Get The Simple Answers вЂњSometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple,вЂќ said the affable Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known to you and me as Dr. Seuss. The great thing about the sometimes whacky writing of Dr. Seuss is that in his own ingeniously upside-down and inscrutably hilarious way, he was usually right! Medical problems can seem complicated too, but often times the answers are simple. At least they can be when you ask your question to the right doctors. You will have your opportunity to do just that on May 13 at the Successful Aging Forum where leading physicians from our area will be on hand to answer your health and wellness questions. Our physician panel will include: John W.

With that statistic in mind, Bon Secours DePaul Medical Center recently invested in a state-of-the-art, fully digital cardiac catheterization unit. вЂњThis new unit will play a critical role in assisting physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with acute conditions, such as a sudden clot within a coronary artery. The new unit will also help us treat patients with chronic heart conditions like atherosclerosis, the build-up of plaque that affects blood flow in arteries,вЂќ said Kochicheril Moni, MD, cardiologist with Cardiovascular Specialists, Inc. The GEВ® Innova 2210IQ imaging system complements the medical centerвЂ™s fully digital vascular laboratory and provides the clinical team affiliated with the Heart and Vascular Institute access to the latest in technology. The fully digital cardiovascular and interventional X-ray imaging system allows for better visualization of hard-to-see blood vessels and anatomy with greater clarity, even in larger patients who are generally more challenging to image. In addition, by using a fully digital imaging system, the new system will reduce the patientвЂ™s overall exposure to radiation as compared to conventional fluoroscopy systems. вЂњThe images produced by the new system are so detailed that physicians are able to see clearly enough to safely maneuver small medical Sustainable Living Fair There are some old adages that hold true regardless of time. One of those timeless sayings is actually proving to be more true with the passage of time: вЂњyou are what you eat.вЂќ Some people say that the food we eat has changed more in the past 100 years than it did in the previous 10,000. Some things have become better, but for the most part our tendency toward processed and fast foods has devastated the average AmericanвЂ™s diet. How are you doing with your diet?

Are you full of energy or generally tired and worn out? Could what you eat keep you from being at the top of your game? Come to the Sustainable Living Fair and find out! It could change your life! The Sustainable Living Fair The Sustainable Living Fair is a celebration of local living and living well and will be held at the Webb Center on the campus of Old Dominion University on February 26 and 27, and best of all itвЂ™s FREE! вЂњThe mission of the 2011 Sustainable Living Fair is to help educate people and communities in the Hampton Roads region to make healthy, sustainable choices,вЂќ according to Bev Sell, General Manager of Five Points Community Farm Market and organizer of the event. Continues on page 15 A Lesson on Aging From Okinawa People in Okinawa live to be old вЂ” very old. This tiny Japanese island has the highest concentration of 100-yearolds on Earth. It is also home to 15 percent of the total world population of people age 110 and older. Okinawans enjoy humanityвЂ™s longest life expectancies and suffer 80 percent less heart attacks than Americans. WhatвЂ™s happening there? Well, actually, a lot. Okinawans thrive for several reasons. Chief among them is diet. They eat a lot of whole foods (fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans and whole grains) and only a little animal protein. They also keep their portions small. The good news is that we can take a lesson from Okinawa, and if we do the results will almost certainly be less heart disease and generally healthier and happier lives. ItвЂ™s time we made a change. By now, itвЂ™s no secret that Americans eat poorly and itвЂ™s killing us. About 70 percent of us are overweight. Heart attacks claim more than 400,000 lives every year. In fact, heart attacks are the top cause of death in the United States. In addition, thousands of people suffer from heart ailments that keep them from living robust, active, and fulfilling lives. So, what should we do? The answer, I believe, is simple. Regardless of age, consider embracing a few ideas: Edward Skillen, DO, FACC is a cardiologist with Cardiovascular Specialists, a Bon Secours Heart and Vascular Institute specialty practice. If you want to learn more about what makes Okinawans so robust, he recommends the book, Healthy At 100, by John Robbins. вЂў Exercise. Okinawans are active. They keep moving вЂ” and having fun вЂ” well into their 80s, 90s and even at 100 plus. Find an activity you like. Dozens of options exist including walking, swimming, and even training for the Senior Olympics. Be sure to get a vigorous workout for 45 to 60 minutes five to six days a week. вЂўB uild your menus around whole foods. You donвЂ™t have to give up great tasting meals. Thousands of cookbooks now offer superb vegetable-based recipes, which are naturally low in fat. You also donвЂ™t have to abandon meat. Just consider cutting back. About 25 percent of the typical American meal is animal protein. In Okinawa, itвЂ™s closer to 5 percent. And, yes, itвЂ™s OK to have the occasional cookie. I do, too. вЂў Watch your weight. You donвЂ™t have to be skinny as a super model but you shouldnвЂ™t be carrying around an extra 50 pounds either. вЂў Get medical checkups. A good healthcare team can help you watch your weight, diet, blood pressure, sugar levels, and cholesterol. They can also help you monitor your medical conditions. In short, IвЂ™m suggesting you take to heart вЂ” pun intended вЂ” a simple philosophy from Okinawa: вЂњFood should nourish life. This is the best medicine.вЂќ eSeniorHealth.com | 9 Bon Secours Health System and Operation Blessing International recently launched a pilot program called вЂњFuture CEOsвЂќ right here in Hampton Roads.
