SuperSlow Zone is helping adults get fi t for life!

Gaining control over your fitness and your lifeFor many people, aging equals

lower metabolism, weight gain and less energy for activities you enjoy. This is directly related to loss of lean muscle.

While you can’t avoid getting older, there are some steps you can take to stop the process of muscle loss and start rebuilding healthy, lean muscle. It doesn’t matter how old you are or whether you haven’t exercised in years. You can still regain lean muscle that improves your shape and increases your metabolism.

Our downfall is inactivity. Too much sitting is the new smoking. Our bodies were meant to be active, stay ac-tive and be strong. When we stop doing meaningful exercise, we lose ground.

What is meaningful exercise?A critical component of stimulat-

ing the improvements we seek from exercise is the achievement of momen-tary muscular failure in each exercise performed. With steady-state activities, like walking on a treadmill or biking,

there is no momentary muscular failure involved.

Unless activity is demanding, it is practically worthless from an exercise perspective. However, if an activity is sufficiently demanding to take the targeted muscles to momentary failure, then it qualifies as meaningful exer-cise. Muscle failure should be viewed as a means of signaling the body that it needs to get stronger in order to meet the demands being placed upon it.

What is the SuperSlow Zone solu-tion? The SuperSlow Zone protocol is the original and genuine slow-motion, personal strength training workout. The exercise protocol has been proven successful in both building muscle and increasing resting metabolism, thus allowing the body to burn more calories at rest.

SuperSlow Zone provides a safe and effective workout in a short amount of time so that you can get in, get out, and get on with your busy life!

The importance of fluoride treatments in the dental officeExtra protection against dental caries

Brought to you by: Roswell Dental CaRe

Dental caries (tooth decay) is caused by acid-producing bacteria that collect around the teeth and gingivae (gums) in a sticky, clear film called “plaque.” Without good daily oral hygiene and regular dental visits, teeth become more vulnerable to caries.

Brushing twice a day and clean-ing between teeth with floss or another type of interdental cleaner help remove plaque. Regular dental examinations and cleanings also are important for keeping teeth healthy. Another key to good oral health is fluoride, a mineral that helps prevent caries and can re-pair teeth in the very early, microscopic stages of the disease. Fluoride can be obtained in two forms: topical and systemic.

Topical fluorides are applied directly to the tooth enamel. Some examples in-clude fluoride toothpastes and mouth-rinses, as well as fluoride treatments in the dental office.

Systemic fluorides are those that are swallowed. Examples include fluo-ridated water and dietary fluoride sup-plements. Clinical studies show that community water fluoridation prevents at least 25% of tooth decay in children and adults throughout their lifespan.

The CDC has named water fluorida-tion one of the 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century be-cause of its contribution to the dramat-ic decline in tooth decay. The maximum reduction in dental caries is achieved when fluoride is available both topically and systemically.

Dentists have used in-office fluoride treatments for decades to help protect the oral health of children and adults, especially patients who may be at a higher risk of developing caries.

Many factors that may increase a person’s risk of developing caries in-clude the following:

• Poor oral hygiene• Eating disorders• Alcohol abuse• Lack of professional dental care• Orthodontic treatment combined

with poor oral hygiene• High levels of cavity-causing bac-

teria in the mouth• Decreased salivary flow which

causes dry mouth• Poor diet• Enamel defects• Head and neck

radiation therapyIf you, or a fam-

ily member, are at a moderate-to high risk of developing caries, a professional fluoride treatment can help. The fluoride prepara-

tion used in the dental office is a much stronger concentration than that in toothpastes or fluoride mouthrinses that may be available in a store or at a pharmacy. Professional fluoride treat-ments generally take just a few min-utes.

The fluoride may be in the form of a solution, gel, foam or varnish. Typi-cally, it is applied with a cotton swab or brush, or it is used as a rinse or placed in a tray that is held in the mouth for several minutes.

After the treatment, you may be asked not to rinse, eat or drink for at least 30 minutes to allow the teeth to absorb the fluoride and help repair microscopic carious areas.

Depending on your oral health sta-tus, fluoride treatments may be recom-mended every three, six or 12 months. Your dentist also may recommend ad-ditional preventive measures if you are at a moderate or high risk of developing caries.

These measures may include over-the-counter or prescription therapeutic products such as fluoride mouthrinses, gels or antibacterial mouthrinses Ad-ditionally, the American Dental As-sociation endorses the fluoridation of community water supplies and the use of fluoride-containing products as a safe and effective measure for prevent-ing tooth decay.

Look for products with the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance.

When ankle injuries compete with summer fun

Summer fun brings picnics, bar-beques, and impromptu volleyball and baseball games with friends. But sometimes a slight twist of an ankle can cause a ligament tear, ankle sprain or other ankle injury that takes a toll on summer fun.

Ankle sprains typically occur when the foot turns inward, stretching or tearing the relatively weak ligaments on the outside of the ankle. They are extremely common in any sport that involves jumping, running and turning quickly.

Initially treat an ankle sprain with Rest-Ice-Compression-Elevation (R.I.C.E.) and anti-inflammatory medi-cations, but don't rest it excessively for more than a day. You should try to move your ankle gently to get the circu-lation going and reduce swelling.

Higher degrees of ankle injury may require a short leg cast or walking boot for 2 – 3 weeks. Surgery may be need-ed. You’ll want to see an experienced, board-certified orthopaedic specialist before undergoing any treatment.

OrthoAtlanta is one of the larg-est orthopaedic and sports medicine

practices in Atlanta, including offices in Johns Creek, 678-205-4261, and Gwin-nett / Lawrenceville, 678-957-0757.

Is stress killing you?When it comes to our health, we

often think about the tangible things within our control, such as food, water, exercise, and supplements.

While all of these are very impor-tant, there is another factor which is often ignored but can impact our health in a significant way: stress.

Stress is all around us. Work, rela-tionships, illness, and finances can all create a great deal of stress in our lives. Smaller stressors such as traffic, bad weather, and busy schedules can also accumulate, leaving us feeling trapped. This cumulative stress not only cre-ates emotional and mental issues, but physical issues as well.

For many of my patients, eliminat-ing as many stressors as possible – or at least finding ways to productively

deal with stress – is crucial in order to achieve optimal health.

These personal “therapy sessions” do not need to take hours. Just 5-10 minutes per day of quiet time to relax, pray, meditate, or listen to music are usually enough. Get creative and enjoy your

personal time!Regardless of how busy you might

be, you must make time to deal with your stress.

If you don’t, it could prevent you from feeling well and enjoying life to the fullest.

I can be reached at (770) 551-2730.

Five eye care tips(NAPSI)—The National Eye Institute

(NEI) reminds you to make your eye health a priority and encourages you to take five important steps to protect your sight.

Get a dilated eye exam. Getting a comprehensive dilated eye exam is the only way to know if your eyes are healthy and you are seeing your best. Talk to your eye care professional about how often you should have one.

Live a healthy lifestyle. Eating healthy foods, maintaining a healthy weight, managing chronic conditions and not smoking can lower your risk of eye disease.

Know your family history. Talk to your family members about their eye health history. It’s important to know if anyone has been diagnosed with an eye disease, since many are hereditary. This will help to determine if you are at higher risk for developing an eye disease yourself.

Use protective eyewear. Protect your eyes when doing chores around the house, playing sports, or on the job to prevent eye injuries. This includes wearing safety glasses, goggles, safety shields, and eye guards that are made of polycarbonate. Talk to your eye care

provider about the appropriate type of protective eyewear for your sport or job. Make a habit of wearing the appropri-ate type at all times and encourage your teammates and coworkers to do the same.

Wear sunglasses. Wear sunglasses outside to protect your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. When purchasing sunglasses, look for ones that block out 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB radiation, so you can keep your eyes healthy. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can increase your risk for getting an eye disease like cataract or age-related macular degeneration.

These steps can help you keep your eyes healthy and prevent vision loss and blindness from eye disease.

Senior SCAM Alert! >>

Popular scams affecting our parents and grandparentsBy: sue MCCoRMiCksynergy homeCare

If you, your parent or grandparent is over 65, they probably grew up in an era when business was done with a firm handshake; unfortunately, crooks today are playing on that trust.

The Federal Trade Commission says that fraud complaints to its offices by individuals 60 and older rose at least 47 percent between 2012 and 2014. Seniors are the predominant victims of impostor schemes, where criminals pose as authority figures and claim that money is owed. They also are hit hard by scams involving prizes, sweepstakes and gifts.

Synergy HomeCare will be identify-ing the most common scams that target seniors, along with the warning signs of each scam and information on how you or your loved one can avoid becoming a victim. From Contractor Fraud to IRS Phone Scams, this information will be published in a multi-part series so Don’t miss them! You can also see our Senior Scam Alert Guide on our website at http://www.SynergyHomeCare.com/NorthAtlanta .

Contractor FraudHow It WorksA handyman shows up at your

home unsolicited and offers to do repairs at a very reasonable rate. No contracts are signed, and no references

are checked. The so- called handyman asks you for money upfront to pay for supplies. He begins the work but then disappears with the money, leaving the job unfinished and you with more household problems than before.

How to Avoid It• Always ask for references.• Ask to see their license and insur-

ance documents. Contractors need to have a license and insurance to do work.

• In many cases, permits need to be pulled before any work commences. Do not let someone start work on your home without checking to see if a per-mit is required.

• Never give any money upfront, especially cash that can’t be traced.

Sue McCormick and Stacy Fotos are the owners of Synergy HomeCare North Atlanta and provide non-medical homecare to the seniors in the North Metro Atlanta area. Their caregivers assist people of all ages with any activ-ity of daily living and their goal is to keep your loved ones safe and in their home for as long as possible.

A great smile is easy to share!By: DR. JeffRey JoRDanJordan Orthodontics

Has stress affected your smile? If so, you are not alone. Stress can be revealed in the eyes, the forehead, the nostrils, and the mouth. In your mouth, too much stress wears down the system, through clenching and grinding. Grinding is sliding the teeth from side to side, eventually weaken-ing them, causing decay and sensitiv-ity. Clenching is biting together tightly, overtime, damaging the complex system of muscles, ligaments, disc, and bone. These are two ways the mouth reacts to the demands and threat of stress. Orth-odontic treatment improves function and esthetics of your teeth, minimizing wear and tear. After treatment, a night guard retainer can be made to prevent further damage.

Stress is not going away! As an orthodontist, our concern is not only your physical wellbeing, but also your emotional health, extending beyond the patient to the family. Orthodontists treat families, seeing mothers and fa-thers, brothers and sisters, sometimes from one generation to the next.

While an orthodontist cannot cure you of stress, he or she can help treat the symptoms. A properly fitting and functioning bite is more comfortable and healthier. Besides, a great smile is easy to share!

The benefits of choosing a natural latex mattress

Conventional mattresses, even ex-pensive ones, are often made with poor quality polyurethane foam, which sags well before time, effectively shortening the life of your mattress.

Numerous of our customers, who we really consider our organic families know that they are interested in choos-ing a chemical free sleep alternative. However, they come to our store fairly uncertain of what an “organic mattress“ is. Many people inquire, “Isn’t latex a chemical?” or “is the latex mixed with any unnatural components to become a foam?” Latex is in fact a natural mate-rial. Rubber sap or serum is harvested from a tree in a sustainable process that is not much different than how maple syrup is harvested from sugar maples.

It is truly a blessing that we are able to use this fantastic sap from the Rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis to cre-ate an organic mattress. Beyond the organic nature of latex, a latex mat-tress can offer so many other wonderful benefits. That is why our mattresses are made of breathable organic cotton cover quilted to pure organic wool for

a cool, dry sleep climate; 100% natural Talalay latex; Removable – if you want to change the feel of your bed; Natural - made from certified chemically safe materials.

stocking your dental first-aid kit for your next vacation By: DR. ushMa Patel and DR. BRittany CoRBett

Before you go on your next vacation or short out of town break consider a dental first aid kit. We've all come to expect bumps, bruises and cuts when we're out and about, especially when kids are part of the deal. Consequently, many people tote along bandages, ice packs and antiseptics. Some even carry bee sting kits and accidental poisoning remedies.

But what happens if your crown or filling falls out? Or if your child knocks out a permanent tooth or breaks her braces? And what would you do if you got a toothache out in the middle of nowhere?

Dr. Richard Price, spokesman for the American Dental Association, rec-ommends packing along a small dental first-aid kit, which should include:

- clove oil, a natural pain reliever- tweezers- a dental mirror (ask your dentist

where to get one)- small cotton pellets kept in a zip-

per-style bag (again, ask your dentist where to get these)

- petroleum jelly

- dental floss- soft dental wax,

carried by drugstores- your dentist's

phone number- your insurance

information- instructions

(below) for temporary dental first aid

If you lose a filling - Pain and cleanliness are the issues here. If you aren't in any pain, simply keep the area clean and free of food debris and bacteria to prevent extra pain and to avoid additional cavities and see your dentist as soon as you can. If it hurts, take clean tweezers and grab one of the cotton pellets. Dip it in a little bit of clove oil and place it in the tooth. Don't just dab it; put the whole cotton pellet in the tooth and leave it there. This should minimize the pain until you can get to a dentist. Caution: NEVER put an aspirin on your tooth or gum. Aspirin is an acid and can burn the tissue.

If a cap or a crown falls off - Coat the inside of the cap or crown with a dab of non-toxic Elmer’s glue or petro-leum jelly and gently place it back on

the tooth. See your dentist as soon as you can.

If wire on braces breaks - There are a few things you can do to minimize the discomfort of orthodontic wire protrud-ing from your teeth. Ideally, cover the sharp end with a small piece of dental wax; If you don't have any wax, you can use a little chunk of pre-chewed sugar-less gum. It's not pretty, but it does the job.

If you knock out a tooth or break off a large piece of your tooth – if it's a baby tooth, don't worry about it. However, if it's a permanent tooth, you should keep the tooth in the mouth, between the cheek and gum, to keep it moist. But if that's not possible, submerge the tooth in a glass of milk.

And no matter where you hold the tooth, get to a dentist as quickly as pos-sible. It's likely the tooth can be saved If you get to the dentist within 30 min-utes of losing the tooth.

If a tooth becomes

dislodged or loose - Get to a dentist immediately. Many dentists will make room in their schedule to tend to dental emergencies.

Parents and Teachers take advan-tage of the summer school break; call us at Center for Advanced Dentistry at 770-623-8750 now to make your appointments for you and your chil-dren (yes we do see children of all ages) when it is most convenient for you.
