One day, you have everything planned, and then life interrupts with a resounding, “Nope, it’s time for a detour.” Life can change in an instant, whether you are ready or not. Sometimes, the detours that impact us most are the detours of others. I recently reconnected with a long time friend. It was great to hear his voice as we laughed together, reminiscing about years past and catching up on life, golf, grand kids, and his son’s upcoming championship football game. You know that little glow nostalgia creates on the inside? I was feeling it. Everything changed the moment he said, “I just got out of the hospital.” “What?” I responded. “Yeah, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I had the surgery. Everything looks good, but this is by far the toughest thing I have ever faced.” The “C” word. It seems no one is immune! Cue my need to know more about how prostate cancer affects men.
It turns out that this year, an estimated 161,360 men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. For unknown reasons, the risk of prostate cancer is 74% higher in black men than in non-Hispanic white men. About 92 percent of prostate cancer is found during the local, or regional, stage when it is confined to the prostate and nearby organs.

In the coming issues and in cities nationwide, we will be devoting significant time and resources to early detection, prevention, and recovery for men affected by prostate cancer. My test is scheduled for January, and I will be taking a friend.
According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in men in the United States. An estimated 26,730 deaths will occur this year. While prostate cancer death rates have declined, it remains more than twice as high in black men than any other group. Keep in mind, a man’s survival depends on the stage of the disease and the specific type of prostate cancer diagnosed.

Rachel celebrated Montclair Bread Company’s 4000th like on Facebook with a doughnut themed 4K in 2014. She had never run before but the running bug bit her that day. She start ed running with a few local friends and realized that running with them was much more fun than going it alone so she created Fueled by Doughnuts. Her goal was to create a community that supported local runners and made it so that they had enough options to never have to run alone. In two years, the group has grown to almost 1500 members many of whom participate in the annual races including the 5k Doughnut Run (12/10 - sold out in 3 hours!), the Baker’s Dozen Half Marathon and Relay (3/25 - still spaces left) and the Baker’s Revenge Trail Runs (2018 schedule TBD).

In addition to the weekly runs, there are several special events throughout the year. Some of the favorites are the scav enger hunt in the spring, Oktoberfest and the annual holiday ugly sweater run and potluck coming up on 12/20.

Obesity & Cancer If FAT Wasn’t Enough! “Shopping for clothes that are anything besides leisure wear is painful” By Selena Ricci
The American Diabetes Association has some great info on losing weight at a healthy pace. They found that just 150 minutes of ex ercise each week and a 5 to 7 percent reduction in body weight via healthy eating can help to reduce your risk of developing diabetes by 60 percent. But this doesn’t mean that you sud denly have to hit the gym 6 times a week and live off of salad. I found that tracking my steps each day with an app on my phone was a great way to get moving.
If you are overweight or obese and the dai ly struggles of being fat haven’t been enough to motivate you to change, then maybe the fear of cancer will. While it’s not always easy, I can guarantee you that it’s all worth it.
While we may live in a time where people are more accepting of others, no one should be okay with tipping the scales so much that they are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than slimmer people. The everyday annoyanc es that come with being fat, like the inability to climb a set of stairs without losing your breath or having to shop at specialty stores for clothing are many –but what about the health risks?In the US, smoking is the only health risk related to cancer that is anywhere near as dan gerous as being overweight or obese. In ad dition to heart disease, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, diabetes and other debilitating health conditions, cancer is a huge threat to people who are overweight and obese. In fact, CDC studies have shown that people who are overweight or obese actually make up about 40 percent of the people diagnosed with cancer each year in the United States. More specifi cally, there are 13 different types of cancer that overweight and obese people are more likely to be diagnosed with. That’s right, 13 different types of cancer. With numbers like that, I knew that I needed to make a change.
There are few things worse than being so fat that you hate looking in the mirror. Shopping for clothes that are anything besides leisure wear is pain ful and don’t get me started on what it’s like to get winded when you bend down to tie your shoelaces. Even if you somehow manage to find clothes that you feel slightly confident in, you’ll quickly get thrown back down to earth when you realize that you have to purchase an extra seat every time you fly.

The embarrassment of having people stare at me as the airline hostess explained that I was making other passengers uncomfortable due to my size was the most horrifying thing I had ever dealt with. While it was one of those mo ments where I realized that the weight was too much, reading about a recent CDC study on the cancer risks for overweight and obese people was the moment I decided to change.
After I started moving more, I decided to make better choices surrounding food as well. To kick off my healthy eating experiment, I start ed counting my calories. This helped me to quickly understand that even when I was eating healthy, I was eating portions that were way too big. By working closely with my doctor on a diet and exercise plan, I was able to improve my heart function and reduce my risk of devel oping those 13 types of cancer.

With all of the different everyday challenges I faced as a “fat” person, the wake-up call that I needed to get healthy began with that CDC study.

medication is of no use... With the wrong food, the doctor is of no help. This is the general idea stipulated by the Ayurvedic medicine. This statement perfectly aligns with the opinions and beliefs of many people from the scientific community among others.
Speaking of diet, many studies revealed that people who repeat edly go for extreme deprivation to lose weight only get results for a short-term basis, and then get the weight back due to the ‘’yoyo effect’’. In fact, good nutrition is more about quality, di versity than extreme deprivation of certain foods, in which case the body is often depleted from essential nutrients. Moreover, “ consistently eating right (and working out) are the pillars of looking and feeling better.” And the keyword here is ‘’consis tently’’: consistency is the solution for achieving this goal; it is the difference between eating healthy all day every day, versus doing so once in a while. That being said, nutrition somehow is to health what gasoline is to a car. This is fundamentally the human fuel. And with this, comes the concept of quality. By analogy, the quality of our food intake on a daily basis is more likely to guarantee longterm health than the other way around, the same way as proper, clean and high-grade gasoline is more likely to ensure the lon gevity and efficiency of a car motor. Finally, since we cannot live without food, isn’t good nutrition necessary for a good health? Dr.

Acts a powerful appetite suppressant, keeping calorie intake loss. Second, it blocks the enzymes that are responsible for fat storage, so “sheds”fat naturally.
Frederic Saldmann, a French cardiologist, nutritionist and speaker addressed relentlessly the virtues of food and even insisted that it is the most powerful and effective medication: “You are a power of nature without knowing it”. And this is a reinforcement of a concept outlined in many books such as ‘’The best medicine, it’s you!’’, ‘’ Take your health in hand’’, ‘’Your health without risk’’, among others. Besides, all these books promote the nutrition aspect of adopting specific diets to achieve and maintain good health while staving off various chronic diseases and even cancer.

After earning his degree at Jersey City University, he had the choice of going to medical school or dental school and his choice was clear. With dental school, he wouldn’t have to worry about the burden of tuition, while medical school offered much less financial help. Feeling that he could make a great impact in the lives of others through dentistry, Osuala went on to attend the University of Medicine and Dentistry. He told him self, “I’ll try dental school for 2 years and if I don’t like it, I can always go back home.”

Along with his longtime Lead Dental Assistant, Myriam Deshonees, Dr. Osuala works to make each patient feel comfortable and relaxed during each visit to his practice. Most of the patients at Supreme Dental are referrals, something that gives Dr. Osuala great pride. Once he’s treated one family member, it is not uncommon for them to bring their loved ones to come visit Dr. Osuala with all of their oral health needs. After many years serving the Orange, NJ community, his unique one-on-one approach to patient care has helped him to easily grow his practice. Creating lasting professional relationships is also something that is very important to Dr. Osuala and his staff.

“We ’re concerned about people who don’t have cars and those who, like my daughter, might not be driving yet but need to get around independently,” says Laura Torchio, a past president and current board member. “Speed is more of a problem than volume,” she adds. So the group works with the township to support “traffic calming” measures— narrowing lanes and adding curb exten sions, for example—which work better than speed limits to slow drivers down. Farming promotes health, too.

Mayo Clinic. Instead of moving into the person’s cells where it is needed for energy, sugar builds up in the bloodstream.
“Too often, pre-diabetes is dismissed or not taken seriously,” said Dr. Jim Lederer, Vice President of clinical improvement for Novant Health, a non-profit healthcare organization. “Early diagnosis and intervention are critical to reduce the chances of developing diabetes and the inevitable complications that come with the disease.”

FACTS According to the American Diabetes Association, every 21 sec onds, someone is diagnosed with diabetes. Nearly 21 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes; almost one-third, or 6.2 million people, are unaware they have the disease. Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels that result from defects in the body’s abil ity to produce and/or use insulin.

The Fighter
Civil rights attorney, Ali Freeman is familiar with fighting for others. But when diabetes attacked his health, he discovered that his toughest battle yet would be to spar for his own life.
FAMILY Early on Freeman understood that diabetes, the number four killer amongst African Americans was present in his family history. His mother, a diabetic amputee lost her battle with the disease, dying of renal failure at the tender age of 53. For this reason, Freeman never drank alcohol or used drugs. Still, be Ali Freeman, an undisputed medical champion has faced a series of hard-hitting medical blows as a re sult of being a diabetic. Particularly, complete loss of vision in one eye, level-five kidney failure and a quadruple by-pass heart surgery. The health heavyweight has a strong desire to inform others about the seriousness of the silent Sittingkiller.upright in a light blue dialysis chair, Freeman exhales while peering at the needle that enters his left arm. For the past seven months, three days a week, four hours each day, he visits Beaumont Hospital for the routine procedure. He is hooked up to a dialysis machine that performs the function of eliminating toxins and excess fluid from the body, a task that kidney failure limits his body of completing alone. Freeman often wishes that he would have followed his advice. At 32 years-old, Freeman was diagnosed as a type-2 diabetic. He was given a glucose meter and began taking Glugophage and Lisinopril for maintenance. While Freeman attended reg ular doctor’s appointments, he did not test his blood sugar as often as he was instructed to. According to Freeman, two de cades ago the cost of the testing strip was pricey. Each strip was $1.25 testing four to five times per day would cost him between $35 and $50 per week, which was out of his budget. Therefore, instead of testing four to five times per day, he tested four to five times per week.

The blood of a diabetic runs like syrup, very slow, making it hard to get to each part of the body. The smaller limbs, such as the toes, legs and feet often go without oxygen, which leads to amputation. In Freeman’s case, blood was not flowing into the tiny vessels of the eyes or kidneys. Having experienced the burst of blood ves sels in his eyes, Freeman felt his vision worsening. In an attempt to save his sight he had laser eye surgery. Ultimately, he lost com plete vision in one eye.
Determined to combat diabetes, Freeman instantly changed his diet and physical activity. Daily, he walked three miles, cut sugars and unhealthy carbohydrates. One year later, Freeman had shed a whopping fifty pounds. When he went back to the doctor, he no longer needed insulin or blood pressure pills. His A1C1 reading 6.4 was good, his diabetic flow finally controlled.
Architect Studios was born in 2010 with the intention of creating a place where anyone at any fitness level would be welcome and accepted but also pushed to their maximum. Over three years later, it’s grown into the hottest HIIT studio in New Jersey.
Hearts were all over the shelves inside of Walgreen’s, some filled with chocolates and others on the front of greeting cards. Freeman went in to develop photos and left with yet another stinging blow. The pharmacist voice over the loud speaker kept announcing that the store was doing free blood pressure checks. He would have ignored it, had she only said it once, but over and over he was reminded that it was fast and free. Freeman’s blood pressure read was, 200/170 way out of normal range. He was sent directly to the hospital. On that day, he found out that he was at a LEVEL FIVE kidney failure and immediately put on dialysis. According to Freeman, his doctor’s words were honest and direct, “If you do not get this under control, you will die very early”.
ROUND III
A conversation about an unexpected birthday gift would lead Free man to another gut-wrenching discovery. Lauren Wilson, decided that she would make her 31st birthday memorable by donating one of her kidneys to her father. But before the two could undergo the surgery, Freeman would need to have a cardiac catherization, to make sure that his heart could withstand the kidney transplant. The heart check showed alarming results, both of Freeman’s coro nary arteries were blocked. The left artery was blocked 75 percent and the right – a staggering 90 percent. Freeman underwent a qua druple bypass surgery that relieved both blocked arteries. After two months of recovery, Freeman received cardiac clearance –just in time to walk his little girl down the aisle.
Freeman’s medical history is extensive, his physical and emo tional journey very long. Still, he stands, 6’3 inches of determi nation and strength. As he prepares for his forthcoming kidney transplant, he understands the complications and challenges that lie ahead - armed with endurance, he’s prepared. “I don’t worry about what could happen, I could have had a heart attack but God didn’t want me to. I could have stroked out, but God didn’t want me to. I’m still here, because God wants me to be”.
Architect Studios has over 40 classes on the schedule that are all based on the H.I.I.T. formula. This simply means that you go to your maximum capacity for a set period of time.

Debra’s diagnosis was stage 2 breast cancer, for which she underwent 18 months of treatment. “This disease is known to be very aggressive in women of color. Our tu mors tend to be more aggressive. That’s another reason why our community is disproportionately affected... we have a higher mortality rate from this disease than Cau casian women,” she says. Debra had a lumpectomy after getting three professional opinions. After the lumpecto my, she went through eight sessions of chemotherapy, scheduled every two weeks. After chemo, she start ed daily radiation, Monday thru Friday, for six weeks.
There was urgency in the voice mail message from her primary care physician, telling her to follow up with a breast specialist immediately. She makes an appointment with the specialist, but the news is still unreal: “You have cancer.” While the doctor talks about the next step, Deb ra feels like she’s having an out-of-body experience. Her first impulse is to schedule the biopsy for another time, but the doctor is having none of it, and is ready with the syringe. Afterward, the doctor speaks of surgery, chemo and the rest, but she was going through emotional over load. Returning to work after the appointment, she tells her supervisor about her diagnosis and starts to cry.

She’d had false alarms before, because her breasts tended toward the cystic, but she knew this needed checking and soon ar ranged for a mammography.
“as a woman who had always been on top of her game in terms of her appearance, losing hair was hard.”

Debra is conscious of her diet, exercises daily, and em braces overall wellness as a lifestyle. “Building and main taining my spirituality is very important to my well-being also. I have a strong faith and am grateful to my heavenly Father for all that He has done for me by bringing me through a life changing experience,” she says.
“Debra is conscious of her diet, exercises daily, and embraces overall wellness as a lifestyle.”
Eleven years have passed since Debra became a breast cancer survivor. Now, she helps others on the journey as she herself was helped. Along with her family, who stayed strong and were always there for her, she relied on the Sisters Network of Central New Jersey. These days, she lives life with the understanding that she must stay relentless in being physically active. She never takes life, or time, for granted. “I know that each day is a gift. I know that each day that I am healthy and able to get out of bed on my own and get myself to work and put in a productive day is a blessing from God,” she says. do your research and take care of yourself So what advice does Debra have for the thousands of women – and men – who will find out they have breast cancer this year? Get your tablets, laptops, mobile de vices or pen and paper and do your research,” she says. Look up the doctors you plan to see, and check out at least three facilities, if possible, where you can go for care. Always get a second opinion, no matter how rep utable your initial breast specialist. Be selfish as you go through the cancer journey, as you take your well-being into your own hands. Remove yourself from toxic people and situations, if you want complete healing. Cancer is a blessing as well as a curse, as it can lead to development of your spiritual growth.

As a woman who had always been on top of her game in terms of her appearance, losing hair was hard. One Sunday in the midst of her chemo treatments she went to church, wearing a hat to disguise her bald head. Everyone was happy to see her, but she was over whelmed with fear that the hat would fall off. That night, she experienced a bit of divine intervention. A music awards show was on TV, and Melissa Etheridge, also go ing through chemo, was onstage rocking and completely bald. “From that moment on, I felt encouraged and em powered to wear my bald head with pride. After seeing her, I wore it as a badge of honor. That’s what God can do,” she says.

Attacking obesity early is key to preventing many of the worst health effects. Many workplaces have begun to offer savings in health insurance costs for employees who meet certain wellness criteria. Brenda Price, an overworked accountant, was thrilled when her office joined a wellness cooperative. She says that some co-workers just want to slim up for the summer, but she knows several people who have diabetes and high blood pres sure linked directly to obesity. Many programs offer access to healthy eating and lifestyle education classes, along with access to local fitness centers. It is common for workplaces to support weight loss initiatives through proper diet and exercise. Hospitals and wellness centers often offer classes on adopting and maintaining healthy lifestyles.

can Heart Association reports that “more than one-third (about 35%) of U.S. adults are obese (more than 78 million adults).” Perhaps even more disturbing is that almost 32% of 2 to 19-year old in the United States fall into the overweight or obese catego ries. Continuing to carry too much fat for long periods of time begins to harm how well many body systems function. Besides heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and stroke are more common in people who are overweight.

At the age of 38, Nicole Harmon decided it was time she learned first hand what drew so many people to the gym. She had struggled with her weight since middle school, and each new fad diet just caused the yo-yo effect. Each new stage of life added fat that never seemed to stay off for long. Being considered obese drained her both emotionally and physically. Knee braces and ankle wraps could not keep up with her worn joints. Her biggest wor ry came the day her doctor diagnosed her with heart disease.

SeArCHing For A HeALTHy LiFeSTyLe Harmon began the search for a fitness center close to her home. She settled on a local gym in Essex County but was admittedly concerned about the stares she knew she’d get. “There was no doubt in my mind that the judgment would be palpable. I could not have been more wrong,” she said. According to Har mon, the seasoned members made her feel like she belonged from day one. If she was feeling discouraged, they filled the gap and provided the motivation she needed to keep moving forward toward her weight loss goals. After going from 283 lbs to 176 lbs in 14 months, she’s thrilled with her progress. “I knew it was time to start this journey because I only have one heart, and it was beginning to fail,” she said. “Transitioning to a healthy lifestyle was tough at first, but eventually I realized how much easier it was to do things like walk up the stairs at work. Seeing the physical benefits of exercise in the mirror was a bonus.” There were no Copyscape matches found.

The holidays can be a difficult time to face if you’re trying to watch your weight. All those delectable treats and goodies at every meal can be tough to pass up. You can indulge a bit at the holidays even if you’re trying to practice healthy eating habits. After all, you don’t want to have extra pounds to shed with a brand new health resolution after New Years. Here are 5 tips for healthy eating to get you through the holidays. avoid overeating
FIvE TIPS For AT THE HealthyHolidaysEating
37www.hwfessex.com
The best way to put a firm obstacle on the road to obesity is to really stop overeating. It’s all about mindful awareness of when you are just about full. When you are eating, you don’t want to get overly full. Once you feel that total full ness, you’ve already overeaten. Learn to stop when you feel satisfied, but not grossly full. This can be done with some practice. Another bonus tip is that when you are at a holiday gathering for a meal, only eat half of what is on your plate. Save the rest in a “doggie bag” or bring your own reusable to-go container to take the rest for later. make good suBstitutions This is easier said than done, but you can do it! A little bit of confidence goes a long way. Making good substitutions can be as easy as choosing a healthy choice over a less healthy one. For example, when faced with an appetizer platter, fo cus on beneficial and filling vegetable choices instead of fried foods, cured meats, or fat-filled cheeses. Salsa over creamy dips. Fruit for dessert instead of pie. prepare traditional dishes With a healthy spin If you are tasked with bringing a dish or making the whole meal you obviously have more sway over what you make. When you prepare traditional dishes with a healthy spin, it can make the meal much better for you. Things like cauliflower macaroni and cheese, gravy made without butter, or desserts baked with apple sauce instead of oil are a few options. There are so many great substitutions you can make that you’ll never be hungry or feel like you’re missing out. never go to a party starving This is a great tip to prevent binge eating at parties. Always have a healthy snack before you go. Make sure as well that you’re drinking lots of water because sometimes thirst can be mistaken as hunger. stop stressing Stress can be a contributor to weight gain. With that being said, stop stressing about the actual holiday dates. Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day are only three days. It’s just a few days to worry about, so make sure you enjoy time with family and friends without worrying excessively about your weight loss. Those are the days to splurge a little, if you’re able to watch your healthy eating plan the rest of the holiday season.

What’s inTrending Medical trends will help you improve your health and well-being Health
Swww.hwfessex.comomeofthebiggesthealthcare and medical trends for 2018 have nothing to do with gadgets or new medical techniques. The increased number of generics that will be released over the next few years is due to the expira tion of the original patents. This, combined with the abundance of new, technological advancements, are two of the most im portant trends when it comes to reducing the cost, as well as the effectiveness of medical treatment plans. The following trends affect all types of healthcare ranging from effective treatment options for managing pain to lifestyle tools that make living healthy easy and cost-effective.
genetic testing for personalized medical care
apps and exercise Devices like the new Fitbit Ionic® Watch combines the latest apps with the features of your smartphone. The apps in the past were primarily to help individuals who were trying to regain their place in the gym. Newer, more advanced apps are being designed to track the person’s progress and communicate with your trainer even when they can’t be present. They can also share information with your primary care provider.

Cardiologists can now have the technology to place small wire less sensors directly into the pulmonary artery. This allows it to measure the amount of pressure in the artery and send data directly back to the doctor where it can be used to prevent se rious heart attacks or other types of cardiovascular/pulmonary distress.
Platelet-rich plasma injections use the patients own stem cells and growth factoring agents to stimulate healing on a cellular level. Although it has been used over the past few years, the procedure has become more popular because it uses the patients own cells to elicit a healing response.
Much like the apps we use to monitor our exercise and weight loss patterns, there are programs for our phones and tablets that allow us to communicate effectively with our healthcare pro viders. This type of mobile healthcare allows you to visit your doctor when a physical visit to the doctor isn’t possible.

Advancements in genetic testing have made it cost-effective for the development of personalized treatment plans. Doctors can now order genetic testing that allows them to customize a patient’s treatment plan according to their exact body chem istry and structural make-up. Genetic testing can identify the potential risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other serious health conditions.

The Mommy Makeover program gives you the ability to get your body and mental health back in line. While the program initially was created to help moms to get their pre-baby body back soon after birth, this program is designed for those who have just had a baby, those who don’t have a lot of time for themselves, those who are overweight, and women who have put off caring for themselves long term. It’s the ideal way to get back to who you wish to be even if you are a busy housewife, caregiver, career-fo cused, or frustrated mother. Boost your fitness, and get healthy.
A MoMMy MAkeover WiLL MAke 2018 THe yeAr you THrive Let’s take a moment to consider what you could do in the New Year to achieve more of what you want with a better version of yourself. A Mommy Makeover is an excellent step in the right di rection. It’s your first step, in fact, towards creating a life that you can be happy with, proud of, and determined to make a success.
WHy WoMen puT everyone eLSe FirST Deep within your parenting belief system is an ingrained be lief that says, in short, that you should be putting everyone else first. You believe your children should always come first. It’s not wrong to feel like this. However, at the end of the day, you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and defeated. No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to get it all done. Eventually, this creates burnout and a high stress factor. This turns into health issues, low self-esteem, and a strained household. And, you’re still trying to do your best.

MoMMy akeover
In 2018, 80 percent of Americans will create New Year’s Reso lutions focused on health and wellness. The Mommy Makeover should be your first resolution.
Many women, especially mothers, find joy and suc cess in providing for their family’s needs. This of ten means putting in long hours, spending countless nights up dealing with crying children, and balanc ing full-time work with homework and housework. It’s not easy. And, you wouldn’t change what you do. Yet, at the end of the day, there’s no time for the things you, personally need. You may lack time to get a good night’s sleep. You may struggle with exercise, nutrition, and social events. “It’s okay. I’m doing this for my fam ily.” Yet, this isn’t best for you or your family.
When you enroll in Mommy Makeover, you’ll work with cer tified trainers that provide a fun, engaging program with other moms just like you. It’s a fast, efficient way of accomplishing your health goals whether they are to get fit, lose weight, or build muscle tone. Best of all, you’ll gain confidence and hap piness along the way.

Founder Adrienne Felder taught group exercise classes for over 15 years in the competitive and tough fitness world and realized that it wasn’t always easy to fit in and feel welcome. This motivated her to develop a place where people felt at home and could reach their goals without fear of judgement.
StudiosArchitect was born in 2010 with the intention of creating a place where anyone at any fitness level would be welcome and accepted but also pushed to their maximum. Over three years later, it’s grown into the hottest HIIT studio in New Jersey.
After teaching large classes in several regional fitness chains, Adrienne conceptualized an intimate place where every person felt like they were receiving one-on-one training. That place is architect studios: a place built on love, laughter and (A LOT) of sweat.
