Exercise & Fitness

Good fitness can be kids’ stuff.

Help your kids embrace the healthy way of life.

By helping your children develop a love of movement when they’re young, you’re setting them up to be stronger and healthier when they’re older. Combining regular physical activity with a nutritious diet is the key.

Here are some tips for raising fit kids: kkEstablish a regular schedule for physical activity. kkIncorporate activity into daily routines, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator. kkAdopt a healthier lifestyle yourself, so you’ll be a positive role model for your family. kkKeep it fun, so you can count on your kids to come back for more.

Ages2-5 Toddlers and preschoolers are beginning to master many basic movements, but they’re too young for most organized sports. At this age, unstructured free play is usually best.

Try: kkRunning kkTumbling kkThrowing kkCatching kkSwimming

Shawnee Mission Health | Summer 2016

Ages10-12

Ages6-9 As children get older, their vision, attention spans and transitional skills, such as throwing for distance, improve.

They’re also better able to follow directions.

Consider organized activities such as: kk T-ball, softball or baseball kk Running kk Soccer kk Gymnastics kk Swimming kk Tennis kkMartial arts

By this age, children have mature vision and the ability to understand and recall sports strategies.

These children are typically ready to take on complex skill sports, such as football, basketball, hockey and volleyball.

Cluster Headaches

CAN YOU ID YOUR

HEA DAC HE S Learn how to diagnose your head pain, so you can cure your headaches and get back to work.

A cluster headache involves an intense pain that typically occurs behind and around the eyes that is one-sided, throbbing and excruciating. Cluster periods last anywhere from several weeks to three months; during that time headaches can reoccur several times per day.

Treatment usually aims to decrease the severity of the pain, shorten the headache period and prevent attacks. Your doctor may provide you with immediate treatments such as inhaling oxygen and local anesthetics. Preventive therapy can include calcium channel blockers and melatonin.

Migraine Headaches Migraine sufferers usually experience sharp and throbbing pain on one side of the head, and migraines are often associated with nausea, vomiting and/or sensitivity to light and sound.

The most common prescription medications for migraines are triptans; they are not painkillers but instead work to stop the migraine in its tracks.

Migraines can also be effectively treated by adopting healthy lifestyle changes, such as eating regularly, exercising, staying hydrated, getting sufficient sleep and avoiding known triggers.

From Alexander Fong, MD, neurologist with Shawnee Mission Neurology Consultants

Shawnee Mission Health | Summer 2016

Tension Headaches The most common type of headache, tension headaches bring feelings of discomfort in the head, scalp, jaw or neck. The pain is dull, constant and usually experienced on both sides of the head. The cause is unknown, but stress is the most commonly reported trigger.

Treatment options for tension headaches include hot or cold compresses, relaxation techniques, therapeutic massages and over-the-counter medications.

Do you need help learning to manage stress? Join Shawnee Mission Health for a free class, Thinking Yourself Calm, on June 20, 4:30-6 p.m. To register or to find a doctor, call the ASK-A-NURSE Resource Center at 913-676-7777.

Sinus HeadacheS These headaches often appear when your sinus membranes become inflamed as a result of an infection such as sinusitis, or a cold or flu virus. It’s usually accompanied by a fever; if it’s caused by sinusitis, it can be treated with antibiotics and decongestants. This is a frequently made diagnosis that many times turns out to be related to migraines.

Preventing a sinus headache goes back to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, building a strong immune system, washing your hands regularly and using a humidifier during cold and flu season.

HERE’S HOW YOU AND YOUR FAMILY CAN

BEAT THE HEAT. There are three easy things you need to remember about keeping children safe when it’s hot: Apply sunscreen regularly, give them plenty of drinks (ideally

HIT THE

one every 15 minutes, even during swimming), and offer healthy, hydrating snacks like fresh fruit or cut-up veggies.

STAY SMART IN THE SUN.

ROAD THIS SUMMER

Whether you’re at the ocean or a mountain lake, it’s important to be sensible about sun exposure, which can lead to skin and eye damage if kids aren’t protected.

“Children less than 6 months old should be kept out of direct sunlight,” said Paul Moore, MD, Shawnee Mission Internal Medicine and

2

Pediatrics. “If that’s not practical, I recommend long-sleeved, lightweight, tight-weave clothing and a hat with a 3-inch brim. If necessary, sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of greater than 15 can be used on small areas such as the infant’s face or back of hands.”

For babies older than 6 months and toddlers, use a barrier sunscreen that contains zinc oxide.

Older children should wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater.

AND MAKE SURE IT DOESN’T HIT BACK.

With the kids out of school for the summer, many families plan to travel.

Whether you’re going around the state or across the country, it’s important to do your homework, so everyone can feel their best and enjoy the trip.

With some commonsense precautions, parents can minimize the “ouch” factor and maximize the fun side of summer.

3

BE PREPARED FOR BUGS AND BITES. If you’re spending time hiking or camping, you’re likely to encounter critters that bite. The best way to keep them at bay is by using insect repellent.

“For children over 2 months of age, 10-30% DEET is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics,” said Moore. “10% DEET is effective for about two hours and 30% is effective for five hours. Use the lowest concentration needed to provide the required length of coverage, and use just enough repellent to cover your child’s exposed skin.”

WATCH OUT AROUND WATER. Whether you’re at a beach or chilling by the hotel pool – supervise your children in the water at all times. For young children, that means going in the water with them and keeping them within arm’s length; for older kids, it means a poolside adult needs to

Ask the Doctor

Amanda Healy, MD,

Obstetrics & Gynecology, on the Zika virus.

What is Zika virus? And how do people get it?

Zika virus is a viral infection spread primarily by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. These mosquitos can carry a variety of other viral infections and are found in every continent except Antarctica. There are also cases of Zika virus infection through sexual transmission from an infected male to a female partner.

What makes Zika virus so frightening?

While 80 percent of those infected with the Zika virus have no symptoms, the infection in pregnancy can result in fetal transmission (meaning the virus can cross the placenta and infect the baby while in the womb). Some infants with Zika virus develop microcephaly (a medical condition in which the circumference of the head is smaller than normal because the brain has not developed properly or has stopped growing), blindness or other birth defects.

We don’t yet know the rate at which mothers pass the virus to their offspring or how often those babies will exhibit birth defects.

To find a doctor, visit ShawneeMission.org or call the Women’s Health Navigator Program, 24/7, at 913-632-6363.

Shawnee Mission Health | Summer 2016

What if I’m pregnant, and my partner or I have traveled to a Zika virus-affected country?

If you may have been exposed, contact your OB/GYN’s office to see if testing for Zika virus is appropriate. We had several patients who required testing – including myself – after traveling to affected areas prior to the CDC travel advisory.

Although it is best to avoid travel to countries with Zika virus, we will continue to see women who are exposed due to unavoidable travel.

Current CDC guidelines recommend testing for pregnant women who have traveled to an area with known Zika virus activity within two to 12 weeks of their return to the U.S. Additional screening is recommended for women with symptoms of the virus, which include rash, joint pain, fever, or conjunctivitis (inflammation of the eyes).

Even if it isn’t Zika virus, it could require medical attention.

If your partner traveled to an affected area and has symptoms, he should see his physician for testing for the virus.

Even if he does not have symptoms, the CDC recommendation is to use condoms each time you have sex, or avoid sex for the duration of your pregnancy.

Should I consider delaying pregnancy due to the Zika virus?

If there’s no rush, you might consider waiting until after summer to conceive, so you can avoid “mosquito season” in the Midwest. If now is the best time to try, with regard to your age, the age of your other children, or work/lifestyle constraints, then you should proceed as planned.

To reduce their risk this summer, pregnant women should keep an eye on the changing recommendations from the CDC and limit travel.

If the disease begins to spread locally, pregnant women will need to limit time outdoors, keep skin covered and use an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)approved insect repellent as directed when outside. It won’t be a good summer for camping!

It is important to remember that not all pregnant mothers exposed to Zika will transmit the virus to their babies, and not all of those babies will have birth defects. Please talk with your doctor about your concerns. If you want more information on Zika virus in pregnancy, visit CDC.gov.

The Facts

How much sleep is needed?

With our society being busier than ever, it’s easy to put sleep on the back burner instead of giving it the priority it deserves. We sleep for a reason and by not making it a priority we’re doing a disservice to our health. To keep your body healthy long term, you have to allow enough time in bed to get the sleep it requires to heal every day. If you aren’t allowing your body to heal, you will start to feel the effects. Aren’t you tired of being tired? Look a the chart below to find out how much sleep is recommended by age group. The key on the right explains the difference in ranges.
