Today’s children will no doubt grow up to be heavy users of
technology. But child development experts caution parents that
there is no hurry to introduce or expose them to devices like
TVs, computers, video games and smartphones. The American
Academy of Pediatrics discourages screen time for children under
age 2, and suggests children over age 2 be exposed to no more
than one to two hours of screen time for entertainment each day.
The recommendations are based on studies linking too much
screen time to:
Obesity. More time spent in front of the TV or computer means
less time being physically active. Children also tend to eat more
when watching TV, and advertisements may tempt them with
less-than-healthy food options.
Trouble sleeping. Screen time can affect a child’s rest, making
it more difficult to fall and stay asleep at night. Sleep loss can
cause tiredness during the day and may increase snacking.
Behavioral problems. Attention problems, anxiety and
depression have been associated with children who spend more
than two hours per day watching TV or using a computer.
Less time for play. Screen time often replaces time that could
be spent in active, creative play, which is essential for healthy
development.
TIPS TO REDUCE SCREEN TIMEMost experts agree on the risks associated with too much
screen time, but limiting a child’s exposure can still be
challenging. Toy manufacturers have targeted even the
youngest infants with items like Fisher-Price’s Newborn-to-
Toddler Apptivity Seat for the iPad®. These tips may help
reduce screen time in your home:
Discuss expectations. Enforcing a house limit on daily screen
time may be easier when the entire family
understands why the rules are in place.
Share your hopes that the family will
be more active and spend more quality
time together playing games or going
for a walk as a result.
Track viewing. Keep a log of every family member’s time in
front of a screen, including time spent using a computer for
entertainment purposes. Then aim to make active time greater
than screen time.
Turn it off. Make it a rule that the TV remains off and phones
inaccessible during meal times and when doing homework.
Do not use the TV as background noise.
Make bedrooms screen-free. Children who have TVs in their
bedrooms tend to do worse academically than other children at
the elementary school level. What’s more, they may spend more
time in their rooms and less time with family.
Set a good example. Follow your own rules and limit your screen
time, too. Help your children find alternative activities, like reading,
playing a game or helping with cooking. And when it’s time for
TV or video games, suggest incorporating active elements, such as
jumping jacks during commercial breaks.
To learn more about the dangers of too much screen time and
tips for reducing it, talk to your family physician or pediatrician.
He or she can be a valuable resource in keeping your family fit,
healthy and happy.
Kids and Screen Time: Tips for Setting Limits
Are You Protecting Your Bones?
You probably don’t think
about it often, but your
skeleton is an amazing part
of your body. From the 300
bones you had at birth to the
206 bones you have by about
age 25, bones grow, fuse
together and renew tissue,
creating a strong framework
to protect your organs and
help you stay active. Your
bones continue to change
throughout life, so right
now is a great time to think
about them. Otsego Health
& Wellness sat down with
Adrienne Kelly, MD, Orthopedic Surgeon at Otsego Memorial
Hospital, to find out more about the musculoskeletal system
and how to protect it. The following tips can help you and your
loved ones protect and monitor your bones’ health.
START WITH A HEALTHY DIETCalcium, vitamin D and vitamin K are all important for building
and maintaining bones. The bones and teeth store 99% of
calcium, which the body uses for keeping bones and teeth strong,
as well as transmitting nerve impulses and regulating the heart’s
rhythm (the remaining 1% is in the blood and other tissues).
Good sources of calcium include:
• Dairy products, such as low-fat or nonfat milk, cheese
and yogurt
• Almonds
• Dark green leafy vegetables, such as broccoli and bok choy
• Calcium-fortified foods such as cereal, bread, orange juice and
soy beverages
Vitamin D helps in the absorption of calcium. It’s found in milk
and vitamin supplements. The body also makes vitamin D
when skin is exposed to sunlight — a few minutes a day in the
summertime can help, but it’s still important to protect skin with
sunscreen to prevent sun-induced skin cancer.

WHEN A BONE BREAKS
A fracture is a broken bone that requires medical attention.
Bones can break from a traumatic force (such as an
automobile accident), osteoporosis (thin bones) or overuse
(such as an athletic stress fracture). If a broken bone is the
result of a major trauma or injury, call 911 to get emergency
help as soon as possible. Depending on the severity of the
break, doctors may need to X-ray the area and use a cast,
splint or pins to hold the fracture in the correct position
while the bone heals. Fractures can take several weeks or
months to heal — follow your doctor’s advice for care and
easing back into normal activity.
Adrienne Kelly, MD, Orthopedic Surgeon at
Otsego Memorial Hospital
5myomh.org
Dark leafy green vegetables are a key source of vitamin K, which
aids in calcium regulation and bone formation. A serving a day
of broccoli, dark green lettuce, kale or brussels sprouts can help
maintain bone density.
Your doctor can help you determine the calcium intake and
foods that are best for you and your family’s bones.
WEAR THE RIGHT PROTECTIVE GEARTrauma, including sports injuries, is the most common cause
of bone fractures. Children, teens and adults should wear
appropriate sporting equipment whether participating in team
sports or pursuing solitary recreational activities.
A helmet helps protects your skull (and brain) when you ride
a bike, motorcycle, snowmobile or other fast-moving vehicle.
It’s also necessary for sports such as football and hockey.
Wrist supports, elbow pads and knee pads worn in addition
to a helmet can help guard skateboarders and in-line skaters
from fractures.
It’s also important to wear a seat belt when driving or riding
in a car. Motor vehicle accidents are another common cause of
broken bones.
EXERCISE TO BUILD BONE MASSBone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and
then built up in a process called remodeling. During the first
20 to 30 years of life, bone production exceeds bone destruction
in healthy individuals who get enough calcium and exercise.
After this time, bone destruction typically exceeds production.
The good news: physical activity can help reduce bone loss as
you age. That’s why it’s important to exercise no matter what
your age.
Weight-bearing exercises — such as running, walking, lifting
weights, tennis, hiking and dancing — are ideal ways to boost
your bones. These activities force you to work against gravity,
and help make your bones stronger. Exercise also helps
maintain muscle strength, coordination and balance, which
can help prevent falls and fractures. Consult your physician
before starting a regular exercise program — certain activities
may be better for you than others depending on your age and
health history.
GUARD AGAINST OSTEOPOROSISPeople who don’t get enough calcium or physical activity are at
greater risk of having osteoporosis (“porous bone”) — a disease
characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue.
If not prevented or left untreated, osteoporosis can lead to bone
fractures, most often of the hip, spine or wrist. Of the 10 million
Americans estimated to have osteoporosis, 8 million are women
and 2 million are men.* Women who are post-menopausal with
a small body frame are at highest risk.
Osteoporosis can develop undetected for decades, but a bone
mineral density test can help detect it early, determine your
risk for fractures and measure your response to osteoporosis
treatment. The test is painless and noninvasive. If you have
low bone mass or osteoporosis, your doctor can help you
develop a healthy habits plan or prescribe medication to help
slow bone loss.
MIND OVER MATTERAccording to Dr. Kelly, “Your musculoskeletal system is one of
the most important yet overlooked organ systems in your body.
Good nutrition, regular exercise and maintenance of ideal body
weight throughout your lifetime will go a long way to maximize
muscle and bone strength, and minimize ailments such as
osteoporosis, fractures and other injuries, osteoarthritis and low
back pain.”
So, the next time you’re shopping for groceries or deciding how
to spend a free afternoon outdoors, think about your bones.
Taking steps to nourish and protect them can help you keep
your bones healthy and strong for many years. To schedule an
appointment with Dr. Kelly or any of her partners in practice,
please contact the Otsego Memorial Hospital N’Orthopedic
practice at (989) 732-1753.

Confused by sunscreen labeling and not sure exactly what protection each product offers?
Be unsure no more: The FDA has a new standard test for over-the-counter sunscreen that
determines which products are permitted to use “broad spectrum” on their labels.
Under the new labeling requirements, sunscreens using that claim have passed a test
that shows they provide protection against ultraviolet B (UVB) and ultraviolet A (UVA)
rays, and all types of skin damage caused by the sun. While UVB is the primary culprit
in sunburn, both types of rays can cause sunburn, skin cancer and skin aging. These
products will also carry a label showing a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher.
Sunscreen products that aren’t labeled broad spectrum or that have an SPF of 2 to 14
will include the warning “This product has been shown only to help prevent sunburn,
not skin cancer or early skin aging.”
As for water resistance, labels must now show how long a user can expect protection
while swimming or sweating: either 40 minutes or 80 minutes. The words “waterproof,”
“sweatproof,” “sunblock” and “instant protection” will not be permitted on labeling, nor
will claims of protection lasting more than two hours without reapplication, unless the
manufacturer has testing data — as well as FDA approval — to back those claims up.
Shedding Light on Sunscreen Claims
This time of year, farmers markets and supermarket produce departments are blooming

McReynolds Hall first opened its doors in 1966 to meet the
long- and short-term nursing and rehabilitation needs of Otsego
County and surrounding communities. Over the years thousands
of community members have either called McReynolds Hall
home or have utilized the facility for short-term rehabilitative or
nursing care. Currently this facility is undergoing a significant
renovation to improve the living space and thus, quality of life
for those living, healing, visiting or volunteering. However,
community support is needed to ensure this renovation project
become a reality for residents. The OMH Foundation is actively
seeking community support for this project with estimated costs
just more than $400,000.
McReynolds Hall has had very little renovation and only minor
updates since it opened nearly 49 years ago. Most all of the
flooring, lighting and windows are original and many of the
walls are still painted cinder block. McReynolds Hall is in need
of significant upgrades to provide a comfortable, pleasant and
homelike environment for the residents who reside there and the
hundreds of short-term patients and families who visit each year.
Currently, some residents have called McReynolds home for
more than eight years.
Renovations at McReynolds Hall
This renovation project will include renovations to the entire
facility, including each resident room and all shared resident
spaces. Renovations include:
• Skim coating all remaining cinderblock walls to provide the
look of a finished drywall surface.
• Updating paint throughout the facility.
• Replacing ceilings throughout the facility.
• Replacing and upgrading flooring throughout the facility.
• Replacing and upgrading windows throughout the facility.
• Replacing doors throughout the facility and trimming
doorways to provide a more homelike appearance.
• Updating all lighting throughout the facility, eliminating
florescent lighting wherever possible.
• Creating a more welcoming entrance for those coming and
going from the facility.
• Adding new patient and visitor furniture, including resident
beds and mattresses.

Taking Control of Type 2 DiabetesDiabetes affects more than 20 million Americans and can
lead to serious health problems including heart disease,
stroke, kidney disease and blindness. The most common
form of diabetes, type 2 accounts for 90% to 95% of all
diagnosed cases. Unfortunately, almost one-third of those
with type 2 diabetes don’t know they have it, and millions
more are unaware that they could be at risk for the disease.*
According to the most recent survey released from the
Northern Michigan Diabetes Initiative, 68% of respondents in
northern Michigan reported that either they themselves or an
immediate family member has been diagnosed with diabetes.
Of adults, 15.2% report having been diagnosed with diabetes,
this is higher than the estimated statewide prevalence of 10%
and the US rate of 9%.**
A GROWING CONCERN Obesity is a major cause for the rising incidence of type 2
diabetes in all people, especially young people. American
children and adults are increasingly overweight, inactive and
at risk for developing diabetes.
About 54 million Americans have pre-diabetes (higher than
normal blood sugar levels),** a condition that increases the risk
for developing type 2 diabetes. Until recently, type 2 diabetes
in children was considered rare, representing just 1% to 2%
of all diabetes cases in children. Over the past 20 years, the
prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity has doubled.***
Diabetes and other health issues due to overweight and obesity
are spiraling out of control in the United States. The Journal
of the American Medical Association projects that if the rate of
diabetes continues to increase, one in three Americans born in
2000 will be diagnosed with diabetes by the year 2050.
UNDERSTANDING DIABETESOur bodies turn most of the food we eat into glucose, or
sugar, which is the basic fuel for our cells. With every meal,
the pancreas releases insulin, a hormone that helps move
glucose to the cells so the body can use it properly. Type 2
diabetes usually begins as insulin resistance, a disorder in
which the cells do not use insulin properly.
When blood glucose levels are too low or too high, the body
suffers. Hypoglycemia, or low blood glucose, is characterized
by shakiness, sweating, hunger, behavior changes and
confusion. The quickest way to raise blood glucose and treat
hypoglycemia is with sugar (glucose tablets, hard candy,
fruit juice). If blood glucose falls too low, a person may
experience seizures or pass out. In this case, he or she may
need a glucagon (not insulin) injection and emergency medical
attention. Hyperglycemia, or high blood glucose, happens
when the body is lacking insulin.
Diabetes is a lifelong condition. Even if it is controlled,
hyperglycemia may be triggered by the stress of an illness, or
can occur after eating more or exerting less energy than usual.
Over time, frequent hyperglycemia can lead to other serious
complications of diabetes.
Adults with diabetes have a high risk for heart disease, and
are two to four times more likely to have a stroke. Diabetes is
the leading cause of new cases of blindness among adults and
the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease. Due to nerve
damage caused by diabetes, lower-limb and foot injuries and
infections may result. More than 60% of nontraumatic lower-
limb amputations occur among people with diabetes.***
Many people inherit a predisposition to type 2 diabetes, but
lifestyle characteristics can trigger the disease. Still, it’s never
too late for people with elevated risk for type 2 diabetes or
those who already have it to take steps to protect against the
disease. A recent study conducted by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services shows that type 2 diabetes can
ARE YOU AT RISK?
You may be at a higher risk for type 2 diabetes if you
have any of the following characteristics:
• Family history of diabetes
• Low activity level
• Poor diet
• Over 45 years old
• Excess body weight (especially around the waist)
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Previous diabetes during pregnancy or giving birth
to a baby weighing more than nine pounds
• Certain ethnicity, including African-American,
Hispanic-American and American Indian
9myomh.org
IDENTIFY SYMPTOMS
See your doctor if you experience these symptoms
of diabetes:
• Frequent urination
• Excessive thirst
• Extreme hunger
• Increased fatigue
• Unexplained weight loss
• Irritability
• Sudden vision changes
• Tingling or numbness in hands or feet
• Sores that are slow to heal
• More infections than usual
Taking Control of Type 2 Diabetesbe delayed or even prevented
by losing 5% to 10% of body
weight and exercising for 30
minutes on most days.****
These lifestyle interventions
were particularly successful
for people age 60 and older.
TREATMENT FOR BETTER HEALTHEarly detection and treatment can
help control the disease and numerous
complications associated with it. The goal
of treatment is to keep blood glucose near normal
levels at all times. This requires a regimen that may include a
carefully managed diet, exercise, home blood glucose testing,
oral medication and/or insulin injections. Checking blood
glucose regularly allows you to recognize patterns, and with
the help of your doctor, develop a treatment plan that works
best for you. Classes are available to assist in learning to
manage the disease and reduce complications.
People with diabetes may not feel painful sores on their feet,
and if these sores turn into ulcers or become severely infected,
amputation of the foot may be required. To stay healthy, check
your feet every day for red spots, sores, swelling or blisters.
See your doctor if you notice corns, calluses, ingrown toenails
or other abnormalities. Even if your feet look good, have an
annual foot checkup.
A POSITIVE APPROACHManaging diabetes is more than controlling blood glucose,
diet, exercise and foot care. It involves rebalancing your life
to fit your health needs and addressing health concerns so
you can continue to live life the way you want.

EDUCATION IS KEY
According to a recent study by the National Institute
of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), millions of Americans who are at risk
for type 2 diabetes can prevent or delay the disease by
making modest lifestyle changes through a structured
program. OMH is one of the few organizations in
northern Michigan offering the CDC’s National Diabetes
Prevention Program to those individuals considered pre
diabetic, with the goal of reducing their risk of being
diagnosed with diabetes. OMH also offers educational
opportunities for diabetic individuals on how to manage
their diagnosis. For more information or to sign up,
please contact our Community Health Education office
