A HEALTHY START These days, the word “health” has countless definitions, from the physical to the psychological, and everything in between, depending on an individual’s concerns and goals. At the end of the day, quality of life and general well-being come in a multitude of ways. We’ve kept that diversity of needs in mind as we put together the 2016 Best Health Guide for our readers in New Westminster. From community health services to medical professionals, advice on getting active and ideas about nutritious food, we’ve got it covered in these pages. Whether you’re just starting to explore a new healthier life, or you’re well on your way, we hope this guide will help you explore, discover and learn – and most of all, inspire you – to continue down the path.

NEW PARENTS
SQUEEZING IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY New parents face a host of challenges upon bringing their bundles of joy home for the first time. One of those challenges is altering their lifestyles so they can more capably tend to their child’s needs. Though expecting parents no doubt anticipate changing their lifestyles to accommodate their growing families, few may know the specifics of how their lifestyles will change. Though each couple is different, many couples see their exercise habits change dramatically upon the birth of their child. A 2011 study from researchers at the University of Minnesota found that both mothers and fathers had lower amounts of physical activity compared with nonparents. Mothers who participated in the study reported engaging in 2.36 hours of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, or MVPA, per week, while women without children reported engaging in 3.19 hours of MVPA per week. The disparity was even greater among fathers, who reported getting 5.33 hours of MVPA per week compared to 6.89 hours of MVPA per week for men without children. Finding time to exercise can be difficult for anyone. But new parents may find it especially difficult to get daily physical activity. While the following ideas may not replace the vigorous workouts new parents are accustomed to, they may help men and women maintain healthy body weights. • SKIP SHORTCUTS. Physical activity can be embraced just about anywhere. Though you may be used to daily workouts at the gym, such excursions may no longer fit into your schedule. To counter your reduced hours at the gym, skip the shortcuts you have grown accustomed to taking. For example, take the stairs up to your office instead of the elevator and park further away so you can squeeze in some cardiovascular exercise.
4
Skipping shortcuts is a great way to burn calories and can help you maintain a healthy weight even if you are no longer pushing yourself to the limit at the gym each day. • SPREAD YOUR WORKOUTS OUT OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY. Many people tend to get all of their daily physical activity in one fell swoop. But that’s mainly done for convenience and not necessarily effectiveness. Workouts can still be effective if you spread them out over the course of the day. Exercising in small intervals throughout the day may help you maintain your energy throughout the day, and that should be especially appealing to parents of newborns. Squeeze in a quick workout each time your child naps throughout the day, and do your best to meet your daily quota while your spouse is tending to the baby. • CONTINUE SETTING FITNESS GOALS. Once your child comes home, it’s easy to fall into a routine that does not include exercise. But your long-term health depends on a host of factors, including how physically active you are. Keep setting fitness goals even if it seems like you will have no time once your child is born. These goals can motivate you to find time for exercise no matter how much your lifestyle has changed. • TAKE YOUR CHILD ALONG. When the weather permits, include your child in your exercise routine by taking the baby along with you on walks or bike rides. Purchase a fitness stroller so you can continue to jog even while you look after your child. New parents need not abandon their exercise routines upon welcoming their child into the world. A concerted effort on the parts of moms and dads can ensure they continue to get adequate exercise each day.

WORK LIFE BOOST ENERGY AT THE OFFICE Maintaining energy throughout the workday can sometimes be difficult. For busy professionals, compromised energy levels can be especially problematic, causing workers to fall behind and maybe even forcing them to work extra hours just to catch up. While infrequent days of low energy should not pose too great a threat, working professionals who routinely find their energy levels sagging by the end of the workday might want to take certain steps to boost their energy and ensure their productivity doesn’t wane. • MAKE SURE YOU’RE GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP. Failing to get adequate sleep can have an adverse impact on your career. According to the Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School, failure to get enough sleep, even for just one night, can impair a person’s ability to function by affecting his or her ability to focus and access high-level cognitive functions. A panel of experts from sleep, anatomy and physiology, as well as pediatrics, neurology, gerontology and gynecology convened by the National Sleep Foundation in 2015 recommended adults between the ages of 26 and 64 get between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. Make a concerted effort to get more sleep if you’re falling short of those recommended guidelines. • EAT A PRODUCTIVITY-FRIENDLY LUNCH. If afternoons are when your productivity really starts to drop off, it might be time to reconsider what you eat for lunch. The body, which converts the foods we eat into glucose that energizes our brains and promotes alertness, processes different types of foods differ-
6
ently. So the food you eat for lunch may affect your energy levels for the rest of the day. For example, eating pasta provides a quick burst of energy because pasta releases glucose quickly. But that burst is often followed by a noticeable downturn in energy levels sparked by fading glucose levels that make it difficult for the brain to focus. In contrast, fruits and vegetables aid in the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps the brain stay motivated and engaged. Including some fruits and vegetables in your lunch or snacks may just lead to a more productive workday. • SQUEEZE IN A MIDDAY WORKOUT. Numerous studies have shown the many benefits to daily exercise, but professionals may not know that exercise can help improve their productivity at the office. A 2005 study from researchers at the then-named Leeds Metropolitan University in England asked 200 workers to answer questions regarding their productivity on days when they exercised at lunchtime and days when they did not exercise. Sixty percent said their job performance, including their ability to meet deadlines and manage their time, improved by a considerable amount on the days when they exercised. • LIMIT CAFFEINE CONSUMPTION. According to the Mayo Clinic, consuming more than 500 to 600 milligrams of caffeine per day can contribute to insomnia and lead to feelings of nervousness, restlessness and irritability, among others. While that afternoon cup of coffee might provide an immediate jolt, it could be contributing to sleeping problems that will affect your productivity in the days to come.

FITNESS A FAMILY AFFAIR
CHRISTINA MYERS, CONTRIBUTING WRITER
When it comes to kids and healthy food, sometimes a parent needs to get a little sneaky: shred some zucchini into the spaghetti sauce, make muffins with apple puree instead of oil, or make up cool names for foods they might reject (my favourite is Elf Shrubs for broccoli – it works!) The same is true for physical fitness – with the draw of video games, Netflix and endless indoor options, sometimes you have to turn fitness into fun to get everyone moving. Here’s a few ideas to get everyone moving, from the youngest tot, to the oldest grandparent, together as a family: • DO SOME GEOCACHING: Haven’t heard of this? It’s basically a modern treasure hunt. Small “caches” are hidden all over the place by fellow geocachers, who then upload coordinate information to websites online. Use the GPS on your phone to track down the coordinates and find the treasure – then return it to its location for the next adventurers. Kids won’t even realize how much walking they’re doing as they hunt for the goodies. A quick google search will lead you to countless geocache sites in Burnaby and New West. • BIKE RIDE: It’s simple but effective. If you’re nervous about traffic, load up the bikes and head to somewhere with trails specifically intended for cycling, or simply to a quieter neighbourhood. Don’t forget helmets – for everyone, not just the kids!
• WILDLIFE WATCHING: Get some binoculars and head out to the parks or anywhere along the water’s edge to see what kind of birds, fish, and critters you can spot. Spend some time beforehand learning online what kind of animals are in the area – make up a checklist or bingo sheet for the kids, and turn the hunt into a game. • GROUP LESSONS: Many swim facilities offer group family swim lessons. We often get the kids into swim lessons, but it may be a good time for grown-ups to brush up on water skills, too. Plus, you get to do it together as a family. After the lesson, stick around and play in the pool for some extra activity. • TEAM UP: Have ball, will play. Grab a soccer ball, football, basketball or whatever you have on hand and head out to your local park or court. Call up another family and see if they’ll join you for a head to head match. You’ll get sweaty – and have some laughs along the way. • CHECK IT OFF: print out a list of all the parks in the area (include city parks, regional parks and provincial parks) then start at the top of the list and explore each one. The walking will be healthy for the whole family and you may discover a new family favourite to return to again and again.

HEALTH TIPS ... Use your mask every time you go to sleep.
Using your therapy every night will ensure your sleep is consistently good, even if it uncomfortable at first. Use it even when you are taking naps. Develop a sleep routine and stick to the therapy to ensure optimal results.
CanSleep has been improving the quality of sleep for over a decade The importance of a good night sleep is crucial to our health. For those who suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), not only is their sleep disturbed, but the oxygen starvation can lead to serious, potentially life-threatening conditions. Left untreated, OSA can cause snoring, strokes, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, heart disease and memory loss, to name a few. For more than a decade, CanSleep has been improving the quality of life for residents throughout the Lower Mainland. The specialists at CanSleep identify and diagnose sleep conditions and sleep disordered breathing (SDB) that affect your quality of life, and provides solutions to help you achieve the proper restorative sleep that is vital for your health. CanSleep features the most advanced diagnostic testing, provides immediate access to treatment and committed to providing ongoing client care. CanSleep’s team of Registered Therapists offer customized solutions ranging from alternative sleep support to CPAP devices, oral appliances and surgical recommendations. No Referral Required! Visit CanSleep for your FREE take-home Oxi-Test. Start living the life you want to live and the energy you want to feel living it. Breathe Better. Sleep Easy. Live Well.
Practice, practice, practice!
Initially putting your mask on my feel unnatural, this is normal, just like wearing glasses or a new watch. Practice putting it on in front of a mirror, and once comfortable doing so lay down and adjust as necessary. If you feel anxious about putting it on, wear it before you go to bed while watching TV.
Use a humidifier.
Air pressure from the CPAP can often make your nose and throat dry. By using distilled water in your humidifier chamber, moist air can be delivered, decreasing that dry uncomfortable feeling.

WOMEN’S HEALTH IMPORTANT SCREENINGS Routine medical screenings are an essential element of a healthy lifestyle. Many health screenings are recommended for both men and women, but women also should include some gender-specific testing in their health routines. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” That popular adage can be applied to personal health, particularly with respect to women’s health screenings. • BREAST CANCER: Both men and women can get breast cancer, but women are at a far greater risk than men. According to Breastcancer.org, roughly one in eight women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. The Canadian Cancer Society says breast cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in Canadian women. The earlier a woman finds breast cancer, the better her chance for survival. Cancers caught early are less likely to spread to the lymph nodes and vital organs than cancers caught at later stages. Recommendations on mammogram screening start time and frequency vary with age and risk factor, so women should discuss and develop an individualized plan with their doctors. • CERVICAL CANCER: Doctors advise that women should receive pelvic exams beginning at age 21, or earlier for women who are sexually active. Pap smears are screenings that help detect the presence of cancerous cells on and around the cervix that may be indicative of cervical cancer. Guidelines continually change regarding the frequency of Pap smear testing, but the general consensus is women age 30 and older may need screening every three years if they have not had any abnormal
26
tests in the past, according to Everyday Health. Women should speak with their gynecologists regarding how frequently they should be tested for cervical cancer. • BONE DENSITY TEST: Osteoporosis, a weakening of bones that causes them to become more fragile, may initially be symptom-free. Osteoporosis is often discovered only after a fracture. The National Osteoporosis Foundation says that estrogen decreases during menopause can cause bone loss, which is why women have a higher risk of developing osteoporosis than men. In addition to healthy living habits, bone mineral density tests beginning at age 65 or earlier can help identify problems early on. Certain risk factors may require women to begin receiving bone density tests before age 65. • SKIN CANCER SCREENING: A report from the National Cancer Institute appearing in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology revealed startling melanoma trends among young women. This deadly skin cancer is rising in incidence. Screening for changes in skin markings can help identify melanoma and other non-melanoma cancers early on. Skin should be checked by a dermatologist or a general health professional during regular physicals. Guidelines recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a group of experts in disease prevention, also recommend these screenings for women: blood pressure, cholesterol, colorectal cancer, and diabetes. Proper care and early identification of illness risk factors can keep women on the road to good health.
