Your Health and...You

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching andFebruary is the month set apart forheart health for that reason. Heart

disease is actually cardiovascular disease, whichencompasses our heart and also our veins andarteries that deliver oxygen and nutrients to allour bones and organs and also remove thebyproducts and toxins our bodies produce. Wewant this system working well!

First, we should get our numberschecked. Cholesterol should be below 200mg/dL (HDL above 60mg/dL and LDLless than 100 mg/dL) , triglyceridesshould be less than 150 mg/dL andblood pressure should be around 120/80.These are the first line of analysis. Astress test may be necessary if we have ahistory of cardiovascular disease in our family, orour numbers are not where they should be.Another level of investigation if cholesterolnumbers are high, may be a full thyroid bloodwork panel, as well, because often times anunderactive thyroid can cause cholesterol toincrease.

What should we do if our numbers aren’twhere they should be? Consult your physician tosee where to start, but if numbers are only slightlyhigh, diet and exercise can be very effective inmoving those numbers back to the normal range.

First, eat as fresh and natural as possible. Theless processing of our food, the more nutrients itcontains and the lower its sodium content(sodium content can be a major culprit in highblood pressure). This means fewer things in abag, box or pouch and more things that are freshand prepared in healthy ways. Purchasing morefruits, vegetables and grains as well as leanprotein sources (lean meats, nuts, legumes, etc.)and preparing them at home is vastly morenutritious than most of the processed items in the

grocery store or restaurant. Use herbs to seasonand flavor foods instead of salt. Whole grains andbeans, legumes, nuts and seeds (unsalted) are allgreat sources of fiber which helps keep ourcholesterol levels down, help us achieve andmaintain a healthy weight, and aid in properdigestion.

Fruits and vegetables are our best source for awide variety of antioxidants and plant nutrients

that help keep our body’s level of oxidativestress low and keep our cardiovascular

system working properly. Inflammationin our body is what leads to illness anddisease and keeping inflammation in

check by filling our plates withantioxidant-rich fruits and veggies isthe key to our state of wellness. Try to

average 10 servings each day.Exercise is, as we all know, very important in

keeping our heart healthy. Our heart is a muscle,and just like the other muscles in our body, if wedon’t give it proper exercise… well, we know theresult… it gets flabby. Again, check with yourphysician before beginning an exercise program,and then do the best exercise for your health:THE ONEYOU WILLDO!

So, thisFebruarystart on anew path forthe year andshowyourselfsome LOVEby takinggood care ofyourHEART.

By Ann E. Funck

Free in February

Cancelling unhappy medicalappointments was so easyin December; the

reminders came via robo-calls on thephone. “Press 3 to cancel” seemedfine advice. No one wanted a freshdental crown to challenge holidayfeasting. And a full frontal visual scanby a wide-eyed, possibly judgmentaldermatologist was chilly and off-putting, so it was put off. . . We gotthrough the holidays with no one wegifted suspecting re-gifting, andfamily members are stillspeaking/texting.

The chickens came home to roostin January, and hopefully we finallydid those postponed appointments.Endured and over.

We can forget our holiday fauxpas past, including eating almost anentire bag of SHELLED pistachio nutsin early January. Only those personsstuck in solitary confinement wouldhave the time required to eatunshelled pistachios. I bought the bagfor a gift, but then I reconsidered.Would they like the nuts as much as Iwould? Not.

“These are rich!” exclaimed ourdaughter Nancy when I offered hersome shelled pistachios out of guilt.She stopped in time. The rest of thebag rattled around my stomach likeglass shards in a kaleidoscope.

Some out-of-town guests’constipation crises occurred here inJanuary, but now the upstairsbathroom toilet is back in workingorder. Evidently, constipation is atraveling companion.

We learned the hard way that ourhome lacked a necessity: a plunger.Whatever happened to our oldfaithful? It was the traditional modelthat followed us through threedecades and three homes. We

searched the furnace room where ithad been a sentinel next to the foldingchair set we rarely use.

“Didn’t we have another onestanding at the ready in the linencloset?” I asked my husband Rich. “Itwas chartreuse and cute. . . pretty, if aplunger can be – wherever it camefrom.”

“Yep. And we’ll probably find itsomeday,” he predicted.

“Did someone borrow one ofours?” I asked, grimacing and full ofdoubt. “Did we give them toGoodwill?”

In any case, several familymembers rushed to Menard’s to buyone before we’d drag a plumber awayfrom his New Year’s buoyancy.

One of our shoppers decided that“you get what you pay for” andbought a $10 “air plunger,” whichcould be called a “pneumatic impacttool” for impacted pipes. Thepatented plastic handle promisedpower but got in the way of a decentgrip. It didn’t work so we took thefancy plunger back (sterile) anddecided on the $2.49 basic model,which did. Now, even more ofMenard’s employees know me - andscatter.

So with this month of February,we’re free for sweet celebration.

Let’s enjoy February’s lovely calmverging on boredom and look onlyforward. That may include relishingdark chocolate on Valentine’s Day.We can chew innocent celery stalksthe first two weeks of February (afterthe new crowns). But why wait forthe 14th, when we can feed our lovefor chocolate for the full month? Weneed that head start.

We can make sugar cookies again– like in December; this time no needfor chilling the dough for reindeer

roll-outs; just drop and flatten with afloured fork or fingers. Sprinkle withred sugars. And of course use realbutter. Once Julia Child departed(nearly 92), the world went to heck.Her middle name was Butter. Fewsouls under 30 would recognize thetaste of pure butter. Italian restaurantsoften serve olive oil instead; otherspresent “butter” whipped with airand a mystery liquid. Everyone fretsabout cholesterol, though the verylatest study calms our fears of a highcholesterol count, reporting that “it’snot that simple.”

Mothers are working in theirchosen profession - and it’s notsecretary. There is little time betweenpizzas and carry-outs for kids’culinary training. Our only hope forthe youngest generation is Mr. Moms.(We’re also free to rant in February!)

So this February, let’s not put offfun. Head for chocolate and/or sugarcookies. Spear a fat strawberry anddunk it in champagne on the 14th.

Fifteen years of Ann's monthly true tales are now in a book titled, A CHEAP SEXY CAR & More Serious Humor. Entertainment for everyone, it is 450pages and $20 hand-delivered -- or $25 if mailed. For a copy, please email her at [email protected] or call 630-820-9896.

That’s simple.We are free

at last.

SPRING PROJECTS | New Projects for 2016 That Impact Oakhurst!

Road ResurfacingThese should be the last Oakhurst roads to be resurfaced:• The Aspen neighborhood• The Wild Meadows neighborhood• Anton Drive

• Mid-road medians on Oakhurst Drive between Eola andMcCoy at the park crossings

• Sidewalk improvements on the south side of McCoy betweenCheshire and Steck School to move the sidewalks further awayfrom the road

• Waubonsie Lake Remediation – This project engineering andpermitting is progressing to improve the ability for the lake tohold storm water during big rain events and return it to itsoriginal state. Should begin work in the summer. I will updatewhen additional information is available.

Ogden Overpass UpdateThe weather for continued construction has been for the mostpart favorable, but I don’t have any increased confidence in thecontractor’s estimates. The latest estimate puts the switchoverto the new elevated lanes into February. Maybe – I’ve seenthese predictions before and not all have happened asprojected. Watch my Alderman Rick Mervine Facebook page forupdates as they are ready to switch traffic. After the switchover,they will then begin work on the other side and all lanes are

expected to be open and operating by fall 2016.

Eola WideningAfter many years, the widening of Eola Road south ofMontgomery Road to Keating Drive has begun. This will makeall sections of Eola at least 4 lanes to Wolf’s Crossing. Thisproject includes a multi-use path and turn lanes along withupgraded utilities. Utility work has started with construction tobegin in the spring. During construction, there will be one laneopen in each direction. Use caution traveling through allconstruction zones.

Winter UpdatesWhile the winter has been relatively mildso far (as of the last week of January)compared to past years, pleaseremember this:• Take care of your pets in the coldweather and don’t leave them outside forextended periods of time• Shovel your sidewalks so schoolchildren have a safe path to the bus stopsor to school• Remove all parked vehicles from the road in any snowfall of 2”or more• Unless there is a snowfall that continues for more than a day,plows will usually wait until the snow stops falling beforeentering the residential neighborhoods to plow those streets. Ifthere is a substantial amount of snow, they will plow more thanonce.• Depending on the type and amount of snow, it may take from8 to 18 hours to clear all of the residential streets after the snowstops falling. With a larger snowfall, this may take longer.• Any salting of the roads takes the action of multiple carstraveling over it to become more effective. Use caution duringthese times• Remember – every dollar spent to plow and salt roads goesdown the drain – literally! It all eventually makes its way to thestorm drains and ends up salting our freshwater streams andlakes. The City uses best practices, professional weatherinformation and road spotters to determine how best to providea safe travel condition for the roads. They make changes asweather and road conditions change. Always use caution duringany winter weather event.

It is an honor to serve you in the 8th Ward. Call me if you have any questions.Rick Mervine, 8th Ward Alderman

Helping your student decide what to choose ishelpful during these weeks as the offers aresometimes over-whelming and your input andadvise can be very useful. Getting signed up forcourses your child wants can alleviate a lot of theanxieties associatedwith entering highschool.
