Physical
Physical activity, including exercise, is good for you. If youre already active, keep it up. It may even be time to push yourself a little harder, so try a new activity, or find new ways to add exercise to your daily life. Dont worry if youve never exercised or if you stopped exercising for some reason. Regular exercise and physical activity are important to the physical and mental health of almost everyone, including older adults. Being physically active can help you continue to do the things you enjoy and stay independent as you age. Regular physical activity over long periods of time can produce long-term health benefits. Thats why health experts say that older adults should be active every day to maintain their health. In addition, regular exercise and physical activity can reduce the risk of developing some diseases and disabilities that develop as people grow older. In some cases, exercise is an effective treatment for many chronic conditions. For example, studies show that people with arthritis, heart disease or diabetes benefit from regular exercise. Exercise also helps people with high blood pressure, bal-

ance problems or difficulty walking. One of the great things about physical activity is that there are so many ways to be active. For example, you can be active in short spurts throughout the day, or you can set aside specific times of the day on specific days of the week to exercise. Many physical activities, such as brisk walking, raking leaves or taking the stairs whenever you can are free or low cost and do not require special equipment. You could also check out an exercise video from the library or use the fitness center at a local senior center. Physical activities are activities that get your body moving, such as gardening, walking the dog, raking leaves and taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Exercise is a form of physical activity that is specifically planned, structured and repetitive, such as weight training, tai chi, or an aerobics class. Physical activity and exercise are both important and can help improve your ability to do the everyday activities you enjoy. www.nia.nih.gov
Tips to Prevent
A simple thing can change your life, such as tripping on a rug or slipping on the kitchen floor. If you fall, you might be like the thousands of older men and women each year who break or fracture a bone. A broken bone might not sound awful. But for older people, a break can be the start of more serious problems. Many things can make you more likely to fall. Your eyesight, hearing, muscles and reflexes might not be as sharp as when you were younger. Diabetes, heart disease or problems with your thyroid, nerves or blood vessels can affect your balance. Some medicines can cause dizziness. Then theres osteoporosis, a disease that makes bones weak and more likely to break easily. Many people think osteoporosis is only a problem for women past menopause, but it can also affect older men. Weak bones can mean that even a minor fall might be dangerous. Doing things like gardening, walking or going to the local senior center are also important for staying healthy. The good news is that there are simple ways you can prevent most falls. If you take care of your overall health, you may be able to lower your chances of falling. Most of the time, falls and accidents dont just happen. www.nia.nih.gov
Here are a few hints that will help you avoid falls and broken bones:
Learn how strong your bones are. Stay physically active. Have your eyes and hearing tested often. Find out about the side effects of any medicine you take. Get enough sleep. Limit your alcohol intake. Use a cane, walking stick or walker. Wear rubber-soled, low-heeled shoes that fully support your feet. Have handrails on both sides of all stairs from top to bottom, and make sure they are tightly fastened. Make sure there is good lighting with light switches at the top and bottom of stairs and each end of a long hall. Mount grab bars near toilets and on both the inside and outside of your tub and shower. Place non-skid mats, strips or carpet on all surfaces that may get wet. Keep night lights on. Keep electric cords and telephone wires near walls and away from walking paths. Keep emergency numbers in large print near each telephone. www.nia.nih.gov
Preventing Childhood
Be positive and proactive, and dont get discouraged if you or your child has a setback. Keep your eye on the end goal of creating a healthier lifestyle for your family.
STATEPOINT With nearly one-third of children overweight or obese, childhood obesity has become an epidemic. Fortunately, its also treatable and preventable. Parents want their children to be healthy, but given the mixed messages about food and weight in our culture, theyre unsure how to address the problem. However, there is a great deal families can do to support each other in eating well and staying fit, says Dr. Sandra Hassink, chair of the Obesity Leadership Work Group at the American Academy of Pediatrics.
time in front of TV sets or computers, are major contributors to obesity. Children should get no more than one to two hours of screen time a day, not counting what they need to complete schoolwork, Hassink says. Dont place a television in your childs room. If television serves as background noise in your home, try turning on the radio when you come home instead. Music may lead to dancing, and talk radio fills the quiet as you and the kids do chores.
Be a Role Model
Think About the Big Picture
hildren do as they see, not as you say. Its important to evaluate your own healthy living before trying to instill the right habits in your kids. Assess your own diet by looking at whats in the fridge and what snacks you keep on hand. While serving size and calorie count may vary, both children and adults should be eating five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Also, take the time to exercise. Doing so will give your kids a roadmap for adulthood as they begin to see exercise as a fun part of daily family life. If a child is already overweight, involve the whole family in a fitness routine rather than singling out one child. After all, everyone needs an hour of physical activity a day, regardless of size or weight.
ou are not alone in trying to curb the obesity epidemic, and using the professionals and resources at your disposal can help. Talk to your pediatrician about your childs nutrition and activity level. Pediatricians can also measure the Body Mass Index of your child to help you gain a better understanding of your childs health. Parents can also work with schools and community groups to provide healthy options. Encourage teachers to schedule time for daily physical activity. With the support of other parents, ask school officials to remove soda machines and unhealthy snacks. Also make sure all water fountains are working and sanitary. For more ideas on how to prevent childhood obesity and keep your family fit, visit HealthyChildren.org. Being healthy is about consistently making decisions that are in your familys best interest, Hassink says. Be positive and proactive, and dont get discouraged if you or your child has a setback. Keep your eye on the end goal of creating a healthier lifestyle for your family.

ADK 2015: A Concept for healthy kids

By Jenna Burleigh Two winters of breast feeding, zero sweetened beverages, one hour of exercise each day and five servings of fruits. This is what doctors are calling the ADK 2015, and several practices in Plattsburgh, as well as one in Malone, are adopting the concept. It begins with breastfeeding. Many mothers, Plattsburgh pediatrician Dr. David Beguin of Primary Care Health Partners said, dont make it beyond two weeks, let alone two winters of breastfeeding. Mothers who breastfeed have shown they are less at risk for breast cancer, while children who are breastfed benefit from his or her mothers immune system. When a baby breastand practices. It is often difficult for people to begin a strict workout regimen, Beguin said. So it is important to start with a small yet effective goal for physical activity. One in three children is at risk of becoming obese. The doctor in the office cannot fix this problem, Beguin said, but he believes the ADK 2015 concept could help prevent some of those cases.

feeds, he or she gets an immune system boost from mom, Beguin said. Even if a mother gets sick, it is best, he said, to continue breastfeeding, so the baby can develop the
same defenses. Sugary beverages can have negative effects on a childs diet if consumed in excess. Water, Beguin said, should replace sports drinks at games
The final portion of the ADK 2015 concept is eating five servings of fruits. ADK 2015 has been implemented recently in our area, and it is too soon to notice much for results. However, in the next two to three years, Beguin said, the community should see changes in the occurrence of childhood obesity.
Doctors Notes: Breakdown of ADK 2015

By Dr. Heidi Moore ADK: Active lifestyles, Dietary choices, Keeping a balance. This concept is part of the Adirondack Medical Home Pilot. 2: Every child can benefit from the concept of healthy basics, which start when a baby is born. Babies who breastfeed have fewer trips to the doctors office and fewer illnesses and are less likely to be infected with RSV, a nasty infection in the lungs that starts to show up in the North Country sometime around Thanksgiving. The longer a baby nurses, the healthier he or she will be. 0: Zero means no sugary drinks. That includes sports drinks, juice, sodas and even flavored water. 1: Kids need at least one hour of physical activity a day. They need to burn off some energy so their minds can focus when its time to sit still and learn in school. This guide helps with local resources, but kids can be physically active from home. Fifty jumping jacks and a game of tag are great ways to stay active inside. 5: Carbohydrates and fats are important for healthy kids, but most kids get plenty of those. So the focus for healthy basics and what to eat is on five servings of fruits and veggies a day. So cut up some carrot sticks, or make some ants on a log. Create quick snacks that are easy to serve anything to make eating fruits and veggies fun. Most importantly keep a balance Kids should focus on having fun, learning and growing, not on weight charts and calories. ADK 2015 gives the basics for a healthy lifestyle, four easy guidelines to be on the way to growing up healthy!

Gardening within Your Own Home

-Information provided by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Essex
Anyone from small children, folks living in small spaces or the most senior of citizens can enjoy watching things grow by gardening in containers. Flowers for beauty, vegetables for the table, herbs or mixed plantings are all possibilities. wooden barrels, old carts or wheelbarrows, window boxes, metal tubs, hanging baskets, ornamental pots and much more! You can choose the size, shape and cost to fit your needs and desires. The most important feature of the container is that it will allow for drainage when you water or it rains. The soil must be able to drain water. Without drainage, the plant roots will be saturated with water and unable to breathe.
Container gardening offers many advantages; containers can be less work because they can be placed closer to a water source; they offer less soil to weed; they can be The deeper and bigplaced at a height that ger the pot, the less wacan minimize bending tering it will need.

Pedestrian Safety:
How big is the problem?
In 2008, 4,378 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in the United States, and another 69,000 pedestrians were injured. This averages one crash-related pedestrian death every 2 hours, and a pedestrian injury every 8 minutes. Pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to be killed in a car crash on each trip.
Complete
Who is most at risk?

Older adults: Pedestrians ages 65 and older accounted for 18 percent of all pedestrian deaths and an estimated 10 percent of all pedestrians injured in 2008. Children: In 2008, one in every five children between the ages of 5 and 9 who were killed in traffic crashes was a pedestrian. Drivers and pedestrians who are alcoholimpaired: Alcohol-impairmenteither for the driver or for the pedestrianwas reported in 48 percent of the traffic crashes that resulted in pedestrian death. Of the pedestrians involved, 36 percent had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above the illegal limit of .08 grams per deciliter or higher. Higher vehicle speeds increase both the likelihood of a pedestrian being struck by a car and the severity of injury. In addition, most pedestrian and bicyclist deaths occur in urban areas, non-intersection locations and at night.
Why Should W
Complete streets are designed to allow safe and convenient access to roadways for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, transit vehicles, freight and people of all ages and abilities. Why do we want them in our communities? Having more physical activity opportunities available to people will help address the growing obesity issue in our country. If people have sidewalks to walk on in their neighborhoods, wider roadways to allow safe biking and street intersections that are designed around safety, more people will use them. It is important to remember that roadways are shared. That means all of us, not just motor vehicles, have access and rights to use them. In 2010, close to 100 people in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties have been trained in complete street concepts. As a result, many of our zoning and planning board members, health professionals and other residents now look at road design and streets with safety and access issues being a primary concern. The next step in the process, to ensure that as many streets in our community as possible be complete, is to encourage our community leaders to include design items in all future roadway development or major reconstruction. No time is better than the present to include these provisions and regulations in existing municipal planning and zoning requirements. Think smart, think safe, think complete streets for all!

How can pedestrians help prevent injuries and death from motor vehicle crashes?
Pedestrians should be especially careful at intersections, where drivers may fail to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians while turning onto another street. Pedestrians should increase their visibility at night by carrying a flashlight when walking and by wearing retro-reflective clothing. Whenever possible, pedestrians should cross the street at a designated crosswalk. It is much safer to walk on a sidewalk, but if pedestrians must walk in the street, they should walk facing traffic.

Bike Safety:
Wear a Helmet
Bicyclists ages 13 and younger are required to wear an approved helmet when riding. Passengers under 4 must wear a helmet and be fastened in a suitable seat. No passengers under age 1 are permitted. Some local laws in New York State require riders of all ages to wear helmets.
Follow the Rules of the Road

Obey traffic regulations: stop at red lights, obey signs, observe speed limits, and follow lane markings. Cyclists in New York State have the same rights and responsibilities as motorized vehicle operators. Never ride against traffic. Drivers do not expect bicyclists riding on the wrong side of the street. Even in marked bike lanes, ride in the direction of traffic. Use hand signals. Signal in advance of turns. Never wear headphones while cycling.

Bicycle Routes in our Area
Share the Road with Vehicles and Pedestrians

Be aware of your surroundings. Make eye contact with motorists and pedestrians. Watch for debris and obstructions in your path. Ride predictably in traffic. Avoid weaving between vehicles and parked cars. Use a horn, bell, or voice warning when passing pedestrians or slow-moving cyclists. Always yield to pedestrians. Yield to other vehicles as appropriate. Be careful at intersections.
Outfit Your Body

Wear close-fitting, light-colored clothing that is appropriate for the season. Pant clips keep clothing from catching or rubbing on gears and chains. If you must ride at night, wear clothing with reflective patches or stripes. Some helmets can be outfitted with front and rear lights. Use lights at night, both front and rear. The headlight should be bright white and visible from 500 feet. The rear reflector or taillight should be visible from 300 feet. At least one of the lights should be visible at least 200 feet from the side. Information from www.nysdot.gov

Exercise Your MIND!

Growing evidence shows that physical exercise does not have to be strenuous or even require a major time commitment to produce great benefits. It is most effective when done regularly and in combination with a brain-healthy diet, mental activity and social interaction. Physical activities that involve mental activity, such as plotting your own route, observing traffic signals, and making choices, provide additional value for brain health. Even better, doing these activities with a companion offers the added benefit of social interaction and brain stimulation. Aerobic exercise improves oxygen consumption in the body, which benefits brain function, as it has been found to reduce brain cell loss. About 30 minutes a day of walking, bicycling, gardening, dancing, zumba, tai chi, yoga and/or other activities will get the body moving, the heart pumping and the brain working! Always remember to make safety a priority. Use protective headgear when engaged in physical activities such as bicycling, horseback riding, bouldering, skating and so on. Guard against falls by using handrails, watching out for tripping hazards, wearing proper shoes and taking other precautions. Also, dont forget to wear your seat belt severe head injuries have been associated with increased risk for later development of Alzheimers disease and other dementias. Mix it up a bit! Use your brain in ways that are out of the everyday norm; try doing tasks with your nondominant hand, learn to play an instrument, paint, do a jigsaw puzzle, read the paper and then do the word scramble, or simply read! Do anything that gets your mind engaged and active. Alzheimers Disease Assistance Center Plattsburgh, N.Y.

Less Sodium,
Information from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website: cdc.gov Most of the sodium we consume is in the form of salt, and the vast majority of sodium we consume is in processed and restaurant foods. Too much sodium is bad for your health. It can increase your blood pressure and your risk for a heart attack and stroke. Heart disease and stroke are the first and third killers of men and women in the United States each year. Current dietary guidelines for Americans recommend that adults in general should consume no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. At the same time, consume Salt and high blood pressure Research strongly shows a dosedependent relationship between consuming too much salt and raised levels of blood pressure. When salt intake is reduced, blood pressure begins decreasing within weeks on average. Populations who consume diets low in salt do not experience the increase in blood pressure with age that is seen in most Western countries. Is it salt or is it sodium? Sodium chloride is the chemical name for salt. The words salt and sodium are not exactly the same, yet these words are often used in place of each other. For example, the Nutrition Facts Panel uses sodium, whereas the front of the package may say low salt. Ninety percent of the sodium we consume is in the form of salt. Sodium consumption and sodium in our food supply We all need a small amount of sodium to keep our bodies working properly. potassium-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables. However, if you are in the following population groups, you should consume no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day (approximately 2/3 teaspoon), and meet the potassium recommendation (4,700 mg/day) with food. You are 40 years of age or older. You are African American. You have high blood pressure. A CDC report shows that two out of three (69 percent) adults in the United States fall into these three groups who are at especially high risk for health problems from consuming too much sodium. Eating less sodium can help prevent, or control, high blood pressure. saging are easily misunderstood by consumers. Sodium information is not readily available for restaurant foods and can be hard for the consumer to estimate. For example, consumers might be surprised to find that the restaurant salad they are consuming may contain more than 900 mg of sodiumand could only find this information on the companys website. Reducing sodium, reducing cardiovascular disease burden Even if a person does not have high blood pressure, the lower ones blood pressure in general, the lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. If manufacturers gradually reduced the amount of sodium in processed and prepared foods, public consumption of sodium could be reduced to safer levels with little or no behavior changes needed on the part of the individual consumer. Sodium intake from processed and restaurant foods contributes to high rates of high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. Because nearly 400,000 deaths each year are attributed to high blood pressure, decreasing sodium intake could prevent thousands of deaths annually.
The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting sodium to less than 2,300 milligrams (mg) per day (about 1 teaspoon of table salt). Individuals with hypertension, blacks, and middle-aged and older adults should limit intake to 1,500 mg of sodium per day. These specific populations account for about 70 percent of adults. The average daily sodium intake for Americans age 2 years and older is more than 3,400 mg. Americans are consuming substantially more sodium. Since the 1970s, the amount of sodium in our food has increased, and we are eating more food each day than in the past. The majority of the sodium consumed is from processed and restaurant foods; only a small portion is used in cooking or added at the table. Decreasing personal sodium intake can be hard, even for motivated persons. Sodium content can vary significantly within food categories. For example, a regular slice of frozen cheese pizza can range from 450 mg to 1200 mg, and some brands of breakfast sausage links have twice the sodium content of other brands.
