Health Awareness Month
On Family Vacations
Greetings!! Welcome to the February edition of the Unity Newsletter. February is National Heart Health Awareness Month. This is a good opportunity for everyone to make sure they are doing all they can to maximize heart health. This includes talking with your health care provider about diets, exercise and medication that you could or should be using to make yourself heart healthy and time to re-emphasize your New Year’s resolutions. Winter is a time for colds, cold dry air and ear infections. We have some tips from our primary care practices and our Ear, Nose and Throat department to help. We also have some advice from our Eye Physicians to help you reduce eye strain, especially since the cold and snow has kept us inside on our computers or iPads. Finally, it is not to early to think about spring and summer vacations. Our pediatricians offer some help with first aid kits for family vacations.

Reduce Eye Strain Your eyes need rest. If you spend a lot of time at the computer or focusing on any one thing, you sometimes forget to blink and your eyes can get fatigued. Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away about 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds. This can help reduce eye strain.
Single-Load Liquid Laundry and Dishwasher Packets: Harmful to Children Liquid laundry and dishwasher packets are attractive to children as play items because they are soft and colorful, and they resemble familiar items like candy, toys, and teething products. In 2012 alone, there were about 500 incidents involving children and adults who were injured by the product. Children have required hospitalization from ingesting the product due to loss of consciousness, excessive vomiting, drowsiness, throat swelling, and difficulty breathing (requiring intubation). Eye contact with detergent from ruptured packets has also resulted in medical treatment for severe irritation and temporary vision loss due to ocular burns. These packets dissolve quickly and release highly concentrated toxic chemicals when contacted with water, wet hands, or saliva. Follow these safety steps to prevent unintentional poisonings and eye injuries related to single-load detergent packets: 1. Do NOT let children handle detergent packets. 2. Keep the liquid detergent packets sealed in their original packaging, and make sure they are locked up and out of a child’s sight and reach. 3. Always handle detergent packets carefully and with dry hands. 4. If swallowed or exposed to the eye, immediately call Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222.

February is
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, but heart disease is preventable and controllable. Every journey begins with one step, whether it’s climbing a mountain or preventing heart disease. This American Heart Month, CDC is offering weekly tips for better heart health. Take your first step on the road to a healthy heart with us. Heart disease is a major problem. Every year, about 715,000 Americans have a heart attack. About 600,000 people die from heart disease in the United States each year—that’s 1 out of every 4 deaths. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women.
Heart attack symptoms
The five major symptoms of a heart attack are • Pain or discomfort in the jaw, neck, or back. • Feeling weak, light-headed, or faint. • Chest pain or discomfort. • Pain or discomfort in arms or shoulder. • Shortness of breath. • If you think that you or someone you know is having a heart attack, call 9–1–1 immediately.
The situation is alarming, but there is good news—heart disease is preventable and controllable. We can start by taking small steps every day to bring our loved ones and ourselves closer to heart health.
One Step at a Time
As you begin your journey to better heart health, keep these things in mind: • Don’t become overwhelmed. Every step brings you closer to a healthier heart. • Don’t go it alone. The journey is more fun when you have company. Ask friends and family to join you. • Don’t get discouraged. You may not be able to take all of the steps at one time. Get a good night’s sleep and do what you can tomorrow. • Reward yourself. Find fun things to do to decrease your stress. Round up some colleagues for a lunchtime walk, join a singing group, or have a healthy dinner with your family or friends.
Plan for Prevention
Some health conditions and lifestyle factors can put people at a higher risk for developing heart disease. You can help prevent heart disease by making healthy choices and managing any medical conditions you may have.
The term “heart disease” refers to several types of heart conditions. The most common type in the United States is coronary heart disease (also called coronary artery disease), which occurs when a substance called plaque builds up in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Coronary heart disease can cause heart attack, angina, heart failure, and arrhythmias.
• Eat a healthy diet. Choosing healthful meal and snack options can help you avoid heart disease and its complications. Be sure to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables—adults should have at least 5 servings each day. Eating foods low in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol and high in fiber can help prevent high cholesterol. Limiting salt or sodium in your diet also can lower your blood pressure.
Cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke, costs the United States $312.6 billion each year. This total includes the cost of health care services, medications, and lost productivity. These conditions also are leading causes of disability, preventing Americans from working and enjoying family activities.
• Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese can increase your risk for heart disease. To determine whether your weight is in a healthy range, doctors often calculate a number called the body mass index (BMI). Doctors sometimes also use waist and hip measurements to measure a person’s body fat.

Can Ear Infections Be Prevented? • Exercise regularly. Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight and lower cholesterol and blood pressure. The Surgeon General recommends that adults should engage in moderate-intensity exercise for at least 30 minutes on most days of the week. • Monitor your blood pressure. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, so be sure to have it checked on a regular basis. You can check your blood pressure at home, at a pharmacy, or at a doctor’s office. • Don’t smoke. Cigarette smoking greatly increases your risk for heart disease. If you don’t smoke, don’t start. If you do smoke, quit as soon as possible. Your doctor can suggest ways to help you quit. • Limit alcohol use. Avoid drinking too much alcohol, which can increase your blood pressure. Men should stick to no more than two drinks per day, and women to no more than one. • Have your cholesterol checked. Your health care provider should test your cholesterol levels at least once every 5 years. Talk with your doctor about this simple blood test. • Manage your diabetes. If you have diabetes, monitor your blood sugar levels closely, and talk with your doctor about treatment options. • Take your medicine. If you’re taking medication to treat high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes, follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Always ask questions if you don’t understand something.

Three out of four children will have at least one ear infection by their third birthday. In fact, ear infections are the most common reason parents bring their child to a doctor. Fortunately, there are things you can do to lower your child’s risk for ear infections. Things You Can Do: • Vaccinate your child against the flu. Make sure your child gets the flu vaccine every year. • It is recommended that you vaccinate your child with the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). The PCV13 protects against more types of infection-causing bacteria than the previous vaccine, the PCV7. If your child already has begun PCV7 vaccination, consult your physician about how to transition to PCV13. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that children under age 2 be vaccinated, starting at 2 months of age. Studies have shown that vaccinated children get far fewer ear infections than children who aren’t vaccinated. The vaccine is strongly recommended for children in daycare. • Wash hands frequently. Washing hands prevents the spread of germs and can help keep your child from catching a cold or the flu. • Avoid exposing your baby to cigarette smoke. Studies have shown that babies who are around smokers have more ear infections. • Never put your baby down for a nap, or for the night, with a bottle. • Don’t allow sick children to spend time together. As much as possible, limit your child’s exposure to other children when your child or your child’s playmates are sick.

Don’t Dry Out You may wonder if you’ve been drinking enough water, especially when it’s hot out. There’s a lot of confusing advice out there about how much you really need. The truth is that most healthy bodies are very good at regulating water. Elderly people, young children and some special cases—like people taking certain medications—need to be a little more careful. Here’s what you need to know. Water is involved in all body processes. You need the proper amount for all those processes to work correctly. The body regulates how much water it keeps so it can maintain levels of the various minerals it needs to work properly. But every time you breathe out, sweat, urinate or have a bowel movement, you lose some fluid. When you lose fluid, your blood can become more concentrated. Healthy people compensate by releasing stores of water, mostly from muscles. And, of course, you get thirsty. That’s your body’s way of telling you it needs more water. At a certain point, however, if you lose enough water, your body can’t compensate. Eventually, you can become dehydrated, meaning that your body doesn’t have enough fluid to work properly. Any healthy person can become dehydrated on hot days, when you’ve been exercising hard or when you have a disease or condition like diarrhea, in which you can lose a lot of fluid

very quickly. But dehydration is generally more of a problem in the elderly, who can have a decreased sensitivity to thirst, and very young children who can’t yet tell their parents when they’re thirsty. How much water does your body need? An average person on an average day needs about 3 quarts of water a day. But if you’re out in the hot sun, you’ll need a lot more than that. Signs of dehydration in adults are being thirsty, urinating less often than usual, having darkcolored urine, having dry skin, feeling tired or dizziness and fainting. Signs of dehydration in babies and young children include a dry mouth and tongue, crying without tears, no wet diapers for 3 hours or more, a high fever and being unusually sleepy or drowsy. If you suspect dehydration, drink small amounts of water over a period of time. Taking too much all at once can overload your stomach and make you throw up. For people exercising in the heat and losing a lot of minerals in sweat, sports drinks can be helpful. But avoid any drinks that have caffeine.
The best way to deal with dehydration is to prevent it. Make sure to drink enough water in situations where you might become dehydrated. For those caring for small children or older people with conditions that can lead to dehydration, be sure to prompt the person to drink fluids and remind them often. It’s not just a one-time problem.

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.
