We at morris health & life abide by a sim-ple mantra: that good health is paramount to a good life. that’s why we fill our pages with a plethora of wellness advice, tips and tidbits—so that you, our readers, can maxi-mize the quality of your own health, and thus enjoy all the wonders of morris County to their fullest.

this issue, we make that mission our dedicated focus—and like any good lesson, we start with an “abC” primer: in “Great Health, a to Z!” on page 22, you’ll find info on 26 different subjects, covering a broad range of health concerns. From antioxidants to “zzz’s,” we’ve got take-home tips for everyone.

We narrow our scope in “Waiting to exhale,” where we examine a bodily function each of us performs some 20,000 times each day: breathing. With so much practice under our belts, you’d think we’d all be masters of this daily ritual. but research has shown that many of us are breath-ing too quickly and shallowly—and that it’s taking its toll on our health. turn to page 19 for advice on getting it right, and for some surprising facts about the benefits proper res-piration can yield.

your kids’ nutrition is the focus of the quiz on page 34, where we challenge you to “test your Lunch-box iQ.” From snacks to sandwiches, we ask you to select the healthier option for students’ midday meals. are you lunch-smart?

if you’ve been watching your own eating habits and willing the scale to budge, you’ll appreciate the article on page 30. there we tell you why your body-fat percentage—not your weight—is the optimal way to measure your health risks. We also run down six different methods that provide this information—and the pros and cons of each.

Of course, as the headline at the top of this page im-plies, in this issue we’re also striving to help you look your best. to that end, we present “Natural beauty” on page 14, where we share our favorite organic and earth-centric hair- and skin-care finds, and “beauty bargains” on page 32, where seven local pros dish on their favorite under-$20 products.

With this issue in hand, we know you’ll be well-armed to enjoy a very healthy, happy autumn full of morris County delights!

Help for the Seriously Overweight

To successfully lose weight

and keep it off, you not only

need the right tools but also

the right support. Gastric

bypass and gastric banding

are two surgical procedures

available for those who cannot

lose or maintain their weights

on their own. In addition, the

Metabolic Medicine and Weight

Control Center at Morristown

Memorial Hospital performs

laproscopic gastric bypass

and laproscopic gastric

banding. Both help stop the

weight-loss roller-coaster,

alleviating or resolving related

health problems such as

heart disease, hypertension,

diabetes, depression,

migraines, sleep apnea, joint

disease and infertility.

Deborah Abeles, M.D.,

recently joined our practice

after completing a bariatric

fellowship with Tufts Medical

Center in Boston. She brings

fresh medical perspectives and

performs the new incisionless

ROSE procedure for revision of

previously failed bypass surgery.

This new technique is safer,

results in minimal pain and a

faster recovery for the patient.

Patients also need a strong

support system to be

successful. To help patients

achieve and maintain a

healthy weight loss, the center

provides the necessary tools

and supportfrom metabolic

specialists, nutritionists,

exercise physiologists,

dietitians, mental health

clinicians and support group

meetings—whether patients

need to lose 10 pounds or 200

pounds or more.

your local guide to trends, treasures, people & well-kept secrets

Morris M i X

Looking for a little autumn pick-me-up? Get one—literally—on a local

hayride! At the 365-acre ALSTEDE FARMS in Chester (908-879-7189,

www.alstedefarms.com), for instance, you can enjoy fall’s breathtaking foli-

age aboard a hay wagon shuttle, then stock up on pumpkins, red raspberries,

apples, Indian corn and more that you can pick yourself. Rides are offered

daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. through October 31 and on weekends from

11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in November. Basic admission is free on Tuesdays and

Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and $5 per person other times (this fee

includes a hayride plus a $3 coupon off of produce you pick). You can also

purchase day passes to enjoy the farm’s many other attractions, including

pony rides and a corn maze (prices vary).

The free weekend hayrides at HAMILTON FARMS in Boonton Town-

ship (973-334-6528, www.hamiltonfarms.com), available 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on

Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays in October, take you to a pick-

your-own pumpkin patch (pumpkins sold separately) and offer up-close

views of farm animals galore, including sheep, pigs and chickens. Weekday

hayrides are available for private parties only and include a pumpkin ($7

for kids, $5 for adults).

STONY HILL FARM MARKET in Chester (908-879-2908, www.stony

hillgardens.com) also offers weekend hayrides ($1 per person) into its

pumpkin fields (pumpkins priced per pound), available 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

from September 25 through the last weekend in October. After your ride,

meander through the farm’s impressive Maze Fun Park, featuring corn

mazes, fence mazes, rope mazes and more, open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily

($10 for kids, $12 for adults). —Kristin Colella

Hay Day

Cupcakes galorecupcakes continue their unstoppable march

across the american palate. luckily Madison

residents now have a handy way to indulge

in this national obsession: HeY CUPCaKe! (973-377-4422), which opened in May to

near-instant success. “we get a big rush

after school, we get the crowds from the

nearby colleges, we get people from local

offices,” says owner Bridget crowley of her

bustling shop.

the chocolate-brown and strawberry-

pink store offers at least 10 fresh-baked

varieties every day. crowley loves to

dream up new flavors with her kids (recent

standouts were raspberry Beret—raspberry

icing over chocolate cake—and a chocolate

ganache–covered cupcake patterned after

the Hostess kind). prices range from $1.25

for mini-cupcakes (“we sell a lot of those,

especially to moms,” says crowley) to $2.50;

oversize brownies and cinnamon buns cost

a bit more. among the seasonal flavors this

fall, look for apple pie cupcakes (featuring

apple pie filling, a sprinkling of cinnamon

and a drizzle of caramel).

it’s almost enough to make home

bakers hesitate before whipping up their

own varieties—but crowley insists you

needn’t be intimidated: “kids will

love anything home-baked,

especially if they helped

make it!” she offers one

sure-to-please tip: “try

putting colorful sprinkles

in vanilla cake batter,

and then sprinkle them

liberally on vanilla

frosting. we call that

our Birthday cake

cupcake,

and i can’t

believe

how many

we sell!” —Lee Lusardi Connor

A walk in the stAlksto exercise mind and body alike, check out the multiple mazes at WIGHTMAN’S FARMS

in Morristown (973-425-9819, www.wight mansfarms.com). each year Wightman’s commissions an elaborate design that is cut

into a 2½-acre cornfield. this year’s theme, Island Adventure, lets maze-solvers work their way through an island, a sun and a palm tree—with the help of strategically placed clues.

“It’s intimidating when you first look at it—you think, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m totally going to get lost in there,’” says regular visi-tor Jane Zielenbach. “But it’s fun—kids love trying to guess the clues, running around, finding a dead end and having to try another way.” the maze is $8 per person and open

saturdays and sundays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.so popular are the puzzles that Wight-

man’s has added smaller mazes, made of rope, stone, pavers and small and giant hay bales, re-

spectively. “Our mazes are mind-benders,” says foreman Adam Costello. “You follow the rules and see if you can get to the end.” —LLC

Where the hawks areRight now, raptors of all kinds (falcons, Cooper’s Hawks,

bald eagles) are migrating south for the winter. And

Rockaway Township boasts one of the best places in the

state to see them: the HAWk WATCH AT WildCAT Ridge (www.wcrhawkwatch.com/kiosk.html), a 3,700-

acre protected wildlife management area on a 1,025-foot

overlook with a spectacular 180-degree view. There

you’re likely to find volunteers from Friends

of Wildcat Ridge (www.wcrhawkwatch.

com), whose goal is to keep ’round-the-

clock vigil so they can get a count of

the raptors that soar by during migra-

tion season. (On their best day ever, they

counted 6,000 broadwing hawks.)

To spot these feathered friends for

yourself, head up to the ridge with sturdy

shoes and binoculars—a volunteer will be

glad to give you pointers. “We love to

have people come up,” says volunteer

dorie Cappiello, a West Orange veterinar-

ian, “and we’re always looking for people to

help us with the count.” —LLC

Shop pink!look good, feel good, do good—you can accomplish all three in one fell swoop this October by purchasing a vari-ety of products sold in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. here are a few of our favorites:

From handbags to eyeglass cases to wristlets, you’ll find a host of brightly colored accessories in Vera Bradley’s hope Garden collection, sold at The Depot in Morris-town (973-425-4080, www.depotgift.com). the items fea-ture a fun, whimsical floral pattern, and 10 percent of the proceeds benefit the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer, as well as other breast cancer projects and services.

sweet and dainty, the hope collection from Papy-rus in Chester (908-879-5775, www.papyrusonline.com) includes pink stationery and writing accessories, such as the pink poppy note-card-and-pen set for $19.95. A portion of proceeds from each item will go to the Breast Cancer Re-search Foundation.

You’ll be charmed, indeed, by the chic key to Your heart Cluster Pendant Necklace by Carolee ($75), sold at Bloomingdale’s at the Mall at short hills (973-548-

2200, www.bloomingdales.com) and online at www.car-olee.com. the necklace features a 30-inch gold-tone

chain with a 6-inch drop adorned with a variety of fun charms; 10 percent of sales are donated

to the Breast Cancer Research Founda-tion. —KC

DiD you know that in a 24-hour Day you take in and release air some 20,000 times? Breathing is something we do without even being aware of it. But practitioners of the Eastern arts of yoga and tai chi have long insisted that a few moments of conscious, deliber-ate breathing daily can be a health boon—and western science is starting to agree.

“Breath can definitely be used as a tool to en-hance health,” says Victoria Maizes, M.D., executive director of the arizona Center for integrative Medicine, founded by wellness guru andrew weil, M.D. “we now know that by slowing and deepening our breathing we can promote relaxation and affect our physiology in nu-merous beneficial ways,” she says.

Breathe MRR_0510_v5jrREV2.indd 2 9/7/10 11:00 AM

as the doctor explains, most people habitually inhale with only the tops of their lungs, never utilizing the dia-phragm. this does not allow enough fresh oxygen to enter cells and circulate through the body. Shallow respiration also means that carbon dioxide isn’t properly expelled, low-ering resistance to disease.

we fare better if for at least a few minutes each day we take in oxygen slowly, methodically and belly-deep— evidence suggests doing so can improve health in several ways:

• Beating stress and anxiety. “if you’re feeling stressed, taking a few deep breaths makes you breathe slower and helps your muscles relax,” says the u.S. Department of health and human Services. Conscious abdominal breath-ing also slows heart rates and stops adrenal glands from producing the stress hormone known as cortisol. this may be helpful to future health in ways that aren’t yet fully proved. Says Dr. Maizes: “Some experts even suggest a link between chronic stress and alzheimer’s disease.”

Breath work is also used to calm victims of post- traumatic stress disorder and people in the grip of phobias. in a 2008 study in the Journal of Psychiatric Research, 37 peo-ple with longstanding panic disorders were given a biofeed-back device to slow and regulate their breathing. For more than two-thirds of them, panic attacks ceased.

• Lowering blood pressure. rESPeratE, an FDa-approved portable electronic device, uses chest sensors to analyze a patient’s specific breathing pattern and then cre-ate a personalized “melody” that gradually helps them slow that pattern down from the 14 to 19 breaths per minute

most of us normally take into a “therapeutic zone” of less than 10 beats per minute. it’s been proven that breathing in sync with that slow tune can significantly lower high blood pressure for a time—without drugs.

• Improving digestion. heartburn or upset stomach? Deep breathing may help here too, says Dr. Maizes, because the body can only digest food properly when the nervous system is at rest. “if you can activate a relaxation response through deep breathing,” the doctor contends, “you’ll al-leviate the shooting aches of indigestion.”

• Treating debilitating lung conditions. People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (CoPD), bronchi-tis, asthma and emphysema can’t take breathing for granted as the rest of us do. For them, diaphragmatic breathing is important to improve oxygen saturation. Because of the respiratory limits imposed by CoPD, deep breathing isn’t intuitive, but when patients are trained to do it, says Dr. Maizes, they can strengthen their breathing muscles and feel better.

• Easing menopausal hot flashes. in recent studies, says the doctor, expansive diaphragmatic breathing “has been shown to help shorten hot flashes and reduce their intensity.” accordingly, the u.S. national institute on aging now rec-ommends trying relaxation breathing “if you feel a hot flash coming on or if you need to relax before falling asleep.”

“until recently our culture hasn’t put much empha-sis on teaching proper breathing techniques, which can help in many wonderful ways,” says Dr. Maizes. “Fortu-nately, that’s changing.” n

‘Belly-deep’ Breathing: a how-to “I use a practice called the 4-7-8 breath, which I learned years ago from dr. An-

drew weil,” says victoria Maizes, M.d., executive director of the Arizona center

for Integrative Medicine. Here’s how it’s done:

• Start by resting your tongue on the roof of your mouth, near the ridge behind your upper front teeth. Exhale fully.

• Inhale through your nose to the count of four. Hold your breath to the count of seven.

• Exhale with your mouth slightly open, tongue held in the same position,

to the count of eight. Your breath should make a whooshing sound.

“do this four times in a row, twice each day, and I guarantee it will pro-

foundly affect your life,” promises dr. Maizes.

3 MORE BREATHING TECHNIQUES

1 The bellows breath: Need an afternoon pick-me-

up? This stimulating technique is a great substitute

for a second cup of coffee, says victoria Maizes, M.d.,

executive director of the Arizona center for Integra-

tive Medicine. Sit upright with your mouth closed. begin

breathing in and out of your nose as quickly as possible.

You should hear a panting sound. do this for 10 to 30

seconds at a time—but never exceed one minute, or

you may hyperventilate.

2 The runner’s breath: “what moves you when run-

ning is your ability to deliver oxygen to your muscle

cells,” says Stephen rice, M.d., a sports medicine specialist

based in Neptune. “If the blood is not oxygenated you have

to do more work, and you waste a lot of fuel.”

To keep airways from constricting, breathe through the

nose instead of the mouth. Oxygen should also come from

the diaphragm rather than the chest, so always take deep

belly inhalations in which you can feel the abdomen expand.

3 The yogic breath: “Yoga teaches many styles of

breathing, but there is one simple method I fi nd

especially useful for obtaining a deep sense of well-

being,” says yoga guru Georgia balligian, an instructor

at bikram Yoga NYc. “Sit with your legs crossed, hands

relaxed at your sides. Inhale slowly through your nose,

fi lling lungs to the maximum. Then exhale slowly, also

through your nose. The point of this exercise is to con-

nect your mind with your breath, so try to let go of any

worries, thoughts or plans. You’ll feel great—and because

oxygen is good for the skin, doing this regularly will help

your complexion look great too!”

to

“A is for Apple” beGins mAny kids’ books, while a popular saying credits daily use of this A-fruit with “keeping the doctor away.” but what if all 26 letters climbed aboard the band-wagon of good health? That question inspired Morris Health & Life to do a bit of research into the latest health findings. The re-sult: the good-health alphabet you’ll find on the next few pages.

2 2 / o C t o b e r 2 0 1 0

AtoZ_MRR0510_v6.kkREV2.indd 28 9/7/10 6:31 PM

Antioxidants: They battle “free radicals”

that can damage cells. Consider, for instance,

the antioxidant curcumin, which helps give

the spice turmeric (used in many Indian

dishes) its yellow color. Recent research suggests that cur-

cumin has anti-cancer properties and may help prevent

fibroids, painful joints and other ills. (Score one for Indian

Ayurvedic medicine, which has used turmeric for 4,000

years.) Other antioxidant-rich foods include beans, berries,

apples and artichoke hearts.continued


Fructose: Is high-fructose corn syrup re-

ally worse than other sugars? “So far, research has yielded conflicting

results,” says the Mayo Clinic. The problem, many experts say, is that this product is everywhere: The ultra-low cost and ubiquity of high-fructose corn syrup may encourage overconsumption and contribute to obesity. So watch for it on ingredient lists and go easy!

GERD: Think acid reflux and heartburn and you’ve got the gist

of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Most adults have experienced it, but if it becomes excessive or dis-tressing, it’s time to seek help. Left unchecked, chronic GERD can alter the lining of the esophagus and increase cancer risk. Lifestyle changes are the simplest preven-tive: Keep your weight down, don’t smoke, be sparing with alcohol and spicy foods, and keep clothes and belts comfortably loose.

Heart: When a heart stops suddenly, cardiopulmonary re-

suscitation (CPR) can often start it again. A recent study found that chest compression alone is as effective as compression plus mouth-to-mouth re-

suscitation in reviving patients with sus-pected cardiac arrest.

Internet: Five to 10 percent of Internet users are overly de-

pendent on the medium, researchers have found. With roughly 203 million active Web users in the U.S., that means that at least 10 million people are to some degree “hooked”—thereby risking eyestrain and miss-ing beneficial fresh air, exercise and socializing. Is it time for your family to institute computer- free Sundays?

Bad breath: Don’t let halitosis—bad breath—sour your eating, talking and kissing! We all know that

onions, garlic, tobacco and bad oral hygiene can cause the problem. But if you already avoid these and still suffer, you

should know that medications, infections, gas-trointestinal disturbances and even diets

can also be the culprit, the American Dental Association reports. If you have halitosis and have had no luck in ditching it yourself, your dentist can help you explore possible causes

and find a solution.

Community: As our urban and suburban lives have grown busier, the number of Americans who say

they lack close friends has tripled. A recent analysis of 148 studies involving more than 300,000 people found that those with the strongest social ties tended to live longer. So pick up the phone, send that e-mail or even drop by next door for a visit.

Diabetes: This condition—which hikes the risk of life-threatening cardiovascular illness—usually

begins with insulin resistance, a disorder that prevents the body from fully utilizing the hormone insulin. But pro-gression to diabetes is not inevitable. Weight loss and regu-lar physical activity can help delay, prevent or even reverse diabetes, possibly returning blood glucose levels to normal. In one diabetes prevention program, lifestyle changes such as these reduced the risk of diabetes by 58 percent over three years.

Exercise: Not a track star or a gym rat? Don’t

worry—even regular walk-ing can have a positive effect on health. In one study of previously sedentary adults, a 12-week program of walk-

ing 10,000 steps daily significantly improved

post-exercise heart rate and total choles-

terol. It also had a positive effect on fitness and flexibility.

Jumping rope: Those girls on the

playground were onto something. This ac-

tivity is excellent exercise—good for bone

density, aerobic capacity and coordination, it

can pack a wallop of health benefits into a few min-

utes. Jumping rope nonstop for 10 minutes at 120

revolutions per minute, says the Jump Rope Insti-

tute, provides the same benefits as playing two sets

of singles tennis or jogging for 30 minutes. (Neo-

phytes may wish to begin slowly and build up.)

Knees: A knee is a terrible thing to waste. If you perform an activity (running, for example) that

puts wear and tear on knees, protect them with cross-training—switch off to biking or swimming some days, suggests orthopedic surgeon John Hurley, M.D., of Mor-ristown’s Summit Medical Group. And keep your weight under control, as even a few extra pounds can put danger-ous stress on these joints over time.

Liver: Drugs can cause trouble here, and we don’t mean just street drugs. A recent study found that

acetaminophen (Tylenol) caused elevated liver enzymes after only 10 days’ use at the maximum dosage (4 grams a day) in nondrinkers. Participants had no symptoms of liver damage, but the elevated enzymes indicated that their livers had already been affected.

Music: Want to get the most out

of your workouts? Load up your iPod! Many of us already know that upbeat tunes make ex-ercise time seem to go faster. But research

also indicates that they help improve your perfor-

mance. One study from the University of Cumbria found that partici-

pants who listened to “fast” or “moderately fast” music showed significantly higher in-tensity in their workouts than those who listened to “slow” tunes or no music at all. Aim for songs of at least 120 beats per minute, such as “Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen or “Mr. Bright-side” by the Killers, both 150 bpm.

Nutrition: Getting this right when

you’re not home has al-ways been a challenge. Will that diner grilled-cheese sandwich put you over your daily calorie limit? Now, hap-pily, there are apps—like

Lose It!—that put calorie counts and other nutritional facts as close as your cell phone.

Obesity: Need extra motivation to help your daughters eat right and stay trim? A recent study

found obese girls as young as 7 and 8 were developing breast tissue—probably because body fat produces hormones. And the additional years of exposure to estrogen and progesterone could increase their lifetime risk of breast cancer.

Pets: Mounting evidence says your furry friends are

good for you. A Japanese study found that dog owners were significantly more active than petless folk; other research links having a pet with reduced heart-disease risk. Mental health, too, is affected— a study by the HMO Kaiser Permanente Northwest of 177 people recovering from serious mental

illness found that pets helped by providing

emotional support and “strengthen-ing their sense of empowerment.”

Quitting: You’ve heard it before, but it bears repeating: If you’re

still a smoker, kicking the habit is the best single thing you can do to avert cancer, emphysema and

heart disease and add length and quality to your life. Then there’s the money: Smoking a pack a day burns up at least $2,000 yearly—that’s a nice vacation. Need help? Try NJ.quitnet.com, a site vis-ited regularly by some 60,000 smokers and ex-smokers, who share tips and support.

R elaxation: The Mayo Clinic

says it “decreases the wear and tear

on your mind and body from the

challenges and hassles of daily life.”

By truly relaxing, you can slow your

heart rate, lower blood pressure, increase blood flow to ma-

jor muscles, reduce chronic pain, improve concentration

and reduce anger. Among the best relaxation techniques is

visualization: Picture yourself on a serene beach, imagining

the sound of the waves, the scent of sea-salt, the warmth of

the sun. (No sunscreen needed!) continued



Superstition: Embarrassed that you can’t go to a business meeting without your lucky pen? Don’t be!

Now there’s evidence that following such superstitious “musts” really does enhance performance. In a study, acti-vating “good luck” with a special ritual—like crossing your fingers—helped people play golf and unravel anagrams better and enhance performance on memory and motor-dexterity tests. Researchers speculate that heeding the superstition boosted confidence in the task at hand.

Tea: Evidence suggests that green tea can reduce

LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, burn fat, reduce the risk of breast and other cancers and ease depression. But tea needn’t be green to be good for you—a recent Dutch study linked regular black-

tea consumption with re-duced stroke risk.

Ultraviolet light: Until recently, ultraviolet-B light was considered the major skin-cancer cul-

prit, but we now know that UV-A is also problematic. Both UV-A and UV-B destroy vitamin A in the skin, but SPF labels on sunscreens refer only to UV-B, says Morristown dermatologist Robert Marinaro, M.D. Happily, some sunscreens do protect against UV-A: Look for products that contain ecamsule, titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, Dr. Marinaro recom-mends. Be sure to apply liberally—and often.

Vitamin D: It’s not just teeth and bones that use this bodily building

block—every tissue has a receptor for it. With-out adequate D, the risk of colon, breast and prostate cancers rises, along with blood pres-sure and the chances of cardiovascular dis-ease or osteoarthritis. Vitamin D is absorbed through the skin from sunlight. But since too much sun can be dangerous, many experts recommend taking a supplement of 1,000 to 2,000 units of vitamin D daily.

Water: We’re about 60 percent water by body

weight, but the amount we need to drink daily to stay properly hydrated varies by individual, weather,

exertion level—and which expert you ask. “In gen-

eral, doctors recommend eight or nine cups” for the average healthy adult in a temperate climate, says the Mayo Clinic. And don’t skimp: If your kidneys are healthy, it’s virtually impossible to drink too much water, but one study of 17 distance runners found that even a modest deficit in hydration impaired performance.

X-rays: While the radiation you

get in a diagnostic X-ray is usually not a cause for concern, a new study from Seat-tle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center suggests it’s prudent to limit tests to what’s truly

needed. Researchers found that low-dose diagnostic X-rays did slightly increase chromosome damage— specifically, “translocations” (rearrangements of chromo-

some parts), which can slightly increase cancer risk. When getting a scan (especially for a child) ask if your hospital aims for “ALARA”—levels “as low as reason-

ably achievable”—in using ionizing radiation.

YouTube: Want to get fit but don’t know where to start? Head to your computer!

Visit YouTube and search on your area of interest. There, you’ll find videos on

how to properly hold a ten-nis racket (www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aIQcVZX_ A8), how to run with cor-rect form (www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UIDErK5ARA),

Zzzz’s: Can snoozing

keep you thin? Getting

enough sleep does help.

In one study, people who

slept 6 hours a night were

23 percent more likely to be obese than those

who slept 7 or more hours. Those with just

5 hours of slumber were 50 percent more apt

to be obese; for 4-hours-or-less sleepers the

difference was 73 percent. One reason? Hor-

mones. Leptin, which tells your brain to stop

eating, declines in people who sleep fewer

hours, while the hormone ghrelin, which

tells your brain to keep eating, rises as you’re

awake longer. n

EvEr look at thE scalE and rEason, “MaybE I’m just big boned?”

the truth is, weight by itself is an imperfect measure of what shape you’re in. to truly gauge your health risks, you need to know your body fat.

“Fat is your predictor of mortality, and it needs to be measured directly,” says Eric braverman, M.d., author of Younger (Thinner) You Diet. “the average person loses 15 years by being obese.”

that’s a pretty hefty figure, especially considering america’s rising obesity rate: From 2007 to 2009, that rate jumped from 25.6 percent to 26.7 percent. but with so many methods that purport to help you figure out how much fat is on your frame, how can you separate the bull from the bona-fide? here’s the skinny on several techniques:

Body Mass Index (BMI)What it is: a simple formula (weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, or kg/m2) evaluates your weight relative to your height. In general, the higher your bMI, the more body fat you’re likely to have. to find out yours, head to www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi.Is it accurate? Well, not exactly, since it doesn’t factor in a person’s muscle mass. take lean, well-trained athletes, for example: their weight may force their bMI up into the overweight or obese range, even though they carry very little fat. but the flip side, says dr. braverman, is even more dis-concerting: “Most americans are more out-of-shape than their bMI suggests. It may fall into the normal range de-spite extra flab.”What should you shoot for? normal bMIs range from 18.5 to 24.9 for both men and women; overweight ranges from 25 to 29.9; and a bMI above 30 indicates obesity.

WaIst cIrcuMferenceWhat it is: a standard-issue tape measure is used to mea-sure your waist size—the higher the number, the bigger your belly. Why it matters: Excess abdominal fat is proven to put folks at greater risk for type 2 diabetes, high blood pres-sure, high cholesterol, coronary artery disease and more.Is it accurate? yes—provided you don’t cheat. so no suck-ing in your stomach or pulling the tape too tightly. sim-ply measure around your bare belly, right above the navel, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.What should you shoot for? More than 40 inches puts men at higher-than-average risk for developing obesity- related illness; for nonpregnant women, the threshold is 35.

skIn-fold MeasureMentsWhat they are: calipers are used to measure the thick-ness of skin folds on three to seven areas of the body, such as upper arm, belly and thigh. the measurements are then plugged into a formula to calculate body-fat percent-age. (Find detailed instructions plus the fat-percentage calculator at www.brianmac.co.uk/fatyuhasz.htm.)Are they accurate? sure … if you’re pinching the right spots at the right time and in the proper way, if you’re not very overweight and if you record the measurements within five seconds. It helps to be a contortionist. In short, skin-fold measurement requires precision that can be difficult to achieve by oneself.What should you shoot for? see the chart for ideal body-fat percentages.

BIoelectrIcal IMpedance analysIs (BIa)What it is: to measure your body-fat percentage, a device assesses the flow of a harmless electrical current through your body. (some bathroom scales will do this analysis for you.) Electricity meets more resistance from fat than from muscle, so the faster the current travels, the leaner you are.Is it accurate? More or less. Factors such as hydration, skin temperature, time of day, your most recent meal and recent

physical activity can affect the reading. so if you just drank wa-ter, hit the gym or ate a big Mac, don’t count on it. but used weekly, at the same time of day, it can be a useful guide. (note: this method is off-limits for people with pacemakers.)What should you shoot for? see the chart for ideal body-fat percentages.

HydrostatIc WeIgHIng (or Hydrodensitometry)What it is: Underwater weighing! you enter a tank and a technician calculates your body density by measuring the amount of water you displace. he or she inserts the info into a formula to derive your body-fat percentage.Is it accurate? yes, but the tanks can be hard to find and expen-sive to use. check out local universities and high-tech gyms.What should you shoot for? see the chart for ideal body-fat percentages.

dual-energy x-ray aBsorptIoMetry (dexa) What it is: a whole-body scan using low-dose X-rays that shows the body’s fat (along with bone and muscle) and where it’s deposited. (It’s the same machine used to test bone density.)Is it accurate? very. In fact, it’s now considered the gold standard in body composition analysis. “ask your doctor to prescribe it,” says dr. braverman, who recommends having “your body fat measured at least as often as your cholesterol.”What should you shoot for? see the chart for ideal body-fat percentages. n

What’s this about neck measurements?

You may have heard about a recent study finding that neck girth may be a good supplement to BMI, especially for children. Why the neck rather than the waist? Experts say figuring out exactly where the waist is may not be as obvious as it seems. The jury’s still out on this one, so if you’re going to rely on a tape measure, stick to your waist for now.

As kids head back to school, a large part of their nutri-

tional day is entrusted to whatever you pack in that iCarly

or SpongeBob lunch box—so choose wisely. But how savvy

are you really when it comes to lunchtime nourishment?

Each of the questions on the opposite page pairs two

lunch-box alternatives. Your task: Decide which option, all

things considered, is better for your youngster.

1. A sandwich of (a) smoked turkey or (b) low-sodium ham?

2. A snack of (a) white corn tortilla chips or (b) unsalted pretzels?

3. (a) Light mayonnaise or (b) mustard?

4. (a) Whipped cream cheese or (b) light cream cheese?

5. (a) An apple or (b) an orange?

6. (a) Skim milk or (b) 100 percent fruit juice?

7. (a) Processed American cheese food or (b) deli-sliced provolone?

8. (a) A tuna salad sandwich or (b) peanut-butter-and-jelly?

9. (a) White bread or (b) whole-wheat bread?

10. (a) a 1.5-ounce box of raisins or (b) a banana?

1. (a) pick the turkey. The poultry beats the pig in terms of protein (29.3 grams versus 22.3), fat (5 grams versus 8.3) and calories (162 versus 172). in terms of salt, low-sodium ham has only a bit less sodium than turkey (969 milligrams versus 996 in a 100-gram portion).

2. (b) pretzels are the big winner here. Though tortilla chips are better than many potato chips, an ounce checks in at 137 calories and 6 grams of fat. The same amount of pretzels has 108 calories and less than 1 gram of fat. These pretzels win on sodium too—82 milligrams versus 118. (if regular pretzels are your choice instead, the call is less clear, as their other advan-tages must be balanced against a whopping 385 milligrams of sodium.)

3. (b) Choose the mustard. Even low-fat mayo (1 tablespoon) has 49 calories, 5 grams of fat, 101 milligrams of sodium and 5 milligrams of cho-lesterol. The same amount of plain yellow mustard, on the other hand, has just 9 calories, 0.2 grams fat, 57 milligrams sodium and no cholesterol.

4. (b) if your kids like a smear, make it light, though neither of these is particularly healthy. a tablespoon of whipped cream cheese: 35 calories, 3.5 grams fat. light: 30 calories, 2.3 grams fat.

5. (b) The orange wins this battle of the titans. Either fruit is a fine addi-tion to your child’s lunch, as both boast a variety of nutrients and lots of beneficial antioxidants. But while a medium-sized apple (3-inch diameter) has 4.4 grams of dietary fiber, beating the 3.1 grams of a medium orange (23/8-inch), the orange is preferable for calories (62 versus the apple’s 95), and contains a whopping 69.7 milligrams of vitamin C, compared with the apple’s 8.4.

6. (a) pack milk, which has 10 times as much calcium as your typical apple/grape-blend fruit juice. and then add an apple and some grapes, as the

american academy of pediatrics advises that fruit be eaten, not consumed in juice form.

7. (b) Keep it real. True, those slices in their separate plastic wrappers have slightly fewer calories than the provolone (94, compared to 100 per ounce) and less fat (7.14 grams versus 7.55). But they also have less protein (5.22 grams versus 7.25) and calcium (162 milligrams versus 214)—and most U.s. kids are deficient in this bone-building mineral. Thus, a judicious use of real cheese can be an important part of your child’s diet. plus, it tastes a whole lot better!

8. (a) it’s the tuna, though each has its pros and cons. Three ounces of tuna salad has more calories (342 versus 244) and sodium (342 milligrams versus 147) than 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of jelly. But pB&J has twice the fat (16 grams versus 8) and three times the sugar (10 grams versus 3). Why is tuna the champ? it wins on protein, 14 grams versus 8, and has heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids too.

9. (b) Use the wheat. The two are nearly identical in terms of calories, fat, sodium and cholesterol. however, each whole-grain slice has twice the protein and three times the fiber of its paler cousin. Those nutrients are contained in the grain kernel, which is stripped away to make white bread.

10. (b) Choose the banana. Raisins are a healthy, energy-boosting snack, but they’re definitely “second banana” here. a medium-sized banana delivers 422 milligrams of potassium with 14.43 grams of sugars—as opposed to the 322 grams of potassium your child gets with the raisins along with 25.45 grams of sugars. and it’s a wipeout when it comes to brain-boosting niacin: The banana has 0.785 milligrams, while the raisins come in at just under 0.329 milligrams.

Choosing healthy food isn’t enough—

you also have to keep lunches safe.

According to The Nemours Founda-

tion, fewer than one-third of parents

include a cold pack with foods that

need refrigeration. Follow these

guidelines to protect kids’ lunches:

• Store hot foods in a thermos.

• Use cold packs or freeze some foods and drinks

overnight and let them thaw in the lunch box.

• Wash lunch boxes daily or use brown paper bags.

• Add moist towelettes to remind kids to wash their

hands before and after eating.

Forget blAck leAther couches, shiny chrome and giant flat-screen tVs. When bachelor Doug Falcone set about designing his new-construction center-hall colonial in new Vernon, the busy executive bypassed stereotypical “bachelor pad” accoutrements in favor of a more classic aesthetic.

“i wanted the design to be timeless—not trendy and ‘in today, out tomorrow,’” says Falcone. “And i didn’t want the home to be a showpiece, but instead to feel warm and livable.”

to achieve that style, Falcone enlisted old friend ginny Zonfrilli of VhZ Design group in south orange, who had designed his former house in harding and sev-eral of his parents’ properties over the past 20-plus years. “ginny knows my tastes and was involved every step of the way, from the time we first got the building plans,” says Falcone. “she helped me pick out every detail, from the colors, moldings and wall coverings right down to the tiles and faucets.”

the designer also gave the home a much-needed “woman’s touch”: though living alone and not yet engaged

boasts a 60-inch Viking range, an expansive granite-topped

island and a butler’s pantry that serves as wine storage.

at the time, Falcone kept his now-fiancée, sheri brennan, in mind when making his design decisions. “ginny helped create a nice balance between masculinity and femininity,” he says.

in the stylish kitchen, for instance, a commanding dark-stained, granite-topped cherry island more than 10 feet long is offset by cabinets painted soft white. the large island was an important requirement for Falcone, who was previously chef-owner of Morristown restaurants the Polo club and café beethoven. (he’s now coo of a cherry hill–based business.)

“Doug frequently entertains large groups of friends and businesspeople, so the island allows for plenty of prep space, plus seating for guests to hang out while he’s cook-ing,” says Zonfrilli. “because of his interest in cooking and entertaining, the kitchen is really the core of the house.”

Above the 60-inch Viking range and around the perimeter of the kitchen, a backsplash featuring an array of porcelain tiles from Mediterranean tile in shades of gold, honey-amber, beige and green adds visual interest.

other chic kitchen features include a Viking refrigera-tor and freezer, a walk-in pantry with a frosted glass door, a pot filler attached to the backsplash, an under-counter mi-crowave, an iron pot rack equipped with halogen lighting and handmade oriental rugs. A butler’s pantry just out-side the kitchen serves as storage space for wine glasses and bottles aplenty, thanks to a dark-stained cherry wine rack and cabinets.

Anchored by a two-sided stone fireplace, the rustic lodge–inspired great room also combines comfort and elegance. “We used a lot of natural materials to bring in a feeling of warmth and age,” says Zonfrilli—for exam-ple, a fireplace mantel made from salvaged barn beams, bronze table lamps, a honed marble-topped iron coffee table and partially exposed wide-plank oak floors. rust-colored leather couches—chosen for their worn, weath-ered look—provide comfy spots to perch around the fire, while a bold oriental rug with a black background adds strength and contrast.

When Falcone craves more luxury, he can retreat into the sumptuous master bathroom, attached to the mas-ter bedroom suite upstairs. chocolate-brown his-and-hers vanities topped with dark emperador marble provide a pop of contrast against the creamy travertine flooring, tub deck

Perfect for carefree relaxation, the stunning master bathroom

and walk-in double shower. in the center of the floor, a cus-tom mosaic panel made of thousands of pieces of imported italian stone gives the room an artistic touch and helps create symmetry: “the floor panel balances the whole room, and its curved corners pick up the feeling of the arched window over the tub area,” says Zonfrilli. A metal-and-glass ceiling fixture with gold fleur-de-lis accents and matching sconces from West essex lighting studio help complete the space.

Dominated by dark wood tones, the chic office is a place for Falcone to conduct business from home occasion-ally and display cherished treasures. the room makes use of many antique and reproduction furniture pieces from Falcone’s former home and features custom millwork by

touch of class carpentry. An elegant fireplace serves as the focal point of the room with its pistachio onyx hearth and fireplace surround, while a faux lizard wall covering from thibaut creates an unusual-yet-neutral backdrop.

Personal touches scattered throughout the office in-clude family photos, industry awards earned over the years and an antique “hope box” Falcone purchased on a trip to italy, which is placed above the credenza: “in italian house-holds, you’d put a loaf of bread and a pound of salt in the box and give it as a housewarming gift to wish the family good luck,” he explains, adding that here, it’s merely for show.

With his home’s final design now complete, Falcone has nothing but raves: “it’s warm and comfortable but still sophisticated, and sheri loves it too,” he says. but why stop designing when you’re on a roll? “ginny is now helping us redesign our shore house in brick!” n

With its eye-catching stone surround and salvaged-wood

mantle, the fireplace takes center stage in the great room.

sigHTs and faMily fun

“SeaSide charm” doeSn’t get much more

charming than cape may. america’s oldest oceanfront resort

(and the first entire town to be named a national historic

Landmark), its streets are bursting with quaint delights.

thanks to its famous “gingerbread” Victorian homes and

a host of family-friendly activities, it’s a perfect spot for an

impromptu autumn getaway when the crowds drawn by its

beautiful beaches have departed.

upon your arrival, you’ll want to explore the visual

treasure trove—and there are several ways to do so. You can

sign up for an entertaining historic district Walking tour

(609-884-5404, www.capemaymac.org), stop by the emlen

Physick estate (1048 Washington Street) to buy an audio

cassette and tour at your own pace, or hop aboard a trolley

tour (609-884-5404, www.capemaymac.org)—some feature

intriguing titles such as “Pirates and Plunder” and “cape

may unzipped.”

the aforementioned Physick estate is a don’t-miss

destination. this Victorian mansion–turned-museum, built

in 1878, departs from the cape may gingerbread, embody-

ing instead the “Stick” style of architecture, featuring bays,

towers and a gridwork of boards over clapboard walls. also

Autumn by the sea

worth a peek is the colonial house, built in 1775. cape may’s

oldest surviving building, it was originally a tavern and home

of revolutionary War patriot memucan hughes.

the 157-foot cape may Lighthouse (609-884-5404) is

proof that “the third time’s the charm.” the first lighthouse,

built in 1823, was carried away by soil erosion; the second, con-

structed badly in 1847, simply crumbled. this one, from 1859

with a beacon that still aids navigation today, is open to visitors.

cape may is renowned as a birdwatcher’s paradise, and

fall “is our busiest season, because of migration,” explains a

representative of the audubon Society’s cape may Bird obser-

vatory. the organization has 138 events planned for october

alone, from “hawk identification mini-Workshops” to “Song-

bird morning Flight.” Want to spot larger creatures? take a

two- to three-hour trip aboard the Cape May Whale Watcher

or its new comrade, The Spirit of Cape May (609-884-5445,

www.capemaywhalewatcher.com).

For high-flying fun, stop by the naval air Station

Wildwood aviation museum (609-886-8787) at the cape

helicopter and sit at the controls of a torpedo bomber from

the cape may area abounds in wineries, thanks to the

moderating climatic influence of the atlantic and delaware

Bay. check out natali Vineyards (609-465-0075, www.natali

yards.com) and the cape may Winery and Vineyard (609-884-

1169, www.capemaywinery.com). all offer events or tastings.

When hunger strikes, options are abundant, but here’s

a tip: at 5:30 p.m. most thursdays in September, head to the

towne crier information center on the Washington Street

mall for taste of the towne, where you’ll sample dishes

from local chefs before deciding where to dine. two notable

dining options include the mad Batter at the carroll Villa

(609-884-5970, www.madbatter.com), set in a landmark 1882

hotel, and the Blue Pig tavern, located in the renowned

congress hall (609-884-8422, www.congresshall.com/content/

bluepigtavern.html).

When it’s time to rest your head, you’ll find an

array of hotels and bed-and-breakfasts that embody the

town’s many enchantments. the chalfonte hotel (609-

884-8409, www.chalfonte.com) is one prominent option.

Built in 1876, it’s the town’s oldest continuously operating

hotel. Book a land-side room for as little as $80, or try the

Presidential Suite for up to $499. Whichever you choose,

be sure to get plenty of rest—an exciting day of exploration

awaits when you awake. n

Think of escarole as The quieT child amid a throng of attention-seeking siblings: as its leafy-green brothers kale, arugula and radicchio have become fashionable health foods in recent years, escarole has re-mained largely unlauded.

luckily, many of us with italian grandmothers learned to love the strong-but-tender leaf anyway, thanks largely to a pleasant peasant soup made of cannelini beans plus escarole sautéed with olive oil and garlic that was a staple in many an émigré’s kitchen.

indeed, with a broad leaf that holds its shape well when cooked, escarole is particularly well-suited for hot soups and side dishes—try it braised, wilted or sautéed. its bold taste hovers between bitter and sweet, complementing other flavors (garlic, Parmesan and even lemon pair with it nicely) or adding kick to milder dishes (combine it with standard-issue greens for a salad with spark, for example).

of course, like any green worthy of its name, escarole—a member of the endive family—is also a nutri-

Serves 5

For the meatballs:

20 ounces 99 percent lean ground turkey breast

¼ cup seasoned breadcrumbs

¼ cup Parmesan cheese

¼ cup parsley, finely chopped

1 egg

¼ cup onion, minced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon kosher salt

For the soup:

8 cups fat-free chicken broth

1 head escarole, chopped

½ cup orzo

fresh pepper to taste

• In a large pot,

• While the broth

combine all the

ingredients for the meatballs.

• Using your hands, mix all the ingredients until

well-combined.

• Roll mixture into small balls. (It should yield approxi-

mately 25 meatballs, 1-inch in diameter.)

• When the broth comes to a boil, drop in the meat-

balls. Add the orzo and chopped escarole. Add

fresh pepper and cook about 10 minutes or until

orzo is done.

It seemed cuIsIne worth dressIng up for. when we arrived on a recent saturday night at resto, a tiny BYo on madison’s main drag, we knew a bit of what we were in for, having perused the offerings beforehand.

we had learned that chef-owner robert ubhaus changes his innovative menu of contemporary french fare every four to six weeks, depending on what’s in season. giv-en this and the restaurant’s “rustic chic” dé-cor of cheery yellow walls, sleek wooden fur-niture and pleasant oil paintings, we figured it as a perfect date-night spot—and were thus surprised to find diners in shorts, casual jeans and sandals. Yet as our meal unfolded, we came to realize that though the food is an up-scale delight, resto’s relaxed vibe is key to its charming, unpretentious personality.

this quality extends to the staff. our friendly, knowledgeable waiter gave us plenty of time to make our selections and patiently answered all of our ques-tions with a smile. we were a bit dismayed by the unusually warm temperature inside the restaurant—but when it came to the food, there was little to complain about.

our starters were a colorful mix of

classic favorites with a creative twist. take the trio of oyster shooters: three fresh mollusks arrived on a bed of seaweed alongside three shot glasses, each containing a different pepper-herb juice (red pep-per–thyme, yellow pepper–marjoram and green pepper–oregano). happily, the flavorful, potent juices complemented the oysters just right.

the gazpacho was a chilled purée of yel-low tomatoes, cucumbers and olive oil with an olive oil–paprika sauce drizzled on top. while the zesty broth was delicious, it slightly overpowered the jumbo lump crabmeat placed in the center. our favorite appetizer was the tiny, round Juni cheese soufflé—light, airy and perfectly browned. we also enjoyed the small mâche salad served on the side, featuring saffron-pickled cauliflower and a tangy horseradish dressing.

Between our starters and entrées came two pleasant surprises: a complimentary martini glass

filled with a creamy purée of chilled tomato, fennel and a touch of milk, and a warm greeting from chef ubhaus him-self. But he was soon back to work, whipping up our main dishes. the grilled ranch-cut medallions of beef featured six tender, well-seasoned pieces of sliced steak served over a crispy, flavorful galette made of potato “strings” and fava beans. though the dish was slightly salty, this was tempered by a pleasantly sweet drizzle of raspberry glaze.

A hearty vegetarian dish, the eggplant provençal farci comprised a hollow eggplant half stuffed with tasty flageolet

beans, tomatoes, capers, olives and other veggies, but it was the heap of melted chèvre that made the dish a real “wow.”

for dessert, we adored the creamy apple pie crème brûlée. glazed to perfec-tion with bits of apple inside and a bun-dle of blueberries on top, the preparation was divine without being overly rich. the “milk and cookies” dessert featured heavenly mascarpone mousse sand-wiched between two spongy, homemade dark-chocolate cookies. our advice: en-joy it without the super-tart strawberry crème anglaise served on the side.

By meal’s end, we learned it mat-ters little what one wears to a restaurant such as resto—nothing can mar the elegance on the plate. n

Funky and fun, the Martini Grill will not disappoint. Their innovative Italian-Continental food

is made from local ingredients bought and prepared onsite daily. Some of the most popular

dishes include a Chilean sea bass baked with horseradish crumb crust over wilted spinach

and lemon jus; a lamb shank braised with vegetable brunoise and a creamy white-bean

provencal; and pan-seared medallions of fi let mignon topped with jumbo shrimp, roasted

peppers and mozzarella in a light garlic jus. Even their latest martini, Day at the Spa, with

cucumber vodka, pureed cucumber, mint and yogurt sounds deliciously healthy.

In addition to being one of the most

romantic restaurants in the state, the

historic Ivy Inn has some homemade

soups and salads that are a perfect

start to entrées that range from

Maryland crab cakes, whole wheat

rigatoni with broccoli rabe and shrimp

in a light sauce to blackened catfi sh,

grilled chops and a wonderful chicken

breast stuffed with prosciutto and

sun-dried tomatoes. And don’t miss the

Happy Hour or dessert menu that were

both voted #1 in the area.

Arthur’s is often compared with some of the fi nest steakhouses in Manhattan for good

reason. This casual, neighborhood tavern serves amazing aged and tender steaks,

mouthwatering burgers and French onion soup, all at affordable prices. In addition, there’s

a host of other selections worth taking note of. For example, on a recent visit, the specials

menu had Maine lobster and a broiled Alaskan salmon over greens with lemon and rice as

well as an unusual chicken and brie arugula salad with grilled peaches and strawberries.

Hand crafting those smiles is the life work of Dr. Steiner and Dr. Fine. Our offi ce’s reputation has spread so far that we now treat patients from around the world; often doing more smile makeovers in a single month that some dentists do in a lifetime.

We also offer an amazing alternative for those living with missing teeth. This dramatic advancement in the fi eld of dental implantology now makes it possible for many patients to switch from dentures to permanent implant supported teeth in only a few hours. This new approach can be used to replace a single missing tooth or an entire mouth. Patients leave the offi ce after just one appointment with a beautiful and strong smile. Discomfort is so minimal that most patients eat a light meal that evening.

Upon entering our front door you will immediately know that this is no ordinary dental offi ce, because that’s what most people say upon seeing it for the fi rst time. Among our practice’s notable patients are actresses, actors, astronauts, models and TV personalities. However most of the doctor’s patients are everyday people who just want to look their best.

Drs. Steiner, Fine and Kwiatkowski have focused their practice on those areas about which they are highly passionate. (After all you wouldn’t ask your family doctor to do heart surgery.) Those areas are Cosmetic Dentistry. Trained at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for advanced dental studies, they have devoted over fi fty combined years to perfecting their skills and have placed over 23,000 cosmetic restorations. Our main focus is on cosmetic and full mouth reconstruction cases. This includes Implant Dentistry and Neuromuscular Orthodontics, which can avoid unecessary removal of teeth. Many people do not realize that dental problems may be the cause of headaches, shoulder, back and neck pain, noisy jaw joints and pains in the TMJ.

Drs. Steiner, Fine and Kwiatkowski pride themselves in having Morris County’s premier head, neck and jaw pain relief center. Our offi ce also offers a “limited warranty” that provides free repair or replacement of restorative dental work, when a patient’s regular hygiene visits are maintained. This kind of security could only be offered by truly World Class Dentists. This is why our motto is: “Experienced professionals make the difference.”
