At one time or another since childhood, we’ve probably all been told to sit up or stand tall. Well, maybe it’s time to learn just why good posture is so important.

As a result, our bones and joints are in optimal alignment and wear and tear on the joints that support us is minimized. In fact, good posture has a wide range of health benefits.

When standing, your legs should have a slight knee bend so you’re not hyperextending or locking your knee joints.

It’s Time for Some
Inflammation Information The right kind of inflammation is essential to your body’s healing system. But chronic inflammation can be a problem.

hink about inflammation as your body talking to you. For example, if you sprain your ankle, it swells up and may become red and hot to the touch. This is your body telling you to stay off the ankle as your immune system releases white blood cells to surround and protect the area. This type of short-term, acute inflammation is good because it protects you. It’s how your body fights injuries and infections and helps speed up the healing process. But when inflammation gets turned up too high and lingers for a long time, and the immune system continues to pump out white blood cells and chemical messengers that prolong the process, that's known
as chronic inflammation. When this happens, white blood cells may end up attacking nearby healthy tissues and organs. “Persistent or chronic inflammation can lead to several diseases many of us are quite familiar with including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver and autoimmune disorders,” said Maria Werly, MD, Family Medicine Physician, AdventHealth Shawnee Mission. Many factors can contribute to chronic inflammation. Genetics, diet, sleep patterns and other habits are all possibilities. For example, unknown food allergies can cause inflammation in your intestine. Fortunately, there are quite a few steps you can take. Diet and exercise have an especially strong
How can you tell if you have too much inflammation or if everything is just fine? These are some of the signs to look for: 3 You’re tired all the time. Too little or too much sleep can create inflammation. If you are sleeping less than seven hours or more than nine, the cells in your body may respond to these irregular sleep patterns as if they are an illness. 3 You have aches and pains. Experiencing pain regularly can be an indicator of a lot of inflammation. It could also be a signal that you have developed arthritis. Rather than put it down to age, or dismiss it as no big deal, check it out with your doctor. 3 You’re experiencing digestive issues. Ongoing symptoms like diarrhea or gassiness could be signs of chronic inflammation, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. It is extremely important not to ignore these symptoms which could signal a food allergy, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, or other issues. 3 You keep getting headaches. They could be affected by neurogenic inflammation, which is a type of inflammation in the brain. If you experience a recent onset of headaches or migraines or notice changes from previous headaches or migraines, you may benefit from a neurological exam. That can rule out any organic reasons for the symptoms, including inflammation.
impact on managing or reducing chronic inflammation since they both can also help reduce weight and improve sleep. “Small changes over time will make a difference. Eat foods with color. The best choices include fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. On the other hand, there are some choices to consider avoiding, like foods high in fat, sugar or salt along with ultra-processed foods (which remove most natural vitamins and nutrients),” said Werly. Physical activity has also been shown to decrease inflammation. 150 minutes of exercise a week can have a great impact. For example, that’s taking a brisk 30-minute walk, 5 days a week. “In addition to physical health, mental health and psychological stressors contribute. Find time to do something you enjoy which allows you to decompress and clear your head, even if only for a short time each week. Try to limit blue light exposure after sundown. This will improve your ability to fall asleep as well as stay asleep. Focusing on these areas ensures you will be headed down a healthier path for the future,” said Werly. Participate in a fun and engaging in-person hands-on cooking class to learn how easy and enjoyable it can be to cook with foods that contain beneficial antiinflammatory compounds that support vibrant health.

f course, every baby’s birth is miraculous. But on June 28th, 2021, AdventHealth Shawnee Mission had the thrill of delivering its 150,000th baby. That’s more miracles than anyone imagined back in 1962 when it began as Shawnee Mission Hospital. Since those humble beginnings, the AdventHealth Birth Center has become a world-class facility, with expert physicians, luxurious amenities and a whole-person approach to mother and baby care. For more than half of those 59 years, Dr. Michael Magee has been in the middle of it all, delivering thousands of babies, at all hours of the day and night. “Just before I started in 1988, a woman in labor would be given a room until it was time for her to deliver her baby, and then the birth would take place in the OR. But around that time, we converted to the LDRP (Labor, Delivery, Recovery, Post-Partum) concept. The Special Addition Maternity Center, as it was called, really made the birth experience so much better for moms and

dads. It became a whole family event,” said Michael Magee, MD, OB/GYN. In addition, AdventHealth Shawnee Mission has been recognized by The American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Magnet Recognition Program® for demonstrating superior nursing practices and outcomes. “As doctors, we get spoiled by the incredible nursing care provided here. A labor nurse, for example, may stay with the family for 12 straight hours or more, ready to provide critical care if needed, but also providing the warmth and support patients really appreciate,” said Magee. An exciting new era for the community was launched in 2013 with the opening of the AdventHealth Shawnee Mission Birth Center. This state-of-the-art facility was thoughtfully designed for each new mom, baby and family. Every room is an elegant retreat designed to comfort laboring women, encourage family involvement and allow the medical staff to provide unparalleled care. “The new Birth Center is so

spacious – there are separate floors for labor & delivery, post-partum and a Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Incredibly, more than 5,000 babies were delivered there last year,” said Magee. These days, Magee often delivers the babies to many of the women that he brought into the world over the past 33 years. And one of his sons, Max, has recently joined the AdventHealth Shawnee Mission community, as an OB/GYN. “I actually went into med school thinking I wanted to do general surgery. But as an OB/GYN, I have the opportunity to do so many things – including deliveries and surgeries – and I can look forward to building relationships with my patients from when they’re young all the way through menopause,” said Max Magee, MD, OB/GYN. As Johnson County’s leader in the care of women, babies and families, the AdventHealth Birth Center provides the compassionate, expert and exceptional care mothers, fathers and families come to expect from our facilities.

Ask the Doctor
Elaine Demetroulis, MD, Cardiologist, on the importance of heart-healthy checkups starting at age 20 Should heart healthy check-ups really begin at age 20? Isn’t that young?
What factors determine how often hearthealthy check-ups should occur?
Not at all. Screening at age 20 is not too soon - especially if there is a family history of premature heart disease. The longer risk factors go unmanaged, the higher the risk of developing heart disease.
These factors include family history of heart disease, hypertension (HTN), diabetes and whether or not the initial screening tests are normal.
What heart health screenings are performed at age 20? If blood pressure (BP) is 120/80, then we would check again at least every 2 years. If it’s above 120/80, we may check more often. We do a blood test for cholesterol once at age 20, then every fourto-six years. We check weight every year – the goal is a Body Mass Index (BMI) below 25. We would also discuss smoking, exercise and dietary issues at routine appointments.

What high-risk factors can affect heart health? The major risk factors for heart disease are smoking, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, physical inactivity and a family history of heart disease.
exercise. Get regular screening for blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol levels at the recommended intervals. If you do have high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol, work with your doctor to keep these all as well controlled with whatever therapy is recommended by your physician – through diet and with medications when indicated.
What are a few of the best ways to maintain heart health? Essentially, it is a matter of identifying and controlling modifiable risk factors. Obviously, one’s family history cannot be modified. But don’t smoke - or stop if you do. Maintain a healthy weight and dietary habits. Get regular aerobic

The Facts
Are You Aware of the Alternative to Breast Self-Exams?
F
or many women, performing a monthly breast self-exam (BSE) can bring with it a lot of anxiety and fear, often unfounded. In addition, research hasn’t shown a clear benefit to doing BSEs. That’s why many experts – including the American Cancer Society, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists – now say that women should focus on breast selfawareness instead of doing a BSE. Unlike BSEs, breast self-awareness isn’t about following a certain method and schedule. The key is knowing how your breasts normally look and feel. This helps you to notice anything out of the ordinary – even small changes. If you see any changes, you should report them to your healthcare provider right away.

AdventHealth | Fall 2021
What to Do if You Find a Lump Contact your provider if you feel lumpiness in one breast, feel something different in the tissue or feel a definite lump. Of course, it’s normal to be concerned and even upset if you find a lump. But it’s important to contact your provider right away. Remember that most breast lumps are not cancer – they are benign. Susan G. Komen, the national breast cancer research and patient advocacy group, also encourages women to know their cancer risk, including any family history of the disease, along with having regular mammograms and clinical breast exams.
Changes May Include: 3 A lump 3 Nipple discharge other than breast milk, especially a bloody discharge
3 Swelling 3 A change in size or shape 3 Skin irritation, such as redness, thickening or dimpling of the skin
3 Swollen lymph nodes in the armpit
3 Nipple problems, such as pain or redness
