(BPT) – Tornados, floods, hurricanes and more — severe weather is increasing around the world. Are you ready if a threatening storm hits your home?

“Storm frequency and intensity is increasing, which means it’s important for homeowners to take a proactive approach to severe weather preparedness,” said Jonathan Green, senior regional parts and service manager at Northern Tool + Equipment. “Having the right equipment and gear on hand and ready to go means your family can stay as safe and as comfortable as possible.”

Power outages and severe weather

Power to your home may be intermittent and unreliable during bad weather. In worst cases, entire power grids can go out for days or weeks at a time. Green says it’s important to prepare by having flashlights ready, stocking up on batteries and properly maintaining a generator to power necessities in a home.

If a major storm is approaching, the American Red Cross recommends unplugging small appliances to reduce potential damage from power surges that could occur. Always follow orders from authorities, who may tell you to turn off utilities to prevent damage to your home or within the community.

If you are without electricity, a portable generator can help power critical household equipment. For example, the NorthStar Portable Generator with Honda GX390 OHV Engine has a fuel-efficient engine with a digital ignition for easy startup. The control panel features 10 outlets and a 12-volt DC outlet, so you can power things like a well pump, a refrigerator and freezer, lights and electronics like TVs and cell phones to stay connected to emergency information.

When selecting a generator, it’s important to know the right size for your needs, which is based on the rated wattage of what you want to power — as not all generators have the same power draw. To do this, add up the wattage of tools, appliances and motors you will want to run at the same time, then select a generator with the running wattage rating to match or exceed the total load. Keep in mind that items with electric motors require additional surge wattage at startup that can double or triple the normal wattage requirement — so look at the surge watts required.

Green adds that having a generator is half the battle as it is just as important to use the equipment safely and maintain it properly by following generator safety and maintenance tips:

Store units properly: When not in use, keep your generator clean and covered in a safe, accessible location.

Perform maintenance: Being prepared is key, and a critical component of that is making sure your gear is ready in advance of serious weather. To that end, test the generator monthly to ensure it’s working properly. Just like any other engine, a generator requires maintenance, so keep up with the manufacturer’s recommended schedule for things like oil changes and spark plugs. Northern Tool + Equipment offers parts, service and repair expertise to ensure that generators, water pumps, and other equipment is tuned up and ready.

Use fresh gas: There is approximately a 90-day shelf life on fuel, especially in smaller quantities like what would be in the gas tank of a small engine or a small gas can. Never use bad gas in a generator or you risk damage to the engine.

Run units wisely: Place generators outdoors away from your home, but shielded from rain as much as possible. Never run generators inside or covered tightly because this can clog spark arrestors and filters resulting in a fire hazard. Additionally, not ventilating exhaust increases risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Keep it clean and level: Always run the generator on level surfaces free from debris or other items. Non-level or vibrating surfaces may result in problems including poor engine lubrication, which can cause overheating.

Don’t overdraw power: The size of your generator will dictate how many things it can power. Keep in mind, items with heating elements or motors often need double their rated wattage to start up, which is called surge.

“Having a generator can be life changing during extreme weather, and it’s important to use this equipment safely and maintain it properly so you’re ready no matter what so your family is ready when severe weather comes your way,” said Green.

(BPT) – When Phil Green, a husband and father to four children, was diagnosed with ALS in 2018, he decided he was going to dedicate his life to advocating for other people and families affected by the disease. It’s something he believes his life prior to diagnosis had prepared him to do, so there was no question or doubt that he would do everything in his power to make a difference.

“To me, I was still the same person that I had always been,” Phil says as he recounts the day he first had to ask for help buttoning up his shirt. “Suddenly, I felt like I was the only person in the world that was diagnosed. I didn’t know anyone who had ALS and there wasn’t much information to help me and my family better understand what was going to happen to me. The first thing we did was try to figure out what treatments were available to slow down the disease, and we found that there were limited options.”

ALS, which stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), eventually robs people of their ability to walk, talk, swallow and breathe. Phil’s diagnosis hasn’t stopped him from becoming an avid advocate and ally to make the ALS community’s voice heard loud and clear. Phil is one of thousands aiming to spark conversations about ALS with hopes that progress can be made to better understand and treat the disease.

Over the last three years, Phil has been actively supporting many other people with ALS and their caregivers throughout their journeys, hoping to make as big a difference as he can, while he can. Phil is also on the boards of various ALS organizations across the country. For example, a former football player at the University of Washington, Phil is on Team Gleason’s Board of Directors, which is a nonprofit founded by former New Orleans Saints player, Steve Gleason, and also part of the patient-led organization, I AM ALS. What’s needed, he says, is more attention to the disease, research and funds to bring new treatment options forward. Currently, there is no cure for ALS.

ALS is a relentlessly progressive neurodegenerative disease. For reasons that are not well understood in people with ALS, the motor neurons that allow the brain to communicate with muscles throughout the body begin to deteriorate. People with ALS experience a loss of muscle control, and ultimately, death. Many individuals suffer from significant symptoms and impaired ability to function independently as early as six months from diagnosis or 18 months from symptom onset.

“From my point of view, the more people that know about ALS and how uniquely cruel it is, the more support we can get for broader funding and more compassion for the disease,” Phil explains. “I feel like too many people are just okay with us progressing and dying because the disease has mystified scientists. The more researchers we can have focused on the mechanisms of the disease and the identification of biomarkers, the greater the chance of actually moving forward in a disease that historically has not seen much knowledge gain.”

Phil has had a lasting impact on many touched by ALS, including people with the disease, caregivers, researchers and regulatory authorities. He has even impacted those with no connection to ALS until they met him. Take Dan White, for example, who befriended Phil when they bonded over their love of sports. Almost a decade later, when Phil and others in the ALS community began to raise awareness for ALS through Amylyx Pharmaceutical’s INKEDforALS.com campaign by stamping temporary tattoos on themselves, Dan took it to the next level and tattooed the symbol on his arm — for life.

Reflecting on the decision he made one year ago, Dan shared, “I did it for many reasons, the primary one being selfish. I wanted to see the symbol every day because even if I felt I was having a bad day, I could look down and remember that my day is not so bad. My friend has been dealt a much worse hand in life, and he’s making the most out of it. The world needs to know that people as strong as Phil exist.”

Phil and Dan ask that others join in to help shine a light on ALS so that we can be a step closer to advancing the science and potentially disrupting the disease’s course.

“It’s unacceptable that when Lou Gehrig made a speech 80 years ago, he felt we would be able to cure this in his lifetime. We need to move at what we call the ‘ALS clock’ and help save the people living with the disease today.”

ALS remains a devastating disease, but some researchers believe this is a hopeful and exciting time in ALS research with many promising clinical trials and investigational products being tested at a faster pace than ever.

“I really enjoy doing what I do,” Phil says. “The level of satisfaction that comes with using my voice to help drive initiatives that the ALS community really need would not have been possible if I didn’t receive an ALS diagnosis.”

An unmet need continues to exist in ALS, but advocates like Phil continue to spark meaningful conversations that inspire hope and have the potential to lead to life-changing advances.

(BPT) – If you’re seeking a purposeful and rewarding career that allows you complete freedom to make your own decisions, you may have thought about becoming an entrepreneur.

Those who are interested often wonder the best time to become an entrepreneur. According to a recent survey commissioned by Herbalife Nutrition and conducted by OnePoll, the best time might be right before you hit the big 3-0, around 28 years old.

Some people say there are barriers keeping them from quitting their 9-to-5 and reaching their full potential. Fortunately, you can push through those barriers with the right strategies and mindset.

Breaking down the barriers

Entrepreneurs can encounter numerous difficulties when they embark on a new venture. The survey found that 63% of millennials and Gen Zers believe their generations face unique challenges when they try to start their own business, compared to older generations. However, with some hard work, perseverance and a little luck, many young entrepreneurs have created sustainable businesses that allow them to live life on their terms.

If you’re looking to become an entrepreneur, here are some of the barriers you may face and how you might solve them:

1. Being judged for your age

Some people debate whether age is a barrier to entrepreneurial success. More than half of respondents were concerned people wouldn’t take them seriously because of their young age.

Others said that their youth gives them a competitive advantage, claiming it could make them better at adapting to new technology and exploring fresh ideas.

Business success can depend on various factors, and age will only get in your way if you let it. The younger you are, the more energy and passion you can bring to your venture. Younger people also have a better ability to rebound after a setback, according to Business Insider.

“If working with entrepreneurs over the past 41 years has taught us anything, it’s that regardless of your age, the difference between success and failure is often good business fundamentals, the willingness to learn, adapt and work hard, and find a passion for your work,” said John DeSimone, president of Herbalife Nutrition. “There’s no time like the present.”

2. A lack of finances

No matter how dynamic or big your idea is, it’s hard to turn it into a business without money. Forty-three percent of respondents said a lack of start-up funds held them back from becoming an entrepreneur.

If you’re recently out of school or just starting out in your career, you may not have a lot of extra cash on hand. That’s especially true if you’re not making much money in your current job or are still paying off student loans.

Starting a business can be expensive, but that doesn’t mean you need to have the funds up-front to make it happen. Do your research because some organizations offer low start-up costs, so you can get the products, materials and resources you need to start your business on a low budget.

Be careful about going into debt to open a business, and don’t do that if you don’t have to. Make sure to think through a business plan to understand when you can realistically expect to turn a profit and how much expense you can tolerate.

3. Feeling overwhelmed

The survey also found that 31% of new entrepreneurs get overwhelmed when starting a business. It’s clear why: They often have a lot to do and a lot to think about the moment they decide to hit the ground running. Some end up getting so overwhelmed that they just quit altogether.

You can overcome the overwhelm of starting a business by taking care of yourself, writing down your objectives, and keeping your focus on the process, not the outcome.

Learning to ignore the naysayers and negative thoughts is also important. Surrounding yourself with people who can help support you through the ups and downs is also crucial.

“As young entrepreneurs learn how to manage the daily rigors of starting their own business, it’s imperative to surround themselves with a supportive community including mentors and those who will continuously push them to the next level,” DeSimone said.

Paving the path toward success

Starting a business is hard work, but with a bit of grit, perseverance and luck, you can create a venture that’s profitable and fits your lifestyle.

(BPT) – Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) offer free or low-cost health coverage for children and teens up to age 19. Coverage includes check-ups and regular doctor visits, immunizations, emergency care, dentist visits, eye exams and other care that children may need, including mental and behavioral health services.

Children as young as 2 can be diagnosed with a mental disorder. Mental disorders among children are described as serious changes in the way children typically learn, behave or handle their emotions, which cause distress and problems getting through the day. Some examples of childhood mental disorders include attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety and depression. Mental health issues can shape how a child behaves and learns. And these issues can make managing emotions more difficult for the child.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the number of children experiencing mental health disorders. Prior to COVID-19, 1 in 6 kids in the U.S. from 2 to 8 years of age had been diagnosed with a mental disorder, developmental disorder or behavioral disorder, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A Harvard University study found that children experienced more clinically significant symptoms of anxiety, depression, hyperactivity and inattention between November 2020 and January 2021. The good news is that once diagnosed, mental disorders can be treated and managed to improve a child’s everyday life.

There are resources available to help children and families who may need mental health support. Medicaid and CHIP coverage includes mental and behavioral health screenings and services delivered in-person or via telehealth. Eligibility is dependent on household size and income, and varies by state. On average, children in a family of four earning up to $50,000 a year or more may qualify for Medicaid or CHIP. Families can enroll in these programs at any time throughout the year.

COVID-19 has negatively impacted children’s mental health by changing their routines, how they learn and how they socialize, according to the CDC. Medicaid, CHIP or other insurance can help children access mental health support services to help them through these times.

Catch up on missed care

Now is also a good time to catch up on care and necessary preventive services your child may have missed because of COVID-19, like vaccinations, routine childhood screenings and well-child visits. With Medicaid and CHIP coverage, parents can schedule preventive visits for their children to make sure that children are growing and developing normally, including meeting important developmental milestones. Regular dental check-ups and vision screenings are also essential to a child’s overall health. It is especially important for school-aged children to get caught up on missed care, so they are ready for in-person learning. Your provider will tell you how to be safe and how to get important care to protect your child’s health now and for the future.

To learn more about Medicaid and CHIP, visit InsureKidsNow.gov or call 1-877-KIDS-NOW (1-877-543-7669) to speak with an enrollment specialist.

(BPT) – With health and wellness top of mind for many Americans, fitness has become a top priority. Whether you’re extremely active or just starting on a wellness journey, incorporating wholesome, nutritious foods into your diet plan can help give your body the fuel it needs to thrive.

“Studies suggest that eating a healthy breakfast before a workout improves your performance both inside the gym and out,” says Marissa Meshulam, registered dietitian nutritionist and founder of MPM Nutrition. “By filling up on vitamins and nutrients first thing in the morning, you set yourself up for success throughout the day.”

Meshulam shares tips for creating a filling and fueling breakfast that supports an active lifestyle, helps you maximize your workout potential and extends your energy throughout the day:

Start with hydration

Your body craves hydration after sleeping all night, so start your day by drinking a tall glass of water. Consider making it a habit to drink water while you wait for your morning cup of coffee to brew. While coffee and other beverages such as fruit juice can help you hydrate, it’s important to be mindful of their sugar content, as that can cause blood glucose levels to spike, causing a short-lived feeling of energy before a mid-morning crash.

Choose nutrient-dense foods

Give your body a wellness boost by making breakfasts that include ingredients loaded with essential vitamins and minerals. Many berries, for example, are full of vitamins and antioxidants and pair well with a breakfast dish. As a base, choose nutrient-packed eggs to act as the star of the plate. Keep in mind, not all eggs are created equal. Eggland’s Best eggs are the only eggs that provide superior taste, freshness and nutrition compared to ordinary eggs, such as more than double the Vitamin B12 and Omega-3s, 10 times more Vitamin E and six times more Vitamin D. These vitamins perfectly compliment an active lifestyle, as they can help boost energy and aid in muscle recovery after a strenuous workout.

Add in healthy carbs

Healthy carbs are also important to keep in mind for a fueling breakfast, especially if the day calls for a more intense workout. Carbs help you sustain energy for longer so the body and mind can focus and excel. Some healthy carbs to try adding to your breakfast include whole grain cereal or bread, bananas and sweet potatoes. Grains like quinoa, oats and buckwheat are also good options. Overnight oats, protein pancakes and egg bakes are all popular breakfast options that fuel an active lifestyle by helping you stay satisfied throughout the day.

(BPT) – Arthritis is a common health condition in the United States, affecting one in four adults according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Characterized by the inflammation of one or more joints, arthritis can cause joint pain, stiffness and swelling that can limit one’s functionality and impact daily activities.¹ May is recognized as National Arthritis Awareness Month to bring attention to the widespread impact that arthritis has on adults, children and families.

These Changes Can Make a Difference for Those Living with Arthritis

Two of the most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). For those living with OA or RA, these changes could help improve daily life with arthritis:

• Do simple exercises: Exercise a few times a week to keep your joints as functional as possible. Find an activity you enjoy doing, such as taking a walk or swimming in a pool.² Be sure to check with your doctor about what exercises are right and safe for you.
• Improve your sleep: According to the patient organization, CreakyJoints, there are many lifestyle changes you can make that may help improve your sleep, even if you suffer from arthritis pain. You may want to try avoiding caffeine in the evening, reducing screen time before bed, eating lighter meals at night and keeping your bedroom cool, dark and quiet.³
• Choose foods that fight inflammation: The Arthritis Foundation says that, while there is no miracle diet for arthritis, there are foods that can help fight inflammation and improve joint symptoms. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts and beans but low in processed foods and saturated fat is not only great for overall health, but can also help manage disease activity.⁴
• Lose any amount of extra weight: According to The Osteoarthritis Action Alliance, extra weight greatly increases joint pain and damages the cartilage of the joints, especially in the hips and knees. Losing excess weight, even in small amounts, can help reduce joint pain, avoid joint surgery and become more active.⁵

Speak to your Physician about Medicines for Pain Management

In addition to lifestyle adjustments, a range of medicines are available to help relieve arthritis symptoms. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen, are frequently used to ease inflammation and pain caused by arthritis.⁶

“While it is important to have balanced pain management with arthritis, it is crucial to speak to your physician often and openly about your daily lifestyle. That way, your physician can help personalize your treatment which may include NSAIDs or other types of pain management techniques,” said Hasan Abed, MD, Anesthesiologist and Pain Management Specialist, Advanced Pain Management located in Timonium, Maryland.

If you take NSAIDs, it is important to talk to your healthcare professional because as many as one in four regular NSAID users are at risk to develop stomach ulcers – sores on the lining of the stomach caused by stomach acid.⁷ In addition to taking high doses of NSAIDs, other risk factors include taking NSAIDs with aspirin, or while taking corticosteroids or blood thinners, having had a stomach ulcer in the past and being older than 65 years of age. If you have more than two of these risk factors, you are considered at high risk for stomach ulcers.

Gastroprotection with NSAIDs can help lower the risk of stomach ulcers

Over-the-counter and prescription NSAIDs come in many different forms. They are available topically, as a lotion or gel and can be taken by mouth.⁶ Some NSAIDs include a gastroprotective medicine to help reduce the risk of getting a stomach ulcer.⁸

“Because every case of arthritis is different, it is important to talk to your physician about pain management and the potential risk of stomach ulcers if you take NSAIDs,” said Dr. Abed. “If appropriate, your doctor may suggest you take a medicine that can lower the risk of getting a stomach ulcer when taking an NSAID.”

(BPT) – As one of the world’s top paratriathletes, Amy Dixon is always looking forward. Even though an autoimmune disorder has taken away most of her ability to see, she has extraordinary vision for reaching her goals.

This summer, she’ll head to Tokyo. For Amy, it’s an incredible journey that would have seemed unimaginable two decades earlier.

Vision troubles come to light

Amy first noticed her vision problems as a 22-year-old college student. She struggled to see clearly in a darkened room. Driving at night, she failed to notice oncoming cars. The signs were clear that something was wrong with her eye health, but Amy wasn’t convinced.

“I had 20/20 vision as a kid, so I dismissed the problems I was having as being related to some other condition like migraine,” says Amy, a migraine sufferer since she was a teen. “I was ignoring what was obvious — that something was wrong with my eyes.”

After scheduling an appointment with an ophthalmologist, Amy learned she had uveitis, which is a form of inflammation inside the eye. Amy’s doctor told her that the disease had already put her eyesight in serious jeopardy. He said that 70% of her peripheral vision had been lost and she would need to begin treatment immediately or risk going blind within 10 years.

“Unfortunately, I waited too long before having my eyes examined and uveitis had already attacked my vision. When the diagnosis sunk in, I thought I was destined to going blind,” adds Amy.

Becoming her own advocate

Rallying behind a forward-looking attitude that would ultimately become her calling card, Amy confronted her condition head-on. Working with her doctor, she began an aggressive treatment regimen. While uveitis would eventually take 98% of her vision, the treatments succeeded in slowing down progression of the disease.

A new diagnosis and the athlete reemerges

With her uveitis in remission, Amy received a second vision diagnosis: she now had developed glaucoma as a result of her treatment. Resilient and determined to keep her life moving forward, Amy began treating her glaucoma.

Along the way, she reengaged in sports and took up swimming, a favorite activity for the former competitive high school swimmer. When a friend introduced her to triathlons (swimming, running and biking), Amy was hooked. She completed her first triathlon in 2013 and today, she is the reigning ITU Aquathlon World Champion and a seven-time ITU Triathlon Gold Medalist. When the competition in Tokyo starts in August, Amy will race toward the finish line the same way she approaches life: by overcoming the setbacks in her path. It’s an important lesson she is eager to share.

“There is always a way forward,” says Amy. “I encourage people to maximize the strengths they have and find creative ways to do the things they want. It may not be the way you wish for, but if you are open to learning, you can do great things.”

Amy’s prescription for better eye health

Amy views her journey as a cautionary tale and she encourages everyone to be proactive in taking care of their eyes.

“Uveitis progressed quickly in impacting my vision because I waited too long to see a doctor and wasn’t diligent about getting my eyes examined annually,” says Amy. “Pay attention to your eyes. If you suspect you have a vision problem, then see an eye doctor right away.”

As she continues to manage her glaucoma, Amy also urges people, particularly young adults, to be wary of a disease that can sneak up without symptoms and is the leading cause of irreversible blindness.

“A dilated eye exam could save your sight,” says Amy. “The power is in your hands, so be your own advocate for achieving better eye health.”

If you’ve been diagnosed with glaucoma or are caring for someone with glaucoma, a great resource is “Understanding and Living with Glaucoma.” This free booklet is published by the Glaucoma Research Foundation, with support from Aerie Pharmaceuticals. It can be downloaded or ordered (in English and Spanish) at www.glaucoma.org/booklet.
