Joint Replacement Surgery

What To Know About Joint Pain

Joint replacement surgery involves removing a damaged joint and putting in a new one. It’s usually done by an orthopaedic surgeon. Sometimes, the surgeon will not remove the whole joint, but will only replace or fix the damaged parts.

Joint pain often indicates arthritis. Common types are osteoarthritis, gout and rheumatoid arthritis. Other diseases or injuries can also lead to joint pain. As you age, joint pain becomes more common as well.

The new joint, called a prosthesis, can be made of plastic, metal or ceramic. It may or may not be cemented into place, and your bone will grow into it. New joints generally last at least 10 to 15 years.

Fortunately, you can do a lot to feel better and stay active, even if you have these problems. How To Feel Better • Exercise, moving all your joints. Walking helps circulation, supports the joints and strengthens the muscles. • If you have a sore joint, you can use an ice pack or a bag of frozen vegetables on the sore spot. • Do your best to maintain a weight that is right for you, since too much

Abduction Awareness-Protect Your Children

s you prepare to send your child back to school, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has some powerful information for families that can help keep children safer.

has teamed up with Honeywell to develop an innovative program called Kid Smartz™. It uses tips, role-playing, video animations, song and dance to give kids the knowledge and confidence to avoid abduction.

NCMEC has analyzed more than 9,000 confirmed attempted child abductions by someone unknown to the child. While these abductions are rare, important patterns emerged during the nine-year analysis, including the fact that many attempts took place when children were going to and from school-and that most children who escaped an abduction ran, screamed or pulled away.

KidSmartz.org teaches children four important rules: Always check with a parent, guardian or other trusted adult before going anywhere; take a friend along; tell people “NO” if they try to touch or hurt you; and tell a trusted adult if anything makes you feel uncomfortable.

Using the insights gleaned from this analysis—for example, most children were offered rides or candy by their would-be abductors—NCMEC

Nine Tips To Help You Make A Smooth Move

M

illions of Americans move to a new home every year. The next time you’re among them, you may be able to save time, trouble and money if you heed a few hints on driving a moving truck. These come from the experts at Penske Truck Rental: 1. Give yourself plenty of time. Chances are, the trip will take longer than the GPS predicts. Be aware of when rush hour is likely to be in communities you’ll drive through. 2. Sit awhile before you drive. Don’t take off until you’ve familiarized yourself with all the truck’s switches and gauges. Make sure the mirrors are properly adjusted. 3. Watch out for blind spots. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration points out that trucks have oversized blind spots known as the “NoZone.” Bear these in mind, especially when changing lanes or coming to a stop. 4. The things you carry. Truck rental agreements generally include language from the U.S. Department of Transportation prohibiting the “carrying or hauling of explosives and other dangerous articles.” That means don’t pack such flammable items as paint, chemicals, cleaning materials, solvents, propane, gasoline and so on. Your rental agent can help you tell

whether something you want to bring along is allowed. 5. Be smart about size. “Trucks are taller, wider and may weigh up to 10 times more than the average car,” explained Don Mikes, senior vice president–rental, Penske Truck Leasing. They also take longer to stop. Ease off of the accelerator early when approaching a stop. This also helps keep your cargo from shifting. 6. Protect your property. “Most insurance and credit card companies won’t cover truck rentals under existing policies,” Mikes added. If your insurance company is among them, consider signing up for additional coverage options to protect yourself and your belongings. You may feel more confident knowing that his company offers free 24/7 emergency roadside assistance. 7. Look for a sign. Pay attention to road signs pertaining to trucks such as weigh station stops, truck or lane restriction signs and overhead clearance postings. 8. Park smart. Set the emergency brake every time. 9. Learn more. You can find further useful moving facts and tips at www. PenskeTruckRental.com. - (NAPSI)

Recycled Tires Provide Eco-Friendly Path in Yellowstone National

V

isitors driving to Yellowstone National Park’s iconic geyser, “Old Faithful,” also will travel via tire once they exit their cars for a closer look. Old Faithful now boasts a porous, clean flexible walkway made mostly of recycled Michelin tires. The pavement surface, known as Flexi-Pave and manufactured by the company K.B. Industries (KBI), is gentler to the environment than asphalt because the permeable composite material allows for better erosion control and preservation of the natural patterns of groundwater flow. In addition, the walkway surface is extremely durable and tolerant of heat and cold, and does not leach any oil into the surrounding environment. “The material used to create KBI’s Flexi-Pave is completely benign and therefore can be used safely with the delicate aquifers here in Yellowstone,” said Kevin Bagnall, CEO and founder of KBI, in a statement. The Old Faithful Walkway Project covers 6,400 square feet and includes 900 Michelin tires. “The path allows 3,000 gallons of groundwater to pass per square foot. It also is designed to diffuse the water’s force, helping prevent erosion,” Bagnall noted. “The Old Faithful Walkway Project is a great example of what a difference a company devoted to sustainability can make in the world’s first national park,” said Karen Bates Kress, president of the Yellowstone Park

Foundation, in a statement. “We are fortunate to have a corporate partner as farsighted, publicspirited and generous as Michelin,” she added. In fact, Michelin flew in a team of employees from across the country to help complete the construction of the walkway. The 10 volunteers were winners of a company-wide contest to participate in the project. Michelin serves as a major corporate sponsor of the Yellowstone Park Foundation, with a goal of helping the park curb operating expenses and reduce the consumption of raw materials. To that end, Michelin regularly donates and helps maintain thousands of tires for Yellowstone National Park’s more than 800 vehicles, including patrol cars, garbage trucks, snow plows and load-hauling tractor trailers. The tires feature the latest in green tire technology to help save fuel and reduce emissions. “Helping build and provide material for this new pathway is very much in line with Michelin’s goal of working with the Yellowstone Park Foundation,” said Leesa Owens, director of community relations for Michelin, in a statement.

How to Display Proper Hygiene in Public

Y

ou would think that public hygiene protocol would be a standard, taught in kindergarten, reviewed in middle school, and essential for your college diploma. Yet, more often than we care to admit, both knowing and remembering social “dos” and “don’ts” proves a challenge for even the best of us.

Unfortunate habits, like biting your nails, playing with your hair, or picking at your face can work against that clean, sophisticated image you desire. These habits are also a way that unwanted grime, oils and bacteria can spread from different areas on your body and eventually onto any object you touch. Do your best to keep your hands away from the top half of your body whenever possible.

Stay classy and clean with a few simple tips on how to display good public hygiene. Cover your mouth This one is so simple we feel it deserves the first spot on the list. Hearing you sneeze or hearing you cough is one thing. Asking someone to feel you sneeze or feel you cough is entirely another. Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing. Keep your hands clean by using your upper arm as your shield. One tissue does not conquer all Feeling under the weather? Looking and feeling your best can be truly difficult when your sinuses are working against you. Do your best to show your care for public hygiene by following the little guidelines you can still muster doing, like washing your hands regularly, using hand sanitizer, and refusing to reuse and reuse the same tissue while public. Watch for bad habits

Launder Laundry is no fun, but there are few public hygiene no-nos worse than dirty clothes. Pick one day of the week to be laundry day and stick to it. Invest in a dependable iron and ironing board, and carry a stain remover in your purse or bag. Use FLASR For smokeless tobacco users, a small, spill-proof portable spittoon is an essential and the ultimate display of good public hygiene. Fortunately, for these individuals, there’s FLASR, an Atlanta-based company that specializes in exactly that. The FLASR spittoon has a chic design that is pocketsize and features a secure locking mechanism to avoid messy mishaps. For more information about FLASR, visit www.flasr.com. --(NewsUSA)

Living Landscapes Matter: The ABCs Of Drought-Friendly Landscapes

L

iving landscapes do more environmental good than many people realize.

Go Green To Be Green Here are just some of the benefits of protecting green spaces, starting in your own backyard: • Carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is the single greatest cause of climate change. Fortunately, scientists say, grass is the greatest carbon sink in the country, removing about six tons of carbon dioxide per acre, per year from the atmosphere. • Storm water runoff. Rain water “sheets off” hard surfaces, such as parking lots, driveways and roads, picking up pollutants as the runoff makes its way to streams, rivers and lakes. Grassy areas, however, mitigate storm water runoff, slowing down and absorbing the water while cleansing it of dust and other impurities. • Soil erosion. Grass controls erosion, not only by slowing down water runoff but by holding soil in place with its natural, dense and fibrous root system. • Heat island effects. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), on a hot, sunny day, roof and pavement surface temperatures can be 50° to 90° hotter than the air. Synthetic turf, made from petroleum, can be even worse. A Brigham Young University study found synthetic turf’s temperatures were 37° higher than asphalt and 86° hotter than natural turf. Planting vegetation and grass and installing green roofs are among the strategies the EPA recommends to mitigate the heat island effect. • Oxygen. Lawns are incredible oxygen-making machines. In fact, a 25-square-foot area of grass will supply enough oxygen to support one person for a whole day. • Air quality. Research has shown that grasses remove pollutants such as carbon dioxide and ozone from the air. Grass plays a vital role in capturing dust, smoke and other harmful pollutants. • Play space. Outdoor areas provide a safe place for children and pets to

W

play and for families to enjoy. Numerous studies have demonstrated the health benefits of spending time outdoors, including improved mood and decreased anger, fatigue and depression. • Biodiversity. Unlike artificial grass made of petroleum, real grass provides a habitat for birds and animals. What To Do About Drought The good news is, you don’t have to lose all those benefits to drought conditions. During a drought, it’s fine to let your lawn go brown. In fact, it is part of the natural plant cycle. It will turn green again when the rains return, and even a dormant lawn provides environmental benefits, while giving kids and pets a place to play. What’s more, buffalo and Bermuda grass and other types require very little water, making them a smart choice for drought conditions, explains Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), the international trade association representing the small engine, utility vehicle and outdoor power equipment manufacturing industry. “The right thing to do is to find the right plants for the right place,” urges Kiser. “Rocks, mulch, hardscapes, pavers and cactus simply don’t cut it. “If you xeriscape and put in rock gardens and mulch and cactus, it may not provide an adequate place for pets and kids to play,” adds Kiser. Green Facts For Family Fun To help families understand their options when it comes to their yards, the OPEI Education and Research Foundation came up with a kid-friendly character named TurfMutt and his sidekicks called the Outdoor Powers. Created in partnership with Scholastic, Inc., the global children’s publishing, education and media company, TurfMutt is a national educational program for grades K through 5. The program offers fun activities and on online digital storybook for children. It’s featured on the websites of the EPA, U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Green Building Council’s Center for Green Schools, and U.S. Forest Services’ Climate Change Live. -(NAPSI)

What It Takes to Get One of the Most In-Demand Jobs

hich jobs will be in demand in the coming years?

It’s a question that’s taken on greater urgency as the cost of higher education continues to rise much faster than incomes. And while no one’s recommending choosing a career based solely on market factors, a lot more philosophy majors might be employed today if they’d paid attention. “Not all (college) degrees are created equal,” a report from Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce concluded. One career that’s considered golden: doctors of chiropractic. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Handbook, chiropractic employment is expected to rise 28 percent through 2020 -much faster than the average for all jobs. For those unaware, today’s chiropractors are at the frontline in providing non-invasive, drug-free relief from everything from back pain to mi-

graines to a host of lifestyle issues. And while there’s a high degree of both personal and patient satisfaction, the educational requirements are among the most stringent of all health care professionals. The typical applicant at an accredited chiropractic college has already acquired nearly four years of pre-medical undergraduate college education, including courses in biology, physics, psychology, organic and inorganic chemistry, and related lab work. He or she is then looking at four or five years of professional study in the healing sciences that in some cases -- including anatomy, physiology, rehabilitation and nutrition -- are even more intensive than that of medical doctors. There’s also a minimum one-year, clinical-based program involving actual patient care. “That’s because of the hands-on nature of the profession and the intricate adjusting techniques that must be learned to help patients,” says Gerard Clum of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress.

Understanding The Seriousness Of The Flu

I

f you or someone you care about is among the estimated 45 million Americans who are 65 years of age and older, there’s an important health fact you should know: As you age, your immune system weakens. This can make influenza (“the flu”) severe and even life threatening for older adults. The 2014−2015 flu season recorded the highest hospitalization rates among people 65 years of age and older in recent history, yet a new survey of more than 1,000 U.S. seniors found that many underestimate the seriousness of the flu and are largely unaware of their vaccine options. To help educate older adults and those who care for them about the seriousness of the flu, the importance of prevention and available vaccine options, two-time Emmy and Tony award−winning actress Judith Light— starring in the new Broadway play Thérèse Raquin—has joined the Flu + You program for the second year in a row as the campaign ambassador. “I turned 65 last year, and even though I still feel healthy and active, I know my immune system weakens with age,” said Light. “I can’t afford to let the flu slow me down, and luckily my doctor gave me a flu shot specifically for my age. If you’re over 65 like me, talk to your health care provider about flu prevention and your flu vaccine options, and get vaccinated early before it’s too late.” The flu can make existing health problems worse and is especially dangerous for people with chronic health conditions, like heart disease and diabetes, which commonly affect older adults. People with these conditions

are more likely to develop complications from the flu that can result in hospitalization and even death. “Adults 65 and over typically account for roughly half of flu-related hospitalizations and almost all flurelated deaths, and yet the survey we conducted shows that only 8 percent of survey respondents are concerned about getting the flu,” said Kathleen Cameron, MPH, Senior Director, National Council on Aging. “Furthermore, about one third of respondents are unaware that someone with chronic health conditions would be at risk for complications from the flu.” The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states the single best way to prevent the flu is to get an annual vaccination. However, the survey found that more than half of seniors are unaware that there is a flu shot specifically for their age group. Older adults have flu vaccine options, including the regular flu shot and a higher-dose vaccine, both of which are widely available at a doctor’s office or local pharmacy. Flu vaccination is a Medicare benefit with no copay. Older adults and their caregivers can learn more at ncoa.org/Flu, which features more survey results, free educational materials, and a public service announcement with Judith Light. Flu + You is a national public education initiative sponsored by the National Council on Aging in collaboration with Sanofi Pasteur. -(NAPSI)

Wellness Travel Is on the Rise

S

tudies show that a yearly vacation is invaluable for health, with benefits varying from lower stress levels to cardiovascular improvements. Adding to these benefits, many travelers are now combining traditional vacations with wellnessgeared getaways.

cluding nutritious menu options, spa offerings and fitness activities. Across the globe, tourism professionals are responding to growing demands by introducing whole food, vegetarian and vegan menus, spa packages and active excursions. Hiking, cycling, paddle boarding and kayaking continue to gain popularity.

A panel of experts at the annual International Travel Mart in Cannes, France, predicted that, by 2040, 90 percent of luxury tourism will include some aspect of health and wellness. The global market size of the wellness tourism industry is growing rapidly -- faster than travel in general -- and is predicted to account for $678.5 billion by 2017, compared with $438.6 billion in 2012, according to Statistica Inc. Much of this growth can be attributed to the maturation of the baby boomer generation, which is more health-conscious than preceding generations. These travelers look for a vacation that integrates their daily healthful routine with traditional aspects of travel. But it’s not just baby boomers who are looking to travel in good health -- the active family travel market is burgeoning and is expected to continue to grow as well. So, what is wellness travel?
