A smaller incision means big benefits: • It could mean a shorter hospital stay.

• Less discomfort and faster recovery.

• A great alternative to open surgery.

“Don’t take our word for it...”

“My hiatal hernia surgery was too important to me not to have it done the right way the first time. I was recommended to Dr. Atwa by my physician and he changed my life. I have no more pain and I can breath again. I would recommend Dr. Atwa to anyone!”

Dale M. Shoreham, NY. “Before I came to Dr. Parcha’s weight loss seminar I had given up hope. I couldn’t walk 40ft without resting. I had migraine headaches every day from intracranial hypertension. It has been only 3 months since I had my gastric sleeve surgery and I have lost over 50 lbs! I no longer have headaches and I am back at the gym. My regular doctor can’t believe I am the same women and says he will take me off the medication. I have taken for years if I continue this way next month.

Would I recommend Dr. Paracha. You bet I would!

Simply put, you may not feel as peppy as you normally do or have the same energy level or you may not want to be around people or follow your regular routine. If you are a student, you could see your grades declining and if you work, you may see your performance slipping.

Being proactive about your mental health and taking care of yourself can help address depression and mood swings. Bruss recommends engaging in exercise, going for a walk or meeting friends or family for coffee or some fun activity. He also adds it is important to eat a balanced diet, get enough rest at night, do nice things for yourself or find a hobby to help occupy your time. “In the fall and winter, we tend to see an increase in seasonal affective

disorder and in overall stress,� says Dr. Devin Byrd, dean of the College of Health Professions at South University. “Becoming more acutely aware of your habits, stress levels and social activities can help assess and counterbalance the onset of seasonal sadness or depression.�

If you sense that the season may be negatively affecting your well-being, Byrd recommends you initiate a new hobby, increase exercise, watch what you eat and take measures to take an active role in social activities.

Light exposure therapy can combat the signs and symptoms of SAD. During this type of therapy, you sit near a device called a light therapy box. This box gives off a specific kind of light that mimics the natural light from the outdoors and can ease SAD symptoms.

If signs of depression appear in a family member, friend or co-worker, Bruss recommends talking with them and encouraging them to seek help if depression persists or worsens.

He also points out that the holiday season can have a major impact on depression if a person has experienced the death of a family member, close friend or a pet. If the severity of the depression interferes with a person’s ability to function socially or professionally, then it’s time to seek help from a mental health professional, says Bruss. “Seeking professional help is an increasingly common practice and people should not feel anxious about seeing a psychologist for psychotherapy or taking medication for depression if it’s needed — especially for a disorder that is based so heavily on our biology.

The most important thing is to connect with a professional who can help you restore emotional balance, peace and happiness to your life,� Bruss says.

For the older kids, it is about half that. That’s why it’s important that parents, teachers and kids work together to stop the spread of germs in the classroom. Everyone can follow these simple steps to help prevent the spread of viruses that can cause colds and flu this school year: • Get vaccinated: Getting a yearly flu vaccination is the first and most important step in flu prevention. The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older get a flu vaccination each year to protect against the flu virus. • Stay home when sick: If possible, keep kids home from school when they are sick to help prevent teachers and classmates from catching their illness. • Sing and scrub: Make sure kids wash their hands the right way. They should wash frequently with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds (the time it takes to sing the “Happy Birthdayâ€? song twice). • Do the elbow cough: Teach kids to cough into elbows, not hands, since hands are more likely to spread bacteria and viruses through touch. • Disinfect germ hot spots: The CDC recommends disinfecting frequently touched surfaces or objects when

Here’s to keeping the swing in your step.

The Joint Replacement Center

Prescription drug plans can be confusing

I \RX¡UH FRQIXVHG DERXW KHDOWK FDUH UHIRUP DQG 0HGLFDUH \RX¡UH QRW DORQH 0HGLFDUH 3DUW ' RSHQ HQUROOPHQW LV XQGHU ZD\ DQG WKRX VDQGV RI $PHULFDQV DUH ORRNLQJ IRU DQVZHUV A new survey from Express Scripts titled, “Fift y States of Confusion,â€? confirms that seniors are misinformed about how health care reform will impact their Medicare benefits. “It’s worrisome; one in five seniors think they’ll be able to enroll in a health or prescription drug plan through a public health insurance exchange,â€? says Paul Reyes, an Express Scripts’ pharmacist and host of the “Ask the Pharmacistâ€? radio series. “These exchanges are part of the Affordable Care Act, but are only for uninsured people under the age of 65.â€?

Although Medicare Part D has been around since 2006, with some states offering upwards of 36 different plans, the survey revealed that 60 percent of seniors still think that choosing the right Medicare plan is confusing. And with more than half of seniors falsely believing they’ll be paying more for their prescription drugs as a result of health care reform, they are taking matters into their own hands. “Seniors are skipping doctor’s appointments, delaying medication refills and skipping medication doses,� says Reyes. “These misconceptions may not only cost seniors, but could also lead to decisions that may be bad for their health.�

Whether you are preparing to enroll into a Medicare Part D plan or you’re helping a family member or friend, Reyes provides some tips to simplify the process. • Know the basics: You are eligible

for Medicare Part D when you turn 65.

Enrollment began on Oct. 15 and ends on Dec. 7. If you miss this deadline, you won’t be able to enroll again until fall of 2014, unless you qualify for a special election period. If you’re eligible (age 65), and neglect to enroll in Medicare Part D on time, you will be faced with a penalty when you do join the program. • Do your homework: Consider the premium, deductible and co-pays when assessing the overall cost of the plan.

Make sure that the drugs you need to take are on the plan’s formulary (the list of covered medications). Also, look at the plan’s network of pharmacies. Some plans offer a preferred pharmacy network, which could save you money. • Care and convenience: Consider a plan with round-the-clock pharmacist access to help you get the support you need and the savings you want from your plan. Pharmacists can identify shortcuts to help you stick to your treatment regimen and avoid potentially harmful drug interactions. • Making the most of your Medicare dollars: To achieve the most value from your Part D plan, make sure to take your medications as prescribed, use generic medications when clinically appropriate, ask about home delivery and take advantage of the free preventative screening and vaccinations under Medicare Part B. To help seniors and caregivers make informed decisions, Express Scripts’ developed a consumer eGuide titled “Navigating Medicare and Reform: A Roadmap for Seniors and Caregivers,â€? available at www.roadmapformedicare.com. Seniors can also visit www. medicare.gov to learn more about the available Medicare Part D plans in their region.

The caring professional staff of the Joint Replacement Center, led by James Nicholson, MD, and Fazel Khan, MD, have spent years fine-tuning their skills to help you enjoy your favorite activities and keep the swing in your step. If you have joint pain that prevents you from doing the things you love, take a step in the right direction. Call Stony Brook Orthopaedic Associates at (631) 444-4233 today for an appointment.

Visit lihipandknee.com for information about hip and knee conditions, or attend a free seminar on November 6 to learn about hip and knee problems and their treatments. To register, call (631) 444-4000.

SBU Dental Medicine receives grant The Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine and GlycoMira Therapeutics, Inc., have received a two-year $1.5 million grant from the National Institute of Dental & Craniofacial Research to develop a new treatment for periodontal disease, one of the most prevalent chronic inflammatory conditions without any known cure.

The Phase II Small Business Innovation Research award supports the continuing development of a new class of anti-inflammatory agents. The project is led by Stony Brook Medicine’s Maria Ryan, DDS, PhD. The NIDCR award allows GlycoMira to develop its semi-synthetic glycosaminoglycan ether (SAGE) technology as an effective local therapy for gingivitis and periodontitis. Chronic gingival inflammation afflicts over half of all American adults and can progress to periodontal disease, eventually resulting in tooth loss. Periodontal disease is exacerbated by diabetes and smoking, and periodontitis subsequently increases the risk of systemic illness such as cardiovascular and renal disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and pregnancy complications.

“Stony Brook Dental Medicine is committed to increasing awareness of the often silent gum disease known as periodontitis, which if not treated properly can have a significant impact on overall health,” said Dr. Ryan, co-principal investigator of the grant

and the professor and chair of Oral Biology & Pathology at Stony Brook University. “We are thrilled to see this innovative technology that will provide us with new therapeutic options to better manage periodontitis, move to the next phase of preclinical development and work with GlycoMira to introduce this new technology into the clinical setting and the practice of dentistry.”

GlycoMira’s SAGE technology consists of a proprietary class of metabolically stabilized polysaccharides that are systemically and topically safe anti-inflammatory agents. Based on the preclinical results obtained during a previously awarded Stony Brook University/GlycoMira Phase I SBIR, GlycoMira’s SAGEs were found to block multiple pathways of periodontal disease progression. The pilot study demonstrated that GlycoMira’s lead compound, GM-0111, reduced key molecules involved in the destructive processes that lead to bone loss in an accelerated model of periodontal disease.

Additionally, Dr. Ryan said that by targeting receptors for advanced glycation end-products or RAGE pathophysiology, SAGE has a high potential to impact the difficult-to-treat subset of periodontal patients comprising of people with diabetes and smokers.

To further develop the new periodontal treatment technology, Dr. Ryan is collabo-

Five ways to fight fall allergies

To help sufferers fight fall allergy symptoms, ACAAI offers these tips: • Know the culprits — The most common sneeze and wheeze trigger during the fall hay fever season is ragweed pollen.

Ragweed can begin blooming as early as August in some regions. A single ragweed plant may release a million pollen grains in just one day, and one grain can travel up to a hundred miles. Mold can also be particularly bothersome this time of year. Unlike pollen, mold doesn’t die with the first frost.

Rather, spores stop growing during this time. • Avoid triggers — Ragweed pollen and

To help relieve fall allergy symptoms, shower and change and wash clothing after spending time outdoors.

mold spores can float in the air and linger on fallen leaves. After spending time outdoors, shower and change and wash your clothes. Clean your nasal passages, too, by using a salt-water rinse. While working outdoors, wear a pollen mask, such as a National Institute for Occupational Safety and

Health-rated 95 filter mask. Be sure to also keep your car and home windows closed. • Find relief — If you wait until the first sneeze to take your medication, you may be too late. Allergists recommend taking your medication two weeks before symptoms begin, and continuing for two weeks after

the first frost. Because of the nasal and eye symptoms associated with ragweed allergies, symptoms can linger after the pollen is no longer detected in the air. • Get tested — While hay fever may not seem serious, self-diagnosis and selftreatment can be. Many popular over-thecounter medications can cause sleep disturbances and mental impairment. If you have symptoms, make an appointment with an allergist for proper testing. Allergy testing can be done as skin tests or as blood tests, with positive results usually appearing in about 20 minutes. • Arm yourself — Allergy symptoms can be bothersome enough without flu symptoms getting in the way. Because the flu season overlaps with fall allergy season, be sure to get a flu shot. Recent studies have found even those with an egg allergy can safely get a flu shot. An allergist may also prescribe immunotherapy (allergy shots) to provide you with allergy relief during the fall months. While there is no cure for hay fever, this form of therapy can prevent and modify disease progression.

Seasonal allergies and asthma are serious diseases that should be properly treated by a board-certified allergist. More information and free allergy tools, including the My Nasal Allergy Journal, can be found at www.AllergyAndAsthmaRelief.org.

Encourage children to floss Flossing is essential to avoiding cavities at an early age

Learning to brush their own teeth is a lesson all children must master. Although parents ultimately may have children who become proficient at brushing their own teeth, getting them to floss is generally more difficult.

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 41 percent of children aged 2 to 11 had tooth decay in their first teeth.

Dental caries are common among children, likely because they have not become proficient at taking care of their teeth.

Soft, sticky foods are commonplace in young kids’ diets, and these can promote decay. Even well-intentioned gummy vitamins can be sources of dental decay.

Oftentimes, these foods become lodged between the teeth or on the surface of molars. If left in contact with the teeth for too long, food particles become a source of carbohydrates for oral bacteria, and cavities may appear as a result.

Why are they

experts in healing?

Breast Imaging Specialists. Board certified radiologists Dr. Michelle Price and Dr. Joseph Carrucciu only read breast images‌in fact they review more than 14,000 studies every year.

Read and manage annual mammograms to more complex cases. Many freestanding centers only want to handle everyday mammograms and refer their most complex cases to Drs. Price and Carrucciu because they have more than 30 years combined experience in breast health imaging. From annual mammograms to complex cases, you want to go to someone who can do it all!

It is recommended that parents help their children to floss as soon as two teeth are touching and continue to do so until the child is around the age of 8, when a child should have enough dexterity to do it on his or her own.

Flossing is essential to making sure children do not experience cavities at an early age, and it can establish practices that promote oral health throughout life.

HZ LI DQ\ IDPLOLHV FDQ VD\ WKH\ KDYH QHYHU KDG DQ H[SHULHQFH ZLWK FDQFHU Though cancer may strike even the healthiest of persons, there are ways men, women and even children can reduce their risk. One such way is to consume certain foods that researchers feel can reduce cancer risk. Though precisely how these foods fight cancer remains a mystery, cancer researchers feel they can effectively lower an individual’s cancer risk when combined to form a healthy diet. • Beans: Beans boast numerous healthy attributes, and their potential to reduce cancer risk is one of them. Beans contain many phytochemicals that researchers believe protect the cells from the type of damage that can ultimately make a person susceptible to cancer. Beans also have been shown to decelerate tumor growth and prevent tumors from releasing potentially harmful substances that can damage nearby cells. • Colorful fruits and vegetables: It may seem odd that a food’s color can have an impact on cancer risk, but colorful fruits and vegetables contain more cancer-fighting nutrients than fruits and vegetables that aren’t as flashy.

Consuming such fruits and vegetables also helps men and women maintain a healthy body weight, an important benefit when considering overweight and obesity increases a person’s risk for multiple cancers. • Foods with folate: Folate is a B vitamin that can reduce a person’s risk of developing several cancers, including those of the colon, rectum and breast. Those who are fond of a healthy breakfast to begin their day may already be getting healthy doses of folate, which can be found in eggs, fortified breakfast cereals, orange juice and strawberries, among other foods. If toast is your breakfast of choice, opt for whole wheat toast, as whole wheat products are a good source of folate. • Grapes: Studies have shown that resveratrol, a key ingredient in grapes, may prevent the type of damage that triggers the production of cancerous cells.

Though scientists are not yet comfortable saying grapes, or beverages like grape juice and wine, can reduce cancer risk, they believe that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of grapes make them a healthy option. • Tomatoes: Tomatoes are widely beloved, and perhaps that love affair stems from the tomato’s role in fighting cancer. Though the reasons are unknown, tomatoes have been linked to lowering men’s risk for prostate cancer. One such study, a 1995 study from researchers at the Harvard Medical School, found that men who ate 10 or more servings of tomatoes per week reduced their risk of developing aggressive prostate tumors by nearly 50 percent. Later research from the author of the 1995 study found that processed tomatoes, such as those found in tomato paste and tomato sauce, were even more effective at reducing cancer risk than fresh tomatoes. Tomatoes have also been linked to lowering a person’s risk for lung and stomach cancers. • Water: Water may not qualify as a food, but it may protect people from bladder cancer. Potential cancercausing agents in the bladder are diluted when drinking water. In addition, the more water you drink the more frequently you’re likely to urinate, which means cancer-causing agents have less time to come into contact with the lining of your bladder.

Many foods can help individuals in the fight against cancer. Though one food alone may not be potent enough to do the job, when several cancer-fighting foods are included in a person’s diet, the effects may be significant.

an early age, and it can establish practices that promote oral health throughout life. Despite being so important, many parents fail to encourage flossing or are at a loss as to how to make it enjoyable and effective.

Although regular dental floss is one of the first tools for flossing, the dexterity required to wind the floss around little fingers and then thoroughly clean the teeth may discourage children. Parents can look into the wide array of flossing helpers available in stores. In fact, many age-appropriate flossers are now available that feature fun designs and smaller profiles to fit into kids’ mouths more easily. Flossers may be attached to a handle to make back teeth more accessible and promote more effective flossing. Manufacturers such as DenTek, Butler GUM, Plackers Kids, Dr. Fresh, Oral-B, and Brush Buddies offer children’s flossers.

Kids who shy away from flossing may be more likely to use a children’s water flosser. In lieu of string floss, a water flosser uses a pressurized stream of water to dislodge food from between teeth. Although a water flosser may be more messy, children may enjoy the opportunity to play with water and the cleaning sensation provided.

High blood glucose levels impair the body’s ability to heal from oral infections and uncontrolled diabetes can make treating gum disease more difficult, according to the American Diabetes Association. The association is joining with Colgate to launch a new “Watch Your Mouth!â€? campaign to help raise awareness surrounding the often over-looked link between oral health and diabetes. Here are some tips to help you live well with diabetes: • Watch your mouth! Begin to develop healthy oral care habits, like brushing, f lossing and visiting the dentist regularly. • Don’t miss out on your favorite foods. Just eat healthier versions that

everyone in your family can enjoy.

Making simple substitutions to most dishes can help increase nutritional value, while not sacrificing on taste. • Use the right tools. Stay organized with a journal large enough to keep your diet, exercise, goals and health information together. Keep a week’s worth of prescriptions in one place with a handy pill case. • Know your risks. The American Diabetes Association lists the common risk factors for diabetes as being 45 or older, being overweight, not exercising regularly, having high blood pressure and being a part of certain racial and ethnic groups. • Visit your dentist. While your doctor and certified diabetes educator play an important role in helping with your diabetes, so does your dentist. If you don’t see a private-practice dentist, you can visit dental schools that provide services at a fraction of the cost to help you keep your mouth healthy.

Take baby steps to better dental health

What to expect

Hormonal changes can lead to an increased risk of gum disease (gingivitis) throughout pregnancy. Some women may develop “pregnancy tumors,” painless bumps on their gums, most often during their second trimester. In addition to flossing once daily and brushing twice daily, work closely with your dentist throughout pregnancy to flag issues before they become problematic.

“Delaying necessary treatment for dental problems could result in significant risk to you and your baby,” said Dr. Maria Lopez Howell, DDS, spokesperson for the American Dental Association. “It’s worth your time to visit the dentist even if you don’t think you have dental problems.”

According to national experts in women’s health, public health and dental health, a new consensus statement based on scientific evidence reaffirms that preventive oral care, including the use of dental X-rays, pain medication and local anesthesia for dental procedures, is safe throughout pregnancy.

“Don’t put dental care on the back burner, as the

Together with the ADA, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center at Georgetown University and the Health Resources and Services Administration, recommend following a few simple steps to help maintain a healthy mouth during pregnancy: • Get dental health treatment, as recommended by your dentist, before delivery. Schedule an appointment with your dentist if your last dental visit was more than six months ago. The use of dental X-rays, pain medication and local anesthesia for dental procedures is safe throughout pregnancy.

• If you experience morning sickness, rinse your mouth with a teaspoon of baking soda in a cup of water to prevent stomach acid from harming your teeth.

• Drink water throughout the day that contains the recommended amount of fluoride to help to keep you hydrated and prevent tooth decay.

• Avoid foods that are high in added sugar and drink water or milk instead of juice, fruit-flavored drinks or soda.

IF YOU THInk IT’S TOO LaTe TO CHanGe, reaD THe COmmenTS FrOm mY prOUD paTIenTS beLOW: The results I have achieved working with Dr. Dunaief have been quite remarkable. My primary goal was to reduce average blood pressure to acceptable levels.

This was accomplished in a little over 3 months.

Coincidentally I was able to reduce my overall cholesterol from 250 to 177 with a much improved LDL/HDL ratio in 4 months.

In addition I lost over 30 lbs and went from 24% body fat to 17.7%. I have some good days but mostly great days and I’m very happy with the results and look forward to even more improvement in the future.

—D.L., age 64

“My pain has subsided considerably. But, I must tell you that I don’t think I would have made it this far without your help. I was a mess when I first saw you, but you gave me a new sense of strength, new knowledge about nutrition and just a better regard for myself.” ~ Nurse Practitioner/ IBS and ulcerative colitis sufferer, age 62

“My cardiologist was so impressed with my results. By following Dr. Dunaief’s advice, I’ve been able to stop all three of my blood pressure medications. My heart palpitations, which were limiting my activities, have dramatically reduced in frequency, my energy levels have increased and I have lost 15 pounds in two months.” ~ Nurse, age 62 “I feel awesome after eating the diet, especially in the morning. I can’t believe how much has improved with such small changes. My cholesterol is normal, and my triglycerides dropped dramatically - almost 200 points! My blood pressure medication was stopped, yet my blood pressure is the best it has ever been.” ~ E.M., age 44

“…just wanted to share the…great news – I passed my fitness test and achieved my highest score ever! Thank you for all your support and help. You know how important this was for me.

I’m so pleased with the results.” ~ Military Surgeon, age 43

How bacteria become resistant

When bacteria are exposed to antibiotics, they start learning how to outsmart the drugs. This process occurs in bacteria found in humans, animals and the environment. Resistant bacteria can multiply and spread easily and quickly, causing severe infections. They can also share genetic information with other bacteria, making the other bacteria resistant as well. Each time bacteria learn to outsmart an antibiotic, treatment options are more limited, and these infections pose a greater risk to human health.

Infections can happen to anyone, anywhere

Anyone can become infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria anywhere and anytime. Most infections occur in the community, like skin infections with MRSA and sexually transmitted diseases.

However, most deaths related to antibiotic resistance occur from drug-resistant infections picked up in health care settings, such as hospitals and nursing homes.

What you can do to protect yourself against drug-resistant infections

There are many ways you can help prevent the creation and spread of resistance. First, when you are sick, do not demand antibiotics from your doctor or take antibiotics that were not prescribed to you directly for your specific illness.

When taking antibiotics, do not skip doses, and make sure to follow the directions about dose and duration from your doctor.

Second, like all diseases, common safety and hygiene methods can prevent disease and spread. Make sure to: â&#x20AC;˘ Get updated and regular vaccinations against drug-resistant bacteria â&#x20AC;˘ Wash your hands before eating and after using the restroom to avoid putting drug-resistant bacteria into your body â&#x20AC;˘ Wash your hands after handling uncooked food to prevent ingesting drugresistant bacteria that can live on food â&#x20AC;˘ Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria, including potential drugresistant bacteria

What health care provides can do to protect patients from drug-resistant infections

There are many ways to help provide the best care to your patients while protecting them against antibiotic-resistant infections. â&#x20AC;˘ Follow all necessary infection control recommendations, including hand hygiene, standard precautions, and contact precautions. â&#x20AC;˘ Diagnose and treat resistant infections quickly and efficiently. Treatment options change often because resistance is complex. Make sure to follow the latest recommendations to ensure you are prescribing appropriately. â&#x20AC;˘ Only prescribe antibiotics when likely to benefit the patient, and be sure to prescribe the right dose and duration. â&#x20AC;˘ Be sure to clearly label dose, duration, and indication for treatment, and include appropriate laboratory diagnostic tests when placing antibiotic orders.

This will help other clinicians caring for the patient to change or stop therapy when appropriate. â&#x20AC;˘ Take an antibiotic time out, reassessing therapy after 48 to 72 hours. Once additional information is available, including microbiology, radiographic, and clinical information, a decision can be made on whether to continue the same therapy. â&#x20AC;˘ When transferring patients, ensure the other facilities are notified of any infection or known colonization. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep tabs on resistance patterns in your facility and in the area around your facility. â&#x20AC;˘ Finally, encourage prevention methods with your patients. Make sure they understand how to protect themselves with vaccinations, treatment, and infection control practices such as hand-washing and safe food handling.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, like C. difficile, are becoming more common. Follow guidelines to help prevent their spread.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up on skin during the colder months ahead

And with all of the gatherings and parties that happen through fall and winter, you want to feel comfortable and confident in whatever you wear â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a short cocktail dress or a sleeveless top.

So, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the type to hide red, flaky skin under layers of clothing every fall and winter, consider these simple tips that will have you prepared to bare your arms and legs during one of the biggest party seasons. â&#x20AC;˘ Stop the scratching â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With dry air comes dry skin, which can cause irritating itchy spots. Scratching those spots damages the skin and leaves red welts amongst the white scaly patches. â&#x20AC;˘ Add a little moisture into the air at home using a humidifier, especially in the bedroom where you sleep at night.

Research by the University of Minnesota found that if the outdoor temperature is between zero and 40 F, and the indoor temperature is set at 70 F, the relative humidity level indoors should be between 30 and 40 percent. Your skin, hair and sinuses will notice the extra humidity indoors, helping you to feel more comfortable in your skin. â&#x20AC;˘ Moisturizer is key â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Although a simple step, moisturizing is often over-

looked. But youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be surprised how applying a layer every day can make you feel more comfortable and confident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all the parties during fall and winter, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to sacrifice fashion because of poor skin care choices,â&#x20AC;? shares FashionIndie.com blogger Beca Alexander. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better feeling than flaunting your legs in the perfect little black dress.â&#x20AC;?

Areas to remember moisturizing include the elbows, feet and neck, as these areas build up a tough layer of skin when dried out. â&#x20AC;˘ Add a bit of coloring â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Self-tanning product technology has improved greatly over the years, and allows women to give their skin a hint of color without exposing it to any UV rays. After moisturizing, carefully apply a spray or cream tanner to the skin, being sure to thoroughly wash your hands and wrists once finished. Apply lightly and work in layers, so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overdo. â&#x20AC;˘ Cater to special features â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Lips, eyes and the nose are often affected by the colder temperatures more than the rest of the body. Be sure to give these features of your face loving attention with extra moisturizing products like lip balm and ointment during the winter months. Also be sure to cover your face while outside with scarves to help prevent additional damage from the cold wind.

By maintaining your skinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moisture as much as possible, you will feel much more comfortable and know that you can show off your beauty, even as the temperatures drop and the air gets drier.

Now more than ever parents must be vigilant and involved. There are actually some simple ways to help guide them and not try to control them.â&#x20AC;?

While teens face many health-related issues, experts recommend that parents focus on three key teen health issues and consider some simple approaches to instill good habits:

Oral Health

Parents and teens both know that brushing and flossing are essential for good oral health. But they may be unaware that crooked teeth (also called malocclusion), if left untreated, can lead to periodontal disease and premature wearing of the teeth. Crooked teeth can put abnormal stress on teeth and jaws and cause difficulty with effectively biting, chewing and speaking.

While straight, attractive teeth can certainly boost a teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental health and self-esteem, teeth straightening is clearly much more than just a cosmetic issue. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier than ever to straighten teeth, with choices (such as plastic removable appliances) that eliminate many of the negatives associated with traditional braces. Teens no longer have to worry about having the conspicuous look of metal braces.

Plus, removing the aligners allows wearers easier access to brushing and flossing, which reduces the risk of tooth decay.

As the mouth is truly the health gateway to the body, experts suggest a complete oral health routine including brushing, flossing and regular visits to the dentist and orthodontist.

The single most important way parents can teach teens about health, diet and lifestyle habits is to model those habits themselves, experts agree. Involve teens in meal-planning and preparation, demonstrating good nutrition and healthful choices. Encourage physical activity by engaging the entire family in fun, healthful exercise such as cycling, hiking or playing sports together.

Just talking about weight, diet and appearance is not only not enough, it can actually be detrimental to teensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health. A study by the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis found that when parents focus on weight, size and appearance when talking to teens,

they may actually increase a teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk of engaging in unhealthy weight-control measures such as fad diets or binge eating.

Even though theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re approaching adulthood, teens still need parental guidance and support when it comes to health, but not interference. The NFID study found that 60 percent of teens could come up with at least one reason to ditch their annual checkup, with a third thinking they only need to see a doctor when sick. But of those who did get a checkup, 84 percent of doctors surveyed said exams went better when parents took a supportive stance outside the exam room.

Stress

Diet and weight

More than a third of American children and teens are obese or overweight, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Health experts agree, however, that weight is only one reason to emphasize a healthy diet for teens. Good nutrition is just as important for teens as it is for young children, since teenagersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bodies go through stressful development and mentally they are creating eating habits that can follow them throughout life.

Spine problems can be treated by our physiatrists using the latest nonsurgical procedures. While other more complex conditions such as a spinal trauma, spinal tumors or disc herniations/bulges require the expertise and experience of our neurosurgeons.

Extreme stress isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good for anyone, and todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teens have more on their plates than ever before â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from academic and extracurricular commitments and college preparation to family obligations, friendships and even working outside the home. Doctors polled in the NFID study reported stress-related conditions were among the topics teens and parents were most likely to bring up at their annual checkups.

In addition to short-term physical symptoms like increased heart rate and breathing, headache, neck stiffness and pain, and stomach upset, stress can create long-term problems, too. Over time, stress can affect the immune system, heart, blood pressure, lungs, reproductive organs and stomach. In teens, it can make existing acne even worse.

One simple solution is more exercise. Getting off the couch or away from the computer screen and engaging in physical activity is a great stress buster. Exercise releases tension and excess energy, and provides physical and cosmetic benefits, too.
