How can I protect my skin from
harmful sun exposure?
Sunscreens with SPF of 30 or higher are best. Apply 1/2 hour beforeexposure; reapply every 2 hours, and after swimming or sweating.
tection is mainly against UVA and UVB. Other protective measures incluwearing white clothing and using sunglasses. Finally avoid sun exposure betw10am and 4pm. (SPF by definition is the amount of time needed to cause minskin damage with sunscreens as compared to non sunscreens.)

My father needs nursing home care but he earnsjust a few dollars too much to apply for nursing
home Medicaid. There are no other funds avail-able to pay for his care and his earnings are notenough to cover the cost of his care. What can I do?
Talk to the Medicaid case worker or an elder law attorney about a Miller Trust.a Miller Trust was developed to help with income situations like your father’s.
It allows you to divert some of his funds into a Trust to enable him to get into thencome guidelines for Medicaid. This money is deposited each month into the trust,hen it is written right back out for expenses. Your Medicaid case worker or attorney
can help you with this process. Also the nursing facility financial manager can provideassistance.

When is surgery necessary forpatients with spine problems?
Most spine problems can be treated with conservative measures such as metion management, bracing, weight loss, physical therapy and/or steroid i
tions. These options should be exhausted before discussing surgery. However, are certain urgent circumstances where surgery is absolutely necessary. Besides rare instances, surgery is typically recommended for patients who have failed covative treatment and are still having significant symptoms, which inhibit their activities. We are proud to say that fewer than 10% of our patients require surge

My dentist says my child needs jaw
surgery to fix his bite. Could you explain
what this means?
This is a very common procedure called orthognathic surgery.With current advances in anesthesia and surgery, these proce-
dures are currently performed in an operating room setting. Also,invisible fixation devices are used so that the jaws are not wired to-gether during healing. Your child will likely receive improvementsin his/her function, bite, as well as, cosmetic benefits.

Are the signs of a heart attack different for
women?As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or dis-
comfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of he other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back
or jaw pain. It’s important to know the signs of a heart attack. And remember: Even if
you’re not sure it’s a heart attack, have it checked out (tell a doctor about your symp-
oms). Minutes matter! Don’t wait more than five minutes to call 9-1-1. Calling 9-1-1 is
almost always the fastest way to get lifesaving treatment. EMS staff can begin treatment
when they arrive.

Do I need a primary care doctor? How do I
pick one?Regardless of whether you take multiple medications,see other specialist, or are
never sick, everyone should establish a relationship with a primary care physi-
cian who can provide screening exams and immediate care during time of an illness.
Internist focus on care of adults only and are trained to manage acute illnesses as well
as multiple coexisting medical problems. Many internists also care for hospitalized
patients which can make a hospital stay easier and less stressful for most patients. It is
very important to choose a physician who is board certified.

Will I develop new varicose veins aftermy existing ones are treated?
The most common cause of varicose veins is an inherited disorder that af-
fects the ability of leg veins to return blood to the heart. Varicose vein dis-
ease is a chronic disorder that can recur in another location following successful
treatment in a previous location. The most effective treatment is the Closure
procedure, which we perform in our office (The Vein Centers of Texas) to treat
the underlying cause of varicose veins. The recurrence rate is less than 5%.

Q & A
from the editor
rst, some personal questions
Are you a lifetime resident of Beaumont? I currently live in Beaumont. I was born here
and reared in Lumberton, where my parents still live. I went to a private school in Beaumont.
I haven’t always lived in Southeast Texas, but something always seems to be pulling me back
here.
Are you married? Children? My wife’s name is Lisa; we’ve been married since 2009. She
chased me for months before I noticed her. OK, maybe it was the other way around. She and
my children can always put a smile on my face. I’m the incredibly proud father of two daugh-
ters, Izzabelle and Khloie. Lisa and I are proud to have two sons together, Gaivyn and Colton.
How about hobbies? What do you do in your spare time? I’m usually trying to keep
up with what’s happening in Southeast Texas. I’m always looking for a story. When I’m notdoing that, I’m spending time with my family. As long as I’m with them, I’m happy — whether
it’s going out to eat and bowling or sitting at home playing board games and the Wii. I’m also a
musician. I play drums and guitar. It’s my stress reliever.
Do you have any heroes or role models? My main hero and role model is my dad — a
man of few words, but actions speak louder than words ever could. He always has a smile on
his face and is very patient. He has great character; he’s carefree and has a joyful spirit, and
compassion for the underdog. He’s not one to bother with typical, testosterone-fueled “male”
ego trips. Some of that used to drive me crazy, but now I strive to be like him.
And just about anyone who is willing to lay down his or her life for our freedom is a hero to
me. Not just the ones who actually die for our freedom, but also the ones who are willing to
risk their lives for it. In my eyes, those are the real heroes.
There are many more, including my mom, wife and even my children.
and now, about your new job …
As executive editor/project manager for Be Healthy , what does your role entail?
I oversee the complete layout of Be Healthy — from the stories that are chosen, to where they
go and what pictures are used, to which events are covered. As project manager, I just try to
motivate our advertising team to really listen to our advertisers and find out what’s important
to them. They not only provide us the ability to have this magazine, but they’re fans, as well.
Without them, we wouldn’t be here.

What’s not to love about fruit? It’s easy to come by, it’s tasty,it’s sweet, and to top it all off, it’s good for you. All kinds of fruit — from the bright, clean burst of an orange to the tender,pulpy squish of a perfectly ripened peach, to the crisp snap of an autumn apple, to the indulgent creamy kiss of an avocado —are spilling over with the vitamins our bodies need to do what
they do every day. Fruits feed our organs the good stuff they need to keep us going and growing, thinking, breathing and, yeah, living.

Common misconceptions couldbe keeping you from beneting

“Fruit is essential for overall health,”
aid Kelli Worley, a registered dietitian and
wner of Nutrition Solutions in Beaumont.
Its main source of calories is from carbo-
hydrates, which give you energy. It’s what
your body runs on.”
Fruit lls you up, cleans you out, hy-
drates you from the inside, fosters weight
oss, jump-starts your metabolism and
ives you clean, natural energy to get you
hrough your day. And research suggests
hat the nutrients in fruit can help thebody ward o a variety of diseases and
onditions from heart disease to stroke
o certain cancers. You can get it fresh,
anned or frozen. You can eat it raw,
ooked, in a recipe or just out of hand.
Still, a lot of folks don’t get the mini-
mum daily recommended allowance of
ruit — and that’s a mere ve servings (that
an be split among veggies, too). If ve
ervings seem daunting to you, consider
hat a serving of berries or diced fruits,
or example, is just half a cup. A serving f apple or orange is about the size of
your st (assuming you’re not an
nfant or professional wrestler).
So what’s the deal? Why
re some people so freaked
ut about fruit? According to
ome Southeast Texas nutrition
xperts, there are some common
misconceptions that keep people
rom living the most, ahem, fruitful
ives they can.
Misconception No. 1:Fruit is boring.
Color, texture, taste … the fruit world
has it all. And with produce aisles over-
owing with exotic choices such as persim-
mons, blood oranges, papaya, and ugli
ruit, there simply is no excuse to limit
your taste buds to bananas and oranges.
“Most people tend to focus just on a
ouple of kinds of fruits and boredom sets
n,” said Jennifer Gary, a registered dieti-
ian and diabetes educator at Joslin Dia-
betes Center Aliate at Southeast TexasMedical Associates in Beaumont. “If all
you eat are apples, bananas and oranges,
you’ll get bored and then you won’t want
o eat any fruit.”
Worley suggests aiming for a variety
f colors in your fruit choices, as dier-
nt fruits get their colors from dierent
nutrients. Not all fruit has Vitamin C, A or
E, for example, so experimenting across
he color spectrum will round out your
nutrition — and taste — requirements. She
ecommends branching out with papaya,
kiwi, mangoes or perhaps starting with
fruit you can buy in jars, so there’s noth-
ing intimidating about picking and prepar-
ing them.
Misconception No. 2:Fruit is high in sugar, so it
should be avoided, espe-
cially in low-carb diets or
by people with diabetes.
Yup, fruit has a high concentration of
sugar and is a source of carbohydrates.But our bodies need carbs, and the sugar
in fruits is natural, so eating a banana
isn’t the same as scarng down a Snickers
candy bar. And as sweet as most fruits are,
their sugar/carb count is still compara-
tively low.
“A 3-ounce banana has about 15 gra
of carbohydrates,” Worley said. “Threeounces of bread has about 45.”
As with anything, it’s all about mod
eration. People who want to control th
blood sugar, and those with diabetes, n
to eat proper portions at proper interva

isn’t a great idea for anyone.
Same with weight loss,
Gary says. Because of their
high ber and water con-
tent, fruits are a great re-
placement for high-calorie
snacks because they ll you
up more quickly and stay
with you longer. But over-
eating fruit can derail yourweight-loss eorts almost as
easily as overeating choco-
late or potato chips.
Misconception
No. 3: I drink OJ.
That’s plenty,
isn’t it?Sure, there are alter-
natives to fresh fruit, and they do count as fruit servings, but
emember these tips:
. Dried fruits such as raisins and dried cranberries often have
added sugar.
. Fruit “drinks” aren’t the same as fruit juice. Make sure what
you’re getting is 100 percent juice with no added sugar.
. Fruit juices, even those without added sugar, provide the same
number of calories as their fresh brethren but without the
ber and satiety factor. Best to go for the real thing whenever
possible.
4. Canned fruit often is packed in heavy syrup, which adds tons
of extra sugar.
Misconception No. 4: Fresh fruit is
expensive, hard to nd and hard to keep.
All of these can be true, but with a little legwork and creativity,you can have fresh fruit — or its equivalent — year round. Worley
nd Gary advise getting fruit in season and, whenever possible,
rom local growers or farmers markets. It’s less expensive and
resher.
Frozen, no-sugar-added fruit is a great alternative to fresh. It
keeps longer, and because it’s frozen as soon as it’s picked — at
he peak of its freshness and nutrient-rich goodness — it’s as good
for you as fresh and, very often, more so.
There are lots of creative ways to up your fruit intake. T
it in smoothies made with fat-free yogurt, fruit and ice; cu
up sturdy fruits like mango and pineapple and skewer the
then grill them and serve with honey-sweetened yogurt; o
dice them for salsa made with mint for chicken or sh dish
Or just keep it simple. Pop some grapes, crunch into an
apple or dig into a succulent papaya. Whatever oats your
fruit boat, grab a handful and just chow down. •
Get Fresh! (Skin, that is
Experts say there’s not a whole lot of denitive research that
points to fruit specically reducing wrinkles or restoring a you
ful resilience to aging skin. But fruit has so much going for it t
it’s hard to believe it’s not a powerhouse for skin.
“Fruits like blackberries, blueberries, red grapes, and cherries
example, get their deep red and purple color from anthocyaniand proanthocyanidins, which are antioxidants that keep sma
blood vessels from leaking and breaking,” Gary says. “It has a
positive effect on collagen, which helps the elasticity and rm
ness of the skin. Plus fruit is also a good source of vitamins A
and E, which also promote healthy skin.”
Adds Worley: “The main way fruit helps keep your skin health
its water content. Staying hydrated is very important for healt
skin, and fruits have a lot of water. Staying hydrated from the
inside out is the best way to keep your skin looking fresh and
healthy.”

Garlic offers health benets
as well as avor to our diets
By Cathleen Cole
K
nown for centuries as “thestinking rose,” garlic hashad a longstanding place infolk medicine for its healthbenefits, including warding
off evil spirits and vampires.While the anti-Dracula element of garlichas yet to be proven, some of the healthadvantages have been.
The smellier member of the onion family has the potential
benefit of lowering cholesterol and is known as a natural antibi-
tic. According to Connie Ruiz, a registered dietitian and associ-
te professor in the Department of Family & Consumer Sciences
t Lamar University, there is also evidence that garlic can lower
blood pressure, stimulate the immune system and exert an a
ticoagulant eect. It can also act as an antioxidant, neutraliz
free radicals that can cause cell damage, which has implicati
for both cardiovascular disease and cancer prevention.
“I am a great fan of garlic,” Ruiz said. “I think that people
should enjoy their food. Most people enjoy the flavor of garli
They should use it abundantly and congratulate themselves
engaging in a positive health behavior.”As for those who hate the flavor of garlic, Ruiz advises that
they should not add it to their meals simply because it might
provide some health benefits. “There is no ‘magic’ food or in
gredient,” she said. “What matters is an overall healthy diet
lifestyle.”
Based on her studies, Ruiz said, it appears that aged garlic
extract and garlic oil have the most potent eects. However,
studies have indicated that garlic powder and fresh garlic are
beneficial as well. >>

Potential problems with eating garlic
r taking garlic supplements include bad
breath, body odor, allergic reactions,
cceleration in the eects of anticoagu-
ants such as Coumadin and reducing the
ectiveness of the HIV drug Saquinavir,
Ruiz said.
“As with many dietary supplements,
he potency and recommended dosage are
not standardized,” she said of garlic in
pill form. “Some preparations will have
more of the active compound allicin than
thers do.” Another consideration forpeople using garlic, or any other type of
dietary supplement, is that they should
not totally depend on a complementary or
lternative therapy for a cure, Ruiz said.
But if garlic breath is the only draw-
back for many people, it’s not that big a
problem. “That’s nothing a good piece of
hewing gum or breath mint can’t cure,”
he said.
Garlic is a staple at the dietitian’s
house. “I keep garlic powder, as well as
fresh garlic and minced garlic,” she said.
“I tend to use fresh the most, but I use
the powder or the minced if I am out of
fresh garlic or if I’m in a hurry.”
Carlo J. Busceme III, president of
Beaumont-based Texas Coee Co., says
garlic is a big seller in the company’s
TexJoy line of spices and seasonings.
TexJoy’s garlic comes from California,
Nevada and New Mexico. In the 1980s,
garlic was a minor sales item, he said.
After the media started reporting on the
vegetable’s health benets, the company’sgarlic sales increased. “Currently, we
use a lot of garlic – well over 100,000
pounds a year,” Busceme said. “Today,
garlic’s popularity has made it blossom
into a major commodity.” There is cur-
rently a garlic shortage in the world, he
explained, partly due to its international
popularity.
“I love garlic in my food for the good
avor and savory qualities,” Busceme said.
“Garlic can overwhelm a recipe some-
times, so moderation is good, but every
now and again a good dosing of that lov
avor makes me happy! Also, I use gar
as a way to help me through a cold or s
throat because it is a natural antibiotic.

Collagen is like spaghetti, according to Francis
Mijares, a nurse practitioner who owns Skinologie
Medical Spa & Laser Center in Beaumont.
“When we’re born, the collagen
n our skin is lined up very neatly,”
Mijares said, interlocking his fingers
n a row. “But as we begin to age, it
begins to get kind of like … spaghetti.”
At this point, he unlocked his fingersnd wiggled them. Radio frequency
kin tightening, he asserted, can fix the
paghetti problem. “This procedure puts
heat underneath the layers of the skin
o make it straight again,” he explained.
It creates subtle rejuvenation. No more
paghetti.”
The procedure normally takes about
n hour, and it ’s recommended that
patients have a total of six treatments,
ne every two to three weeks, for results
hat last three to five years.
A cool, thick lotion — much like whats used for ultrasounds — is applied
o the face, and a handheld device is
olled on the skin. The end of the tool
sn’t itself hot, but where it makes
ontact, there’s a definite warm feeling.
The difference is subtle, but it’s there.
Cheeks are plumper and fine lines
ppear smoother. The overall result is a
dewier and yes, younger complexion.
The results certainly aren’t what you
would see in a surgical face-lift, but
neither is the price — roughly $2,100 forhe six-treatment package. A traditional
ace-lift can cost about $15,000. With
he skin tightening procedure, there
s no “down time” and no discomfort,
welling or scarring. That’s the point.
Radio frequency skin tightening is an
nnovative nonsurgical alternative to
raditional face-lifts.
A new breed of medical aesthetics
enters have sprung up in the past few
years to offer a mix of traditional spa or
alon treatments. Center of Attention in
Lumberton offers the Beautiful Imagemicrocurrent facial that contracts the
muscles in the face, “basically giving
your face a workout so that your body
will naturally tone and tighten itself,”
aid Suzy Oliver, a licensed aesthetician
who provides services there.
Oliver said the recommended program
or Beautiful Image is 10 treatments for
esults that can last three to five years
with occasional maintenance treatments
long the way. Though the treatment
isn’t exactly relaxing, Oliver said clients
rarely feel any real discomfort, though
some haven’t been able to handle the
higher settings on the Beautiful Image
machine.
There are other options, as well. Atthe Medesthetic Center in Beaumont,
customers can get a “liquid lift,” also
known as the lunchtime lift, since it
generally can be done over the course
of a lunch break. The liquid lift is more
invasive than the radio frequency skin
tightening and microcurrent treatments,
as it involves injections of both Botox
and other fillers to smooth the skin.
“It’s pretty painless; most people
have no discomfort unless they have a
very, very low tolerance,” said Connie
Zuzukian, wife of Medesthetic Centerfounder George Zuzukian. “It takes five
to seven days for the full effect to kick
in. The Botox lasts about six months,
and the fillers last six months to a year
depending on how quickly your body
metabolizes them.”
Short of any of these treatments,
there always are more traditional
approaches to fighting the ravages
of time on the face, including
microdermabrasion and chemical peels.
At-home microdermabrasion kits arepopular, but Mijares cautions you won’t
get the same results you can expect at a
salon or spa.
“We have the equipment to actually
vacuum out the dead layer of skin that is
removed during the exfoliation,” he said.
“At home, you just wipe it away, and
if you miss some, those cells are stuck
inside your pores.”
To anyone who’s used to slathering
on some face cream and calling it a done
deal, the cost of professional skincare/
rejuvenation treatments can be off-putting — whether you’re talking about an
advanced facial, intensive skin-smoothing
programs or injections. But considering
how much is spent each year at cosmetics
counters and in drug stores and
supermarkets for quick-fix OTC products,
it might be a pretty good trade-off.
“It’s pricey — it is,” Mijares said. “But
look at how much stuff people are using
on their faces and how much money
they’re spending over time.” •
Is It Right
For You?
Mijares says that aestheti-
cians and clients alike have to
be realistic about the results
the client hopes to see — no
matter what treatment they’re
asking about.
“We’ll do an actual sample
on your skin,” he said. “If you
like the effect, we can tell you
what you can expect after
that. If a client has really, re-
ally loose skin or they indicate
that they want a result that re-
ally isn’t achievable, then we
would recommend a face-lift.”
Nonsurgical face-lifts can
work wonders on clients from
45 to 60; after that, it gets a
little harder to determine how
responsive a person’s skin
will be. But age isn’t the only
determining factor. Hydration,
overall health and lifestyle all
factor in to it.
“Some people in their 70s still
have a lot of collagen, so it’ll
work for them,” Mijares said.
“If you can pinch your cheeks
and there’s meat on there,
then you’re a good candidate,
no matter how old you are.”
Simple ways tokeep your skinlooking healthy
No matter what your age, these
common-sense tips can help your keep its glow and resilience.
• Moisturize.
• Stay hydrated.
• Always use sunscreen when yo
going to be outside, preferably
SPF 30 to 50.
• Eat well and exercise.
• Don’t smoke.

Seasonal Affective Disorder might be making you sad
S
outheast Texas had a cold winter this year, but take heart. Spring is here. Th
days are growing longer and the air soon will be lled with the sounds of car
nivals, Little League baseball games and children playing until the last ray of
sunshine disappears in the distance.
There is something about spring that rejuvenates the spirit and awakens a
feeling of vigor and vitality.
“What is commonly referred to as ‘spring fever’ is a characterization of normal human feengs and emotions following a period of captivity over the winter months,” said Beth Sydno
Wilson, a clinical psychologist with Beaumont Psychological Services. “Over the winter,
here is decreased activity due to inclement weather. As the days become longer and the tem
perature begins to rise, the body responds by increasing the production of hormones, such
estrogen and testosterone.” The typical result is an elevated mood and increased desire to b
active and propagate romantic and interpersonal relationships.

Time to shake off the winter blues

“The characteristics of spring fever are
very common, but will diminish over a
short period of time as the body balances
hormone levels and regains its circadian
rhythm or internal clock,” Wilson said.
“However, there are specic types –
speciers – of clinical depression called
seasonal aective disorder, or SAD, that
often are confused with spring fever.”
Approximately 7 percent of the popu-
lation has true clinical depression. Of those who are clinically depressed, 4
percent to 6 percent will exhibit symp-
toms that correlate with particular
seasons. “An individual presenting with
seasonal-related depression symptoms
must have demonstrated those symp-
toms for two or more seasons in order to
be diagnosed with SAD,” Wilson said.
There are two types of SAD. “The
most often recognized is the fall-onset
type, also known as winter depression,
in which major depressive episodes be-
gin in the late fall to early winter monthsand remit during the summer months,”
Wilson said. “Atypical signs and symp-
toms of depression predominate in
cases of winter depression and include
increased sleep, increased appetite and
food intake with carbohydrate craving,
marked increase in weight, irritability,
interpersonal diculties – especially re-
jection sensitivity – and leaden paralysis,
a heavy, leaden feeling in the arms or
legs.”
The second type is summer depres-
sion. “A spring-onset pattern – summer
depression – also has been described
in which the severe depressive episodebegins in late spring to early summer
and is characterized by typical vegeta-
tive symptoms of depression, such as
decreased sleep, weight loss and poor
appetite,” Wilson said.
As is common with spring fever,
people with SAD generally experience an
elevation in mood around late February
as the days grow longer. “In general, this
period often is characterized by an in-
crease in energy, vitality and particularly
sexual appetite, which is often strong in
those suering from SAD,” Wilson said.Treatment for SAD is similar to that
of other forms of clinical depression. “I
will often use intensive counseling to un-
cover any identiable triggering events,
such as physical or emotional trauma
the death of a close family member or
friend,” Wilson said. “I have found ph
totherapy to be particularly helpful fo
SAD. In some cases, it may be necessa
to manage symptoms with antidepres
sants.”
One positive aspect of SAD is that i
seasonal.
“Most people who have seasonal
aective disorder are able to decreasethe intensity of treatment as symptom
subside in the spring. They may be ab
to decrease the dose of any prescribed
antidepressant medications or the
frequency of phototherapy treatment
usually continue counseling sessions t
ensure progress in long-term symptom
management,” Wilson said. “For most
SAD will be a life-long condition, but
others will notice a lessening in severi
year-over-year.”
If you think your “spring fever” cou
be something more, discuss your symtoms with your healthcare provider,
Wilson said. While seasonal aective
disorder is a form of clinical depressio
it is treatable. •

Zumba body benefts• Zumba can burn anywhere
from 500 to 1,000 calories p
hour, depending on your lev
of fitness.
• Zumba is interval training w
fast and slow sequences to
vary the workout’s intensity
• Zumba is a total-body work
• Zumba workouts continuall
change, so there’s less chan
of getting bored.
Perez moved to Miami in 2001 and,
with his partners, launched Zumba
Fitness and trademarked the word
Zumba. By 2005, the business had
ts own academy to license Zumba
nstructors to teach Zumba classes.
The instructors don’t use
microphones, but indicate the steps with
body movements so that the music can
be loud, just like at your favorite club.
Zumba’s official motto is “Ditch the
Workout – Join the Party!”
“What’s great about Zumba is you
work your total body,” said Peyton Jones,
Group Fitness Supervisor and Zumba
nstructor at Christus Health & Wellness
Center in Beaumont. “You’re moving in a
ot of different planes.”
The center offers about 10 Zumba
lasses a week, which are well-attended
with an average of 80 participants in
each class. All you need are comfortable
workout clothes and good athletic shoes.
Jones also recommends bringing a water
bottle and a towel. “You’ll sweat – a lot!”
she said.
Jones has had people come to her
classes who said their old workouts
weren’t working for them anymore. They
were getting thicker around the middle.
After starting Zumba, the inches came
off.
Zooming to Zumba can burn anywhere
from 500 to 1,000 calories in an hour,
depending on your level of fitness, Jones
said. “You do spend a lot of time in your
fat-burning zone,” she said. “And you
continue to burn for the next eight to
nine hours.”
Zumba is considered interval training
with fast and slow sequences to vary the
workout’s intensity. “Your heart rate
will go up and down,” Jones said. “It
makes your total body more fit.”
The problem with some workouts

“Your body is continually challengeIt’s never the same thing.” Jones is a
dancer and a choreographer, like the
other Zumba instructors at the Welln
Center, so changing up the moves
comes naturally. “You’re not going to

she said.
Heather Fountain Thomas of
Beaumont recently tried Zumba and
loved it. “It was really energetic and
fast-paced,” she said. “It hardly seem
like 90 minutes.” She’d watched Zum
videos, so she knew what to expect.“Zumba is a lot more interesting
and fun than a traditional exercise
class,” she said. “I think it was a goo
workout.”
Jones knows it’s a good workout
because she sees the results in her
students every week. “You’ll be
surprised,” she said. “It really works

F
ew moments in life can make you as anxious as
bringing your rst baby home from the hospital.
You have been planning for this day for months.
Still, nothing adequately can prepare you for the
responsibility of caring for the precious life you
now hold in your arms.You have taken the time to carefully select the right pedia-
rician, but to a rst-time parent, it can seem like an eternity
before the rst visit to the doctor. Is my baby eating enough?
How many diapers should we go through in a day? There are so
many questions and just as many answers from many dierent
ources. “If you are ever in doubt, call your pediatrician,” said
Carl Hubbell, pediatrician and managing partner of Beaumont
Pediatric Center. “We are here to answer your questions and
eassure you that everything is going to be OK.”
When you see the pediatrician for the rst time, there are sev-
ral pieces of information you need to bring with you, including
copy of the discharge summary for mom and baby, birth weight
nd length, a list of any complications during pregnancy or fol-owing delivery, how many weeks pregnant the mother was at
delivery and any medications the baby may have been prescribed
when discharged from the hospital. You will need to arrive early
nd be prepared to complete any new-patient paperwork.
At the rst appointment, the pediatrician will conduct a
physical exam and plot the growth curve based on length and
weight. “It is normal for the baby to lose 8 percent to 10 percent
f their birth weight following delivery,” Hubbell said. “When I
xamine the baby, there are certain things I am looking for that
will indicate normal development. The skin should be soft and
warm. This is an indication of good blood ow and will also tell
me if the baby has any signs of newborn jaundice. Soft skin isn indication the baby is receiving plenty of nutrition and is not
dehydrated. The skin provides me with a good indication the
heart and lungs are working properly, but I will listen for good
breathing sounds and listen for the presence of a murmur.”
Hubbell encourages parents to write down any questions they
have before they arrive at the oce. “Otherwise, it is likely you
will forget to ask something that is very important,” he said. As
part of the rst visit, blood work will be drawn for the second
part of the newborn screen, which checks for several potential
hildhood disorders.
The doctor also will check the umbilical cord and circumcision
n the boys, if one was done, to make sure both are healing well.
“It is extremely important to take care of the umbilical cord s
and the circumcision,” Hubbell said. “Clean the umbilical cor
with alcohol daily and if the site becomes soiled. The umbilic
cord stump will fall o as a natural part of drying. Do not be
alarmed, but continue to keep the site clean and leave it open
to air. If a circumcision was performed, it is natural to see somblood present. Change the dressing as instructed. Contact you
pediatrician if you see extreme redness, swelling or signican
bleeding.”
Pediatricians will ask parents about the baby’s schedule
at home. The baby should be feeding on a two- to four-hour
schedule. If the mother is breastfeeding, the baby should be
feeding for 20 minutes at a time, and she should be alternatin
breasts with each feeding. “I strongly encourage mom not to
the baby sleep through a scheduled feeding,” Hubbell said. “I
very important to maintain a consistent schedule. With norm
feeding habits, you should see four wet diapers and three dirt
diapers each day. It is important to pay attention to this, beca
a signicant decrease or increase in wet or dirty diapers couldan early indication of a problem.”
There are several key indicators to which every parent sho
pay attention, Hubbell said. If the baby is feeling warmer tha
usual, check a rectal temperature and treat a fever greater tha
100.3 degrees Fahrenheit. “Other red ags are if the baby st
eating, becomes lethargic, very irritable or inconsolable,” Hu
bell warned. “If any of these persist for several hours, you ne
to contact your pediatrician. If you notice an obvious bluish
coloring of the skin, labored or diculty breathing or extrem
forceful vomiting, you need to contact your pediatrician imm
diately or take the baby to the emergency room for immediat
medical attention.”The way you put your newborn down to sleep is critical. “A
ways place the baby on his or her back to sleep,” Hubbell said
“There should be no solid items in the crib, including pillow
bumper pads or stued animals. Do not buy a mattress that
sinks in; all infant mattresses should be rm.” The pediatri-
cian also advises to check on your baby frequently while he i
sleeping, especially as he becomes old enough to turn over. “
a harsh reality, but babies die every day of mechanical asphyx
ation,” he said, “and it is 100 percent preventable. I strongly
encourage every parent to learn infant CPR.”
The pediatrician’s nal caution: “I cannot say this strongly
enough: No smoking in the house. Period!” •
