FLU VACCINE Get the Facts A simple vaccine is the best way to protect yourself from the flu. It may sound like a minor illness, but it can cause big problems and for some people, it can even be deadly.
Who Should Get It?
So here are some facts about the vaccine so you and your family can stay flu-free.
The CDC says the vaccine is especially important for people who are at high risk of serious complications if they get the flu, including: • Kids younger than age 5, but in particular those under age 2 • People 65 or older • Pregnant women • People who live in nursing homes or other kids of long-term care facilities • Adults and kids with diseases of the lungs (like asthma), heart, kidneys, liver, blood, or metabolism (like diabetes) • Anyone under age 19 who gets long-term aspirin therapy • American Indians and Alaskan natives
The Flu Vaccine: What Is It?
It’s a shot that protects you from the flu virus. You normally get it in your arm, but you can also get it as a nasal spray. It’s made from the three or four flu viruses that are most likely to make you sick during the upcoming year.
When Should I Get It?
Peak flu season can start as early as October and run through May. The best time to get a flu shot is as soon as it's available, usually in September or October. It takes about 2 weeks for the vaccine to take effect. You can still get a shot in December or later, but the earlier you get it, the higher your odds of staying well.
How Does It Work?
The shots prompt your body to get ready to fight an infection from the flu virus. It helps you create tools, called antibodies, to fight the virus when you're exposed to it. Doctors tweak the vaccine each season. They choose strains based on the ones they think are most likely to show up that year. The vaccine itself doesn't cause the flu. But it does take about 2 weeks to start working. Some people get it, then catch the virus before their body is ready to fight it. It's human nature to see a link between the two events, but the flu shot cannot cause the flu or make you more likely to get it. They don't work all the time. You can get sick even if you get one, but your illness will likely be milder than if you skip the vaccine.
The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older get immunized against the flu unless there's a medical reason not to.
Are There Side Effects?
Yes. You might have a mild fever and feel tired or achy after you get the shot. Some people also have soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site. These problems aren't serious and won't last long. Serious side effects are rare. If you do get them, it should be within a few minutes to a few hours after you get the shot. Call 911 and get emergency help right away if you have trouble breathing, hives, feel weak or dizzy, or have a fast heartbeat after you get it. Possible side effects in children: • Runny Nose • Headache • Vomiting • Muscle Aches • Fever
Possible side effects in adults: • Runny Nose • Headache • Sore Throat

Reduce your
Holiday Stress The holidays can be a joyful time, offering a chance to reconnect with friends and family. But they can also be stressful. You may feel pressure to buy and give gifts. Maybe you are worried about money. The holidays can also be hectic. There never seems to be enough time to get things done. Think about the kinds of events that trigger stress for you during the holidays. Then you can focus on one or two things you can do that will help the most to reduce stress.
Preparing for the Holidays
• Know your spending limit. Lack of money is one of the biggest causes of stress during the holiday season. This year, set a budget, and don't spend more than you've planned. It's okay to tell your child that a certain toy costs too much. Don't buy gifts that you'll spend the rest of the year trying to pay off. • Give something personal. You can show love and caring with any gift that is meaningful and personal. It doesn't have to cost a lot. Or use words instead of an expensive gift to let people know how important they are to you. Make a phone call or write a note and share your feelings. • Get organized. Make lists or use an appointment book to keep track of tasks to do and events to attend. • Share the tasks. You don't have to do everything yourself. Share your "to do" list with others. Spend time with friends and family while you share tasks like decorating, wrapping gifts, and preparing the holiday meal.
3
• Learn to say no. It's okay to say "no" to events that aren't important to you. This will give you more time to say "yes" to events that you do want to attend. • Be realistic. Try not to put pressure on yourself to create the perfect holiday for your family. Focus instead on the traditions that make holidays special for you. And remember that just because it's a holiday, family problems don't go away. If you have a hard time being around your relatives, it's okay to set limits on your time at events and visits.
During the Holidays
You may not be able to avoid stressful situations during the holidays, but you can plan to respond to them in a healthy way. • Take breaks from group activities. Pay attention to your own needs and feelings. Spend a little time by yourself if you can. Meditate, or do some relaxation breathing. Go for a short walk. • Keep a regular sleep, meal, and exercise schedule. Taking care of yourself will help you deal with stressful situations during the holidays. • Get support if you need it. Holidays can sometimes trigger depression. They can be especially hard if you are already dealing with the death of a loved one or the breakup of a relationship. You may feel embarrassed to ask for help, or you may think that you'll get over "the blues" on your own. But most people need treatment to get better. Talk with your doctor about counseling and medicine for depression.

RELIEVE ACHING
JOINTS EVEN IN WINTER
"Every mile is two in winter" said poet George Herbert. A big chunk of our Facebook fans couldn't agree more, particularly the ones who have arthritis or joint pain. We polled them to find out what triggers their hip and knee pain, and 42 percent blamed cold weather -- by far the leading cause. But can the elements really make your joints ache? The scientific evidence is conflicting. Some studies find a strong relationship between short, cold, damp days and arthritis flare-ups. Research from Tufts University suggests changes in barometric pressure worsen knee pain in people with arthritis, while colder temps can cause painful changes in joint fluid thickness. Other studies have found little or no link between weather and joint pain. Whether your aches are sparked by the weather or something else, these three steps can help you feel better.
Eat Healthy Load up on foods rich in: • Omega-3 fatty acids. Think salmon and nuts to curb inflammation. • Vitamin K. Make meals that feature greens, such as spinach, kale, and cabbage, for their pain-soothing properties. • Vitamin C. Add color to your diet with juicy oranges, sweet red peppers and tomatoes, and other C-rich foods to halt cartilage loss (and resulting pain) that comes with arthritis. • Avoid foods high in omega-6 fatty acids, such as corn oil, which may trigger painful inflammation. Also swap refined grains for whole grains. Early research suggests refined grains have an inflammatory effect, whereas high-fiber whole grains may help reduce inflammation.
Take Supplements Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin may help by nourishing cartilage and increasing lubrication in your joints. A large-scale study funded by the National Institutes of Health found that a daily combo of 1,500 milligrams of glucosamine and 1,200 milligrams of chondroitin might help ease symptoms in people with moderate-to-severe joint pain. Also make sure you're getting plenty of vitamin D to help keep your bones strong and prevent joint pain. Look for a supplement with 1,000 milligrams of D3 (the kind your body manufactures from sunlight), but check with your doctor first because some supplements can interact with prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
Keep Moving One reason cold weather is linked to joint pain is people are less likely to work out when it's chilly and damp. Being a couch potato is bad news for your joints because exercise helps lubricate them to prevent pain. Try these 6 safe, easy exercises for arthritic knees. Too cold out? Bring your workout indoors -- and don't overdo it! Choose low-impact aerobic moves that are easy on joints, such as walking, and yoga or tai chi, which enhance your range of motion. Lifting weights can also help because it builds joint-supporting muscles.

Safe Toy
Checklist
Too often, accidents involving children and toys occur and may result in eye injuries. Each year, thousands of children age 14 and younger suffered serious eye injuries, even blindness, from toys.
There are three important ways you can protect your child's eyes from injuries while playing with toys: 1. Only buy toys meant for their age. 2. Show them how to use their toys safely. 3. Keep an eye on them when they play.
Before you purchase a toy: • Read all warnings and instructions on the box. • Ask yourself if the toy is right for your child's ability and age. • Avoid purchasing toys with sharp or rigid points, spikes, rods, or dangerous edges. • Check the lenses and frames of children's sunglasses; many can break and cause injuries. • Buy toys that will withstand impact and not break into dangerous shards. • Look for the letters "ASTM." This designation means the product meets the national safety standards set by American Society for Testing and Materials International. • Avoid toys that shoot or include parts that fly off. Remember that BB guns are NOT toys.
5
Before letting children play with toys: • Inspect toys for safe, sturdy construction. • Explain how to use the toy. • Fix or throw away broken toys. Always: • Keep young children away from toys meant for older children. • Supervise your children while playing. • Store toys properly after play to avoid risks or falls. • Supervise children's craft projects (scissors and glue can be extremely dangerous to a child's eyesight). • Have children wear the right eye protection for sports (face shields, helmets, eyeguards).

TIPS TO PREVENT 10 THE COMMON COLD The common cold is arguably the most common illness in humans. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is also one of the most common causes of work and school absenteeism, with up to 22 million school days lost each year in the U.S. Colds are caused by viral infections. Over 200 different viruses can cause cold symptoms of varying severity.
Keep household surfaces clean.
Viruses that cause colds are spread from person to person through tiny droplets of mucus that enter the air from the nasal passages of infected persons and are inhaled by others. Colds can also be spread by touching surfaces that have been contaminated by contact with infected persons and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
In addition to cleaning household surfaces and commonly-used items.
While it is impossible to completely prevent the spread of colds, there are steps you can take to reduce your and your family's chances of becoming infected with a virus that causes colds:
Wash your hands often. This is probably the single best measure to prevent transmission of colds. Especially after shopping, going to the gym, or spending time in public places, hand washing is critical. Frequent hand washing can destroy viruses that you have acquired from touching surfaces used by other people. You can also carry a small tube of hand sanitizer or sanitizing hand wipes when visiting public places. Teach your children the importance of hand washing too.
Door knobs, drawer pulls, keyboards, light switches, telephones, remote controls, countertops, and sinks can all harbor viruses for hours after their use by an infected person. Wipe these surfaces frequently with soap and water or a disinfectant solution.
If your child has a cold, wash his or her toys.
Use paper towels for hand washing. Germs can live for several hours on cloth towels. Alternatively, have separate towels for each family member and provide a clean one for guests.
Throw tissues away after use. Used tissues are sources of virus that can contaminate any surface where they are left.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle. While there isn't direct evidence to show that eating well or exercising can prevent colds, maintenance of a healthy lifestyle, with adequate sleep, good nutrition and physical exercise can help ensure that your immune system is in good condition and ready to fight infection if it occurs.
Avoid touching your face.
Control stress.
Especially the nose, mouth, and eye areas, if you are around someone with a cold or have been touching surfaces in a public area.
Studies have shown that people experiencing emotional stress have weakened immune systems and are more likely to catch a cold than their calmer counterparts.
Don't smoke. Cigarette smoke can irritate the airways and increase susceptibility to colds and other infections. Even exposure to passive smoke can make you (or your children) more vulnerable to colds.
Use disposable items if someone in your family is infected. Disposable cups can be thrown away after each use and prevent accidental spread of the virus from sharing of cups or glasses. This is particularly important if you have young children who may try to drink from others' cups.

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.)
Clinic of Family Medicine
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 and how often. • A list of questions. Ask your doctor to explain any answers you don’t understand.
