any people consider their gyms much more than a place to exercise. A gym can be a great place to socialize while trying to stay healthy. Having friends or fellow fitness enthusiasts around also can provide the motivation many people need to stay the course and achieve their fitness goals.

The International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association says more than 70 million consumers visited health clubs in 2017. That marked a record high since IHRSA began tracking data in 1987. Fitness memberships also are popular in Canada. GoodLife, the largest fitness club in Canada, has 400 different locations and more than 1.5 million members.

Fitness centers were among the many non-essential businesses forced to shutter as a result of COVID-19, forcing fitness enthusiasts to find new ways to stay mentally and physically fit. Many creative ideas have surfaced.

• Online classes: An internet connection is all that’s necessary to find a number of workouts that can be streamed from the comfort of home. The streaming website YouTube can be a gold mine for free workouts. Some cable service providers also may have On Demand fitness channels or rentals that can mirror some of the classes taken at the gym.

• Social apps: Gym-goers can inquire whether their gyms are offering alternative programs. For example, Jersey Strong, a fitness chain in New Jersey, began live-streaming many of its popular group fitness classes via a special Facebook page.

Class instructors guide classes from their own homes or from empty gyms. Other gyms may provide links to subscriberbased gym training workouts free of charge.

• The great outdoors: Even though some parks, beaches and trails have been closed, workouts can take place in and around the neighborhood. Jogging or walking can be excellent cardiovascular exercises, as can taking a bicycle ride for a few miles down neighborhood streets. People who live in rural areas can run through forested land or even farmland.

Pushups, sit-ups, planks, and other body weight exercises can be done right in the backyard. Before making a decision

Understanding your hair styling options

S

ocial distancing is challenging for everyone, and especially for the beauty and haircare industry, where close contact is often necessary for everything from applying foils to trimming bangs to threading eyebrows. Salons and barbershops are among the businesses that were asked to temporarily close to help flatten the curve of coronavirus cases.

Many clients accustomed to frequent salon visits for trims and recoloring are wondering what they can do to look their best during stay-at-home orders.

Unkempt hair can make it tempting to take scissors in hand,

Attempt to re-style

Make every attempt to style your hair as it begins to grow out. Even if you feel like your coiffure currently looks less than stellar, a haircut is irreversible and may not turn out as expected. Hairstyle changes, such as parting bangs or hair in the opposite direction, can make roots less visible. Braiding hair or pulling it back can help tame bangs that are getting a tad too long. Men who are accustomed to short hair can use more products like pomades or gels to slick back hair or keep unruly tresses from becoming problematic.

Color conundrum Hairdressers generally recommend four- to six-week intervals between full color touch-ups at the salon. Fresh foils for highlights generally are applied every six to eight weeks.

As hair color deadlines come and go, men and women can speak to their stylists about their options. Helen Petty, stylist and owner of the ChopShop in St. Louis, said many of her fellow stylists are putting together touch-up kits comprised of professionally mixed color and some basic tools to get the job done at home. The supplies can be picked up curbside or through “porch drop-offs.” See if your stylist can provide a similar service. Video conferencing during the application process can help you avoid missteps. Boxed hair dyes can work in a pinch, but they may not fully match your existing shade. Also, now is not the time for drastic color changes, which almost always require the expertise of trained colorists.

Easy ways to keep your immune system strong

T

he immune system is a powerful component of the human body.

The immune system recognizes when viruses, bacteria and other foreign invaders enter or compromise the body, and then takes action to prevent illnesses from taking over. The average person can help his or her immune system do its job more effectively by making the immune system as strong as it can be.

• Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables supply the powerhouse antioxidants that are essential for protecting a body against free radicals.

Free radicals may play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

Serve fruits and/or vegetables with every meal to ensure you’re getting enough antioxidant-rich foods.

Harvard Medical School says that diet, exercise, age, and psychological stress may affect immune system response.

Certain lifestyle choices can promote a strong immune system.

• Consume fiber and fermented foods. Fiber can help feed the gut microbiome, which is linked to a robust immune system. The microbiome also may prevent harmful pathogens from entering the body through the digestive tract. Data also suggests that eating more fermented foods can further strengthen and populate healthy bacteria in the gut.

• Get adequate sleep. Doctors believe sleep and immunity are closely tied. A study of 164 healthy adults published by the National Institutes of Health found those who slept fewer than six hours each night were more likely to catch a cold than people who slept for more than six hours. Aim for adequate rest each night to keep your body in top form.

• Exercise regularly. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate exercise per day, advises the American Heart Association. Thirty minutes of exercise each day can go a long way toward keeping the body healthy. The U.S. National Library of Medicine says physical activity may

help flush bacteria out of the lungs and airways. Exercise causes changes in antibodies and white blood cells.

These antibodies and white blood cells circulate rapidly, so they may detect illnesses earlier than they would if you do not exercise. Body temperature also rises during exercise, which could naturally prevent bacteria from growing.

• Try to minimize stress. According to Simply Psychology, when people are stressed, the immune system’s ability to fight off antigens is reduced, making people more susceptible to infections.

The stress hormone corticosteroid can suppress the effectiveness of the immune system. Limiting stress through meditation and breathing exercises, or trying to remove stressors from one’s life, may help.

A healthy immune system is vital to fending off or recovering from illness.

Helping children navigate social distancing

C

hildren may be more deeply affected by social distancing than any other group of people.

In a matter of weeks, millions of young children and adolescents went from attending school in the classroom to

being told they had to work exclusively from home. At the same time, children also were asked to give up their sports teams, clubs, meetings, and play dates.

Older children may understand the how and why of social distancing, but

no matter their ages, kids may be left emotionally adrift as social distancing guidelines stay in place.

No one is certain about what the longterm effects of social distancing will be on both children and adults. Amy Learmonth, Ph.D., a developmental psychologist at the Cognition, Memory and Development Lab at William Paterson University in New Jersey, notes that early social development takes place mostly within the family.

As children age, their peer group becomes the more important hub of social development. The longer social distancing restrictions are in place, the more these developments may adversely affect youngsters.

Parents can take steps to help kids cope during these uncertain times. • Set up digital play dates. The connectivity of the internet enables people to keep in touch even if they cannot be together physically.

Encourage children to engage their friends via online chats, ideally ones that feature video so they can see and hear their friends. Parents of young children can reach out to one another and

establish digital play dates via FaceTime or another virtual meeting app. • Lighten up on screen time restrictions. Each person has a different way to cope with social distancing and pass the time. Children may spend more time on tablets, watching television or playing video games. For now, parents can be a bit more lenient and understanding about how technology can fill the void created by social distancing.

• Participate in a scavenger hunt. Join or organize a neighborhood scavenger hunt. Walk around the neighborhood looking for school mascot pictures in windows or rainbows on doors, advise the childcare experts at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. This activity can maintain a sense of connection with your community. • Create time for physical activity.

Exercise can tame stress, improve mood and be great for the body in myriad ways. Children and teens should

exercise each day. Families can exercise together to make physical activity more fun. • Set new goals. Ask everyone to do their part to complete “to-doâ€? lists or make a set of goals to achieve while social distancing. Checking off items on the list as they’re completed can give everyone a sense of accomplishment.

Children may need a morale boost while practicing social distancing, and parents can help in various ways.

Dr. Timothy Williams joins family medicine practice at KSB “I had known KSB as a med student and knew in the back of my mind that I would eventually like to practice here.”

Dr. Timothy Williams KSB Hospital welcomes Dr. Timothy Williams, who joins the family medicine practice at KSB’s Town Square Center in Dixon, IL. He takes over the reins from Dr. Joseph Welty, who retires at the end of 2020. Welty has been practicing family medicine in Dixon since 1985.

In the increasingly fragmented world of healthcare, one thing remains constant: family medicine physicians are dedicated to treating the whole person. Family medicine’s cornerstone is an ongoing, personal patient-physician relationship focusing on coordinated care from infancy through geriatrics. In addition to check-ups and annual physicals, family medicine providers also offer a wide range of services to support patients in reaching optimal health.

Born in Peoria and raised in Chillicothe, by the time Williams was in high school, he knew that he wanted to work in the medical field. Early on, he enjoyed medical science in school, but a more significant influence came to him through his boyhood family medicine physician, Dr. Fred White. White had an extensive history in rural medicine, where the doctor practiced in Chillico-

Guard at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel (LTC), serving as the Deputy State Surgeon and Flight Surgeon for the 1-106th Aviation Regiment.

After six years working as a PA, Dr. Williams saw the opportunities that becoming a physician held and went back to medical school. During this time, he came to KSB Hospital to work with Dr. Welty as a medical student for a few months. One of the aspects he enjoyed about his first time at KSB was the rural, small-town medical practice atmosphere.

“I appreciated how family medicine physicians practiced with a high degree of autonomy. All the medical teams, including specialists, were--and still are--collaborative. They made a team effort to take care of the patient,” comments Williams.

the in the 50s. He was instrumental in creating family medicine as a specialty in the 60s and 70s. “Dr. White practiced good old-fashioned family medicine. He was the doctor who did anything and everything,” said Williams.

During his high school junior and senior years, Williams shadowed the doctor and physician’s assistant (PA), who took over Dr. White’s practice after retirement.

Medicine seems to run in Dr. William’s family. His older sister, Tamra Brisbin, PA-C, graduated from PA school while he was a sophomore in high school. She continues to practice in urgent care in the Peoria area.

Dr. Williams began his career in the medical field, serving as an EMT for the Chillicothe Ambulance Squad during his senior year of high school. He then completed both his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in PA studies before joining the United States Army as a medical officer in October 2001 -- soon after the events of 9/11. Williams had always planned on joining the military at some point in life as his family has an extensive history in the armed forces. His grandfather served in WWII, and his father served during the Vietnam era. Currently, Williams is serving in the Illinois Army National

Moving from the Peoria area with Dr. Williams this past spring, is his wife, Tiffani, and their four children ranging in ages 21 to 6. Tiffani has roots in the area, growing up near Oregon, IL. Her family is still in the region, making settling in a smoother transition than most moves are. Tiffany has started a position as a PA with KSB’s Polo Clinic. They purchased a 15-acre property near Byron, IL, with hopes of raising goats and chickens.

Currently, the family is content just getting to know the area and exploring their property.

Reflecting on his past medical school days with Dr. Welty, Williams’ remarked, “I had known KSB as a med student and knew in the back of my mind that I would eventually like to practice here.”

As Dr. Williams continues to work with Dr. Welty, the practice is seeing both new and current patients at KSB’s Town Square Center. During these pandemic times, the facility follows all safety precautions to allow patients peace of mind to visit their primary care providers. To make an appointment or become a new patient in Dr. Williams’ practice, call 815-285-8518 or 1-800-DOCTORS.

How to design a fitness room at home

P

eople exercise for many different reasons. Exercise can improve one’s appearance, reduce the risk for illness, alleviate stress or anxiety, and even help pass some time.

Exercise is often a social activity, but in the wake of social distancing guidelines issue in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, many people have found themselves looking for ways to exercise at home.

Building a home fitness room has never been a more timely project, and such a project can continue to provide rewards even when life returns to some semblance of normalcy. Here’s how to successfully stock a home gym.

• Find a dedicated space. A home gym will be limited by the amount of space that can be devoted to workouts. Possible fitness room locations include a spare bedroom, a garage, a basement, or an enclosed patio. Measure the space so you can pick and choose equipment that will fit. Leave some floor space empty for movement exercises or mat activities.

• Keep the space bright. Darkness can sap energy levels, so invest in mirrors and adequate overhead lighting to make the space inviting. Natural light can make the exercise area more enjoyable.

• Consider the flooring. New flooring can protect against damage and make an area more conductive to working out. Rubber mats can offset echoes and reduce the noise of running on a treadmill or setting down heavy weights.

• Use space-saving equipment. A home gym space will likely not be as expansive as the space inside a traditional fitness center. Thankfully, many activities do not require a lot of space or equipment. Classic exercises like squats, lunges, push ups, and sit ups require little gear but still produce results.

Figure out which equipment you like the most and invest in two or three key pieces. Dumbells of various weights, a medicine ball and a yoga mat can be all you need to create a versatile, effective workout. A TRX system and a doormounted pull-up bar also are great space-saving options.

• Have a TV hookup. A home gym may benefit from a smart TV that you can use to stream workout videos or catch up on the latest news while running the treadmill or using the stationary bike.

A home gym is beneficial year-round, and can be especially valuable when social distancing guidelines are put in place.

Exercise is a significant component of a healthy lifestyle. The U.S. Surgeon General, the Institute of Medicine, the American Heart Association, and the American College of Sports Medicine all say that daily physical activity is necessary, but recommendations from these groups vary in regard to how much exercise is best. Harvard Medical School says most people should aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise or 15 minutes of intense exercise a day. As important as duration of exercise can be, proper form is a must. The following are some ways to avoid injury while exercising.

• Consult with your doctor. Speak with a doctor before beginning an exercise regimen, especially if it has been some time since you last exercised. A physician will tell you if there are certain workouts or activities you should avoid, or give you a green light. Discuss exercise each time you get a physical.

• Consider a personal trainer. Many people do not know where to start their exercise journeys. A personal trainer can help you begin safely and structure a fitness plan that becomes more challenging as your body acclimates to exercise. Personal trainers also can hold you accountable.

Many trainers work independently and may offer guidance remotely through services like Skype, FaceTime or Zoom.

• Begin slowly. Harvard Medical School experts say that sprains, muscle strains, tendinitis, knee injuries, and rotator cuff tears are some of the more common exercise- and sportsrelated injuries. Slowly wading into the water and building up intensity gradually can help prevent some of these injuries.

Choosing non-impact exercises, such as swimming, or using an elliptical machine, can be helpful if you have a preexisting condition like arthritis or osteoporosis or a history of injury.

• Warm up. Don’t start workouts cold. Spend several minutes stretching and gradually increasing your heart rate.

• Exercise caution when lifting weights. Get instructed on the proper form for lifting weights, as there is a risk for serious injury when not following form. Spotters are key when lifting heavy weights or if you’re jittery after an intense routine. Ask a friend or family member to spot you any time you’re doing strength training. This can prevent injuries and emergencies.

Novices need to learn the ropes when they begin to exercise for the first time or after a long pause in physical activity.

s recently as late February, much of the populations of the United States and Canada were living life as they normally would. A few short weeks later, when COVID19 began to affect a greater number of people, many businesses grinded to a halt.

Schools were closed to students, and governments instructed people to stay home as much as possible.

“Social distancing” quickly became part of the general lexicon, with people in many cities and towns staying six feet apart from others when venturing into the public, but mainly staying at home. While it is still too soon to determine the lasting impact of COVID19, the psychological effects of social distancing were apparent almost immediately. According to Dr. Adam Kaplin, M.D. PhD., a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, anyone who has had some trauma in the past may discover that social distancing rekindled previous traumatic feelings. Emily Roberts, a New York-based psychotherapist, says any form of isolation can be devastating to a person’s mood because they are left with their own thoughts.

Various strategies can help to ease the potential psychological burden of social distancing and give people a new perspective on their situation.

OFF

• Focus on the positives. Look at what you have gained rather than lost from social distancing. This may translate to more time with the family; opportunities to exercise more; time to engage in a hobby; or chances to finish up projects around the house.

• Get fresh air. Where laws allow, make time daily to get outdoors, even if it’s for a short jaunt around the neighborhood. Seeing new sights can be good for the mind, and exercise also is good for the body.

• Establish a routine. A routine helps anyone feel more in control, which is helpful when so much of the consequences of COVID-19 are beyond individuals’ control. Psychology Today recommends rising and going to bed on your typical schedule, eating meals at regular intervals and making time for

different activities each day.

• Reach out to people. Social distancing does not mean you have to cease being social. Contact friends or family on the phone, through video chats or even speak with them at a safe distance in person. If you need professional help, many therapists now offer telehealth therapy sessions.

• Turn off the news. Take a break from the constant onslaught of information.

This can reduce stress and anxiety and allow the brain to focus on positive thoughts and ideas.

• Express gratitude. Give thanks for what you have each day and try to help others who may be less fortunate than you.

Social distancing has been a trial for everyone involved. Certain strategies can help turn grief into gratitude.

Put your best home facial face forward Facials can help improve the look and feel of skin and serve as a relaxing at-home treatment.

F

acials can bring about the best in your skin and help treat various conditions.

Few things beat the pampering of a professional facial spa treatment — a luxury that many men and women afford themselves when possible.

However, lately people have had to look elsewhere for popular beauty services.

Data from the Simmons National Consumer Survey for the cosmetic and personal care industry revealed roughly three million Americans received facials four times or more in 2019. Many aestheticians recommend facials every month.

Canadian Living reports that facial treatments across the country can range from $40 to more than $200.

by the spa. But you can use any products on hand to achieve similar results, which means you can shop around for the price point that works for you.

Know your skin Understanding your skin is the key to targeting and addressing issues. Just because a particular moisturizer worked on your sister who has dry skin doesn’t mean it would work the same way on your skin. Consider allergies as well. If you tend to break out when sipping orange juice, a citrus-based toner may not be your best bet.

Gather your tools You likely have all you need at home to give yourself a good facial. A steamy shower or a pot of boiling water satisfies the steam requirement. A nubby, cotton washcloth can help with the cleansing and exfoliation of skin. Chances are you already have a toner, cleanser and moisturizer in your bathroom cabinet that can be utilized.

Understand the facial process

If you want to invest in any specialized tools, aestheticians like Kerry Benjamin from the Los Angeles-based StackedSkincare recommend micro-needling, which is achieved with a dermaroller. This device causes tiny injuries to the skin to increase collagen production and help thicken the skin. A dermaroller can help with issues like dark circles under the eyes and fill in lines.

Professional facials typically feature a series of steps.

These include cleansing, exfoliation, steaming, extraction, specialized spot treatment, toning, and moisturizing.

Aestheticians use products they endorse or those required

Spot-test all products and be gentle when handling skin.

In addition, remember to follow up any facial treatment with good skincare at other times, which includes wearing sunscreen at all times to protect against UV rays.

Though they’re wildly popular, facials have fallen victim to social distancing guidelines that shuttered many salons. While not a carbon copy of the in-depth treatments offered at spas, at-home facials can bridge the gap until spas reopen.
