Chocolate is often seen as an occasional, indulgent treat. But studies show that small amounts of chocolate, the kind that contains natural cocoa and not processed chocolate, may actually produce health benefi ts.

A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition analyzed the chocolate consumption of more than 1,000 people between the ages of 18 and 69. Those who consumed an average of nearly an ounce of chocolate per day were found to have reduced risk of developing diabetes and heart disease. When researchers accounted for other factors such as age, gender, lifestyle, education and diet, the results remained the same.

As we age, our cognitive abilities often decline and cause problems such as forgetting familiar places or names. While this can be extremely frustrating, there may be something you can do to prevent this gradual cognitive decline. It has to do with a different, but just as important, organ in your body — your heart!

According to a study recently published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, individuals with healthier hearts did better on mental acuity tests than those whose hearts were

not as healthy. When the study’s research team revisited the mental acuity of people involved with the study years later, the brain benefi ts linked to a healthy heart continued.

To promote the health of your heart and, thus, your brain, follow “Life’s Simple 7” as outlined by the American Heart Association. The “Simple 7” includes properly managing your weight, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, as well as exercising regularly, eating right and avoiding unhealthy habits like smoking.

BEAUTY PRODUCT MAKEOVER:

If you’re looking for natural alternatives to common beauty products, cooking oils can be your best friend. Dislike the thought of exercising at the

same pace all the time? High-intensity interval training (HIIT) may be the

answer to your activity apathy.

Grapeseed oilGrapeseed oil is a great moisturizer for those with sensitive or oily skin — it won’t clog pores and may actually help clear up breakouts. You can also use small amounts under your eyes to relieve dark circles, or rub a few drops through your hair to prevent split ends and frizz before heat styling with a hair dryer, curling iron or fl at iron.

Edition

READY...

HIIT is a workout technique that involves short periods of full-speed exercise followed by recovery periods of comfortable intensity; these periods should last as long or longer than the all-out intervals. HIIT can be an effective way to improve fi tness, lose weight, and reduce high blood pressure and cholesterol, according to the American College of Sports Medicine. HIIT should supplement, rather than replace, your regular cardiovascular workout. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) recommends HIIT no more than twice a week for up to six weeks per year. Before trying HIIT, consult your doctor to be sure it’s safe for you.

...SET...

Don’t jump into HIIT as soon as your doctor gives you the green light, especially if you’re new to exercise; this could cause injury. Build a fi tness foundation fi rst by doing moderate-intensity aerobic exercise at least three times a week for several weeks.

...GO!

You can do HIIT practically anywhere, including at home. Pick an aerobic exercise you enjoy, such as stationary biking, running (outdoors or on a treadmill) or jumping jacks. This example HIIT session from ACE is a good way to get started:

• Warm up for fi ve minutes at a low intensity.• Alternate one-minute, high-intensity spurts of

activity with two-minute, moderate-intensity recovery periods, for a total of four sets each.

• Finish with a fi ve-minute, low-intensity cool down.

HEALTH IN

Olive oilExtra virgin olive oil works great as a makeup remover — simply use olive oil on a cotton ball to wipe away stubborn waterproof makeup. To gently clean makeup brushes, mix one part olive oil with two parts antibacterial soap, then swirl your brushes in the mixture. Rinse with warm water and let dry.

Kitchen

Coconut oilUse a dab of it on dry hair for frizz control, or coat your hair in coconut oil for an hour before shampooing for a deep condition. You can also use it as shaving cream for a super-close shave without razor burn. If you have dry and cracked feet, use coconut oil as a moisturizer (put on socks afterward to avoid making a mess).

September is Peripheral Arterial Disease Month! Most people are not aware of this condition, but it is becoming increasingly prevalent, particularly as the population ages.

PAD is a condition in which the arteries in the body’s extremities, particularly the legs, narrow. Atherosclerosis — the buildup of plaque in the arteries anywhere between the thigh and the feet — is a common cause of PAD, which results in poor circulation.

Additional risk factors include: • smoking• high cholesterol• high blood pressure• diabetes• family history of atherosclerosis or

coronary artery diseaseAlthough there are often no symptoms,

PAD can be painful. The pain, called claudication, is characterized by a tight, aching or squeezing pain in the calf, thigh or buttock, which limits one’s ability to

walk beyond a few minutes or blocks. Other symptoms may include:

• weak or tired legs• difficulty walking (Pain may go away

when walking stops depending on severity of PAD)

• cold or numb feet and toes• slow-to heal sores• foot pain at rest• erectile dysfunctionTreatment options often involve lifestyle

changes, medications and exercise.

Brandywine Hospital is thrilled to announce that it has invested in advanced technology that allows our interventional cardiologists to treat PAD by performing a procedure in the catheterization lab. With the new device, doctors can actually view inside the artery and at the same time shave away the plaque buildup. Doctors no longer need to rely on X-ray or their sense of touch. As a result, patients and doctors are exposed to less radiation.

If you are experiencing pain while walking or any of the symptoms noted above, please contact your primary care doctor or cardiologist. To find a doctor near you, please visit 4healthier.me/BH-docs.

1. Depression. More than just feeling sad from time to time, depression can cause feelings of hopelessness, despair and lack of motivation for two weeks or longer. People who have heart disease are more likely to have depression, and the two conditions share symptoms, including extreme fatigue and difficulty sleeping.

2. Early menopause. Defined as going more than a year without a menstrual period, menopause happens for most women around age 51. Women who go through menopause before their 46th birthday may have double the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke.

3. Migraines with aura. Some people who have migraines have a visual aura (or dramatic changes in vision) 30 minutes to an hour before their headache starts. Migraines with aura dramatically increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, as well as blood clot complications such as deep vein thrombosis.

4. Moderate to severe asthma. Recent research from the American Heart Association found that people with asthma severe enough to require daily medications were 60 percent more likely to have a heart attack, stroke or other heart-related condition.

5. Extreme anger and anxiety. The risk of heart attack is 8.5 times higher in the two hours after feelings of intense anger and 9.5 times higher in the two hours after extreme anxiety.

5You know cigarettes and fast food can be bad for your heart — but these surprising factors may be putting you at risk.

HEART Surprising

HAZARDS

Women who have migraines with aura and use oral contraceptives are at an even higher risk of heart attack and stroke.

Fast Fact

Want to know how to prevent heart disease? Learn more by visiting 4healthier.me/BH-heartrisk.

SHOCK TO THE HEARTJust like a plumbing system that becomes clogged, coronary artery disease (or the buildup of plaque in your arteries) can disrupt the flow of blood to the heart. Your heart’s electrical system can also malfunction. This electrical system is what causes your heart to beat.

When the heart isn’t beating correctly, blood does not flow as well out of the heart and to your other organs. One type of arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation or Afib, dramatically increases your risk of heart attack and stroke.

“Many arrhythmia cause few symptoms, so it’s important to have regular checkups with your doctor,” says Michael Sabadish, M.D. To avoid problems from arrhythmia, talk with your doctor about your risk factors.

To find a doctor near you, visit 4healthier.me/BH-heartcare or call (610) 510-2060.

3Head to toe, there are a variety

of reasons you might need an orthopedic specialist.

FAST FACTAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, orthopedic surgeons perform more than 1 million joint replacement procedures per year — and that’s only part of their job description.

YOU MAY NEED TO SEE AN ORTHOPEDIC SPECIALIST

Do you live with joint pain? Are you a weekend warrior who overdoes it? Whatever your complaint, if it involves joints, ligaments or muscles, there’s a good chance a doctor specializing in orthopedics can help.

Reasons

HEAD AND NECK PAINA stiff or painful neck may be a neck sprain, caused by anything from car accidents to simple falls when playing with children or grandchildren, and can lead to pain, muscle spasms, headache and even sore throat.

Your doctor will likely recommend non-steroidal anti-infl ammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as treatment, along with ice and massage. More severe sprains may require a soft collar to support your neck while it heals.

SHOULDER PAINAre you active? If you’ve played sports at some point in your life, particularly those that require contact or overhead motion of the arm, you’ve probably done some damage to your labrum — the ring of cartilage that lines your shoulder joint. Symptoms include pain in the front of the shoulder and diffi culty raising the arm overhead.

While it’s diffi cult to prevent, the good news is that not every labrum tear requires surgery. Many cases can be treated through physical therapy to strengthen the muscles surrounding the tear. If surgery is necessary, it may be minimally invasive and performed arthroscopically.

KNEE PAINOsteoarthritis of the knee can cause severe pain, interfering with daily life.

NSAIDs and ice to reduce infl ammation are typically the fi rst line of treatment. Physical therapy is also used to strengthen the muscles around your knee and reduce stress on the joint. On occasion, osteoarthritis pain may be severe enough to require injections to relieve pain and infl ammation, or joint replacement surgery may be an option.

Patient results may vary. Consult your doctor about the benefi ts and risks of any surgical procedure or treatment.

3 PICKING YOUR PERFECT OIL

Massage therapy may seem like a luxury, but it off ers signifi cant health benefi ts. Learn how to incorporate massage at home.

Massage Mov esTO TRY TODAY

Cramped FEETTake a tennis ball or frozen plastic water bottle and roll it under your foot to relieve any built-up tension from the day.

Tight BACK Lie down and place a tennis ball directly under the problem area along your back. Hold the position until tension releases. Remember to breathe deeply.

Stiff NECK Find a tight spot in your neck. Hold your fi ngers together and move them in a circular motion along the bottom of the neck toward the shoulder. Work on releasing the tension that may have worked itself into a knot.

For chronic issues, such as back pain, depression and certain types of cancer, consider visiting a trained massage therapist. Massages may help reduce pain and depression, possibly even boosting serotonin, according to the American Massage Therapy Association.

Not all cooking oils are created equal. Learn which oil to use when for best results.

Every cooking oil has a smoke point, the temperature when an oil begins to break down and starts to smoke, leaving you with a smoky kitchen and burnt-tasting food.

Oils with lower smoke points usually have more intense fl avor.

Oils with high smoke points work great for high-heat cooking but may not taste great on their own.

Review this list of commonly used oils to fi nd what’s right for your dish.

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

Smoke point: 320° F

Use it for: salad dressings, drizzling for fl avor, sautés

COCONUT OIL


Use it for: baking, sautés, margarine/butter replacement on toast or bread

CANOLA OIL


Use it for: all kinds of cooking, including frying, deep-frying, sautés

PEANUT OIL


Use it for: stir-frying, searing meat, roasting, grilling

Peanut oil is cholesterol free and low in saturated fats.

Coconut oil can help raise your HDL (or “good”) cholesterol levels.

Olive oil can help lower your risk for heart attack.

Canola oil is high in omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid.

Health tip:

Trying these three massage

techniques can help improve how

your body feels at the end of the day — especially

if exercise or work puts your

body through the wringer. Plus, it’s

free of charge. Learn these simple massage moves to

get the ball rolling.

BREAST HEALTH EDITIONMyth Busters:

In a sea of information, recommendations and the occasional uninformed guess, knowing the facts about breast health can help keep you afloat.

Don’t let misinformation make waves. Use the truth about breast health to design a breast wellness plan that stays true to your needs.

Myth: If you find a lump, it’s cancer.Fact: Not all lumps are cancerous. Many things can cause lumps or lumpiness in breast tissue, including cysts and fibrosis.

Myth: If no one in your family has had breast cancer, you won’t either.Fact: According to the nonprofit Breastcancer.org, 85 percent of women who get breast cancer have no family history of the disease.

Myth: If your first mammogram comes back clear, there is no need to go back for another.Fact: The American Cancer Society recommends that women of average risk begin having mammograms at age 45 and continue annually until turning 54. Starting at age 55, women can begin having mammograms every other year. Mammograms create a point

of reference doctors use to help determine whether or not your breasts have changed. This makes it easier to identify cancer. Myth: People with larger breasts are more likely to develop breast cancer.Fact: Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate based on size. Women with all sizes of breasts should have regular mammograms.

Myth: Breast implants increase your breast cancer risk.Fact: While breast implants have no effect on whether or not you will get breast cancer, it’s important to have your breasts imaged by a team with experience dealing with implants.

Do you have your facts straight? Visit 4healthier.me/BH-breasthealth to learn more about breast health at Brandywine Hospital.

Fast Fact

Though breast cancer is less common

in men, it is more likely to be fatal.

Men should perform breast self-

exams regularly and report any

changes to their doctors.
