Question:Is there anything I can do to prevent kidney stones?

Answer:one of the most common reasons patients are seen in our urology practice is kidney stones. Studies have suggested they affect 10 to 15 percent of the U.S. population. Most kidney stones are made up of various crystals of calcium. the crystals form into stone when urine becomes over-concentrated. Kidney stones, though seemingly tiny, can be very painful to pass through the body. However, there are some simple things you can do to prevent the formation of kidney stones, or the growth of any stones you may already have.

Most people do not need to avoid dietary calcium or supplements in modest

urologist or primary care physician.

Five simple things you can do to prevent kidney stones:

Eat a healthy diet

Drink plentyof water throughoutthe day

Limit saltintake

Consumedrinks thatcontaincitric acid

Stick to lean animal proteins

J ust because “work” is in “work-out,” doesn’t mean it has to be a job.

If you’ve just about given up on that boring, repetitive exercise rou-tine, don’t! Megan Babkes Stellino , a psychology of sport and physical activity professor at the University of Northern Colorado and certifi ed personal trainers Mark Warburton of Work Out West in Greeley and Tom Forsyth from Team Tom at Condi-tioning Spa Health and Fitness in Greeley have o� ered some tips so you can have fun while you work out.

MAKE IT SOCIALForsyth, Stellino and Warburton

agree that one of the easiest ways to make your workout more fun is to do it with friends.

“Invite your neighbor. Share a goal. I’m all about having stories,” Warburton said. “You want to be able and sit down with a friend and say ‘Hey, remember when we climbed that tree? That was fun.’ ”

TURN UP THE TUNESWhether it’s country, heavy

metal or hip-hop, Forsyth said listening to your favorite music is a quick way to unwind, get in the zone and fl ow through your workout.

“Music impacts mood,” Stellino said. “So working out to music of your choice makes your workout more fun.”

DO WHAT YOU’RE BEST ATIf you run at the Olympic level,

throw on those tennis shoes and head out the door. If you’re the next gold-medal swimmer, then grab your goggles and dive into the deep end.

Whatever your niche may be, Stellino said the easiest way to make

your workout more fun is to do something you know you’re good at.

“It’s called perceived competence,” Stellino said. “If we think we’re good at something, we’ll have more fun doing it.”

MAKE IT SWEETTeam Tom suggests eating a piece

of fruit, such as a banana, 30 min-utes before your workout.

“(Fruit) keeps your sugar levels and energy up, which will help you feel good during the workout,” Forsyth said.

MIX IT UPIf you’re bored with a repetitive

exercise plan, change it up.

Warburton suggests doing a dif-ferent class each week.

“It can be the same class, but at a new time with di� erent people,” Warburton said.

SET GOALSSetting goals and achieving them

can make anyone feel good about their workout.

“If you’re working toward some-thing you want, then it will be fun and not just work,” Forsyth said.

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY“People who enjoy swimming

like feeling the buoyancy of their bodies in the water,” Stellino said. “Runners enjoy getting that run-

ners high.”According to Stellino, this is called

movement sensation. When your body enjoys the way something feels, your brain will, too.

On the other hand, Stellino said, “avoid painful activities.”

DECISIONS, DECISIONSThere are plenty of options

when it comes to exercise. Don’t do anything you feel like you’re forced to do.

Stellino explained that people who choose their workout have more fun than people who don’t, a concept called autonomy.

“Remember that you volunteered to do it, and that it’s meant to be fun,” Warburton said. “It shouldn’t

be a chore.”

TAKE CLASSESForsyth and Warburton agree that

classes are a great way to enjoy a workout.

“There’s a lot of smiles in the classes,” Warburton said. “You get in a workout, but it’s fun, as well.”

Forsyth said meeting people in the class with a common interest also makes time go by faster.

DO WHAT YOU LOVE“Figure out what you enjoy doing

the most and design that into some sort of physical activity,” Warburton said. “If it’s walking the dog, walk the dog a little faster.”

Forsyth suggests doing an activity you enjoyed as a kid.

10 WAYSTO MAKE YOUR WORKOUT MORE FUN

Experts say you can make your workout more fun by joining a class or incorporating energizing music to the workout.

E ven youngish joints can feel creaky and painful without proper care.

Luckily, lifestyle changes can help you stay active longer.

“With an average life expec-tancy of more than 70 years, it’s more important than ever for us to protect our bod-ies,” says Dr. Kevin Bonner, an orthopedic surgeon who practices at Sentara Leigh Hospital in Norfolk, Va. Here are some tips:

Stay fit. Strong muscles help keep joints stable and

decrease stress on cartilage, or connective tissue. Vary workouts to include both cardiovascular and strength-training.

Maintain a healthy weight. Every extra pound puts six to seven times that amount of pres-sure on your knees. That can destroy cartilage and result in painful bone-on-bone contact.

focuS on poSture. Slouching while sitting or standing leads to uneven weight distribution that can strain ligaments and muscles, according to the

Mayo Clinic.avoid daMaging

activitieS. People at high risk for arthritis may want to limit high-impact exercises (moves where both feet leave the ground at once). Former athletes who have suffered knee ligament tears, for example, may ben-efit more from low-impact workouts such as swimming and biking. If you’re experi-encing knee pain, also avoid deep squats and lunges.

don’t overdo exerciSe. Never increase workout lengths by more than 10 percent per week. If

you run 10 miles one week, don’t try to do 20 the next — make it 11.

learn proper forM. Consult a coach or trainer at least once, particu-larly with activities requiring repetitive motions such as tennis, golf and weight lifting.

don’t Skip your warM-up. Tight muscles around a joint increase injury risk. Stretch after workouts, too.

Seek treatMent. Don’t wait too long to con-sult a doctor about chronic joint pain or declining range of motion.

W hen doctors and coaches pull an athlete from an ac-tivity because of suspected

head trauma, they aren’t doing so to be mean. They aren’t overreact-ing. And, by no means are they benching an athlete because they fear legal action from the parents if health complications arise.

Doctors and coaches follow evi-dence-based guidelines for concus-sions to protect the health of young athletes today and in the future.

“The biggest problem I face is angry parents,” said Banner Health neurologist Je� rey Siegel, M.D., about treating children who have su� ered head injuries in sports. “For most families, this could be the child’s ticket to college. That’s huge.”

Siegel, who practices at North Colorado Neurology in Greeley, said by failing to properly address the athlete’s injury, parents could sacrifi ce their children’s health.

Guidelines from the American Association of Neurology follow a grading scale to determine the severity of a concussion.

In Grade 1, the youngster shows confusion, but no loss of conscious-ness. Confusion or other symptoms resolve in less than 15 minutes.

“In Grade 1, the child is dinged and just confused,” Siegel said. “If it lasts more than 15 minutes, you go to Grade 2.”

Grade 2 symptoms might include inability to concentrate or amnesia. If this lasts more than an hour, the athlete should be taken to receive

medical attention.In Grade 3, the athlete loses con-

sciousness for any period of time. Siegel said mental status testing

can be easy to do and easily learned through courses. The Colorado High School Activities Association requires coaches to take online

training that addresses what symptoms to look for and deciding when a student is ready to return to play.

The importance of following these guidelines is crucial, Siegel said.

“Kids don’t recognize the danger they are in, and it’s our responsibil-ity as adults to do what we can” to prevent long-term damage.

“It’s an athlete’s death that makes the newspapers. More common, however, is when an athlete sus-tains small, multiple injuries which accumulate and degrade the intel-ligence and function of that person.

“We don’t know a critical num-ber, but at some point, it becomes a little bit too much, and there’s going to be damage. It could be subtle or obvious. Kids don’t understand the repercussions,” Siegel said. “They

don’t care about what they might be like when they’re 30 years old and trying to hold a career and a family together.”

Evidence shows a relationship between the number and frequency of concussions and the develop-ment of dementia later in life, he said. The research also shows a relationship between concussions and academic performance and performance on neurological test-ing.

“Is that a good trade o� ? You win a trophy, but then you might not get that promotion as readily, or you might have marital di� culties,” Siegel said.

He has seen patients with injuries from many sports: soccer, basket-ball, horse riding, skiing, boxing and football. He advocates reason-able precautions for activities such as using bike or ski helmets. Also, coaches and parents should be more aware of the symptoms of a concussion and act accordingly.

Details A concussion is a brain injury

that results in a temporary disruption of normal brain function. It occurs when the brain is violently rocked back and forth or twisted inside the skull as a result of a blow to the head or body. An athlete doesn’t have to lose consciousness to suffer a concussion. Estimates indicate that more than 140,000 U.S. high school athletes suffer a concussion each year.

L ooking for a holistic way to reduce stress, cholesterol and obesity? Get a pet.

Statistics show that 62 percent of American households own a pet. According to a national survey, most pet owners say companion-ship, love, company and a� ection are the No. 1 benefi ts to owning a pet.

We know that pets make good companions and decrease loneli-ness, but numerous studies have shown other profound health benefi ts of owning a pet:

1 Pets help recovery from heart attacks. A National Institutes of Health study of

421 adults found that dog owners had a better one-year survival after a heart attack, compared to those who did not own dogs.

2 Pets help us calm down. A study of 240 married couples showed that pet

owners had lower heart rates and blood pressure as compared to those without pets.

3 Pets help reduce stress better than our human companions. Pet owners

had less stress and quicker recov-ery from stress when they were with their pets as compared to when they were with their spouse or friend.

4 Pet owners have less obesity. A study looking at 2,000 adults found that

pet owners who walked their dogs had less rates of obesity and

were more physically active than those without pets.

5 Pet owners have better mobility in their golden years. Another NIH study

looking at 2,500 adults aged 71-82 showed that adults who regularly walked their dogs had more mobility inside the house than non-pet owners.

6Pets increase opportu-nities for socialization. Many studies have shown

that walking a dog leads to more conversations and socialization.

7 Pets can help your cholesterol. The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention states that owning a pet can decrease cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure.

8 Pets can help comfort children. Child psy-chologists have found that

pets can be very comforting to children and help them develop empathy. They have also been found to help autistic children with socialization.

So for those of you with pets, continue to enjoy the hidden health benefi ts of your furry friends. And for those of you thinking of getting one — do so.

Pet ownership may be a path to your good health.

A research study appearing in the Ar-chives of Pediatrics &

Adolescent Medicine found that if other foods were presented in McDonald’s wrappers, young children actually liked them better than when the same foods

were presented without the wrapper (e.g., hamburger to hamburger). In another study that appeared in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, the researchers found that when escalloped potatoes or stuffed shells offered in a col-lege cafeteria looked dry, the students didn’t select them as often, indicating that the appearance of food influ-

ences food choice. Makes sense — who wants to eat dry-looking food?

Another study, conducted by Gil Morrot and colleagues and reported in the journal Brain and Language, set up a wine tasting for 54 under-graduates from the faculty of Oenology of the University of Bordeaux. When the re-searchers artificially colored white wine with an odorless

dye to look red, the panel of soon-to-be wine connois-seurs described its aroma as that of red wine.

And finally, a study in the Journal of Consumer Re-search found that the color of a drink can influence how you think it tastes. In fact, the researchers found that color had more of an influ-ence on perception of taste than either quality or price information. When pre-sented with two cups of the same Tropicana orange juice, one of which had been dark-ened with food coloring, the members of the researcher’s sample group perceived dif-ferences in taste that did not exist. However, when given two cups of orange juice that were the same color, one of which had been sweetened with sugar, the same people failed to perceive taste dif-ferences.

The problem is that when most people start to cook healthier, the food looks bland — and if a food looks uninteresting, there is a high likelihood that it will be per-ceived as tasting uninterest-ing. Here are a few tips from top food stylists for making healthier foods look more appealing.

GarnishHere are some garnish-

ing suggestions from Sarah Thompson, food stylist for the “Taste of Home Cook-book, Cooks who Care Edition.” »Bundle matchstick-cut

veggies such as carrots, red and yellow peppers and zucchini together; wrap them with a strip of green onion and carefully tie it into a knot. Then steam the bundles in a skillet with a little chicken broth, water or wine. »Sprinkle pomegran-

ate seeds over salad greens (savory) or yogurt (sweet) for a great shot of color and added sweet-tartness. Fresh currants offer a delicate touch and a pop of color, and bright orange kumquats,

whole or cut in half, make a nice garnish for both entrees and desserts. »Fresh herbs are a

garnishing staple. In sprigs or minced, for either sweet or savory recipes, herbs are a go-to garnish that makes everything look more presentable. Celery leaves are a quick and economi-cal garnish when you’re in a time crunch!

Add colorWhen planning your

meal, think about the colors of the various components. When the food on your plate is all one color – particularly if it’s white or beige – it will look a lot less appealing.

Add a punch of eye-popping color with red, yellow and green peppers, red and orange beets, yellow and green winter and sum-mer squashes. Carrots also come in yellow, purple and orange, and string beans can be purple, yellow or green. Tomatoes come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes.

All of these enhance the visual palette of the plate, says Jean Galton, a Seattle chef and food stylist, (jean-galton.com). Also, use a sprig of fresh dill or parsley on your plate. Or hollow out a sweet red, green, yellow or orange bell pepper as a container for a veggie dip.

When steaming/blanch-ing vegetables, it is always important to undercook them slightly, and plunge them into ice cold water to stop the cooking process and keep the beautiful, natural color of the vegetable intact. Overcooked vegetables will be gray, dull and soggy look-ing, says Pam Sorin, a food stylist and recipe developer located in New York.

Shape and textureConsider the textures and

colors of various grains and beans (polenta, farro, buck-wheat, quinoa and the entire variety of dried beans), as well as seeds (sesame, poppy, pumpkin, flax). Try rice and

soba noodles, and don’t forget whole-grain pastas ex-truded in interesting shapes. Make sure to add these to your plate, says Galton.

PlatingYou often hear chefs talk

about the importance of how they “plate” their food. Don’t just throw your food on a plate and serve it. Even if you’re eating alone, arrange your plate attractively, and never use paper plates. Even if you’re having a frozen dinner, make sure to put the food on a plate.

Plain white china makes food look more attractive, because the colors of the food aren’t fighting with the pattern on the plate.

When serving chicken or turkey breasts or bone-less pork chops, cut them at a slight angle into an odd number of slices and fan them out on a serving platter or individual plates, says Thompson. By doing this you fill the plate, making the portion look larger.

Make it flatFlattening boneless, skin-

less chicken breasts makes them larger, making you feel like you’re eating a heartier portion – when you’re not, says Thompson. It also makes them thinner, which reduces cooking time. Filled chicken breasts, when sliced and arranged on your dinner plate, make for an elegant presentation, she adds.

Give it a sprayFood stylists often brush

food with oil before shoot-ing to make it look juicier. However, too much oil adds calories, so give your food a little spritz of cooking spray instead.

Nutrition Services director Jeremy West and nutrition coordinator Kara Goff, RD have been with District 6 for less than a year, but they, along with their nutrition team, have been in makeover mode from start, working to raise the quality of food served in nearly 30 cafeterias. “We started our own revolution. It’s time to fight back against childhood obesity.” West said. Goff points to the “menu makeover” that began at the end of 2009, resulting in new and improved menus, with more healthy choices at all levels. Among those improvements are increasing the overall nutritional integrity of menus, with lower fat and higher fiber content, a greater variety of fresh fruits and vegetables offered every day, fresher and less-processed food items. Goff said the next steps include working to add more items that are made from scratch rather than offering as much processed food, and constantly looking for ways to offer healthful foods that students can be excited about eating.

Adding more fresh, locally grown foodOther improvements in food quality come from a variety of state and local programs. One is Colorado School’s Harvest of the Month program, which features a fresh produce item each month and includes a student-education component as well as ways of incorporating the food in meals throughout the month. Another established effort is the Farm to School program. Over the last two years, the partnership has grown to support local farmers by purchasing directly from them – a program that benefits everyone, both by supporting the local economy and by giving students the freshest food possible.

What makes a healthy meal? West and Goff set a goal of reducing the percent of total calories from fat in District 6 meals. Schools are required to limit fat calories to 35 percent of the total, but with the recent menu makeover, District 6 meals top out at 30 percent, maximum. That is a significant number when one considers that the district is on track to serve more than 2.5 million meals this school year at 27 sites.

Educating students and parents about healthy habits With fresh deli offerings and salads mixed in, elementary students have three meal options for lunch each day. “Some of the feedback we’ve gotten is that they don’t want that kind of food, but it varies from school to school,” she said. “Some schools are really excited about it.” She said she is confident that, over time, increasing numbers of students will learn to embrace the healthiest foods offered.

That may be the greatest challenge facing school meal staff: Educating students on making good food choices. Parental involvement and support, especially in a time of reduced budgets for classroom initiatives, is key in getting the word out and really teaching students about nutrition. “Parents have got to be at the forefront,” Goff said.

Along with additional nutritional improvements, West said menus in the cafeterias next school year will include eye-catching images as well as nutrition information about the food so parents of young students, as well as older students themselves, can identify healthy choices before the students get in line.

Coconuts are the new “in” food, touted by natural-foods enthusiasts and chased by entrepreneurs looking for a big payday.

The fruit’s appeal rests, in part, on this versatility. A single coconut produces water, nectar, fl esh, milk and even textile fi ber. That translates into a broad slate of products. And in contrast

to another natural substance that gets transformed into a wide variety of products — petroleum — coconuts are viewed as healthy.

But are they?It depends.

Coconut water comes from young, green coconuts and contains a winning combina-tion of electrolytes, sodium and potassium.

It is very healthy.“It’s an e� ective drink for

rehydration that doesn’t bring in the added sugars and the additives,” said Dani Little, dietitian for the Whole Foods Market on Pearl Street in Boulder.

Coconut oil and milk, though, are receiving mixed reviews. Coconut fat is saturated, like the fat in lard and butter. The healthiest fats, those found in olive and canola oils, contain more monounsaturated fats, which do not raise LDL cholesterol and might even help lower it. Doctors and dietitians have warned people away from cholesterol-boosting satu-

rated fats for years. Coconut fats are not an exception.

“I’ve had clients who have added coconut oil to shakes and things like that, and their cholesterol has gone up signifi cantly,” said Jessica Crandall, a Denver dietitian.

In addition, coconut fats are high in Lauric acid, which many believe acts as an an-timicrobial, helping prevent viruses, fungi and parasites.

Even so, Little, a coconut enthusiast, doesn’t recom-mend loading up on coconut fats. Instead of buying oils or supplements, just use the whole coconut.

“If you focus on coconut oil, you lose out on the fi ber and you are focusing on a concentrated source of calories,” Little said. “It’s the whole coconut that needs to be talked about.”

COCONUT CRAZE Numbers

■ One tablespoon of coconut oil contains 120 calories and 14 grams of fat, 12.5 grams of which are saturated. A tablespoon of butter, by comparison, contains 102 calories and 11.5 grams of fat; 7.3 of those grams are saturated.

■ Coconut milk doesn’t pack quite the wallop of oil, but consume it in moderation: a quarter-cup has 240 calories and 14.5 grams of fat, with 12.5 grams of the fat saturated.
