Foods that help

fight cancerWhile no single food or

ingredient can prevent people from getting cancer,

research has shown a link between excess body fat and various cancers. A poor diet that's high in fat can contribute to excess body fat, which the American Institute for Cancer Research has linked to higher risks for developing cancers of the esophagus, pancreas, colon and rectum, and gallbladder, among others.

The AICR notes that research on foods that fight cancer is ongoing, but the following are some of the foods that can play a role in cancer prevention.

ApplesApples are a good source of fiber, which can help men and women lower their cancer risk. Dietary fiber can increase feelings of fullness, which reduces the likelihood that people will overeat. Men and women who do not overeat are less likely to accumulate the excess body fat that increases their risk for various cancers. In addition, apples' dietary fiber contains pectin, a polysaccharide that bacteria in the stomach can use to produce compounds that protect colon cells.

BroccoliBroccoli is a cruciferous vegetable, and nearly all cruciferous vegetables, which get their name because their four-petal flowers resemble a cross, or crucifer, are great sources of vitamin C. Broccoli also is a great source of the B vitamin folate as well as potassium. The AICR notes that studies have shown folate helps to maintain healthy DNA and keep cancer-promoting genes inactive. But

men and women should speak with their physicians regarding how much folate to include in their diets, as animal studies have suggested that high amounts of folate may promote development of certain types of cancer, including colon cancer.

CranberriesLike apples, cranberries are high in dietary fiber and vitamin C. Diets high in foods containing vitamin C have been linked to a reduced risk for cancer of the esophagus. In addition, studies have shown that vitamin C protects cells' DNA by trapping free radicals, which can damage the body, and inhibiting the formation of substances called carcinogens, which are capable of causing cancer in living tissue.

LegumesLegumes include kidney and black beans, yellow split peas and red lentils. Dry beans and peas are great sources of fiber and good sources of protein, and each also make excellent sources of folate. In addition to their ability to contribute to the protection of colon cells, legumes also contain various phytochemicals, which researchers feel may decrease chronic inflammation, a risk factor for many cancers. In addition, these phytochemicals may increase the self-destruction of cancer cells.

While there are no magic foods that can guarantee men and women won't one day develop cancer, there are many foods that research has shown are capable of reducing a person's risk of developing this potentially deadly disease. More information on cancer-fighting foods is available at www.aicr.org.

The important role played by physical therapistsAn injury or illness can impact

a person's mobility and ability to perform everyday activities.

While medicine and other treatments can help the situation, physical therapists are often sought to help individuals get back on track.

The American Physical Therapy Association says physical therapists examine each individual patient and develop plans using treatment techniques to promote mobility, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent further disability. In addition, physical therapists work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness- and wellness-oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles.

Physical therapists frequently work with patients' larger medical teams to provide customized care depending on patients' needs. Physical therapists may begin their treatment plans by gathering patients' histories and reviewing any tests and imaging the patients may have had. This information, combined with physical examinations and studies of the injuries or illnesses, will help physical therapists to establish treatment plans for the patients.Men and women who have been told they need physical therapy can heed to the following tips as they look for therapists to work with.

· Get a referral from your primary doctor or orthopedist. With some insurance plans, a referral will be needed for treatment. Otherwise, use your insurance plan's provider directory to find a physical therapist

who accepts your insurance.· Check your insurance benefits to determine how much coverage you have for physical therapy. You may be limited to a certain number of sessions or have no restrictions at all.

· Many physical therapists are board certified in one speciality. They have passed tests and have documented hours treating certain conditions. This can be helpful if you require a pediatric specialists or one who has expertise with the back or neck. Any physical therapist or therapist's assistant should be qualified and licensed.

· Ask if you will be the physical therapist's only patient at an appointment. Some treat one individual at a time while others may see two or three patients at a time.

· Find out who will be treating you. You may be assigned the same therapist each time. If you are getting services at a therapy group, you may have a different therapist for each visit.

· Always ask questions before and after a treatment so you can continue to work on the healing process on your own and so you know which activities are safe, which should change as your treatment progresses.

Physical therapists play an integral role in helping restore patients' mobility and helping them avoid further injury so that patients can maximize their quality of life.

Safe and healthy ways to shed those extra poundsMaintaining a healthy weight is

a great way to avoid sickness and disease. According to

the Obesity Education Initiative, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, as people become overweight and obese, their risk for developing a host of ailments, including coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and hypertension, increases.

But the consequences of being overweight or obese are not only physical. Psychological side effects like anxiety and low self-esteem have been linked to overweight and obesity as well. With such serious consequences linked to being overweight, it's no wonder so many men and women are looking to shed pounds.

As adults embark on their weight loss journeys, they can expect to encounter a host of "miracle" solutions to weight loss that will promise skinnier waistlines seemingly overnight. But the best way to lose weight is to do so safely and nutritiously.

· Avoid short-term diets. Many adults know someone who has experience with a "get-thin-quick" diet that promises to produce slimmer waistlines in a matter of

days or weeks. While such diets might actually be able to deliver on their promises, short-term diets rarely lead to long-term weight loss. When attempting to lose weight, men and women should want to shed pounds and keep those pounds off. Short-term diets may require dieters to make unreasonable sacrifices to produce rapid weight loss. But such sacrifices can rarely be made over the long-haul, and doing so might even be unhealthy. Approach your diet as a long-term commitment that requires a lifestyle change, not temporary and difficult-to-maintain restrictions.

· Eat only when you're hungry. Eating only when you're hungry may sound obvious, but many people eat as an emotional response to difficult situations, while others may eat as a way of dealing with boredom. If you routinely respond to stress by eating, find a healthier way of coping, whether it's going to the gym for a workout or taking the dog for a walk. In addition, don't respond to boredom with food. If boredom is setting in, pick up a book or call a friend and plan an activity together. You may be surprised to learn how much weight you can lose when you limit eating to only those times when you are truly hungry.

· Eat at home. Even though many restaurants now provide calorie information on their menus, dining out does not afford adults the opportunity to control their diets as much as eating at home does, as dieters can control each and every ingredient that goes into their meals when eating at home.

· Don't forget to exercise. A healthy, low-calorie diet is only half the formula to healthy and sustainable weight loss. Adults looking to shed weight also must commit to routine exercise if they want their weight loss to be both healthy and lasting.

Men and women, especially those people who are considerably overweight, should take things slowly at first, gradually committing to more vigorous exercise as they lose weight and their body grows more acclimated to daily exercise.

Losing weight can be difficult, but adults who commit to healthy and nutritious weight loss are more likely to lose weight and keep the weight off than those who look for quick fixes.

INGREDIENTS 1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. sesame oil 2 eggs 1 small head cauliflower 1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables 2 green onions 3 cloves garlic, minced salt and pepper 3 Tbsp. gluten-free Tamari or soy sauce *NOTE: Dish will not be gluten-free if using soy sauce

PREPARATION1. Combine 1 tsp. sesame oil with eggs in a bowl then whisk to com-bine and set aside.

Blood Orange Salmonwith Chickpea & Cucumber Salad

INGREDIENTS 1/4 cup regular all-purpose flour 1 Tbsp.

HARRITY OPTICAL& EYE CENTER

While many people are familiar with the term "migraine headache,"

few may have experienced an ocular migraine. Ocular migraines, sometimes referred to as "eye migraines," are often harmless and may disappear rather quickly.

The organization All About Vision defines ocular migraines as painless, temporary visual disturbances that usually affect one eye. Ocular migraines can be disturbing because of their symptoms. People experiencing ocular migraines may

Get the facts on

ocular migrainesexperience scintillations, or bright flashing lights or flickering. Wavy lines surrounding an enlarging blind spot (scotoma) also can occur. Blind spots may start small but quickly grow bigger and move across one's field of vision.

Sometimes an ocular migraine is accompanied by a migraine headache and certain symptoms, such as light sensitivity and nausea, that are associated with migraine headaches. The National Institutes of Health notes that, if an ocular migraine is accompanied by a headache, the pain from the migraine is often located on the same side of the head as the eye that is experiencing the ocularmigraine.

Migraines in general are not well understood, and the same can be said for ocular migraines. The causes ocular migraines is not exactly known, but it is thought to be related to constricted blood vessels in the eye, possibly in the retina.

The Mayo Clinic says that while visual sensations associated with ocular migraines can induce anxiety and interfere with certain activities, the condition usually is not considered serious and can ease up within 20 to 30 minutes. Some people do not even realize their symptoms may be migraine-related because of the lack of associated headache.

Several more serious conditions can cause similar symptoms to the relatively benign ocular migraine. Men and women who frequently experience visual disturbances

should consult with an expert who can rule out other ailments. Everything from an embolism to tumors of the eye to optic neuropathy may produce symptoms similar to ocular migraines.

If an ocular migraine is a one-time occurrence, sufferers need not worry. However, any vision problems should be investigated fully to determine if any underlying conditions are present and to safeguard against any long-term vision loss.

Do You Suffer From Vertigo? Do you experience a spinning sensation that lasts for a number of seconds when you roll over in bed, get out of bed, when you bend down to put on your shoes, or when you tip your head back to look upward? If so, then you may have benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), also known as positional vertigo. Patients who have positional vertigo may benefit by treatment known as the canalith repositioning procedure (CRP). The procedure takes only a few minutes, and studies have shown that it is effective about 80% of the time in completely resolving positional vertigo.

The cost of CRP is only $20 If you would like to schedule a CRP diagnostic/treatment session, call our office at 627-7759For more information about positional vertigo or other services we offer, please visit our website. All fees are posted on our website.
