What’s you Game Plan for Orthopaedic Health?

Posted on March 22, 2018 by jwatrel

What’s you Game Plan for Orthopaedic Health?

Let New Jersey #1 orthopaedic services program keep you in the game.

Keeping your bones healthy is important no matter what game you choose to play. What you need is a GAMEPLAN.

The Orthopaedic Institute at HackensackUMC wants to share its GAMEPLAN for Orthopaedic Health-ten simple steps that will help you take charge of your health and stay in the game.

As the Healthgrades #1 Hospital in New Jersey for Orthopaedic Services and nationally ranked in orthopaedics by U.S. News &World Report, the Orthopaedic Institute is pushing medicine further than ever before.

To find out how the Orthopaedic Institute at HackensackUMC will help you get back in the game, visit HackensackUMC.org/ortho.

Game Plan for Orthopaedic Health:

  1. Your best offensive is a good defense: Unavoidable risk factors affecting bone health include age, gender, race and family history. There’s nothing you can do to change them but knowing their influence can help you plan a good defense.
  2. Know the signs and signals: If you have concerns speak with you physician about the signs and symptoms of osteoporosis, arthritis or other conditions that affect bone/joint health.
  3. Know your opponent: Using tobacco and drinking soda decrease your body’s ability to absorb calcium and may contribute to weak bones.
  4. Talk to your coach: Your doctor will know if you are at risk and can recommend different exercises, medications and/or lifestyle modifications to reduce that danger.
  5. Fuel for Performance: Strong bones are less injury-prone. However as we age out bones lose strength and mass, becoming thinner and more brittle. Follow a calcium-rich diet to maintain bone mass and decrease your risk of fractures. Make sure to get enough Vitamin D.
  6. Maintain a balanced training regimen: Your exercise regimen should include exercises that increase flexibility and balance, which are key to fall prevention.
  7. Pump Iron: Weight bearing exercises such as walking can help minimize bone loss and prevent fractures. Get clearance from your physician before starting any exercise program.
  8. Wear protective gear: Make sure to wear the proper protective gear when exercising to help prevent injury.
  9. Stay off the Disabled List: Know your limits.
  10. Maintain Good Pre-and Post-Game Practices: Proper warm-up and cool-down routines are important for athletes at any level.

What’s your game plan for a healthy prostate?

Posted on March 22, 2018 by jwatrel

What’s your game plan for a healthy prostate?

Did you know that one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime? Prostate cancer is not only a serious disease but is also a leading cause of cancer death in men.

The good news? There is no question that testing can help find many prostate cancers early but you should talk to your doctor about whether or not you should be tested. He or she will help you develop a plan that best meets your personalized needs.

Prostate cancer is diagnosed through a variety of tests, including a digital rectal exam (DRE) or a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test. According to the American Urological Association, “when interpreted appropriately, the PSA test provides important information in the diagnosis, pre-treatment staging or risk assessment and monitoring of prostate cancer patients. But not all prostate cancers are life-threatening. The decision to proceed to active treatment or use surveillance for a patients prostate cancer is one that men should discuss in detail with their urologists”.

Visit HackensackUMC.org or to find a physician please call (855) 996-WELL (9355) To learn more about our GAMEPLAN for Prostate Health, visit HackensackUMC.org/Prostate. HackensackUMC Urology.

Game Plan for a healthy prostate:

  1. Know the Fundamentals: The prostate is a gland involved with male sexual function and urination. It is the size of a walnut and is located directly under the bladder, in front of the rectum.
  2. Know the state: One in six men in the United States will develop prostate cancer during their lifetime.
  3. Know the score: It is very important to have a regular prostate check with your doctor to make sure there are no abnormal lumps or bumps, possibly indicting the first sign of prostate cancer. In addition, a PSA blood test may detect the presence of prostate cancer. An increase in PSA levels may also be caused by an enlarged or inflamed prostate.
  4. Know the Opponent: There are 3 major health problems associated with the prostate: Prostate enlargement-benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)-Prostatitis-inflammation of the prostate-Prostate cancer
  5. Know your team history: Men with a history of prostate cancer in their family are at higher risk of developing for prostate cancer themselves. Prostate cancer is very rare in men younger than 40 but the chance of having prostate cancer rises rapidly after age 50. In addition, race plays a role in prostate cancer with some men having a higher risk of prostate cancer.
  6. Fuel for Performance: Evidence suggests that choosing a healthy diet, low in fat and full of fruits and vegetables may reduce your risk of prostate cancer.
  7. Stay in Peak Form: Men with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher are considered obese. Being obese increases your risk of prostate cancer.
  8. Prepare a Training Regimen: Studies of exercise and prostate cancer risk have mostly shown that men who exercise may have a reduced risk of prostate cancer.
  9. Talk to your Coach: Some men have an increased risk of prostate cancer. For men with a higher risk of prostate cancer, there may be other options for risk reduction. If you think you might have a higher risk of prostate cancer discuss it with your doctor.

Posted on March 21, 2018 by jwatrel

Young at Heart: Your checklist for better health

Adding healthy habits to your daily routine can help keep you active and strong as you age. To stay young at heart, use the checklist below to create new practices that may help you look and feel good in the years to come. It’s never too late to improve your health!

*Jump start your day with breakfast. Try a high-fiber cereal topped with berries.

*Select nutrient-dense foods. Choose colorful fruits and vegetables, fat-free milk and cheese, whole grains, seafood, lean meats, poultry, eggs, beans, nuts and seeds.

*Get a least 150 minutes of aerobic exercise a week. Walk briskly, bike, swim, hike, play tennis, chase your grand kids, do water aerobics, dance.

*Drink fluids throughout the day even though you may feel less thirsty as you age.

Managing Medications

Posted on March 21, 2018 by jwatrel

Managing Medications: Taking care of your Health

Medications can play a helpful role in your health or the health of a person you are caring for but keeping track of more than one medication can be difficult. When do you take them? Will they interact with each other? Here are some tips that will make managing medication easier.

Keep Track of All types of Medicines!

*Track prescription medication and over-the-counter medicines. Also, track vitamins, supplements, herbs, natural and homeopathic medicines.

*Over-the-counter medicines (like cold medicine and pain relievers) may interact with prescription drugs. Vitamins, supplements and herb can have side effects and interact with other medicines too.

*For safety, tell your health care provider about all medicines. Talk about alcohol or tobacco use too, because they can interact with some medications.

Understand why you need each medicine.

*If you are not sure what a specific medicine is for, ask the doctor or pharmacist.

*Make sure you follow the doctor’s instructions exactly. Don’t stop medicines unless the doctor says to do so.

*Ask what you should do if you miss a dose or take too much.

Use a list or chart for tracking medicines.

*Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a pre-made list or chart or make one yourself.

*Include the drug’s name, how much you take (dose) how often you take it (frequency) and special instructions.

*You can also include a description (for example: small pink pill with letter “H”). Or tape a sample of the medicine to the list or chart.

*Keep the information you get with the medicine. Store it with the chart or in another convenient location.

Take your list of medications to every appointment.

*It is important for every doctor (including eye doctors and dentists) to know all of the medications a patient is taking.

*Take your list to doctor appointments. Put a copy on the refrigerator so it is easy to find in case of an emergency.

*Make sure all family members or caregivers know where the list is kept.

Consider using a calendar or other reminder system.

*A calendar can help you track what to take and at what time.

*Pill organizers and containers can be very helpful for some people.

*Ask your pharmacist or doctor before using pill organizers. They are not advised for some medicines.

Store medicines as directed.

*Some medicines need to be refrigerated. Others should not exposed to air, heat or light. Read the labels or ask your pharmacist.

*Make sure all medicines are out of reach of children and pets.

*Check expiation dates. Order refills with plenty of time so that you don’t run out.

Make sure you understand possible side effects.

*Some medicines should not be mixed with other medicines, alcohol or certain foods.

*As about changes in medications or new  starting a new medication, talk to the doctor or nurse right away.

Ask one doctor (such as a family doctor or internist) to periodically review all medications. Ask if any medicines are no longer needed.

If possible, get your medicines from the same pharmacy. It will easier for the pharmacist to answer your  questions if he or she has a record of all of your medications.

Many people need to take more than one type of medication of their health. Look inside for tips on how to organize and track your medications. If you have questions or concerns about medications you are taking, talk with your doctor, health care provider or pharmacist.
