September denotes the end of summer and the beginning of back to school, back to work and back to business. FM Stride kicked off the school year with our Back to…Business, School and Play—Fall Fashion Shoot. We partnered up with Ultimate Image Modeling to bring you the hottest trends, styles and colors how you look and feel.

This month FM Stride really turned the corner and jam-packed the magazine with great content, photos and resources for you to utilize to your full advantage. We hit the streets, searching out experts in the industry to bring you a unique perspective of overall health and lifestyle in the FM area.

We are also spreading the good news by getting you the information you need, when you need it. FM Stride has amped up distribution to over 600 locations around the Fargo-Moorhead area, with over 10,000 magazines in distribution and only publication in over 17 Subway locations around town. Along with our event distribution at the FM Redhawks and Fargo Force, FM Stride is the most widely distributed health & lifestyle magazine in the FM area. We bring the information to you!

Once again, we would like to thank you, Fargo-Moorhead, for your support and readership and all the great feedback you have provided. We will continue to put forth our best effort to give you quality information in a timely fashion. We also appreciate everyone who has partnered with us to make FM Stride a success.

PARENTS AND CHILDREN ARE YOU READY FOR BACK TO SCHOOL?

What does back to school mean in your household? For me, it’s back to a routine (a busy one at that!), back to sporting events, back to packing lunches (for most, school lunches), back to waiting for the weekends so everyone can get caught up on sleep…so on and so forth.

For many, back to school also means back to dealing with structure, exercise restriction, low nutrient lunches, and many times, sickness. Believe it or not, there is a lot of stress that accumulates for your child; whether your child’s teacher has recommended antipsychotic medications (ADHD, ADD, OCD) or your child is required to expend pent-up energy (with gym class only one time per week), stress levels can build fast. Then there’s the stress of managing school, homework, sports, social activities, family schedules...for parent and child alike, it is a lot to handle.

9

HERE ARE A FEW CATEGORIES TO MAKE SURE YOU START THE 2011-12 SCHOOL YEAR ON THE RIGHT FOOT:

XDO A BACKPACK CHECK.

Your child’s backpack should not weigh more than 15% of the child’s bodyweight.

Make sure both straps are secure and tight over the shoulders.

A heavy backpack causes neck pain, mid back and sometimes low back pain, depending on how big the backpack is.

X EAT WHOLE FOOD AS

MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND DRINK WATER Pack lunches when possible Eat breakfast at home – whole grain, protein and fruit Drink water all day. Send a water bottle to school if allowed. Children should drink ½ of their bodyweight in ounces of water per day.

X GOODPRACTICE POSTURE Draw an imaginary line from the side of the body starting at the ear. That imaginary line should pass through the ear to the middle of shoulder to the hip to the knee and the arch of the foot. When there is imbalance, this is telling you that your child is under stress; causing posture changes.

While sitting, work towards your shoulder blades touching the back of the seat, whether in a car or a desk.

Keep your eyes looking forward. When looking up or down constantly, the curve in your neck changes, which may focus and concentration in school.

How do you know if your child is in pain? Call Dr. Tiffany at 701.893.3150 to check the stress level of your child and develop a plan together to create a better stress-free life for your child.

THE SCIENCE OF SUCCESS North Dakota State College of Science offers many programs at its campuses in Fargo and Wahpeton such as: Associate’s Degrees in liberal arts, career and technical programs and an “adult learners” program—designed for on-the-go learners.

We also have a 2 mile fun walk for those who want to come out to support the event, but who don’t necessarily want to be competitive.

Where does the money go and what is it used for?

All the funds raised go directly to the Roger Maris Cancer Center.

The money is not only for cancer research, but is also used for support at the center. Our palliative care unit is supported by the event. This includes a beverage cart for our patients during treatment, massage therapy and other amenities provided by the Roger Maris Cancer Center.

What about volunteers for the event?

We have hundreds of volunteers help us throughout the event. We are also looking for more volunteers for the run/walk, and are open to anyone who wants to come out to support us.

BROWN RICE, NOT NOT WHITE RICE! THAT Although white rice may be more appealing to the eye, the body is pleading for the nutrients from the brown rice. White rice is bleached and stripped of the nutrients in the bran layers, only leaving the starchy endosperm.

BAKED POTATO CHIPS, NOT FRIED POTATO NOT THAT CHIPS! Baked chips have considerably fewer fats than fried chips; they also contain fewer calories. It is best to avoid foods and snacks that are deep fried in oil.

While it may add high-fructose corn syrup can lead to health problems such as dental cavities or diabetes, and it can really throw a wrench in your diet. Although you are tempted to go for the orange juice in the morning, FM Stride would like to encourage you to make the healthy selection and go for good old H2O.

FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, NOT FROZEN! NOT Fresh fruits and vegetables THAT are always a better alternative than the frozen. Many studies have shown that the closer the produce to the source it was grown, the more nutrients it possesses.

For instance, if you get your produce from a local farmer, there is a good chance that it will be fresher and contain more nutrients than the produce shipped from across the country.

Group Fitness is so popular because people know what they are going to get when they come; they know that for 45-60 minutes they will get a complete workout.

Plus, being in a group is very motivating and fun!

The energy and motivation from being in a group is contagious, which makes the workout more fun and gives you a great workout.

FRESHMAN

COLLEGE CAFETERIAS IN THE AREA OFFER HEALTHY SELECTIONS, LEAVING THE STUDENTS RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE THE HEALTHY CHOICE

College Cafeterias

Thousands of freshman students have moved into their dorms; unfortunately, for many freshmen, with the unpacking of boxes comes a packing on of weight.

Everyone dreads the infamous freshman 15, but it’s time to stop this dreaded custom. College cafeterias are notorious for unchanging. Cafeterias are adopting a more health conscious, organic approach to the way students are fed.

Elbert Smith, executive chef at MSUM, explains how MSUM has drastically redesigned their dining hall and food service. As an example, the cafeteria has eliminated hydrogenated oil and butter and instead uses 100 percent pure olive oil. These changes are taking place at all the schools around the FM area.

All of the cafeterias around town have gone trayless in an effort to reduce water and waste. Accord-

Healthy Choices ing to Concordia’s dining hall web site, going trayless has reduced food waste by 26.4 percent.

However, the changes don’t stop with just food waste and how food is cooked. More choices are available.

Smith, a Paris Cordon Bleu educated chef—and a vegetarian, has made sure to offer vegetarian and vegan choices to all students. These choices are available to college students for a healthier alternative.

“We’re giving kids the options,” said Smith. “They have the option to eat healthy.”

Cafeterias are also offering a wider variety. Concordia has a “world foods” section that changes constantly, offering various tastes of other cultures.

MSUM offers fresh sushi.

Campuses are working hard to take away that cafeteria feel.

MSUM’s new cafeteria is making healthy changes, now it’s the students job to make the healthy choice.

“We want it to feel like a restaurant,” Smith explains.

The main reason the freshman 15 attacks students isn’t because of the lack of healthy food choices, but because of the choices students make.

Hamburgers, fries and ice cream are all still offered, that won’t change.

What needs to change is the way students look at what they’re eating.

Students need to remember that the right choices are available. Follow the FDA’s guideline for a healthy plate by making half of the food choice fruits and vegetables, at least half of the grains whole wheat and be sure to vary protein choices. Do all this and the freshman 15 will be a thing of the past. As Smith points out, weight gain or loss is all about the choices students make.

Going out to eat can ruin anyone’s diet but if you’re careful where you go and what you order, going out to eat can be healthier than any meal at home.

Island Fusion is not a retail health store. They want to be very clear on that. They do not pressure people to come in, but rather willingly accepts referrals and walk-ins from people who want to try their Herbalife selection.

BioLife Plasma Services When you donate plasma where does it go? The staff at FM Stride was asking ourselves the same question a month ago, so we decided to do some homework. As we learned, plasma serves many purposes, but ultimately it is used to save lives. Take a behind the scenes look at BioLife Plasma Services and discover how your plasma serves a greater cause.

QA &

KAYLA BEEHLER Regional Marketing Representative Kayla started at BioLife in 2006 and has been in a number of roles, the latest being a Regional Marketing Rep.

Plasma donors are individuals in need of money.

On the contrary, plasma donors often have a personal connection or reason for donating. Many donors have donated for years, even decades.

To donate plasma, an individual must be at least 18 years of age, weigh at least 110 pounds and pass all other required donor eligibility criteria, such as: virus scans, medical history questioning and vital checks.

The body replaces the plasma removed during the donation process quickly; therefore, healthy individuals can donate as often as twice in a seven-day period, with at least one day between donations.

Plasma is processed into a wide variety of life-saving therapies that people every day. Plasma-based therapeutics are used in the treatment of serious disorders such

cess, usually takes about two hours.

Repeat donors can expect to spend about an hour in the center, with the average plasmapheresis process taking around 45 minutes.

It can only be obtained from healthy adults.

Plasma donors help save lives.

For new donors, the entire plasma donation process, including a physical examination, donor screening and the plasmapheresis pro57

Before a donor is accepted into the BioLife Plasma Services donor program, he or she must pass a medi-

cal examination and a member of BioLife’s medical staff must evaluate the donor’s medical history.

During each subsequent visit, a staff member checks the donor’s vital signs and the donor answers questions about their medical history.

In addition, the donor’s hematocrit (the percentage of blood volume occupied by red blood cells) and plasma protein levels are

checked. These steps help ensure the safety of the donor and protect the recipients of the therapies processed from their plasma. Each donation procedure uses sterile and disposable collection materials.

Plasma is collected through a process called plasmapheresis. When donating plasma, whole blood is withdrawn from the body. The whole blood is then separated

www.biolifeplasma.com into plasma and the other whole blood elements using a sterile system.

The plasma is retained and other whole blood elements – red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets – are returned to the donor during the plasmapheresis process. The plasmapheresis process takes about 20-40 minutes longer than a whole blood donation.

Donating plasma is a low-risk procedure with minimal or no side ef-

fects. Eating a well-balanced meal and drinking plenty of water before your donation can help reduce side effects.

The best way to reduce side effects, like light-headedness, when donating plasma is to make sure your body is properly hydrated. Be sure to eat a healthy meal no more than three hours before giving plasma. Avoid consuming caffeinated beverages

Although Fargo-Moorhead is lacking on its lakes, it makes up for it with their pools available for swimming.

The YMCA’s have pools for members, but thankfully Concordia and MSUM have times for free public lap swimming and they even times for open swim so the whole family can come play. These pools have lifeguards on duty to protect everybody.

Times vary depending on where you go. Look on the school’s website for times.

pice up family fun by checking out the Fargo Parks Fall Festival this September.

Making Scarecrow hats, decorating pumpkin cookies and carnival games are all waiting for families at Rheault Farm this September. Alison Bakke, Program Coordinator for the Fargo Parks, explains that the Fall Festival put on by the Fargo Parks is scheduled to take place the last two weekends in September. The Festival will be happening from 10am-5pm Saturday and 12-5pm Sunday.

This free festival features events for all ages for families to come enjoy. There is free admission but for some of the games and rides a wristband is required for $5.50. Concessions are available and can be bought with tickets purchased for $.25 each.

Bakke wants parents to bring their children to get lost in the straw

bale maze, made up of over 250 bales, or to take horse drawn rides or ride on the Barrel train together. This activity is one of the last times Rheault farm is available for the season until Mr. and Mrs. Claus take over in December with their Santa Village.

The rides and games aren’t the only reason to come to Rheault Farm. This historic farmstead was originally built in 1918 but has been owned by the Fargo Parks since 1979. This site is the perfect spot for families to come and enjoy themselves. It offers a picnic shelter, playground, brick farmhouse, barn and more. Come play games and explore this historic farmstead Sept. 17-18 and Sept. 24-25.
