Exercise & Fitness

Get your training program off to a fast start by choosing the right athletic shoes.

If you choose the wrong shoes, you could end up on the couch with shin splints or aching heels – or worse. Keep these tips in mind to make sure you get the most benefit from your efforts. kk

Find out whether you pronate excessively, which is when the heel angles inward.

Some pronation is normal, but when the foot stays in this pronated or flat position too long, it can lead to pain or injury.

kk

kk

If possible, purchase your athletic shoes from a specialty store. The staff can provide valuable insight about the type of shoe you need, and help with the proper fitting.

Try on athletic shoes after a workout or at the end of the day, when your feet will be their largest.

kk

kk

kk

Wear the same type of sock you’ll wear for that sport.

When the shoe is on your foot, you should be able to wiggle your toes.

Don't suffer through a break-in period.

Running and walking shoes should feel comfortable in the store.

Run Much?

Running is often described as one of the best forms of physical fitness for the human body. However, it can also be one of the most harmful exercises. Everything from ill-fitting shoes to improper running form can cause serious injury over time to a runner's body. Complete a one-on-one running assessment with SportsCare to ensure you are receiving the maximum benefit from your workout while preventing injuries. Learn more at ShawneeMission.org/runningclinic.

Nutrition Spotlight

Chicken Breast with Cider Glaze, Brussels Sprouts & Shallots 2 cups cider vinegar 1 cup honey 1 dry Serrano or chipotle pepper 1 apple, cored and roughly chopped 2 chicken breasts, boneless, skin on, approximately 6oz. each ½ pound small Brussels sprouts, stems trimmed, outer leaves removed and discarded 2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced ½ cup chicken stock 1 tsp. lemon juice 1 oz. unsalted butter 1 small branch of fresh rosemary, leaves minced 2 chiltepin chiles, crushed (or a pinch of red pepper flakes) Kosher salt Canola or grape seed oil Preheat an oven to 375°. Combine the cider vinegar, honey, apple pieces and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan and place on a medium hot burner. Bring to a low steady boil. At the same time, heat a sauté pan that is large enough to hold the two chicken breasts over

a medium hot burner. After the pan gets hot, press the serrano pepper to the bottom of it, just until you begin to smell its slightly smoky aroma. Press the other side of the pepper to the pan as well. Leaving the pan on the burner, place the chile in a small bowl and cover with warm water. After it has soaked for 10 minutes, add it to the simmering vinegar-honey mixture. Discard the soaking water.

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt. Add two tablespoons of canola oil to the hot sauté pan and place the chicken breasts in the pan skin side down.

Cook until the skin browns.

Add the Brussels sprouts, one tablespoon of canola oil, and a bit of salt to a small baking pan. Stir the Brussels sprouts to coat with the oil and salt, then place the pan in the hot oven. They should take 25 minutes to cook. Stir them once or twice during that time.

After the skin side of the chicken has browned, turn the breasts over, then place the entire pan in the

oven. Set a timer for eight minutes.

After eight minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Then remove the chicken from the pan and allow it to rest on a plate in a warm spot, like the back of the stove.

Drain the oil from the pan that the chicken breasts cooked in and return it to a medium hot burner. Add a teaspoon of fresh oil, the shallots, and a pinch of salt. Cook for two minutes. Add the chicken stock and reduce until 3 tablespoons remain, then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and butter.

Strain the vinegar-honey mixture into a cold sauté pan that, again, is large enough to hold the two chicken breasts. Discard the apple pieces and dry serrano. Place the pan of vinegar over a medium burner and let the liquid reduce until syrupy. Add the chicken breasts. Coat both sides with the glaze and remove from the heat.

Add the cooked Brussels sprouts to the pan of shallots and butter sauce and stir to coat. Season with a pinch or two of salt, then divide the Brussels sprouts and sauce between two plates. Place a chicken breast on each plate.

Sprinkle with rosemary and chiltepin chiles and serve.

Here’s the skinny on how

20s

In your 20s, estrogen is at its peak, giving most women their bestever complexion: luminous, taut and even-toned. It’s not all sunshine and roses though.

The shift in hormone levels around your period can lead to acne — with more oil production, larger pores and breakouts along the jaw line, even if you’ve never had a pimple before.

Birth control pills can regulate hormones and improve chronic acne by balancing hormone levels.

For occasional breakouts, some women apply an acne mask two to three times a week, and use spot treatments as needed.

The skin around the eyes is very delicate and can show lines and wrinkles before the rest of the face.

So it’s a great time to get into the habit of wearing a light eye cream, morning and night.

“Be careful of excesses with nutrition supplements,” said Reisz. “Biotin, a common ingredient in vitamins for hair, skin and nails, can disrupt thyroid function.

Get your nutrition through food!”

Shawnee Mission Health | Winter 2017

our skin changes with age

Any woman can have a bad hair day. But how about a "bad skin day?” Many women have them, and the main reason isn’t the sun or the weather.

It’s hormones.

“Changes in hormones are the leading cause of changes in our skin as we age,” said Colleen Reisz, MD, dermatologist with Shawnee Mission Health (SMH).

“Changes in pigment and hair growth, acne, photosensitivity and the movement of fat and fluid around the eyes, all have some relationship with hormones. The risk of skin injury increases because our skin becomes more fragile.”

No matter what your age, though, there are a few easy steps you can take to help skin stay smooth, firm and glowing.

From Colleen Reisz, MD, dermatologist with Shawnee Mission Health.

30s

In your 30s, expect lower levels of skin-tightening collagen, elastin and skin-plumping hyaluronic acid.

Cell turnover slows, which means skin bounces back less easily from inflammation. Dryness and acne are likely to show up during this decade, too.

To treat it, ramp up your anti-aging skin regimen, especially at night when skin naturally rests and repairs.

Try adding products containing retinol, a vitamin A derivative that thickens skin by increasing collagen production.

“In the later 30s,” said Reisz, “lines of expression become more prominent. It’s important to realize that a happy, animated face is its own form of beauty. An anti-aging skincare regimen is fine, but don’t take it too far. Be happy in your own skin.”

Whether you're juggling kids or a busy career, now's the time to establish a five-minute makeup routine to keep looking fresh and polished all day.

In your 4 0 s , you m ay al so f ind your sk in feel s significantly drier. However, there’s a dif ference between oil-dry and moisture-dry skin types, so you might not need extra oil in your products until you reach menopause. For moisture-dry skin, choose products that are rich in hyaluronic acid, which is great for its water-retaining properties.

“No matter what your age,” said Reisz, “it’s still important to remember the basics. Always apply sunscreen and avoid excessive weight gain or weight loss.”

40s

Your Winter Skincare Regimen Here’s a quick guide to help keep your skin feeling great this winter season: kk

Use a good moisturizer.

Moisturizing your skin is important all year long, but especially over the winter.

Cold air can dry out your skin more than anything. Choosing the right moisturizer will hydrate your skin and slow the dehydration process.

kk

Don’t forget sunscreen.

Cold weather doesn’t mean you’re safe from sunburn.

You should apply sunscreen to your skin 365 days a year.

Besides wrinkles and dark spots, the sun can also lead to various skin cancers and other health-related problems.

kk

Watch what you drink. Soda and other caffeinated drinks can have a diuretic effect. Stay hydrated by drinking more water. Also, certain fatty acids found in fish and flaxseed oils may help replenish natural oils in your skin, so adding them to your diet could help, too.

Separating popular myths from actual facts.

Let’s face it. Between our family, friends and the Internet, there’s no shortage of opinions about good parenting.

The problem is, no matter how well-meaning that advice may be, a lot of the information can be contradictory.

It can get frustrating fast, whether you’re caring for a newborn, a pre-adolescent or a teenager.

“Make sure the sources you are using are reliable,” said Katie Lorentz, MD, pediatrician with Shawnee Mission Primary Care, “and based on research and evidence, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and HealthyChildren.org.”

G 8 A: No.

case anything happens.

protection 24/7.

Reality: A newborn can’t be

spoiled. It’s that simple. If your baby calms down when you pick her up, she needed to be picked up. In fact, responding to your baby’s needs at this early stage helps her develop a crucial sense of trust in you and in the world.

After your baby is six months old or so, it’s okay to let her cry for a few minutes because by then she knows you’ll soon be there for her.

Myth: Babies who walk early and talk early are the brightest of their peer group.

Reality: Earlier-than-average

talking and walking skills don’t mean anything in the big picture. Those highly noticeable developmental milestones are merely a function of motor development: Just as you can't walk until you learn to crawl (usually), you can't talk until you learn to manipulate your mouth.

Both require the miracle of normal nerve growth, which will occur in each child at its own pace, soaring IQ or no soaring IQ.

Reality: The facts are clear.

Reality: Being overprotective

may do more harm than good. After all, kids need a broad set of experiences as they grow up. If they’re fearful and home-centered, it can really limit their potential. The fact is, many of the things we worry about are either exceedingly rare or eminently preventable.

For example, Lyme disease is difficult to catch and easy to treat – not a cause to dress a child in long pants on a hot summer day.

Yes, it still pays to be cautious – bike helmets really do reduce the threat of head injury by 80 percent, and checking for ticks after a hike in the woods just makes sense. But rather than going overboard, divert your energies towards teaching your children to take care of themselves, and to make their own evaluations of what's safe and what's not.

“It can be difficult to find that balance of doing your best to keep them safe, while still letting them spread their wings,” said Lorentz.

Having another teen in the car greatly increases the risk of a crash. And the risk increases with each additional passenger.

That’s why so many states, including Kansas, have passenger restrictions written into their teen driving statutes. By the way, the same goes for driving with a sibling in the car.

“And don’t forget the basics,” said Lorentz, “like always wearing a seat belt and not texting while driving.”

Remember, being a parent can be one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences of your life. But that doesn't mean it's easy.

After all, kids don’t come with an owner’s manual.

So it’s important not to let myths and misconceptions get in the way. At the end of the day, the most important thing is to create a nurturing environment where your children feel like they can thrive and develop into confident, independent and caring adults.

Ask the Doctor

Kimberly Roys, MD, radiologist, with facts about breast health.

When do today’s health experts say women should start getting mammograms?

Experts in breast surgery, radiology, and obstetrics and gynecology all recommend that women start screening mammography at age 40.

What’s a baseline mammogram, and how does it impact breast health?

A baseline mammogram is a screening exam obtained preferably at age 40. It provides an important point of reference for subsequent screening or diagnostic mammograms.

The baseline exam can also help in diagnosing small abnormalities, such as lumps, before they are clinically evident, which can increase a woman's survival.

10

Is the risk for breast cancer a factor in choosing which kind of birth control to use?

Absolutely. Studies show excess estrogen is linked with some types of breast cancer.

So if a woman has had breast cancer or is at higher than average risk for breast cancer, the patient and her health care provider may opt to use estrogen-free methods of contraception, such as a diaphragm or IUD. Breastfeeding benefits the baby's immune system. But are there health benefits for moms, too?

Lactation for one year or more lowers the risk of breast cancer compared to those who have never breast-fed.

Plus, it helps mother-child bonding.

Shawnee Mission Health | Winter 2017

The risk for breast cancer increases with age. But what can lower these risks?

Leading a healthy lifestyle can make a big impact.

This includes maintaining a healthy weight, abstaining from alcohol, exercising regularly, and avoiding tobacco products. Also performing monthly breast self-exams, and receiving a yearly clinical breast exam can help detect cancers at a much earlier stage.

When should a woman opt for a 3D mammogram rather than 2D? Compared to a 2D exam, the breast cancer detection rate is increased by approximately 40% with the 3D technology.

Many young women think they don’t need it because

they haven’t had a problem.

However, most young women have dense breasts, and breast cancer is very hard to detect in dense breasts with 2D mammography.

What is a diagnostic mammogram?

A diagnostic exam is obtained in a woman who presents with a new breast lump or a mammographic abnormality.

This can be performed with either 2D or 3D technology, and may be followed by a breast ultrasound. If a biopsy is recommended, this will be discussed at length with the patient and arrangements for follow-up will be made at that time.

The Facts

Five things every mom should know before introducing your child to a dog.

Let’s imagine you and your child are having a fantastic day at the park or the playground. While you’re out, you see someone walking an absolutely adorable dog. It’s the perfect opportunity for your daughter or son to begin a lifetime of happy moments with man’s best friend. That’s why it’s so important to make sure this first interaction is handled just right. Remember these five rules to keep your child happy and safe.

1

Politely ask the dog owner’s permission to pet the dog.

The fact is, not all dogs do well with “Hello.” If the dog stiffens his body, turns away or looks uncomfortable, just back off and let him go.

2 3 4 5 And whether it’s outdoors at a park or indoors in your home, young children and dogs should always be monitored by an adult.

14

If the owner says it’s all right, let the dog approach you to initiate the interaction.

Allow the dog to smell your hand.

Don’t stoop down and hover over the dog.

Depending on the size of the dog, you and your child may need to kneel down, so you’re on the same level with the dog.

Humans may think dogs like to be patted on top of their heads, but they really don’t. Petting the dog under the chin or on the front of the chest is sure to be appreciated.

Like all first acquaintances, it’s best to keep things short and sweet. No big hugs or kisses that might make it seem like you’re invading the dog’s space.

From Mike Deathe, owner/instructor K.I.S.S. Dog Training.
