Spotlight Second Act

JUNE 2019

Second Act Beat the Heat and Stay Hydrated Hydration is essential for good health. Here are a few tricks to help you stay well hydrated all day long.

A free program for adults 50 and beyond

On the Upswing to Recovery Phillip Rains had been retired for a grand total of eight days. He just finished winching an antique tractor onto a trailer when he disappeared from his wife’s view. She found him, face-down in the gravel, unconscious and not breathing.

1. Always carry a water bottle

Rains, now 63, had suffered a massive heart attack; one so severe that Rains remained sedated for two weeks while medical providers worked to restore full function to his heart. Recovery was slow, but despite the odds, he did recover. His heart was working again. Trouble was, much of the rest of his body wasn’t.

2. Drink a glass of water before every meal Not only can this help you stay hydrated, but it can also boost metabolism.

Rains was transferred to SIH Upswing Recovery, a then brand-new program at SIH St. Joseph Memorial Hospital in Murphysboro. Upswing provides services for patients who no longer need acute hospital care, but do need skilled care and rehabilitation not easily provided at home. This year, SIH Upswing Recovery celebrates five years of helping patients like Rains regain strength, mobility and endurance.

3. Eat hydrating foods Examples include watermelon, oranges, and cucumbers 4. Swap out caffeine for lemon water Lemons are full of vitamins and nutrients that are sure to wake you up and keep you going.

Rains says SIH Upswing Recovery taught him how to live again. “I was intubated so long and was out of it so much, that I couldn’t do anything for myself anymore,” he recalls. He spent exactly a month at SIH Upswing Recovery and a few weeks of therapy at home, retraining and relearning to do even the simplest tasks.

5. Take your water to the next level If you get bored with plain water, try adding herbs such as mint or infuse your water with fruit.

“At first I couldn’t walk or even feed myself. Look at me today: it’s obvious that I walk into a lot of restaurants now,” he says with a hearty laugh. “I just can’t say enough good about them. I would recommend all of them to anyone.” Simply put, SIH Upswing Recovery helped Rains get his life back.

Rethink Your Snacking Healthy eating is important for everybody, not just for those with chronic diseases. One way to improve healthy eating is by meal planning. Many people only meal plan for their breakfasts, lunches and dinners, but it is also important to meal plan or think ahead about your snacks! When it comes to snacking, people often first think of foods that are high in sugar or added fats but there are lots of other options! Snacks can help curb hunger while adding nutritious energy boosts for your day. Snacks are also a great opportunity to fit in another serving of fruits and vegetables! Some tips to remember when planning snacks include: •

Know your portion sizes beforehand, use measuring cups and spoons to ensure correct portions!

•

Avoid mindless snacking in front of the TV or computer or while reading or driving.

•

Stock up on healthy options so you always have them on hand.

•

Choose fresh fruits and fresh vegetables whenever possible.

•

Snack on unsalted nuts and seeds to cut back on sodium.

Some healthy snack choices include almonds, celery and peanut butter, hard boiled eggs, cheese sticks, fruit and veggies, olives, pumpkin seeds and many more! Use these tips and suggestions to change your relationship with snacking. Plan ahead to ensure that snacking doesn’t throw you off of your day of healthy eating!
