Pondering probiotics?
Here's what you should know.
ARA Content
You've probably heard the
buzz about the "good" bacteria that can promote healthy
digestion and immune function. But if you're having a
hard time wrapping your
mind around the idea that
there's a kind of bacteria we
want in our lives, it may be
time for a primer on probiotics.
Just what are probiotics?
How do they work? And are
they really as beneficial as
they seem?
What they are
The United Nations Food
and Agriculture Organization
defines probiotics as "live
microorganisms that, when
administered in adequate
amounts, confer a health benefit on the host." Such prestigious scientific journals as the
European Journal of Nutrition,
Pediatric Research and the
Journal of Food Science have
published research on probiotics. And at least one famous
actress promotes the benefits
of probiotics in a series of television commercials for a
brand of yogurt that incorporates probiotics into one of its
products.
How they work
Probiotics are often called
"friendly bacteria." They live
in our digestive tract and promote healthy digestion and
absorption of nutrients, which
research has shown. They are
also beneficial in supporting a
strong immune system.
Digestive health is the core
of our overall health. If our
digestive system is not functioning properly, we may have
problems breaking down
nutrients that we consume
into forms that our body can
use for energy. A healthy, efficient digestive system helps us
maximize the benefits of the
vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that defend us against
nutritional deficiencies. And,
with up to 80 percent of the
immune cells in our bodies
concentrated in the digestive
tract, digestive health is
strongly linked to immune
health.
Probiotics can be beneficial
for anyone who wants to
maintain good digestive
health and support immune
function.
How we get them
Friendly bacteria should naturally occur in our bodies.
Sometimes, however, poor
eating habits, antibiotics or
unfriendly microorganisms
like disease-causing bacteria
or yeast can upset the balance
of good bacteria in our bodies. When this happens, you
may experience diarrhea, constipation, gas and bloating.
Taking probiotics can help
replace friendly bacteria.
Several yogurt brands have
introduced products that
incorporate probiotics into
their formula. But if you're not
a yogurt fan, have lactose
intolerance, travel regularly, or
just want to get as pure and
effective a form of probiotics
as possible, you may want to
consider a probiotic supplement instead — like USANA
Health Sciences' Probiotic
food supplement. You can add
the vanilla-flavored powder to
food or drink and receive a
50/50 mix of two of the most
beneficial strains of probiotic
bacteria. Plus, it is designed to
make it more likely for the
friendly bacteria to survive the
acid in your stomach and
repopulate your digestive
tract.
Important facts about them
Not all yogurt contains probiotics. And bacteria — good
or bad — may not survive the
acidic conditions in your
stomach in sufficient numbers
to effectively colonize your
digestive tract. There are also
many species of probiotic
bacteria and they vary in their
ability to colonize your system and provide digestive and
immunity benefits.
Because they are a naturally
occurring bacteria, probiotics
are generally accepted as
being safe. But, you should
check with your doctor if
you're combining probiotics
with conventional treatment
for any condition, just as you
would with any dietary supplement.

immune support, visit

Eco-friendly cosmetics
Metro Creative Services
Although the saying is "You
are what you eat," what you
put on your face and body
can be affecting who you
are as well. Makeup choices
might be more than just
good for the body. They
might also be good for the
planet.
Did you know that approximately 60 percent of what
you put on your skin is
absorbed into the bloodstream? If the cosmetics you
frequently use are full of
chemical preservatives, then
you may be adding impurities to your body. What's
more, additives in cosmetics
may take a toll on the planet. Some are derived from
petroleum, while others may
be animal-based or tested on
animals — both scenarios
are poor for the planet.
Certain repeat offenders in
cosmetics are parabens and
phthalates. Parabens are
preservatives used in makeup to prevent microbial
growth. However, these substances may mimic estrogen

tribute to some cancers.
Though research is ongoing,
parabens have been found in
cancerous breast tissue.
Phthalates are used as plastic softeners and in some
solvents, like nail polish
remover. They may also be
carcinogenic in high doses
or with repeated use. You
may be surprised to find that
mercury, coal tar colors and
formaldehyde are also found
in many cosmetics. These,
too, are thought to be carcinogens.
Choosing environmentally
friendly cosmetics can
improve your health and the
environment's as well. Here
are some brands to consider.
Check out the many
brands of mineral makeups
that have exploded onto the
cosmetic market. Make sure
the ingredients are free of
talc, which can be an irritant. E.l.f., L'Oreal and
Everyday Minerals are
brands that use 100 percent
natural minerals.
Burt's Bees has long been
providing all-natural cosmetic products, from lip balm to
body cream to toothpaste.
The company says it's goal
"is to help create a world
where people have the information and tools they need
to make the highest ethical
choices and do the best for
themselves, their families
and the environment." Their
products are all-natural and
never contain sulfates,
parabens, phthalates or
petrochemicals.
Recipient of the first ECOCERT certified organic natural makeup lines in the
United States, Physician's
Formula Organic Wear
Makeup features products
that are 100 percent free of
chemicals, parabens and
synthetic preservatives. Plus,
their packaging is ecofriendly.
Going green involves subtle lifestyle changes, such as
switching cosmetics to ecofriendly options. With growing interest in environmental
issues, it's now possible to
find green cosmetics at
nationwide retailers and not
just specialty shops.

Treating the
depressed child
Childhood depression is not rare.
Hobart, NY — As the hustle
and bustle of the new school
year approaches, the scheduling of our already busy
lives often hits overdrive.
Despite the myriad distractions during this time, it is
important for parents and
guardians to remember to
keep a keen eye on their
children’s behavior, especially those children who have
had a Major Depressive
Episode (defined by the
Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services
Administration as a period of
at least two weeks when a
person experiences a
depressed mood or loss of
interest or pleasure in daily
activities plus four additional
symptoms of depression).
The Major Depressive
Episode is far from rare, as 8
percent of the population in
2007 aged 12-17 years old
experienced at least one of
these episodes in that year,
according to the Federal
Interagency Forum on Child
and Family Statistics.
Here, Dr. Frederic Flach,
internationally renowned
psychiatrist and author of
The Secret Strength of
Depression, now in its fourth
edition, explains the options
to consider when dealing
with the depression of a
minor:
Of course, treatment for
clinical depression can be
straightforward or very complicated. Parents’ problems
such as alcoholism or pathological gambling and psychiatric illnesses, such as adult
schizophrenia, must often be
directly addressed, since a
child’s disturbance is often a
mirror for destructive interactions within the family.
At other times, antidepressants, such as the selective
serotonin reuptake nhibitors,
may be indicated. While
studies of these medications
in children are still limited,
they seem to be relatively
free of serious side-effects,
and no interference with
normal growth and development has been reported.
As with any medical procedure, the risk-reward ratio
must be kept in mind.
Would a particular child’s
progress be better served by
allowing him or her to struggle within the limitations
imposed by chronic depression, relying entirely on his

Major Depressive
Episode in 2007
own and his parents’ psychological therapy to do the
job, or by giving him or her
an antidepressant that would
improve mood and enable
more effective function
<< IT’S YOUR FAMILY
while other therapies are
being carried on? This decision must be made collaboratively between doctor and
parents, with the child being
encouraged to cooperate in
an informed way, mitigating
the fear of stigma that both
family and patient may
experience.
If a child has bipolar illness, the use of medications
is even more compelling,
considering the key role
played by biological and
genetic causes. Failure to
diagnose and treat these
children quickly and effectively carries the serious
complication of denying the
child the opportunity to
experience vital educational
and interpersonal growth. It
also bears a significantly
increased risk of school failure, alcohol and drug abuse,
and suicide.
Every depressed child is
unique, in his or her own
way. In some ways, in
Western countries, growing
up is easier than it was a
hundred years ago—physically, that is. But psychologically it is probably just as
difficult if not more so. Twoparent homes and healthy,
happy families are increasingly hard to find. It is sometimes hard to tell whether
physical and sexual abuse of
children is more widespread
or just more visible.
Underfunded schools have
failed at their missions, not
just to educate but also to
encourage the development
of character and the skills
and values necessary to
cope with life’s challenges.
Some parents have lost
sight of the genuine spirituality that once served as a
beacon to enrich the souls of
other generations.
Children are the future of
humanity. In all too many
instances, they deserve a
good deal better than they
are getting.

Fish oil
supplements
How to make the safe, effective choice
ARA Content
Americans now swallow fish
oil more often than multivitamins, according to Consumer
Lab's recent annual survey of
vitamin and supplement users.
And it's no wonder why — fish
oil is one of the best supplements anyone can take.
"Over the past 30 years, more
than 7,000 scientific studies,
including 900 human clinical
trials, have provided evidence
supporting the effectiveness of
fish oil and omega-3 EFAs in
the prevention and treatment of
our most common diseases,"
says Dr. Joseph Maroon, author
of 'Fish Oil: The Natural AntiInflammatory.' "These diseases
include cardiovascular disease,
stroke, cancer, hyperlipidemia,
Alzheimer's disease, attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder,
rheumatoid arthritis, dry eye
syndrome and many other
health conditions ... and they
do not have the potentially
lethal side effects of pharmacological agents."
But not all fish oils are created
equal, and quality is key to
receiving these important health
benefits. So how do you know
you are getting a high quality,
safe and effective product?
What should you look for when
choosing a fish oil supplement?
"The major manufacturing
concerns that separate highquality supplements from the
rest of the pack are purity, freshness and concentration,"
Maroon says.
Purity is important because all
fish store environmental toxins
such as mercury and PCBs in
their bodies, and some fish oil
manufacturers do a much better
job at removing these contaminants than others. You can protect yourself from harmful toxins by choosing products that
are molecularly distilled for
purity and verified by thirdparty testing, always surpassing
the strictest internationally
accepted quality standards for
purity and freshness established
by the Council for Responsible
Nutrition (CRN), World Health
Organization (WHO) and
International Fish Oil Standards
(IFOS).
Freshness, which ensures
product integrity and efficacy,
may be the single most important quality of fish oils.
Oxidized oil (or rancid oil) is
the cause of the fishy smell and
taste that has given fish oil a
bad reputation among many
people. But oxidation also
results in compounds (called
peroxides) that are harmful to
the body and have been linked
to diseases.
High-end fish oil manufacturers have developed oxygen-free
processing techniques to keep
oxidation at an absolute minimum, which ensures superior
freshness levels. You can protect
yourself from oxidized fish oil
by choosing fish oil products
that are third-party tested for
freshness, which is measured
<< IT’S YOUR DIET
by TOTOX values. Remember:
the lower the number, the
fresher (less oxidized) the fish
oil.
Concentration is crucial to
getting results. Maroon says that
the difference between highquality and low-quality fish oil
supplements often comes down
to the amount of EPA and DHA
they contain. Read the label
carefully to determine how
much omega-3s (EPA plus
DHA) each serving contains.
For general maintenance, with
no specific health concerns, a
daily dose would average about
500 mg of EPA plus DHA combined. If you have a specific
health condition, the recommended dosage is typically
considerably higher, and should
be determined in consultation
with your doctor or health
practitioner. As Maroon notes,
"Higher-quality fish oil supplements will cost more... but you
will be able to take fewer of
these supplements in order to
obtain adequate amounts of
omega-3s." A less expensive
bottle does not necessarily
mean a good bargain.
There is only one way to have
confidence in a product's purity, freshness, and concentration
— third-party testing. Any
responsible fish oil manufacturer will commission an independent testing organization,
which does not benefit financially from the test results, to
test their fish oil for purity and
freshness. These third-party
results should be on the company website or available upon
request.
Sometimes you will find test
results on public websites like
www.ifosprogram.com in the
Consumer Report section. By
comparing the test results for
purity and freshness levels from
different brands, you can differentiate lower quality from higher quality fish oil, thereby
ensuring safety and efficacy.
"Nordic Naturals is my preferred brand of fish oil because
the purity, freshness, and concentration of their oil is
unmatched. My patients have
seen great results with their
products," adds Maroon.

Homemade
baby food
A healthy, green choice for your family
Infants are commonly
introduced to solid foods
between 4 and 6 months of
age. When preparing for the
addition of solid foods to a
child's eating schedule, parents may want to consider
the health and environmental benefits of making their
own baby food.
Commercially made baby
foods are relatively safe,
convenient and inexpensive.
However, homemade baby
foods are even more cost-
effective and allow parents
to regulate the ingredients
put into the foods.
Individuals concerned
about pesticides and other
food additives should consider organic foods when
making baby foods. These
foods are grown and harvested under stringent
guidelines.
Preparing homemade baby
foods requires a few materials:
a food grinder, food mill,
or food processor
storage containers
fresh foods
Most baby foods are prepared by cooking the food
until soft, allowing it to cool
and then grinding the food
down to a palatable texture
depending upon the child's
age. Steaming retains the
most nutrients in foods.
Parents can also bake, boil
or microwave foods. Some
fruits, such as bananas, do
not need to be cooked
before use. Also, use caution with nitrate-high foods,
such as carrots, beets, and
green beans. These foods
should be made in small
batches and used quickly.
Nitrates can build up in the
foods when stored. Freezing
foods that are potentially
high in nitrates can alleviate
this situation.
Young infants should be
introduced to one food
every two to three days to
check for allergic reactions
and tolerance. Once parents
have determined which
foods a child can tolerate,
they can then begin to
experiment with food
blends the children may
enjoy.
As a child grows, parents
can vary the texture of
foods, particularly when
children begin to grow
teeth. Eventually a child will
want to self-feed finger
foods and then parents can
simply use foods that come
right off of the dinner table.
Homemade baby food can
be inexpensive. That's
because parents can buy
ingredients in bulk and store
leftovers for later usage.
Also, there are no costs of
packaging when making
homemade baby food, benefitting the environment by
creating less waste and
using less energy.
Supporters of homemade
baby food say there is
another advantage apart
from the cost and environmental factors. Some say
children who eat the same
foods their parents are eating may be less picky eaters
as they approach the toddler
years.
Parents looking to experiment with homemade baby
foods can find recipes both
online and in books.

Quality

Study shows importance of specialty skincare for cancer patients
Those battling cancer can use
all the help they can get to
improve their quality of life
during and after treatment. A
recent study indicates that
being informed of potential
skin side effects and taking
action to alleviate symptoms
can help individuals cope and
dramatically improve their
daily lives. Every cancer patient
should be at the ready with
must-have products stocked in
his or her medicine cabinet.
"Advance knowledge of side
effects and proactive management approaches have been
shown to decrease anxiety,
improve adherence to cancer
treatment, and improve quality
of life," said Dr. Mario
Lacouture of Northwestern
University (now at Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center).
While certain side effects
associated with cancer treatments, including lethargy, nausea and hair loss are well
known, one may be surprised
to learn that chemotherapy and
radiation therapies can also
affect the skin and nails.
Redness, rashes, itching, peeling, dryness, and increased
sensitivity to the sun may
occur.
Dr. Lacouture headed a study
examining skincare products
specifically designed to address
the skin-related side effects of
cancer treatment. His findings
showed that these products
greatly improved skin-related
quality of life, improved overall
appearance, and were more
soothing and gentle than other
regimens previously used. One
of the brands included in the
study was Lindi Skin.
Individuals who are in the
throes of cancer treatment may
already feel self-conscious
about their appearance and
apprehensive about the future.
Lindy Snider, a pioneer in the
development of products specific for cancer patients, created Lindi Skin with cancer
patients in mind.
This extensive collection of
mild and luxurious serums,
lotions and balms is the only
full line of skincare products
created for those suffering the
skin side effects of specific cancer therapies. Snider consulted
with leading dermatologists
and oncologists to find the right
skincare therapy for sensitive
skin. The result is an exclusive
blend of botanical ingredients.
These include willow herb,
lavender, red raspberry, pine
bark, tomato, cranberry, and
echinacea to refresh, renew
and rejuvenate compromised
skin.
Terri from Franklin Square, NY
says about Lindi Skin, "I love,
love, love all your products!
They helped me get through
two years of assorted chemo
and radiation treatments looking the best that I possibly
could and feeling positively
pampered. I will continue to
use all my Lindi goodies
because I never mess with a
good thing!"
Lindi Skin is available in more
than 1,000 retail locations and
hospitals throughout the country. To learn more, visit

Banning
junk
food
A new era in school systems
Nutrition experts have long
urged schools to cut down on
the amount of sugary and fattening foods they have avail-
able on campus. Now the
U.S. government is flexing its
muscles regarding the junk
food ban.
There's a food fight going
on, and it involves the government, schools and students. Legislation was proposed in February 2010 to
ban sugary drinks and other
junk foods from schools. But
many argue that removing
vending machines and fatty
foods from schools may do
little to impact growing obesity rates among the country's
youth and may only fuel students to "smuggle" in foods of
their choice.
There is also concern over
the foods that are the staples
of school fundraisers. Candy
bars, cookies, holiday treats
— all of these items are frequently sold to raise money
for athletic teams and other
extracurricular clubs. Will the
junk food ban extend to
restricting chocolate bar sales
for the glee club?
Part of the legislature is a
result of Michelle Obama’s
pledge to make childhood
obesity her mission du jour.
She says importance has to
be placed on this issue.
According to the CDC,
childhood obesity has tripled
in the last 30 years. A combi-
nation of increased caloric
intake and sedentary
lifestyles has led many children to be classified as
obese. As of 2008, 19.6 percent of children ages 6 to 11
were and 18.1 percent of
adolescents 12 to 19 were
obese.
Obesity puts individuals at
risk for many health ailments.
Increased risk for cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol and high blood pressure
are some concerns. Cancer,
type 2 diabetes and joint
problems are also an
increased risk for overweight
kids.
Many schools have already
taken on individual initiatives
to reduce unhealthy foods in
schools and beef up the offerings of healthy alternatives. A
federal push in schools could
see an overhaul of school
breakfast and lunch programs
that would mean additional
money spent by school districts that are already tapped
for funds. Healthier foods
tend to cost more to buy and
produce.
Some detractors argue that
a ban will not alleviate the
problems. Students who cannot buy junk food at school
will simply bring it with them
from home or indulge after
school hours. Perhaps more
education on healthy eating,
including showing students
that healthier alternatives can
still be tasty, is a better route
to putting a dent in obesity
numbers.
Plus, it's up to parents and
caregivers to do their part,
say health experts. If the message for healthy eating does
not extend beyond school
property, kids are less likely
to get the message. Therefore,
healthy foods will have to be
a part of home life as well.

Natural ways
to treat
psoriasis
Psoriasis is the most common autoimmune disease in
the United States. Millions of
people are afflicted with the
condition and seek methods
of treatment. All-natural therapies can be used in replacement of or in conjunction
with medical treatments.
The National Psoriasis
Foundation reports that 125
million people across the
globe — 2 to 3 percent of the
total population — suffer from
psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease
in which skin cells replicate at
a rapid rate as new skin cells
are produced much faster
than is normal. However, old
skin cells slough off at a normal rate, resulting in a buildup of cells on the skin surface. This leads to red, raised
scaly patches which are itchy
and sore.
Psoriasis often appears
between the ages of 15 and
25 but can develop at any
age. Of the people who experience psoriasis, 10 to 30 percent may also experience psoriatic arthritis.
The red, scaly patches of
psoriasis can appear anywhere on the body, but generally occur on the face, scalp,
elbows, and knees. The
National Psoriasis Foundation
defines mild psoriasis as
affecting less than 3 percent
of the body; 3 to 10 percent is
considered moderate; more
than 10 percent is considered
severe. The severity of psoriasis is also measured by how
psoriasis affects a person's
quality of life.
Some of the common treatments for psoriasis include
topical steroid creams and
lotions for the scalp.
Prescription pills taken orally
can slow down the autoimmune response. Individuals
looking for more natural treatments can consider the following options:
Zinc: Deficiencies in zinc
have been linked to autoimmune problems. Taking a zinc
supplement may help.
Essential fatty acids:
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty
acids are thought to have
many positive effects on the
body, including reducing
heart attack risk and improving mental function. Some
studies indicate that individuals deficient in essential fatty
acids may find this contributes
to psoriasis. Essential fatty
acids are found in supplements, and through oily fish,
flaxseed, hemp, soybean oil,
pumpkin seeds, sunflower
seeds, walnuts, and dark
green leafy vegetables.
Sunlight: There is evidence
that exposure to short bursts
of sunlight (not enough to
induce sunburn) can help
alleviate psoriasis. UVB rays
penetrate the skin and slow
down the rapid production of
skin cells.
Salt water: Swimming in the
ocean can be therapeutic for
psoriasis as well. Combined
with moderate sunbathing,
salt water can be quite effective.
Vitamin D: Treatments for
osteoporosis, including supplementation with prescription-strength vitamin D, have
proven effective at clearing up
psoriasis. Natural forms of
vitamin D, including milk and
other dairy products, may be
able to help, too.

bounty of crisp flavor and
health benefits, including the
chance to reduce your risk of
cardiovascular disease. A recent
study in the American Journal
of Clinical Nutrition cited pears
as a food that may help reduce
cardiovascular risk among post-
menopausal women.
Pears contain flavonoids and
anthocyanins that are believed
to be linked to heart health.
They are also an excellent
source of fiber, another nutrient
known to combat heart disease
and promote digestive health.
Pears are naturally cholesterol
and sodium free, and contain

just 1 gram of fat. A California
Bartlett pear has just 100 calories and packs a powerful
punch of vitamin C and potassium.
Here are some facts, ideas
and recipes to help you incorporate pears into your diet:
Pears are usually available
through fall into early winter.
The Bartlett pear is the major
variety produced in California.
Pear varieties grown in
California include Forelle,
Seckel, Sunsprite, Red Pear,
Bosc, Comice and Bartlett.
Each has its own distinct color,
shape and flavor.
For a quick, fun and nutritious breakfast or anytime treat,
top a slice of whole grain
wheat toast with almond butter
and sliced pears.
Make a spread of chopped
pear, chopped walnuts, cinnamon and honey and use it as a
spread on your bagel (instead
of fatty cream cheese). Or, you
can put it on toast, muffins or
even crackers.
Dip sliced pears in honey
and then chopped nuts, sunflower seeds or even chocolate
sprinkles for a healthy snack
that only seems decadent.
Instead of croutons which
are high in fat, top your salad
with sliced pears. Add extra
pizzazz with crumbled bleu
cheese and walnuts.
For an interesting twist, top
your holiday ham or pork roast
with pear slices instead of
pineapple. Place the slices on
top of the meat just 15 minutes
before it finishes cooking.
Add chopped pears to a salsa
of red bell peppers, jalapenos,
cilantro and lemon juice. Serve
it with pita chips, baked tortilla
slices or with chicken breasts or
quesadillas.

<< AGE
SENIORS: Take advantage
of free Medicare diabetes tests
StatePoint
Approximately seven out of 10
adults aged 65 or older have
diabetes or pre-diabetes — and
many don't know it. Almost
half of older Americans with
diabetes aren't aware they have
the disease.
Fortunately, Medicare has
been offering free diabetes
screening to those at risk since
2005. But utilization has been
low and many seniors remain
undiagnosed. In fact, less than
10 percent of those eligible
have taken advantage of the
tests.
That's why Oscar-winner
Olympia Dukakis and her husband, actor Louis Zorich, are
urging at-risk adults 65 and
older to get screened. In partnership with Novo Nordisk, a
world leader in diabetes care,
they are spearheading an educational program known as
"Ask.Screen.Know." The program encourages people
enrolled in Medicare to ask
their healthcare providers about
free diabetes screenings in
order to know their blood sugar
levels and what actions to take.
For Dukakis and her husband,
this program hits close to home.
Having been married for 47
years, the couple recently got
tested and Zorich learned he
has type 2 diabetes.
"When we learned that less
than 10 percent of people with
Medicare have taken advantage
of the diabetes screening benefit, we knew we had to do
something," said Dukakis. "So
we joined forces with Novo
Nordisk to share our story. We
asked, got screened and now
know where our health stands
relative to diabetes."
With a history of diabetes in
Zorich's family, the time was
right to be screened. "We want
to be around for as long as possible for each other, and our
family," said Zorich. "Now that
we know I have diabetes, we
can manage the disease the
right way, by exercising more
and eating better."
Why screen?
When your body doesn't
make enough insulin or prevents the insulin you produce
from working properly, this
could lead to diabetes. The condition requires that individuals
do the work their bodies used
to do automatically to maintain
the insulin/glucose balance. The
risk of type 2 diabetes, the most
common form of diabetes,
increases as you get older, often
because people typically exercise less, lose muscle mass and
gain weight as they age.
If left undiagnosed or unmanaged, diabetes can lead to
blindness, kidney disease, foot
amputation, heart disease and
stroke. But these issues often
can be avoided.
Free screenings
Medicare offers free diabetes
screening for enrolled adults 65
and older who have at least one
risk factor. These factors include
family history, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity
and a history of diabetes during
pregnancy.
Aside from telling if you have
diabetes, these tests also can
identify a condition known as
pre-diabetes. With pre-diabetes,
blood sugar levels are higher
than normal but not yet high
enough to be diagnosed as diabetes.
If doctors suspect diabetes in
patients with normal fasting
blood glucose levels, they may
recommend an oral glucose tolerance test, which also is covered by Medicare.
To obtain benefit information
about the Medicare diabetes
screening benefit, learn more
about diabetes and pre-diabetes, and keep track of your
blood sugar numbers, visit
AskScreenKnow.com. The site
even invites users to send personalized e-mails or voicemails
from Dukakis to family members and friends, to help spread
the word about the free
Medicare diabetes screening.
<< ORAL HEALTH
The
Mouth to Body
Connection
Periodontal disease linked to
host of other medical problems
Submitted by Dr. Kassube,
Midwest Periodontics
Periodontal health and
overall health
During the late 1800s there
was a popular theory called
Focal Infection. Experts of the
time were convinced that a focus
of infection could arise somewhere in the body and cause
problems elsewhere. There were
a number of ailments that were
blamed on dental infections, for
example, ulcers, arthritis and
appendicitis. A physician may
have accurately diagnosed a
case of appendicitis and then
recommended that all teeth be
removed. Many people had their
teeth therapeutically removed
hoping to avoid some of those
systemic maladies.
Into the early and mid 1900s
the focal infection theory fell out
of favor. For many years, periodontal disease was considered
to be more of a localized infection. However, with sophisticated research and recent clinical
trials, the pendulum is now
swinging back.
Cause of periodontal disease
Periodontal disease is an infection. The primary cause is dental
plaque, which is bacteria. There
is a common misconception that
the cause is food. If we never ate
another meal, the mouth would
still be loaded with bacteria. The
oral cavity, being warm and
moist, is ideal for bacterial
growth.
The problem is that there are
over 400 kinds of bacteria in the
oral cavity. Many are normal
flora that a healthy immune system will keep in check. If the
dental plaque is not brushed and
flossed away properly, it will
advance beneath the gum line
and create pockets of infection
around the teeth, where bacteria
is even more destructive and
have the ability to destroy bone
and loosen teeth.
Gingivitis
An early stage of periodontal
disease is called gingivitis, which
means inflammation of the gum
tissue. Signs and symptoms
include redness swelling and
bleeding. Absence of bleeding
does not necessarily mean
absence of disease. In more
advanced cases of periodontal
disease, there may not be any
bleeding at all, as the disease
activity is no longer on the surface.
Periodontitis
Periodontitis is a more severe
form of periodontal disease. If
not treated soon enough, plaque
has the capability of destroying
the gum attachment to the tooth
as well as the supporting bone.
This condition will require more
extensive treatment. Also, with
periodontal disease, heavy loads
of destructive bacteria may be in
close proximity to the gum tissue’s blood supply. Simple tasks
such as tooth picking or chewing
coarse foods may allow these
bacteria to access the blood
stream. This allows the periodontal disease causing bacteria to
circulate throughout the entire
body.
Diabetes and
periodontal disease
We have known for many years
that poorly controlled diabetics
tend to have more severe periodontal problems. The condition
is now considered to be more
bidrectional because periodontal
disease can also have an effect
on diabetes control. A group of
insulin dependent diabetics with
periodontal disease were followed in a research study. Those
who had the periodontal disease
treated needed less insulin and
had more stable blood sugar
readings than the control group.
Periodontal disease and
heart attack/stroke
Other studies have concluded
that people with untreated periodontal disease are more likely
to have cardiovascular disease.
Periodontal disease does not
cause someone to have a heart
attack, but it may be as much of
a contributing factor as smoking,
cholesterol and high blood pressure.
In another study, people diagnosed with acute cerebrovascular ischemia or stroke were
found more likely to have an oral
infection when compared to
those in the control group.
Pregnancy and
periodontal disease
Research studies have also
shown that pregnant women
with periodontal disease are
more likely to have a premature
low birth weight baby compared
to women with healthy gum tissue.
Conclusion
Clearly, periodontal disease is
far from being just an oral health
problem and can adversely affect
conditions outside the mouth.
Brushing, flossing and regular
professional cleanings are necessary for dental health. As we are
learning more and more, dental
health is important for systemic
health.
Improving
your image
Increasing range of options in plastic surgery
Submitted by
Plastic Surgery Associates of
South Dakota, Ltd.
Do you have wrinkles,
facial folds, crow’s feet or
bags under your eyes? Would
you like to feel more confident in a bathing suit or
enjoy enhanced ‘curve
appeal’?
Plastic surgeons, Drs.
Meyer, Miller and Breit say
there are many options available from minor tweaks to
major changes.
Breast augmentation is one
of the most popular procedures requested this time of
year, says Nancy Miller, clinic manager for Plastic Surgery
Associates of S.D. For someone looking to enhance
what’s already there, breast
augmentation is an option.
Breast augmentation enables
a woman to enlarge her
breast size, allowing her
clothes to fit better and give
her more options for her
wardrobe. The ability to wear
clothes better is the most
common reason given for
considering breast augmentation, but the real reward is an
improved self image.
Some patients see natural
changes with the loss of size
and shape of the breasts and
are candidates for a breast
lift. A breast lift can be
accomplished with or without augmentation to also give
that sense of self-satisfaction.
Patients at the other end of
the spectrum also find
wardrobe limitations, however they have the added problems of chronic pain of the
back, shoulders or neck.
With the pain controlled by
breast reduction, these
patients are some of the happiest patients seen in plastic
surgery, states Dr. Meyer. As
one patient said, “I can’t
believe how much easier it is
to find clothes to fit and my
back and neck pain are
gone.”
Liposuction and abdominoplasty are also very popular
procedures. These procedures, in conjunction with
breast procedures, are often
called the “mommy
makeover,” a new term that
has surfaced for those
patients seeking improvement
after changes in their body
due to childbearing.
Liposuction works well in
patients that are near their
normal weight but have areas
of fat that do no disappear
with diet or exercise.
Abdominoplasty not only
gets rids of excess fat and
skin on the abdomen but
tightens up the abdominal
muscles as well.
Treatment of aging facial
skin has seen a great influx of
products and procedures.
One of the most common
misconceptions about facial
skin is that it can be attributed mainly to gravity. In fact,
the largest contributing factors are fat loss and sun damage. Patients who suffer premature signs of aging as a
result of sun damage can
choose skin rejuvenation pro-
<< IT’S YOUR LOOK
cedures utilizing a laser,
intense pulse light (IPL) or a
chemical peel. Plastic
Surgery Associates of South
Dakot has several different
types of laser that enable
them to treat all types of skin
damage. To increase fullness
or lost volume in the face,
injectable fillers like
Radiesse, Restylane and
Juvederm are the preferred
options. BOTOX®, a neuromuscular relaxing agent, is
also helpful for treating
frown lines and wrinkles in
general. Even though these
are temporary, they offer an
affordable option for a more
youthful appearance. We are
seeing fantastic results with
the use of facial fillers, says
Dr. Miller.
Lana elected to have
Radiesse & Juvederm injections and said “the difference
is amazing. I should have
gotten this done sooner. The
fun part is that I can use
makeup to accentuate again
rather than try to conceal the
unconcealable. It feels good
to like your own face again.”
Want to feel better about
yourself when looking in the
mirror? The field of plastic
surgery certainly provides
many options. With their
knowledge, education and
skills, Drs. Meyer, Miller and
Breit are able to offer customized solutions to help
you achieve your goals.
Cosmetic surgery is a personal choice.

WOMEN: Identify your MIGRAINE
triggers
NewsUSA
Migraines — those chronic, severe headaches that
cause intense, crippling
pain that is often accompanied by nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound —
have triggers, or a variety of
factors and events that make
them more likely to occur.
Not every migraine sufferer has the same triggers,
and the same migraine sufferer might not react to her
triggers the same way every
time. Sometimes, it's not a
single trigger, but a series of
triggers that cause the
migraine. For example, a
woman might not get a
migraine from skipping a
meal, but might get a
migraine from skipping a
meal on a day in which
she's had inadequate sleep
or too much caffeine.
Women are three times as
likely to have migraines as
men, and their triggers may
be slightly different.
According to the National
Institutes of Health and the
U.S. National Library of
Medicine, many women
with migraines experience
the following triggers:
Too much or
too little sleep
Skipped meals
Hormone changes
during the
menstrual cycle
Stress
Weather changes
Alcohol
(often red wine)
Caffeine
Foods that contain
nitrates, MSG,
tyramine or aspartame
Bright lights
Strong odors
The good news? Identifying
migraine triggers can help
women avoid migraines.
Women experiencing
migraines should start keeping a migraine diary. Every
time they have a headache,
they can write down where
they were and what they
were doing, what they ate
24 hours before the attack
and what day of their period
they were on when the
headache started. This can
help them identify patterns.
For example, if a woman
gets migraines whenever
she has a hot dog with Diet
Coke, she might be sensitive
to nitrates, aspartame and
caffeine.
Of course, women can't
always avoid migraine triggers like weather changes or
too little sleep, so it's a
good idea to keep a
migraine treatment on hand.
One all-natural migraine
remedy, Lipigesic M, uses
feverfew and ginger to
reduce the inflammation
that causes migraine
headaches.
