5 lessons kids can learn thru running Children are born with a sense of curiosity. Their eyes are filled with wonder with things that the rest of us overlook. Parents let their kid’s imaginations grow but intervene when a teachable moment presents itself. Mastering this concept allows you to create your child’s core values. This is how we enable kids to become good citizens. There are plenty of sports with teams for children. However, the parent is on the sideline and that is where they will be until the end of the Dance class, softball game, or soccer game. While you can point out and teach the child after the fact, but it does not have the same impact as being on the spot. Running is a sport that entire families are able to do together. Of course, each family member will have their space, but you are out there with them. When a teachable moment pops up, you can help them address it well before the moment has passed. Running is a healthy sport for people of all ages. It doesn’t cost a lot to get started. Check out dancewear sites for clothes and shoes that support the body
and protects the feet. Just For Kix is a good place to find a wide selection and at a good price. Below, we will give you five life lessons that your child will learn while running. There are many more life lessons that will pop up while you are on your family journey. Choose your battles. If it has been a long day, and you want to cut the lesson short. That is fine. You are the parent and you are in control. Remember, your child will have to learn, practice, and grow a bit before they will graduate to a seasoned runner. It is you who will make the effort and include you into their group. You may choose to coach the kids.
You only get back as much as you give — patience. Children often focus on the end of the game. They want the trophy, the ribbon, and the status of completing the run. But, they are kids. When they have to push a little, they quickly become disillusioned. Teach them patience as you practice waiting and working. This part of their training is often the first hurdle you must jump. The younger the child, the harder it is explaining what it means to take their body to a new level of health. They should be encouraged and praised for pushing on after they want to quit.
This is a teachable moment. This is where you teach them to challenge themselves. You may want to teach them to pace themselves. They cannot mature their game like an experienced adult. It is okay to mess up. Nobody is perfect. Children are little humans, separated only by age and knowledge. Making a mistake just means you are trying. Teach your child to shake it off. Teach them how to let it go. If you do not address this, your child will internalize their mistakes, which can damage their self-esteem. This is a very important part of their training. Teach them to look at the mistake and learn from it. Then let it go. Learning how to forgive themselves will benefit them for their entire life. Learn to control your emotions Learning to control your emotions is a skill many adults never learn. Make your child the exception. It is normal to get angry, sad, and frustrated. But, we do not have to act on those feelings. You will teach them how to express their feelings in a healthy way.

How to win or lose with class Everyone wants to be a winner. But, if a child is not taught the proper way of winning, few people will be there to pat them on the back. Your child should learn to let others brag on them. If your child throws a tantrum because they did not win, it is up to you to correct their behavior. After everything is calm, address the problem and teach them not to be a sore loser. Things will always get better Children sometimes take a small issue and turn it into a major problem. This is when you can teach them to just watch for it because it will get better. It will not rain forever and the sun won’t always be so bright. As you and your child progress, you can teach them how different foods affect them. Help them to experiment with foods and chart how good they make them feel. They will learn how sugary snacks can fail them. This is all part of helping your child be the best they can be. Running is the perfect activity for your entire family. Practice watching for those teachable moments, and watch your child grow in every way.

NOBODY WANTS TO LOSE TEETH Nevertheless, it can happen to anyone! Thanks to Dental Implants, you can avoid further damage that would otherwise add insult to injury, like the inevitable shifting and tilting of surrounding teeth and the loss of supporting bone. Both create a premature aged appearance. Whether you have lost teeth due to decay or as the result of an accident, Dental Implants are a wonderful innovation that can help you secure your smile into the future. Dental Implants are also used to permanently remedy the inconveniences associated with dentures. What are Dental Implants: Dental Implants are the next best thing to your healthy, natural teeth! Strong, safe and stable; a Dental Implant restores a lost tooth so that it looks, feels, fits and functions like a natural tooth. Three parts of a Dental Implant: • Implant – A “biocompatible

screw” is placed into the jawbone and fuses permanently over time, serving as a root for the new teeth • Abutment - Connector above the implant that supports the tooth • Crown – The actual tooth that is visible in your mouth Different types of Dental Implants: • Single Tooth Implants - A single tooth replacement • Multiple Implants – More than one tooth needs to be replaced with other natural teeth left intact • Complete Implant Set - When a complete set of upper and/or lower teeth (arch) need replacement. Four or more implants are placed in a total arch Dental Implants improve your ability to confidently eat, smile, laugh, play, and enjoy all regular activities of everyday life! They are sturdier and more secure than
removable partials or dentures. For those with implant-supported dentures, Dental Implants eliminate the fear of slippage and the discomfort from food particles becoming trapped under the denture. With Dental Implants, most patients report a freedom previously not thought possible as they can essentially eat anything they want. Care for the implants is the same as with natural teeth and includes regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. To ensure the Dental Implant procedure is successful, we require patients to present with the following characteristics: • Healthy gum tissue • Adequate bone density in the jaw • Good jaw structure • No medical condition that can complicate the surgery or healing.
Schedule a COMPLIMENTARY Implant Consultation and Smile Evaluation During the consultation process, we will evaluate whether you are a good candidate for Dental Implants. Our doctors can discuss alternative solutions and make recommendations to help you achieve your individual goals. Additionally, our team at Port Washington Dental is happy to discuss other exciting Cosmetic Dental procedures that often compliment Dental Implants; including Teeth Whitening, Laser Gum Therapy, Porcelain Veneers, and Invisalign®. Whether you are looking to replace a single missing tooth, or want to discuss the steps of a Complete Smile Makeover, we can help you achieve the smile you have always wanted.
Dr. Sultan Salem is an accredited member of the AAID (American Academy of Implant Dentistry), a Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and is Port Washington Dental’s Implant Expert! He is passionately devoted to improving patient lifestyles by replacing missing teeth. Dr Salem provides our patients with a seamless experience by easily delivering both the surgical and restorative phases of implant treatment.

Assistive devices help people remain mobile Canes: Canes are handheld devices that provide a little extra stability or support to weakened limbs. Canes are easily transported and can assist those who need only a little help. Standard walkers: Also known as medical walkers, standard walkers offer substantial support and must be lifted to move. That requires upper body strength, which can be difficult for some to maintain on long trips.
D
isabilities affect people from all walks of life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that around 55 million Americans have a disability of some kind. Of these people, 33 million have a disability that makes it difficult for them to carry out some daily activities. Statistics Canada states that, as of 2012, 13.7 percent of the population age 15 years or older reported having a disability that could impact daily life. People with disabilities may need assistive devices to reclaim some measure of their independence. For example, millions of people rely on wheelchairs or walking
aids to get around. These are called assistive technology and rehabilitative devices, which include tools, equipment or products that can help people with disabilities get around more easily. These devices may be as small as magnifying glasses for reading to as large as wheelchairs. The National Institutes of Health state that 2.2 million people in the U.S depend on wheelchairs for day-to-day tasks and mobility. More than six million use canes, walkers or crutches to assist with mobility. The following are some of the common types of mobility devices available for purchase.
Rolling walkers: Rolling walkers are similar to standard walkers. But rolling walkers have wheels, either on the front only or on both sets of legs. They are somewhat less stable than standard walkers. Rolling walkers with wheel-locking devices may offer stability when needed. Some rolling walkers are called “rollators.� Wheelchairs: Standard wheelchairs must be powered by the person in the chair or by someone pushing it from behind. This can be difficult for people with minimal upper body strength. Mechanical wheelchairs are powered with a lever or button. Some people may opt for motorized scooters over bulkier wheelchairs when
possible. Assistive devices can be highly effective, but only when they are used properly and safely. Assistive devices should be measured for each user. Many walkers are height-adjustable. The width of a device also is important. A walker or another device that is too wide can affect mobility or require modifications to be made around the home. Weight is another consideration. The device should be lightweight so it can be maneuvered, but also weigh enough to provide enough stability to keep users upright. Users should proceed slowly and favor their stronger sides when relying on canes or walkers. Devices should not be used to climb atop other items like step stools. Children should not be allowed to play with or ride on assistive devices. If there are safety belts or locks on any assistive technology, they should be put in place before use to prevent further injury.

Did you know?
Dr. Mary Carlson, DPM. We recognize and appreciate all your hard work.
Carbohydrates are seen as the enemy by many people looking to lose weight, but that reputation is ill-deserved for certain types of carbs. Carbohydrates referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;smart carbsâ&#x20AC;? can boost energy and mood and help people, even dieters, maintain healthy weights. Smart carbs, which can be found in fruits, vegetables, minimally processed whole grain products such as brown rice and quinoa, and whole wheat bread among other foods, contain vital nutrients and fiber. The body takes longer to absorb whole grains than it does processed carbohydrates, stabilizing blood sugar and energy levels as a result. Because the body takes longer to absorb whole grains, feelings of satiety and fullness are extended. That reduces the likelihood of being hungry again shortly after eating, thereby helping people maintain healthy weights. Those who want to avoid carbohydrates should avoid products made with white flour, such as white bread, non-whole grain pastas, potato chips, and breakfast cereals with high amounts of sugar.

The hidden benefits of water D
ehydration is a dangerous condition that can cause a host of complications and even prove fatal in severe cases. But as dangerous as dehydration can be, many cases are entirely preventable. The best way to prevent dehydration is to drink enough water. When the body does not take in as much water as it puts out, it can become dehydrated. People who live in warm climates or in elevated altitudes may lose more water than those who do not. In addition, water loss is accelerated during strenuous exercise, highlighting the emphasis men and women must place on drinking enough water during their workouts. But water does more for the body than prevent dehydration. The following are a handful of lesser known ways that water benefits the body. Water can help people maintain healthy weights. Dieting fads come and go, but water is a mainstay for people who want to control their caloric intake in an effort to maintain healthy weights. Water has zero calories, so reaching for a bottle or glass of water instead of a soda, lemon-

ade or another caloric beverage can help people keep the pounds off. A study from researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center found that even diet soda enhances weight gain by as much as 41 percent. In addition, soda has been linked to conditions such as obesity, diabetes and tooth decay. No such association exists with water. Water helps to fight fatigue. The fatigue-fighting properties of water are another of its lesser known benefits. When the body is not adequately hydrated, it can experience muscle soreness. And fitness enthusiasts who do not drink enough water may notice their bodies require extensive recovery time after working out. Each of those consequences can be prevented by drinking enough water, and doing so can even improve performance, as studies have shown that just a 3 percent loss of body weight due to dehydration can cause as much as a 10 percent drop in performance level. Water can improve the appearance of the skin. Skin that does not get enough water can turn dry and flaky and feel tight. In addition, dry skin is more likely to
wrinkle than adequately hydrated skin. Getting water to the skin can be tricky, as the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health notes that water will reach all the other organs of the body before it reaches the skin. But the school recommends applying a hydrating moisturizer within two minutes of leaving the bath or shower and drinking at least eight glasses of water a day to ensure the skin is getting enough water. Water helps the gastrointestinal tract. Water can help maintain normal bowel function. When the body lacks sufficient fluid, the colon will pull water from stools in an effort to stay hydrated. That can lead to constipation, a condition in which people experience difficulty emptying their bowels. By drinking enough water, people can ensure their colon will not have to pull water from stools to stay hydrated, thereby helping them stay regular. Water helps the body in myriad ways, many of which might surprise people unaware of just how valuable water can be to the body.

4 foods that can boost energy levels
2. Skinless chicken: A study from researcher Judith Wurtman of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Clinical Research Center found that alertness tends to increase when the brain produces the neurotransmitter dopamine and the hormone norepinephrine. Skinless chicken contains an amino acid known as tyrosine that helps in the production of both dopamine and norepinephrine. If skinless chicken is not available, other foods that may provide this same effect include fish, lean beef and eggs. In addition, lean meats like skinless chicken contain enough vitamin B to help ease insomnia.
1. Cashews: Cashews, which are high in magnesium, help to convert sugar into energy. Magnesium deficiency can lead to low energy levels, so nuts that are high in magnesium, including cashews, can provide that midafternoon jolt that some people are seeking. Cashews are high in calories, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for those looking to lose weight or maintain healthy weights to adhere to serving suggestion guidelines.
3. Salmon:
4. Beans:
Omega-3 fatty acids can help the body fight inflammation, which has been linked to a host of ailments, including chronic fatigue. Salmon is also high in protein, which can eliminate the mid- to late-afternoon hunger pangs that can derail healthy diets and contribute to weight gain.
Beans are loaded with fiber, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing for energy levels. Like magnesium, which can also be found in beans, fiber takes awhile to digest, extending the energy-boosting properties of foods loaded with fiber. In spite of the growing movement to eat and live healthier, many adults still do not include enough fiber in their diets. Men and women can consult with their physicians to determine how to make that happen, but eating more beans is a good start.

How to improve alertness during the workday A long workday can be both mentally and physically draining. As a result, office workers and professionals whose jobs are more physically demanding than office work may find themselves less alert at the end of the workday than at the beginning. A loss of alertness as the workday draws to a close might be unavoidable. But professionals whose sense of alertness begins to dwindle in the thick of the workday might need to take steps to improve their alertness to protect themselves from injury and to ensure the quality of their work does not suffer.
eat high-fat foods for lunch won’t get the afternoon energy boost that low-fat, healthy lunches will provide.
Avoid caffeine in the late afternoon. Some professionals rely on caffeinated beverages such as coffee or energy drinks to combat afternoon drowsiness. While that afternoon caffeine fix might provide an immediate, if temporary, jolt of energy, it might also affect a person’s energy levels the following day. A 2013 study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that caffeine consumed as early as six hours before bedtime can significantly disrupt sleep. Professionals who reach for a cup of coffee in the late afternoon might get a sudden boost of energy, but their energy levels the following day might be lower due to a poor night’s sleep.
Change your workout schedule. Regular exercise improves short- and long-term health while also increasing daily energy levels. Professionals who include exercise in their daily routines yet still suffer from a lack of alertness in the afternoon may need to alter their workout schedules. A 2011 study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine found that participants who were assigned afternoon exercise programs during work hours reported increased productivity versus those who were not assigned afternoon workouts. If working out in the afternoon is not feasible, avoid working out too late at night, as the National Institutes of Health note that exercising within two to three hours of bedtime can disrupt sleep, ultimately having a negative impact on energy levels the following day. Professionals who find their alertness levels waning in the afternoons can combat such drowsiness in various ways.
Avoid high-fat foods at lunchtime. Foods that are high in fat should always be avoided thanks to their connection to a host of health problems. Such foods also negatively affect energy levels when consumed in the middle of the day. The University of Rochester Medical Center notes that the body digests and absorbs high-fat foods very slowly. That means workers who
Snack healthy. Professionals who find themselves needing a snack in the midto late-afternoon can sate their hunger and give themselves an energy boost by snacking healthy. Avoid snacks like potato chips that tend to be high in fat and low in nutrition. Foods that are high in fiber and/or protein can provide a longer energy boost and quell the afternoon hunger pangs at the same time. Fresh fruit and Greek yogurt fit the bill.
