-author and neuro-geneticist David Goldman wrote. “It establishes that women with PMDD have an intrinsic difference in their molecular apparatus for response to sex hormones – not just emotional behaviors they should be able to voluntarily control.” The findings were published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.
