Through programs like Healthy Abbotsford, the City of Abbotsford is dedicated to helping

residents make healthy local food choices, incorporate physical activity into their daily

routines and their kids’ routines and live tobacco free.

Earlier this year, many people in our community joined me in a healthy living challenge.

Now, I ask all of you to commit to implementing a plan of action for yourself and your

family to live by the healthy guidelines of good nutrition, daily physical activity and living

health, including climate, trails, facilities and programs.

■ Visit www.circlefarmtour.com

CIRCLE FARMTOURMany weight loss programs promise rapid weight loss. But most often they result in the weight being regained just as quickly. Use the checklist below to help you decide if a weight loss program is safe:

1- Does the program recommend that you talk with your doctor before starting?

2- Has a registered dietitian helped to design the program or is one made available to you?

3- Does the program use the Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Circumference to help you set a healthy and realistic weight loss goal?

4- Is the recommended weight loss 1-2 pounds per week?

5- Is the program based on Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide?

6- Does the program provide at least 1200 calories a day for women and 1500 calories a day for men?

7- Does the program allow for personal eating styles as well as individual nutrition needs?

8- Does the program encourage regular, enjoyable physical activity suited to your lifestyle and physical condition?

9- Does the program rely on foods you normally eat and prepare at home instead of special products, foods, or supplements?

10- Is the program free of unrealistic claims or high-pressure sales tactics part of the program?

You should be able to answer YES to all ten questions, and here’s why:

1- Discussing any medical conditions or special needs with your doctor will help reduce risk to your health.

2- Registered dietitians are specially trained to design sound plans to help you lose weight and stay healthy.

3- Goal weights should be realistic.

4- A gradual weight loss of 1-2 pounds a week is safe and achievable.

5- The best way to get the nutrients you need is to eat a balanced variety of foods every day.

6- If the plan provides for fewer calories than this, it will be dif� cult to get your required nutrients.

7- A good weight loss program will take into account your nutrient needs, lifestyle, and food preferences.

8- Physical activity is an important part of any weight loss program. You’ll burn calories, get � t, and feel great.

9- A permanent change in your eating pattern and activity level is what’s going to keep lost weight off, not a reliance on special foods or supplements.

10- If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

A balanced healthy diet, combined with regular physical activity, is a sure-� re prescription for achieving a healthy weight and feeling great. So if your diet program � ts the bill, you’re well on your way!

5 Steps to Better SleepCONSEQUENCES OF BEING SLEEP DEPRIVED:• Memory loss, forgetfulness and impaired judgment.

• Weight gain or obesity from increased appetite and cravings for unhealthy foods.

• Weakened immune system becoming susceptible to the effects of viruses.

• Major health issues such as high blood pressure, heart problems, and diabetes.

• Depression, anxiety and a lowered sex drive.

5 STEPS TO BETTER SLEEP:

1- Accept the fact that sleep is a vital part of a healthy lifestyle not to be taken for granted.

2- Pay attention to your sleep patterns and make changes as needed. For starters, wake up and go to bed at the same time each day to help set the sleep cycle for successive days.

3- Gradually move to an earlier bed-time. Reduce your bedtime by 15 minutes each night until you are able to sleep for 7 to 8 hours.

4- Make your bedroom ‘sleep welcoming.’ You should associate your bedroom only with sleep and sex — don’t read, watch TV, have an argument or plan your next day’s agenda in your bedroom.

5- Reduce the use of stimulants. Minimize caffeine intake after lunch; no alcohol within four hours of going to bed; and cut out tobacco as nicotine withdrawal symptoms can wake you up.

SLEEP DEPRIVATION CAN HAVE COSTLY OUTCOMES 20% of Canadian adults reported to have dozed off while driving.100,000 crashes, 40,000 injuries and 1,500 fatalities happen each year in the US as a result of fatigued and drowsy drivers.


HELPING STUDENTS & FAMILIESCHOOSE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Students are more likely to succeed if they are healthy and active. Here are some tips for parents to encourage healthy eating and an active lifestyle for their children:

• Encourage your children to eat breakfast every day, as it provides fuel for the brain to learn and helps them maintain a healthy weight. • Keep nutritious foods, like cut-up vegetables and fruit, cheese sticks, yogurt and butter-free popcorn on hand to make healthy snacking easy. • Encourage your children to choose milk or water at meals instead of sugary drinks or energy drinks. • Get children active through sports, or go for nightly family walks or bike rides. • Develop good hand-washing habits, as frequent hand-washing reduces the spread of cold and flu viruses.

Hearing loss isn’t a harmless condition to be ignored. In fact, hearing loss often coexists with other serious health problems. And a growing body of research indicates that there may be a link. Studies show that people with heart disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and depression may all have an increased risk of hearing loss.When left untreated, hearing loss alone can lead to a wide range of physi-

cal and emotional conditions. Impaired memory and the impaired ability to learn new tasks, reduced alertness, increased risk to personal safety, irritability, negativism, anger, fatigue, tension and stress are among its more common side effects. But when untreated hearing loss coexists with a chronic illness, the likelihood is all the greater that the individual will experi-ence exacerbated levels of stress and diminished quality of life.Here’s the good news: Research also indicates that professionally � tted

hearing aids can help improve quality of life for people with chronic dis-eases when hearing loss does coexist.“In the vast majority of cases, hearing loss can be addressed with hearing

aids to help people hear better and improve their quality of life,” says Dr. Sergei Kochkin, executive director of the Better Hearing Institute (BHI). “I strongly urge anyone with heart disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer’s, and/or depression to talk with their doctor and make hearing screenings a routine part of their medical care.”BHI encourages people to take a free, quick, and con� dential online hear-

ing test at www.hearingcheck.org to determine if they need a compre-hensive hearing check by a hearing professional. In the event that further testing is needed, contact Robertson Hearing Center.

Robertson Hearing has been helping the community of Abbotsford with their hearing health needs for 23 years. This local business offers a full range of audiometric services, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and pro-cedures.While the hearing industry has become saturated with retail sales tac-

tics, Robertson Hearing is committed to a professional service with your hearing health needs as their primary concern. “Any of� ce can sell you a hearing aid, but selecting instruments that best suit your needs and the customer service afterwards is most important” says owner Larry Nickel.Larry invites you to make an appointment for a comprehensive hearing

assessment and consultation.

5-2-1-0: All You Need to Remember for Raising Children with Healthy Weights

“JUST PLAY. HAVE FUN. ENJOY THE GAME.” - MICHAEL JORDAN

KIDDIN’ AROUND

Advice on proper nutrition and physical activity can be confusing and at times overwhelming. 5-2-1-0 simpli� es this information into four simple guidelines. Here are some tips to help you and your kids adopt the 5-2-1-0 guidelines:

5 Enjoy 5 or more vegetables and fruits every day• Choose vegetables and fruit for snacks most of the time.

Avoid snacks high in sugar, fat and salt.• Try beginning dinner with a salad or raw vegetables.• Keep a bowl of fruit out for the kids to grab as an easy

snack.

• Children are healthier when they eat with their family – eat dinner together.

2 Power down. No more than 2 hours of screen time a day

• Power down TV’s, video games, computers and other elec-tronics and power up family games, outings and activities.

• Enjoy quality family time during meals: turn off the TV, and focus on each other.

• Keep board games, books and puzzles on hand as an alter-native to TV.

1 Play actively at least 1 hour each day• Children need to move and play as much as possible;

provide the space and time for active play.• Choose fun, active family outings such as ice skating or

playing games at the park. • Set an example and live an active lifestyle. Children of ac-

tive parents are more likely to be active themselves.• Involve children in household chores.

0 Zero sugar - sweetened drinks

BIRTH – AGE 3:Brushing - wipe your baby’s gums after each feeding with a clean cloth or soft infant toothbrush. As soon as the �rst tooth appears start brushing your child’s teeth twice a day with a dab of �uoridated toothpaste (size of a rice grain). Bedtime drinks - putting your child to bed with a bottle containing milk and juice or breastfeeding your child to sleep can lead to severe tooth decay. Limit the frequency of snacking - especially fruit juices and other snacks that are typically high in sugar. The more frequently your child nibbles, the more likely to have cavities.First visit - bring your child for a �rst dental visit by his �rst birthday. Dental problems can begin early so establishing a prevention program with your dentist is very important.

AGE 3 - AGE 6: Start �ossing - once a day cleans between the teeth where the toothbrush can’t reach. Flossing can be tricky for this age so you will have to help. Prolonged �nger / paci�er habit can change your child’s bite. Your child may bene�t from your dentist’s help to stop the habit at around age 3-4.Fluoride - If your child is at a higher risk of developing cavities, you may consider providing a �uoride supplement. Check with your dentist to see if it is necessary.Supervise their brushing - teach them to slow down and brush for two minutes. It is important to check and make sure your child is reaching far enough back in the mouth to clean their new molars.

AGE 6 – AGE 12:Think about �ssure sealants on your child’s teeth. Even if your child brushes and �osses carefully, it is sometimes impossible to clean the tiny crevices on certain teeth. Sealants “seal out” food and plaque and reduce the risk of decay. Sports and teeth - when your child is actively involved in high impact sports like hockey and basketball, it is important to think about mouth protection. A mouth guard can absorb forces on impact which will help prevent injury. Accidents happen - if your child is involved in an accident and you think their permanent tooth is injured, contact your dentist immediately. Depending on the type of injury, the survival of an injured tooth can be extremely time sensitive.

You’ve just been told you need dentures and, like most people in your position, you’re unsure and probably nervous about what to expect. Change is never easy,

especially when it involves something as personal as your mouth. If you’re like most people 40 and older, you place a lot of importance on your smile because you believe it is the �rst thing that people notice about you. Your fears are not uncommon and many of the patients we see who need dentures express the same concerns.

Many people older than 40 are missing multiple teeth and have a full or partial denture, which means someone you know may be going through the same transition as you and may not even be aware of it. That’s because dentures aren’t as noticeable as you may think. Dentures can be made to closely resemble the look of your natural teeth so there is little change in appearance. By replacing miss-ing teeth dentures can help you speak better, improve the chewing of most foods, and restore a natural-looking smile. After a period of adjustment, proper �tting dentures will be comfortable, and, they will boost your self-esteem.

When you �rst start wearing dentures, you may �nd pro-nouncing certain words may require practice, but read-ing out loud and repeating troublesome words helps. If you notice your dentures “click” while you’re talking, speak slower.

Your new dentures may feel awkward for a few weeks until you get used to them. The dentures may also feel loose while the muscles of your cheek and tongue learn to keep them in place. This feeling will fade as your mouth becomes ac-customed to your new dentures. However, during this time, you may want to consider using a small amount of denture adhesive to help keep your dentures in place.

You’ve just been told you need dentures and, like most people in your position, you’re unsure and probably nervous about what to expect. Change is never easy, especially when it involves something as personal as your mouth. If you’re like most peo-ple 40 and older, you place a lot of importance on your smile because you believe it is the �rst thing that people notice about you. Your fears are not uncommon and many of the patients we see who need dentures express the same concerns.

Many people older than 40 are missing multiple teeth and have a full or partial denture, which means someone you know may be going through the same transition as you and may not even be aware of it. That’s because dentures aren’t as noticeable as you may think. Dentures can be made to closely resemble the look of your natural teeth so there is little change in appearance. By replacing missing teeth dentures can help you speak better, improve the chewing of most foods, and restore a natural-look-ing smile. After a period of adjustment, proper �tting dentures will be comfortable and they will boost your self-esteem.

When you �rst start wearing dentures, you may �nd pronounc-ing certain words may require practice, but reading out loud and repeating troublesome words helps. This practice will train the tongue and lips to relax and these dif�culties will correct them-selves in a short time.

Your new dentures may feel awkward for 6-8 weeks until you get used to them. The dentures may also feel loose while the muscles of your cheek and tongue learn to keep them in place. This feeling will fade as your mouth becomes accustomed to your new dentures. However, during this time, you may want to consider using a small amount of denture adhesive to help keep your dentures in place. After 10 to 12 months your healing should be complete and your dentures will need relining for a better �t.

Hundreds of thousands of people wear dentures with ease and, in time, you too will feel comfortable, secure and successful in wearing your dentures.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWhy is there such a wide range in the cost of a denture?

Cost=Quality. A quality, well-�tting, and natural looking denture takes time to make and costs more.

How long will my dentures last?There is not a removable prosthesis made for the mouth that is permanent. The mouth is constantly changing so on aver-age, a partial or a denture may be expected to last about 5 years.

Why are my dentures becoming loose?If your dentures are over 5 years old and if they have not been relined every 2 years you probably will have some problems with the �t of your dentures. Your gum tissue and jaw bone shrink with time. This causes the denture to be-come loose resulting in a poor �t. Poor �tting dentures can lead to bite problems, speech impediments and tissue irri-tations. Leaving this condition unchecked can lead to com-plicated situations in the future. A visit to your denturist for an oral health examination will determine the cause of your ill-�tting dentures.

Should I take my denture out at night?If you choose to keep your dentures in overnight, always clean them thoroughly before you go to bed - just as you would your natural teeth, but use a denture cleanser rather than toothpaste, as toothpaste can scratch dentures. Leav-ing your dentures out at night gives your mouth and gums an opportunity to recover from the effort of supporting your dentures during the day. When dentures are left out of the mouth, they should be placed in a container �lled with water to prevent drying and possible dimensional changes of the denture base material. It is also important to maintain good oral hygiene by cleaning gums, cheeks and tongue with a soft toothbrush where bacteria also resides.

How do I take care of my dentures?Your dentures are an investment and require care and at-tention. Just like natural teeth, dentures always need to be cleaned morning and night in order to remove food particles and plaque. This is best done with a mild denture cleanser. Your denturist will help maintain your denture(s) and oral tissues so they stay at their optimum performance. The �t and function of your dentures and oral tissues are an inte-gral part of your well-being. An annual examination by your denturist will ensure peace of mind.

How long will the implants for my (dentures over implants) last?Reports show many implants lasting 20 years or a life time with proper care and regular yearly check-ups at your dental professional. These are the factors which could reduce the life expectancy of your implants:

• your general health

• oral hygiene

• smoking

• grinding your teeth

Some parts of the implants may need replacing with time because of wear or deterioration. The dentures themselves should be replaced every 5 years and relined every 2 years.

Denturists are denture specialists; they specialize in the man-ufacturing of denture prosthetics. Denturists have a profes-sional designation of Registered Denturist (RD). You do not need a referral from another health professional to consult with a Denturist. A Denturist can refer you to other health care professionals. Denturists are pro�cient and time effec-tive in the delivery of denture treatments. Most Denturists fabricate your prosthetics on premises, ensuring quality con-trol and care.

Hearing loss, also known as hearing impairment, is a sudden or gradual decrease in the ability to hear. Although hearing loss is especially common in older adults, it affects people of all ages, can range from mild to severe, and can be reversible, temporary, or permanent. Answer the following questions to check for hearing loss and determine whether you need to have your hearing checked.

If you have 0 to 2 “Yes” answers, your hearing probably is good. Take the test again in a few months, especially if you are routinely exposed to loud noises. If you have 3 or more “Yes” answers, you may have some hearing loss and may want to see a health professional for a hearing evaluation. [Adapted from the U.S. National Institute on Deafness and Other Communicative Disorders]

Hearing loss is sometimes reversible. If it is not, hearing aids and other devices can help the person adapt to reduced hearing and help make communication, social interaction, and work and leisure activities easier and more enjoyable.

“EAT WELL, DRINK IN MODERATION, AND SLEEP SOUND; IN THESE THREE GOOD HEALTH ABOUND.” - PROVERB

SHOP HEALTHY

Healthy Eating on a Budget“Make sure you eat a well-balanced diet by getting all four food groups”. You’ve heard it all before but eating a healthy diet on a budget can seem impossible. Here are some tips on getting the most nutrient dense food for your dollar. Make a list and stick to it: Knowing what you need will keep your bill low and cut down on impulse buys.Choose nutrients vs. calories: Sodas, vitamin drinks and juice provide excess sugar and calories and leave you hungry. Instead choose fresh fruit to get your antioxidant boost (and �bers) and hydrate with water (it’s free).Cut back on convenience foods: These foods can save you time in the long run but often come with a larger price tag and extra fat, calories, sugar and sodium that you don’t need. Instead buy food in its whole form and do the prep

and cooking yourself. Check out www.heartandstroke.com for easy to make recipes.Buy big/bulk: Larger packages and bulk foods can get you more food for dollar. Look for the largest size that can be �nished before spoiling. Buy bulk grains and beans and store in your own containers at home. Don’t forget to look at the unit price. Make the freezer your friend: When buying large amounts of food or cooking large batches, freeze the extras. For example block cheese, fresh fruit, casseroles and breads last for months when frozen. Go meatless: Legumes, lentils, beans and tofu provide a lower price alternative protein choice which is high �ber.Check out www.pulsecanada.com for tips and recipes.

Learn about food group bargains:Fruits and vegetables: root veggies such as carrots and turnips, frozen/canned vegetables and raisins, just past their peak produce Grains: bulk whole grains such as oats, barley and rice, day old bread/bunsDairy and alternatives: skim milk powder, plain yogurt with your own fresh/frozen fruitMeat and alternatives: eggs, legumes, canned �sh, peanut butter, peanuts

Eating healthy doesn’t have to cost a lot, you just have to shop and cook a bit differently. For more information on healthy eating contact Pavan Johal, Registered Dietitian at [email protected].

A HEALTHY HOME RESOURCESBC Drug and Poison Information Centre:The BC DPIC website includes information on poison

prevention, safe medication use and frequently asked

questions. They have a 24-hour line which you can call

As adults we don’t see the world the same way as children. Imagine how things look from the eyes of a child (window cleaner looks like a sports drink, pain medication looks like candy). While many household products do not hurt us when used

properly, they can often cause harm if they are used the wrong way, in the wrong amount, or by the wrong person. Take a look through your home for poisonous products that should be locked or out of children’s reach.

Is Your Home Safe?

HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?Antifreeze (windshield washer � uid, gasoline antifreeze) and de-icers (lock deicer) are very poisonous. Less than one teaspoon can cause serious injury and even death.
