(BPT) – As you age, it may be challenging to keep your life feeling both balanced and positive. For example, keeping up with your own health and nutrition, changes to your professional career, and spending time with friends and family can all lead to stress, which may have a negative impact on your overall feeling of well-being. Fortunately, you can help support a well-balanced lifestyle by making more positive choices around nutrition and daily activity.

Here are five things you can try to improve the balance in your daily life.

1. Sneak in more protein throughout your day

Protein is considered to be one of the most important nutrients as you get older, yet up to 44% of adults over 60 do not meet minimum protein requirements, according to The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging. You can increase your daily protein intake with snacks like nuts, seeds and Greek yogurt, but it can still be challenging to get enough protein through normal diet.

One easy and delicious way to add more protein to your day is the new BOOST High Protein Cinnabon Bakery Inspired Flavored Nutritional Drink, which contains 20 grams of high-quality protein to help maintain muscle, plus 27 vitamins and minerals to help meet your daily nutritional needs — with no artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors. Protein plays an important role in muscle health, bone health and immune function, so stock up on these drinks and enjoy daily.

2. Try new recipes

Visit your local grocery store or farmers market regularly to stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables, which provide vitamins, fiber and other nutrients that your body needs. Have fun experimenting with new recipes using these fresh ingredients, and you may discover all kinds of interesting new textures and flavors.

For example, try this easy and tasty recipe using fresh fruit, Greek yogurt and BOOST High Protein Cinnabon Bakery Inspired Flavored Nutritional Drink:

Mango Lassi Inspired Cinnabon BOOST Parfait

Ingredients:
1 whole mango
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 bottle of chilled BOOST High Protein Cinnabon Bakery Inspired Flavored Nutritional Drink

Directions:
Peel and dice mangos.
Add mango, yogurt and BOOST High Protein Cinnabon Bakery Inspired Flavored Nutritional Drink to blender.
Blend on high for 30-40 seconds or until a thick texture is achieved.

3. Explore the outdoors

Fresh air can feel invigorating, and getting exposure to even a small amount of sunshine every day gives you vitamin D, which is known to help boost your mood and energy. A simple way to enjoy the outdoors is to take a daily walk, but if you want more variety, consider new hobbies that bring you out into Mother Nature.

Taking part in outdoor activities can make a real difference when it comes to finding balance and enjoyment each day. Swimming, biking, hiking, yoga, gardening and more — whatever pastimes that get you moving outdoors, bring you joy, and put a smile on your face are worth spending time doing.

4. Plan social times

Having strong social ties and meaningful relationships increases quality of life and adds balance and meaning to your days. It’s not about quantity of connections, it’s about quality. Make time to socialize with friends, families and people in your community.

Some ideas include joining a book club or game group, planning weekly phone chats with friends, meeting for monthly lunches with family, and signing up for continuing education classes in subjects of interest or groups at your local community center or church.

5. Prioritize rest

A balanced day isn’t just about eating well and moving your body. You need to make rest a top priority, especially as you age, so your mind and body can properly recover. This means getting at least seven hours of sleep a night, as well as taking breaks during the day if needed. There’s nothing wrong with a quick nap, so listen to your body.

Using these tips, you can start finding better balance in your life and supporting your wellness journey by taking positive steps that help you feel your best, every day.

(BPT) – If you’re one of the 53 million Americans who are caregivers for a relative or friend, you already know it’s a challenging job that often goes unrecognized. But you also know something others may not: Caring for a friend or family member can be one of the most rewarding things you’ve ever done in your life. You’re spending every day giving them the personalized care and attention they deserve. You’re doing for them what you hope someone will do for you one day when you need it — showing love and compassion through your everyday actions.

To make the most of your time caring for your loved one, it’s important to care for yourself as well, so you’ll be at your best and able to enjoy the time you have with them as much as possible. Fortunately, there are many positive steps you can take to not only get rest and respite when you need it, but also to embrace your role as the most important person in their life right now.

Here are tips and resources to support your own self-care, and to reaffirm the important work you do every day.

Find a community of caregivers

Whether it’s an online group or in-person support, being able to communicate and share with other caregivers who understand your daily experiences can help you keep your spirits up when things are difficult and celebrate when things are going well. Ask your hospital’s social work office for referrals, or check out the Administration for Community Living at ACL.gov and the Family Caregiver Alliance at Caregiver.org to find support groups. PowerfulToolsForCaregivers.org is another great resource.

Reframe your time with your loved one

When was the last time you and the person you care for just sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine, played a favorite game, or watched a movie together? Make time to do things that you both enjoy. Look for solutions if previous activities are difficult. If reading a favorite book is hard for your loved one, read aloud to them — or try an audiobook so you can both take a break and just listen.

Take care of yourself

You know you have more energy and enthusiasm when you take good care of yourself, but it’s all too easy to deprioritize your own needs when you’re a caregiver. Make sure you’re getting a full night’s sleep, eating well and moving your body at least a few days a week.

Caregiving can be physically taxing, which is especially difficult if you already experience pain, such as osteoarthritis (OA), the most common type of arthritis. If you experience stiffness and pain in your joints, you may find it hard to get moving some days. To relieve OA pain, try Voltaren Arthritis Pain Gel, the first prescription-strength, over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory gel that targets arthritis pain at the source. The active ingredient in Voltaren Gel, diclofenac sodium, is an effective medicine clinically proven to relieve joint pain due to arthritis. You apply it directly at the site of arthritis pain to deliver pain relief in the hand, wrist, elbow, foot, ankle or knee.

Share the care

Find ways to share caregiving tasks with friends, family members or community groups such as your house of worship or an organization dedicated to the condition of your loved one. Be specific when asking for help. For example: “I need help filling out some forms,” “Can you pick up these five things at the grocery store tomorrow?” or “Could you visit with her for two hours while I go run some errands?” Try to include friends, family and support group members in celebrations like birthdays and holidays, as the more social interactions you and your loved one have, the more you both will benefit.

Don’t do it alone

If you need more assistance than friends or family can provide, seek help from trained home health care aides or other professionals. Your loved one’s insurance may cover these and other services, so it’s worth contacting Medicare.gov and any supplemental insurance they may have. You can also visit the Eldercare Locator for help with transportation, meals, adult day care and more.

Celebrate the important and valuable work you do every day, and know you are appreciated.

(BPT) – Did you know that in 2019 up to 200 pharmaceuticals were detected in the surface water, ground water and drinking water in the U.S., according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development? Conventional wastewater treatment plants are neither designed nor equipped to fully remove pharmaceuticals, which is how these substances end up in ground and surface water.

What can you do to dispose of medications properly and help prevent these potent chemicals from polluting the environment?

While 61% of Americans are concerned about flushed painkillers polluting drinking water and public waterways, 1 out of 4 admit to flushing leftover prescriptions down the drain, and another 25% reported throwing unused medications in the trash, according to a study by Stericycle. If you are concerned about the environment, you can be part of the solution by taking advantage of new ways to safely dispose of unused medications.

Here are practical do’s and don’ts to follow when discarding old medications or other household drugs:

DO: Regularly clean out your medicine cabinet. Are there unused medications you no longer need? Expired over-the-counter medications or prescriptions? Make it a habit to regularly inventory your medications and remove expired, unwanted and unneeded ones for disposal.

DON’T: Hold on to prescriptions you are no longer advised to take by your doctor. The Stericycle study found that Americans keep unused prescriptions either for future use (30%), because they fear their illness reoccurring (32%) or because they don’t know how to dispose of them (nearly 15%). However, keeping unused medications in your home can be unsafe and increases risks for accidental ingestion or potential substance misuse.

DO: Use one of these safe disposal methods for discarding unused medications in your home:

• Use the Deterra Drug Deactivation and Disposal System, a safe medication disposal pouch that can be used at home. It is the safest, most effective choice used to destroy and properly dispose of unused, unwanted and expired over-the-counter and prescription medications. It permanently deactivates drugs in many forms including pills, patches, liquids, films and creams — with the simple addition of tap water. Easily available on Amazon, and in their online store, Deterra’s proprietary activated carbon renders drugs inert and harmless, and its plant-based packaging and non-toxic ingredients prevent harmful chemicals from entering landfills and water supplies.
• Find a drug take-back program in your community. These collection sites or drop boxes may be located at a nearby hospital, clinic pharmacy or law enforcement agency. Sometimes you may also find pop-up drug collection events being held throughout the year. Be sure to ask what types of medications the program will accept, as some will not take liquids.

DON’T: Flush medications down the toilet, put them down the drain or throw them in the trash. While some sources may advise flushing pills or mixing meds with coffee grounds or kitty litter to make them unappealing to potential poachers, these methods do not render active chemicals inert and allow harmful ingredients to make their way into the water and soil after being discarded.

“It’s up to all of us — hospitals, clinics, families and individuals to ensure that we’re preventing medications from polluting our environment,” said Nancy Devine, chief operating officer at Verde Environmental Technologies Inc. “The good news is, it’s not hard to do the right thing to keep hazardous substances from harming the planet.”

(BPT) – When patients hear that they’ll need anesthesia to undergo surgery or a procedure, they’ll likely start to worry. According to a study by the National Institutes of Health, 88% percent of patients experience preanesthetic fear and in some cases that fear even causes anxious patients to cancel surgeries.

A recent American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) Foundation study on public perceptions of anesthesia found that adults worry more about their children receiving anesthesia than themselves.

“AANA study respondents reported, however that an in-person discussion of the anesthesia delivery plan could reduce those concerns,” said AANA President Dina F. Velocci, DNP, CRNA, APRN. “Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists provide this with holistic, patient-centered care before, during and after anesthesia delivery.”

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) are anesthesia professionals who safely administer more than 50 million anesthetics to patients each year in the United States. They make up more than 50% of the U.S. anesthesia workforce and specialize in airway management, intubation, advanced patient assessment and patient safety. Beyond administering safe anesthesia, they enhance the patient experience.

Nurse anesthetists spend time with patients before, during and after surgeries, providing continuous, holistic care with compassion. They are committed to patient safety and are members of one of the most trusted professions, according to Gallup. This trust and dedication to patient care has been a hallmark of CRNA anesthesia delivery since the profession started when nurses provided anesthesia to wounded soldiers on the Civil War battlefields.

“CRNAs are highly educated and skilled anesthesia experts who deliver specialized care to all patients – from infants to seniors – for every type of procedure in all types of facilities,” said Velocci. “Every day, CRNAs show up as health care leaders who are able to provide in-the-moment personalized care in mindful ways that address the patient’s needs physically and emotionally.”

This is true in the operating room as well as in health care systems. With years of critical care practice before entering nurse anesthesiology training, CRNAs have a hands-on understanding of how health care is delivered from start to finish, allowing them to calm patients’ fears of anesthesia and surgery, leading to better post-procedure outcomes.

“CRNAs are always at a patient’s side—from the moment we meet the patient in pre-op, through their surgery and in post-op,” said Velocci. “Patients can rest assured that a CRNA is serving as their advocate during surgical procedures.”

Experienced anesthesia providers

As advanced practice registered nurses with specialized education and clinical experience in anesthesia delivery, CRNAs are trained to handle all aspects of anesthesia care. CRNAs have a minimum of 7 to 8½ years of clinical experience and training before they are licensed to deliver anesthesia. They are qualified to make independent judgments regarding all aspects of anesthesia care based on their education, licensure and certification. CRNAs are the only anesthesia professionals with critical care experience before beginning formal anesthesia education.

Because of the rigorous academic and clinical requirements for their recertification, CRNAs are well versed in the latest advancements so that patients receive the best, safest care possible.

Where do they practice?

Nurse anesthetists collaborate with surgeons, dentists, podiatrists, physician anesthesiologists, and other qualified health care professionals to provide anesthesia.

You’ll find nurse anesthetists at hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, clinics, dentists’ offices, the military, public health service and veteran health care facilities.

In rural areas, CRNAs are crucial to providing medical care, providing more than 80% of the anesthesia in rural counties. Half of U.S. rural hospitals use a CRNA-only model for obstetric care. Because of the presence of a CRNA to provide safe pain management, patients are saved long drives of 75 miles or more to access the care they need.

The value of CRNAs

CRNAs know what works, what does not and what needs to be done to improve the U.S. health care system. They see firsthand the results of racism and inequality, poverty, violence, substance abuse, unequal education, and inadequate mental health care. Nurse anesthetists are critical thinkers who approach these health care issues with the patient care continuum in mind.

CRNAs are also efficient and cost-effective. CRNAs deliver anesthesia, avoid duplication of services, promote efficient anesthesia providers’ utilization and reduce cost. As the U.S. continues to experience limited health care resources, CRNAs are vital to continuing anesthesia in all settings.

“CRNAs provide courageous, compassionate care wherever they are needed,” said Velocci. “Without nurse anesthetists, patients would lose their primary advocate, and our country would lose part of its largest health profession.”

(BPT) – Your dog is a part of your family and that means their health and wellbeing, including preventing parasitic diseases like Lyme and heartworm, is a priority. Lyme disease is one of the most common tick-borne illnesses transmitted to dogs, and data shows that it is a growing threat to dogs in the United States.¹ In 2021, one in 20 dogs tested across the United States was positive for Lyme infection.²

This staggering statistic can give any dog owner pause. It’s important to learn more about the dangers of Lyme disease to ensure you’re doing all that you can to take the best care of your pup.

How do dogs get Lyme disease?

Lyme disease is passed to both humans and animals by a small black-legged deer tick infected with the bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi. Deer ticks are found in forests or wooded areas, grassy fields and marshy areas near rivers, lakes or oceans. People or animals may be bitten by deer ticks anytime they are outside in these environments, including in their own backyards.³ Ticks can also be carried into your home on clothing or pets and then attach to others so it’s important to carefully examine outerwear like coats or backpacks and your dog or cat.⁴

When are deer ticks active?

In many parts of the United States, ticks are a concern year-round. Most people don’t realize adult deer ticks can be active in the fall, winter and early spring when ambient air temperatures exceed 40 degrees Fahrenheit.⁵ It’s important to take precautions to protect your dog all year long.

How can you protect your dog from Lyme disease?

One of the best strategies for pet owners to protect their dogs against Lyme disease is to prioritize year-round prevention through the use of tick control products like Simparica Trio^® (sarolaner, moxidectin, and pyrantel chewable tablets) and by vaccination.

Simparica Trio is the first and only combination product demonstrated to prevent infections that may cause Lyme disease by killing deer (black-legged) ticks. It is the only chewable proven to kill five kinds of ticks*, fleas, roundworms** and hookworms***, and also protect against heartworm disease.

Combination treatments like Simparica Trio make it easy for busy pet owners to stay on top of their dog’s health — one chew once a month will protect pups against these major health threats. Learn more about Simparica Trio at SimparicaTrio.com or talk to your veterinarian, who should always be your first call when it comes to decisions for your pet’s health care.

What are the symptoms of Lyme disease in dogs?

The challenge for dog owners is that the disease can be difficult to detect because the symptoms of Lyme disease can fluctuate or be non-specific. An additional complicating factor is that ticks can be very small and easily missed. Pet owners are often shocked when their dog tests positive for Lyme disease, because they don’t remember seeing a tick or signs of their dog being sick. Some symptoms of Lyme disease that dog owners should be on the lookout for include:⁵

• Visible symptoms of lameness (an inability to properly use one or more limbs)
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Joint swelling
• Fatigue
• Loss of appetite

If you notice any of these symptoms, see your veterinarian so your dog can be tested for Lyme disease. Left untreated, Lyme disease can be deadly or lead to damage to the kidneys, nervous system and heart.⁵

When should you check your dog for ticks?

Even if your dog has been vaccinated and is on a tick control product, it’s important to have an annual screening for Lyme disease, and do a tick check after spending time outdoors, especially in grassy or wooded areas. If you find a tick, remove it as soon as possible before the tick has a chance to potentially transmit the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, which typically takes 24-48 hours after the tick attaches itself to your dog.^5,6

How do you remove a tick if you find one on your dog?

Use fine-tipped tweezers to grab the tick as close to the skin as possible. Using steady and even pressure, pull the tick straight up, being careful not to twist or jerk. Once the tick is removed, clean the bite area and your hands with soap and water, or rubbing alcohol.⁷ For more detailed tick removal instructions, visit ZoetisPetCare.com.

Are there treatments if your dog tests positive?

If your dog tests positive for Lyme disease, your veterinarian can advise you on treatment options, including antibiotics.⁶ However, treatment can be costly and Lyme disease can have lasting effects on your pup for the rest of his life. Preventative measures, such as getting a Lyme disease vaccine and giving Simparica Trio monthly to control ticks, can help prevent infection in the first place.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR SIMPARICA TRIO:

Use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures. Simparica Trio contains sarolaner, a member of the isoxazoline class, which has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions including tremors, ataxia, and seizures in dogs with or without a history of neurologic disorders. The safe use of Simparica Trio has not been evaluated in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. The most frequently reported adverse reactions in clinical trials were vomiting and diarrhea. See full Prescribing Information at SimparicaTrioPI.com.

*Lone Star tick (Amblyomma americanum), Gulf Coast tick (Amblyomma maculatum), American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis), black-legged or deer tick (Ixodes scapularis), and brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus)
**Roundworms (Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina)
***Hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum and Uncinaria stenocephala)

(BPT) – Retinol is often praised as a holy grail of a skincare ingredient, but there’s a lot of confusion about the best ways to use retinol for maximum effectiveness without irritation. Understanding retinol better and having common questions answered can help you use this ingredient so your skin can look its best.

“Retinol is a prized skincare ingredient because it is well studied to treat several skin conditions,” said dermatologist Dr. Chris Tomassian. “Because it works by increasing cell turnover, it has the ability to improve skin texture and hyperpigmentation as well as help treat and prevent acne. Due to its ability to increase collagen and elastin production, it also helps with fine lines and wrinkles and can improve scarring.

“Luckily, you don’t need a prescription for retinol that actually works, nor do you have to break the bank. Retinol is available in a variety of drugstore products, but it can be confusing to decide the most effective options and best practices for use,” he said.

Tomassian wants to help by sharing his expertise and answering the top questions he hears from patients so everyone has the facts.

If skin goes dry, should you say goodbye?

Some people may experience minor drying at first, but this is typically nothing to worry about. This indicates the product is working and the skin cells are turning over faster. Dryness should subside as your skin adjusts. Keep in mind when selecting a retinol that some products are created to have little to no irritation, so you might consider trying those first.

Should retinol be the first or last layer?

It can depend on your skin’s unique needs, but it’s typical to apply retinol first and then layer a moisturizer on afterward. If your skin is dryer, consider applying the moisturizer first and then the retinol product. You can also sandwich your retinol product between two layers of moisturizer.

A little or a lot — what’s the right amount?

Too much can be irritating and too little won’t be effective. Try perfectly pre-measured doses like RoC RETINOL CORREXION Night Serum Capsules available at Target. Made with a high concentration of pure RoC Retinol and Antioxidants, this clinically-proven serum is sealed tight in a 100% biodegradable capsule for optimal freshness and potency.

Are one-day results a reality?

Results can vary by product and usage. For RoC’s Retinol Night Serum Capsules, in one night, 97% of users had visibly reduced lines and wrinkles. In four weeks, 100% continued to show significant reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles, 100% had visibly firmer skin, and 100% had more supple, hydrated skin.

Morning, noon or night — when’s the best time to use retinol?

This is dependent on the retinol you’re using. Some forms of retinol, like tretinoin, are not UV stable which means they are inactivated by the sun.

To be safe, dermatologists recommend using them at night before bed. This allows the product to work on the delicate skin on your face while you are sleeping and be most effective when you’re out of the daylight.

Should your retinol routine take a summer break?

Retinol may make your skin more susceptible to sunburn, but that doesn’t mean you need to stop it during summer months or other periods you’ll be spending more time outdoors. Just be sure to apply SPF 30 or higher, and you may want to keep sunglasses and a hat handy for extra protection if needed. “The hype is real about retinol, but to get the maximum benefits you need to use the right amount in the right way,” Tomassian said.
