Safe Snow Shoveling to Avoid Injuries by Dr. Marshall P. Allegra
It’s January 2019 and fortunately, we can still see the grass. Do you remember January 2018? Snowmaggedon met Snowpocalypse during our Polar Vortex. Handling that kind of snow can actually be a life or death experience. Whether you are dusting off the dusting or knee deep in cold and white, keep in mind that there are some safety measures you need to take to avoid the ER. Seriously! According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in 2015: More than 158,000 people were treated in emergency rooms, doctors’ offices, and clinics for injuries that happened while shoveling or removing ice and snow manually More than 15,000 people were injured using snowblowers Those are numbers to take seriously. Additionally, snow removal is responsible for 100 deaths per year for a variety of reasons. Part of the reason can be what type of physical shape you are in. Someone who is used to a vigorous workout and lifting weights is not is as much danger as a couch spud moving a foot of snow with a shovel after no physical exercise in prior months. It strains every muscle in your body, especially your heart. Snow blowers take a bit…

Weight loss—If you do the same old thing, you get the same old thing. Switch it up in 2019!
By Marcie Seninsky, Program Manager, The TrueU Weight Loss at Advanced Endocrinology & Weight Management, Little Silver. Ritu (Malik) Anand, M.D., Board Certified in Endocrinology and in Obesity Management. 732-842-4111. It’s time to make new habits. A habit isn’t just something that you perform regularly. A habit is something you perform automatically, without thought. For example, every day, you get up and brush your teeth. Do you even think about doing it? You were never in the habit of brushing your teeth—you may have even given your parents a hard time about it, but now, it’s become a habit. We’ve all recently formed the new habit of grabbing our phone & taking it with us everywhere. We created that new habit using purposeful continuous repetition. Sometimes, we think that we have forgotten our phone, and then—oh—look—-it’s in our pocket! We automatically put it there! Habit! Habits, or automatic responses also help us get through the day when motivation wanes. Repetition creates a mental association and establishes how you will react to a given situation. How long will it take to put a new habit into place? Some experts say 21 days, some say the average time is 66 days, so…

First Monmouth County patient undergoes new brain bleed treatment, highlights game-changing outcomes
Stroke strikes someone in the United States every 40 seconds. When it does, every second counts. And, in the case of a hemorrhagic stroke – when ruptured blood vessels cause bleeding inside the brain – a patient’s survival depends on it. While the time to treatment is a critical factor in determining the future of a patient’s health, so is the course of treatment itself. Dr. Pinakin R. Jethwa, a board-certified endovascular neurosurgeon with Atlantic NeuroSurgical Specialists (ANS), recently spoke with NJ Advance Media about new, minimally invasive technology – which he pioneered in Monmouth County earlier this year – that is changing the game for patients and their recovery. Q: How are brain bleeds traditionally treated? A: Historically, open brain surgery – called a craniotomy – has been required to reach and remove blood clots. There are cases when craniotomies are the best course of treatment, but in some instances, this technique can unnecessarily expose healthy parts of the brain to damage as sensitive tissue has to be navigated to access and remove the hematoma. In fact, studies have shown many craniotomy patients do not recover as well as expected over the long term because of damage to other…

Managing Grief During the Holidays by Bonnie Gorscak, PhD
When we lose someone close, we love them and miss them forever. Many months and even years after a loss our grief ebbs and flows: at moments it may fade into the background, but at other times it comes crashing in upon us, reminding us of all the ways our loved one’s absence is ever-present in our lives. The holidays, with their family gatherings, special memories, and ubiquitous reminders of what has been lost, can bring intense and even overwhelming grief emotions to those who are recently bereaved, not so recently bereaved, or who are struggling with prolonged or complicated grief. Although these upsurges are common and unsurprising, they can worry family and friends and leave bereaved people feeling blindsided and out of control. To manage these feelings they may try avoiding social situations or putting on a happy face until they are alone—strategies that can be effective in the short run but leave them feeling isolated. Others may turn to heavy drinking or other self-harming behaviors to try to numb the pain, or turn on themselves or other loved ones in irritability or anger. Ignoring, minimizing, or trying to escape from grief, or critically judging oneself for grieving, unfortunately…

Getting Into Shape For The New Year By Barbara Hay
Here it is January 2 and one of the most common New Years resolutions is to “get into shape,” “eat better and work out more,” “to get fit and get healthy.” These intentions make it one of the busiest times for personal trainers across the country. Because of this, January 2 is celebrated as: National Personal Trainer Awareness Day. National Personal Trainer professionals help make our promises from our resolutions, a reality. My personal trainer has played a major role in helping me achieve my health and fitness goals. I’m not done yet and still have a ways to go, but my trainer keeps me accountable and on track. I’m not someone who really enjoys working out, but I do love feeling fit. So I walk, swim and row almost daily and add in the obligatory weight time two or three times each week with my trainer coaching me to do more weight and reps. With my trainer, 2019 will be the year my health and fitness goals are reached and exceeded! Do you have a personal trainer or do you work out on your own? https://hayseedscreative.com/

5 winter driving tips from the tune-up to the tunes
(BPT) – “From Atlantic to Pacific, gee, the traffic is terrific” … because it’s time to head home for the holidays! No matter their destination, Americans are more than twice as likely to drive as fly this year (76 percent vs. 24 percent), according to Hankook Tire’s newest Gauge Index Survey. Where is everyone going? That depends. More than one-third of Americans (36 percent) want to travel somewhere involving sand and palm trees, choosing the beach as their ideal winter getaway. Other top destinations include a trip to the mountains (22 percent) or a family reunion (21 percent). Wherever you are headed, bank on busy roads. Check out these five tips to ensure everything for your trip is well-oiled, well-maintained and, well, worry-free this winter: 1) Check the tires Before settling in behind the wheel, don’t forget to look at your tires. The Gauge found 27 percent of Americans hope to stay on top of their car’s maintenance schedule better in the new year, but it’s never too early to kick-start those resolutions! Instead of kicking the tires, try the penny test to see if yours are ready for the road. Insert the penny into the tread groove with Lincoln’s…

Winter Cycle Riding Tips
It’s that time of year again. In many places around the country, it is getting cold; however, that doesn’t have to keep you off the bike. Follow these eight winter cycling tips for an enjoyable riding experience this season. 1. Dress properly. To stay warm during a winter ride, think in terms of your head, hands, feet and torso. Most of your body heat escapes through your head, so using a balaclava under your helmet will help keep you warm. Wear either long fingered gloves or mittens to protect your hands, and thermal socks to keep your feet warm. If it’s really cold, consider wearing two pairs of socks and use thermal shoe covers to keep the wind off your feet. Wear layers to keep your torso warm, including a lightweight, breathable outer jacket that is both water and wind resistant. It also helps to use fabrics that wick moisture away from the skin. This will help keep you drier and warmer. As a general rule of thumb, use leg warmers to protect your knees when the temperature drops below 60° F. 2. Start warm. Never start your ride with a chill. This is a recipe for a miserable outing because your…

Vegan Instant Pot Chili
Step 1: Prep Veggies and Soak Lentils If you’ve ever cooked with dried lentils, you know how longggg of a soak time and cook time they have. Not with the Instant Pot! Soaking your lentils in one cup of your broth while chopping and preparing the other ingredients is all the soaking these dried lentils need before dropping the rest of your ingredients into the Instant Pot together. Step 2: Turn on Saute Feature on Your Instant Pot In many of our other Instant Pot recipes, we have warned you guys about preheating your Instant Pot using the saute feature and getting the burn message, BUT with this chili, there will be adequate liquid to avoid the burn message often seen in newer Instant Pots. Step 3: Mix Vegan Chili in Your Instant Pot Place all your ingredients in the Instant Pot and set the cook time. The most important thing to remember about this step is to make sure that all your ingredients are mixed well. While the cook time on this is truly only 7 minutes, it will take longer than other recipes for your instant pot to build pressure, so the cook time starts. Grab a glass…

Comprehensive Burn Treatment
A burn is damage to body tissue caused by heat, cold, electricity, chemicals or radiation. Each year almost two million Americans seek medical treatment for burns and the majority are injured in the home. Thermal burns, occurring when hot metals, scalding liquids, steam or flames come in contact with skin, are the most common type. Burns to airways can be caused by inhaling smoke, steam, superheated air or toxic fumes. Injuries range from first degree burns that affect outer layer of the skin to second or third degree burns that extend into deeper tissues. Third degree and inhalation burns are typically treated at a burn center. For those patients, rehabilitation is used to help patients manage pain and recover from muscle damage, nerve damage or severe scarring. After suffering from a severe burn injury, it’s hard to know what to expect and you might be in pain. Our clinicians have the expertise to manage the medical conditions and psychological challenges associated with serious burns. Rehabilitation includes ongoing wound management and physical therapy to improve muscle strength and coordination, lowering the risk of for future problems. Since most burns happen in the home, your risk can be reduced by using…

5 Medicare mistakes that could cost you
(BPT) – You have a lot of choices when it comes to Medicare. And the most important might be choosing to take charge of your Medicare decisions in the first place. Medicare Annual Enrollment, which runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, is your chance to take charge. Here are five common mistakes that you don’t want to make during this time. 1. Allowing automatic plan renewal to make your choice for you Your Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage plan renews every year on Jan. 1, unless you decide to change it. Automatic renewal may be easy, but it might not be the best way to make your Medicare decisions. Plans may change what they cover from year to year, including what you will pay in deductible, premium, copay or coinsurance amounts. Insurance companies review their plans each year to make sure they’re still viable. Shouldn’t you do the same? 2. Ignoring your plan’s Annual Notice of Changes (ANOC) Each fall, you receive an Annual Notice of Changes (ANOC) from your Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage plan. (It should have already hit your mailbox.) This document explains any changes in your plan benefits or costs for the upcoming…
