5 ¢ENTS WORTH by Grant Nichols It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist

“Deliberative”-by Bob Perry

There are numerous ways to get agree-ment, and one theory of doing so is through ‘deliberative conversationalism’. The means used include deliberation, communication, consensus, community and transformative change. It is clear ‘we the people’ are being experimented upon as the current president has been using the theory to effectively change our country. Sadly the experiment has failed miserably to this point as the conductor of the exper-iment has no track record of any achieve-ment in using it. Not only are ’we the peo-ple’ being experimented upon, the whole world is included. One major issue in this theoretical pro-cess is time and this reinvention of the wheel, so to speak, creates unacceptable delays and, point-in-fact, has given the Ira-nian leaders additional time to prepare for the fi nalization of creating nuclear weap-ons. Any idea that this process will create conversation, deliberation, and consensus leading to transformative change on the part of Iran is virtually non-existent. On the home front we face non-stop delays in decisions being made, effective strategy being formed, lack of enforcing laws currently on the books and a lack of transparency that has shut out the light. Where has there been any effort on the part of the president to be inclusive with all parties that wind up being affected by executive actions and laws such as the Af-fordable Care Act (ACA) (Obamacare). The only apparent consensus has to be among the inner circle which is staffed with academic elites comfortable with theoretical application of ideological po-sitions. Could the conversations being held with the president himself and there is no oppo-sition to positions taken? The introduction of this experiment and the lack of applica-tion of the principles need to be successful may well in the end be the defi ning failure in the legacy of our current president. The way he has dealt with black people, he himself being half-black, is to speak about situations without knowing the pertinent facts and then having conversations with polarizing justice department offi cials and self-proclaimed community leaders. Let’s consider the components of this philosophy and how they have been em-ployed by the president. Starting with conversation, what we have heard is lec-turing from a former college professor which is a one way conversation. Deliber-ation is non inclusive as the other branch-es of government and ‘we the people‘ are trivialized - guaranteed not to be success-

ful. Consensus has never been reached as some affected parties are non-participants in any conversation and decision making. Being divisive, as a true demagogue is, the president has never created commu-nity with and within the black community, with and within Congress, and with and within ‘we the people’. One could say that what we have acquired as a result of all this, is transformative change. Change that has put us on a fi scal death-spiral, on increased race relations division, on addi-tional grid-lock between the president and Congress, on increased division between the rich and poor, on increased division on illegal vs. illegal immigration, and on all too many being given an excuse to be identifi ed as a ’victim’. To some, this is a success. Bottom line is the application of ‘Deliberative Conversationalism’ has no place in presidential politics. Additional information relating to this include: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1307283h t t p : / / s c h o l a r s h i p . l a w . u p -e n n . e d u / c g i / v i e w c o n t e n t .cgi?article=1085&context=jlasc

This area of the State always gets very cold, snowy and icy during January or February but this year we are experiencing weather so cold that it almost freezes our words as we speak them. At the least, the last couple of weeks has brought suffi cient cold and ice to disrupt local businesses. In addition, the downtown area found itself with large snow mounds along the sidewalks, snow piles so large that people couldn’t open their doors on the passenger side of their cars, or get to the sidewalks from the roadway. Many people simply spent more hours at their homes trying to keep warm. But Valen-tine’s Day weekend seemed to get peo-ple moving again. Cars could be seen in the downtown area, moving along through the blustery, snow fi lled streets. For this week’s photos, we stopped at various restaurants to see how well they had done over the holiday. Interesting-ly, though in past years local vendors haven’t considered Valentine’s Day a good one for business, those we stopped at for our photos tell us that business was brisk. It seems that while business and social activities initially slow down during each new phase of winter as the weather becomes more harsh, people soon make the adjustments necessary and begin to function as normal. Other photos in this issue include those taken of children at the YMCA taking part in school age program, and fi fth grade students waiting for lunch in the cafete-ria at School Street Elementary School. Enjoy…….. The cost of a barrel of oil is beginning to rise again. Is it possi-ble that no one took my suggestion on establishing a moratorium on buy-ing futures in oil on the commodities market? As far as we can see, nothing has really changed with the amount of oil actually available in the U.S. or around the world. If anything there is a greater worldwide glut than ever be-fore because in a manner of speaking, it takes a long time to turn the oil spigot off. So if the price is going up per bar-rel, it must be going up because money is being thrown at futures in the com-modities market. There is no doubt that as liquid assets are freed up from other commitments, large investors will once again begin to invest in oil, buying up futures and driving prices up. While no single investor can insure an upward movement, agreements (like-minded-ness) among a handful of large inves-tors including the big oil companies can drive the prices until we can once again be paying four dollars per gallon for gasoline. ...There will be no Brad-ford Journal next week February 26.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESStarting Roth IRAs For Your Grandkids Many grandparents go above and be-yond to offer fi nancial help to adult chil-dren and grandchildren. If you’re seeking to contribute to your grandkids’ fi nancial future, one option might involve opening a custodial Roth IRA (http://www.irs.gov/Retirement-Plans/Roth-IRAs) on your grandchild’s behalf as soon as he or she starts reporting earned income. While grandparents often fi nd 529 col-lege savings plans advantageous for their personal estate planning as well as sup-porting their grandchild’s educational fu-ture, custodial Roth IRAs (http://www.irs.gov/Retirement-Plans/Roth-IRAs) may allow for more fl exibility depending on the child’s future needs. For example, a young adult may use tax-free Roth IRA proceeds to fund education expenses not covered by savings or a down payment on a fi rst home. Roth IRAs may also be a use-ful and collaborative savings tool for im-portant expenses young adults have, such as continuing education or a down pay-ment on a fi rst home. Unlike traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs are funded with after-tax dollars. That means the account holder doesn’t get a tax break at the time of initial or successive depos-its, but the money grows tax-free and can be withdrawn tax-free – a benefi t for a grandchild who may need a substantial sum in the years to come. Learn more about Roth IRAs by watching this Khan Academy video. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF-x9hDZD7Y) Here’s an example of how much an ini-tial $2,000 deposit in a Roth custodial IRA can grow. For an account opened at the time the child is 16, the $2,000 opening deposit – without any more money added to the account – could be worth roughly $55,000 at the time the child reaches age 65 assuming a 7 percent expected rate of return. What if the child needs to make a tax-free withdrawal sooner, such as at age 35, for example? Based on the same earnings calculation as above, he or she would re-ceive a less impressive sum of roughly $7,200. Of course, it remains a potential solution if there is a severe need for cash. In 2015, the annual contribution limit for all IRAs is $5,500. It is possible, though not that easy, for a minor to open a Roth IRA on his or her own, which is why it’s good for grandparents – or any qualifying friend or relative – to shop for custodial ac-counts with low fees and low investment minimums to start. This is compounded annually. As you evaluate a decision to open a custodial Roth IRA, check with the bro-ker and the account administrator on any institutional or state rules on custodial ac-

counts and what information you’ll need to open one. Depending on those rules, there’s a chance that grandparents may not be able to open the custodial account directly and you will have to work through their parents or legal guardian to get start-ed. Also, consider the following: Make sure you’re fi nancially secure. The MetLife study notes that many grand-parents tend to overextend their fi nancial support when it comes to family members in need. Seek advice from fi nancial, tax and estate professionals on how much you can reasonably afford to give and the best means to do so. Coordinate with your grandchild’s par-ents or guardian. It is important for family members to remain open about all money issues, particularly in relation to minors. Discuss what provisions the parents have made for the child and whether your idea complements fi nancial strategies already in place. If not, keep talking and discuss

other ways you can help. Consider your grandchild’s potential handling of the account. When your grand-children reach legal age or meet other key requirements of the account, they can take control of the money. Will they be ready? If not, evaluate other investment vehicles that better meet your objectives. Bottom line: Setting up a custodial Roth IRA may be a good way for grand-parents and grandchildren to work on re-tirement or other fi nancial goals.

On Sunday, February 8th, the McKean County LiveStock Club met at the residence of Kim Tanner of Smethport. There was one guest Tiffany Tanner, and two members pre-sent. The club met by phone due to John not be-ing able to be present. The American Pledge was done by John Post, and the 4-H Pledge was done by Savanna Tanner. The members discussed their agenda for the year. They will be collecting pop tabs for St. Judes and sending them to the telethon by a 4-H member. They also discussed cleaning up the cem-etery and trying to keep it more presentable, also worked on their window display ideas and will be working on them at the next meet-ing. The members decided on a fundraiser to do. They will use the proceeds from the fun-draiser to make items for Shriner’s Hospital patients in Erie, PA. The members will be doing a scrapbook page of themselves of some fun things they did in 4-H. John Post and Kim are working on a point system for prizes that will be used at the end of the year. Each member was assigned to bring in a picture of themselves for the next meetings’ project. New offi cers will be elected at the next meeting since there were not enough mem-bers present to do it at this meeting. The next meeting is scheduled for March 1st at the residence of Kim Tanner. Anyone interested in joining 4-H please call the Cooperative Extension Offi ce at 887-5613. The meeting was adjourned by John Post at 4:15 pm and was seconded by Savanna Tanner.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEPower Up Throughout The Day With Protein

(Family Features) As the building blocks of life, your body requires protein to function properly. But protein is also an important nutrient for those who wish to stay satisfi ed and full throughout their busy days.

Why protein is essential A vital part of every diet, proteins are made up of a chain of amino acids which work to repair damaged cells and create new ones. According to the National Insti-tutes of Health, the right amount of protein can be found in a well-balanced, complete diet. While sources of protein are often found in meats, eggs and fi sh, they can also be found in a variety of plant-based foods, such as soy, nuts and certain grains. As the average American’s schedule grows busier by the minute, it’s important to know the many convenient sources of protein available.

Fuel the day A successful day at work requires the focus and energy from a complete, bal-anced diet, including the addition of pro-tein sources when possible. Try these tips and meal ideas for fi lling your morning and afternoon meals with smarter, more powerful food picks: * Breakfast. Check one item - having a wholesome morning meal - off your list of things to do each and every day. Perfect for those rushed, on-the-go mornings, opt for a protein-packed smoothie. Available in many fl avorful varieties, they’re easy to throw in your bag and enjoy as you com-mute. * Snack. A satisfying snack is one that will keep energy levels up and carry you over to your next meal. Some smart and satisfying options include Premier Protein 30g Bars and Fiber Bars. They are gluten-free and a good source of fi ber, available in a variety of fl avors and offer up to 30 grams of protein per bar. Keep them on hand in your desk or computer bag so you’re always able to snack whenever hunger hits. For more satisfying snacks, visit www.premierprotein.com. * Lunch. Amp up the protein on your turkey sandwich by replacing mayo and mustard with hummus, and use high-pro-tein bread instead of regular whole wheat. For salads, add sliced hard boiled eggs

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: It seems like more and more people are trying Tai Chi. Does this kind of slow exercise really have any health benefi ts? A: Tai Chi (pronounced tie-chee), which originated in China as a martial art, is today practiced mostly as an exercise to promote balance and healing. Both Tai Chi and a similar activity called Qigong (pronounced chee-gung) include slow, fl owing, dance-like motions and may also include sitting or standing meditation postures. These practices are often referred to as “moving meditation,” because as participants slowly move through the poses, they also focus on deep breathing and mental awareness. A review of 67 randomized controlled trials of Tai Chi or Qigong concluded that these activities showed benefi ts after 8 to 12 weeks for heart health (especially blood pressure), bone health and balance (especially among those who were sedentary or at risk of falls). This analysis found the evidence for help with weight control inconclu-sive. The greatest overall benefi t is seen when comparing those who practice Tai Chi or Qigong to people who are sedentary or do stretching exercise only. Research is currently looking at how these gentle types of activity may benefi t those who have obstacles to more demanding exercise, including people with osteoarthritis (the most common form of arthritis) of the knee and some cancer survivors. An analy-sis of studies on knee osteoarthritis shows short-term benefi ts reducing pain and stiff-ness and improving physical functioning. Studies of Tai Chi for cancer survivors so far have been small, but suggest improvements in anxiety, depression and fatigue. Physi-cal benefi t may vary with length of program, initial level of fi tness and other factors.

and chickpeas. For a sweet power-packed side, try cottage cheese topped with sliced peaches or Greek yogurt topped with fresh blueberries. * Post-workout fuel. Whether you ex-ercise in the morning or after a long day at the offi ce, give your body the fuel it needs to recover. A rich and creamy Premier Protein Shake, available in chocolate, va-

nilla and strawberries & cream, offers up 30 grams of protein and contains only 160 calories and 1 gram of sugar. Make balanced meals and snack op-tions a part of every day with the various protein-packed sources available. No mat-ter what your social or work life demands, there are always simple ways to help you stay balanced, fueled and healthy.

Three Steps to Protect Your Pets (SPM Wire) Your pet is part of the fam-ily. So when it comes to disaster prepared-ness, keeping pets safe should enter into the equation. Here are three simple ways pet owners can prepare for emergencies and prevent accidents: • The American Red Cross recommends taking a Pet First Aid Class to learn such basics as how to administer medicine, treat wounds, care for injuries and prepare for disasters. Whether you’re at home or on the road, these skills can save lives. • Depending on the type of emergency situation you’re faced with, your home may become an unsafe place to stay. Evac-uation plans should include pets. Know in advance if you have friends or family with whom you and your pet can stay. If that’s not possible, keep a list of boarding facili-ties or hotels that accept animal compan-ions. • Ensure toxic chemicals in your home, such as cleaning supplies, are inaccessible to pets. Additionally, be sure any medica-tions are sealed and out of reach of curi-ous paws. If you suspect your pet has con-sumed a poisonous substance, contact the ASPCA poison hotline at (888) 426-4435. The hotline operates 24 hours a day. With a little knowledge and prepara-tion, you can be a more responsible pet owner.

5 Safety Tips For Women Traveling AloneA Few Precautions Help Reduce Risks So You Can Focus On Fun, Globetrotting Author Says

Perhaps more than ever, women are willing to ditch their traveling compan-ions and go solo when it comes time to hit the road and see the world. A survey by Small Luxury Hotels of the World, for example, revealed that between 2011 and 2012 there was a 53 percent in-crease in the demand for rooms by women traveling alone. The London Daily Mail also reports that some hotels have taken steps to make their accommodations more appealing to women traveling on their own, with such features as women-only fl oors. Still, despite the trend, many women may worry that such solitary excursions carry too many risks, making them a tar-get for thieves, kidnappers and other crim-inals. But one woman who has logged end-less miles exploring the world and fi nding romance says it doesn’t have to be that way. “There is no reason to let your fears keep you from the adventures you can ex-perience,” says Barbara Foster, a veteran globetrotter and author of the book “The Confessions of a Librarian: A Memoir of Loves.” (www.threelovestory.com)

“Sure, there are risky places and bad types out there. But with the right precau-tions, women can travel solo with confi -dence, visiting the places and meeting the people they always dreamed of and re-turning home with wonderful stories and memories.” Foster speaks from experience. Her travels have taken her across the country and around the world, with stops in Istan-bul, Bombay, Buenos Aires, Jerusalem and other locales. As an adventurer, Foster is something of a contradiction. She describes herself as a librarian who has diffi culty reading fl ight schedules, and suspects a haggling merchant in an Arab bazaar would view her as easy pickings. He would be mistaken. While Foster has spent a professional lifetime in academia, and co-authored books on such esoteric subjects as Tibetan Buddhism, she also is steeped in real-life experience. Foster, who says solo trips can be deep-ly rewarding for women, offers fi ve tips for traveling boldly while staying safe. • Steer clear of the most dangerous lo-cales. Simply put, some places just aren’t worth the risk, so avoid “no go” neighbor-hoods, cities and countries. For example, if you feel compelled to go to the Middle East, visit Israel, which is the safest Mid-dle Eastern country. Still, if the destina-tion is truly important to you, go ahead and take the risk. India can be dangerous and Foster says she was nearly kidnapped there, saved only by the intervention of a librarian friend. At the same time, she says, the country offers a once in a life-time experience. • Connect with friendly contacts. Make yourself known not only to the U.S. em-bassy or consul, but also to people in your fi eld, Foster says. During her travels, Fos-ter wrote articles about libraries she visit-ed. Her fellow librarians were a protective group. • Learn the language or at least useful phrases. Even if it’s just a few key words, speaking the language can come in handy if you need to seek assistance. Under-standing what others are saying also can alert you to potential dangers. • Dress wisely, pay attention to man-ners and spend money in moderation. Es-sentially, don’t draw unnecessary attention to yourself. In her book, Foster recounts a visit to Istanbul where she watched hor-ror-struck as two Turkish men slapped a young British woman for wearing a mini-skirt on the street. For added protection against thieves, Foster recommends car-

rying money and identifi cation in a pouch under your shirt. • Travel in the USA. You will miss many of the world’s must-see places, but if the thought of traveling abroad holds too much stress for you, it might be better to stick closer to home. Foster says two of her favorite U.S. cities are New York and New Orleans, both great places to explore. About Barbara Foster Barbara Foster has worked as a college librarian and as an associate professor spe-cializing in Women’s Studies at the City University of New York. She has pub-lished numerous articles on education and travel, as well as more than 200 poems in literary journals under the name Belladon-na. Her latest book is “The Confessions of a Librarian: A Memoir of Loves.” (www.threelovestory.com)

How To Protect Children During A Measles Outbreak (StatePoint) A measles outbreak that began in late 2014 in California has since spread to multiple states. Most of those who have gotten sick from this highly infectious disease were not vaccinated against measles. Experts are calling the current outbreak an important reminder to vaccinate chil-dren fully against the disease. “Vaccines are one of the most impor-tant ways parents can protect their chil-dren from measles and other diseases,” says Sandra Hassink, MD, FAAP, presi-dent of the American Academy of Pediat-rics (AAP). “The measles vaccine is safe, necessary and effective.” The AAP is offering some fast facts about measles and the measles vaccine. • Measles is a highly contagious respir-atory disease that spreads easily through

the air or on infected surfaces. It causes rash, high fever, cough, runny nose and red watery eyes. In rare cases it can cause encephalitis that can lead to deafness or

mental retardation. Of every 1,000 people who get measles, one or two will die. • The AAP, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American Academy of Family Physicians all recom-mend children receive the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine at age 12-15 months, and again at four to six years old. • It’s best to protect children with MMR vaccine as soon as they are old enough to receive it. Delaying vaccination leaves children vulnerable to measles for a long-er period of time. Vaccinating on time also protects other children in the community, including infants younger than 12 months who cannot be vaccinated and are most susceptible to serious illness, hospitaliza-tion and death due to measles. • Getting the measles vaccine is much safer than getting the measles infection. Like any medicine, the vaccine is capable of causing side effects but usually these are mild, such as pain or swelling at the injection site and a fever that lasts a day or two. The risk of the measles vaccine caus-ing serious harm is extremely small. • If you are not sure if you or your chil-dren have been fully vaccinated against measles, talk with your doctor to see if anyone in your family needs to be vac-cinated. There is no risk in receiving the measles vaccine if you have been immu-nized before. Your pediatrician is your best source of advice on vaccinations. More information about the measles and the measles vaccine can be found by talking with your pediatrician and by vis-iting www.healthychildren.org. When it comes to your children’s health, take control when and where you can. Experts agree that a great place to start is by ensuring your children receive the measles vaccine, as well as the full range of vaccines recommended by your pediatrician.

What to Know Before Bringing Home An Adopted Dog (StatePoint) Dogs play a special role in a home, bringing laughter, love and warmth. But dog ownership comes with great responsibility and there are certain things to consider before beginning the adoption process. Getting Your Home Ready Just as a home needs to be prepped for the arrival of a new baby, you must also make preparations for dog adoption. In fact, many shelters will even check wheth-er your home is suitable for dog ownership with a site visit before approving your ap-plication. If you’re a homeowner, be sure to take steps to make your home more dog-friend-ly. Decide in advance which rooms of the house your dog will be allowed to enter. Baby gates may be an option and work well as barriers for dogs. Have all the nec-essary items for your dog ready for his or her arrival like a leash, collar, crate and toys. Areas of the home that contain danger-ous substances should also be safeguard-ed. For example, medications and clean-ing supplies should be stored securely. If you’ve never owned a dog before, you may not have paid much attention to your neighborhood’s dog parks, trails and walkable routes. Study these locations in advance so there are no questions on day one. Where to Adopt Between six and eight million cats and dogs enter shelters each year, and 2.7 mil-lion adoptable cats and dogs are eutha-nized in such shelters annually, according to the Humane Society. Rather than buy-ing a dog from a breeder, check out your local animal shelter. Adoption has become the preferred way to fi nd a new dog, puppy, cat or kit-ten,” says Abbie Moore, Executive Direc-tor, Adopt-a-Pet.com. “Not only is this of-ten a more affordable route, but you are saving a life in the process.” Fortunately, campaigns can raise

awareness about this issue and help dogs and families fi nd each other. For example, Coldwell Banker Real Estate has partnered with Adopt-a-Pet.com for the “Homes for Dogs Project” which aims to fi nd homes for 20,000 dogs in 2015. The company will engage its network of 87,000 sales associates to help adoptable dogs fi nd homes in their communities through a va-riety of tactics, including hosting adoption days by partnering with local shelters in the Adopt-a-Pet.com network. To learn more about how you can help make the adoption goal a reality, visit www.coldwellbanker.com/dogs. Other Considerations You should already have identifi ed the veterinarian you plan to use before taking your dog home, as a dog’s medical care should begin immediately after adoption. Remember to budget for dog owner-ship. Beyond regular supplies, food vac-cinations and check-ups, add in some pad-ding as an emergency fund. As every dog lover knows, there is nothing quite like coming home after a long day and being greeted by man’s best friend. With a dog adoption, you can make your home an even more welcoming, com-fortable place.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate has joined with Adopt-a-Pet.com to find homes for 20,000 dogs in 2015.

Tips To Manage Pain From Arthritis Naturally (StatePoint) One in fi ve adults in the United States now reports having doctor-diagnosed arthritis, according to the Cent-ers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). For those living with the chronic pain of this disease, learning how to man-age arthritis is crucial to the health and happiness of millions of Americans. With that in mind, here are several natural ways to reduce complications and pain associated with arthritis: • Those who are overweight or obese are diagnosed with an arthritis symptom more often than those with a lower body mass index, according to CDC statistics. Take a load off your joints by maintain-ing a healthy weight. Weight loss has also been linked to less pain from arthritis, es-

pecially in the knees, which bear the brunt of excess pounds. • Evidence indicates that both endur-ance and resistance exercise can provide signifi cant benefi ts to those with osteoar-thritis, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. However, arthritis patients should typically avoid placing too much pressure on joints. Low-impact exercises such as biking, swim-ming and walking are recommended treat-ments for arthritis. A doctor or physical therapist is a good resource for helping you make a fi tness game plan. • No matter what precautions you take, pain from your condition is sometimes in-evitable. And when it’s severe, it can be debilitating.

Some arthritis medications mask pain, which may make it harder to gauge the status of your condition. A homeopathic medicine, however, works naturally with your body to ease suffering from arthritis pain. “Joint pains are common in my prac-tice so I often recommend Arnicare Ar-thritis Tablets,” says Dr. Albert Levy of Manhattan Family Practice in New York City (Manhattanfamilypractice.com). “I feel confi dent in recommending it because it won’t interfere with other medications and homeopathic medicines, such as this, are one of the safest classes of drugs.” Arnicare Arthritis Tablets are quick-dissolving homeopathic tablets that re-lieve minor aches and pains associated with arthritis, specifi cally from stiff or swollen joints and fl are-ups caused by changes in weather. They can be a good option for those with multiple conditions. More information can be found at www.Arnicare.com. • Stiff joints can be painful. Stretch reg-ularly to prevent stiffness. Full range of motion exercises can help you stay limber and maintain function. Arthritis actually refers to more than 100 different kinds of musculoskeletal disorders that affect people of all ages. If you’re one of the millions of Americans suffering from arthritis, take natural steps to prevent and manage the pain associated with your condition.

Tips to Prevent Slips and Falls in Your Bathroom (StatePoint) Roughly 234,000 injuries occur in the bathroom annually, accord-ing to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And while children and adults over 70 are most at risk, more than half of all injuries involve people between ages 25 and 64. A few safety prevention measures can make your bathroom safer: • Grab bars: Gripping things like show-er doors or towel bars can lead to injury. Reduce your risk of failing in the tub or shower by installing a grab bar. • Seats: For those with balance con-cerns, a seat, chair or bench in the shower can be a good idea, as shower fl oors can become particularly slick. Also, remem-ber to use a shower mat. • Toilet safety: Elevated toilet seats can help those with mobility issues ease onto the seat. Safety bars are another smart ad-dition. If aesthetics are a priority, check out manufacturers who put a premium on de-sign, and whose products meet American with Disability Act safety requirements.

For example, Moen Home Care offers safety fi xtures in varying styles and fi n-ishes like chrome, brushed nickel and old world bronze. More information can be found at www.Moen.com/homecare. With a few additions to your bath-rooms, you can make them serene, stylish and safe.

FAMILY FEATURES

Despite the many benefits of having information at your fingertips, smartphones and tablets

can do damage to your body and overall health in unexpected ways.

You may not realize it, but all that time spent with your head down checking email and texting

may be creating more than a social gap — you may also be harming your spine. Research

suggests that spinal pressure actually doubles with each inch you bend your head down.

Smartphone users spend an average of two to four hours per day hunched over, says Kenneth

Hansraj, chief of spine surgery at New York Spine Surgery & Rehabilitation Medicine, in his

recent report for Surgical Technology International. As a result, back and neck pain have

increased among users of electronic gadgets, and the effects may linger for years.

“Poor posture is easy to spot in the hunched over forms of older adults who have carried bad

habits for a lifetime,” said Stephen Gubernick, Doctor of Chiropractic at The Joint Chiropractic.

“However, few people realize that there are health implications that make good posture essential

for healthy living at any age.”

Dr. Gubernick explained that a misalignment of your spine can affect your overall health and

well-being. Your spine protects your nervous system, which controls and coordinates all the

different functions of your body. Any disruption in nerve communication to your organs and

tissues may result in abnormal function. “There are countless benefits from simply improving

the alignment of the spine,” he added.

Poor posture negatively impacts your muscles and ligaments, as well as your spine, which can

lead to a host of health problems ranging from neck and back pain to gastrointestinal problems

and even hyperkyphosis — a condition in which the spine curvature is significantly exaggerated,

with increased risk of pulmonary and arterial health problems.

When posture or other factors cause a misalignment, a spinal adjustment is one way to help

restore normal nerve function and communication, thereby allowing your body to work normally

and naturally.

In addition to recommending exercises that strengthen your core postural muscles in an effort

to sustain and improve posture, a chiropractor can also assist you with identifying proper posture

techniques to use during daily activities that help reduce the risk of injury.

What to Expect When You Visit the ChiropractorIf you’ve never visited a chiropractor before, you may find yourself intimidated by the unknown.Take heart, you’re not alone. According to The Joint ... the chiropractic place, the following areanswers to some patients’ most common questions:

Do I need an appointment? You will most likely need an appointment at traditionalchiropractic clinics but not at The Joint where chiropractors are available on a walk-in basis,including during evening and weekend hours.

What will happen during the visit? After a full exam and consultation, you will beadjusted on a comfortably cushioned adjustment table. You will remain fully clothed for theduration of your visit, so wear non-restrictive clothing to make it easier to rest comfortably whilelying down on the table.

How long will my visit take? You should plan around 20 minutes for your first visit,though follow-up visits can take as few as five minutes or so. At the end of your visit, yourdoctor will determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs.

Will I experience side effects? Although chiropractic is a proven safe and effectivetreatment, you might experience side effects after your first visit, such as headaches, fatigue andsoreness. Side effects from chiropractic care typically are mild and disappear within 24 hours.

What will it cost? Many insurance plans cover a limited number of chiropractic visits.Average appointment costs may range anywhere from $40 to $125 per session, and no-insuranceclinics, such as The Joint, offer affordable plans and packages that eliminate the need forinsurance.

Why Posture MattersThere are many benefits to practicing good posture. According to the American Chiropractic Association, keeping your spine aligned properly:

Maintaining Good PostureDitching your smartphone probably isn’t a practical solution for improving your posture, soinstead work to keep your posture in check with these tips:

� Ensures bones and joints are correctlyaligned. This helps the muscles to beused properly, diminishing the abnormalwear which can cause degenerativearthritis and joint pain.

� Places less stress on the ligaments whichlink the spinal joints, decreasing thechance of injury.

� Creates efficiency within themuscle groups, helping thebody use less energy andavoid fatigue.

� Reduces the likelihood ofback and muscular pain,overuse disorders andmuscle strain.

� To protect your posture while using yourphone and other electronic devices, avoidangling your head down for prolongedperiods. Raise the device closer to eyelevel, or use a stand to prop the screen.

� Treat back and neck pain, which maysignal a posture problem or worsen poorposture habits, with regular chiropracticadjustments to keep your body balancedand flexible.

� When sitting, avoid crossing your legs andkeep your knees at or below hip level. Usea back pillow to support your lower andmiddle back. Relax your shoulders andavoid sitting in the same position forextended periods of time.

� While standing, keep your feet shoulderwidth apart and your knees slightly bent.Stand straight with your shoulders pulledback and your stomach tucked in.

Easy, Delicious Meals That Make Hearts Happy (Family Features) Did you know that small, positive additions to your diet and lifestyle can help promote a healthier heart? Instead of denying yourself the de-licious fl avors you crave, try weaving a few subtle changes into your menu and you can healthfully and conveniently meet your wellness goals.

Show your heart some love

Besides giving meals a satisfying boost, soy-based foods are a heart-healthy addi-tion to your diet. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a diet containing 25 grams of soy protein per day, accompanying other foods that are low in saturated fats and cholesterol, may decrease the chance of heart disease. “Soy protein is a very high quality pro-tein, equivalent to egg or milk protein,” said Mindy Kurzer, Ph.D. and professor with the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Minnesota. “Soyfoods, such as soymilk, have been shown to lower dietary cholesterol and saturated fat, decreasing blood choles-terol concentrations and improving heart health.”

Sprinkle soy into your diet, easily

Available in many delicious forms, soy-based foods and beverages make the swap towards healthier options a snap. Try some of these meal ideas to help you cut calories, saturated fat and cholesterol from your diet: * Breakfast: Take on the day by enjoy-ing a fruit and soymilk blended smoothie for breakfast. Soymilk is the only plant-based dairy alternative with an average of 7 grams of protein per serving plus cal-cium, potassium, and vitamins A and D. * Lunch: Opt for a juicy veggie burger - easy to cook in just a few minutes. Or try this fl avorful recipe for Tuna Edama-me Salad, which allows you to take in all the healthy benefi ts of these young green soybeans with a quick and easy lunch. Did you know one cup of edamame contains 17 grams of protein? * Snack: Throw a protein-packed nutri-tion bar in your car, bag or purse so you can have a healthy snack while running er-rands. (But read the label to make sure it contains soy protein and isn’t loaded with sugar.) * Dinner: Load up on vegetables and protein with a tasty and easy stir fry using marinated tofu strips. Or cholesterol-free soy “crumbles” can quickly and easily be added to favorites including pasta sauce, soup, chili and tacos. To fi nd more recipes featuring soy pro-tein, visit www.soyfoods.org or www.soyconnection.com
