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 2017 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. From our hands to yours, we welcome you to explore the 2017 Best Health Guide.

SLEEP A VITAL LINK TO WELLNESS CHRISTINA MYERS, CONTRIBUTING WRITER The term “sleep problems” conjures up notions of insomnia, sleep apnea or disruptive sleep patterns like those experienced by shift workers. But there can be significant health impacts associated with what many of us – in our hectic and often over-scheduled lives – would consider a relatively normal night’s sleep. After all, how many people get by on a handful of hours each night, relying on a jolt of caffeine to get themselves rolling in the morning? Far too many, it turns out. Some researchers predict that chronic levels of insufficient sleep will ultimately come to be seen as a health risk the same way that obesity or smoking are now. According to the Canadian Sleep Society, insufficient sleep can lead to reductions in motor skills and alertness, impaired attention and memory and negative mood – even after one night. Chronically

being under-rested can impact mood, cognition, and even impact weight gain, diabetes and heart disease. So, what’s a good’s night sleep and how does one attain it? The Canadian Sleep Society suggests that most people need 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep per night, though that can range across the population from as low as six hours for some people, up to as many as nine. If you feel rested and alert – and you woke easily in the morning – chances are good you’ve had a solid night’s sleep. If, like most people, you’re sleep deprived, here’s a few tips to get started: 1) Shift your priorities: the quality of your sleep is as important as the quality of your diet and your workouts. Sleep has been treated like an inconvenience – a break in our time to do other tasks – when in fact it’s a major pillar of our health. What other habits might need to be altered to make
time for sleep? Late-night TV watching? Surfing on the computer? Catching up on undone chores? The urge to fit in a few more tasks, or relax with technology, can be overwhelming – but the trade-off is poor sleep. 2) Create a sleep habit: just as most parents set up a sleep schedule for children, most adults will find a benefit to having a daily routine around sleep. Head to bed around the same time each night and create rituals that help the brain and body know that sleep is coming – a nightly bath, a special hand cream, reading a book for a set amount of time, for example. 3) We’d never go on holidays or apply for a job without preparation and planning. Prepare for sleep, too: make sure you have a comfortable pillow and bedding, that light sources are covered up, and that technology is stowed away out of arm’s reach. Even a small amount of light from an alarm clock may affect your sleep.

HEALTH TIPS ...
Make Breakfast Mandatory: Skipping breakfast greatly increases your risk of obesity by slowing your metabolism to compensate. Eat a healthy breakfast daily.
Helping You and Your Family Since 1995 Shockwave therapy is a modern and highly effective treatment method that introduces high-energy sound waves into the painful areas of the body. It accelerates the body’s healing process by stimulating the metabolism and enhancing blood circulation to help regenerate damaged tissue. “Administered by a chiropractor or a physiotherapist, a doctor’s referral isn’t usually required,” notes Jeanie Bezdan, co-founder and owner of Royal City Health & Manual Therapy. Conditions that may benefit from shockwave therapy include painful (back) disc symptoms, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, stress fractures, jumper’s knee and many more.
Get Strong, Not Skinny: Our bodies cannot recover from injury if we are not strong. Workout plans should include strength, cardio and flexibility training. Sleep More To Slim Down: Seven hours minimum sleep per night is essential to restore and protect vital organ functions and prevent unnecessary weight gain.
“Studies have shown the following improvements after treatments: 83% for calcific tendonitis of the shoulder, 77% for tennis elbow, 90% success rate for plantar fasciitis and 88% for patellar tendonitis,” says Jeanie. “I have a meniscal tear in my knee and although shockwave therapy isn’t really indicated for this type of injury, I felt immediate pain relief and an increased range of motion for several days after the treatment. Shockwave treatments are non-invasive with no side effects. The technology has been used successfully for decades and has alleviated chronic pain in millions of people,” says Jeanie.
Come in for a free consultation to decide if shockwave therapy is appropriate for your condition.

HEALTH TIPS ...
Be compliant with your medications. The biggest reason people of all ages are hospitalized has to do with them not taking their medications correctly, or on time.
Proud to be serving New Westminster for over 30 years! New West PharmaChoice is truly an independent pharmacy with heart – one that offers on-site medication management to the elderly in assisted living residences in the Burnaby/New Westminster area. As an award-winning drugstore, Owner and Pharmacy Manager Todd Verabioff and his team have a proven track record of delivering exceptional and personalized care in the most compassionate and thoughtful manner to all seniors in assisted care. That’s because everyone on Todd’s team is dedicated to the special health needs of the seniors they serve.
If you are on certain medications, they can deplete vitamins and minerals in the body. Make sure you take certain supplemental vitamins and minerals to avoid common health problems. Pay attention to what your body is telling you. If you are constantly tired or feeling depressed you should discuss this with a health care professional.
“We communicate between the nursing staff, residents, and physicians concerning questions about medication management in all areas of patient care,” he notes, adding he attends quarterly reviews with nursing staff and follow ups (when necessary) of all residents within the assisted living facilities. “Our pharmacy has also developed a “Pharmacy Policy and Procedure Manual” which is used specific to each assisted living residencies we care for.” Residents and their families can rest easy, knowing that with New West PharmaChoice, everyone is committed to developing long term relationships with each patient, ensuring everyone receives the best possible care.
We communicate between the nursing staff, residents, and physicians concerning questions about medication management in all areas of patient care.

DEPRESSION COMMON BUT TREATABLE It’s normal to experience feelings of sadness and grief from time to time. But when these feelings are prolonged or interfere with daily life, they may be symptomatic of depression. Depression can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or economic status. The National Institute of Mental Health says around 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression. Understanding depression can help those dealing with the disorder. What is depression? Depression is a mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest. The Mayo Clinic says depression can produce a variety of symptoms and affect the way a person thinks, acts and feels. Symptoms may include changes in sleeping patterns, anxiety, fatigue, weight gain or weight loss, unexplained aches and pains, and difficulty concentrating. What causes depression? Although the cause of depression re-

mains a mystery, certain distinguishing factors are common among those who have the condition. People with clinical depression appear to have physical changes in their brains. In addition, naturally occurring brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters likely play a role in depression. The Mayo Clinic states changes in the function and effect of these neurotransmitters and how they interact with neurocircuits involved in maintaining mood stability may play a significant role in depression and its treatment. In addition to biological factors in the brain, hormones can impact rates of depression or even trigger it. These hormone shifts may be a leading reason why women have higher incidence rates of depression than men. Depression is more common in people whose blood relatives also have the condition. Therefore, those with a family history of depression may be more likely to get it than those without such a connection.
Different types of depression There are different types of depression. A person may have a single bout of major depression or recurring episodes. Depression that lasts two or more years is called persistent depressive disorder. A less common type of depression is called manic-depressive illness. This involves cycles of depression that alternate with extreme highs, or manias. Treating depression Depression is a very treatable condition. Psychotherapy (talk therapy), medications or a combination thereof can be very effective in managing symptoms. Mental health professionals can work with individuals to find the right therapy based on symptoms and severity of the depression. Also, it may take some time to find the right medication or treatment; therefore, people are urged to remain patient and hopeful.

ORTHODONTIC BRACES HAVE EVOLVED Braces have evolved considerably over the years. With new technologies available, plus an acknowledgment that braces are a necessity for people of various ages and not just children, patients of all ages are choosing orthodontic procedures to give themselves healthy smiles. Early braces Orthodontic treatment in some shape or form has been around since 1000 BC. Studies of exhumed Egyptian mummies found that some Egyptians were buried with crude metal bands around their teeth, and archaeologists belive a material may have been tied to these bands to provide pressure to move the teeth. Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote about bringing newly emerging teeth into proper position by pushing them with fingers. Pierre Fauchard is considered the father of dentistry and a pioneer in the field of orthodontics. Fauchard invented the bandeau, which was a horseshoe-shaped strip of metal with regularly spaced holes to fit around teeth and correct their alignment, states Colgate Oral Care Center. Nowadays, braces have evolved even
further, with millions of people choosing from the various types of braces to correct dental problems. The American Association of Orthodontics notes that one out of five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21 - proving it’s never too late to straighten one’s teeth. Why braces? Braces were once considered a cosmetic procedure only. Dentists today recognize that correcting misaligned teeth can prevent periodontal problems, tooth wear, dental caries, infected gums, and various forms of dental disease. Engineering feat Braces work by applying pressure to the teeth to gradually shift them and the jaw. Traditional braces consist of small brackets adhered to the teeth that are connected by a wire. Pressure is achieved by periodically using tight, thick wires. As pressure is applied to the periodontal ligament, which holds the teeth in place, the body will naturally create new room and adjust. If too much pressure is applied too soon, tooth loss may occur.
New technology Braces no longer resemble the railroad style metal braces that wrapped around teeth in the early 1970s. Brackets are small and may be the color of metal or enamel. Brackets may be affixed to the front of the teeth or the back. Some people opt for clear plastic aligners, which can be very successful in the hands of trained orthodontists. Many orthodontists use heat-activated nickel-titanium alloy wires that apply constant pressure and do not need to be tightened as frequently. Also, advanced photography and x-rays enable orthodontists to plan treatment plans more effectively. Orthodontists spend two to three years learning how to properly align teeth and jaws, says the American Association of Orthodontists. Braces treatment lasts an average of about two years, with patients visiting the orthodontist every four to six weeks for adjustments. Braces have come a long way. In a short time, anyone can have a beautiful smile to show off.
