Third-Hand Cigarette Smoke: South Forsyth County - Alpharetta-Cumming Residents Ask, "Is It Safe Or Is It Dangerous?"
Posted by Dr. Kurt Meininger at 10:52 AM
South Forsyth County – Alpharetta-Cumming Chiropractor Reports:
As if it wasn’t already bad enough for smokers, now researchers report there is another hazard from smoking that is just as difficult to get rid of.
It’s called "third-hand smoke" and is an invisible gas that clings to smoker’s hair, clothes… and… just about everything smoke comes in contact with. This gas is toxic and lingers long after visible smoke is gone.
According to a January 3, 2009 New York Times article, "The residue includes heavy metals, carcinogens and even radioactive materials that young children can get on their hands and ingest, especially if they’re crawling or playing on the floor."
By now, just about everyone knows that second-hand smoke is bad; but, this new finding makes the situation much worse.
By now, just about everyone knows that second-hand smoke is bad; but, this new finding makes the situation much worse.
Dr. Jonathan P. Winickoff, the lead author of the study and an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, had this to say in the Reuters article: "When their kids are out of the house, [parents] might smoke. Or they smoke in the car. Or they strap the kid in the car seat in the back and crack the window and smoke, and they think it’s okay because the second-hand smoke isn’t getting to their kids" Dr. Winickoff continued. "We needed a term to describe these tobacco toxins that aren’t visible."
It looks like quitting is still the best option.

Weight Gain in South Forsyth County - Alpharetta-Cumming? The Current Bad Economy Could Make You Fat!
Posted by Dr. Kurt Meininger at 10:20 AM
South Forsyth County – Alpharetta-Cumming Chiropractor Reports:
On January 9, 2009, Reuters reported that Americans may start to reduce the amount of money they spend on food. One might think this would lead to weight loss.
On the contrary, experts think this will lead to weight gain. And they point to numerous studies that link obesity and unhealthy eating habits to low income. They surmise as money gets tough, people will cut out more expensive foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables in favor of foods high in saturated fats and sugars.
Adam Drewnowski, the Director of the Nutrition Sciences Program at the University of Washington in Seattle, had this quote in the Reuters article, "In Seattle we have found that there are fivefold differences in obesity rates depending on the zip code -- the low-income zip codes have a much higher proportion of obese people."
The article also stated that "studies in California suggested that a 10 percent rise in poverty translates into about a 6 percent increase in obesity among adults."
Some evidence of all this is already manifesting. McDonald’s, with its high fat and calorie "Dollar Menu", is still doing well. Third quarter profits were actually better than average. Whole Foods (which sells organic, natural and gourmet foods) has seen profits drop with the economy.

What the Reuters article did not mention was exercise. It would be interesting to know if a worsening of the economy translates to people exercising less.
Gym memberships are thought of as a luxury and many people quit exercising when stress increases, even though exercise is one of the first things you should do when stressed out. Exercise is a great stress reliever – not to mention all the other health benefits.
The combination of eating cheaper "junk" food and lack of exercise may not only be a prescription for weight gain – it can be deadly. Eating correctly and exercising should be the LAST things you cut out of your budget.

3 SIMPLE Health Tips So Easy You Won’t Even Realize You’re Doing Them!
Posted by Dr. Kurt Meininger at 11:18 PM
Forsyth County – Alpharetta Chiropractor Comments:
Staying healthy is important. But the sad thing is, most people don’t realize what they’ve got ‘til it’s gone. And, for the most part, staying healthy is not as hard as you probably think. Sure, genetics play a certain role in certain health conditions. But many over-exaggerate and blame "poor genetics" for EVERYTHING.
So, here’s a list of things you can do to help live a better and healthier life that is easy… yet can have a dramatic impact in the long run.
1. Stay as active as possible! At first glance, this may sound hard and/or time consuming. But it’s not. You do not have to go join a gym to simply stay active. Simple things like choosing the stairs instead of the elevator every day at work… or… walking your dog an extra block can do wonders. For example, a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in 2004 found that adding just 30 minutes of walking per day was enough to prevent weight gain and encourage moderate weight loss. And if 30 minutes is still too big a bite, another study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, found three brisk 10-minute walks per day were as effective as a daily 30-minute walk in decreasing risk factors for heart disease. Playing catch with your kids is a great option. Or vacuuming the house an extra time each month. Maybe park far away every time you go to the supermarket. And don’t forget – if you sit all day at work, make sure you are taking frequent breaks to get up, stretch and go for a little walk.
2. Take a Saturday afternoon snooze! No… I’m not kidding! Taking a little nap every now and then is great for stress reduction and charges up your batteries so you can be more productive when you are awake. Research has shown we need more sleep than most people get. If you are tired when you wake up, or run out of gas in the afternoon, you are most likely not getting enough quality sleep. Lack of sleep has serious long-term health repercussions, including many diseases and conditions… not to mention feeling miserable all the time and falling asleep behind the wheel of your car! In some cases, a simple 30-minute nap can make all the difference in the world. And if you don’t think you can find 30 minutes a day… do this…
3. Write down everything to do for a week! Yes… EVERYTHING. Why would you do such a thing? You will understand as soon as you do it. It’s amazing how we ALL waste so much of our time. And just as small things you can do for yourself have HUGE long-term impacts… small changes in time management will literally add YEARS to your life. Heck, cutting 20 minutes of wasted time every day gives you 10 extra hours of productive time, every month. When you write everything down, you will (1) be embarrassed by how much time you actually waste every day, and (2) instantly know what you have to do to find 30 minutes for your nap!!! One more "bonus" thing – if you write down every penny you spend next week – you will really be in for a shock!!! But this can be too painful – which is why I made it a "bonus" and not part of the original list!

Forsyth County – Alpharetta Chiropractor Comments:
The amount of caffeine (about 135 mg) in an 8-oz. cup of coffee is enough to raise your metabolism for more than 2 hours. Drinking coffee before a workout may give you an extra kick. Caffeine may help free stored fat, so your body can burn it for energy as you exercise. (If you have high blood pressure, avoid caffeine before exercise.) Reuters, July 2006.

If You Exercise More And Eat Better - You Might Live Longer!
Posted by Dr. Kurt Meininger at 4:36 PM
Forsyth County – Alpharetta Chiropractor Comments:
The chromosomes of people who exercise more and eat better do not degrade as quickly as people who do not. This suggests a healthy lifestyle may not only lengthen life by helping to stave off disease, but also by slowing the process of aging itself. The effects of aging have been linked to a shortening of chromosome components known as telomeres, which protect the ends of chromosomes and keep the DNA in the middle from being damaged. Over time, telomeres shorten and both cells and DNA become more vulnerable to various forms of damage. This may be one of the primary mechanisms connected to age-related decline. Shorter telomeres have been correlated with an increased risk of both cancer and cardiovascular disease.
It has been found that the telomeres of smokers, the obese and those with sedentary lifestyles tend to be shorter than average. This spurred an investigation if an improvement in lifestyle could be directly connected to telomere protection? Lifestyle changes included a moderate aerobic exercise routine, classes in stress management and relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, a diet high in fruits and vegetables, and supplements of vitamins and fish oil. After lifestyle changes, telomerase activity increases by an average of 29 percent. The level of telomerase increase is also correlated with a decrease in levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and the frequency of intrusive thoughts (a marker of stress).
