The Bushi Ban After School Program includes FREE pick up from local area schools, a quiet, supervised workplace to do homework, an afterschool snack, physical activity every day including formal Martial Arts training twice a week. Dedicated martial arts training for children and adults is available most evenings where students learn self-defense, physical skills, and forms leading up to the level of Black Belt and beyond.

TRICK OR TREATING SAFTEY TIPS FROM THE CDC Swords, knives, and other costume accessories should be short, soft, and flexible. Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult. Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you. Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them. Limit the amount of treats you eat. Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you. Always WALK from house to house. Always test make-up in a small area first. Remove it before bedtime to prevent possible skin and eye irritation. Look both ways before crossing the street. Use established crosswalks wherever possible. Lower your risk for serious eye injury by not wearing decorative contact lenses. Only walk on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe. Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls. Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers. Enter homes only if you’re with a trusted adult. Only visit well-lit houses. Never accept rides from strangers. Never walk near lit candles or luminaries. Be sure to wear flame-resistant costumes.

Spotting Lung Cancer Early – Free Lung Cancer Awareness Event at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital
SUGAR LAND – (September 30, 2015) – Lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer among men and women in the United States. More people die each year of lung cancer than colon, breast and prostate cancer combined. Despite new diagnostic techniques, most patients are still diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease. Lung cancer screenings help high risk individuals receive a diagnosis and treatment plan at an early stage, when the disease is easier to treat – and possibly cure. If you’re a current or former smoker, you may be eligible for lung cancer screenings that Medicare and private insurance now cover. Following a U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendation, insurers this year began covering annual low-dose radiation CT scans for certain patients. Q: Who is eligible for screening? A:.Individuals 55 to 77 years of age who currently smoke or have quit smoking in the past 15 years; have a tobacco smoking history of at least 30 “pack years” (an average of one pack a day for 30 years, two packs a day for 15 years, etc.); and receive a written order from a physician. Q: Does insurance cover the cost? A: Lung cancer screenings are covered for eligible patients by private insurance and Medicare, but a copay or deductible may apply. Medicare requires providers to include smoking cessation counseling prior to the scan. Call your insurance company for more information. Cost for self-pay is $225. Q: What happens during screening? A: A CT machine using low-dose radiation scans and takes images of the lungs while patients lie on a table. “Aside from giving up cigarettes, lung cancer screening with CT is the most significant development in reducing deaths from lung cancer,” said Robert Malone, M.D., Medical Director of Radiology at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital. “Through screenings, we can detect lung cancer when it is small – long before it becomes symptomatic or spreads outside the lungs.” If you think you are eligible, or want more information, please call our nurse navigator at 281.276.8549. Learn more at houstonmethodist.org/lung-screening, or visit our Facebook page at fb.com/methodistsugarland for the latest news, events and information. FREE LUNG CANCER AWARENESS EVENT Join us on Thursday, November 12 at 6 p.m. at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital’s Conference Center to learn more about the risks, screening, diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. A short discussion led by a lung cancer expert will be followed by an opportunity to speak one-on-one with members of the lung cancer team to determine if lung screening is needed. Registration required. Register online at houstonmethodist. org/events or call 281-274-7500. Submit your articles to info@siennalist.com

FIT FOR THE HOLIDAYS A LIFETIME
BY JAMIE DEROUEN CROSSFIT BETTER THAN YESTERDAY 832-876-0890 THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING AND WITH THAT COMES THE HOLIDAY BULGE! FAMILIES WILL GATHER AROUND THE TABLE AND FEAST ON DISHES THAT HAVE BEEN HANDED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. BUT JUST BECAUSE THERE IS A DAY OR TWO OF INDULGING DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO THROW YOUR FITNESS GOALS OUT THE WINDOW! DIET PLUS EXERCISE IS HOW WE LOSE WEIGHT AND KEEP IT OFF. THERE IS A SAYING, “YOU CANNOT OUT TRAIN A BAD DIET”, AND THIS IS TRUE UNLESS YOU ARE JJ WATT. FUN FACT, JJ WATT DOESN’T EAT POORLY AND EXPECT TO STAY LEAN OR EXPECT THOSE MEALS TO FUEL HIS BODY. IF I PUT JUNK IN MY BODY, TWO THINGS CAN - AND MOST LIKELY - WILL HAPPEN. ONE I WILL NEVER LOSE ANY WEIGHT BECAUSE I AM STORING FAT FASTER THAN I AM BURNING IT, AND TWO MY EXERCISE SUFFERS BECAUSE I AM NOT PROVIDING MY BODY WITH THE FUEL IT NEEDS TO PERFORM WELL. OK YOU GET THE POINT, NOW THE QUESTION IS HOW CAN I DO THIS AND SEE RESULTS? FIRST, AND THIS IS GOING TO STING A BIT, CUT OUT “THE WHITES”. REFINED SUGAR, BREADS, PASTA, WHITE RICE, AND ANY OTHER SUPER STARCHY CARBS. DRINK A LOT OF WATER, EATS A LOT OF VEGETABLES, LEAN MEATS AND FISH, NUTS AND SEEDS, AND SOME FRUIT. HERE IS AN EASY FORMULA TO HELP YOU KNOW HOW TO EAT: EAT LIKE A KING FOR BREAKFAST, A PRINCE FOR LUNCH, AND A PAUPER FOR DINNER. A KING’S BREAKFAST: MAKE YOURSELF A BIG BREAKFAST. FOR SOME THIS ISN’T EASY AND YOU WILL HAVE TO RETRAIN YOURSELVES. BUT IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL BECAUSE IT KICK-STARTS OUR METABOLISM. COFFEE (YEAH!), SAUTEE SPINACH, ONIONS, AND MUSHROOMS IN COCONUT OIL AND MIX IN 2 EGGS. ADD HALF AN APPLE ON THE SIDE. SNACK BETWEEN MEALS –YOUR METABOLISM IS LIKE A FURNACE AND WE WANT TO KEEP IT GOING. TRY FRUIT, NUTS AND SEEDS, VEGGIE SNACKS A PRINCE’S LUNCH: EAT LEAN MEATS AND VEGGIES FOR LUNCH. I LOVE SALMON, CHICKEN, OR LEAN STEAK AND GRILLED VEGETABLES, AND POSSIBLY SOME BROWN RICE. YES HAVE BROWN RICE AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR WHITE RICE! OR ADD THE PROTEIN TO A SALAD. BUT WATCH OUT ON THOSE DRESSINGS! THEY CAN CONTAIN A LOT OF SUGAR AND PRESERVATIVES AND END UP RUINING THE GOAL OF EATING A SALAD. SNACK AGAIN BETWEEN LUNCH AND DINNER. A PAUPER’S DINNER: SMALLER PORTIONS AND EAT AT LEAST A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE BED TO ALLOW TIME TO DIGEST. BAKED PORK CHOP (4-6 0Z), SWEET POTATO, AND BROCCOLI. COMBINE THIS FORMULA WITH AN EXERCISE ROUTINE – WE RECOMMEND CROSSFIT - AND YOU WILL START TO FEEL MORE ENERGIZED, SLEEP BETTER, THINK MORE CLEARLY AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOUR CLOTHES WILL EVEN FIT BETTER! EATING HEALTHY AND STAYING FIT IS A LIFESTYLE CHOICE, NOT A DIET. SO DON’T FEAR THE HOLIDAY POUNDS AND ENJOY YOURSELF A “TREAT” MEAL WITH YOUR FAMILY! October Newsletter 11
