“My flu-like symptoms turned out to be a heart attack.” NAME: HEIDI F. AGE: 60 HOMETOWN: Woodmere, NY CONDITION: Cardiac arrest PROCEDURE: Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) LIFE BEFORE HEART ATTACK: I was getting ready for my grandson’s birthday, when all of a sudden I became weak. I thought I was coming down with the flu. Before going to sleep, I called my son and told him that something didn’t feel right. We took no chances and called 911. The paramedics arrived and within minutes, I was in cardiac arrest. LIFE AFTER HEART ATTACK: I woke up a few days later and after many tests the doctors determined that the upper part of my heart wasn’t sending signals to the bottom part to pump blood, and that’s why my heart stopped. I was fitted with an ICD to treat my irregular heartbeat. After the procedure, I’m back to normal, I’m energetic, and I feel great. WHY CHOOSE SOUTH NASSAU? The entire cardiac team was amazing. No amount of words will ever help me express how thankful I am. They’re my heroes. They’re my angels.

Recharge those resolutions

Savor the flavor of a lifetime of health

Eat More Plants Sounds pretty simple, right? That’s because it actually is. When you choose to eat more plants at each meal, you crowd out the unhealthier foods like dairy, meat, eggs, processed foods, fast food, pre-made meals and stuff that really provides your body with nothing but inflammatory, dense sources of calories. Remember, calories equal energy. Your body needs calories to provide you with energy, so be sure you choose quality calories versus just focusing on the number of calories a food has. A 400-500 calorie meal made from plants like leafy greens, vegetables, fruit, whole grains, nuts and seeds is going to be more usable for your body than 400-500 calories from a medium fast food French fry and some ketchup or a small measly cheeseburger. Even simpler foods like yogurt, cottage cheese, steak and fish all have way more calories per item than plants do, which means you have to eat more of them to stay full. They also don’t improve your energy the same way either. Plants contain fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that don’t just keep you full and healthy, but also satisfy your cells’ needs for quality nutrients they can put to use to fuel your metabo-

A heart-healthy diet can reduce your risk of heart disease or stroke by 80 percent, according to the American Heart Association. Improving your diet is an important step toward preventing heart disease. The food you eat can be just as critical for your heart as controlling your weight and exercising.

Be a mindful eater. By taking the time to enjoy what you eat, you can develop a healthier relationship with food.

lism better. Plants are also less inflammatory to the body, which helps prevent disease that can slow your body down. Be Label Smart Generally speaking, if an item has a label on it with more than five ingredients, you probably shouldn’t be eating it, nutritionists advise. The healthiest choice foods contain one ingredient or no label at all. For instance, fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, nuts, seeds, beans and legumes are all single food options that your body can use much better than a processed protein bar with 10 or more ingredients. Added sugars, fillers and preservatives, emulsifiers, and many animal-based ingredients can all make their way into foods that aren’t necessarily easy to spot. When you choose simple labels, you’re naturally choosing healthier foods. Get Enough Sleep Busy schedules, nights out and stress can all keep you from getting the rest you need, but this comes with a huge price. Research has shown that even just 30 minutes less of sleep one or two nights a week can lead to weight gain, changes in insulin levels, and prevent quality mental focus the next day. Over time it can even lead to heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity. To keep your digestive organs, hormones, and your brain working like they should, your body has to have a reset. Think of sleeping just like working out — it works around the clock for you to improve

all other areas of your life. Put it in your calendar just like you would a meeting and make it happen. Eat a Fiber-Rich Breakfast Most people know they should eat breakfast, — no news flash there — but what many people don’t consider is the importance of a fiberpacked breakfast. A piece of fruit is nice in the morning, but it’s not going to do much for you an hour later. Your body needs a good bit of calories, ample amounts of fiber, and a little protein to get it going and to keep you full. Fiber takes a longer time to digest and also stabilizes your blood sugar. If you have a hard time adjusting to more fiber, start out slow but make it a point to increase it daily. A green smoothie, oatmeal, or some fruit chopped into a bowl with some coconut yogurt, flax, chia seeds, and pumpkin seeds are all great options that might be easier on your stomach than large amounts of something harsher like wheat bran cereal. Increase your fiber a little each day and you’ll likely notice you feel more full during the morning while also having less severe blood sugar drops the rest of the day. This can keep your insulin levels healthy to prevent sugar binges or extreme fatigue. Fiber-filled breakfasts can even improve your weight since they change the way your metabolism functions over the course of the day. n

Eating your way to healthy heart Make changes your heart and taste buds - will love Smart eating and staying active are still the best strategies for reducing cardiovascular risk. That’s the basis of the current guidelines from the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association. The two groups also came out with new guidelines for statin use, but somehow the effectiveness of lifestyle changes got lost, according to the authors of the Tufts Health & Nutrition Letter. Get to the heart of the matter with the keys to cardiovascular health. Consume a diet that emphasizes vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Also include low-fat dairy products, poultry, fish, legumes, non-tropical vegetables, oils and nuts and limit intake of sweets, sugar-sweetened beverages and red meats. Aim for a dietary pattern that achieves five to six percent of calories from saturated fat. For most of us, that means limiting, as much as possible, sources of animal fat such as meat and dairy. Reduce percent of calories from saturated fat. Choose polyunsaturated fats such as liquid vegetable oils, monounsaturated fats and carbohydrates. Reduce percent of calories from trans fat. Trans fats are found in commercialbaked goods, fried foods and processed or packaged foods. Lower sodium intake. For most of us, the majority of dietary sodium doesn’t come from the salt shaker. It comes from salt added to processed or restaurant food. Consume no more than 2,400 mg of sodium per day. Aim for more whole grain oats. When making food choices, look for whole grain oats or whole grain oat cereal that contains beta glucan, like Cheerios. Beta glucan is a natural soluble fiber found in oats that helps reduce bad cholesterol. To reduce the risk of heart disease, you need three grams of soluble fiber daily from whole grain oat foods as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Try healthy swaps. Healthier options are out there, so make the switch. For instance, instead of full fat mayonnaise, spread smashed avocado on your sandwich, which is high in healthy fats that help your heart. Also, when eating out, don’t be afraid to ask your server for healthier preparation methods, like steamed and broiled instead of fried, or ingredient substitutes like whole grain pasta. Engage in aerobic physical activity. Try for three to four sessions a week, lasting on average 40 minutes per session and involving moderate-to-vigorous intensity. Have a list. Keep a running list of health to-dos, such as regular cholesterol and blood pressure screenings, as well as questions for your physician. Find out and jot down foods you can eat to lower cholesterol and other ways to take care of your heart. The bottom line is that diet and exercise really can make a difference in your cardiovascular health. Small changes can become healthy habits.n

Have your healthy New Year’s habits already gone off course? Recharge and refocus as we get set to spring ahead this month, also known these days as National Nutrition Month. Now is the time to reevaluate your health goals. Those we made in January for the New Year may have taken a backseat to busy schedules, or we’ve slipped back into unhealthy food ruts for comfort or due to stress or the winter doldrums. Junk food, fast food, and red meat are all things most people realize they should avoid, but avoiding certain foods isn’t the only key to staying healthy. It’s more important to focus on your health as a whole, and how making smart health choices in several areas of your life can provide multiple benefits for the long haul. Everyone deals with schedules, jobs, social lives and other things that some people believe don’t allow them the time to live their healthiest life. But the belief that we don’t have time for health is simply not valid; everyone can live a healthy life when they break it down meal by meal, day by day, choice by choice.

Staying heart healthy with your Medicare Advantage Plan

eart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the US, according to the American Heart Association (AHA), killing an estimated 630,000 Americans each year. We hear these surprising statistics repeatedly, but joining a Medicare Advantage Plan gives you access to various health benefits, so you don’t have to become another statistic. Here are a few ways you can stay heart healthy by taking advantage of some prime benefits and covered services with your Medicare Advantage Plan. Preventative Services. Your risk for developing heart disease increases if you are; a woman age 55 or older, a man age 45 or older have a family history of heart disease. While you can’t control your age or family history, you can take preventive actions. Many plans cover preventative services such as screenings, immunizations and annual wellness visits. These services help you identify and treat health issues early. Identifying risk factors, unhealthy lifestyle habits, getting recommended screenings and vaccinations, are all part of ongoing heart healthy prevention and management. Speak with your doctor about blood cholesterol and triglyceride level screenings. Disease Management Programs. Many Medicare plans have disease management programs that aim to help you learning to manage chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Participating in a disease management pro-

Resolve to lower your risk of stroke through exercise and diet

xercise can make you fitter. It can also help to ward off many unexpected diseases, from heart attacks, strokes, and some forms of cancer, to diabetes and dementia. There’s evidence, too, that regular exercise may also be able to boost cognitive performance and brain function. Current federal guidelines recommend adults under the age of 65 perform 150 minutes of moderate physical activity every week, in workouts lasting at least 10 minutes. A high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program called Tabata, named after Japanese scientist Izumi Tabata, claims that just four minutes of exercise, in 20-second bursts interspersed by 10 seconds of rest, is enough to significantly boost your fitness and get you into shape. When Dr. Tabata and a team of researchers from the National Institute of Fitness & Sports in Tokyo put a group of speed skating students through this regime five times a week for six weeks, they ended up significantly fitter than another group who ran at a medium intensity for an hour on a treadmill. Omega-3 fatty acids can help to lower the risk of mini-strokes and brain abnormalities as we age by up to 40 percent. A research group from the University of Eastern Finland has published the results of a study in the Journal of the American Heart Association that explains how high long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid content in blood may lower the risk of small brain infarcts and other brain abnormalities in the elderly. Brain infarcts dramatically increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia that currently affect more than five million individuals in the U.S. Peer-reviewed results from this study demonstrate the critical importance of regular consumption of fatty fish (several servings per week) or regular supplementation with a purified fish oil product

Superfoods that make a difference

Get to the heart of the matter with the right food choices

Blueberries. High in antioxidants, blueberries are one of the most powerful disease-fighting foods you can eat. They also contain fiber and vitamin C. They’re great plain, in a fruit salad, or topping your wholegrain cereal.

calcium and fiber, plus niacin and omega-3 fatty acids. Add them to soups and salads for extra flavor and heart-healthy nutrients.

Oranges. Everyone knows oranges are rich in vitamin C, but did you know they also contain potassium, folate (folic acid), fiber, carotenoids and flavonoids? Carotenoids are a type of antioxidant that contain the red, orange, and yellow pigments in fruits and vegetables. Flavonoids are a type of polyphenol, which is another kind of antioxidant that helps to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol.

Swiss chard. This vegetable (a cousin to beets) comes in a variety of stalk colors with beautiful green leaves. Swiss chard is rich in potassium and magnesium that helps control blood pressure. And it also contains lutein and zeaxanthin, two heart-healthy antioxidants. Sauté with a bit of olive oil until wilted and season with herbs and pepper for a tasty treat.

Edamame. The fiber in these green soy beans is helpful in lowering cholesterol levels. Their protein has been shown to reduce triglyceride levels. And they also make a delicious snack when boiled. Spinach. Spinach is the most nutritious of all vegetables, packed with B vitamins, folate, iron, lutein (a carotenoid) magnesium, potassium, calcium and fiber. And it’s so versatile; make a salad with it, steam it then add a little garlic and olive oil or chop and freeze it to mix in with pasta, chicken dishes, soups and more.

Black beans and kidney beans. Like spinach, black beans and kidney beans contain B-complex vitamins, folate, magnesium,

Salmon and tuna. The American Heart Association recommends eating fatty fish, such as salmon and albacore tuna, at least twice a week. These fish are abundant in polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce risk factors for heart disease including high cholesterol, high blood pressure and high triglycerides. Omega-3 fatty acids can also help decrease inflammation that contributes to chronic disease, and they improve cognitive and behavioral function.

Walnuts and almonds: If you’re counting carbs, walnuts and almonds are good additions to your diet because they contain fiber, along with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, magnesium, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and phytosterols, which seem to decrease blood cholesterol.

What’s the formula for a healthy heart? Many factors contribute to your heart health, including exercising regularly, not smoking and eating healthy foods. But some foods pack a bigger nutritional punch than others when it comes to a healthy heart. Are superfoods really “super”? The truth, according to nutrition expert Penny KrisEtherton, Ph.D., RD, is that many so-called “super” foods are good for your heart and your overall health when incorporated into a heart-healthy diet that’s balanced in lean protein, whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat milk and dairy products. This diet also should include nuts, seeds and legumes, fish and liquid vegetable oil. Here are foods you should include in your diet to boost your heart health. You probably have many of these in your diet already. Add in others and you’re on your way to a happy heart. Check this handy list to make sure you’re on the right track.

eidi F., a 60-year-old Woodmere mom of three children, woke up one morning feeling as though she had been felled by the flu. As morning became afternoon, she grew weaker, so she called her son, Pinny, who summoned an ambulance. At the same moment the ambulance pulled up to her house, Heidi’s heart stopped and she collapsed. She was rushed to South Nassau Communities Hospital, where doctors determined Heidi had suffered from complete heart block. They inserted a temporary pacemaker and in an effort to protect her brain, they gave her therapeutic hypothermia, a cooling technique that lowers body temperature by about six degrees. Once Heidi was stable, the center’s director of electrophysiology, Lawrence Kanner, M.D., FACC, implanted an automated cardioverter defibrillator in her chest to monitor her heart rhythm. Today, Heidi is back to work and has resumed her swimming and walking routine. Like Heidi, if you, a loved one or a friend need expert, advanced, potentially lifesaving cardiac care, look no further than South Nassau’s Center for Cardiovascular Health. The center performs a wide range of coronary and peripheral interventional procedures, including balloon angioplasty, stenting and thrombolytic therapy. When providing balloon angioplasty in an emergency, the center consistently completes the procedure in approximately 68 minutes, which is 22

minutes faster than the medically recommended benchmark of 90 minutes. The center’s staff of electrophysiologists, use advanced technologies to provide timely, accurate diagnoses and therapies to treat the full range of cardiac arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms) and defibrillator complications. Services include diagnostic studies, implantation and testing of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and radio frequency catheter ablation for the treatment of potentially fatal irregular heartbeats. Noninvasive cardiologists at the center specialize in the array of cardiac imaging techniques. This includes nuclear cardiology (which generates images of the heart at work) and echocardiogram via the trans-thoracic method (a noninvasive assessment of the overall health of the heart) as well as stress echocardiogram (monitoring the heart’s movement, valves and chambers while the patient is exercising) and diagnostic peripheral vascular ultrasound (which evaluates the health of blood vessels) for patients with peripheral arterial disease.

Taking cardiac care to the next level

ow more than ever, women and men are struggling with symptoms of hormone imbalance. With the birth of her son in 2004, Kim Petry experienced severe hormonal imbalance causing anxiety, stubborn weight, hot flashes and achy joints. “I spent more than 10 years going to doctors, trying medications and many diets,” said Petry. “I tried everything, and no program corrected the real issue which was hormone imbalance.” Discovering Be Balanced Hormone Weight Loss Centers in 2017, transformed her life. The Be Balanced program is designed to naturally balance hormones, aid in losing stubborn weight and diminishes symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings and low energy. The approach works to remove candida yeast, detoxify the liver and balance hormones through all-natural supplementation and glandular support. Within a month, Petry’s symptoms disappeared and she lost weight. Having such a profound impact on her health, Petry decided to switch gears from a finance career and open a Be Balanced Center on Long Island. “I wanted to bring all-natural hormone balance and wellness to the area as I have seen firsthand how it can transform your life” said Petry. “Our clients are seeing amazing transformations. They typically lose 15 to 25 pounds in 28 days but

more importantly, the symptoms of hormone imbalance are diminished. When you feel good and look good, you feel empowered to reach for the stars,” said Petry. “I plan on bringing that to everyone who is struggling with issues caused by hormonal imbalances and weight gain.”

Nuts: All types of nuts are high in heartprotecting fiber, along with other vitamins and nutrients that work to reduce bad cholesterol. However, nuts are high in calories, so you should stick with a handful a day.

Avocado: A source of healthy fat, avocados can help lower the risk of heart disease and provide you with potassium and antioxidants. One has more than half the fiber and 40 percent of the folate you need daily, which may reduce your risk of heart disease.

Oatmeal. This heart-healthy grain is a smart breakfast choice. Soluble fiber helps fill you up in the morning, while oatmeal’s other nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, potassium, folate, niacin and calcium help protect your heart. Studies suggest that oats can lower cholesterol levels and may even help prevent certain cancers.

Flaxseed. This low-carb whole grain packs a huge nutritional punch. Flaxseed is high in vitamin B6, phosphorus, copper, folate, magnesium, manganese, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and phytonutrients such as lignans, which may help prevent or forestall the onset of type 2 diabetes. Research has also shown that flaxseed may decrease the risk of blood clots, stroke, and cardiac arrhythmias. Grind up flaxseed and add it to your favorite heart-healthy hot or cold cereal, muffins or bread.

Tomatoes: Tomatoes are a good source of potassium and contain powerful antioxidants that help protect the heart.

Potatoes: Although many people assume white potatoes are the “bad” starch, these root vegetables do hold some heart-healthy properties. Potatoes are rich in potassium, which is known to help lower blood pressure. They are also high in fiber, which helps prevent heart disease too. (Your heart needs an army of defenders to fight its #1 enemy.) Of course, don’t overlook the many benefits of sweet potatoes.

Pomegranates: Pomegranates are known sources of antioxidants, which can help reduce hardening of the arteries. Enjoy the benefits of this fruit in the edible seeds and the sweet-tart juice. Just one glass of pomegranate juice has the same polyphenol content as two glasses of red wine, four glasses of cranberry juice, or 10 cups of green teaIf you aren’t a fan of pomegranates, you can find some of these antioxidants in apples as well. n

Spring ahead with a salute to St. Patrick’s Day March 8, 2018

Don some green and join the hooley

s St. Patrick’s Day approaches, next Saturday, March 17, we can all rejoice that spring is not far behind. Meanwhile, step into some of the lively St. Patrick’s Day celebrations nearby, enjoy an upcoming parade and salute the Old Country. This weekend, join in a celebration of the “luck of the Irish” at Hofstra University’s annual Irish Festival on Sunday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. The popular local tradition — at Hofstra’s Mack Physical Education Center on the North Campus, Hempstead — is a lively family event with music and entertainment and plenty of activities for the kids, along with Irish products for sale. The Hibernian Festival Singers, an acclaimed ensemble of local performers get things started, at 11:15 a.m., with joyful arrangements of traditional Irish tunes. The Black Velvet Band, a festival favorite, follows at 12:15 p.m. with their take on beloved Irish music performed by Jimmy Walsh, Jimmy Lavin and Mickey Peare. JigJam, an award winning quartet from the heart of the Midlands in Ireland, makes their Irish Festival debut, performing traditional Celtic music mixed with bluegrass and Americana, resulting in a new genre that has been branded as ‘I-Grass’ or “CeltGrass.” Their Hofstra performance is their only appearance in the area this year. All four band members — Jamie McKeogh, Cathal Guinan and Daithi Melia and Gavin Strappe — grew up immersed in Irish traditional music and culture. They have now developed their own unique style influenced by American folk music while staying true to their Irish roots. Acclaimed as “the best Irish group so far in bluegrass,” this sharply dressed outfit delivers a high energy, foot-stomping live performance. All multiinstrumentalists, the guys interchange between banjos, guitars, fiddles, mandolins and double bass onstage. For the kids, some friendly clowns are around to keep the younger set entertained with balloon animals, a bubble show, interactive games, and music. Tony Jackson, formerly of Hofstra’s WRHU (88.7 FM) returns as master of ceremonies.

Savory Irish Cheese Soda Bread

Jigjam makes their first appearance at Hofstra University’s Irish Festival this year. Their charismatic stage presence adds some extra flair to the popular event. Admission is $6, $5 for seniors; children under 12 are free. For more information, contact 463-6582 or www. hofstra.edu/festivals. And be sure to bring some Patrick’s Day into your home. Among the quintessential foods, Irish Soda Bread is an especially tasty quick bread that everyone enjoys. It gets its name from the baking soda used as a leavener, instead of yeast. While the traditional version is made with only flour, buttermilk, salt and baking soda, there are all sorts of modern versions on this delectable bread that are worth trying.
