HEALTHY LIVING

Tuesday, Dec. 02, 2014 - Alberni Valley News

Health tip: Food and diet affect lung disease— being both underweight and overweight have consequences for those with breathing problems.

e v i t c A Eating and breathing: essentials for life SANDRA GENTLEMAN

Healthy Living

M

any people are surprised to learn that foods and diet can affect breathing, especially if they have a chronic lung condition, such as asthma, bronchitis or

emphysema.

Recent air quality advisories in the Alberni Valley can impact people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and make it a challenge to function normally. While living with COPD, eating a healthy diet can help maintain strength and

improve quality of life by reducing some symptoms.

Being underweight can make symptoms worse, whereas being overweight can stress heart and lungs.

Individuals with breathing issues may deal with a variety of nutritional concerns that affect their daily living. These

people may struggle to maintain weight, have dry mouth, low appetite, swelling in ankles, gas, bloating and possibly acid reflux.

Since laboured breathing takes time and energy, those living with emphysema or other chronic lung problems may be underweight, and therefore have fewer nutritional stores for when and if they get sick. Being underweight with lung disease can affect quality and length of life.

Lean muscle tissue requires adequate daily dietary protein, such as eggs, meat,

fish, poultry, cheese, milk, nuts, seeds, beans/legumes/peas, soy and lentils. Two to three servings of protein-rich foods helps to maintain muscle including respiratory and heart muscles. Including calorie-rich fluids, such as milkshakes, smoothies, Ensure, Boost (or equivalent) between or after meals helps to improve energy intake for those people struggling to maintain weight with food.

Methods to gain weight include choosing protein-rich foods with higher levels of fat, plus dairy products, such

as whole milk, full fat yogurt and cheese.

Many people coping with breathing issues may have dry mouth for a variety of reasons.

This could be due to medication side effects, inadequate fluid intake, eating salty food and ‘open mouth’ and/or pursedlip breathing. With dry mouth can come thick, sticky mucus and saliva, which can affect taste buds, reduce appetite and cause sore mouth.

Oral care is very important for people with breathing issues.

Rinsing often with baking soda and water or club soda can help

with symptoms of dry mouth, improve appetite, taste for food and reduce mouth infections.

Adequate fluid intake is important to help keep the body working well. Intake of fluids will thin mucous secretions, plus help maintain bowel regularity.

Salty foods can impact swelling of ankles and may make high blood pressure worse. Food labels indicate how much sodium are in packaged foods and can be a useful tool to choose more wisely.

Fifteen per cent Daily Value (D.V.) or more is a lot of sodium content and may increase problems. Whereas, eating foods that have five per cent D.V. of sodium or less would be a healthier option.

Highly processed, packaged items tend to have more sodium, whereas fresh/frozen vegetables, fruits and whole grains are healthier options with less added salt.

People living with lung disease often have a higher risk of acid reflux. Skipping meals and then subsequently eating too much at once can aggravate symptoms.

Smaller, more frequent meals and snacks are better tolerated.

A well-nourished body is better able to handle colds/ flus and other infections, whereas people with lower muscle and fat stores may become sick quickly and require hospitalization. Good nutrition can help prevent that.

Stinks on a plane–the joys of flying close quarters A Brighter Note

T

he first time I was on a plane I was 14 years old traveling to Hawaii with my parents and my 12-year-old brother. I don’t remember much about my introduction to air travel except that my parents smoked cigarettes and drank Mai Tais while Jeremie looked excitedly out the window.

All I remember doing is praying we wouldn’t crash—or if we had to, it wouldn’t happen until our vacation was over and we were on our way back to school.

What can I say? I was a morbid teen.

Thirty-three years and numerous plane rides later, I just boarded a jetliner headed for Waikiki once again. But this flight I’m bound to remember more. Not because anything amazing or tragic happened, but because my keen sense of smell was on full alert for five and a half hours.

Since my three girlfriends and I

The

booked our tickets separately, none of us were seated together.

I didn’t care. I was so tired from barely sleeping the night before and welcomed the chance to read my new book and get some shut-eye.

At first, my plan seemed promising. As soon as I saw where I’d be sitting I was pleased. It was beside the window just as I requested and directly in front of my friend, Jen. It was also next to a nice, friendly couple.

Within less than a minute of sitting down I noticed a rancid odour. I didn’t discover it was coming directly from the mouth of the man next to me until he turned to talk. I decided right then and there that I’d be trying to fall asleep as quickly as possible.

Watching out the window as we took flight I kept my eyes in that direction until we were so high there was nothing interesting to look at anymore. Even though my head was turned away, I could still smell him and I worried how I’d ever fall asleep. I’d brought my earplugs, but nothing for my

nose. If only I had Vicks VapoRub or something to dab on my nostrils.

I did have and a pack of gum and some fruit-flavoured Certs though.

Popping a piece of Trident in my mouth I offered some to the couple. To my relief, they accepted.

Excellent. That smell will be gone in no time, I thought. I was wrong—the gum didn’t help at all. The

candy also resulted in no improvements, and neither did any of the drinks or snacks that came his way.

“How’s it going?” Jen asked a couple hours later when I went for a bathroom break.

“The man next to me has the most horrible breath,” I complained.

“I know,” she said grimacing. “I can smell it.”

If she was getting whiffs of it from where she was sitting, I figured the poor man must have some kind of gum disease or medical condition. I felt bad for him.

With more than three hours left to go until we landed, I continued to keep my head turned away as I read my book, hoping

WITH

I’d eventually nod off.

I never did.

Of course, this wasn’t my first time enduring a lessthan-ideal seating arrangement on public transit. Like everyone, I’ve had many.

My most unpleasant airplane experiences

but it’s the price we pay for sharing a world with other human beings.

Thank goodness we can still order cocktails.

So here I am again, this time with Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr. I will admit that I approached this book with trepidation, but soon I found myself sucked into the world of the Carnival of Souls. It is a place where decadence and violence go hand in hand. Spanning two different worlds, ours, ruled by witches, and another ruled by diamons, Carnival of Souls tells the tale of two fighters and a human girl whose fates may be more entwined than they could have ever imagined. Kaleb and Aya are competitors in the brutal fights of the Carnival. They fight for the chance to become one of the rulers of the City, but there is more on the line than is first apparent. Aya is hiding a terrible secret, and Kaleb would do anything to protect those he loves. Thrown into the mix is Mallory, a seemingly ordinary 17 year old from the human world. She too has secrets to keep. The only difference? She just doesn’t know them yet. Fiercely protected by her witch father, Mallory knows only that she must stay away from diamons at all costs. But when Kaleb enters her life, a mysterious boy whom she is strangely drawn to, Mallory’s world begins to crumble. Filled with twists and turns in the plot, I was kept up far too late trying to find out what happens next.

The complicated hierarchy was a little confusing at first, but I soon figured it out and got back into the gripping tale. However, it is not suitable for younger readers, instead appealing to more mature teens. Laced with intrigue and politics, Melissa Marr weaves a story that keeps readers guessing till the end. And as Kaleb, Aya, and Mallory will soon find out, danger lurks at every turn.

A quarter-century of service

City honours employees from parks and rec, the museum and public works in annual ceremony KATYA SLEPIAN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

From a small town to a big city and back again, it’s been a long journey for director of Parks, Recreation and Heritage Scott Kenny, who celebrated 25 years with the city of Port Alberni at the Nov. 27 council meeting.

Kenny was honoured for his longevity along with fellow city employees Paul Graitson and Neil Ruel from public works and Cathy Bagley from the museum.

Kenny was born and raised in Port Perry, Ont. before receiving a diploma in horticulture from in Niagara Falls and a bachelor in landscape architecture from Cornell University.

“He’s always been a very green gentleman,” said city Ken Watson as

he detailed Kenny’s journey from general manager of an Ontario nursery to Edmonton’s parks and recreation department to Port Alberni’s Parks and Recreation Commission in 1989.

While Kenny claimed he was lured into Port Alberni by the city’s fishing scene, Watson thinks his reasoning might have been a little more weather

dependent.

“I’m thinking it had something to do with his landscaping not being six inches of snow and ice for half the year as well,” Watson said.

Kenny started in Port Alberni as the city’s manager of parks and city operations before assuming his current position as the director of Parks, Recreation and Heritage in 1998.

“In his 25 years of service with the city, Scott has been a key player in the development of Port Alberni, both publicly in his role at the city and privately,” said Watson, adding that Kenny had

Neil Ruel and Paul Graitson have served with the city’s public works department for 25 years each.

been instrumental in the development of key city buildings including the AV Multiplex, Echo Park, Bob Daily Stadium, Spirit Square, Klitsa Ball Field and many of the community’s trails.

Much has changed in Port Alberni since Kenny first came here. When Kenny was promoted, his former position was never filled and the department has continued to reduce ever since, meaning that it had to change it’s strategy.

“We approach it differently now, we’re more about providing assistance to others to get programs done.

We still have a really good core but it’s a challenge for staff,” said Kenny.

“The money’s not there, our budget has stayed pretty flat over the years so you’re trying to get as much as you can done knowing that there are lots of wants and lots of needs.”

Watson also praised Kenny’s volunteer efforts, saying that “it’s hard to keep track of all the things he’s been involved in.

Scott is always there for this community.

His enthusiasm and boundless energy towards all thing promoting Port Alberni have truly been inspirational to

me.”

Kenny also honoured one of his own at the meeting.

Cathy Bagley, museum program assistant with Parks, Recreation and Heritage started with the city at the same time as Kenny.

“Cathy has touched a lot of parts of our department” from being a lifeguard to aquatics leader to her current position at the museum, said Kenny.

“She’s an absolutely wonderful lady, she’s always smiling, full of energy and an absolute pleasure to work with.”

Paul Graitson and Neil Ruel from public works also celebrated

25 years with the city.

Graitson started as a temporary labourer in 1988 before being hired full time in 1990.

He first worked on one of the city’s pump stations, then in the technical engineering group. After being hired full time he helped out with garbage collection and truck driving before switching to roadwork.

“Paul got interested in the concrete side of our operations and for 10 years helped lay down hundreds of metres of concrete sidewalk,” said city engineer Guy Cicon.

Graitson then switched to water works in the mid1990s and has stayed on as the city’s meter/ backflow attendant ever since.

Ruel, currently the city’s backhoe operator, started with the city as a seasonal labourer in 1987 before joining the city full time in 1990 in the streets department.

“We have over a hundred pieces of equipment that you can drive and I’m sure Neil can operate them all,” said Cicon.

Blue Fish Gallery

Home Grown Style at Le Cut Darlene MCGarry the current owner of Le Cut had this to say about work, “I get to come to work and play. I enjoy working with hair, nails and esthetics and meeting the public.” McGarry was raised here arriving in July of 1976. “I attended 8th Ave, EJ Dunn and graduated from ADSS in 1989. I started my hairdressing in October of 1996 at the local Hairdressing School that was on 4th Ave. I graduated from there in October of 1997 and went to work at Le Cut for Beatrice Wade the former owner. While working there part time I took my esthetics course under Michelle and Trudy at the Alberni School of Cosmetology also at 4th Ave. I purchased the business on Sept. 1 of 2005 and changed the name from Le Cut hair Styling by Beatrice to Le Cut hairstyling & Esthetics. Beatrice continues to work here but only a few days a week.” Five years ago McGarry started carrying body jewellery even though she only pierces ears and noses has body jewellery for all parts. She also carries sterling sliver braclets, earrings, rings, necklaces and sets. They also have sets of Murano glass jewellery.

Hair products that are carried include the popular Scruples, Hayashi, Rusk, Cuccio and Babyliss. There are gift packs and China Glaze nail polish kits for Christmas.
