Eat, Sleep, Play

A Parent’s Guide to Back to School In today’s fast-paced environment, finding a good balance in your child’s diet, sleep schedule and playtime requires more effort than ever. But there’s good news from the health and nutrition experts at Memorial Hermann Northwest Hospital. “The old, confusing USDA food pyramid has been replaced with a new online tool for parents who want to know more about healthy eating for kids of all ages,” said Karen Manners, RD, LD, a clinical dietitian at Memorial Hermann Northwest. “On choosemyplate.gov you’ll find a visual explanation of a good diet — half fruits and vegetables and half grains and protein. Parents can type in their child’s age, gender and activity level to create an individualized food plan. The site also has a link for kids with interactive games, activity sheets, videos and songs that teach them about nutrition.” Manners stressed the importance of a healthy breakfast. “Next to sleep and exercise, breakfast is the best way for kids to recharge their batteries,” she said. “Eating breakfast within an hour after they get up gives kids the staying power they need to get a good start on the day. Studies have shown that eating a good breakfast leads to higher school attendance, less tardiness, fewer hunger-induced stomachaches and higher test scores. Kids concentrate better and have better muscle coordination. Breakfast is like filling up the gas tank.” She also encouraged parents to stay involved in their children’s food choices. “It’s important for parents to go over school lunch menus with their kids and steer them toward healthy choices,” she said. “Take your kids grocery shopping and help them choose nutrient-rich foods for their lunches or afterschool snacks. When children are involved in planning meals and snacks, they’re more

likely to eat what we provide. It’s also important to have regular family meals. Research has shown that families that eat together are healthier, maintain a healthier weight and have a closer bond that comes from sharing the events of the day. Eating meals together allows us to be role models for our children in a supportive and encouraging way that promotes healthy eating.” The same thing goes for sleep hygiene. “Good sleep hygiene starts at an early age with a regular bedtime,” said Naureen Ameduddin Brink, D.O., a family practitioner with Memorial Hermann Medical Group in The Heights. “Kids ages 3 to 6 need 10 to 12 hours of sleep a day. Typically, that means a bedtime of between 7 and 9 p.m. Younger children take naps at school, but naptime generally ends in the ﬁrst grade, so

it’s especially important that kids in this age group get enough sleep at home. This is a time when they’re learning the fundamentals — math, reading and writing — that will lead to later success.”

sphere. Among the Saturday ambiance was an opening event for a yoga studio on 19th street, YogaOne Heights. The YogaOne studio is one of ﬁve in the Houston area and is co-owned and directed by Dana Sweet — along side with Albina and Roger Rippy, the founders and owners of YogaOne Studios.

So what does the fourth largest city in the U.S, White Linen Night, and a new yoga studio in the heights have to do with each other?

This is something Dana Sweet knows a thing or two about and has studied for over 10 years. She is your neighbor. And she has a few words I’d like to share with you to consider. The following is a portion of my interview with Co-Owner and Director of YogaOne Heights, Dana Sweet, at her opening event for YogaOne Saturday evening at White Linen Night. Question: What would you want Leader readers to know about your studio and your goals here at YogaOne? What do you have to offer for a healthy environment? Answer: “I think everyone is interested in creating a healthy, balanced and happy lifestyle for themselves and those are the kind of experiences and types of questions we are most interested in at YogaOne.

Ofﬁcials ask community for help to deter mosquitos There has been recent talk about the West Nile Virus in the area. Not too long before that, a new virus, the Chikungunya, was introduced that most aren’t exactly welcoming with open arms. The WNV has been reported in the area, but most recently the virus has been linked in The Woodlands with an aggressive mosquito, The Asian Tiger. Unlike the everyday mosquito that prefers biting birds, The Asian Tiger will bite just about anything. The Asian Tiger is known to carry WNV and about four other viruses. This aggressive mosquito has distinct fea-

tures of white stripes across a black body. Another report is the virus Chikungunya — this name is derived from a Tanzanian language that means “to become contorted.” The virus is mosquito borne that initiates with fever and then progresses to detrimental joint pain. Patients usually recover fully, but is common for joint pain to linger for a few months or, in some cases, years. With these new mosquitos and new viruses popping up — what does this mean for our area with the peak of the mosquito season here? The Mosquito Control Division of Harris County Public Health and

YogaOne celebrates grand opening on 19th Street If you do a quick Google search for “largest cities in the U.S.” you’ll ﬁnd Houston ranked at number four — with a ball-park population estimate of about 2 million. That’s a lot of people. Houston is ranked under New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. When most of us hear the names of those listed cities, we may not immediately make a connection with these sizeable cities and Houston. But Houston is actually a big competitor and this city, our area, has a lot going on. This past weekend, a good portion of those 2 million Houstonians ﬂocked to our area of the Heights to celebrate a night of culture, possibility, and to revel with fellow Houstonians and friends — in being a Houstonian. The event was a sight to see. With live music playing in the middle of streets, art on every block and a general census of a laid back atmo-

Environmental Services is under new leadership with Dr. Mustapha Debboun serving as Director of the mosquito division. Dr. Debboun referenced about 692 mosquitos with the conﬁrmed West Nile Virus out of over roughly 500,000 pulls from mosquito traps. “The mosquito division has found the West Nile Virus in recent trap pulls and collected birds,” Dr. Debboun continues, “There is nothing to be alarmed about with these numbers. We are out there working from Sunday evening to Saturday morning to keep things safe and these numbers are only conﬁrmed in mosquitos and birds, not people.” Dr. Debboun encourages an active

lifestyle and being outside and urges the appropriate precautions with mosquito repellent. Along with appropriate precautions, Dr. Debboun also has another message for the community. “We need help from the community,” Debboun said. “The community can help by emptying buckets, tires, anything that holds water. Empty containers so mosquitos don’t have a place to breed. If you take care of your backyard, but your neighbors don’t, mosquitos will still ﬂy over. So we need everyone to get involved.” For information on how to protect yourself, visit http://www.hcphes. org/hcmosquitoctrl/factsheets.htm.

YogaOne, from P. 1B ment for people to get some quiet with themselves. To dive deep into their body and the physical yoga experience. Also, to see what it’s like to be in a meditation — all of that, in a community setting. So they are on the mat, next to people that probably have kids in the same school. Or maybe they’re on the same road, driving to the same job, but they never really get the chance to connect. So by creating this environment and the commitment to these kinds of ideals, we get to create a space for people to come

together, as a community, and who are experiencing different levels of transformation in the same space.” Question: What do you tell people that don’t usually choose yoga for that breakaway, that outlet from the hustle and bustle? Answer: “I usually use my own life as an example experience. My background is an attorney in the energy industry and I’ve practiced yoga for 10 years. It helped me get through law school. It helped me be a single mom. It really enabled

me to maintain a sense of harmony and a sense of balance. It helped me with challenges as a parent, and as a woman working as an attorney. I could be in a space, or in a challenging work environment, with a lot of stress and choose from moment to moment — because I have a yoga practice. Because I have a breath practice. I choose how I want to show up in that environment. So rather than the stress overcoming me and being reactive, because I have this practice — I am learning, all the time, how

School

to be more responsive rather than reactive. That is how it affects me in my personal life. That’s how it shows up. It’s like you said, it all sounds really good, but what does that really look like?” Question: You have the readers reading, what do you want to tell them? Answer: “Come and check us out. Come and have some fun with us. Consider that there is something here for you that you might not be aware of and come ﬁnd out what that might be.”

10, parents tend to push bedtimes back to accommodate homework and social activities,” she said. “For teens ages 13 to 18, we like to see 8 to 9 hours of sleep a night to prepare them for an active school day.” As for exercise, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Association of Pediatrics both recommend 60 minutes of aerobic activity for kids each day. “Most public schools don’t have PE every day, so parents do need to take on the extra responsibility of ensuring that their kids get an hour’s worth of active play every day, doing whatever they enjoy,” Dr. Brink said. “Exercise helps with quality of sleep, body weight, selfesteem, social skills, hand-eye coordination, health — the list of beneﬁts goes on and on.” To make an outpatient appointment with a clinical dietitian at Memorial Hermann Northwest, please call 713867-3336.

Business Spotlights Pilates, health benefit during pregnancy Pilates is an overall body fitness system that effectively addresses a pregnant woman’s muscle imbalances. Pilates fully integrates the body so effectively that many of its exercises carry over to movements needed in daily life. This helps pregnant women better manage spine pain and keep an old injury from flaring up. Just about any pregnant woman can benefit from a good pilates routine with modifications based on her individual needs. Release in the relaxin hormone, causing laxity in all ligaments, is a big change that happens during pregnancy. This compromises the stability of the spine and pelvis. The

excessive movement associated with this change can lead to pain and inflammation in the lumbar spine and pelvis. Ligamentous laxity increases the chance that the pelvis shifts out of alignment. The stabilization that a rehabilitative pilates program provides can keep the pelvis from constantly getting out of alignment during pregnancy. Body fluid retention must be managed to improve comfort. The increase in the relaxin hormone during pregnancy also contributes to fluid retention. Pilates can train a pregnant woman to brace the spine while moving her arms and legs. People with back pain do not

effectively recruit the transversus abdominus and multiﬁdi muscles, which are imperative to stabilizing the spine. The emphasis on stabilizing the t-muscles that surround the spine helps prevent a diastasis rectus abdominus in the third trimester of pregnancy and the post partum period. If a pregnant woman already has a diastasis rectus abdominus, the pilates approach can help train her to control the separation to manage this dysfunction. Neck pain is another common problem during pregnancy as the breasts enlarge and create more muscle imbalance between the pectorals and scapular stabilizers. Pilates fo-

cuses on engaging the scapular stabilizers. Pilates focuses on engaging the scapular stabilizers while relaxing the upper trapezius that often spasm from overuse. The focus on breath is another beneﬁt of Pilates during pregnancy. Women are more likely to become short of breath during the third trimester as the fetus grows. Being mindful of inhaling and exhaling slowly and deeply using diaphragmatic breathing during all pilates exercises heightens the beneﬁt while improving lung capacity.

The dog days of summer got ya down?

Is the heat beginning to get to you? Are you daydreaming about the crisp, fall days ahead? Well, make the most of summer while you still can and clear your calendar on Saturday, August 16. “Why,” you ask? Well, that’s the date of the 2nd annual Oak Forest Homeowner’s Association’s “Dog (and Cat!) Days of Summer” event at Oak Forest Park (2100 Judiway) from 9 a.m. until noon. This huge event benefits the Oak Forest Animal Advocates, which is a newly-formed animal rescue group in Oak Forest, doing incredible work to help animals in need every day. In addition to a 1 mile doggie fun run, (that begins at 8 a.m.) a silent auction with a multitude of drool-worthy items, tons of fetching--some of them literally--adoptable dogs and cats and the chance to get your pet microchipped, you’ll have more fun than you can shake a rawhide bone at! Find out more on the event’s Facebook page: OFHA’s 2nd Annual Dog and (Cat!) Days of Summer. Summer lovin’ If it seems as though the summer is lingering and you’re finding yourself bored and lonely, it’s not too late to consider adopting a companion animal. This time of the year, many shelters offer sales and specials on their adoption fees, making adopting that much easier. Shelter pets typically go to their new home already spayed or neutered, microchipped and up to date on their vaccinations. If you’ve priced all of these services a la carte at your vet’s office lately, you’ll appreciate what a steal a shelter pet is. Snap to it! By now, you certainly must know how I feel about spaying and neutering your pets. What’s the hold up? SNAP (Spay Neuter Assistance Program) offers low-cost wellness care as well
