You Can Count On It... Benefits of Exercise Add Up

Appearance, youth fu lness: Exercise helps to keep yourbody trim, your muscles toned, your posture straight and tall,

and your complexion clear and glowing.

Strength: Exercise helps build strong muscles and bonesand maintains healthy joints, so that your body will respond to

your commands.

Energy, stamina: A regular exercise program, rather thanexhausting you , gives you more energy and staying-power

not only physically but also mentally and emotionally. Mo bi l ity: Exercise helps keep you moving. The ability tomove about is critical for living independently and remaining

able to do what you want, when you want.

Safety: Exercise keeps your reflexes alert and your musclesready to respond so you might avoid, and recover quickly from

accidents, falls, injuries, and illnesses.

Disease t rea tment and prevent ion: Exercise can helpprevent or treat many diseases such s stroke, heart disease,diabetes, cancer, arthritis, and osteoporosis. Check with your

doctor to make sure exercise is right for you.

Weight contro l: Exercise not only burns calories, it alsotunes up your metabolism to better use nutrients. Studies show

that, in the long run, exercise may be even more effective that

diet in weight loss. In addition, exercise helps you look better,

regardless of how much you weigh.

Att i tude: The feeling of being fit and frisky that comes fromregular exercise goes a long way toward imparting a strongsense of well-being, a positive outlook, and a feeling of can-

do confidence.

Emotional resi l ience, psychological balance: Ever feel sofrustrated or angry you just want to punch the wall or run the

other way? Channel that impulse into exercise. Exercise is a

great way to cool off and get a grip when youre stressed out.

Mental a ler tness: As is evident in any heatedbasketball game, tennis match, or dance

performance, exercise tunes up your reflexes, reaction time,

and ability to process information. Exercise helps you wake up

in the morning and stay awake until bedtime. This effect applies

to both physical and mental tasks.

Flexibi l i ty: Exercise helps you bend and stretch and avoidstrains and stiffness.

Most of us know that smoking can cause serious health problems and even

death; but according to the latest Surgeon Generals report, even occasional

smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke can cause immediate damage to

the body and can lead to serious illness or death. According to U.S. Surgeon

General Regina Benjamin, Inhaling even the smallest amount of tobacco

smoke can cause damage to the DNA, which can lead to cancer. Tobacco

smoke contains a deadly mixture of more than 7,000 chemicals and

compounds, of which hundreds are toxic and 70 are known to cause cancer.

Smoking causes

more than 85% of

lung cancers and

can cause canceranywhere in the

body. One in

three cancer

deaths is tobacco

related.

The good news

is its never too

late to become a

nonsmoker and

the sooner the

better! Quitting at

any time gives the

body a chance to

heal the damage

caused by

smoking. There

are manyresources

available to help

people quit

smoking or using

other tobacco

products. Many

insurance plans

and companies

offer programs to

help their

employees quit

smoking. Kentuckys Medicaid recipients can now receive assistance with

nicotine replacement therapy and tobacco cessation medications. Smokers

can also call the Kentucky Tobacco Quit Line at 1-800-QUIT-NOW.

Healthy Bodies Need

Healthy TeethDental health is very important to an individ-

uals overall health status. It is important to getchildren off to the right start and teach them how totake good care of their teeth. The AmericanAcademy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends achilds first dental visit before 12 months of age. Byage 3 the average child already has 3 decayedteeth, which is the reason for this recommenda-tion. Untreated cavities in baby teeth can causepain, and can jeopardize the health of the already-forming adult teeth. Here are a few tips for how toeducate your children about the dentist and

promote good health.

1. Be positive and honest. When talking to yourchild about the dentist, use positive language.Dont say, It wont hurt. Kids probably wont thinkof a visit to the dentist as a negative experienceunless the issue of pain is discussed. Talk to kidsin a positive, honest way and use words they canunderstand. Remember, dentistry today is easy forchildren, especially compared to 20 years ago.

2. Dont transfer your fears about the dentist to your children. Too often adults who fear the dentistwill tell horror stories about their own experiences. If you are afraid of the dentist, try not to share your fearswith your children. A child who goes to the dentist without any preconceived notions is more likely to have agood experience.

3. Talk about oral health as a routine part of taking care of yourself, just like going to the doctor.Going to the dentist is part of being healthy. Preventative measures taken from a childs first visit to thedentist will help ensure that the child has healthy teeth and gums for the rest of his or her life.

4. Set a good example. From the time they are toddlers, parents should brush and floss with theirchildren. Kids often imitate the good (and bad) habits of their parents, and if brushing and flossing areactivities parents do on a regular basis, children are more likely to continue such good behavior as theygrow up.

5. Never threaten children with pulled teeth or other dental procedures. If you are having a hardtime getting your kids to brush their teeth, dont threaten them with frightening dental procedures suchas having a tooth pulled. Instead, teach your children why oral health is an important part of overallphysical health.

6. Dont make a big deal out of going to the dentist. Talk about the dentist as something thatsnecessary but not a big deal.

7. Let the dentist do the talking. If you dont feel comfortable explaining what happens at the dentist oryou are afraid of the dentist, let the dentist speak to your child.

8. Use other educational materials such as books and videos. There are many childrens booksand videos available to help you teach your kids about the importance of brushing, flossing, and visitingthe dentist.

9. Bring kids to the dentist early and let them watch you or an older sibling have their teethcleaned. The earlier you start dental visits, the more comfortable children will feel. This allows the child tosee the process and understand that it is not a painful experience.

10. Make a game of brushing. Find ways to make brushing fun for your children. For example, play yourchilds favorite song while he is brushing his teeth and tell him that he should brush until the song ends.Games help children to associate positive feelings with brushing, as well as teach children to brush theirteeth for at least two minutes

12 Tips To

Help You

Lose Weightand

Keep It Off1. Keep a journal of what you eat.

Record the amount you eat,

where you eat, and what you are

doing when you eat.

2. Drink plenty of water.Drinking at

least eight glasses of water each

day helps your body to break

down fat and decrease your

appetite.

3. Eat slowly.Give your body time

to tell that it is full. Take a break

after you have eaten about half ofyour meal.

4. Eat smaller portions.Know how much you are eating. It is easier to see how

many crackers you are eating if they come out of a bowl you counted them into

rather than out of a box.

5. Reduce meal time distractions.It is easy to lose track of how much you are

eating when you are watching television.

6. Make problem foods unavailable.If you have a hard time staying away from ice

cream, do not have it in the house. If you buy cookies for the kids, try buying a

brand you do not like. If necessary, have someone else do the shopping.7. Make healthy, low fat foods easily available and attractive.If you like vegetables

but do not like the prep work, buy them already pre-washed and cut up.

8. Trade a bad habit for a good one.If you have a tendency to munch while

watching television, try riding a stationary bike while watching it. Be on the

lookout for situations that trigger bad eating habits and change or avoid them.

9. Lose weight gradually.Although quick weight loss seems like a good idea, losing

weight too quickly can mean gaining it back quickly. Weight loss should be

gradual. A half-pound to two pounds per week is a healthy weight loss goal.

10. Do not skip meals.When you do not eat, your body thinks that there is a famine,and it slows down the rate that it burns calories to compensate for the lack of

food. This makes your body actually work harder to store fat.

11. When shopping, plan ahead.Only buy what is on your list. Shop when you are

full and look for low-fat alternatives to typical high-fat choices.

12. Exercise frequently.A weight loss program is most successful when accom-

panied by an exercise program. As little as 20-30 minutes of activity three to four

times a week can really make a difference.

What Is Asthma?

Asthma is a condition that affects a persons airways. For most people, breathing is simple:They breathe in through their noses or mouths and the air goes into the windpipe. From there, ittravels through the airways and into the lungs. For individuals with asthma, breathing can be a lotmore difficult because their airways are very sensitive. When exposed to allergens, a personsairways get swollen and narrower and begin to produce extra mucous. A person having an asthmaattack may wheeze, cough or feel tightness in the chest. This is because they can get air into theirlungs, but cant get the air out of the lungs.

What Can Trigger an Asthma Attack?Common asthma triggers include dust mites, mold, and pollen. Other triggers include dog and

cat dander, items with strong scents, such as perfume, and cigarette smoke. Asthma flare-ups canalso be caused by colds, sinus infections, and cold weather. In fact, some people have whats called

exercise-induced asthma. This means they have breathing problems mainly when they exercise.However, with a good treatment plan, even people who have asthma can continue to exercise.

How Is Asthma Treated?As much as possible, avoid the triggers that cause your airways to tighten up. However, not all

allergens can be avoided, so many asthmatics take medication to keep their lungs healthy.

What Do I Do if I Think I Have Asthma?If you think you have asthma, you should see your doctor. Only a qualified physician can

diagnose and treat asthma.

Eat More Fruits and Veggies

for a Healthier 2011 4. Have at least one fruit serving with each meal.Its easy. For instance, have a banana or strawberries on cereal, a piece of

fresh fruit with your lunch and/or as a snack and a fruit serving with dinner. (If you dont feel like cooking a vegetable or making a salad, slice up some cantaloupe or honeydew melon.)

5. If youre in the dessert habit, trysubstituting fruit, served in a creative

way, in place of at least three deserts aweek.For instance, try an apple bakedwith some cinnamon and a few raisins, abowl of fresh, juicy mixed berries, or a bigserving of fruit on top of a small serving offrozen yogurt or angel food cake.

6. Experiment with nonfat flavorings.Sprinkle nutmeg and lemon juice onspinach or broccoli, dill week and Dijon-style mustard on green beans or carrots,

and basil on tomatoes.

7. Go vegetarian once or twice a weekfor dinner.Dried beans, nuts, or seedsmake a great alternative to meats.

8. Combine vegetables with tastybroths and juices.Green beans cookedin chicken broth, summer squash intomato juice, and carrots or beets in fruitjuice are flavorful and need no added fat.

9. Instead of a bowl of candy on yourdesk, keep a bowl of fruit to remedythat afternoon energy slump.

10. Keep chopped, ready to eatvegetables in the refrigerator.If theyare easy to get and easy to eat, you willbe more likely to choose them instead ofthat bag of chips.

What can you doto lower your risk ofheart disease,diabetes, andcancer all at thesame time? Theanswer: eat morefruits and vegetables.However, most of usdont eat enough ofthem. Currently, only 10%of children and 25% ofadults eat the recommendedquantities. Fruits and vegetablesprovide a wide range of nutrientsincluding vitamins A and C, potassium,fiber, as well as phytochemicals which

have many positive health benefits.They are also very low in calories andcan help with weight control.

Eating more fruits and vegetablesdoesnt have to be difficult. Try some ifthese ideas to get more into your dieteach day.

1. Be adventurous!Try at least onenew vegetable or fruit each week. Letyour children pick out a new fruit or

veggie from the grocery store to try.They will be much more likely to eat it ifthey choose it themselves!

2. Eat more meal salads. Use alarge salad as the base, but throw inmeat condiments several ounces ofcooked chicken, turkey, tuna or somelow-fat cheese and/or legumes. Addwarm bread, and youve got a completemeal.

3. Take advantage of ready-made bagsalads.These are great when youre ina rush or feeling tired. Look for freshingredients, and add a low-fat or fat-free dressing. Experiment with some ofthe darker greens, like Romaine, kale,and leaf lettucetheyre tastier andmore nutritious.

Give Your Baby

the Healthiest

Start...

BREASTFEEDBREASTFEEDBREASTFEEDOne of the best things we can do for the health of our children and for

future generations is to encourage breastfeeding. Breastfeeding offers multiple

benefits for both mom and baby and can create a bond that will last a lifetime.

Benefits for baby include:

Stronger immune system. Infants who are breastfed are less likely to suffer

from respiratory problems, ear infections, and diarrhea. Exclusive

breastfeeding for the first six months offers the most protection.

Lower risk of developing food and respiratory allergies.

Higher IQs

Lower risk of obesity later in life

May protect baby from developing type 1 diabetes

May lower babys risk of SIDS

May protect baby from some types of leukemia

Benefits for Mom:

Helps mother shed pregnancy pounds more quickly

May help decrease risk of breast and ovarian cancer

May protect against osteoporosis later in life

Lowers stress levels and less postpartum bleeding

Besides the health benefits, breast milk is also more beneficial than

formula feeding because of the economic savings. It is estimated that

breastfeeding saves a family about $300 per month. This is due to the high

cost of formula as well as fewer doctor office visits compared to formula fed

babies who tend to get sick more often.
