THE BENEFITS OF By Jennifer Capelle
Roots Raw Juice Bar uses the most organic and locally sourced ingredients possible.
Juicing is an easy way to consume huge amounts of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants, boost your energy, enhance your immune system, and more. The vitamins and minerals that are easily utilized from fresh juice are necessary to maintain healthy body functioning and prevent diseases. Juices are typically easier to absorb because they are a concentration of super fine nutrients with minimal fiber to be digested. Your stomach doesn’t have teeth and some fruits and vegetables aren’t easily digested.
• Healthiest Smoothies • Salads • Wraps • Homemade Kombucha • Acai Bowls • Juice Cleanses 1-5 day juice cleanse for weight loss and detox
The heating processes like frying, boiling and even steaming mostly have a negative impact on the nutrition value of foods. Juicing utilizes raw foods and processes them without major heating. Therefore, they are consumed in their near natural state for optimal nutrition. Juicing allows people with busy lifestyles to supercharge their intake of essential vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. And if you’re not a big into fruits and vegetables, it’s a good way to get them in. The FDA suggests we consume at least four vegetables and two fruits daily, you should keep that in mind when choosing a juice so you receive your intake in a single cup! Juicing should be embraced by everyone.

WHAT ABOUT THE 777TH MILE? Martial Arts and Character Development
Dr. Sheila Rochefort-Hoehn What is the most important benefit from practicing martial arts? Is it the acquisition of self-defense skills, improving one’s health, or toning one’s body? Or is it something more profound? The
most important result from practicing martial arts cultivates all of these benefits. It is an appreciation for, and an embracement of the journey it takes to go from a novice student to the coveted black belt. Earning a black belt, like many life goals we set for ourselves, is largely contingent upon utilizing skill sets, and character traits like perseverance, discipline, resilience, self-efficacy, focus, flexibility, and the ability to face and conquer one’s fears. It takes a lot of time, work, and patience to cultivate these things. Learning martial arts helps children develop the skills, tenacity, and discipline it takes to complete the 999 miles that come after the proverbial first step; so they can develop the life-enhancing skills and character traits that will transcend into other areas of their lives. It is the journey we take toward any of our goals that defines us as people. There used to be a misconception that character traits were fixed. Kids were either “good” or “bad.” Research has shown us that character is malleable. Though some skills and traits may come naturally, many more can be developed. In the right environment, children can learn lessons that greatly affect and even alter the trajectory of their lives. So, in a world where instant gratification is expected, and at our fingertips, how do we teach our children there are many priceless things in life that take time and hard work? How do we help our kids choose the pain of discipline over the ease of distraction and momentary happiness? And, why is the ability to do so such a valuable life skill?
Children who can delay instant gratification — showing patience while working hard toward something, take less for granted, have better problem-solving skills, are more responsible, possess higher resilience in the face of challenges, exhibit fewer behavioral problems, and do better in school. As adults, they have better relationships and an increased sense of fulfillment and satisfaction with life. When kids are able to work hard for something and earn it, they develop true self-esteem and self-respect. They also develop respect for others and what they may face in their own lives. The development of this deeply rooted self-esteem and respect is far more meaningful than the sense of themselves they develop from constantly just being told how great they are. Sure, kids need praise and positive affirmations, but they need to feel such praise is genuine and affirmative. Have you ever heard a child who felt defeated respond to a well-meaning parent with the phrase “you’re only saying that because you love me?” Children who develop true self-esteem know they can feel good about themselves even when they fail at something. They know that a particular failure doesn’t define them and that they can get back up and try again. In the martial arts, cultivating the mind and spirit is as important as the physical training and toughening it takes to become a black belt. To achieve balance of mind, body, and spirit, Martial Arts emphasize self-discipline and being mindful of the present moment while pursuing the future. We provide small, measurable goals that continuously challenge kids to grow physically, mentally, and emotionally beyond their perceived limitations and comfort zones. We teach them to take healthy risks, to do what feels uncomfortable, scary, or hard when it is necessary to enjoy the benefits that come in the long term. They learn what it is like to take a hit and to get knocked down; and what it takes to stand back up and keep moving so they can grow and eventually succeed. (Continued on page 24)

GETTING STARTED WITH FITNESS: By Marie Tortora Reluctant to start a new fitness program? What’s been keeping you? Perhaps you are afraid it may be another failed attempt or the task itself seems daunting. That is a shared fear of many people. Don’t look at starting a new workout program as a temporary change, but think about beginning a workout program as a permanent lifestyle change. This will help keep your goals realistic and attainable. Perhaps you even look at exercise as something that is a chore, but changing your mindset will help you stick with it and enjoy the journey into making a lifelong change.
FOR THE RELUCTANT EXERCISER As you consider leading a healthier, more active life, think about your reasons for making this change. What is motivating you to take the next step to a healthier you? Many of us are motivated by the thought of improving our appearance initially, but there are many reasons to begin an exercise program. Being able to move about more easily in our daily lives, reducing stress and anxiety, improving our general health, becoming stronger, and living longer are also good reasons. As we age, our bodies lose muscle and can become stiff. Sticking with a regular
exercise program or having an active lifestyle can enhance your quality of life as you age. Pick a few specifics that are most important to you, to remind yourself about why you started this journey along the way. TIPS FOR PICKING THE BEST WORKOUT FOR YOU AND WAYS TO STICK WITH IT! Pick an activity you might enjoy. Sometimes non-traditional forms of exercise like playing basketball with a friend or going for a hike can be more enjoyable as an activity and don’t have to feel like a chore. (Continued on page 26)
(Continued from page 22) Students are trained cognitively, strategically, and emotionally in how to deal with disappointment, whether it’s not placing at a tournament, not breaking a board on the first try, or failing a belt testing. Challenging kids in such a way; and holding them to higher standards lets them understand on a cognitive level how valuable and capable they are. The lessons learned also resonate in every part of their being because they have lived through them. As a result, they are less likely to become a target or to be victimized, they experience less fear and anxiety, and they are able to manage daily stress more effectively. Through time and hard work, martial art training can help to cultivate well-rounded, and resilient kids who can walk the 999 others steps it takes to complete the journey to success.

RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY
Starting anew after a mastectomy By Donovan Rosas, M.D.
Breast reconstruction is a decision, while daunting, no woman should fear and all should have the opportunity to consider. A reconstructive surgeon offers: guidance, education, restoration, and finally enhancement. The surgeon’s goal is for you to know all of your options, guide you on your journey, restore you to your prediagnosis self (both physically and emotionally) and offer enhancements to allow the pride befitting a cancer survivor to shine through. The Woman’s Health Care and Cancer Rights Act is a federal statute which was passed in 1998. It mandates coverage of: 1. All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed including all implants and expander prostheses; 2. Surgery of the other (contralateral) breast to produce a symmetrical appearance 3. Treatment of physical complications of all stages of the mastectomy, including lymphedema (swelling) Despite this federal mandate, many women remain in the dark regarding their options. Studies have shown that as little as 23% of potential reconstructive candidates are aware of their myriad of options (meaning ¾ of all patients remain in the dark). The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American College of Surgeons have recently undertaken successful initiatives to address this knowledge gap with a quantifiable rise in the rate of reconstruction. It is crucial that patients understand that this is their fight, their right (by law), and their choice (although they are far from alone). You do not choose your diagnosis but you do choose your reconstruction. Today, there are various options available to patients and treatment plans are uniquely tailored to the individual. There are prosthetic reconstructions and autologous (tissue based) reconstructions and within these broader categories multiple options. No two breasts, patients or cancers are the same. As such, no one approach is best suited for every individual. Prosthetic reconstructions are those that employ silicone/saline implants or implants in conjunction with
14
adjustable expanders in order to restore the breast mound. Patients undergoing mastectomy can proceed immediately to implants at the time of surgery (so long as they are willing to accept a modest downsize) in a single stage. Alternatively, those that seek an upsize can have adjustable expanders placed at the time of surgery and subsequently over the course of the next 6-8 weeks expand the breast skin envelope to their desired size. These patients will then return to the OR to have the expander replaced with a permanent implant. The Woman’s Health Care and Cancer Rights Implant based reconstructions offer flexibility and a Act is a federal statute which was passed in relatively rapid recovery accounting for upwards of 70% 1998. It mandates coverage of: of reconstructions performed. Autologous based reconstructions that borrow from areas of relative excess (fat/skin) to restore the breast have numerous donor site options but the abdomen is by far the most popular. As such, this has come to be known as the “tummy tuck” breast reconstruction. Patients enjoy the dual benefits of a breast reconstruction and an abdominal restoration. These operations and the subsequent recoveries are more intense relative to implant based options. However, the long-term patient satisfaction rates are high. These procedures are growing in popularity among younger women and BRCA positive patients who are seeking low maintenance reconstructions that will age with them over time.
1. All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed including all implants and expander prostheses; 2. Surgery of the other (contralateral) breast to produce a symmetrical appearance 3. Treatment of physical complications of all stages of the mastectomy, including lymphedema (swelling)
For those patients undergoing unilateral or single sided procedures, it is imperative that they be counseled with regards to symmetry procedures, including but not limited to augmentation, reduction, or mastopexy (lift). These steps are among the final one’s of any patient’s reconstructive journey but no less important. Restoration of symmetry is often as important as restoration of the breast themselves. This also allows for selective “enhancements” empowering the patient to turn their diagnosis into an opportunity for creating a stronger more confident cancer-free self. In summary, cancer changes the lives of everyone it touches. A plastic and reconstructive surgeon has the opportunity to allow survivors to make it a change for the better.
