What can I do to prevent Heart Disease? By living a healthy lifestyle, you can help keep your blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar normal and lower your risk for heart disease and heart attack. A healthy lifestyle includes the following: • Eating a healthy diet. • Maintaining a healthy weight. • Getting enough physical activity. • Not smoking or using other forms of tobacco. • Limiting alcohol use. 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 and fewer processed foods. Eating foods low in saturated fats, trans fat, and cholesterol and high in fiber can help prevent high cholesterol. Limiting salt (sodium) in your diet also can lower your blood pressure. Limiting sugar in your diet can lower you blood sugar level to prevent or help control diabetes. Healthy Weight Being overweight or obese increases your risk for heart disease. To determine if your weight is in a healthy range, doctors often calculate your body mass index (BMI). Doctors sometimes also use waist and hip measurements to calculate excess body fat. They may use special equipment to calculate excess body fat and hydration status. Physical Activity Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight and lower your blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar levels. For adults, the Surgeon General recommends 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderateintensity exercise, like brisk walking or bicycling, every
1
week. Children and adolescents should get 1 hour of physical activity every day. For adults, the Surgeon General recommends 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking or bicycling, every week. Children and adolescents should get 1 hour of physical activity every day. No Smoking Cigarette smoking greatly increases your risk for heart disease. If you don’t smoke, don’t start. If you do smoke, quitting will lower your risk for heart disease. Your doctor can suggest ways to help you quit. Limited Alcohol Avoid drinking too much alcohol, which can raise your blood pressure. Men should have no more than 2 drinks per day, and women only 1.

Ways to Support National Cancer Prevention Month
Every February, individuals are invited to turn their attention to a very important cause: personal health. The second month of the year is National Cancer Prevention Month and activists and healthcare providers all work diligently to spread the word on simple ways that people can lower their risk of a cancer diagnosis.
According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, there are several ways that people can enhance their personal health and lessen their risk of becoming cancer patients. But for those looking to support National Cancer Prevention Month in a different way, here are a few suggestions that can get you started:
1. Learn your risk factors. When it comes to protecting your
own health, the best weapon you can have is information. Do some research and homework to find out what your personal risk factors are so that you are aware of them when making choices about your health. Regardless of whether you research information on prostate cancer, colon cancer or breast cancer, awareness of the risk factors is the first step in knowing where you stand for prevention.
2. Schedule a doctor’s appointment. Most people wait until
there’s something wrong to call their doctor. Get proactive about your health and schedule an appointment. Talk about your risk factors that you’ve researched, what changes need to be made (in order of priority) and strategies you can take to make those changes. Be sure to leave with some action items and a follow up plan to keep up with the momentum.
Start small. Pick one new healthy habit and work it into your everyday life. Maybe you’ll start with drinking 8 glasses of water a day. Perhaps you’ll work to include 30 minutes of exercise into your schedule 4 days a week. Wherever you start, keep it small. Once you’ve mastered that new habit, start a new one. Pretty soon you’ll be well on your way to hitting all your health goals.
4. Bring a friend. Maybe you don’t need to actually bring a friend to your doctor’s appointment but at least tell someone you know what you’re up to so that they’ll be inspired to schedule their own appointment or do their own homework. Passing on the gift of proactive healthcare has never hurt anyone and can only bring good things to all those involved.
There are so many other things that people can do to support National Cancer Prevention month including volunteering at a cancer awareness fundraiser or event or donating to a cause that is important to you. But the best place that anyone can start is at home. When you have your personal health at the forefront of your mind, you’re more likely to be in a position to help others down the road.

3. Introduce one new healthy habit. When people get
involved in working on their personal health, all the changes they “should” make can overwhelm them to the point where they won’t even try or they try to change everything at once and get burned out by the effort.

easy ways to brush your child's teeth!
So you made it through the first few months of child rearing and you think you have it down. Then that first little tooth appears with gobs of saliva flowing everywhere. “Now what?” you ask. How do you keep that little pearl of tooth clean and happy? The rule of thumb is that you are supposed to brush your kid’s teeth until the age of 7. Yep, you’re on the hook for seven years. It may not be a pleasurable experience – the kid doesn’t like it and resists, the child is uncomfortable, toothpaste gets everywhere, and it’s not any fun for the parents either. And you barely have enough time to brush your own teeth – let alone someone else’s. SO, WHAT IS THE BEST APPROACH?
Playing hardball can result in resentment and even dental phobia later on in life, which is still quite common (over 50% of the population seeks dental care only when they are in pain, which is horrible from a preventive model standpoint). There’s a cost benefit to teaching your child to be preventive in maintaining his oral health.
3
The first thing a parent can do before they try to brush the kid’s teeth, is, whenever they brush their teeth, brush in front of the child. It’s a subliminal message that you send to your kid that it’s something you do every day – you have to be the role model. Tap dance, crack jokes, do whatever it takes to convince your child that this is a normal and fun daily routine. Do this even as the child gets older – it is critical that the child gets this subliminal message from you so that it becomes a habit in adulthood. Teaching your kid to brush properly is in the same category as putting sunblock on your child or teaching your child to wear a seat belt or look both ways before crossing a road – it is critical! In the end, they will do what you did during those formative years. Brush and floss in front of and with your kids! Your own oral health will get a great boost at the same time! Here’s how to make brushing your child’s teeth a pleasurable experience as well as a habit your child takes into adulthood: EXPAND THE ARENA
Do not limit brushing to the bathroom! Brush on the beach after a family picnic. Brush in the car after snacks. They will learn by your example – they will follow your lead. Don’t limit their experiences of brushing at an early age.
MAKE TOOTHPASTE OPTIONAL
Don’t let toothpaste limit when and where you brush. Toothpaste can make kids want to gag or need to spit, and can make things unnecessarily messy, which makes brushing a chore. I’ve found that toothpaste will make parents less likely to brush their kids’ teeth because it just means they have to go into the bathroom with a bottle of Windex to wipe down the sink afterwards. GET IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR
I guarantee you will not be successful if you sit your child on the toilet and go at your kid with a toothbrush. Instead, have your child looking in the mirror while you stand behind her and brush her teeth (or assist her, depending on the age) while you both look into the mirror. Sitting on the toilet is for other activities. Don’t associate it with cleaning your teeth! STAY AWAY FROM THE GAUZE
Depending on your child’s age, you may have read in all the baby books that you should use gauze to rub or wipe your baby’s new teeth. This is a waste of time. It confuses the child, it’s not effective, tastes terrible (cotton mouth, yuck!) and this method wastes precious time to teach your child the proper way to brush. Get them used to it before they have the chance to form an opinion about what’s best. MAKE IT A PRIORITY
You’re trying to fit teeth brushing into a busy schedule, but your child interprets this to mean that brushing your teeth is an afterthought, and something to do as quickly as possible. Now is the time to send the message to your kids that their oral health is a priority. MAKE IT A FAMILY ACTIVITY
Just as dinner is a family activity, you can make brushing a time when the family gathers in the bathroom to brush after a meal. This is great when your child is just starting to brush their first tooth at around age one. Have one parent brush the other parent’s teeth. Let your kid brush your teeth! (good luck and make sure you don’t grimace!) Have your kid brush the dog’s teeth (wash hands thoroughly afterwards). KEEP IT POSITIVE
The worst thing you can do is threaten your child with brushing. Don’t tell your child that if she doesn’t brush, she’ll have to go see the dentist as if it’s some big scary punishment for not brushing. Brushing, as well as visiting the dentist, should both be positive lifelong habits. I love to use music for this purpose. Get a cheap music player in the bathroom to play your child’s latest favorite song. The guideline is two minutes for brushing, but at young ages, aim for four to five minutes or longer if your kid is having fun! If you go for four minutes, you’ll be more likely to get your two. Always brush when you’re not in a rush! KEEP THINGS ANALOG
I recommend an hourglass rather than a digital timer for timing brushing because most kids are very kinesthetic under the age of 7 and an hourglass allows the child to have a tangible concept of how much time is left to brush. An hourglass also can’t be manipulated like a digital timer can.

HOW TO:
Safely Exercise with Heart Disease! There is almost no disease that exercise doesn't benefit. As such, just because you've had a heart attack, a weak heart (congestive heart failure) or other heart disease, doesn't mean that you have to sit around and do nothing. In fact, with regular exercise (greater than 150 minutes a week), you may hasten your recovery, improve heart function and even get off of some of the medications you're on. Cardiovascular benefits of exercise include: • Strengthening your heart and cardiovascular system. • Improving your circulation and helping your body use oxygen better. • Improving your heart failure symptoms. • Lowering blood pressure. • Improving cholesterol. GETTING STARTED: THINGS TO DISCUSS WITH YOUR DOCTOR Always check with your doctor first before starting an exercise program. Your doctor can help you find a program for your level of fitness and physical condition. Here are some discussion questions: • How much exercise can I do? • How often can I exercise each week? • What type of exercise should I do? • What type of activities should I avoid? • Should I take my medication(s) at a certain time around my exercise schedule? • Do I have to take my pulse while exercising? Your doctor may decide to do a stress test or an echocardiogram, or to modify your medications. Always check with your doctor first before starting any exercise. GENERAL WORKOUT TIPS AND CAVEATS FOR PEOPLE WITH HEART FAILURE • Avoid too much isometric exercises such as pushups and sit-ups. Isometric exercises involve straining muscles against other muscles or an immovable object. • Don't exercise outdoors when it is too cold, hot or humid without checking with your doctor first. High humidity may cause you to tire more quickly. Extreme temperatures can interfere with circulation, make breathing difficult and cause chest pain. Better choices are indoor activities such as mall walking or a treadmill.
5
• Make sure you stay hydrated – within reason. It is important to drink water even before you feel thirsty, especially on hot days. But, be careful not to drink too much water. Check with your doctor first! • If your exercise program has been interrupted for more than a few days (for example, due to illness, vacation or bad weather), make sure you ease back into the routine. Start with a reduced level of activity, and gradually increase it until you are back where you started. WARNINGS DURING EXERCISE There are some precautions you must keep in mind when developing an exercise program: • Stop the exercise if you become overly fatigued or short of breath. Discuss the symptoms with your doctor, or schedule an appointment for evaluation. • Do not exercise if you are not feeling well or were very recently ill. You should wait a few days after all symptoms disappear before restarting the exercise program. If uncertain, check with your doctor first! • If you have persistent shortness of breath, rest and call your doctor. The doctor may make changes in medications, diet or fluid restrictions. • Stop the activity if you develop a rapid or irregular heartbeat or have heart palpitations. Check your pulse after you have rested for 15 minutes. If it's above 120 beats per minute at rest, call your doctor. • If you experience pain, don't ignore it. If you have chest pain or pain anywhere else in the body, do not allow the activity to continue. Performing an activity while in pain may cause stress or damage to the joints. • If you pass out, call your doctor or seek urgent care as soon as you awake. Stop exercising and rest if you have any of the following symptoms: • Chest pain. • Weakness. • Dizziness or lightheadedness. • Unexplained weight gain or swelling (Call your doctor right away). • Pressure or pain in your chest, neck, arm, jaw or shoulder, or any other symptoms that cause concern. • Never exercise to the point of chest pain or angina. If you develop chest pain during exercise, call 911 right away. EXERCISE: ONLY ONE PART OF THE EQUATION In order to maintain optimal cardiovascular health, eating a heart healthy and mostly plant-based diet, along with stress reduction, in combination with exercise as outlined above is critical for success.

7Prevent Cancer Heart-Healthy Habits that
Are you doing your best to live a heart-healthy lifestyle? If so, you have a lower chance of developing cancer, too. A study by the American Heart Association (AHA) found that people practicing healthy heart habits had a significantly lower chance of developing cancer—a 38-percent lower risk, to be exact. “This is great news for all of us,” says A. Marc Gillinov, MD, cardiac surgeon in Cleveland Clinic’s Heart & Vascular Institute. “Research continues to confirm that you can control your health. By following a few simple strategies, we can dramatically reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.” Heart disease and cancer are the top two causes of death for people in the United States. For a long time, it has been known that healthy behaviors are good for our overall health, but knowing that there is a relation between heart and cancer risk factors is novel. The study by AHA spanned 13 years and followed more than 13,000 healthy individuals. Participants were measured using the seven heart health “metrics” and were tracked for any cancer that developed during that time. Researchers found that the more “ideal” metric factors people had, the less likely they were to develop cancer. What does the research say? Compared to people who had none of the seven factors, having just one reduced the risk of cancer by 20 percent. Three factors lowered the risk of cancer by 22 percent; and five to seven pushed the risk down 38 percent. According to AHA, these are the seven metrics for heart health – and now we know, these same metrics make it less likely to be diagnosed with cancer.
• BE ACTIVE. When adults get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at least five times a week, they can lower risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes. • KEEP A HEALTHY WEIGHT. Too much fat, especially around the waist, raises your risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. About two-thirds of adults in the U.S. are overweight or obese. • EAT A HEALTHY DIET. A diet high in whole-grain fiber, lean proteins and colorful fruits and vegetables and low in saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, sodium and added sugars can greatly improve health. • KEEP SAFE BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS. Protect your vital organs and reduce consumption of simple sugars that are found in soda, candy and sugary desserts. If you have diabetes, this can cause blood sugar to rise to dangerous levels, damaging the heart, kidneys, eyes and nerves over time. • MANAGE YOUR CHOLESTEROL. When you have too much “bad” LDL cholesterol, plaque can form in veins and arteries, which can cause heart attack and strokes. • KEEP BLOOD PRESSURE DOWN. Hypertension is the most significant risk factor for heart disease and it puts a strain on your kidneys. • DON’T SMOKE. Smoking damages the entire circulatory system and increases your risk for coronary heart disease, hardened arteries, aneurysms and blood clots.

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