By Nikki AckermanStaff Writer Tracey Weninger of West Bend, surgery RN, has been recognized

with Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin St. Joseph’sHospital’s DAISYaward for her extraordinary care. Melissa Ratzmer,who was impressed with the care she received from Tracey, nominatedher for the award.

Ratzmer, of Jackson, went through one of the “darkest moments of her life” Jan. 15, 2015, when she was rushed to St. Joseph’s HospitalEmergency Department due to serious pregnancy complications. “Ihave never been so scared, sad and heartbroken as I was when I wentin to the operating room for my D&C” (dilation and curettage), saidRatzmer. “I was continuously and uncontrollably crying. I no longerhad my husband by my side. I felt alone, like it was me against theworld. I, to this day, have never felt so much compassion from one

person. As I lay on that table,scared out of my mind and feelingcompletely empty inside, she gaveme strength and courage. Thank you for being such an exceptionalnurse.”

The DAISY Foundation, anacronym for Diseases Attackingthe Immune System, recognizesnurses as unsung heroes of oursociety who deserve morerecognition and honor than theyreceive. More than 1,000 hospitalsthroughout the United Statesparticipate in The DAISY Award

program.The DAISY Foundationprovides each recipient with asculpture, “AHealer’s Touch,” thatis hand-carved for the foundationby artists of the Shona Tribe inZimbabwe. The sculpture is madeof Serpentine stone that comesfrom the mountains “where themost powerful shaman” live inZimbabwe. The foundation chosethis design not only because itdepicts the relationship nurses havewith their patients, but alsobecause the Shona people hold

their healers in a position of greatimportance to the community and

feel about their healers the way The DAISY Foundation and SJoseph’s Hospital feel about nurses.Weninger was honored at a recent ceremony at the hospital a

which she received a certificate, pin and the sculpture. Unit staff weralso treated to Cinnabons in accordance with the DAISY tradition.

Food choices the whole family can feel good about(Family Features) As you gear up for a new school year, it’s

important to put your kids’ nutrition on the school checklist.Countless studies link school performance and healthy eating habits.Treat this season of “academic beginnings” as a chance for the wholefamily to take a fresh approach to better-for-you eating.

From on-the-go breakfasts and brag-worthy brown bag lunchesto after-school snacks and family-friendly dinners, there are plenty of ways to pack nutrition and flavor into every meal. Often, creatinghealthier meals can be as easy as simply trading-up or swapping onefood ingredient for a more nutritious choice.

Selecting menu options that help your family eat better begins atthe grocery store with your shopping decisions. If the A-B-Cs and 1-2-3s of food labels make your head spin, you can rely on tools suchas the NuVal® Nutritional Scoring System, which provides scoresnear the price on the shelf tag to identify better-for-you foods. Basedon a scale of 1 to 100, the scores rank foods and beverages on theirnutritional content with the most nutritious choices scoring highest.

You can take other steps to make shopping easier for healthyeating, says Marisa Paolillo, a nutritionist with NuVal.

First and foremost, she says, don’t go when you’re hungry. “Itreally is true. If you shop hungry, you’re more likely to toss foods into

your cart that will satisfy the hunger pangs at the moment, rather thanwhat you actually need for the week ahead,” she adds.

Another smart shopping tip is to plan, plan, plan. Paolillo suggestsstarting out right by planning a full week’s worth of menus, thencreating a shopping list. This not only streamlines meal preparation,it saves household budget, aids nutrition choices and reduces thefrustration and extra time associated with return trips to the store.

1. Determine what you will serve for breakfasts, lunches, snackand dinners.

2. Create a grocery list of food ingredients that are needed.3. Don’t forget to check specials and coupons in your store’weekly circular. (Consider swapping listed ingredients for seasonaor on-sale foods.)

“Taking a list to the grocery store will ensure that you stick to youbudget and only buy what you need,” says Paolillo.

If you’re pressed for time and on a spur-of-the-moment shoppinrun, however, keep these better-for-you food basics in mindConsider these:

• Breakfast: Scrambled eggs are a quick and easy breakfast —but hardboiled eggs are a great option for an on-the-go snack.

• Mid-Day Snack: Get a quick protein and calcium boost durinthe day with cottage cheese or plain yogurt with fruit or granola.

• Lunch and Dinner: Make sure to include vegetables in all meals• On-the-Go Snack: Fruit like apples, bananas, tangerines and

pears are perfectly portable for on-the-go ease.

• Dinner: Round out your day with lean protein at dinner, such apoultry or fish seasoned with herbs.

Paolillo offers some final healthy eating, back-to-school shoppintips. Take advantage of in-store nutritional scoring systems oservices to help guide food choices, and make the majority of foodselections from the outer perimeter of the store.

“Think produce, dairy, fish and meat,” Paolillo says. “This wilensure that most of your food choices are more nutrient-packed andfresh, versus heavily processed foods that tend to be loaded withadditional sugar, salt and fat.”

(Family Features) Which health screenings and exams are toppriorities for you? If you’re like most adults, monitoring your weight,cholesterol, and blood pressure is probably part of your health careroutine. But what about vision care?

When adults reach their 40s, they often start to notice smallchanges in their vision, which can impact their daily lives and job

performance. Whether having difficulty reading a book or workingon a computer screen, such changes can be frustrating, but they canoften be addressed by an eye care professional.

A comprehensive dilated eye exam is the best way to detectdiseases and conditions that can cause vision loss and blindness.That’s because many have no symptoms in their early stages.

According to the National Eye Institute, all adults aged 60 andolder should have a comprehensive dilated eye exam, with theexception of African Americans, who are advised to get the examsstarting at age 40 due to a higher risk of developing glaucoma at anearlier age. Even if you haven’t experienced any issues with yoursight, a dilated exam can detect serious eye diseases and conditionssuch as age-related macular degeneration, cataract, diabetic eyedisease, and glaucoma.

During a dilated eye exam, your eye care professional placesdrops in your eyes to dilate, or widen, the pupil. This lets more lightenter the eye, similar to the way an open door lets more light into adark room and allows your eye care professional to get a good look at the back of your eyes to examine them for any signs of damage ordisease.

Regular eye exams go a long way in helping you see well for alifetime. But there is more you can do. Experts at the National EyeInstitute recommend following these additional steps to protect your

vision.

1.) Live a healthy lifestyle. Living an overall healthy life is goofor your eyes. This includes:

· Maintaining a healthy weight. Being overweight or obesincreases your risk of developing diabetes and other systemicconditions, which can lead to vision loss from diabetic eye diseaseor glaucoma.

· Eating healthy foods. You’ve heard carrots are good for youeyes, but eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, particularly darkleafy greens such as spinach, kale, or collard greens is important fokeeping your eyes healthy, too. Research has also shown there ar

eye health benefits from eating fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, suchas salmon, tuna, and halibut.· Not smoking. Smoking is as bad for your eyes as it is for the res

of your body. Research has linked smoking to an increased risk odeveloping age-related macular degeneration, cataract and optinerve damage, all of which can lead to blindness.

2.) Know your family history. Talk to your family members aboutheir eye health history. It’s important to know if anyone has beendiagnosed with an eye disease or condition since many arehereditary. This will help to determine if you are at higher risk fodeveloping an eye disease or condition.

3.) Use protective eyewear. Protect your eyes when playinsports, working with hazardous materials, or doing chores likmowing the lawn. Protective eyewear includes safety glasses angoggles, safety shields and eye guards specially designed to providthe correct protection for a certain activity. Most protective eyewea

lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is 10 times stronger thaother plastics. Many eye care providers sell protective eyewear, as dsome sporting goods stores

4.) Wear sunglasses. Sunglasses are a great fashion accessorybut their most important job is to protect your eyes from the sun’ultraviolet rays. When purchasing sunglasses, look for ones thablock out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiationExposure to excess sunlight can increase your risk of cataract andage-related macular degeneration, tissue growth on the white part oeye that can cause discomfort and blurred vision.

You can find more information on these preventive measureand dozens of other vision-related topics at www.nei.nih.gov.

· Don’t add oil: If you have enough water, you won’t need toadd oil to prevent sticking.

· Do stir pasta when you first add it to the water to prevent itfrom sticking together and to the bottom of the pot.

· Don’t throw pasta against the wall. Instead, use the cookingtime on the package as a guide, then try a piece to see if it’s theright texture. Italians like their pasta “al dente” (a little chewy),but you might like it softer.

· Don’t rinse cooked pasta; you’ll rinse away the starch, whichactually helps the sauce stick. Only rinse pasta if it will be usedcold, such as in a salad.

(Family Features) For couples planning a wedding, there isgreater opportunity than ever to weave personal elements intoevery aspect of the big day. Many traditional “rules” of weddingplanning have given way to let couples celebrate as they see fit--even including their four-legged family members and invitingguests to do the same.

Whether you’re a bride whose furry friend will play a leadingrole in the festivities, or a guest bringing your pooch along for the

party, these tips from the pet experts at PetSmart will help ensureyour canine companions join the celebration in comfort and style.

· Put your pet to work. Think ahead about how your pet willparticipate in the fun: as a member of the wedding party, perhapsas ring bearer or flower girl? Give your pet a rehearsal run to besure she’s up for the task.

· Choose a fur kid-friendly venue. If pets are welcome, makesure they’ll also be safe. For instance, avoid freshly fertilizedlawns and plants, as well as flowers that are toxic to pets. Find outwhere your fur babies can go and where they need to be on aleash. If possible, give your pet a few sneak peeks of the location.

· Don’t make pets suffer for fashion. Skip the puppy coutureversion of a tight pair of shoes or an itchy shirt tag, and choose astylish pup-friendly ensemble instead. Made of lightweight,

breathable materials, each piece of the Martha Stewart Pets®wedding collection for dogs features timeless design elements,simple color palettes and complementary accessories such ascollars and leashes to help ensure your pooch puts her best footforward. The limited-edition line of dapper, sweet andsophisticated wedding attire, including elegant tuxedos to bow-adorned dresses, is available at www.petsmart.com and PetSmartstores. Remember, a “dress rehearsal” can help you make sureyour fur kids can sit and stay comfortably in their wedding dayattire.

· Pamper your pet. Now is not the time to skimp on pampering.

From lush, oxygen-infused baths to haircuts fit for a show dognail trims to non-toxic chalking and decorative stenciling, let groomer take the lead on your pet’s look for the big day.

· Keep everyone fed. Make sure your four-legged friends hav

more than table scraps to nosh on during the reception. Servefood in a portable bowl and bring treats, too. In case one of theguests can’t resist helping Fido sneak a snack, be sure the humanmenu doesn’t contain anything that’s harmful to pets. Provideplenty of fresh water, and if the venue is outdoors, use a largeblock of ice to keep your canine’s water cool all day.

· Make sure your fur kid is the party type. Before committingyour pet to a vibrant celebration, be sure he’s comfortable withcommotion, loud music, crowds and strangers. Consider signingup for a training class beforehand; brushing up on your pet’s besbehavior can only enhance the day.

· Assign a chaperone. If you have a leading role in the big dayas the bride or a member of the wedding party, recruit a staff ofamily member to double as your pet’s dedicated chaperone. Arm

them with a pooper scooper and pick up bags. Help create a quietsafe space for the chaperone to guide your pet away from theexcitement if it becomes overwhelming.

(Family Features) Mold in your home is aserious matter that can cause not only substantialproperty damage, but also significant harm to yourhealth. Any mold infestation requires immediateattention and cleanup, but it could be growing in aplace you cannot see and still affect your health.

How mold affects health: According to theCenters for Disease Control, mold exposure canaffect people in a range of ways, from nasalstuffiness and eye irritation to wheezing and skinirritation. For those who are especially sensitive orwho have a mold allergy, the reactions can bemore severe. Mold can also pose a higher healthconcern for those with asthma and other illnessesor compromised immune systems. Some research,including a 2004 study by the Institute of Medicine, also suggests that mold can causerespiratory illnesses in otherwise healthy people.

Identifying a mold problem: If you or your

family members are exhibiting symptomsconsistent with mold exposure that cannot beattributed to another illness, you may find a moldproblem in your home is to blame. Mold can varyin appearance but often you can readily recognize its white to greenishor black spotty appearance. You may also notice a damp, musty odorin areas where mold is growing. When mold is visible to the eye, it’seasier to connect your health concerns with the mold growth.

However, if you’re not aware of any mold in your home, you can dsome additional investigating yourself. A simple DIY kit such as thHealthful Home 5-Minute Mold Test Kit can detect mold sporeaccumulating in household dust, including the types most associatewith water damage and health issues. The leading mold test sold oAmazon.com, this test can be conducted on-site and provides results ias little as in five minutes, bypassing delays for lab testing associatedwith many at-home kits. The test has been validated in anEnvironmental Protection Agency-licensed lab as the most sensitivand accurate rapid test available.

A dose of preventionDepending on the degree and type of mold you discover, you maybe able to clean it up and eradicate the problem yourself. If the growthis extensive, you will require the assistance of trained professionals tolocate, eradicate and prevent further spread of the mold contaminationOnce the mold has been safely removed, you can take some steps toprevent chances of a reoccurrence:

· To help trap airborne mold spores and other allergens, be sure thfilter you are using is correctly rated for your HVAC system. A filtethat is too restrictive for your air blower may overstress and burn outhe motor.

· A humidity level more than 65 percent invites mold growth. Ainexpensive electronic humidity meter can monitor your rooms andidentify areas that need better ventilation or dehumidification.

· If your attic or crawl space has high humidity, have it checked by

a professional for possible solutions before mold takes over.· Vent appliances properly and install exhaust fans in rooms that sehigh levels of moisture, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms andkitchens.

· Identify any sources of moisture or leaks throughout the homeincluding faucets and around windows and doors, and take steps tocorrect them.

(Family Features) Bellswill soon be ringing, andparents may experience asense of déjà vu for the firstseveral weeks of school.That’s because the early part

of each new school year iscommonly spent reversingthe effect of “summer braindrain –when kids lose skillsthey mastered the previousyear.

According to a recentsurvey by DSM NutritionalProducts and Pop Warner,78 percent of parents areconcerned about students’difficulties retaining whatthey learned in schoolthroughout the summer.

A majority of surveyedparents understand the role

of nutrition in physical andacademic performance, butdon’t make the connectionto nutrition’s role inpreventing brain drain.While many parentsencourage their children totake vitamins and mineralsto supplement nutrition,nearly half admit they aren’tclear about which nutrientssupport children’s brainhealth.

What’s more,maintaining a well-rounded

and healthy diet and takingvitamins and other essentialnutrients that support brainhealth ranked significantlylower than other strategies parents use to prevent brain drain, suchas sports and academic activities.

Nutrition plays an important role in brain health year-round, saysElizabeth Somer, a nationally acclaimed registered dietitian,nutritionist and author. To help keep your students’ minds sharp asthey head back to school, consider these tips from Somer:

· Eat fatty fish twice a week fordinner or supplement omega-3s. Omega-3s are highly concentrated in the brain and importantto brain health, yet according to research published in the BritishMedical Journal, the average American diet contains less omega-3sfrom seafood than most other developed countries. Children andadults should get the recommended two servings of fatty fish, such

as salmon, per week.· Offer a variety of healthy food options in the house. Giving

children choices teaches them to take care of their bodies andempowers them to make better food decisions in the future. Stock the kitchen with lots of colorful fruits and vegetables, such as babycarrots, berries and bananas for snacks, and broccoli, green peas andmashed sweet potatoes for dinner. The nutrients in these foods areimportant for the brain. Along with calcium, low-fat milk suppliesvitamin D, which is a nutrient essential for brain development.

· Consider taking a multivitamin. No one eats perfectly. It isimportant to talk with your physician or registered dietitian about

whether you or your children could benefit from a multivitaminAccording to research published in The Journal of Nutrition, only 10percent of Americans get the nutrients they need from their foodand supplementation can help fill that gap.

(Family Features) If you think drinking water during a workoutis just about keeping your mouth from drying out as you pant yourway through each set, think again. In addition to keeping youcomfortable, staying hydrated is a necessary aspect of any healthyworkout.

Your body is composed of 60 percent water, but on average, you

lose 2-5 percent of your body weight from water loss every time youwork out.

Once you get into your workout groove, you may find it hard tostop, even for a water break. What you may not realize is that wateris an essential nutrient that keeps your muscles primed, bloodflowing and the nerves in your brain firing. Taking a break to replacewhat you lose while exercising is actually a good way to keep your

workout going.The evaporation of sweat helps cool the body during exercise, bu

this diminishing hydration can lead to poor performance and evenpossible injury. Make the most of your workout and stay fit withthese helpful hydration tips from the Army National Guard’s GuarYour Health campaign:

· Cool, plain water is the best drink to replace the fluid lost asweat and help regulate your core body temperature.

· Plan to drink water before, during and after exercise to prevendehydration and help enhance performance. Sip a 16-ounce bottleof water every hour while working out.

· Outdoor workouts require extra hydration, even during cooleweather. The water content in your skin helps it perform it

protective functions, including limiting damagfrom the sun. Make sure to drink plenty of watebefore, during and after any time spent in thsun.

· Learn to recognize signs of dehydration, soyou can take steps to reverse it. Early signinclude muscle cramps and fatigue, while a drymouth, headaches, dizziness, slurred speech anconfusion all signal advancing dehydration. Iyour extremities become swollen or youbecome feverish, medical attention is necessary

· Another way to check your hydration leveis by monitoring your urination. Urine shouldbe clear or light yellow, and you should urinatevery two to four hours.

· If you find yourself dehydrated and wateisn’t available, a melon, orange, celerycucumber or bell pepper can help replenish youbody’s water content.

· Make it a post-workout practice to replenishelectrolytes with a banana, dates or coconuwater.

It’s important for everyday health to keepwell-hydrated away from the gym, too. Staying

properly hydrated helps regulate your bodtemperature, weight and mood. Keep a refillablbottle of water with you wherever you go, andif you need a touch of flavor, add lemon, limepineapple or cucumber for a refreshing twistAim to drink 50-75 percent of your body weighin ounces of water each day to stay hydrated.

Bring Breakfast-to-GoEven if breakfast finds you crunched for time, prime the kids

with morning nutrients to energize their day. Give them abreakfast boost with make-ahead options that can be enjoyedon-the-go in cars and buses. Try portable Scrambled Egg Cupsor Oatmeal Cups, which provide plenty of protein to get themthrough the day.

Unbeatable “Brown Bag” TipsWhen it comes to packing school lunches, stick to what your

kids like. If they aren’t crazy about something, it may end up inthe garbage or get traded for an unhealthy snack. These simpleswaps will make your kids’ brown bag lunch unbeatable:

1.) For sandwiches, swap white bread for a higher NuVal-scoring brown bread or pita.

2.) Replace deli meats with lean roasted beef or poultry orlow fat cheese.

3.) For a delicious, nutritious sandwich spread, trademayonnaise for a mashed avocado. Make fruits and vegetables

a go-to snack. Chop up carrots, peppers and celery in advanceand stash some in lunch bags with hummus; or sprinkle appleand pear slices with lemon and cinnamon to satisfy a sweettooth.

4.) Choose water to hydrate and calcium- and vitamin D-rich milk to strengthen growing bones.

Smart Swaps for After School· Chips and packaged cookies, move out of the way. Swap

them for smart after-school snacks that are homemade,nutritious and fun to make.

· Custom-create a smoothie. Have kids choose their favoritefruit and vegetables. Toss them into the blender with ice and fatfree yogurt for a snack that’s easy, fun and filling.

· Make banana sushi rolls. Top a whole grain tortilla with nutbutter and a whole banana sprinkled with cinnamon. Roll it up

and slice like sushi rolls. (These are great for lunches, too.)Other after-school smart snacks include:• Apple slices topped with almond butter.• Air-popped popcorn (Avoid microwave popcorn, which is

often high in trans-fat and sodium.)• Fresh salsa and tortilla chips.
