Charities often benefit significantly from thegenerosity of donors and volunteers. Butthe person providing the philanthropy also

takes away something from the experience, andthere actually may be measurable emotional advan-tages to being charitable.

Helping others not only makes a person feelgood, but it may also increase physical and emotion-al well being. Several studies have indicated thatbeing generous has profound effects on how a per-son thinks and feels. One such study fromresearchers at Cornell University uncovered thatvolunteering increases one's energy, sense of mas-tery over life, and self-esteem. It also promotes feel-ings of positivity, which may strengthen and enhancethe immune system.

In 2008, Dr. Ellen Langer, a professor of psychol-ogy at Harvard University, advocated for giving gifts

and being generous -- even in tough financial times.

"When you give a gift it makes you feel generous,it makes you feel in control, it's good for your self-esteem, and it's good for the relationship," saysLanger.

According to psychologist Robert Ornstein andphysician David Sobel, authors of Healthy Pleasures,they talk about a ‘helper's high.’ This is a sense ofeuphoria that volunteers experience when helpingothers. It can be described as a sense of vitality anda warm glow. It has been compared to a runner'shigh and may be attributed to a release of endor-phins.

Various studies have found that donors and vol-unteers gain the most from a charitable encounter.

Here are a few more health benefits that mayresult from being altruistic:

* an activation of emotions that are key to good

health,

* lower stress levels,

* longer periods of calm after the generous act,

* improved mood, and

* a potentially longer life span.

There are many ways to give back and experi-ence these physical and psychological benefits,including:

* sharing experiences at a school,

* volunteering at a hospital,

* volunteering at a national or local park,

* donating unused items, like clothes or cars,

* reading to children at a library,

* helping to care for animals at shelters,

* volunteering at a hospice and comforting thoseat the end of their lives,

* becoming a companion to a senior citizen.

Did you know?A new study in the journal Neurology suggests that working out is the mosteffective way to protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease. Researchers studiedroughly 700 study participants from Scotland, all of whom were born in 1936.Each participant reported their levels of leisure and physical activity at age 70,rating their physical activity on a scale from moving only to perform householdchores to participating in heavy exercise or competitive sport several times perweek. Participants were also asked to rate how often they engaged in social orintellectual activities. At age 73, participants received an MRI to measure certainbiomarkers in their brains. Those who participated in more physical activityshowed less brain shrinkage and fewer white matter lesions, both of which canbe signs of Alzheimer's disease. And while social and intellectual activities canbe beneficial in preventing Alzheimer's disease, the study found that social andintellectual engagement weren't as helpful to the brain as physical exercise. Thetypes of physical exercise most beneficial to the brain are still being studied,though information presented at the 2012 Alzheimer's Association's Inter na -tional Conference suggested that strength training is perhaps the most effectiveform of exercise.

Long Ridge Dermatology

Have you ever been diagnosedwith skin cancer or with aprecancerous skin condition?

Do you know someone who has? Thechances of answering yes to either ofthese questions are quite high sinceskin cancer is the most common can-cer in the United States. One in fiveAmericans will develop a skin cancerin the course of their lifetime.

By far the most common skin cancer

is basal cell carcinoma, followed by

squamous cell carcinoma. These can-

cers are locally destructive, but they

do not tend to travel around the body

except in rare circumstances. Though

very common, they are generally not

fatal when diagnosed and treated

early.

Melanoma is the third most com-

mon skin cancer, and though it only

accounts for about five percent of all

skin cancers, it is responsible for the

large majority of skin cancer related

deaths. Every hour one person in theUnited States dies from melanoma.Unfortunately, the incidence of thispotentially deadly skin cancer is rising.

Most skin cancers arise from muta-tions in the DNA of skin cells broughton by the cumulative effects of ultra-violet light from the sun, and evenmore intensely from the lights in atanning bed. Therefore, protectingyour skin from the damage of ultravi-olet light is the single most meaningfulway to reduce your chances of devel-oping skin cancer. Strategies includeusing sunscreen, wearing sun-protec-tive clothing, and employing wisebehavioral choices such as avoidingoutdoor sun exposure from 10:00a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and strictly avoidingtanning parlors.

Fortunately, a thorough visual totalbody skin examination from a traineddermatologist can identify potentialskin cancers at their early stages whenthey are most easily treated. Cer -tainly, any new or changing spots orgrowths on your skin should bebrought to the attention of your

physician.

From a treatment perspective,there are more options for manage-ment of skin cancers and precancer-ous skin conditions than ever before,including topical creams, light basedtreatments and oral medicines.Surgical removal remains the mostcommon treatment of skin cancer. Aspecialized in-office technique knownas Mohs surgery allows the highestpossible cure rate for certain skincancers while preserving and sparingthe greatest amount of healthy unaf-fected skin in the process. A fellowshiptrained Mohs surgeon is an expert inthis technique and is also an expert inany reconstruction that may be need-ed afterwards.

I visited the salon again recently, after a terrific first encounter that left mefeeling refreshed and renewed, and left my hair in better condition than ever. Iput myself in the care of a highly skilled and talented stylist, with over 20 yearsof experience in color and styling. She took a careful look at my hair and madeexpert recommendations. She then carefully mixed my customized color withthe Wella color products used by the salon. It’s a very modern German line,which features many shades with great versatility while it also conditions hair.A great feature, I have found, is that is goes on with no chemical smell or scalpirritation. Next came some carefully placed highlights, followed by the color.

After the color process, aspecial glaze was appliedto condition and brightenthe hair.

The results are reallyextraordinary. Great col -or with soft, manageablehair, not dry and brittle.My stylist then madesome recommendationsabout the general shapeof the hair, suggesting alittle growth but gave mea little trim to clean upthe look while it grows. Ileft Fraiche Hair with agreat new look, a promiseof even more improve-ment in the future, and alittle spring in my step.That’s what happenswhen you feel you havecreated a “new you!”

coastal orthopaedics

In my medical school training at UPenn and theHospital for Joint Diseases and the Kerlan-JobeClinic, I focused on the care of injured athletes

and their return to function. During that time I par-ticipated in the care of the LA Lakers, Dodgers, andKings as well as in arena football, lacrosse, and withthe Anaheim Ducks and USC football teams.

Since that time my work has been with many highschool and college football teams where we are see-ing the advancements of “sports medicine,” in partic-ular the training and care of young athletes.Whenever we talk about sports injures, it is probablybest to divide injuries into acute injuries and sub-acute or chronic injuries.

We have learned that children can sustain similarinjuries as adults. The diagnosis of pediatric anteriorcruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscal injuries is onthe rise. This may be related to increased awarenessand better diagnosis of these injuries. If left untreat-ed, it is possible that these injuries can lead to furtherdamage to the knee and even to the onset of earlyarthritis. Acute knee injuries should be evaluated bya medical professional and may require x-rays oreven an MRI.

Sub-acute or chronic injuries can also sideline ayoung athlete. Over the past years, there has been anincreased focus on sports. While sports are great andteach children excellent life skills as well as improvephysical condition, there is a point at which it can getto be too much. That point may be different amongstathletes and may change as a child grows.

In an effort to improve athletic ability, children andadolescents are often specializing in one sport andparticipating in that sport year-round. Whether it beon a team, in camp, or even in the backyard, year-round sports can lead to fatigue and injury. Overuseinjuries can occur all over the body. There are even

names to associate injuries with certain sports. Forexample, a chronic, overuse injury to the growthplate of the proximal humerus (shoulder) is knownas “Little Leaguer’s Shoulder.”

Obviously, these types of injuries are not limited tobaseball. We do not yet know how much time is toomuch time in gymnastics practice, or soccer, or evenplaying most sports outside. We do believe that per-forming multiple sports over the course of a yearallows for different muscles to be used and rested.Also, period of rest and time without any majorsports participation is also beneficial.

Another important recommendation is to preparefor the upcoming season well in advance. A period oflimited activity followed by a sudden onset of intensetraining can easily lead to aggravation of growthplates, tendons, and apophyses. In general, a graduat-ed schedule of increased activity with appropriatestretching may help prevent these conditions. Eventhough training camp begins in the spring, young ath-letes should be preparing on their own well inadvance of these intense training periods.

Sports are great. With the increased prevalence ofchildhood obesity it has become even more evidentthat many children are not nearly active enough. Withappropriate training, rest, and conditioning we hopeto prevent many injuries and keep our young athletessafer.

As with most athletic training, when there is oppor-tunity for prevention, this becomes the most effectivestrategy by far. “No pain, no gain” is not an appropri-ate tenet for youth sports. Should an injury arise,prompt attention makes recovery more feasible.
