SLEEPSleep and Health Among Adults in

OHIOSufficient sleep is essential for a healthy lifestyleHow much sleep do adults need?Adults should sleep 7 or more hours each night for optimal health.1 Insufficient sleep (or short sleep) is defined as less than 7 hours of sleep daily. More than a third of U.S. adults report insufficient sleep.2

What are the consequences of not getting enough sleep?Not getting enough sleep is associated with an increased risk for a number of chronic diseases and conditions3:

• Diabetes • Cardiovascular disease • Stroke • Obesity • Depression

Not getting enough sleep also contributes to motor vehicle crashes and machinery-related injuries, causing substantial injury and disability each year.3

What are 5 health behaviors for preventing chronic disease?Five health behaviors have been identified as being key for preventing chronic disease4:

• Not smoking • Regular physical activity • Moderate* or no alcohol consumption • Maintaining a healthy weight • Daily sufficient sleep (7 or more hours)

Why don’t adults get the sleep they need?Causes of insufficient sleep include lifestyle (like inconsistent bedtimes and using technology late at night) and occupational factors (like shift work or long work hours).3 In addition, some medical conditions, medications, and sleep disorders like sleep apnea affect how long and how well you sleep.3

Use the information on the following pages to prioritize your education and outreach efforts to improve the health of residents in your state.

The prevalence of short sleep (<7 hours per day) varies geographically

Model-based* Estimated Age-adjusted Prevalence of Short Sleep# by County, 2014 — Ohio

In 2014, 37.1% (age-adjusted = 38.1%) of Ohio adults reported usually sleeping <7 hours in a 24-hour period.

The state map (left) presents the estimated age-adjusted county-level prevalence of short sleep among Ohio adults.

For comparison, the national map (below) shows state-by-state adult prevalence of short sleep.

Healthy eating doesn’t mean giving up all the foods you love! Smart substitutions can help you maintain an overall healthy eating pattern, even when dining out.

For Recipes

You can make many of your favorite recipes healthier by using lower-fat or no-fat ingredients. These healthy substitutions can help you cut down on saturated or trans fats, while noticing little, if any, difference in taste.

Instead of whole milk (1 cup), use 1 cup fat-free or low-fat milk, plus one tablespoon of liquid vegetable oil.

Instead of heavy cream (1 cup), use 1 cup evaporated skim milk or 1/2 cup low-fat yogurt and 1/2 cup plain low-fat unsalted cottage cheese.

Instead of sour cream, use low-fat unsalted cottage cheese plus low-fat or fat-free yogurt; or just use fat-free sour cream.

Instead of cream cheese, use 4 tablespoons soft margarine (low in saturated fat and 0 grams trans fat) blended with 1 cup dry, unsalted low-fat cottage cheese; add a small amount of fat-free milk if needed.

Instead of butter (1 tablespoon), use 1 tablespoon soft margarine (low in saturated fat and 0 grams trans fat) or 3/4 tablespoon liquid vegetable oil.

Instead of unsweetened baking chocolate (1 ounce), use 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder or carob powder plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or soft margarine; since carob is sweeter than cocoa, reduce the sugar in the recipe by 25%.

For Snacks

You can snack healthier by substituting snacks that are high in saturated fats and/or trans fats with these sensible snacks:

Instead of fried tortilla chips, enjoy baked tortilla chips (reduced sodium version). Instead of regular potato or corn chips, enjoy pretzels or low-fat potato chips

(reduced sodium version). Instead of high-fat cookies and crackers, enjoy fat-free or low-fat cookies,

crackers (such as graham crackers, rice cakes, fig and other fruit bars, ginger snaps and molasses cookies).

Instead of regular baked goods, enjoy baked goods, such as cookies, cakes and pies, and pie crusts made with unsaturated oil or soft margarines, egg whites or egg substitutes, and fat-free milk.

Instead of devil’s food cake, enjoy angel food cake. Instead of ice cream bars, enjoy frozen fruit bars. Instead of pudding made with whole milk, enjoy pudding made with fat-free or

low-fat milk. Instead of ice cream, enjoy sherbet, ice milk or frozen, fat-free or low-fat yogurt. Instead of a doughnut, enjoy a bagel or slice of toast.

For High-Fat Items at Restaurant

You can eat sensibly when you eat out by choosing lower-fat foods instead of “the usual."

Instead of cream-based soups, try broth-based soups with lots of vegetables Instead of quiche and salad, try soup and salad. Instead of buffalo chicken wings, try peel-and-eat shrimp. Instead of bread, muffins, or croissants, try melba toast, pita bread, or whole-

grain rolls. Instead of a fried chicken sandwich, try a grilled chicken sandwich. Instead of chicken fried steak, try a veggie burger. Instead of french fries, try baked potato, brown rice, or steamed vegetables. Instead of potatoes and gravy, try potatoes without gravy or a baked potato. Instead of creamy coleslaw, try sautéed vegetables, steamed vegetables or a

tossed salad. Instead of a hot fudge sundae or ice cream, try nonfat yogurt, sherbet or fruit ice.

For Fast-Food Restaurants

You can eat sensibly at fast-food restaurants by choosing lower-fat foods instead of “the usual."

Instead of a danish, try a small bagel. Instead of a jumbo cheeseburger, try a grilled chicken sandwich, a sliced meat

sandwich or a regular hamburger on a bun with lettuce, tomato and onion. Instead of fried chicken, try a grilled chicken and a side salad. Instead of fried chicken pieces, try a grilled chicken sandwich. Instead of french fries, try a baked potato with vegetables and/or low-fat or fat-

free sour cream or margarine on the side.

When it comes to weight loss, there’s no lack of dietspromising fast results. There are low-carb diets, high-carb diets,low-fat diets, grapefruit diets, cabbage soup diets, and blood typediets, to name a few. But no matter what diet you may try, to loseweight, you must take in fewer calories than your body uses. Mostpeople try to reduce their calorie intake by focusing on food, butanother way to cut calories may be to think about what you drink.

What Do You Drink? It Makes More Difference Than You Think!

Calories in drinks are not hidden (they’re listed right on the NutritionFacts label), but many people don’t realize just how many calories bev-erages can contribute to their daily intake. As you can see in theexample on the next page, calories from drinks can really add up. Butthere is good news: you have plenty of options for reducing the num-ber of calories in what you drink.

Learn To Read Nutrition Facts CarefullyBe aware that the Nutrition Facts label on beverage containers maygive the calories for only part of the contents.The example belowshows the label on a 20-oz. bottle. As you cansee, it lists the numberof calories in an 8-oz.serving (100) eventhough the bottle con-tains 20 oz. or 2.5 servings.To figure out how many calories are inthe whole bottle, you need to multiply the number of calories inone serving by the number of servings in the bottle (100 x 2.5).Youcan see that the contents of the entire bottle actually contain 250calories even though what the label calls a “serving” only contains100.This shows that you need to look closely at the serving sizewhen comparing the calorie content of different beverages.

High-Calorie Culprits in Unexpected PlacesCoffee drinks and blended fruit smoothies sound innocent enough,but the calories in some of your favorite coffee-shop or smoothie-stand items may surprise you. Check the website or in-store nutri-tion information of your favorite coffee or smoothie shop to findout how many calories are in different menu items. And when asmoothie or coffee craving kicks in, here are some tips to help min-imize the caloric damage:

At the coffee shop:

Request that your drink be made with fat-free (skim) milk insteadof whole milk.

Order the smallest size available.

Forgo the extra flavoring—the flavor syrups used in coffee shops,like vanilla or hazelnut, are sugar-sweetened and will add caloriesto your drink.

• Get back to basics. Order a plain cup ofcoffee with fat-free milk and artificialsweetener, or drink it black.

Skip the Whip.The whipped cream on top of coffee drinks adds caloriesand fat.

At the smoothie stand:

Order a child’s size if available.

Ask to see the nutrition information for eachtype of smoothie and pick the smoothie withthe fewest calories.

Hold the sugar. Many smoothies contain addedsugar in addition to the sugar naturally in fruit,juice, or yogurt. Ask that your smoothie beprepared without added sugar: the fruit is natu-rally sweet.

Better Beverage Choices Made Easy

Now that you know how much difference a drink canmake, here are some ways to make smart beveragechoices:

Choose water, diet, or low-calorie beverages insteadof sugar-sweetened beverages.

For a quick, easy, and inexpensive thirst-quencher,carry a water bottle and refill it throughout the day.

Don’t “stock the fridge” with sugar-sweetened bever-ages. Instead, keep a jug or bottles of cold water inthe fridge.

Serve water with meals.

Make water more exciting by adding slices of lemon,lime, cucumber, or watermelon, or drink sparklingwater.

Add a splash of 100% juice to plain sparkling waterfor a refreshing, low-calorie drink.

When you do opt for a sugar-sweetened beverage, gofor the small size. Some companies are now selling 8-oz. cans and bottles of soda, which contain about 100calories.

Be a role model for your friends and family by choos-ing healthy, low-calorie beverages.
