Greetings!! Welcome to the spring edition of the Unity Newsletter. This month we start with a topic close to my heart, asthma triggers. Spring is a time for more people going outside and for lots of spring pollen in the air. We discuss some options for preventing your asthma triggers.
Hold Off Your Asthma Triggers
With spring, everyone wants to enjoy the weather and get out and exercise and try to lose weight from the winter months. We have some tips on how to accomplish this. Finally, we have some tips on proper sleep hygiene and keeping your feet healthy. As always, thanks for taking the time to read our monthlly newsletter and would appreciate your feedback!
Asthma triggers such as pollen or air pollution are going to try to slow down your spring. Find ways to enjoy the season by reducing your exposure in the following ways: • Try to exercise indoors, if possible, or do outdoor activities in the morning, when pollution levels tend to be lower.
Dr. Ketan Sheth, Medical Director

• Pay attention to pollen levels. These are often noted in your local weather report. Try to spend less time outdoors when levels are high. • Follow the air-quality index report for your area. • Do a spring cleaning of your home to minimize year-round triggers. Just be sure to wear a mask over your mouth and nose.
Weight Loss Tips for Adults • Eat breakfast every day. People who eat breakfast are less likely to overeat later in the day. • Choose whole grains more often. Try whole-wheat breads and pastas, oatmeal, or brown rice. • Select a mix of colorful vegetables each day. Vegetables of different colors provide different nutrients. Try collards, kale, spinach, squash, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes. • Have low-fat, low-sugar snacks on hand at home, at work, or on the go to combat hunger and prevent overeating. • At restaurants, eat only half your meal and take the rest home. • Visit museums, the zoo, or an aquarium. You and your family can walk for hours and not realize it. • Take a walk after dinner instead of watching TV.
• Stay in close contact with your doctor if you have a flare-up. He or she may want to step up your treatment. And make sure you have an asthma plan prepared. For more information, please call: Allergy & Asthma Lafayettte Allergy and Asthma Clinic - 765.446.5040 Ketan Sheth, M.D. www.unityhc.com

Every Day Activities Count! Spring cleaning is a great way to exercise. Physical activity is not limited to an aerobics class or running. Physical activity is any form of exercise or movement. It may be a scheduled activity such as walking, jogging, aerobics, or tennis, or it may be daily activities such as housework, yard work, or gardening. Source: Healtharticlesnow.com

The Benefits of Slumber Why You Need a Good Night’s Sleep
W
e have so many demands on our time—jobs, family, errands—not to mention finding some time to relax. To fit everything in, we often sacrifice sleep. But sleep affects both mental and physical health. It’s vital to your well-being. Of course, sleep helps you feel rested each day. But while you’re sleeping, your brain and body don’t just shut down. Internal organs and processes are hard at work throughout the night. Sleep services all aspects of our body in one way or another: molecular, energy balance, as well as intellectual function, alertness and mood. When you’re tired, you can’t function at your best. Sleep helps you think more clearly, have quicker reflexes and focus better. The fact is, well-rested people are operating at a different level than people trying to get by on 1 or 2 hours less nightly sleep. Loss of sleep impairs your higher levels of reasoning, problem-solving and attention to detail. Tired people tend to be less productive at work. They’re at a much higher risk for traffic accidents. Lack of sleep also influences your mood, which can affect how you interact with others. A sleep deficit over time can even put you at greater risk for developing depression. But sleep isn’t just essential for the brain. Sleep affects almost every tissue in our bodies. It affects growth and stress hormones, our immune system, appetite, breathing, blood pressure and cardiovascular health. Research shows that lack of sleep increases the risk for obesity, heart disease and infections. Throughout the night, your heart rate, breathing rate and blood pressure rise and fall, a process that may be important for cardiovascular health. Your body releases hormones during sleep that help repair cells and control the body’s use of energy. These hormone changes can affect your body weight.

Ongoing research shows a lack of sleep can produce diabetic-like conditions in otherwise healthy people. Recent studies also reveal that sleep can affect the efficiency of vaccinations. A good night’s sleep consists of 4 to 5 sleep cycles. Each cycle includes periods of deep sleep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, when we dream. As the night goes on, the portion of that cycle that is in REM sleep increases. Although personal needs vary, on average, adults need 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night. Babies typically sleep about 16 hours a day. Young children need at least 10 hours of sleep, while teenagers need at least 9 hours. To attain the maximum restorative benefits of sleep, getting a full night of quality sleep is important.
“getting a full night of quality sleep is important.”
Sleep can be disrupted by many things. Stimulants such as caffeine or certain medications can keep you up. Distractions such as electronics—especially the light from TVs, cell phones, tablets and e-readers—can prevent you from falling asleep. As people get older, they may not get enough sleep because of illness, medications or sleep disorders. By some estimates, about 70 million Americans of all ages suffer from chronic sleep problems. The 2 most common sleep disorders are insomnia and sleep apnea. People with insomnia have trouble falling or staying asleep. Anxiety about falling asleep often makes the condition worse. Most of us have occasional insomnia. But chronic insomnia—lasting at least 3 nights per week for more than a month—can trigger serious daytime problems such as exhaustion, irritability and difficulty concentrating.
Could it be
IBS? Common therapies include relaxation and deep-breathing techniques. Sometimes medicine is prescribed. But consult a doctor before trying even over-the-counter sleep pills, as they may leave you feeling unrefreshed in the morning. People with sleep apnea have a loud, uneven snore (although not everyone who snores has apnea). Breathing repeatedly stops or becomes shallow. If you have apnea, you’re not getting enough oxygen, and your brain disturbs your sleep to open your windpipe. Apnea is dangerous. There’s little air exchange for 10 seconds or more at a time. The oxygen goes down and the body’s fight or flight response is activated. Blood pressure spikes, your heart rate fluctuates and the brain wakes you up partially to start your breathing again. This creates stress. Apnea can leave you feeling tired and moody. You may have trouble thinking clearly. Also, apnea affects the vessels that lead to the brain so there is a higher risk of stroke associated with it. If you have mild sleep apnea, you might try sleeping on your side, exercising or losing weight to reduce symptoms. A CPAP machine, which pumps air into your throat to keep your airway open, can also help. Another treatment is a bite plate that moves the lower jaw forward. In some cases, however, people with sleep apnea need surgery. If you snore chronically and wake up choking or gasping for air, and feel that you’re sleepy during the day, tell your doctor and get evaluated. Good sleep is critical to your health. To make each day a safe, productive one, take steps to make sure you regularly get a good night’s sleep.

About 58 million Americans have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a condition that keeps the bowel from working properly. IBS mostly affects women, who account for about 80 percent of all cases. It can strike daily or only occasionally and can come and go at any time. The symptoms of IBS can range from mild to severe and include: ■ Cramps or pain in the stomach area ■ Diarrhea or constipation, which can alternate in the same person from time to time ■ Gas ■ Bloated stomach area There is no cure for IBS, but you can take steps to relieve symptoms. Talk with your doctor about treatments. He or she may recommend that you change your diet to include high-fiber foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain breads, or that you begin using a fiber supplement. It may also help to drink plenty of water and eat several small meals a day.

When most people think about nutrition and their health, they have no trouble associating the foods they eat with weight loss or heart health. However, your diet affects many other parts of your body, including your feet. When explained to people that your feet are connected to the rest of your body, and what you put into your body is what makes up your body, they’re typically like, ‘Wow!’ That’s typically when they change their diet and feel better about it. Feet and Nutrition: Fighting Off Inflammation and Pain One problem linked to nutrition that can affect your feet is inflammation. Certain foods can increase chemicals in your body that cause tissue inflammation. This inflammation could appear in your foot as plantar fasciitis, which causes pain in the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot, in your heel, or elsewhere in your foot.
5
Many common foods in the American diet encourage inflammation, such as the refined grains, sugar, and trans fats in many baked goods and junk foods; the saturated fat in red meat; and the omega-6 fats found in many commonly used vegetable oils, such as corn, soybean, and sunflower oils. In addition, some people may have increased levels of inflammation in their bodies due to chronic allergies to common foods such as wheat. Another factor that can contribute to inflammation is eating too many foods that cause your blood sugar to rise quickly, such as sweets, white flour, and pasta.
As a result, the nutritional approaches Greene discusses with patients to reduce inflammation include: Eating more omega-3 fats. Fatty fish such as salmon, as well as fish oil supplements, are good sources of omega-3s. Omega-3s help reduce inflammation, and nutrition studies suggest they should be properly balanced in the diet with omega-6s. Most people’s diets provide far more omega-6s than omega-3s, and a fish-rich diet can address this imbalance. Doing a general diet makeover. Following an overall healthier diet can provide anti-inflammatory benefits to your feet and your total health. This includes eating more green vegetables and other fresh plant foods, and cutting out refined grain foods and sugary treats. Feet and Nutrition: Other Health Connections Two common conditions that affect millions of Americans’ feet are peripheral artery disease and diabetes. Each of these conditions can harm your feet by damaging arteries that bring blood to your lower extremities. Good nutrition can also help protect your feet from these conditions. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a diet low in saturated fat, trans fat, and sodium and rich in fruits and vegetables can help reduce your risk of peripheral artery disease. A 2008 study in the Journal of Vascular Surgery specifically found that omega-3s were associated with a lower risk of peripheral artery disease. If you have diabetes, a healthy diet can help protect your feet from complications of that condition, too. In general, the NIH
recommends a diet rich in whole grains, beans, vegetables and fruits, lean meats, and a limited amount of fats and sweets for people with diabetes. Whether you eat more healthfully to counteract a medical condition or to avoid one, following the NIH’s recommendations will help ensure that your feet, along with the rest of your body, continue to serve you well.
Dr. Nick Costidakis, physician at Family Foot Clinic, said, “ Calcium and Vitamin D are important to your bones especially in your feet. No matter how old or your health status you need calcium and vitamin D to keep bones strong and prevent fractures in the feet.

The National Academy of Sciences makes the following recommendations for Calcium: Males and Females 9 to 18 Years: 1300 mg per day Women and Men 19 to 50 Years: 1000 mg per day Women and Men Over 50 Years: 1200 mg per day Vitamin D helps the absorption of calcium in our bodies. The recommendation for Vitamin D is 400 IU to 10000 IU daily. But remember, too much Vitamin D can be toxic to your system, so always consult your primary care physician. Taking these steps can decrease your risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures.”

Preventative Health Focus Your Annual Exam on Prevention You may not have any symptoms. In fact, you may be feeling great. But medical appointments with the sole purpose of preventing and screening for diseases play a key role in a healthy lifestyle. During your annual exam, your doctor will discuss your health history, the screening tests you need, and why they’re necessary. There are also several ways you can play an active role in your preventative exam: 1. Personal History - Write down your medical history, including any illnesses or treatments that required hospitalization, surgery, or emergency care. List each condition and treatment. 2. Family History - Gather information on any diseases that appear to run in your family, such as cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes. 3. Medications and Allergies - Write down the name and dose of any medications, vitamins, or supplements that you take on a regular basis. Also include information on reactions or allergies to medications. 4. Immunizations - Provide a record of your immunizations. Note the year you were last vaccinated against tetanus, diphtheria, measles, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, pneumonia, and influenza. 5. Questions - Jot down all of your questions and concerns, and prioritize that list. Making a list helps you remember details and provides focus so that you’re more likely to cover your main concerns.

Choosing A Primary Care Physician - The Smart Way Choosing a new physician can be a difficult task. Asking for recommendations is a good way to start, but ultimately you will have to decide which physician is best suited to your individual needs and situation. It is important to establish a relationship with a primary care physician (PCP), especially before you ever get sick. Primary care doctors should be the first line of defense in protecting your health, but millions of Americans don’t have a PCP. Even patients who regularly visit specialists don’t always have a PCP, leaving them unprepared when the flu or an infection strikes. Everyone gets sick at some point, so selecting a PCP ahead of time means you don’t have to scramble around when you need medical care. Here are some questions and answers that can help you select a PCP who understands your particular needs. What information should I find out about the doctor? It may help to ask the doctor’s office these questions: • At which hospitals does the doctor have privileges? • How long does it take to get in to see the doctor for a routine visit and for urgently needed care? • Who covers for the doctor when the need arises? • Is the doctor board certified? (This means he or she has had training after medical school and has passed an exam to be certified as a specialist in a certain field.) What personal qualities should I look for in a doctor? Find a doctor who listens carefully, explains things clearly, anticipates your health problems and allows you to ask questions. What information should I bring to my appointment? It is important to provide your doctor with the following: • Your health history. • A list of medications you’re taking. • Any vitamins or supplements you take. • A description of any current health problems you’re having. If you have symptoms, the doctor will want to know when they first appeared, how often. • A list of questions. Ask your doctor to explain any answers you don’t understand.
