“Spring Cleaning”That IMPROVES your smile... and your health!

While you’re in “spring cleaning” mode, be sure to add dental cleaning to your “to-do” list!

In a study of over 100,000 people in Taiwan’s national health insurance database, researcher Zu-Yin Chen, MD, a Cardiologist at the Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan, found that those who had more than one professional cleaning a year had the lowest risk of heart attack and stroke!

This study alone should motivate you to schedule regular cleanings!

Don’t “Scrimp” on Cleanings!

In-office cleanings can remove some tooth stains, but more importantly, plaque and calculus, which is critical in keeping your gums healthy. You can never achieve this level of cleaning at home!

Regardless of what your dental plan covers, your cleaning schedule should be based on your overall health and oral health needs.

For some, having their teeth cleaned twice a year is ideal. However, if you have periodontitis or a compromised immune system, you may need a cleaning every three to four months to keep gum disease at bay.

We personalize your treatment plan!

A “Normal Cleaning” may not be enough to stop gum disease, once established. Advanced gum disease may require a “Deep Cleaning,” which is also referred to as a root planing and scaling.

Root planing smooths root surfaces and removes infected gum tissue so your gums can heal. Plaque has a harder time adhering to a smooth surface.

Scaling removes hardened plaque deposits, or calculus, from the surfaces of your teeth, including the roots of your teeth below the gum line.

Getting regular dental cleanings can give you more than polished pearly whites and fresher breath. It can improve your overall health!

Schedule your exam and cleaning now!

We Can Soothe Your Sensitive Teeth!

Why does that happen anyway? Well, your teeth are living tissue.

The layer of tooth structure under your enamel is directly linked to the nerve center of your tooth by several tiny tubes.

The stimulation of fluid in those tubes causes nerve irritation, which can trigger tooth sensitivity.

When your enamel is worn down or if your gums have receded, the surfaces of these tiny tubes are exposed.

All it takes is a sip of hot coffee, a spoonful of ice cream or a slice of lime to set you off!

We Have Remedies That Work!

We have a number of solutions that can effectively treat tooth sensitivity, ranging anywhere from dietary recommendations and special toothpastes to topical sealants for treating your sensitivity.

Imagine the possibilities!

Enjoy your favorite foods and beverages again without discomfort!

(From: Academy of General Dentistry Fact Sheet)

It’s no fun having to cringe every time you drink hot, cold, sweet or sour beverages or eat acidic foods!

Are you a denture sufferer?

Regain your confidence and enjoy your meals!

We offer two Mini-Implants to stabilize your lower denture.

CITY NEWS

Summer like a celebrity: 4 easy ways to go boating (BPT) - Perusing social media or flipping through a magazine, it’s common to see famous faces like George Clooney or Taylor Swift cruising around on fancy boats, but guess what? You don’t have to be rich and famous to enjoy boating. Get your feet wet this summer just like the stars without breaking the bank.

The National Marine Manufacturers Association reports 71 percent of boat owners have an annual household income of less than $100,000.

That means boating is more accessible than you may think just ask the 87.3 million Americans who go boating each year.

“It’s a common misperception that boating is mega yachting, but that’s not the case - 95 percent of the 12 million boats on the water in the U.S. are under 26 feet in length,” says Carl Blackwell, president of Discover Boating. “Whether it’s

fishing, wakesurfing, sailing, riding personal watercraft or cruising - there are ways for everyone to go boating on a budget and make memories out on the water.”

Whether you’re planning a vacation or looking for a new hobby close to home, Discover Boating has insider tips for getting on the water: Test the waters: Rental options can be found on most waterways and provide access to a variety of boat types on an hourly or daily basis. Rental outfitters provide a tutorial on how to operate the boat, safety instructions and suggestions on where to go. New to market are peer-to-peer rentals that go directly through boat owners and can include captains for hire and insurance.

Enroll in boat school: Hands-

on courses are an opportunity to take the helm and learn the rules of the water. Hone your sailing, powerboating or watersports skills by mastering the basics and having fun along the way. Find a school close to home with this list of boating courses on DiscoverBoating.com.

Take a nautical getaway: A popular way to experience the boating lifestyle is by chartering with family or friends.

Want to explore a destination by water? Chartering a boat offers options bareboat (with no captain) or crewed (with captain and crew), days or weeks long, destination-hopping and more.

Pick your preferences and chart your course.

Learn to share: Share the fun and the budget. Fractional boat ownership, similar to lodging

timeshares, can be a costeffective way to use a variety of boats and divide expenses among a group of friends or other local boaters. Members reserve use of the boat online and have access to added benefits such as lessons, flotillas and

additional crew, if interested.

Want to set sail this summer?

Find your way on the water by using DiscoverBoating.com’s new Get on the Water interactive tool to find boating options in your area from rentals to charters, lessons and more.

CITY NEWS Enchanting Revival Of “Bell, Book And Candle” Coming To Stage Door Theatre

By Eleanor Hannan - Aventura Digest

“Bell, Book & Candle,” is a delightful romantic comedy best known because of the original movie version. The story begins when Gillian Holroyd, a young, sultry witch who is interested in pursuing a flirtatious affair with her upstairs neighbor Shepherd Henderson. Although witches supposedly are not capable of falling in love, they can excel at pleasures of the flesh, and

therefore with this in mind, Gillian casts a spell on the unsuspecting Henderson, when he goes downstairs to use her telephone, one Christmas Eve. Henderson’s good intentions for distributing his colorful wrapped gifts to his family and friends are completely forgotten as Gillian’s magic weaves a spell around his heart. He becomes totally bewitched falling madly in love. Gillian also learns that

love itself, is a very strong, magical, potent, and she too , falls in love under its spell.

However, once she falls in love, she loses her witch’s powers, and is unable to cast spells.

Even her cat Pywacket, her constant companion, deserts her including her family of witches and warlocks who cannot understand her change. Naturally, as some have discovered, true love, with or without supernatural

powers, does not run smoothly.

The summer camp experience of a lifetime!

Once again, South Broward hosts exciting Pre-Engineering Camp and Video Game Design Camp

During the summer months, hundreds of Hollywood kids not only have the opportunity to play basketball, soccer and swim; they can also learn how to build robots and design video games in a fun, safe and exciting environment. The camps are open to ages 7 to 12 and will cover the basics of computer programming. In Pre-Engineering, kids will learn about a rocket launch simulation program and use Minecraft to explore mechanical, nuclear and engineering projects.

JUNE • AVENTURA DIGEST • PG 10

HOLLYWOOD - Summer camp is not what it used to be. Many camps are not just simply about “having fun” anymore. Camp owners are making a niche to provide specific skills that kids can use in the future as well as have fun.

South Broward High School located in Hollywood - will again come alive as kids learn about computer science, video games and engineering. For the last five years, South Broward has hosted a Pre-Engineering Camp and Video Game Design Camp as part of Hollywood’s summer programs.

Last summer they ran seven weeks of camp and five of them sold out. The camp is run by Darin Koch, who is a teacher and coach at the school. The camp is taught in his classroom, where he teaches Video Game Design and Computer Programming to high school students during the regular school year.

“Eric Brown, with the City of Hollywood, and Olayemi Awofadeju (South Broward’s principal), were instrumental in getting the camp going,” said Koch. “Mr. Brown had the vision

to let us transition from a Sports Camp that had dwindling numbers, to a Technology camp. Ms. Awofadeju’s goal is to have kids on the South Broward campus to see the cool things that we are doing here.”

Koch added: “She wants people to know about our new Cambridge program and our state of the art $4 million dollar pool. I want to fuel a desire to explore and design games as opposed to just playing them,” said Darin Koch, a computer science teacher at South Broward who leads the three different kinds of camps. “Each camp has a beginner level and an advanced level.”

Another impressive thing about the camp is that “about half of the kids each week are returnees from the previous week or summer,” Koch explained. “We group them so that they can move at as fast a pace as they can handle. One of the strengths of the camp is the student to counselor ratio of about 4 kids to one counselor.

My counselors are awesome. I have college students working and my best high school students volunteering. So there is

plenty of help for any camper that needs it.”

The camps are open to ages 7 to 12 and will cover the basics of computer programming. In PreEngineering, kids will learn about a rocket launch simulation program and use Minecraft to explore mechanical, nuclear and engineering projects. Koch said students will use what they learn to create engineering projects; such as amusement parks, farms and other structures that have selfsustaining energy sources. In a computer animation segment, campers will learn the basics of graphic design by using Photoshop.

One student put his dad’s face on the incredible hulk last year. Another assignment is learning to create your own avatars and characters by students using their own imagination. He added that it is important to get some fresh air, so campers take a morning and afternoon break outside and just “cut loose.” He says “I don’t think it’s healthy for anyone to be in front of a computer screen for too long without a break. We get out the jump ropes, the footballs, and

soccer balls – go downstairs and burn some energy.”

Koch says that there is a national movement funded by major players in the tech industry such as Bill Gates of Microsoft, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, and the family of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs. That movement is called code.org and major money has been thrown at developing a class to encourage more minorities and females to learn computer science. Koch says “Whether you are coming to my summer camp or not - go to hourofcode.com sometime this summer with your kids. It is a fun and interactive way to learn computer programming. The tools are now available to learn writing computer code on your own without a teacher or being in a classroom.”

“During the summer months,

hundreds of Hollywood kids not only have the opportunity to play basketball, soccer and swim; they can also learn how to build robots and design video games in a fun, safe and exciting environment,” said Eric Brown, Hollywood parks manager. “The hands-on labs spark the imagination and inspire participants.

It’s a great way for kids who may already be interested in electronics and engineering to learn more about the field.”

“I love to see the look in kids’ eyes when the light goes on,” Koch said. “The first day may be difficult. Then as the week goes on, they build confidence and can do some cool things.”

The camps are open to both beginners and returning students. No experience is required.

The cost is $200 a week for Hollywood residents, $225 for nonresidents.

Risks Of Hiring An Aide Privately

By Terry Adler, RN Always Classic Care

Well, it happened again. The family of a former patient of our agency called with a horror story of how the patient was taken advantage of by an aide that the client hired privately.

Mrs. R. had been our patient throughout the three years that her long term care insurance paid for aide services, and she was very happy with the aides we had assigned to her. However, once she was faced with paying for the aide out-of-pocket, her friends convinced her that she could pay less money for help that she could hire herself, rather than work through an agency.

At first, Mrs. R was very happy. The aide she hired was kind and attentive. She helped shower and dress Mrs R, helping pick out her clothes, accessories, even her jewelry. The aide liked to listen to Mrs. R’s stories about her trips and the lovely momentos she bought back. Mrs. R also

liked to talk about her designer clothes and how much she spent on her wardrobe. The aide drove Mrs R around in her late husband’s Lexus, taking her shopping, to her doctors, and to the beauty salon. And when they returned home and Mrs. R reclined in her lounge chair for a little nap, the aide prepared dinner and straightened up the house. Mrs. R told her daughter that she was very happy with this aide.

Then, all of a sudden, small items began to disappear. At first, it was costume jewelry and some twenty dollar bills that Mrs R kept for house cash. Then, it was a diamond ring that Mrs R did not to wear regularly and had put away in a secret place for safe keeping. That upset Mrs. R. She became suspicious. She questioned the aide several times, even saying that if the aide needed money, she should just ask her. The aide became

defensive, even sharp and nasty.

That’s when Mrs. R called her daughter. The daughter flew down, helped her mom look for everything and questioned the aide. The aide said she was insulted, and quit.

The family could not accuse her without proof, but felt that was a lesson well learned. That’s when the daughter called us.

This is one of the main differences in hiring an aide through an agency like Always Classic Care. Credentials and references of all aides applying for work through us are carefully checked by our professional hiring staff.

Proof of training, CPR, educational certificates, and any certifications must be up-to-date Those credentials include copies of a fingerprint-screening report from the FBI that advises us that there are no prior criminal records or complaints.

edge.

Another advantage of hiring a caregiver through Always Classic Care is that as a nurse registry with over twenty years of experience, we maintain a large contact base of nurses and caregivers whom our staff knows well and can match to each client’s needs and personalities. And, in the event that the match is not ideal for either party, we can

make immediate substitutions and changes. We can provide coverage for shifts, sleep-in, weekends, and can adapt schedules with four hour minimums for basic caregiving.

Most of all, I personally oversee every case, and am available to speak to family should any problem arise. My staff is equally attentive. We are here for you.

Just call and we will prove it.

Always Classic Care has offices in three counties and is prepared to meet all your care needs. Feel free to check us out at www.AlwaysClassicCare.com, or call for more detailed information at 305-403-2622.

Budgeting tips to keep your golden years golden (BPT) -

You’ve earned your retirement, and while it’s a chance to relax and relish in your deserved time off, it’s still important to keep track of your finances, savings and budget. With that in mind, here are five ways you can maintain a healthy budget and enjoy your dream retirement.

• Understand your expenses. Your life as a retiree is different now than it was during your employed years. Gone are the dayto-day working responsibilities; and here to stay is more free-time to explore hobbies and spend with friends and family. To learn how much money you’ll need for your new lifestyle, it’s a good idea to create a budget. Record all expenditures month-to-month, and assess where to add on or cut back. Make note of large expenses (trips or big purchases), but don’t disregard them as one-offs. It’s often a good idea to anticipate and save for the next big purchase.

• Discover cost-cutting options. Whether in your home or out and about, it’s important to stay connected. However, standard cellphone plans can be expensive and often cause you to pay for services you’ll never use. TracFone offers a more cost-effective alternative by offering you reliable service on the nation’s largest and most dependable network without any contracts or hidden fees. And, for retirees who are on-the-go, TracFone’s StaySafe No-Contract Mobile Bonus pack can ensure you’re keeping the lines of communication open and that assistance - if you should need it - is just a call away. Sold at Kroger, the plan includes a TracFone Big Easy Flip phone that makes dialing easy, 800 minutes, a year of service, a hands-free headset and

a car and wall charger, and costs only $79.99 vs. a retail value of $149.99. To learn more about the cost-saving options available from TracFone, including the StaySafe bundle pack, visit www.TFStaySafe.com.

• Stay healthy. Medical bills can get expensive very quickly, so maintaining good health is essential to managing your budget. Take a cooking class, join a gym or make positive changes to your diet.

Anything you do to protect your good health will pay dividends in the years ahead.

• Practice moderation. Budgeting can feel constraining, but you don’t want to deny yourself the simple luxuries in your retirement. There’s no need to tighten the belt, but everyone can benefit from moderation. Instead of taking trips every year, plan for every other year. If eating out is your ideal treat, cut back to once a week as opposed to multiple nights out.

Exercising moderation will help you manage your money and make those moments when you do indulge even more savory.

• Control your debt. Don’t throw your years of hard work away by falling into the trap of debt. Keeping credit card use to a minimum is one way to protect against debt, and if you do have outstanding debt, allocate excess money to pay down debts with the highest interest rate first. Then, move on to the second-highest interest rate. This will reduce your overall debt more quickly.

By understanding your budget and planning accordingly, you’ll make the most of your retirement and establish financial security for the months and years ahead.

Getting That Unique Gift For Dad

By Larry Blustein - Aventura Digest

JUNE • AVENTURA DIGEST • PG 18

While Mother’s Day is easily the busiest day of the year when it comes to dinner, candy, flowers and perfume - Father’s Day is a different story all together.

Finding that something special - and different to give dad is never an easy decision to make, and as Sunday, June 21st quickly approaches, that important gift this year will indeed be something that will be unique and, yes, different.

For many, taking dad to a game, doing some outdoor things and grilling is always fun.

But what it all comes down to is to spend time with dad and enjoying the day.

“Father’s Day has always been about dad,” Robert Golden of Aventura explained. “I still get my dad something electronic like a phone - tablet - and then the family gets together and grabs some dinner. That makes everyone happy.”

While mom is not so easy to buy for, dads are open to just about everything and just about every great idea.

You can always reflect back to when you were growing up, Father’s Day, while it was important, didn’t demand the same focus that moms had been getting for decades.

For first time fathers like Frank Rojas of North Miami Beach, the day will have that special feel. His daughter was born in December of last year, so while the gift is not so important, the chance to spend time with the family is what makes his Father’s Day so special.

Rojas has always made it a point to spend time with his own

father on this day - and this year with his seven-month-old little girl, it gains more meaning.

“I look at my daughter every night before bed and that’s the only gift I need,” Rojas said. “To me, it has always been about family and a time to remember and capture in photos and video.”

Some fathers like Aaron Richmond of North Miami Beach enjoys the day and loves the gifts he receives. Growing up in a family that made a lot of fuss for every holiday, he knows that this year will be no different.

Like many, the Richmond family will go to their house of worship, have some lunch and move on with the day’s activities.

“Our family doesn’t need a reason to celebrate any day,” Richmond pointed out. “I also know that they will get me a gift that is unique - and I like unique.”

WHAT’S HOT TO GET THIS YEAR: There was a time when getting dad items such as tools and other gadgets and sporting event tickets was a safe approach to gift giving. But this year, there are some very unique ideas that those in Aventura - and in surrounding communities - will get the chance to see.

Check out what is hot and different for dad this year: CARAVELLE WATCH: This particular timepiece from Caravelle New York by Bulova comes with a laid-back polyester strap, but the elegant stainless steel case cranks up the class.

Appropriately sporty, the white chronograph dial keeps the look

clean, while the three subdials and date window provide all the information dad could need.

CHILLSNER: Love of beer is practically synonymous with dads, and now there is a way to ensure that his lager or IPA is perfectly chilled every time.

Designed like an icicle, or a “corcsicle,” the Chillsner fits into a bottle’s neck so that his drink will cool off almost instantly, down to the last drop.

GOOGLE CHROMECAST: Sometimes watching Hulu or Netflix in bed on a tablet isn’t enough. Google’s HDMI streaming stick allows media junkies to enhance their viewing by mirroring content from their smartphone or slate onto an HDTV. Chromecast supports all major apps: including Pandora, ESPN, Netflix, HBO, and several others. iDEVICES iGRILL2: This BBQ companion is the answer to precision grilling. The iGrill works with bluetooth so that dad can monitor the internal temperature of his favorite cuts from his phone. Now, he’s guaranteed to have the exact medium-rare steak he’s been craving.

GO-PRO HERO3+: SILVER: If the Old Man acts like a young man when it comes to the outdoors, maybe a tiny extreme-

sports camera that records HD video like a GoPro is up his alley. It clips easily to helmets and other surfaces and works underwater. Frame rates, light balances and other options can be controlled from the accompanying app.

CHEF’S STAR JUICER: Sure, coffee might be his morning beverage of choice, but you can help

him stay healthy by getting him hooked on a slightly more nutritional option: fresh juice.

Homemade juice has several health benefits and will help him avoid those commercial juices, which often have a lot of added sugar. This stainless steel model has a powerful motor and is dishwasher safe — a perfect entry-level juicer.

LIFESTYLES

HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21 - April 19) June is a solidly strong month with enough sweet aspects to keep you happy.

The month starts out with a big full moon in Sagittarius, 14 degrees, big as a pizza pie in the sky.

TAURUS (April 20- May 20) Lately you’ve been thinking a lot about money. Saturn, the taskmaster planet that uses tough love to teach us lessons, has moved into your eighth house of other people’s money. This house rules credit cards, student loans, taxes, mortgage payments and re-financing plans, and court and other legal cash settlements, including divorce.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20) It is time to make an important relationship official at the full moon in Sagittarius, 12 degrees. You may be getting engaged or married within five days of this date, or you may be about to sign papers with a proposed business partner. Full moons create a sense of urgency to finalize talks.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22) A big full moon in Sagittarius, 12 degrees, will start off the month. You will be working hard to finish up an assignment, and you may also consult a doctor about an ache that has been persistent or another problem that

you’d like to have more information. Full moons tend to bring a floodlight of truth and final information.

LEO (July 23- August 22) Your romantic life, or a pregnancy, baby, or child, will be joyfully on your mind as the month opens.

A full moon in Sagittarius 12 degrees will bring your attention to something regarding love, romance or children to fullness, in the first 2 weeks. Overall, this is a sweet full moon, for it will receive with a nod from Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, in your sign, dear Leo, and from Uranus, the surprise planet, orbiting in pioneering Aries.

VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sept 22) You are about to enter a wow of a month for career advancement, and it doesn’t matter if you are a Senior Vice President in a multi-national company seeking a CEO position in a competitive firm, or a mother whose children are grown and are looking to enter the work force for the first time in years every Virgo can advance and be overjoyed with the position you land.

LIBRA (Sept 23 - Oct 22) This will be an active, productive month for you, and it looks like travel is on the agenda. Traveling now would be a great idea, because later you will be seeing impressive career opportunities pop up.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 - Nov21) You’ve had remarkable cosmic support for your career since last July 2014,

and this month you will continue to receive even more sensational aspects for you to build your professional reputation and make good money. You still have Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, in your career sector (tenth house), an amazing privilege that you will continue to have until August 11, the date Jupiter will leave to enter another part of your chart.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 21) June is a solid month where you can make astounding progress, especially with partners.

Uranus will be very active this month, all in a friendly way, so romance should sparkle, and your creativity will reach all-time highs.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 19) June will be month filled with surprises, as Uranus, the planet of unexpected events will be very friendly and active all month, putting a strong emphasis on making plans for a real estate deal, improving your living arrangements, or deciding on care for a family mem-

ber. You won’t be short of work projects, for many will fly in the window all month, and probably as a result, your financial outlook will be excellent too.

Let’s get started.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18) So many times when I go on Twitter, readers ask, “When will love be coming for me, an Aquarius?” Over the past ten months, the planets have been favoring those members of your sign who are attached, for you have had the best marriage aspects of any sign since Jupiter entered Leo in July 2014.

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20) Saturn has newly set up shop in your tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement on December 23, 2014, and ever since, has asked you to focus intently on your career at the exclusion of just about anything else. Now, you get a bit of rest from the pressure, for Saturn will retrograde back into Scorpio, a water sign that blends well with yours, from June 14 to September 17.

HEALTH Tackle high blood pressure to prevent and control this silent killer (BPT) - There is some really good news about high blood pressure that you simply must hear.

“This silent killer can be prevented, and in the majority of patients who already have high blood pressure, it can be controlled,” says Dr. George Mensah, director of the Center for Translation Research and Implementation Science at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health. “Our research supports these two facts.”

Recent studies suggest that 9 out of 10 people with high blood pressure can control it; however, only about half of the people in the United States with high blood pressure do.

“We need to understand, develop, and scale up strategies to support patients and their health care providers to achieve higher control rates,” says Dr. Mensah.

Many lives can be saved by controlling high blood pressure rates, according to Dr. Mensah. For example, effectively controlling high blood pressure in 10 percent more patients can save about 14,000 lives

every year in the United States.

Work must also be done to prevent high blood pressure in children. Most babies and children have normal blood pressure. In fact, 90 percent of girls and 80 percent of boys in the United States have healthy blood pressure levels. “This is good news because if prevention begins in childhood, we have the greatest chance of most children growing into adulthood without developing high blood pressure,” says Dr. Mensah.

Anyone, including children and teens, can develop high blood pressure. The risk of developing high blood pressure increases with advancing age. And although high blood pressure is more common in African Americans, it can develop in anyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender.

In most people, a specific cause of high blood pressure cannot be identified.

Factors associated with high blood pressure include a family history of high blood pressure; a diet high in salt; not enough exercise; stress; some sleep disorders; and drinking too much alcohol. It is important

to talk with your health care provider if you have any of these factors. Everyone should: • Follow a healthy diet. Limit the amount of salt and alcohol that you consume. The NHLBI’s Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan promotes healthy eating.

• Be active. Regular physical activity can lower high blood pressure and reduce your risk for other health problems.

• Maintain a healthy weight. Staying at a healthy weight can help you control high blood pressure and reduce your risk for other health problems.

• Learn to manage and cope with stress. Learning how to manage stress, relax and cope with problems can improve your overall health.

• Check your blood pressure. The test is easy and painless and can be done at a health care provider’s office or clinic. Your health care provider can tell you how often you should be tested.

• Know your family history. Figure out if a blood relative such as a mother, father, sister, or brother has or had high blood

pressure. This will help you determine if you are at a higher risk of developing it.

Many people who adopt these healthy lifestyle habits may prevent high blood pressure or delay its onset. And if you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, it is important that you work with your health care provider for lifelong blood pressure control and follow your treatment plan closely. Early and ongoing treatment may help you avoid heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure and other high blood pressure-related problems.

6 strategies to boost your weight loss momentum (BPT) - The rules of weight loss are constantly changing-eat this, don’t eat that, take this supplement and do this exercise routine. While eating less and exercising more sounds like a simple formula, finding the right weight loss strategy isn’t always as easy as it seems.

Paul Kriegler, registered dietitian with Life Time The Healthy Way of Life Company, knows the latest trends and one-size fits all

approaches are rarely the key to success. “Over the years, I’ve coached many clients who were diligent and focused and who showed up and gave their full effort, but some small aspect of their mindset or lifestyle became a hangup,” he says. “Sometimes an element not even related to their health was holding them back.”

Kriegler notes that getting creative with your weight loss strategy will

help you enjoy the full measure of your success and offers six strategies to help drive your weight loss goals and break through those hang-ups.

1. Give the scale a break. Don’t center your weight loss success on a number. A simple scale doesn’t come close to measuring the significant changes happening in your body during your weight loss journey.

Keeping track of your daily

Are you experiencing JUNE • AVENTURA DIGEST • PG 22

weight may complicate your strategy as you experience daily highs and lows. Instead of focusing on a number each day, notice changes in how your clothes are feeling, and how you feel and move overall.

2. Adjust your media intake. Media is one of the biggest sources for weight loss and health advice, but these messages are typically generalized and based on observational research rather than proven methods and techniques.

This can become frustrating and leave a negative impact on your weight loss success.

Social media can also leave you feeling defeated. Take a break from the media and pay attention only to what truly inspires you to be your healthiest self.

3. Let your closet be a source of motivation. New clothes are exciting and you almost always want to wear them right away. But if you can’t, allow that

wardrobe to fuel the power of your weight loss goals.

Additionally, if you have favorite outfits that are a size or two bigger than they should be, consider donating them to nudge yourself in the right direction.

4. Pamper yourself.

Whether it’s a manicure or a massage, some type of weekly or monthly reward for your hard work is welldeserved and also recommended as part of a healthy lifestyle. Rather than treating yourself with food as a reward, pamper yourself in other ways and reflect on how far you’ve come.

5. Take it one hour at a time. When you’re starting out, losing weight can seem like an overwhelming aspiration.

Breaking it down into smaller increments can make it more manageable.

Start by having one “healthy hour.” Take the stairs, take a lap around the office at work, or ask

for a salad instead of fries with your meal at lunch.

As you spend more and more “healthy hours,” pretty soon your entire week will become healthier.

Focus on improving the present rather than the future.

6. Take pictures to document the process.

While it may seem daunting at first, documenting your visual transformation can be a great source of motivation in weight loss. Not only do pictures provide important feedback, but you’ll be able to showcase the fun you’re having while gaining strength and energy living the healthy way of life.

Your individual idiosyncrasies and characteristics make you unique, so not everyone’s weight loss strategy will be the same. Sometimes it’s the unexpected offbeat methods that are key to boosting your weight loss momentum.

HEALTH

HOW TO LIVE LONGER

By Dr. Leonard Pianko M.D.

Living a longer healthy life is a joint venture between you, your family and your doctor.

Prevention is the key. Regular checkups are critical. Lab studies and diagnostic tests reveal a lot, alerting the doctor to a developing problem that can be controlled at an early stage. When symptoms appear, the problem already has had an effect.

Medications play their role.

Although they are compounded with certain actions in mind, medications react differently with each patient. The doctor’s decision is based on symptoms, current medications being taken, other conditions, status of the heart and blood pressure, effects other systems, and general lifestyle of the patient. The doctor monitors them carefully and may try a different plan of treatment.

I am a cardiologist, and when I prescribe for my patient, it is a careful balance of medications that are suited to the heart problem in conjunction with

other medications that the patient is taking. For example, medications for high blood pressure are not all the same.

There are alpha blockers, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, diuretics, etc.

They all have a particular function in controlling the pressure it takes for blood to pump through the heart and then out to the body. Sometimes, we prescribe two or more at the same time.

They need to be taken as directed since their interaction has a direct effect on your heart.

Supplements. Even though they are over-the-counter, claim to be natural and require no prescription, does not mean that herbals, vitamins and minerals cannot effect your body or medications that you are already taking. As an example, Vitamins A, C and E have anticoagulant qualities. If you are taking Warfarin, and possibly baby aspirin, think about how you may be intensifying the anticoagulant effects in your blood, putting you at risk for additional bleeding. If an herbal sleep aid helps with

your insomnia, it is affecting a level of brain action, which is a chemical reaction. Advise your doctor of the supplements you are considering or already taking.

Diet and hydration. When advised to limit salt, sugar, white flour and fried foods, take that seriously. Taking medication to stabilize your blood sugar, blood pressure or cholesterol is a wakeup call, not a license to continue bad habits. A sufficient amount of fluids, particularly water, provides volume in the blood for proper distribution of oxygen through your red blood cells. It is necessary for digestion and elimination, and provides general hydration throughout your system. By the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrating.

Patient’s role. It is very important

for patients to take all medications as directed and for the entire time prescribed, many patients will stop taking their antibiotic when they feel better.

This is the worst thing to do, since your body is not entirely rid of the bacteria, and it can re-flourish and return with a vengeance, now resistant to that particular type of medication. Be sure to take medication with at least a half glass of water for quick delivery to the stomach, where it will begin to break up for proper digestion and absorption.

Family support is equally important. However, with their concern for you and best intentions, their guidance and advice should be checked out with the doctor, and that includes all the supplements that they are quick to suggest.

Remember. Good health and living a healthier, longer life is a team effort, and each player has his or her very important role to play. How is your team doing?

Floor your house guests with creative design twists (BPT) Hardwood flooring brings enduring beauty, charm and value to a home. Not content to keep a good thing underfoot, inspired homeowners are now finding new and creative locations to use it for a dramatic effect.

Using hardwood flooring on walls and ceilings is becoming an increasingly prominent trend. The rationale goes beyond aesthetic. While the wide variety of colors and finishes do provide myriad design options, hardwood flooring is also very durable and easy to

maintain.

Here are just a few of the many considerations for creatively using hardwood flooring: •Deck the walls. Just like floors, there are a multitude of colors, patterns and finishes that can be installed on walls.

After choosing the hardwood to match your decor, design a layout for how high you want it to go and how you want the planks positioned. Choose a horizontal layout for a traditional look, or go with

a vertical or diagonal layout for a more distinctive statement. It’s important to decide this in advance to avoid wasting materials.

• Ceilings to look up to.

If you want your ceiling to take center stage, it’s best to keep the floor neutral and muted. For cohesion, use the same tone on both the ceiling and floor. In an all-white room, try a wooden ceiling with a matte finish for a complementary look.

• Make more of less.

Hardwood flooring accents can help you make the most of a smaller

space. In the bedroom, place hardwood flooring around and above your bed to create a headboard.

This creates a familiar look and ties a room together without taking up extra space. Another idea is to use hardwood flooring to create an accent wall. This makes the room feel larger by focusing attention to one wall.

• Choose the right flooring. It is important to choose the right hardwood flooring for specific applications.

Lighterweight products - usually 5/16-inch to 1/2-inch thick - are easier to install

and keep in place over time. Flooring types and textures such as acacia or handscraped styles add a distinctive character to rooms. The Virginia Mill Works line from Lumber Liquidators features a variety of choices well suited for this.

Creative options still abound if you’re a homeowner who literally remains grounded with their flooring.

When deciding how to decorate an expansive room, for example, different colors or species of hardwood can be used to section off separate areas - especially in open spaces commonly found in loft style and other contemporary construction.

Imagination is ultimately the only limit for homeowners.

Remodeling a kitchen?

Draw inspiration from locations and cultures around the world (BPT) - Traditional, rustic, contemporary, modern - which style will you choose for your kitchen remodel? While each design style has its own appealing characteristics, what if you want a look that is worldly and inspired? You can add flare to any kitchen - and any kitchen design style - by incorporating cultural influences from around the world.

Here are some simple ways to draw inspiration from beautiful locations and cultures: • Create with color - Color transforms mood and can evoke specific world cultures, regions and locations. Manipulating color in your kitchen design can allow you to either create a complete ethnically inspired theme or simply hint at a regional influence. For example, walls in a soft, glowing orange paired with dark red accents (think cabinetry or window treatments) can build an Asian-influenced backdrop for a kitchen. Or, a tile backsplash with Aegean blue and pale sand hues can speak of a subtle Mediterranean influence. For a Tuscan effect, incorporate rustic, earthy hues like umbers, creams and forest green.

• Count on countertops - As one of the largest design elements in any kitchen, countertops can be a great way to underscore a

globally inspired design. Not sure what material, pattern or color might match your chosen theme? Wilsonart Quartz countertops offer creative guidance with a line of durable, beautiful countertops inspired by locations around the world. Underscore your Asian look with Niwa, a subtle marriage of white and gray that harkens to the sacred spaces in the Shinto religion that are often demarked by white and gray pebbles. For upscale European styling, Vittorio incorporates two tones of gray with brown and blue highlights in homage to the Galleria Vittorio, a high-fashion shopping mall in Milan. Wilsonart has made engineered decorative surfaces for more than 50 years. To learn more about Wilsonart Quartz natural stone countertops, visit www.wilsonart.com.

• A way with walls - Kitchens in different areas of the world have different signature design elements. For example, wood paneling on the walls is a hallmark of English country kitchens, while modern Japanese kitchens, which are often limited in space, are made to look larger with walls of floor-to-ceiling windows. Tile on walls can create a Spanish or Italian effect, while arches, sandy hues and bright tile accents speak of a Mexican influence.

• Open up with cabinetry - Just as countertops significantly impact a kitchen’s look,

cabinetry has a fashionable and functional effect. The material and color you choose for cabinets will play a defining role in the overall appearance of your kitchen. For example, flat white or frosted glass doors can impart a very modern Asian flare, while distressed woods in rustic hues create a Tuscan effect. White wooden cabinets paired with pops of blue in door knobs and accessories are reminiscent of kitchens in Greece.

• Flooring is a foundation - Certain materials establish a regional look because they are widely available in that region. In India, where quarries make natural stones easily affordable, kitchens commonly feature floors of glossy marble or other stone. Tile is also abundant and beautiful in Spain and Italy, and a wide variety of styles is available to create the underpinning for any regionally inspired kitchen design.

Finally, remember the power of accessories and wall art to bring a look together. A wallpaper mural of a Tuscan countryside can bring the charm of Italy into your kitchen, while window treatments and wall art with a cherry blossom theme serve to transport the imagination to Italy. Whatever your design tastes, you’ll create a kitchen that’s inspired, beautiful and practical when you draw together influences from around the world.

Why DIY? Projects can pay you back big time

“Your Home Town Realtor”

(BPT) - Hiring professionals to get jobs done around the house may be convenient, but it can set your budget back quite a bit. Instead, consider doing it yourself - not only to save big bucks but also to showcase your creativity. Do-it-yourself (DIY) home improvement is a major trend that will pay you back many times over.

Make money: As social media has surged in popularity over the last 10 years, so have independent businesses. Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook all provide a platform for self-promotion and many DIYers have used this to their advantage to display their projects for sale. In addition to selling via social media, many opt to sell on websites such as Etsy or Ebay. These websites provide a win-win situation for both the consumer and the DIYer, as the buyer can often request custom items for special occasions typically unavailable at retail stores. Plus, the seller is able to earn cash based solely on their crafting talents.

DIYers can also expand their business and increase profit by creating a blog with tutorials on how they completed certain projects. It takes a lot of passion and patience, but if the website garners a sizable audience, bloggers can make a living from advertising and sponsorships on their site. Bloggers may also have the opportunity to partner with a corporation to use their product in various posts in exchange for compensation.

There are infinite reasons to venture down the DIY path. In addition to cost savings and the rewarding satisfaction of creating pieces on your own, there’s always potential to turn your passion into profit. For more inspiration, visit frogtape.com.
