What is an Anti-Inflammatory Diet?

By Barbara Gordon, RDN, LD—Published July 25, 2019

Did you know that research has found a link between inflammation

and increased risk for chronic diseases? And, these studies suggest

that heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity might be due to chronic

inflammation.

Inflammation is a Normal Body Response to Promote Healing

Inflammation is a sign that the immune system is fighting infection. The

infection may be related to germs, wounds, allergens, toxins or other

causes.

Typically, we think of signs of inflammation as redness, swelling and pain. But, sometimes inflammation can

happen within our bodies. Someone with bronchitis has a lung infection. The lungs may become

Inflamed. And, this may be a sign that their immune system is working to fight that infection. Excess body fat

may promote changes in the body cells that promote chronic inflammation. The signs of inflammation may not

be obvious. For others, chronic inflammation may relate to a problem with their immune system.

Whatever the cause, long term chronic inflammation may damage the body’s DNA, increasing the risk for

cancer.

What We Know and Don’t Know about Foods and Inflammation

Various anti-inflammatory diets are promoted online. But, researchers are still figuring out how what we eat

may affect inflammation. So far, it appears that eating a variety of nutritious foods may help reduce

inflammation in the body. What we eat may help prevent and keep chronic inflammation in check. And, a

healthy eating plan provides nutrients that help keep your immune system working well:

• Fruits and vegetables contain natural components called phytonutrients that may help protect against

inflammation.

• Healthy fats, such as monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids, may help keep inflammation at bay.

Foods high in saturated fats may increase inflammation. Plus, highly processed foods and other foods with trans

-fat also may be inflammatory.

Anti-inflammatory Superfoods”

Dark chocolate (more than 70-percent cocoa), red wine, green tea, turmeric and ginger are thought to help

reduce inflammation. But, many of the findings of the anti-inflammatory effects of these foods comes from

studies done with lab animals. We cannot form conclusions about how these foods impact inflammation in

people at this time. And, it is not yet known how much and how often “anti-inflammatory” foods must be eaten

to combat inflammation. For now, the best advice is to adopt a healthy eating style.

ND SMP Scam of the Month September 2019 Fight Back Against Medicare Fraud

Avoid becoming a victim of Medicare fraud. Medicare fraud is not a victimless crime, we all pay for Medicare

fraud in the form of higher health care premiums and co-pays. These schemes can also jeopardize a person’s

health care if information about their coverage and benefits is compromised. ND SMP receives calls almost

daily from beneficiaries who have been contacted for a “so-called” free genetic test or free braces in

exchange for their Medicare number. Did you know that the street value of a stolen or deceitfully

obtained Medicare number is $500 and higher?

Scammer’s don’t stop their attempts at just phone calls, they are also showing up at senior health

fairs, shopping malls, homeless shelters, and at senior housing complexes. ND SMP wants all Medicare

recipients to know that these tests are NOT covered by Medicare, and Medicare is billed for “FREE” braces.

Anyone who is approached should walk away or hang up on any attempts to get your Medicare number. If

you receive a testing kit in the mail, don’t accept the kit. Return it to sender but keep a record of the

sender’s name and the date you returned the package. Any Suspicious activity should be reported to the

SMP.

Additional tips to protect yourself from Medicare Scams:

• Treat your Medicare card like a credit card, don’t share it with strangers.

• Don’t carry your Medicare card with you unless you have an appointment

with your care provider or when traveling.

• If you don’t have your Medicare card with you and require medical care, you

CANNOT be denied services, billing information can be collected after the fact.

• Monitor your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) and look for errors in billing.

• If you haven’t yet received your new Medicare number, contact CMS at

1-800-633-4227.

• If you need assistance, contact ND SMP. We are here to help you.

• Contact the Consumer Protection Division at the ND Attorney General’s Office at

1-800-472-2600 if you think you have been scammed by fraudsters other than

Medicare.

It is the responsibility of all Medicare recipients to help reduce Medicare fraud:

• Don’t request items that you don’t need.

• Don’t answer calls from phone numbers you don’t recognize.

• Never give out your Medicare number to anyone over the phone.

• Do everything to help reduce fraud and keep costs down.

What is an Anti-Inflammatory Diet?

By Barbara Gordon, RDN, LD—Published July 25, 2019 Continued from page 1

Five Dietary Approaches That May Help Reduce Inflammation

Are you looking for ways to help combat inflammation? Consider the following five steps:

Step 1: Make Fruits and Vegetables Half Your Plate

• Aim to include vegetables and fruits with every meal

• Eat a variety of brightly colored vegetables and fruits:

• All forms count — including fresh, frozen, canned and dried. Just be sure to look for products with no

added sugars and lower amounts of sodium.

• Focus on vegetables from each subgroup weekly, including dark green, red and orange vegetables, as

well as beans and peas.

Step 2: Be Smart about Protein

• Don’t overdo the protein— five to six ounce equivalents per day is appropriate for most people that are

moderately active. And, when it comes to protein, select fatty fish containing omega-3s a couple of times

each week.

• Enjoy meatless meals with tofu, tempeh, and legumes such as beans, peas, and lentils.

• Choose leaner protein foods, such as skinless chicken or turkey or lean cuts of beef and pork.

• Include low fat or fat-free dairy products, like skim milk and yogurt, which are lower in saturated fat.

• Minimize highly processed foods such as deli meat, bacon, and sausage.

Step3: Choose Healthy Fats

• Use monounsaturated fats, including olive, safflower, sunflower, canola, peanut and avocado oils.

• Eat omega-3 rich foods:

• Enjoy salmon or another fatty fish two to three times per week.

• Snack on nuts, such as walnuts.

• Toss ground flaxseed, chia seeds and hemp seeds into salads and other dishes.

• Minimize highly processed foods that contain partially hydrogenated oils and high amounts of saturated

fat.

Step 4: Select Whole Grains

• Choose whole-grain flours and cereals more often, rather than those made with refined flour.

• Include a variety of whole grains, such as brown rice, quinoa, millet and wheat berries.

Step 5: Experiment with Fresh Herbs and Spices

• Infuse flavor into your dishes by adding fresh herbs.

• Spice up your recipes by experimenting with spices.

Other Lifestyle Factors

Though what you eat is important, it's not the only factor that impacts chronic inflammation. To help stay

healthy:

• Get adequate sleep — both quality and duration of sleep directly impact inflammation.

• Be active — regular physical activity has anti-inflammatory effects. Aim for 30 to 60 minutes of

moderate-intensity physical activity a day on most days of the week.

• Achieve and maintain a healthy weight — excess body fat could contribute to increased inflammation.

Nonprofit Helps Older Job Seekers Re-enter Workforce

For many older North Dakotans, going back to work is not an option - it’s a necessity that sometimes comes with

challenges. Experience Works, Inc., a national nonprofit organization operating the Senior Community Service

Employment Program (SCSEP) in 38 North Dakota counties, stands ready to help qualifying folks get the skills they

need to find good jobs with local employers.

The SCSEP is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor and is geared for people ages 55 and older who are

unemployed, with limited annual income and limited job prospects. The program is free and available to those who

qualify. It’s a stepping stone to employment.

“The SCSEP offers older adults a chance to earn a much-needed paycheck while they build confidence, update job

skills and discover new career possibilities,” says Craig Aldrich, North Dakota Employment and Training Coordinator for

Experience Works. “The connection is especially important in rural areas where jobs are scarce but older people still

need to work to make ends meet.”

Participants spend an average of 20 hours each week in paid community service assignments at public and

nonprofit organizations or Host Agencies, earning minimum wage –paid by Experience Works. Examples include

performing clerical and administrative duties at nonprofits; sorting donations at food banks; preparing meals and

recreation at senior centers; or assisting in classrooms and libraries. As participants become job-ready, their efforts

have a positive impact in their communities. It’s a win-win.

According to Aldrich, there are many instances when SCSEP participants are hired by the organizations where they are

training. If that’s not possible, Experience Works offers a variety of additional training and supportive services such as

developing a resume, improving interview skills, and identifying job opportunities.

Currently, there are several openings in the program. Do you

know someone who might be eligible –a friend, family member,

neighbor or yourself? For more information about enrolling or

becoming a Host Agency, contact North Dakota Experience

Works: 888-278-9109 or visit www.experienceworks.org.

The New Shingles Vaccine

A new shingles vaccine came out in 2017 called Shingrix. This vaccine is much more effective

than the old shingles vaccine, called Zostavax. Studies have shown that immunity was waning

to little or nothing after 10 years with the previous shingles vaccine (Zostavax). Shingrix is

much more effective up to 97% in preventing shingles and postherpetic neuralgia, which is a

deliberating nerve pain that sometimes occurs after shingles. Shingrix is a two-dose series

about two to six months apart and is for persons age 50 years and older. Even if you have already had the

previous shingles vaccine, you can still get the new shingles vaccine.

The shingles vaccine is not covered by Medicare A or B, but may be covered by Medicare D plans. Richland

County Health Department has a supply of Shingrix and can bill Medicare Part D plans. If you are interested in

this vaccine or have questions, call the health department at 701-642-7735 to set up your appointment.
