America continues tostruggle with obesity

In America today, obese individuals are at anincreased risk of stroke, obesity, heart diseaseand high blood pressure. A staggering twenty-five million American children are overweightor obese. It has been report-ed that the US continues tostruggle heavily with obesity.This is not surprising, whenunhealthy eating optionssuch as fast food are so con-veniently available. Theseinexpensive, low qualityoptions are abundant, makingit effortless and inexpensiveto get a meal that is loadedwith saturated fat, trans fat, and sodium, whichare low in the nutrients that the human bodyneeds. With an increased focus on technology,children can be entertained for hours by theinternet and videogames. Therefore, less time

is being spent exerting energy outdoors or atlocal gyms and community centers. The Centerfor Disease Control and Prevention estimatesseventeen percent of children ages two to nine-

teen are obese. This numberhas tripled since 1980.

Obese children are at ahigher risk for health prob-lems not seen until adulthood.High blood pressure and ele-vated cholesterol levels arecomplications associated withobesity. Type 2 diabetes,which was previously onlyseen in adults, is now becom-

ing more prevalent in children ages ten tonineteen. The disease has been linked to kid-ney failure, blindness, and early death. In addi-tion, overweight or obese children have report-ed higher rates of depression and low self-esteem. These children are more likely to beobese as adults and suffer severe health prob-lems such as heart disease and cancer.

The Sidney-Shelby County Y's goal continuesto be, “To put Christian principles into practiceto benefit all Shelby County residents throughprograms that build healthy spirit, mind andbody for all”. By instilling strong, healthy prin-ciples at a young age, children are more likelyto continue these habits as adults. Physicalactivity has been linked to controlling weightand weight loss, as well as reducing bloodpressure, the risk of diabetes and cancer. It canalso have a tremendous effect on improvingself-confidence.

Activities offered at the Y include, but are notlimited to, our gymnastics and acrobatics pro-grams. The primary objective of these pro-grams is to provide each individual the oppor-tunity to develop his or her potential throughan instructional program that encouragesdevelopment of the total person-mentally,physically, and emotionally. Football, t-ball,basketball, and soccer are also offered season-ally, and foster an environment of teamwork

Celebrating 15 years of helping seniors better their life!

Provided by Senior Center ofSidney-Shelby County

David McKay, Executive Director

What does being a “Senior” mean? Itmeans that the print in books and maga-zines is getting smaller. It means people arestarting to “mumble”. It means we have alot of “ologists” (cardiologists, pulmonolo-gists, oncologists), in our day planners. Itmeans that all the doctors and policemanlook like kindergarteners.

But being a “senior” also means livinglonger, living healthier and enjoying morethings in life. It means learning new thingsthat we never had time to do because wewere working. It means meeting new andinteresting people and it means participat-

ing in all kinds of events and activities.Now where could a “senior” like you do

all of things thing in one spot? I have theanswer for you. The Senior Center ofSidney/Shelby County.

Being 50 or better in Shelby County isnow being described as a positive. That’sbecause you can join the Center at the ageof 50.

After joining, you will be amazed at theprograms and events we have here. Let’sstart with our new expanded exerciseroom. We have added many newmachines. We now have two ellipticalmachines, three treadmills, three recum-bent bicycles, weight resistance equipment,and a trainer who will help you develop a

Wilson Home Health and Hospice Care, adivision of Wilson Memorial Hospital, isoffering a new program to better serve theirpatients and senior citizens in the area.Touching Liveswith Caring Calls(TLC), is a commu-nity service pro-gram designed forsenior citizens wholive alone and arefacing health issues.“We identified a community need through

contact with senior citizens groups, localcommunity outreach programs, and physi-cians,” said Joann Scott, director of WilsonHome Health and Hospice Care. “We wereall in agreement that a communications sys-tem needed to be put in place to helpensure the safety and well-being of oursenior citizen population. That is why wedeveloped the Wilson TLC program.”Many senior citizens have emergency

response buttons, but there are times whenthe buttons are removed to shower or getdressed. It is during this time that a personcan fall or trip and no one would know.The response buttons can sometimes pro-vide a false sense of security.

How does the Wilson TLC programwork?When a person is referred to Wilson’s

TLC program by a family member, physi-cian or on their own, basic information isobtained, including the name of theirphysician, next of kin, power of attorney,first and second responder information andthe contact phone number for each. Thisinformation is electronically secured andaccessible by Wilson staff only in the caseof an emergency.

Once a person signs up to be a part ofWilson’s TLC program, he or she isassigned to a volunteer. The volunteermakes daily phone calls to check-in andmake sure the person is up, alert and safe.These calls are of friendly nature and are

not intendedto providem e d i c a ladvice or serv-ices. If the vol-unteer isunable to

make contact or feels as if something iswrong with the person, the volunteer willcall a designated responder, notifying themthat no contact was made or that there

and cooperation. In addition, the Y features arock-climbing wall which is the only one of itskind in the Shelby County area.The American Heart Association recommends

a minimum of sixty minutes of physical activitya day. The Y has taken this into considerationin providing organized activities to promoteheart-healthy children. Fitastic Fun, a programrecently introduced to the Y, is a prime exam-ple. It combines cardio and strength training,along with basic nutritional education to chil-dren age six to twelve. The Sports Conditioningclass promotes teamwork, improves speed,power and agility, and focuses on the mostessential aspects of successful sports perform-ance.Incorporating technology as a tool to pro-

mote physical activity could be the key toreaching a sedentary child. Encouraging games,like Wii Fit and Dance Dance Revolution, allowchildren to partake in playing a video gamewhile getting them off of the couch at the sametime. Some smart phones feature pedometer

applications, making tracking fitness goals fun.It is impossible for children to change an

unhealthy routine on their own. Everyday lifemodifications should be made as a family, topromote success. Eating breakfast, sharingmeals, and engaging in physical activities as afamily promote bonding and a healthy lifestyle.The Y offers swimming, tennis, racquetball,and tae kwon do, which are activities that canbe enjoyed as a family. Parents should strive tolead children by example, praise progress, anduse missteps as learning opportunities.Changing habits takes time and commitment.Children, like adults, do not need to be ath-

letes to be physically fit. Finding an activity thatis enjoyable and fun to share with your childwill make reaching family fitness goals morerealistic. Staying involved will make those goalsmore manageable. Limiting time spent pluggedin to the television and increasing time spentmoving will make for happy, healthy children.The Y strives to be the place to make thosegoals attainable.

As welcome a season as spring often is,for some it’s a time to run and hide indoors.Thanks to allergies, many people find springto be a time of sneezes, coughs and medi-cines. Below is a list of some of the morecommon allergies, their possible causes andsome of the common effects.Hay Fever

Cause: Pollen, be it from trees, grass,flowers or weeds.

Effect: Stuffy, runny nose, which typicallybrings on bouts of sneezing. Hay fever alsoaffects the eyes, causing watery, itchy eyesthat sufferers feel they need to rub orscratch. Nasal itch is also common.Asthma

Cause: Asthma attacks are not exclusiveto allergy season, but they can be triggeredby a change in seasons, pollen count, ciga-rette smoke, dust mites, furry animals, viralinfections or even stress.

Effect: Asthma effects a person’s breath-ing, so coughing, wheezing or tightness inthe chest are all indicators of asthma.

Allergy Season

Many people equate "exercise" with doinga workout video or heading to the gym. Thisdoesn't have to be the case at all. Regulardaily activities provide a lot of the exercise aperson needs and can be tweaked to provideeven more.

• Move while watching TV or playingvideo games: There are several video gamestoday that make physical activity part of thefun. Even if your gaming system doesn't fea-ture getting up and being active, do so onyour own. While watching a television show,dance, walk in place, do jumping jacks, orany other activity during commercials.

• Go outdoors: Instead of recreationalactivities inside of the house where space islimited, play games, go on walks, or organ-ize a pick-up sports game in the neighbor-hood. You'll burn calories, get exercise, andenjoy fresh air, too.

• Leave the car at home: Whenever possi-ble, bike, walk, rollerblade, or get to yourdestination another way. Suburban life tendsto create the car-to-store-to-car-to-house pat-

tern, which doesn't make for much physicalactivity.

• Keep moving: If you simply must sit,such as in school or at the office, tap or kickyour legs. A little movement is better thannone at all.

• Park further away: When in store park-ing lots, park furthest from the entrance soyou're forced to walk a bit more to and fromthe car.

• Take a walking tour: Sightseeing duringa vacation? Many big cities are perfect forstrolling. With so much to see, you won'teven realize how much walking you'redoing.

When it comes to physical health,many people are aware that makingexercise a part of the daily routine is agood means to getting healthier.However, exercise is only one part ofthe process. Combining exercise witha healthy diet is the best way toachieve optimal physical health. But ahealthy diet doesn't have to mean afull dietary overhaul. Rather, there areways to alter dietary habits withouthaving to sacrifice favorite foods.• Pan-fry or saute foods with a

nonstick spray or low-calorie buttersubstitute. Bake or broil instead of fry-ing.• Replace sugar with substitutes

when sweetening foods and bever-ages.• Order from the light menus now

offered at many restaurants, or pur-chase low-calorie or reduced-fat prod-ucts at the grocery store.• Try a meal plan using "exchange

lists" based on foods grouped togeth-er according to similar food values.Most exchange lists include several"free" foods: those lower than 20 calo-ries per serving, such as many low-calorie, sugar-free foods and bever-ages.• Never skip meals. Eat three to six

times a day in smaller portions tokeep from getting hungry.• Practice patience when eating.

You don't have to be full at the end ofevery meal. In fact, eating slowly canhelp you better determine when it'stime to leave the table without feelingstuffed.• Weigh yourself regularly, but

don't put too much stock in the scale,particularly if you're feeling better.

Simple waysto alter eating

habits

You feel a pain in your chest. “It’s nothing,”you tell yourself. Then it returns. You don’thave time for this. You are being a hypochon-driac and it’s only a false alarm. But maybe,deep down, you are just too afraid to admityou might be enduring a heart attack.

Indeed, heart pain is nothing to take lightly.But unfortunately, half of all people having aheart attack wait more than two hours beforegetting help, according to the American HeartAssociation (AHA). While 250,000 people dieeach year before they get to a hospital, imme-diate action can prevent many of these deaths.

Heart attacks can happen suddenly andinstantly. But most come on slowly. Accordingto AHA, you might be having a heart attack if:

— You feel uncomfortable pressure, squeez-ing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest.It will last more than a few minutes or go awayand then come back.

— You have pain or discomfort in one orboth arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.

— You may feel out of breath along withchest discomfort or before chest discomfort.

— You might have a cold sweat, feel nau-seous or lightheaded.

Not all these signs occur in every heartattack, but if even some are present, it’s worthit to get help. If you think you might be hav-ing a heart attack, immediately call 911 or yourlocal emergency services. If you can’t reachhelp, have someone drive you to the hospital.Drive yourself only if there’s no other way toget there.

You can’t control factors like a family historyof early heart disease, your age or pre-existingheart disease. But there are other ways you canlower your risk of getting a heart attack. Watchwhat you eat with a diet low in saturated fat,cholesterol and salt. Keep your health in check— manage your weight; get regular medicalcheck ups; monitor cholesterol and blood pres-sure levels; don’t smoke; and keep physicallyactive by exercising.

How to know if you’re having a heart attack


To help young people develop healthy attitudes aboutfood and eating, parents and their children shouldbecome more educated about the foods you eat andbehaviors centered around eating. Here are some tipsto help your family develop healthier eating habits:

1. Plan healthy meals. Your child should eat threewell-balanced meals of average size each day.Serve fewer fatty foods. It is best to prepare foodsthat are baked, broiled or steamed, rather thanfried. In addition to a small serving of lean meat,provide large servings of vegetables.

2. Check serving size. Always refer to the nutritionlabel on prepared meals and snacks for the servingsize. A serving of potato chips might be listed ashaving 200 calories, but you may be surprised tolearn that the serving size is only 10 chips. Eatingthe whole bag might mean consuming more than1,000 calories!

3. Stick to single servings. Avoid serving seconds ofthe main course or dessert. Recommend eatingmore salad or vegetables if your child is still hungry.

4. Serve healthy desserts. Fresh fruit instead of icecream, cookies or cake makes for a healthier andlower-calorie dessert option.

5. Plan for smart grocery shopping. Buy low-calorie and low-fat meals, snacks and desserts, aswell as low-fat or skim milk and diet soft drinks.To limit the amount of high-calorie desserts orsnacks in your house, avoid buying them in thefirst place.

6. Eat at the table. Start a family tradition of eatingmeals together in the kitchen or dining roomwhenever possible. Eating on the run or whilewatching TV leads to unhealthy eating habits.

7. Limit fast-food meals. Even though they areconvenient for the busy parent, you should limithow often you allow your children to eat fastfood, as it is usually high in fat and calories.

8. Read food labels. Routinely check the nutritionlabel of the foods that your family is eating tobetter understand serving size, calories and thenutrients provided by different foods.

9. Eat foods low in calories and low in fat.Remember to be careful of many low-fat or “dietfoods,” as they can still be high in calories eventhough they are low in fat.

10. Have regular meals. Your child should eat threewell-balanced meals of average size each day, plustwo nutritious snacks. Discourage skipping ofmeals, especially breakfast.

11. Limit snacks. Two snacks a day, preferably oflow-calorie foods such as raw fruits or vegetables,is recommended. Avoid high-calorie or high-fatfoods such as chips and cookies.

12. Consider drinking habits. You should encourageyour child to drink four to six glasses of watereach day, especially before meals. Water has nocalories and it will help you to feel full. Otherhealthy drink options include diet sodas andlowfat milk. Limit or avoid regular soft drinks, asthey contain 150 to 170 calories per serving.

13. Don’t completely outlaw any foods. Allow yourchild to have special foods or desserts on specialoccasions.

14. Avoid strict diets. Fasting and fad diets rarelywork and will discourage your child fromcontinuing. Adult diet programs, such as theAtkins diet, have not been proven safe or effectivedieting tools for children.
