March 27 at 8 p.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. The evening’s program includes the greatest hits from Benson’s career, which spans more than 50 years. A
genius guitarist and versatile musician, Benson has crossed seamlessly over many musical genres, from swing to bop to R&B to pop to scat singing. His music and influence continue to inspire.
The French electronic duo Daft Punk recently shared in an Entertainment Weekly interview that Benson’s 1980 hit “Give Me the Night” is “the song we play to get pumped before a night out.”
Walking to Exercise for Fitness Better Health and Fitness Are Just Steps Away By Nancy Shepherd For years it was believed that exercise for fitness had to be very strenuous to have any noticeable benefit. However, it is now recognized that something as simple as walking can be as efficient as more rigorous activities. The key is the type of walking you do. Simply strolling is better than nothing; it at least gets you moving and keeps your joints limber. But if you’re walking to exercise for fitness, you’ll need to step up the pace. Depending on your current health and your fitness goals, you can choose from brisk walking, power walking, and pole walking. Brisk walking can help you lose weight, improve your mood, manage Type 2 diabetes, lower blood pressure, and normalize cholesterol. Done consistently, it is as effective for reducing the risk of heart attack as jogging. As a weight-bearing exercise, it also contributes to strong bones and reduces risk from osteoporosis. All it takes is a good, supportive pair of walking shoes and enough space to work up to a good pace. To gain the benefits of brisk walking, your speed should be fast enough to raise your heart rate, but still Page 4
allow you to comfortably carry on a conversation. After a five to ten minute warm-up at a slower pace, increase to the brisk pace and maintain it for at least 30 minutes. You’ll get best results from engaging in the activity no fewer than five days a week. The next level of walking for fitness is power walking. At this level you can burn almost as many calories as jogging but without the jarring impact on your joints. In one study, women who incorporated three power walks per week into their walking routines lost five times as much belly fat than women whose workouts consisted of only brisk walking -- even though they burned the same number of calories. To take your workout to the power walking level, do your warm-up walk, then bend your elbows and swing your arms as you stride energetically. Strive for a pace of four miles an hour, an intensity at which conversation is no longer comfortable. Pole walking gives you all the benefits of power walking and then some. Adding poles to your walking routine involves more muscles of the upper body, so you burn more calories and tone your upper body as well as your legs. Additionally, the
The Ladera Ranch News
poles provide stability and relieve some of the load from the hips and knees, which may make it easier for older people to take part. Walking with poles results in a greater aerobic workout without having to walk any faster. Even though using the poles raises the heart rate higher and burns more calories than walking without poles, walkers don’t perceive the exertion as harder. It has also been reported to relieve neck and shoulder pain. To pole walk correctly, it is best to get some instruction so you’ll get the most from your efforts. You’ll learn the proper length for your poles and the most effective techniques. Generally, walking with poles is like power walking, except that you will push down and back on the poles to propel yourself more powerfully with each stride. There’s no longer any excuse for not working out. Walking to exercise makes improved fitness accessible to nearly everyone. Start where you are and do as much as you can do. As your fitness improves, step up to the next level of walking and you’ll be taking positive steps toward better health.

Practice makes perfect: a dress rehearsal for your turkey The holidays are approaching and before you know it, you’ll be thinking about that daunting task of cooking a turkey. This holiday season, make sure your bird impresses all the guests and relatives by conducting a dress rehearsal for your turkey. More than 88 percent of Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving, according to a National Turkey Federation survey. But before doing so, why not do a dry run and prepare a turkey, or try a smaller bird like chicken, using a brining technique that is sure to be a crowd pleaser? It’s the hot new culinary trend that’s got everyone from celebrity chefs to home cooks buzzing. But even though brining may be the latest technique to sweep kitchens, it’s hardly new. Mankind has been brining since ancient times. It probably started out, hundreds of millennia ago, as a way of preserving seafood with sea salt. The technique has come a long way since, and now food lovers everywhere, in typical what’s-old-is-new-again fashion, are rediscovering the benefits of brining. Think you don’t have the tools to brine? Chef Helen Roberts, director of culinary development at Kikkoman, has perfected the turkey brine. The brine is simple: salt, sugar, water, dried spices and the magic ingredient: soy sauce. Pull out your refrigerator drawer or a large, deep bucket to brine your bird. After you’ve stirred your ingredients and placed your turkey in the liquid, let the brine work its magic overnight. What’s the secret behind brining? Brining has a tenderizing and moisturizing effect. The brine is absorbed and diffused throughout the meat as it soaks overnight. In addition, Roberts explains that soy sauce has a savory effect that seals
in the turkey flavor and moisture. “Brining makes a big difference when you’re roasting meat. You’ll have the juiciest bird you’ve ever tasted,” says Roberts. But, as we all know, a turkey isn’t the only thing on the kitchen table - check out some recipes here that will leave your taste buds craving for more. Savory Turkey Brine Ingredients (Recipe for a 16 to 24 pound turkey) 2 gallons cold water 10 ounces Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce 1/2 cup kosher salt 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons dried sage 2 tablespoons dried celery seed 1 tablespoon dried thyme Instructions The night before roasting, remove giblets and turkey neck; rinse turkey inside and out. In a large stock pot or 5 gallon bucket, mix water with remaining ingredients. Stir well until all the salt is dissolved. Place turkey in the pot, cover with a lid and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. Remove turkey from the brine, rinsing well. Follow your regular cooking instructions. Brining isn’t just for meat though.
Brine veggies for a rich, savory taste. Perhaps one of the trendiest veggies, Brussels sprouts, are a prime candidate for a soy sauce brine. Sick of the same old side dishes? Now that you’ve brined your turkey, get creative with your side dishes too. Put a spin on classic mashed potatoes with the Wasabi Mashed Potatoes recipe found on www.kikkomanusa.com. The spice and heat will balance out the creamy texture of the mashed potatoes. If you have leftover turkey, try a completely new dish instead of just reheating. Keep enjoying your juicy turkey by adding to a stir fry, include in a salad or in a tetrazzini. For leftover mashed potatoes, use panko to transform into crunchy, warm Panko Mashed Potato Cakes. Have you ever wondered ... why turkey for Thanksgiving? Turkeys became a Thanksgiving staple after the Native Americans introduced turkey to the Pilgrims back in 1621 during the first Thanksgiving meal. As you prepare to celebrate the holidays, try this brining recipe to keep turkey juicy and moist, and you are bound to enjoy a wonderful meal with friends and family.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle always to the strong. But that’s the way to bet. ~Damon Runyon The Ladera Ranch News

LOCAL DENtiSt DR. MiCHAEL tESSiER OffERS COMPLiMENtARY SECOND OPiNiON ON DENtAL DiAgNOSES Two ladies came in last week. Their stories were similar. Both were new to the area, each went to a new dentist, each was told that she needed a Dr. Michael Tessier relatively large amount of dental work (one of the ladies said the estimate was $10,000), even though they each had been going to their dentist regularly for years. So, totally independently, they came in to see me to get their teeth cleaned and for a thorough comprehensive examination and second opinion. We did a full set of x-rays on each, checked gum health, took photographs, and checked for cancer. They were both in great shape, dentally, and just needed a maintenance visit. It does happen that patients come in needing a very expensive treatment plan to get their mouths back to a healthy state. Maybe times were tough and money was scarce, or they couldn’t get time off from work, or they didn’t have dental insurance (more on that in a moment), or they didn’t have a dentist they could trust. I did have a lady bring her children in once who’d taken them to see the dentist within the six months before moving here. Each of the children had pretty significant decay- eight and twelve
cavities each , several of which I could see without even putting a mirror in their mouth. Mom was understandably upset with what I told her and took the children to another dentist, who confirmed my diagnosis. She brought them back, and we got everything squared away to mom’s satisfaction. The point is, if something doesn’t sound right, or you don’t understand it, please get a second opinion. We see patients with questions all the time, those consultations are complimentary, and we’re glad to help out. Now, a word on dental insurance. Not all dental insurance coverage is good, coverage isn’t all the same, some companies aren’t easy to work with, and some people just don’t need dental insurance. They might end up paying more in “co-pay” and premium than they would if they just got done what needed to be done when needed. And, we offer “Care Credit”, which is effectively a credit card for dental work (doesn’t work at Nordstrom’s) that allows you to pay off a charge for dental work over twelve months without interest. So, if you or someone you know has a question about their dental needs, or would benefit from a complimentary consultation appointment, please don’t hesitate to call my office. The number is 949-459-7212, and the office is located at the intersection of Oso and Antonio Parkways, down the walk from Starbucks and the car wash at 28562 Oso Parkway.

Top 10 Tips for a Healthier Heart The message that a healthy lifestyle helps protect your heart isn’t new. If you’d like to do more to take care of your heart, here are 10 ways technology can make that easier. 1. Stop Smoking. Apps such as Smoke Reducer for Android, and iQuit for iPhone can help you wean off tobacco. You can also use the Firefox add-on Quitomzilla, which shows you how much money you save by not smoking, the number of cigarettes not smoked, and the overall time since your last smoke. 2. Stay Within a Healthy Weight Range. Make it easier to monitor your weightloss progress with the iHealth Wireless Scale. You can track your weight over time, and see results in relation to daily activity, time of day, diet, exercise, and more. The scale lets you set a milestone and share your results with doctors, fitness buddies and family. The free companion iHealth Scale app works with iPod touch, iPhone and iPad.

not you should drive. To monitor your caffeine intake, try the Caffeine Zone 2 for iPhone and iPad, or the Caffeine Monitor app for Android. 4. Take Care of Your Teeth.

The Dock comes with a blood pressure arm cuff and doubles as a charging station for your iPod touch, iPhone and iPad. The companion iHealth app is available for free. 6. Reduce Stress. Try a portable biofeedback device, like
the StressEraser, to help you relax by synchronizing your breathing and your heart rate. If having too much on your plate and too many interruptions causes you stress, try Quiet Hours. It lets you shut down your computer’s communication apps, like instant messaging, for a specified period of time.
7. Exercise Regularly.

Five Great Drought Tolerant Native Plants Native plants are the best choice a year once established – it will still for your garden - even when we’re be “showy” for you each Spring. The not in a drought - but when water is local hummingbirds will thank you. scarce Natives are the only logical selection. Plant in the fall or winter so natives become acclimated. Provide a little water in summer, in the early morning hours (much less than that required by traditional landscape plants) to encourage blooming and keep natives from going dormant. Here are five great drought tolerant natives for your local garden:
Penstemon spectabilis or showy penstemon, is a perennial native to coastal Southern California. It’s iridescent purple-blue flowers are present from April through May. In the wild you’ll find it blooming in the Coastal Sage Scrub and Chaparral plant communities. Plant it in the full sun and give it as little as 4” of water
Baccharis pilularis, or coyote brush, is a shrub native to coastal California. Its fluffy white flowers bloom from September through January, providing an abundant source of nectar for beneficial insects through the fall and winter. While it is common in the coastal sage scrub and chaparral it is sadly under appreciated as a landscape plant. That should change! It can flourish in a wide range of conditions, it is drought tolerant, and stays green year round! Keep its natural shape or hedge it. Eriophyllum confertiflorum, or golden yarrow, is a small shrub (1 – 2 feet high) native to most of coastal California. It can bloom
between February and August – that’s right, most of the year! It enjoys the full sun and is happy next to those penstemons mentioned earlier and the Artemisia mentioned next. Place it in the full sun where the butterflies can find it, but don’t over water!
Salvia apiana or white sage, is a shrub native to coastal southern California. Its delicate lavender flowers bloom from April through July, and its silver foliage looks spectacular year round. Salvia apiana likes sunny dry slopes and no extra water after A r t e m i s i a c a l i f o r n i c a , o r the first year. It loves to live near California sagebrush, is a shrub Artemisia californica, and it is happy (3-4 feet) native to most of coastal in most soils from sandy loam to clay. California. It put the ‘sage’ in coastal sage scrub – a native garden is not complete without at least one! Artemisia californica likes full sun and little or no water after established. It doesn’t seem to care if it lives in clay or sand, but don’t get it wet in the summer! It loves to grow next to Baccharis pilularis (mentioned earlier) and Salvia apiana (mentioned next). This is what “plant community” looks like, folks! The Ladera Ranch News

Girls on the Run: Healthy Girls Today, Powerful Leaders Tomorrow Joelle Flynn recalls when she was a girl with a slight belly, her father nicknamed her “Porky.” That name stuck in her head and her heart. It created a potentially life¬long negative self ¬image, she says. Flynn, 43, went on to super success as a stockbroker and an entrepreneur. She gained her self¬ confidence, personal strength and self¬empowerment through running. Now, as the Executive Director of Girls on the Run Orange County® (GOTROC), Flynn points out that running is an activity that is central to the GOTROC program, but not the sole focus. Girls on the Run Orange County is a transformational youth development program centered on physical activity for girls in grades three through eight. The program is designed to develop and enhance girls’ competencies and to support them in successfully navigating life’s experiences. For 18 years, the nonprofit Girls on the Run, based in Charlotte, N.C., have been empowering thousands of elementary¬ and middle¬ school¬ aged girls through an after¬school, activity ¬based program that culminates, after 10 to 12 weeks, in a 5K celebratory race. Just last year, the program served nearly 150,000 girls in the U.S. and Canada. Since its inception in 1996, the nonprofit has served Page 8
754,021 girls through more than 220 chapters, or “Councils.” Each Council is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. Orange County just received their 501(c)(3) status this past year and is on their 2nd season with sites in Santa Ana, Irvine and Yorba Linda. They are looking to expand this next year into Newport Beach, Laguna Beach and Dana Point. The curriculum includes such topics as: Gossiping Hurts Everyone, Being Emotional is Healthy!, Positive Self Talk and Why I Choose It, Standing Up to Peer Pressure, It’s OK to Choose Our Friends. Professional image stylist, personal branding expert and Newport Beach resident, Lauren Solomon, recalls the day on the playground in the fourth grade when a group of girls started chanting “Lauren’s on a diet. Isn’t that a riot? But, it doesn’t matter, because she’s getting fatter.” “I was fortunate to be surrounded by family and friends who didn’t let these situations define who I became,” shares Solomon.” Not every young girl is so lucky. I would have loved to have a program like GOTR when I was growing up. It has become exponentially more difficult for young girls over the years, not easier.” “Every girl needs this program,” says Cecily Ferguson, a stay¬ at ¬home mother of four, a director of

the new Orange County council and the 5K race director. Their upcoming celebratory 5K will be on December 6th at 9:00 am at the Irvine Great Park and is open to the public. Girls who participate have been told they’re “not smart enough,” or “not pretty enough,” or have been shunned or bullied by classmates. Or, they may be dealing with the basic real life issues of just being a girl. Whatever their motivation to participate, the girls make new friends, grow in self¬ confidence and expand their personal awareness of their true potential. Ferguson says, “We teach girls they can.” “They can stand up for themselves, they can love themselves, they can take care of themselves physically and emotionally. They can stand up for those around them. They can be a hugely
valuable part of the community, and they can become strong, empowered girls today and, women, leaders, tomorrow.” Here is an opportunity for you to support Girls On The Run Orange County with friends, fashion and fun…Lauren Solomon and luxury¬ design clothing collection, Worth New York, are sponsoring a Girls Run -Girls Shop Trunk Show at the Balboa Bay Resort, Newport Beach ¬ Mon, Nov 10¬Wed Nov 13.

Santa Margarita Girls Tennis and Volleyball Teams Win First Two Trinity League Titles of the 2014-2015 Season Story by Sean Zeitler Photos by Robert Russell The Santa Margarita girls’ varsity tennis team captured an unprecedented ninth straight Trinity League Championship after they defeated the host team, JSerra, 12-6 last week. Despite dropping their first two matches of the season to University and Corona del Mar, Santa Margarita Eagles then strung together a stretch of 15 straight victories and secured the league title with the win over the Lions. The Santa Margarita girls’ tennis program is never one to shy away from competition, as every year they open up the season with the aforementioned University, a perennial tennis powerhouse year in and year out. This year was no different as the first two matches
were against University and Corona del Mar, currently ranked number one and three in Orange County respectively. The Santa Margarita girls’ tennis program now has 10 total league championships to their name with their first one coming back in 1992. After a quiet stretch through the 90’s, the Eagles picked it back up in 2006 and haven’t looked back since. The last time the Santa Margarita Eagles were not league champions, singles standout Katie Chang was seven years old. Following suit in League Championship technique, the Santa Margarita girls’ volleyball team secured a share of the 2014 Trinity League Championship Tuesday night after defeating Jserra, at JSerra, 4-1.

After falling asleep in the second game, the Eagles bounced back in commanding style, 25-17, 22-25, 25-16, 25-17. Sophomore Meghan McClure had 24 kills with eight digs and was joined by Iona-bound senior Claire Archibald’s 16 kills and six digs. Jane Horner contributed 18 digs with Ashley Campbell adding 12 of her own; freshman Devon Chang did her part to facilitate the ball with 52 assists and 11 digs. After splitting their series with Mater Dei (22-10), the Santa Margarita Eagles (28-6) and the Monarchs will share the crown as Trinity Champions for 2014. This marks the first league championship for the Santa Margarita girls’ volleyball program since 2011 and the 10th league championship

in the program’s rich history, dating back to their first league title in 1989. The girls’ volleyball program boasts seven CIF Championships on their resume including a stretch of four consecutive from 1996-1999, with a state championship in 1999 in which current Santa Margarita Eagle coaches, Monique (Gerlach) Harrison ‘00 and Crystal (Day) Chitwood ‘01, were on the varsity roster. As Trinity League closes, the Santa Margarita Eagles are currently sitting at #4 in the County and #9 in Division 1AA behind Orange County schools Mater Dei (3) and Corona del Mar (7). Girls’ volleyball CIF pairings will be announced today no later than 2:00pm.

Wells of Life Exceeds Fundraising Goal at Sold Out Benefit Photos by Bob Delgadillo The 4th Annual Wells of Life Gala and Auction took place at the Mission Viejo Country Club raising record-setting gross receipts in excess of $173,000. Guests enjoyed heavy hors d’oeuvres, a no host cocktail bar, silent and live auctions, and a stunning performance by world-renowned tenor Anthony Kearns. Kearns, a member of the singing sensation, The Irish Tenors, made a special appearance at the gala as part of his role as National Ambassador for the Wells of Life nonprofit. Kearns performed for the sold-out crowd of more than 200 guests with a special selection of music chosen especially for the gala. In a poignant moment, Kearns dedicated an exceptional song, “I Believe,” to the work Wells of Life is doing to help children in need. Wells of Life President Nick Jordan and Kearns hail from the same small village of Kiltealy in Country Wexford, Ireland – a circumstance denoting a strong bond, observed Jordan in his introduction of Kearns. During the live auction, Kearns also surprised everyone by offering a private performance for the live auction. “I am delighted to participate in such an extraordinary evening for what is truly a remarkable and meaningful cause – providing fresh drinking water to the children of Uganda, East Africa”, said Kearns, who also released a short, powerful public service announcement (PSA) in support of the organization. During the VIP reception, a water well was dedicated to Bishop Tod Brown funded by the St Thomas More Society of Orange County. He was given a special oil painting by local artist Toni Danchik that depicted children getting the much-needed water that they so deserve. Board members Peter Callahan and Greg Weiler presented the Bishop with this significant piece of art. The evening’s featured video presentation showed the children of two countries – America and Uganda -- giving and receiving the gift of clean water. The children interviewed spoke freely from their heart about how raising money for building water wells for those in need has moved and changed their lives. After the video, some of the children in the video who were in attendance were called up to the stage and thanked for their tireless efforts. The Martin Family from Rancho Santa Margarita was honored for their commitment to Wells of Life. Amber and Mike Martin, along with their six children, have already funded four wells and have a goal of funding at least seven more wells – one for each child and one for the family. With a moving surprise of the night, six-year old Eli Martin presented his check of $6,000 for his water well to Nick Jordan on behalf of Wells of Life, making this the Martin’s fifth water well for Wells of Life. Jordan was very excited about the evening, “Tonight, Wells of Life unites the world across two continents and shows the power of giving and receiving. During a night of giving, every drop matters and every dollar makes a difference. Our children inspire us to do what’s necessary to bring clean water to those who need this precious resource.” Guests participated in a rousing live auction with items up for bidding that included a grand adventure in the Bahamas, wine and dinner for 8 at Mission Viejo Wine Works, a Champagne Sunset Cruise and picnic dinner for 6, two rounds of golf and 4 nights at the Exuma Beach Resort and a 8-week old puppy “Marshmallow”, a Maltese mix. Wells of Life is a Laguna Beach, California based nonprofit organization that was founded in 2008 and incorporated as a 501(c) (3) in 2011 with the sole purpose of providing Ugandan communities with access to clean and safe drinking water. Wells of Life is committed to drilling wells and empowering Ugandan communities with the gift of water. To learn more about Wells of Life and how to get involved, visit http://www.wellsoflife.org.

Fitness Tips – Identifying Roadblocks Lifetime Fitness A few weeks ago, you might have been an exercise newbie, negotiating your way through those first workouts that seemed impossible, and tough. I bet you never thought you’d survive those first few weeks! But look at you now - you’ve got it all covered. You’re not only feeling good but are also continuing to exercise regularly as well. You’re in total control of your diet too - good for you! I hope you continue with your good habits, and stay on track. Here is the next step to help you stay committed to your fitness plan:
I dentifying
R oadbloc k s
Fitness Roadblock No. 1: Don’t fall for fitness routines or diets that offer quick-fix solutions There is no shortage of fad diets and fitness routines that promise the moon but these seldom work. Steer clear of these quick fixes. Instead, making positive changes in your daily routine such as quitting smoking, along with a good fitness plan, can help you obtain your fitness goals quicker. Fitness Roadblock No. 2: Don’t let a loved one, or a friend sabotage your fitness plan Most of us start a fitness routine with a lot of enthusiasm but get derailed from our path to total fitness due to lack of support from a dear one or a friend. It can be really frustrating when others around you don’t seem as excited about your health plans as you! They may try to make you skip your workout or even persuade
you to have something unhealthy. If this seems familiar to you, then you are letting your loved ones and friends sabotage your fitness plan. Don’t let them do this to you; talk to them. Maybe they’re not even aware of sabotaging your plans in the first place! Have a talk with them, and let them know how important it is for them to understand you, and support your initiatives. Fitness Roadblock No. 3: Identify flaws in your fitness goals ensure that you have a definite goal - one that is not vague. This is very important because if you don’t have a target, everything will do. And this way, you will never succeed. Thus, a large part of achieving lifetime fitness depends on three things • First, you need to find out your present fitness level • Second, you need to determine your objective • Third, you need to set a realistic target and plan how you will get there Fitness Roadblock#4: L a c k o f m o t i v a t i o n Motivation is the key to staying committed to fitness for life. But, many fail to stay on track due to lack of compelling reasons that help to remain focused and succeed. Thus, if your plan to achieve total health is not powered by strong motivations,
then you’ll either remain where you are now, or land up being where you were prior to starting to exercise. What you need then is to be aware of why it is important for you to be fit - will it improve your health? Will it help to find a better partner? In addition, you need to also, determine why it is simply unacceptable for you to fail. Once you can answer these important questions honestly, you should be able to overcome any roadblocks to achieving lifetime fitness.
Helicopter Tree Removal Planned for South Big Bear. Castle Rock Trail will be Temporarily Closed The Mountaintop Ranger District will be using helicopters as part of the South Big Bear Hazardous Fuels Reduction project. Helicopters will be removing trees and slash in areas inaccessible by conventional tree removal methods and fly the logs to a staging point or landing. The helicopter project work begins on November 4th, and is expected to be completed by November 25th, weather and conditions permitting. In the project area, helicopters will be operating south of Highway 18 and south of Boulder Bay. During this portion of the South Big Bear project, the Castle Rock hiking trail (map attached) will be closed to all public use and will reopen once the area is safe for public entry. If you have questions on alternative hiking and recreational opportunities, please contact the Big Bear Discovery Center at 909382-2790. While this type of logging is very interesting for the public to observe, “Favorable weather has allowed it could be dangerous to be in the area around the operation site, so the the work in Big Bear to progress, and public is cautioned and asked to view we will continue the work as long as conditions will allow it” stated District from a safe, distant vantage point. Ranger Marc Stamer. “The work is Page 14

Balance-boosting footwear tips for older Americans
Balance in all aspects of life is a good thing. We work hard but make time for fun, love our children while setting boundaries, and eat healthy to enjoy a sundae on Friday night. But mental equilibrium isn’t the only kind of balance that’s important in life. Good physical balance can help older people avoid the debilitating and potentially lifethreatening complications of a fall. Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2010, 2.3 million fall injuries sent older folks to emergency rooms, 662,000 required hospitalizations, and falls cost $30 billion in direct medical costs, the CDC says. “Preventing falls among older Americans is a top health priority, and improved balance can help reduce the risk of a fall,” says Dr. Matthew Garoufalis, a podiatrist and president of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). “Proper footwear can help improve balance, especially in older people who may struggle with mobility and balance issues.” When selecting a shoe to improve balance, keep these guidelines in mind: * Put shoes to the test - the APMA’s 1-2-3 test. Step 1 - Press on both sides of the heel area to ensure the heel is stiff and won’t collapse. Step 2 - Bend the shoe to check for toe flexibility. The shoe shouldn’t bend too much in the toe
box area, but it shouldn’t be too stiff and inflexible either. Step 3 Try twisting the shoe; it shouldn’t twist in the middle. * Have your feet professionally measured every time you shoe shop. Natural aging and health changes can cause the size of your feet to change. Measure both feet - late in the day - and shop for the larger foot. * Bring the type of socks you plan to wear with the shoes and walk around the store in the shoes before you purchase them. * If you don’t feel comfortable or steady in the store, don’t buy them. Shoes should feel comfortable and supportive right away; if they don’t feel good right away, breaking them in won’t improve things. * If you have specific health challenges or foot issues, talk to a podiatrist about the best footwear for your needs. If your podiatrist has prescribed orthotics - biomechanical inserts that go into your shoes - take them with you when you shop and try them out in the shoes you’re considering. * Quality shoes can be an investment. Before you buy, check to see if the brand and style you’re considering have earned the APMA’s Seal of Acceptance and Seal of Approval. The organization grants these seals to products found to promote good foot health. To learn more about foot health, selecting proper footwear, and where you can find a podiatrist in your area, visit www.apma.org.
