Simple Strategies Keys to CombatAlzheimer's

Simple strategies promoting

health can delay Alzheimer's disease

by many years.

A healthy lifestyle including exer-

cise, eating right and controlling

stress reduces not only the risk of a

heart attack and stroke but also the

risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative

disorder of the brain associated with

relentless and insidiously progres-

sive damage to brain cells. Abnor-

malities are present in the brain 20

years before symptoms develop. Ini-

tially, an abnormal protein called

beta amyloid precursor protein accu-

mulates in and around brain cells.

The protein causes a subtle inflam-

mation that damages and destroys

the cells. When destruction of the

brain becomes severe enough, symp-

toms develop.

Alzheimer's disease initially affects

that part of the brain responsible forshort-term memory. Thus, the earli-

est symptoms include forgetting ap-

pointments, repeating yourself and

having difficulties remembering re-

cent events.

Abnormalities characteristic of

Alzheimer's can be found in well

over 50 percent of brains examined

at autopsy, even though many die

with no memory problems. When

symptoms initially develop is de-

pendent not only on the severity of

the degeneration but also on the

health of the unaffected brain. High

blood pressure, cholesterol deposits

in arteries, major or multiple minorstrokes, diabetes and a host of other

problems all impair brain function.

This decline in function reduces the

ability of the brain to compensate for

the degeneration caused by

Alzheimer's, resulting in the devel-

opment of symptoms at an earlier

age.

It is not surprising, therefore, that

compelling research shows that

strategies to reduce the risk of heart

disease are more effective at slowing

the rate of progression of

Alzheimer's than any of the current

medications used to treat the disease.

Furthermore, if heart disease is not

present, the brain is likely to be

healthier and more able to adapt tochanges in the brain caused by

Alzheimer's. Only if this person lives

well past age 90 would memory loss

develop.

If Alzheimer's pathology is present

in the brain, nothing is more impor-

tant than delaying the time at which

memory loss occurs and the rate atwhich it progresses. This will assure

additional years of independent life,

delaying the need for caregiving and

nursing

home

place-

ment.

This of-

fers the potential of substantial re-

ductions in the emotional and

financial burdens of the disease

while improving the quality of life of

families.

The vast majority of baby boomers

will reach the age of 85, at which

time half will have memory prob-

lems severe enough to prevent them

from living alone without assistance.

At middle age and beyond, the best

strategy to maintain a robust mem-

ory throughout life is to eat right, ex-ercise and prevent high blood

pressure, elevated cholesterol and di-

abetes. And for those with heart dis-

ease, treatment with medications that

include aspirin, statins to lower cho-

lesterol, beta-blockers and the an-

giotensin-converting-enzyme

inhibitors better known as ACE in-

hibitors (drugs used to treat high

blood pressure) not only preventworsening heart problems but also

reduce the risk of memory loss.

Research indicates that the more ac-

tive the brain, the lower risk of

Alzheimer's. Studies of twins have

shown that the person with the

higher degree and a history of life-

long learning is far less likely to de-velop memory loss than his identical

twin who is less educated.

How Seniors Can Stay Safe InThe Summer Heat And Sun

Sunny days uplift spirits. But seniors need

to take special precautions to make sure their en-joyment of summer is not eclipsed by the pain of

sunburn or the harmful effects of dehydration and

heat illness.

Physical changes that come with aging make older

adults more vulnerable to summers heat and hu-

midity. The American Geriatrics Societys Foun-

dation for Health in Aging (FHIA) reports that

most of the 200 Americans who die each summer

of heat-related complications are over 50.Seniors become less sensitive to heat and the feel-

ing of thirst as they age. And on top of that, cer-

tain medical conditions, such as heart disease, and

medications commonly taken by seniorswater

pills, allergy and sinus medications, and antide-

pressantsfurther increase the risk.

FHIA warns that temperatures in the low 90s can

be very dangerous to seniors and offers seniorsand their caregivers a wide variety of hot weather

safety tips.

Rdis id: Turn on the air conditioner or go to an air

conditioned placesenior center, mall, movie

theater, or library, for example. Fans are not

sufficient.

Stay indoors during excessive heat, and

when outside, avoid the sun as much as pos-sible, wear hats and sunglasses, and use

SPF 30 or higher sunscreen

Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting

clothing

Avoid strenuous activity

Take cool showers, baths, or sponge baths

FHIA also recommends that family members or

friends check on seniors at least twice a day dur-

ing a heat wave Family and professional care-

givers can make a special effort to help seniors get

enough to drink, as the need for water and nonal-

coholic and decaffeinated beverages rises with the

temperature. This includes keeping a good variety

of beverages on hand and encouraging frequent

drinking of smaller quantities as opposed to lessfrequent drinking of larger quantities.

Use the urine test to confirm whether you or a

loved one is drinking enough. Light yellow urine

is usually a sign that liquid consumption is ade-

quate, while darker urine may signal that more

liquid is needed.

Bwr f H IsssOverexposure to the heat can lead to a variety ofserious health problems.

Heat exhaustion is a warning that your body

cannot cool itself. Symptoms include thirst, dizzi-

ness, weakness, poor coordination, nausea and

sweating. Body temperature stays normal, but the

skin feels cold and clammy and pulse can be nor-

mal or raised. If this is the case, rest in a cool

place, drink plenty of fluids and take a cool

shower or sponge bath. This condition can turn

into heatstroke, so if you do not feel better

quickly, seek medical care right away.

THE RIGHT KIND OF FISHING (AND HOW NOT TO BE THE CATCH OF THE DAY)This Fathers Day, you may be in-

clined to spend some quality time

with Dad, maybe take him out camp-

ing or fishing. But try to make sure

that nobody else tries to phish

with you or your father.

These days, all people (including fa-

thers and sons) need to be cautious

of scams Internet, mail, and even

phone scams which can damage

your credit score and wallet. Scam

artists have become shrewd. Any

time someone asks for your personal

information, you should be wary.

Particularly cruel are swindlers who

target Social Security beneficiaries.

As a rule of thumb, Social Security

will not call or email you for your

personal information such as your

Social Security number or banking

information. If someone contacts

you and asks for this kind of infor-

mation and claims to be from Social

Security, do not give out your per-

sonal information without first con-

tacting Social Security to verify the

validity of the person contacting

you. It could be an identity thief on

the other end phishing for your per-

sonal information. Just call the local

Social Security office, or Social Se-

curitys toll-free number at 1-800-

772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

If you receive a suspicious call,

please report it to the Fraud Hotline.

Reports may be made online atwww.socialsecurity.gov/frau-

dreport/oig/public_fraud_report-

ing/form.htm or by telephone at

1-800-269-0271 from 10:00 a.m. to

4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.Please include the following details:

The alleged suspect(s) and

victim(s) names, addresses,

phone numbers, dates of birth,

and

Social Security numbers;

Description of the fraud and

the location where the fraud

took place;When and how the fraud was

committed;

Why the person committed

the fraud (if known); and

Who else has knowledge of

the potential violation.

Identity theft is one of the fastest-

growing crimes in America. If you,your father, or anyone you know has

been the victim of an identity thief,

the place to contact is the Federal

Trade Commission (FTC) at

www.idtheft.gov. Or, call 1-877-

IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338);TTY 1-866-653-4261.

Some people who receive Social Se-

curity and Supplemental Security In-

come (SSI) benefits are victimized

by misleading advertisers. Such

companies offer Social Security

services for a fee, even though the

same services are available directlyfrom Social Security free of charge.

Especially upsetting are such ads

that make it appear as though the ad

has come directly from Social Secu-

rity. By law, such advertisements

must indicate that the company is

not affiliated with Social Security.

If you or your dad see what you be-

lieve is misleading advertising forSocial Security services from a com-

pany that does not admit it is not af-

filiated with Social Security, send

the complete mailing, including the

envelope, to: Office of the Inspector

General, Fraud Hotline, Social Secu-

rity Administration, P.O. Box 17768,

Baltimore, MD 21235. Also, advise

your State's attorney general or con-sumer affairs office and the Better

Business Bureau. You can visit the

Heat stroke is life threatening andrequires emergency medical help.

After calling 911, get the individual

to a cool place. Signs of heat stroke

include fainting, body temperature

above 104 F, confusion, irritable-

ness, staggering, dry, flushed skin,

strong, rapid pulse or slow, weak

pulse, not sweating, acting delirious

or being in a coma.

Prig agis S-

brSeniors particularly need to avoid

sun exposure if they take certain

medications that increase sensitivity

to the sun, such as water pills, antibi-

otics, some antidepressants and non-

steroidal anti-inflammatory drugsused to treat arthritis pain and in-

flammation.

The Mayo Clinic offers the follow-

ing guidance for treating sunburn:

Take a cool bath or apply coldcompresses to the affected skin

Apply over-the-counter hydro-

cortisone cream, aloe or a mois-

turizer

Do not break blisters. Break-

ing them will slow the healing

process and increase risk of in-

fection. Cover blisters with light,

non-stick gauze, if needed.

Take an over-the-counter pain

reliever until redness and sore-

ness subside.

Continue using moisturizing

cream while the skin peels.

However, see a doctor if severe

sunburn covers a large area with

blisters, is accompanied by highfever or severe pain and does

not improve in a few days.

Stay Safe In The Summer Heat...

Continued from page 2...Keeping

your mind keen and active helps

maintain a healthy brain. These in-

dividuals are far better able to com-pensate for Alzheimer's-induced

brain damage.

However, keeping the mind active

does not prevent the relentless pro-

gression of Alzheimer's so that

when the disease finally manifests it

is more advanced and appears to

progress more rapidly.

While age is the most important

risk factor for Alzheimer's, the

second most important is family

history. If more than one close

family member has been diag-

nosed with the disease, the risk

in younger family members is

50 percent higher. For these in-dividuals, some experts believe

that in addition to a healthy

lifestyle, beginning at an age

that is 20 years younger than

symptoms developed in their af-

fected relative, they should betreated as if they have had a

heart attack. This includes low-

ering the bad or LDL cholesterol

to below 70, aggressively main-

taining normal blood pressure

and being treated with a low

dose of an ACE inhibitor.

We must all hope that in the near fu-

ture there will be a cure for

Alzheimer's. The size of the coming

epidemic makes it ever more impor-

tant to emphasize strategies to im-

prove both heart and brain health.

The Great Outdoors Container Gardening and Senior Health

Fresh air and a bit of sunshine are perhaps

two things we all take for granted, not real-

izing the impact both can have on our

health. The benefits of spending time in

the great outdoors are bountiful - sharper

mental states, happier moods, overall im-

proved physical health and a sense of well-

being. For these reasons, alone, it is

important for seniors to be encouraged toenjoy a bit of time every day outside when

possible.

A brisk walk around the neighborhood

may be sufficient for many seniors. But,

consider another outdoor activity which

can also boost levels of health and wellbe-

ing: gardening. Gardening has long been

declared by healthcare professionals as anactivity that can lower blood pressure, re-

duce stress and alleviate depression. The

physical aspects of gardening promote

greater mobility as well as fine motor co-

ordination, which is important for seniors

as they grow older.

Many people think of gardens in terms of

large, dirt-filled plots of land, which may

be inappropriate for most seniors. How-ever, over the past decade, gardening in

containers of various shapes and sizes has

become quite the trend. People of all ages

grow shrubs, flowers, trees and even herbs

and vegetables in containers rather than

planting them in the ground. Container

gardens are more manageable for those

who have limited time and space, but who

enjoy the aspects of gardening. Containergardening is perfect for seniors, as it re-

quires less strenuous work, while offering

the health benefits of spending time out-

side as well as

the visual color-

ful fruits of ones

labor.

When helping

seniors shop for

container garden-

ing supplies it isimportant to

choose items

conducive to the

seniors outdoor

space and appropriate for their physical

abilities. Be sure to choose plants that re-

quire low light for shady spaces, or if the

spot is sunny, pick plants appropriate for

full-sun. Choose a watering can that iseasy for the senior to manage when filled.

Plastic pots may be easier to relocate dur-

ing winter months, but glazed terra cotta

pots can add a burst of color if desired. A

good pair of pruners and a pair of garden-

ing gloves are essential in maintaining any

garden.

Container gardening is a perfect activity

for family members or caregivers of sen-iors to become involved in doing. The re-

sponsibility of caring for something gives

seniors a sense of purpose. The interaction

while gardening together can cultivate a

greater sense of self-worth for the senior

and reduces the sense of isolation many

seniors experience. The rewards can be

two-fold providing the satisfaction of

caring for and watching your gardens growand a sense of togetherness which grows in

tandem.

And finally, while youre enjoying the rightkind of fishing with

Dad this Fathers day, you may want to tell him aboutExtra

Help with Medicare prescription drug costs. If your father is

covered by Medicare and has limited income and resources, he

may be eligible forExtra Help available through Social Se-

curity to pay part of his monthly premiums, annual de-

ductibles, and prescription co-payments.

We estimate that theExtra Help is worth about $4,000 per year.

That kind of savings buys a lot of bait and tackle. Learn more at

I talked to Elephant Butte

local fishing guide FrankVilorio. Hes been a fishing

guide there for 19 years. He

says the fishing continues to

be very good despite the

drought and water levels

being very low.The New Mexico Game

and Fish Department period-

ically stock the lake with

strippers, walleyes and large

mouth bass. Vilorio says the

lake was stocked with750,000 striper frys (young

fish about 1 inch long) last

year. New Mexico fish biol-

ogists claim thirty-six thou-

sand will make it to 5-8 lbs

in about five years. The aver-

age striper caught in the lake

is around 8-12 lbs. Trophies

(the largest) range from 30-40 lbs.

If youre wondering what

kind of fish swim

the lake, Vilorio

says there are quite

a few. You can expect

catching anything from

Stripers, Walleye, Small-mouth and Largemouth

Bass, Crappies, Perch,

Bream, Catfish, White Drum

and occasionally Rainbow

Trout if they can make it

down river. Just a month or

so ago a 30 Northern Pike

was caught Vilorio says

that hasnt happened

in a very long time.

Vilorio says that de-

termining when the

fish bite the best is based on

a lot of different aspects. He

says some of these factors

include water temperature,

moon cycle, barometric pres-

sure (affected by frontalweather systems), wind and

the direction its coming

from, lake boat

traffic,

angle of

the sun and water clarity.

Vilorio says fish seem to bite

the best when water temper-

atures are on the rise such as

winter to spring and spring

to summer. The bite slows

down mid-summer, so we

fish at night with lights.

Weather frontal systems that

come in with wind blowing

from the north affects the

fishing the most. Vilorio

says the fish seem to get lockjaw and go deeper in the

water and fishing seems to

be less productive. Most

fishermen agree that before

the approach of a cold front

fishing can be good.

Most fishermen

I talked to over the

years put a lot of ef-

fort into fishing the

cycle of the moon. Vilorio

believes the new moon cycle

(no moon) is best especially

a few days before or a few

days after. It seems that on

full moon periods fish tend

to bite less often, especially

during the daytime.

ule a fishing trip with Frank

Vilorio, you can reach him at

This happy-go-lucky view of small-

town vice and statewide political

side-stepping recounts the good

times and the demise of the Chicken

Ranch, known since the 1850s as

all of Texas. Governors, senators,

mayors, and even victorious college

football teams frequent Miss Monas

cozy bordello until that puritan

nemesis Watchdog focuses his tele-

vision cameras and his righteous in-

dignation on the institution.
