The Importance Of Rest Regular exercise has been linked to a host of health benefits. People who exercise regularly can lower their risk for chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes, and routine exercise can improve mood and potentially delay the onset of cognitive decline.

As vital as physical activity is to a healthy lifestyle, there is such a thing as too much exercise.

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, rest is an important part

of training. Without ample rest, the body does not have time to recover before the next workout. That lack of rest not only adversely affects performance, but also increases a person’s risk for health problems, including injuries that can sideline athletes for lengthy periods of time.

Committed athletes may have a hard time recognizing when they are pushing themselves too hard, and the line between perseverance and overdoing it can be thin. Many athletes credit their ability to push themselves mentally and physically with helping them

achieve their fitness goals and thrive as competitors. But it’s vital that athletes learn to recognize the signs that suggest they’re

exercising too much.

The USNLM notes that the following are some signs of overdoing it with an exercise routine.

• An inability to perform at your established level • Requiring longer periods of rest between workout sessions • Feeling tired • Feeling depressed • Experiencing mood swings or irritability • Difficulty sleeping • Feeling sore muscles or heavy limbs • Suffering overuse injuries such as runner’s knee, achilles tendinitis, shin splints, and plantar fasciitis • Loss of motivation • Getting more colds • Unintended weight loss • Feelings of anxiety The USNLM urges anyone experiencing these symptoms to rest

completely for between one and two weeks.

After that period of rest, the body should be fully recovered.

However, if any of these issues linger after two weeks, seek the advice of a health care provider.

A health care provider may recommend additional rest and/ or conduct a series of tests to determine if an underlying issue is causing any of the aforementioned symptoms.

Rest is as vital to an effective exercise regimen as proper technique, ensuring the body has ample time to recover and reducing the risk of overuse injuries.

How Exercise Can Help You Live Longer There are many reasons to get in shape. Weight loss is a prime motivator, as is reversing a negative health effect, such as high cholesterol or increased diabetes risk. Routine exercise also can improve life expectancy.

WebMD says exercise keeps the body and brain healthy.

That’s why exercise should be an important component of daily life no matter one’s age.

Research published in the journal Immune Aging found that how people age is 75 percent lifestyle and only 25 percent genetics, which underscores the importance of the lifestyle choices people make.

Cardiorespiratory fitness Many health experts say that cardiorespiratory fitness may be just as valuable a metric to determine overall health as blood pressure and lipid levels. People with a high aerobic capacity can deliver oxygen to tissues and cells efficiently to fuel exercise, according to data published in 2014 in the journal Aging & Disease.

In a study involving 11,335 women, researchers compared V02 max, also

known as aerobic capacity, in women with mortality data. Women who were fit from a cardiovascular perspective had a lower death rate from all causes, irrespective of the women’s weight.

Manage stress and mood Exercise has direct stress-busting benefits that can promote longevity. The Mayo Clinic says physical activity can increase the production of endorphins, which are the body’s feel-good neurotransmitters.

In addition, exercise can imitate the effects of stress, helping the body adjust its flight or fight response accordingly, and help them cope with mildly stressful situations.

While engaged in exercise, people may forget about their problems as they are focused on the activity at hand.

Improve bone health Strength training and physical activity can stave off the effects of frailty and osteoporosis, which affects bone strength. A study published in the Journal of Internal Medicine in 2017 found that hip fractures are associated with diminished quality

of life and survival among the elderly. One in three adults aged 50 and over dies within 12 months of suffering a hip fracture, and older adults have a five- to eight-times greater risk of dying within three months following a hip fracture. Building muscle strength, balance and bone density through exercise can reduce falls and frailty, helping to prevent fracture-related health risks.

Addresses sarcopenia The health and wellness resource Healthline defines sarcopenia as the loss of muscle mass specifically related to aging. Doctors once considered this muscle loss inevitable, and it can affect stamina and lead to weakness. However, new indications suggest that exercise is the main treatment regimen for sarcopenia, particularly resistance training. This is designed to improve muscle strength and help balance hormone levels by turning protein into energy for older adults.

These are just some of the ways exercise can help older adults live longer, healthier lives.

ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS!

Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia. The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom. The researchers behind the study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals. A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problemsolving, and map reading, among other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.

Extremely cold temperatures can cause serious problems for your pets who are outside even for short periods of time.

Most pets are not bred to withstand temperatures below freezing, and even those that are if not acclimated to the cold are at risk. When is it too cold? A good rule of thumb is, if its too cold for you to be outside without a coat, it’s also too cold for your pet.

Below are some things to keep in mind regarding the safety of your pet: Never leave your dog unattended in a car. Cars turn into freezers very quickly. Never warm your car up in the garage, this can trap carbon monoxide and kill people and pets in minutes.

Make sure your pet has a collar with identification. Snow can be disorienting for an animal and it is easy for them to get lost.

Keep space heaters away from where animals can get to them. They provide a risk for the animal to get burned and for them to be knocked over, causing a fire.

Dogs and cats can quickly experience frostbite (especially ears and paws) and hypothermia. Symptoms of hypothermia include Severe lethargy, decreased appetite, decreased responsiveness, low body temperature, discolored skin – especially red or black extremities.

If you have chickens,

especially those with longer beards or combs, they are also susceptible to frostbite and hypothermia. Please use insulated walls and chicken coop heaters.

If you use ice melt on your driveway or walkway, this can be extremely painful for dogs who walk through it. If your dog has walked on it, immediately wipe you their paws with luke warm water after. Please note, a good alternative is pet friendly ice melt!

Also, pet boots can be great way to keep your dog safe.

Lastly, bang on the hood of your car and check for cats who may have climbed under your car for warmth.

5 Hobbies To Keep Your Body And Mind Healthy And Happy

COVID-19 • The pandemic has been a tremendous source of anxiety and stress, which makes it no surprise that since its onset, a majority of dentists in an ADA Health Policy Institute survey report a rise in stress-related oral health conditions in their patients. If you are waking with a tired or sore jaw, find you’re grinding your teeth or have a chipped or cracked tooth, a dentist can help.

• Dentists’ areas of care extend beyond teeth, gums and supporting bone to include the muscles of the head, neck and jaw, the tongue, salivary glands and the nervous system of the head, neck and other areas.

When appropriate, dentists can take samples of tissue to screen for chronic or infectious diseases, and even oral cancer.

Catching oral cancer early reduces the risk of your being among the 10,030 people nationwide whose lives are claimed annually by the disease.

• For the 29.1 million people in the U.S. living with diabetes, and those at high risk of developing the disease, dental visits

are especially important.

Untreated diabetes can take a toll on your mouth in numerous ways your dentist can detect. What’s more, people with diabetes are more prone to periodontal disease, a chronic, inflammatory disease that can destroy gums, all the tissues holding your teeth and even bones. Research suggests that treating gum disease and then practicing good oral hygiene can help improve blood sugar control in people living with diabetes.

• With pregnancy come changes in your body, including an increased risk of the gum disease called gingivitis.

Keeping up with regular dental cleanings during your pregnancy can help keep this issue at bay.

For more dental health tips and resources, visit MouthHealthy.org. To find a dentist near you, visit FindaDentist.ada. org.

“Dentists, along with your physician and other healthcare professionals, are part of your health care team,” says Dr. Boghosian.

“Your oral and overall health are our top priority.”

(StatePoint) As the pandemic continues to restrict many of the places you are able or inclined to go, finding ways to stay active is important for keeping the body and mind healthy and happy.

Here are some ideas for new hobbies to try.

• Learn a language: Bonjour! ¡Hola! With an array of online language classes and tutorials available at your fingertips, learning a new language is more accessible than ever.

Start now while you fantasize about a postpandemic vacation overseas.

• Play an instrument: Learning to play an instrument is not only a great distraction for the current moment, it can provide you with years of joy as your skill develops.

Consider starting your musical journey on a Casiotone keyboard. By connecting the keyboard to the free Chordana Play app, you can easily learn

to play your favorite songs from downloaded MIDI files. Once you’ve mastered the instrument, the portability of the keyboard will come in handy, whether you play solo or join a band.

• Become a home chef: From sushi to soufflé to dumplings, there are likely a range of dishes you have never attempted making at home. Tackle your culinary bucket list, one-by-one.

• Go hiking: There is no better hobby for staying fit and communing with nature than hiking, which works every muscle of the body, boosts cardiovascular health and even improves mood and mental wellbeing. Track your hike using a wearable tech tool geared for outdoor enthusiasts, such as a watch from the Casio’s Pro Trek line. Quad Sensor technology packs all the measurements you need into one compact hiking watch, including a compass,

altitude/barometer and temperature measurements, along with an accelerometer that tracks step count.

Calorie calculations use both step count and altitude information to take upgrades and downgrades into consideration, and data is recorded by the Pro Trek connected app.

• Volunteer: At a time when many people are struggling, consider volunteering your time to serve those in need.

There are plenty of safe, socially distant volunteer opportunities, from delivering meals to the homebound, to video conferencing with socially isolated seniors to helping boost adult literacy via remote tutoring.

Amid the ongoing pandemic, staying busy and positive may take creativity.

However, discovering new hobbies and pursuits you love can nurture the body, mind and soul.

(StatePoint) If maintaining good health is top of mind these days, as it is for many, be sure to factor dental hygiene into the equation.

Medical experts say that a healthy mouth is critical to whole-body health, and warn that during the COVID-19 pandemic, certain stress-related oral health concerns are on the rise.

“Dental health and overall health are intrinsically linked.

Beyond teeth and gums, the mouth serves as a window to the rest of the body, providing clues about health related issues that may be brewing,” says Dr. Alice Boghosian, American Dental Association (ADA) spokesperson.

Dr. Boghosian reminds the public that dental visits have always been an essential part of health care and are safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to ADA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, dentists have increased their already strong infection control and office sterilization protocols when treating patients.

“Routine dental exams during the pandemic can help keep your mouth and body healthy.

In addition, dentists can sometimes spot signs suggestive of medical issues, alerting you to the need for medical follow-up,” says Dr. Boghosian.

According to the ADA, here’s why you should be seeing your dentist regularly, and insights into how oral and overall health are connected:

Fresh Herbs That Can Reduce Your Reliance On Sodium Salt has long been used to add flavor to people’s favorite foods. In fact, the use of salt as a means to preserving foods and adding flavor to recipes dates back to ancient times and has led to countless conflicts ever since.

According to History. com, wars over access to salt reserves in China are believed to have been fought as early as 6,000 B.C. Though that shows just how valuable salt has been throughout much of

human history, it doesn’t indicate the negative effects that can result from diets that feature excessive amounts of sodium.

The American Heart Association notes that sodium plays an essential role in the human body by regulating the kidneys and helping to control the body’s fluid balance.

Sodium also helps send nerve impulses and affects muscle function. However, excessive amounts of sodium can compromise heart health. The AHA notes that excessive amounts of sodium in the bloodstream pulls water into the blood vessels, increasing the total volume of blood within them. As more blood flows through blood vessels, blood pressure increases. Over time, that can adversely affect blood

vessels and speed up the build-up of plaque that can block blood flow. Higher blood pressure forces the heart to work harder and increases a person’s risk for heart disease.

So what about sodium, a mineral so valued, and indeed vital to human existence, that it’s led to wars and created countless devotees in kitchens over the centuries? If it’s flavor cooks are aiming for, it’s possible to reduce reliance on sodium and increase the use of fresh herbs without sacrificing flavor. Such a transition can improve heart health and introduce a host of new flavors at meal time.

Basil The AHA notes that basil has a sweet and fresh flavor profile and is best added to

a dish right before serving.

Freshly cut basil leaves can be added to any number of dishes, including tomato sauces, pastas, salads, pizzas, and eggs.

Cilantro Cilantro are the delicate leaves and stems of the coriander plant. Like basil, cilantro should be added to a dish right before serving and should not be cooked.

Cilantro can be paired with beans, tomatoes, corn, and avocados among other foods, and is widely used when preparing Mexican foods at home.

Oregano The AHA notes that Greek dishes often combine oregano, mint and lemon to create a memorable, delicious flavor profile. If chopping fresh oregano, strip the leaves from the

stem and then discard the stem.

Parsley Parsley isn’t just a garnish used to add aesthetic appeal to plates. Flat-leaf parsley provides a light and fresh flavor, while the AHA notes that curly parsley offers a slightly peppery profile.

Parsley is typically added

to a dish during the final minutes of cooking or right before serving, and can be paired with chicken, fish, potatoes, and pasta among countless other foods.

These are just a handful of herbs that can give meals a flavorful punch and help chefs avoid an overreliance sodium in their recipes.

SUFFOLK ZONE 3 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 24, 2021 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

We love watching the expression on a child’s face when they sniff a mint leaf and suddenly realize that mint is a real plant and not just an artificial flavor. Teaching kids about vegetables and nutrition is so inspiring and a lot of fun. At HeartBeet Farms, we are always focused on connecting people to where their food comes from.

HeartBeet Farms launched Root for the Beet, a children’s comic book series designed to inspire healthy food and drink choices, and an active lifestyle.

Our ambassadors, Heart & Beet, educate and inspire kids by taking them on fun, healthy adventures. Heart and Beet help kids and families understand where their food comes from and the importance of healthier – and delicious – food and drink choices.

Root for the Beet contains a series of thirteen comics

originally illustrated by a local eleven-year-old student. Each comic explores an important nutrition topic including the impact of eating a healthy breakfast and lunch, how drinking water helps keep our bodies active and healthy, and tips for evaluating the ingredients in your favorite snacks. Many of the comics feature delicious, colorful vegetables such as beets, zucchini, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, and cucumbers. Chapters include: Making a Sweet Splash,

Break for Breakfast, Root for the Beet, Bag the Lunch, Attack Your Snack, What’s in that Chip?, Glu10, Heart & Beet Go Organic, Cukes, Crunch & Sip, Don’t Squash Us, Smack Down Between Yam and Sweet Potato, and Squash the Spaghetti.

Now kids can experience virtual vegetable education that combines the Root for the Beet book with a series of 13 video lessons featuring Heart and Beet.

After you enroll in the program, you receive a Root for the Beet book in the mail and a login to the video lessons. A brief quiz follows each video lesson to help reinforce what has been learned.

Once the course is completed, each student completes a brief questionnaire and Heart & Beet sends them a surprise gift in the mail. The virtual program is designed for elementary students (2nd - 5th grade). To learn more, visit heartbeetfarms.com.

Pressing Flowers Flowers can have sentimental value, particularly those received as gifts or those that were part of momentous occasions, like weddings. Fresh flowers have finite life spans unless measures are taken to preserve the blooms. The flower experts at ProFlowers say pressing flowers can preserve them for years to come. While flower lovers can invest in a flower press, other heavy objects also can be effective at pressing flowers.

Start by choosing flowers that are either still in bud form or are freshly bloomed.

Dry the flowers out as quickly as possible to prevent browning.

Place the flower between two pieces of white, nontextured paper. Then place all

within the pages of a book. Depending on the size of the book, you may be able to press more than one flower at a time. Place other books on top to weigh down the book with the flowers inside. Change the moisture blotting sheets every few days.

After two to three weeks, the flowers will be completely dry and flat. Remove the flowers carefully using tweezers or fingertips.

Store the fresh flowers in a cool, dry place or consider framing them in a shadow box.

Preventive Care Involves Safeguarding Mental Health As Well Preventive care is often looked at through the needs people need to do to protect their physical wellbeing. For example, a healthy diet and routine exercise, while beneficial to mental health, are often viewed as lifestyle choices that can make people feel better physically. But taking steps to protect one’s mental health also is vital to a long, productive life.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services notes that positive mental health and mental wellness can have a profoundly positive impact on a person’s life. Positive mental health can help people realize their full potential, cope with the stresses of life and make meaningful contributions to their communities.

What can I do to protect my mental health?

Learning to recognize the early warning signs of mental health problems can help prevent such problems from escalating and compel people to seek help. The DHHS advises anyone

feeling these signs or recognizing these signs in others to seek help for themselves or their loved ones: • Eating or sleeping too much or too little • Pulling away from people and usual activities • Having low or no energy • Feeling numb or as if nothing matters • Unexplained aches and pains • Feeling helpless or hopeless • Smoking, drinking, or using drugs more than usual • Feeling unusually confused, forgetful, on edge, angry, upset, worried, or scared • Yelling or fighting with family and friends • Severe mood swings

that cause problems in relationships • Persistent thoughts and memories you can’t get out of your head • Hearing voices or believing things that are not true • Thinking of harming yourself or others • An inability to perform daily tasks, such as taking care of your children or getting to work or school Taking steps to protect one’s mental wellness is a vital component of preventive care.

More information about mental health is available at www. mentalhealth.gov.

Suffolk County Executive Thanks Nursing Students for Vaccination Help Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone recently visited COVID-19 vaccination pod hosted at Suffolk County Community College’s Michael J. Grant Campus in Brentwood to say thanks to student nursing volunteers who are helping with vaccinations.

More than fivedozen Suffolk County Community College nursing students volunteered to assist New York State and Suffolk County with the administration of the lifesaving COVID 19

vaccine.

Student nurses are also helping the college administer Corona Virus pool tests to Suffolk County Community College students, faculty and staff who attend classes on or are working at any of the college’s three campuses.

Suffolk County Community College Interim President Louis Petrizzo previously announced that the College would make all its campuses – from Brentwood to Riverhead -available for distribution of the vaccine.

The Michael J. Grant Campus in Brentwood and Eastern Campus in Riverhead are now host sites where the Suffolk County Department of Health is administering vaccines in the fight against COVID-19.

“I am proud of our nursing students for answering the call to volunteer, and for helping in the fight to eradicate this virus. I thank each student for their selfless service to our college and the community,” said Interim College President Petrizzo.

SUFFOLK COUNTY EXECUTIVE THANKS NURSING STUDENTS - Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone, fourth from left, joined Joy Borrero, PhD, RN and Academic Chair-Nursing Michael J. Grant Campus, center, and John Durso, president of the RWDSU in thanking Suffolk County Community College student nurses who volunteered to help vaccinate eligible residents at the College’s Michael J. Grant Campus in Brentwood.

New Director Named at Pronto of Long Island Continued From 4 S. Budd, CEO, Family Residences and Essential Enterprises, Inc. (FREE).

“We know that he can meet the challenges that face our community during this difficult time.”

Soto also added that Pronto’s work could not be done without the work of volunteers and donors.

“We need your help to address these and many

of the other needs of the families we serve, whether it is through a donation of time, food, clothing or money, your generosity will be instrumental in our ability to do our work,” he said.

Soto’s past experiences include those as a legal professional with an expertise in contract review, diversity and inclusion, customer service, training and

development, human resources, project management and operations. He is a motivational public speaker and trainer in multiple areas including organ and tissue donation.

Soto also serves a volunteer firefighter in the Merrick Hook and Ladder Company No. 1.

c h e m o treatments, repeated lengthy emergency room visits, in her hospital rooms sleeping in a bedside chair and finally caring for her at home during hospice.

I felt a deep void when my wife of 53 years was gone but I had to move on somehow, so I searched the internet for ways I might help others going through the same hardship and happened across Babylon Breast Cancer Coalition (BBCC) in need of volunteer office help. Since I was a C.P.A., I thought I’d give it a try and three years later I’m a member of BBCC’s allvolunteer Board as well as it’s Treasurer.

When I remember my late wife’s dark, frightening, cancer filled days, I cringe to think there are people in this world who must go through this nightmare alone - which is not the case in the Babylon Township because residents have BBCC. Most people BBCC help do not have a devoted healthy caregiver and many are in financial distress, so the variety of free services BBCC’s staff of angels provide is an inexpressible blessing.”

If you too would like to get involved with the BBCC, you can. They are looking for volunteers to assist with virtual fundraising events and social media.

Additionally, you can join the BBCC for virtual bingo on February 25th at 7:15PM. First card is $10, $5 for each additional card.

Call their office at 631.893.4110 to register or Venmo to @babylonbreastcancer_ coalition, make sure to mention BINGO and include your email address!

If you are interested in volunteering, making a contribution, adding your name to their mailing list, or have any additional inquiries, please contact the BBCC directly at info@babylonbreastcancer.org or 631.893.4110. Don’t forget to visit www. babylonbreastcancer.org to learn more about all they do.

The Babylon Breast Cancer Coalition (BBCC) was founded in 1993 by three friends who lived in Babylon.

Determined to fight against breast cancer by raising awareness and educating women, the BBCC with their dedicated volunteers undertook the task of completing a demographic survey to ascertain the incidence of breast cancer in Babylon.

From this, a volunteer driven grass-roots organization grew, which serves the entire Township of Babylon, including those with all gynecological cancers in addition to those with breast cancer. Today they provide direct patient services and support to help ease the burdens that breast and all gynecological cancers put on patients and their families/caregivers.

In addition to assisting in the basic needs of those battling cancer, they also reach out to the community at large, providing educational programs to encourage healthier lifestyles, which would decrease the still very high instance of these cancers in our community. Please note, if you do not live in this township, you can still reach out to the BBCC to find out who in your area can be of help to you.

The success of the BBCC is made possible primarily through their volunteers.

This Coalition has three staff members, so volunteers are so important to them, volunteering not because they have the time, but because they have the heart to do so. Volunteering does not only benefit the cause, but it greatly benefits the person doing so as well. Focusing on others is a great way for one to heal, self-reflect and find joy.

Below is a heart-felt message from Nick Radesca, a Volunteer Board Member and Treasurer at the BBCC: “I was devastated when my wife passed away in 2017 of metastatic breast cancer.

The agonizing ordeal leading to her death was terrifying and exhausting - which had me at her side at doctor appointments,

to COVID-19. The CDC has recommended various safety measures to ensure the safety of donors and donation center volunteers and staff members.

Such measures include spacing donor chairs at least six feet apart and encouraging donors to make donation appointments ahead of time.

Appointments can ensure donors are not spending more time at the donation center

Donating blood is a selfless act that saves lives. Blood donors may recognize the vital role they play in patient care, but many may wonder if it’s safe to donate blood during the pandemic. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is safe for anyone who is well to donate blood. That even goes for people who are social distancing due
