Heart At tacks "Knowledge... should sharpen our abil-ity to scrutinize more steadily." - Margaret Mead. Like the other organs of the body, the hardworking heart requires oxygen and nutrients to function. This need is met by the coronary arteries, two small ves-sels on the outer surface of the heart muscle. The right coronary artery sup-plies the undersurface of the heart. The left artery runs for about an inch at the top of the heart before dividing into two main branches called the "left anterior descending," traveling to the front of the heart, and "circumflex" supplying the back of the heart. These three arteries (right, left anterior descending and cir-cumflex) and their branches send smaller tributaries into the substance of the heart muscle to supply i t with the

oxygen and nutr i -ents needed to contract and pump nor-mally. The coronary arteries are more susceptible than most other arteries to atherosclerosis (also known as arterio-sclerosis), a buildup of cholesterol within the walls of the vessels. When severe, this buildup may obstruct the artery. Under resting conditions, the blood flow-

Tips for Heart Month: Cause and Treatment of

ing through the diseased coronary artery may be sufficient to supply a specific area of heart muscle, but under more demand-ing conditions, such as exercise, when the heart is working harder and requires oxygen and nutrients, the obstruction may not allow sufficient blood flow to meet the needs of the heart area it supplies. An imbalance of oxygen supply and demand (called "ischemia") is created. When this occurs, the afflicted individual often experiences symptoms of chest discomfort called "angina pectoris." A dis-

eased coronary artery can also become unsta-ble, resulting in ulceration or total disrup-tion of a cholesterol deposit. This often leads to major problems. An ulcerated or

disrupted coronary artery is susceptible to blood clots forming on its exposed surface. When this occurs, the vessel can become completely occluded. As a result,

the portion of heart mus-cle supplied by that artery becomes starved for vital oxygen and nutrients. If the occlusion persists for more than an hour, the affected muscle begins to die. This is usually accom-

panied by severe, persis-tent crushing pain over

the center of the chest, the prime symptom of a heart

attack. When this symptom strikes, it is urgent to get to the nearest hospital emergency room-- immediately! Cardiologists can

now thread a balloon catheter from the groin into the blocked area and open it up, salvaging precious heart muscle, which can substantially improve long-

term prognosis. Remember, your heart is a remarkably resilient organ. It can suffer significant damage before impairment in function occurs. The outlook for patients with coronary atherosclerosis depends on the extent of heart muscle damage from a heart attack and on the extent of blockage in the coronary arteries. Reduc-ing the initial damage, as well as taking the vital steps to reduce your risk fac-tors for a second attack (i.e. lowering your cholesterol, normalizing blood pres-sure, supervised exercise, diet and weight reduction, reducing stress, etc.) are the keys to living a long and healthy life after suffering a heart attack.

heart of Gold What does this phrase mean to you? If you're like most people, your brain quick-ly fills with visions of a lifetime spent eating salads with no dressing, whole grain toast with no butter, and endless platefuls of plain, skinless chicken breast. Boring, boring, and boring! A healthy diet plan does not have to be boring, nor does it have to be overrun with fat free, low calorie, bland and taste-less food. In fact, you can follow a healthy plan and still enjoy a menu filled with tasty snacks, flavorful food and enough variety to try a new recipe every day for weeks at a time. All you have to do is plan your diet. Easy, Healthy diet plan and tips: 1: Make a move toward healthy living.To do that you need to plan a healthy diet with small, man-ageable steps rather than one big drastic change. If you approach the changes gradually and with commitment, you will have a healthy diet sooner than you think. •Makecookingsimpleand fun.

Changing everything at once usually leads to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan.

Care Community Recognized forMakinga Commitment to Quality

Care Community in Battle Creek is a recipient of theMichigan CenterforAssisted Living’s (MCAL) Quality Standard Seals for levels of BestPractice.

Care Community has been recognized atMCAL’s second level ofthe Quality Standard Seals.A multi-step application process tookplace in early 2010 to find homes committed to quality initiatives andimprovement in their assisted living settings.

Linda Lawther, president/CEO ofMCAL, said “I visit many assistedliving homes inMichigan on a regular basis. It is an honor to be able torecognize the ones who are proving their ability and their drive to be thevery best.”

In 2003, theMCAL Quality Standard Seals for Levels of Best Practicebecame an annual achievement opportunity forMichigan homes.Michigan’s process was based on the National Center forAssisted Living(NCAL) Quality First Principles for Performance Excellence. Michigan’sprogram is designed to encourage participants to move through each ofthree steps with a goal for greater quality and excellence each year.

MCAL members applying for a level two seal develop a qualityimprovement program as well as have full staff commitment to the NCALQuality First Pledge. Level two participants have also begun the basics ofstrategic planning.

The program was developed in a way that encourages homes to step up atleast one level each year with a three to four-year plan.

Care Community is one of four homes in the state ofMichigan receivingthe level two seal in 2010.

MCAL is a statewide association of Housing with Services Communities,Homes for theAged,Adult Foster Care and Independent Senior HousingProviders inMichigan, promoting the highest quality of person centeredcare and leadership principals.

diseases. Think of exercise as a food group in your diet. Find something active that you like to do and add it to your day, just like you would add healthy greens and whole grains. The benefits of lifelong exercise are abundant and regular exercise may even motivate you to make healthy food choices a habit.2: Self-control is the key tohealthy living. People often think of healthy eating as an all or nothing proposition, but a key foundation for any healthy diet is moderation. Despite what cer-

tain fad diets would have you believe, we all need a balance of carbohydrates, protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to sustain a healthy body.• Trynottothinkofcertainfoodsas"offlimits." When you ban certain foods or food groups, it is natural to want those foods more, and then feel like a failure if you give in to temptation. If you are drawn toward sweet, salty or unhealthy foods, start by reducing portion sizes and not eating them as often. Later you may find yourself craving them less or thinking of them as only occasional indulgences. • Think smaller portions. Serving sizeshave ballooned recently, particularly in

restaurants. When dining out, split a dish with a friend, and don't go for large por-tions of anything. • Plan quick and easy meals ahead.Healthy eating starts with great planning. You would have won half the healthy diet battle if you have a well-stocked kitchen, a stash of quick and easy recipes, and plenty of healthy snacks. • Plan yourmeals by theweek or eventhe month. One of the best ways to have a healthy diet is to prepare your own food and eat in regularly. Pick a few healthy recipes that you and your family like and build a meal schedule around them. 3: It's not just what you eat, it's how you

eat. Healthy eating is more than planning a balanced diet - it is the way you think about food. Healthy eating habits can be learned and it is important to slow down and think about food as nourishment rather than just something to gulp down in between meetings or on the way to pick up the kids.• Eat with others whenever possible.Eating with other people has numerous social and emotional benefits—particu-larly for children—and allows you to model healthy eating habits. Eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating.• Taketimetochewyourfoodandenjoy

Reconnect with the joy of eating. • Listentoyourbody.Askyourselfifyouare really hungry, or have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty instead of hungry. During a meal, stop eating before you feel full. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly. • Eat breakfast, and eat smallermealsthroughout the day.

I went to the doctor the other day with my son and heard those words, “You’re blood pressure is a little high.” My son asked later if a “little high” was okay since the doctor didn’t seem too concerned. Doctors use terms like “borderline, high side of normal and near hypertensive.” I guess the doctors intend for these phrases to act as warning signs, sorta like

that yellow light that says to us “better think about stop-ping before it is too late.” Unfortunately, if we respond to our “little too high” blood pressure reading like many do to a yellow light – as an opportunity to speed up and push right through – we may

be encountered with some-thing that will bring us to a stop far too quickly – a heart

attack or stroke. According to research-ers for the American Heart

Association a slightly elevated blood pressure where the systolic blood pres-sure (the top number) is over 120 and/or the diastolic blood pressure (the bot-tom number) is above 80 puts people in the danger zone for heart problems. In fact, researchers concluded that pre-hypertensive people are three times more likely to have a heart attack and nearly twice as likely to have heart disease than those who have normal blood pressure. The main concern with an elevated blood pressure is that it is more difficult as we age to get those numbers to move. It is also much more dangerous because of

the impact it has on our hearts and circu-latory system – making them both work much harder and putting us at risk for a heart attack or stroke. A borderline high blood pressure is indeed like that yellow warning light, signaling a need to slow down and prepare to stop, before we are stopped by something far more serious and life threatening. So does having slightly too high of ablood pressure mean radical changes in your lifestyle? Not always, according to doctors. Small changes like using alight salt, adding two 30 minute exercise sessions into your week and applying a little more moderation to your alcohol consumption can help get those numbers back where they should be. A friend told me she began to watch the sodium con-tent of pre-packed foods and cut back on fast food and brought her numbers down to a normal range in less than a month! A tried-and-true strategy involves the

Dietary Approaches to Stop Hyperten-sion(DASH)eatingplan.TheDASHstudy,conducted at fourU.S.medical centers,randomly assigned 459 adults for eight weeks to one of three eating plans with the same number of calories. Participants experienced significant drops in blood pressure when they followed the diet plan low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and total fat with an emphasis on fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy foods. The good news is that this type of eating plan has health benefits beyond just our blood pressure and is very manageable. Our doctor’s recommendation during my son’s visit was to add two sessions of walkingtwiceaweektoourroutine.Shealso noted that the goal is at least 30 min-utes a day but that it doesn’t have to be all at one time. A ten minute walk around the building at lunch and a few minutes on the treadmill while watching the news got me to that extra 30 minutes and then

some. I seem to always go back to the adage about eating an elephant one bite at a time – you know the one. But when dealing with your blood pressure and a “little too high” reading, we need to begin taking those bites out of that ele-phant a little sooner before the beast begins rolling down hill! So strive to keep your numbersless than a “little high” and if you find that they begin to creep up, talk to your physician about what tools you can use to get your blood pressure where it should be. After all, a little too high can turn into a little too late much too quickly.

The incidence of heart attacks among men is common, after all men are more susceptible to heart problems. Right? Actually, wrong! Although this notion is wide spread and persistent among women and their doctors, heart disease actually kills more American women than men every year. In fact, 51% of the deaths related to heart disease in 2005 were among women. The reasons why this misconception has taken hold in our thinking were recently revealed in a study by the Heart Journal Circulation. One find-ing was that women are more likely to have less familiar symptoms of cardiovas-cular disease and are misdiagnosed upon

Not Just a Man’s ConcernHeart Disease

assessment. Cardiovascular disease is the top cause of mortality in women (and men), yet men are treated more aggres-sively when they are admitted with signs of a heart attack. Dr. Andra Blomkalns, a researcher at University of Cincinnati College of Medi-cine, is looking for answers as to why women are treated differently. One pos-sible reason is that women have different risk factors and different symptoms from men. The effect of smoking on women is much more dangerous than men. The same is true for diabetes. Women with diabetes are at a higher risk for heart problems than men with the same dis-

ease. In terms of symptoms, men describe crushing pain, heavy chest pain that lasts for more than 20 minutes. In women, the symptoms may include indigestion, slight transient discomfort that goes away quickly, nausea, and even sleeplessness. When symptoms do appear, doctors treat women differently. For instance, a 56 year old woman was found to have a 90%blockageofamajorartery.Shehadseen her doctor several times over the previous months. Her doctor had diag-nosed a hernia and prescribed Zantac. It was only because of a routine electro-cardiogram before foot surgery that the blockage was found.

The University of Cincinnati study also found that women, especially older women, don’twant to complain. Somestudies have shown women will also minimize their symptoms. When women experience burning in their chest, tingling in their arms, or shortness of breath, they tend to blame other conditions while a man would be more likely to identify the cause as a heart attack. This reluctance may explain why women are 10 years older than men when they are diagnosed with heart disease or when they begin preventative care. In fact, women themselves are less informed and concerned about issues

We are all pretty aware of the value of exercise and nutrition when it comes to our heart; but what about art? Could artistic pursuits be good for us? Well, research tells us the answer is yes. Dr. Gene Cohen of George Washington Uni-versity’s Center on Aging, Health and Humanities has been studying this idea for many years. One of his more recent studies focused on a group of 300 men and women participating in arts pro-grams around the country. The arts par-ticipants, whose average age was 80, were shown to schedule fewer doctor appointments and took fewer medica-tions than members of a control group

From Cohen’s work and others, art has been shown to have many purposes including providing an opportunity for self expression, achieving an improve-ment in self esteem and problem solving skills, and helping lower stress, blood pressure and the need for pain med-ications. Cohen and others have also demonstrated that participation in the arts provides an opportunity for social engagement, increased feelings of mas-tery, improved brain adaptability, and

measurable improvements in the immune system, brain and central nervous sys-tem. The benefits seem pretty clear, but what if you don’t feel par-ticularly artistic will you still achieve the benefits?

enjoy and go for it – don’t base your level of enjoyment on the quality of your work, rather determine if the form of art you are pursuing appeals to you, has a calming effect, and brings you contentment. The primary question should be – Do I enjoy this? If you want to improve, consider tak-ing some classes or asking a friend to help you. Convinced? Great, so let’s get started! We are fortunate in Calhoun County in that we have a wide variety of programs and organizations that can help people of all ages participate actively in arts pro-grams.TheArtCenteronEmmettStreet

at Burnham Brook Unique Art Center exhibit to be held

On February 3, Burnham Brook will be the site for a moving and stirring exhib-it called Survivor’s Journey: Inspirationthrough the Arts. The exhibit grew out of a partnership between The Art Center of Battle Creek and the American Can-cer Society. Twenty five cancer survi-vors identified by the American Cancer Societywerematchedwith 15 artistsselected by the Art Center to create artis-tic pieces inspired by the survivor’s can-cer journey. The 27 works of art include watercolor, acrylic and oil paintings, fab-ric weavings and mixed media pieces. In some cases the artists created the artwork after hearing the survivor’s story, in other cases the artist and survivor worked togeth-er on the piece and in further cases the art-ist was also a cancer survivor and created their piece from their own inspiration. Art Center director, Linda Holderbaum, commented on the exhibit, “It has been inspiring to

see the artists and survivors communi-cate their experiences and then capture it in a tangible expression. The resulting works of art are a dynamic illustration of the power of hope and healing.” This exhibit at Burnham Brook is the first loca-tion the artwork has been shown in since its opening at the Art Center in November of 2010. The Art Center of Battle Creek and theAmericanCancer Society partneredon this project with the common goal of improving the quality of life for the resi-dents of our community. Additionally, the g e n - eral public will learn much

more about both artistic expression and the struggle for

life that millions of people around the world face when they hear

the words, “You have can-cer.” The artwork itself is

beautiful and creative; how-ever, exhibit attendees will be most captured by the sto-ries of survival and healing that are included with the art pieces. The exhibit will begin

with an open house on February 3 from 4:00 – 7:00 pm at Burnham Brook Com-munity Center with light refreshments and an opportunity to meet some of the artists and survivors. The exhibit will be on display at Burnham Brook throughout the month of February. There will also be an opportunity to sign up for a four-week series of classes that will explore mixed media art – allowing you to explore the healing and transformational power of art for yourself. The classes will be held on Thursday afternoons starting on Febru-ary 10 and will cost only $15 for all four weeks.

February 3 at 4:00 pm inside Burnham Brook

Your heart is a muscle about the size of your fist. It pumps blood through the body’s network of blood vessels (arteries) supplying life-giving, oxygen-rich blood to muscles and organs and returning the oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart through the veins. Normal aging occurs with the heart and circulatory system; blood vessels become stiffer and the heart wall thickens. The size of the four sec-tions of the heart and the valves t h a t c o n t r o l blood flow may change. While there is not much that can be done to halt the natural changes in the body over time, the choices we make about lifestyle are strong deter-minants in our risk of heart disease. What can you do to reduce your risk of heart disease? If you smoke – quit. Make the decision

- American Heart Association Presidential Advisory

DALLAS,Jan.13,2011–TheAmericanHeart Association today issued a call to action for the public, health professionals, the food industry and the government to intensify efforts to reduce the amount of sodium (salt) Americans consume daily. In an advisory, published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Associa-tion, the association sets out the science behind the American Heart Association’s recommendation for the general popula-tion, which is to consume no more than 1,500 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day because of its harmful effects. – elevated blood pressure and increased

risk of stroke, heart attacks and kidney disease. Elevated blood pressure (hyper-tension) is a major public health problem – approximately 90 percent of all Ameri-cans will develop hypertension over their lifetime. Sod ium con -sumption is cur-rently more than two times higher than the recom-m e n d e d u p p e r limit of 1,500 mg daily, with 77 per-cent of that con-

sumption coming from packaged, pro-cessed and restaurant foods. “Even a modest decline in intake – say 400 mg per day –would produce benefits that are substantial and warrant implemen-tation,” say the advisory authors. The

2005UnitedStatesDietary Guidelines for Americans rec-ommended a sodi-um intake limit of 2,300 mg per day, which many health experts say is too much for most

Americans. Earlier this year, the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee recom-mended to the secretaries of the Unit-ed States Departments of Agriculture(USDA) andU.S. Department of HealthandHumanServices(HHS)thatthegoalshould be modified to 1,500 mg per day for the general population. The advisory committee consists of leading scientists who reviewed the most recent scientific studies and created a set of recommen-dations that are being reviewed by the secretaries. Recently, the American Heart Associa-tion lowered their recommendation to no

more than 1,500 mg of sodium daily for the general public, after a report from the Centers for Disease Control found that a majority of the American population either have high blood pressure or are at high risk for developing it. According to the advisory: * As sodium intake rises, so does blood pressure and the risk of negative health outcomes. * Independent of its effects on blood pressure, excess sodium intake adversely affects the heart, kidneys, and blood ves-sels. * The potential public health benefits of sodium reduction are enormous and extend to all Americans. * Scientific evidenceon the adverseeffects of excess sodium is strong and

compelling. * The American Heart Association’s 2020 impact goals – to improve the car-diovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent while reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent – include a population-wide reduction of sodium consumption to less than 1,500 mg/daily as one of the ways the association will measure the nation’s cardiovascular health. Furthermore, a normal range blood pressure is another key factor the association will use to mea-sure the nation’s cardiovascular health status. * The American Heart Association is part of theNational Salt Reduction Ini-tiative, which is working with the food industry to reduce sodium content in

packaged and restaurant food. Inherent to the negative health effects are rising healthcare costs, the authors add. They point to one recent study that suggests a national effort that reduc-es sodium intake by 1,200 mg per day should reduce the health burdens related to heart disease in addition to reducing costs by up to $24 billion per year. “Americans deserve the opportunity to choose how much sodium is in the food they eat. By supporting measures that will reduce sodium in the overall food supply, we are giving consumers freedom to select foods that could allow them to meet sodium recommendations

and improve their ideal cardiovascular health,”saidRalphSacco,M.D.,presidentof the American Heart Association. The American Heart Association advo-cates for more robust sodium criteria within school nutrition standards, foods advertised and marketed to children and foods purchased by employers or govern-mentfeedingprograms,andfortheSec-retaries ofHHS andUSDA to adopt theDietary Guidelines Advisory Committee recommendations. The association also supports improved food labeling that helps consumers understand how much sodium is in their diet and consumer education in restau-
