6 tips to prevent pneumonia

A healthy diet, as well as getting plenty of rest and physical exercise will decrease the risk of getting pneumonia.

Here are 6 tips to prevent pneumonia!

1. Know the Symptoms of Pneumonia in the Elderly

According to the Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, sometimes there are challenges to the diagnosis of pneumonia in seniors because they may not suffer the classic symptoms like fever, chills and cough. Also, watch for non-respiratory symptoms like weakness, confusion, delirium or dizziness, or other, more vague symptoms — especially in those with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, which can impair the accurate reporting of pneumonia symptoms.

2. Practice Good Hand Hygiene

Ordinary respiratory infections, colds and influenza can sometimes lead to pneumonia; the Mayo Clinic advises that you wash your hands regularly or use hand sanitizer to help prevent the spread of these illnesses.

3. Practice Good Oral Care

Bacteria from the mouth can be aspirated into the lungs, especially in people who may not be able to swallow effectively. Good oral care will decrease the bacteria that could cause aspiration pneumonia.

4. Make Sure Seniors Get Immunized

The Mayo Clinic and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute both advise seniors and others at risk for pneumonia to get vaccinated against bacterial pneumococcal pneumonia. It’s a one-time vaccine that can prevent or reduce the severity of pneumonia. Your doctor may also suggest a booster vaccine after 5 years. It’s also a good idea to vaccinate seniors against influenza.

5. Don’t Smoke

Smoking is a major risk factor for pneumonia — it greatly increases a person’s likelihood of getting the disease, because it harms the ability of the lungs to defend against infection. Quitting smoking can help at-risk seniors defend against pneumonia.

6. Stay in Good General Health and be Active

Good overall health habits are critical to preventing pneumonia in seniors and in everybody, because they keep the immune system strong and able to fight off infection. A healthy diet, as well as getting plenty of rest and physical exercise will decrease the risk of getting pneumonia.

Appetite loss: 10 tips to a bigger appetite

Appetite loss can be a problem, especially for the elderly who live alone and lack interest in cooking. Appetite loss is common for people facing illness, cancer, depression – and medication side effects they come with – are also at risk of poor nutrition.

Appetite loss can be a problem, especially for the elderly who live alone and lack interest in cooking. Appetite loss is common for people facing illness, cancer, depression – and medication side effects they come with – are also at risk of poor nutrition.

“I wish I had THAT problem!” you’re probably laughing. But appetite loss is no laughing matter when you’re worried about a loved one’s appetite. Not eating right leads to low energy, which reduces appetite further.

Top 10 helpful tips

Make your loved one’s FAVORITE foods. Try new recipes featuring favorite ingredients. If they like cheese, consider melting it on a cracker with a slice of tomato on top.

  1. Make the eating environment lovely: tidy up, use beautiful colors for dishes and tableware, play calming music, turn off the TV, have flowers or another beautiful center piece.
  2. Eat together at routine times, and have good conversation. Feeling loved and listened to can stimulate an appetite … or at least make them feel “guilty” enough to eat a little just to please you, which lights up their tastebuds and leads to more bites.
  3. Keep the meal sizes small. When they see a large meal on the table, they might feel overwhelmed because they can’t finish it.
  4. Consider smells that can stimulate the appetite, like sautéing a little garlic with vegetables in butter or oil.
  5. Leave enough room between meals and snacks for your loved one to get hungry again. A food tradition from Panama says that if you eat an apple before a meal, it makes you hungrier and prepares your stomach for food.
  6. Keep them hydrated by helping them drink enough water throughout the day. This can facilitate faster digestion and will make them feel hungry more often.
  7. Physical activity as appropriate can stimulate the digestive system and may improve appetite. Take a short walk before a meal.
  8. Sometimes chewing might be difficult, so consider liquid or semi-solid foods, such as a protein smoothie. Smoothies can pack a lot of nutrients and calories; choose a good protein powder, veggies like kale or spinach and carrots, plus fruits.
  9. Snack! Prepare snack-sized bags with berries, nuts and chopped veggies.

 

Generally, women over 50 need about 1,600 to 2,200 calories a day; men need 2,000 to 2,800. Resist the urge to fill up on empty calories like baked goods, chips and soda. As you age, you don’t need as many calories, but you need more nutrients. Choose from fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein.

 

When you cook for yourself, make extra—like stew or hearty soups. Freeze left-overs in handy one-serving containers to leave behind in the freezer. Prepared food is easy to heat … and easier to eat!

Smoothie POWER

Smoothie power-Easy to make smoothies are a terrific way to incorporate needed vegetables, fruits, proteins, vitamins, and minerals into your diet. By using a blender to puree these ingredients, the first part of the digestion process has already been completed, so its easier for your body to absorb all the nutrients.

Smoothie power comes into play as we age, and our digestion slows down. We may find ourselves eating less and choosing the easy options on our plate rather than the healthy options. Easy to make smoothies are a terrific way to incorporate needed vegetables, fruits, proteins, vitamins, and minerals into your diet. By using a blender to puree these ingredients, the first part of the digestion process has already been completed, so its easier for your body to absorb all the nutrients. Look for foods rich in antioxidants, Omega-3s, and Vitamin E. Antioxidants which are found in many fruits, vegetables, legumes, tea and dark chocolate help rid the body of free radicals, which break down and impair high functioning brain cells.

Omega-3s and Vitamin E, which can be found in certain nuts, seeds, and whole grains, as well as there prospective oils, are also highly anti-inflammatory and help support brain health.

Smoothies can be customized for those with food sensitivities. For example, it’s easy to make a smoothie Gluten and Dairy free. Finally, smoothies are great because you don’t need to have fresh fruits on hand because “flash frozen” fruits retain all their nutrients and are both convenient and economical. Please encourage your family, professional caregivers and senior communities to prepare and offer healthy smoothies.


The following smoothie recipe is just one of many smoothie recipes that incorporate brain-healthy ingredients.

Chocolate Antioxidant Smoothie I Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

-1 cup any milk
   (Almond, Hemp, Cow, etc)

-1 Ripe Banana (frozen or fresh)

-2 tbsp Cocoa Powder, preferably organic

-1/2 tsp Vanilla

-1 tbsp Ground Flax Seed

-Pinch or Sea Salt

-1-2 tbsp Raw Honey or Agave

-8 Ice Cubes if not using frozen
   bananas

Put all ingredients in the high-speed blender and process until smooth.

Drink and enjoy!

The importance of fitness as we age

Research has shown that regular physical activity improves quality of life for older adults and decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease and many other illnesses and disabilities.

It is a challenge to continue moving and stay active no matter what stage of life we are in. How important is it to you to pick the weeds in your garden or pick up the napkin you just dropped? For many of us, keeping up with those small tasks is enough to push us to exercise in one way or another. In my experience, there is always a way. It`s all about your willingness to accomplish your very own routine that works around your schedule. There are many great ways that we can accomplish being active in our later years. Exercise is perhaps the best-demonstrated way to maintain good health, fitness, and independence. Research has shown that regular physical activity improves quality of life for older adults and decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease and many other illnesses and disabilities. There are four main types of exercise and physical activity to focus on: Endurance, Strength, Balance, and Flexibility. Each activity is different and have their own benefits for doing them each day.

Endurance, or aerobic activities, increase your breathing and heart rate. They keep your heart, lungs, and circulatory system healthy, and improve your overall fitness. Building endurance helps you attain the ability to do your brisk walking or jogging, yard work or gardening, even dancing.
Strength exercises make your muscles stronger. Even small increases in strength can make a big difference in your ability to stay independent and carry out everyday activities, such as climbing stairs and carrying groceries. You can lift weights, use resistance bands, or your own body weight.

Balance exercises can help prevent falls, a common problem in older adults. Many lower-body strength exercises also will improve your balance. Standing counter exercises for balance, Water aerobics, Tai Chi.

Flexibility exercises stretch your muscles and can help your body stay limber. Being flexible gives you more range of movement for other exercises as well as for your everyday activities. Shoulder & upper arm stretches, calf stretches, or even yoga help stretch our muscles, and give us freedom.

Stay as active as you can,  find what is comfortable, and make it something you enjoy! If someone were to say exercising is your gardening routine and that was your highlight of your day, how would you feel about exercise?

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) chambers work by surrounding the patient with 100% oxygen at higher than normal atmospheric pressure in sessions.

Breathing 100% oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure is a painless, proven way to help the body heal. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) chambers work by surrounding the patient with 100% oxygen at higher than normal atmospheric pressure in sessions, or dives, that last 90 minutes to two hours. This increases the amount of oxygen in the patient’s blood allowing red blood cells to pass more easily through the plasma into the wounds to heal them from the inside out.

Introduced in the mid-1960’s, HBO chambers have evolved to treat patients suffering from diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections, compromised skin grafts and flaps, and wounds that haven’t healed within 30 days.

Weighing more than one ton each, the HBO chambers resemble a reclining bed encased in a clear acrylic shell nearly a yard in diameter. Patients can listen to music or watch movies on televisions and VCR/DVD players mounted above the chamber while remaining in constant contact with those outside the chamber through an intercom and private handset. The only physical sensation resulting from the treatment is a slight pressure on the eardrum, such as that felt when a plane lands, as the air in the chamber is compressed.

This non-surgical, painless procedure, called hyperbaric oxygen therapy, allows oxygen molecules to pass through blood plasma more easily and speeds healing. HBO may be used for wounds that haven’t healed in 30 days despite multiple treatments, or for other medical conditions. These include:

  • Diabetic ulcers
  • Lower leg ulcers
  • Bone infections
  • Gangrene
  • Radiation skin irritations
  • Post-operative infected wounds
  • Wounds from brown recluse spider bites
  • Failing or compromised skin/muscle grafts or flaps
  • Vascular disorders resulting in poor blood circulation

The Wound Healing Center uses HBO to treat patients referred by a variety of medical specialists. In most instances, Medicare, Medicaid and the majority of insurance plans cover HBO.

Fall prevention and risk factors

As we age, our bodies go through many changes that we must constantly adjust. Being educated and prepared for life’s changes helps us avoid common pitfalls.

As we age, our bodies go through many changes that we must constantly adjust to in order to continue to remain active, independent individuals. Being educated and prepared for life’s changes can help us avoid common pitfalls. Obvious things such as changes in eyesight or hearing, sends us to our doctors to seek corrective measures.

Unfortunately, many times there are changes that are quite subtle, that often go unnoticed, and can lead to serious consequences. Things such as loss of balance, delayed reflexes, and blood pressure fluctuations often go unnoticed. “One of the most dangerous situations affecting our seniors are… falls. Look at a few of these statistics.

  • Falls in the 70 and over age group are more common than cancer and strokes.
  • 30% of seniors over age 70 will have multiple falls, resulting in injury.
  • 10% will suffer serious injury from a fall, such as a fractured hip, neck, or brain trauma.
  • 90% of hip fractures result from a fall.

Falls are also very preventable! The first goal in preventing falls is to take inventory of your risk factors, and understand when you are at greatest risk. Then by taking some corrective measures, your risk of falling can be lowered significantly so that you can continue to live a happy independent, injury free life. So here are some things to consider as you evaluate your risk factors.

  • Assess your home environment for trip hazards, have a friend help you. Look for loose fitting shoes, electrical cords, carpets, and furniture that could be trip hazards, and clear your walkways.
  • Take inventory of your medical conditions ie blood pressure medications, steroid use, or diseases that affect your balance and make adjustments. Change positions more slowly to prevent dizziness if you take blood pressure meds.
  • If you are a diabetic, or have decreases sensation to your legs, talk to your doctor about therapy or assistive devices.
  • Eat foods and exercise to promote healthy strong bones. Calcium rich foods like milk, yogurt, almonds and green vegetables should be part of your diet. Exercise such as walking or swimming help strengthen our bones and improve our balance.

In summary, many changes affect our bodies as we age. Understanding these changes, and taking preventative measures before issues arise, can help us continue to live productive, independent lives. Take inventory of your home, and your health and make choices to prevent falls.

Organ profiles and transplant statistics

Interesting Fact – On average, a human heart beats about 2.5 billion times in a person’s lifetime.

Organ Profiles and Transplant Statistics

Heart

This organ is a muscular pump that circulates blood carrying oxygen and nutrients to, and wastes from, the body’s cells. The right side of the heart circulates blood to the lungs. The left side circulates blood to the rest of the body and back to the heart.

Diseases and Disorders

* Cardiomyopathy is an abnormality of the heart muscle. The cause is often unknown. Advanced cases may require a heart transplant.
* Congestive Heart Failure is a condition resulting from heart disease such as coronary artery disease. The heart no longer pumps enough blood to meet the body’s needs. A heart transplant may be needed if medical treatments fail.
* Myocarditis is an inflammation of the muscle tissue of the heart, often a complication of various infectious diseases. Severe cases can result in heart failure and require a heart transplant.
* Congenital Heart Disease is the most common lethal birth defect, and the most common indication for heart transplantation in infants and young children

.Transplant Statistics

* Each year, about 2,000 heart transplants and fewer than 50 heart-lung transplants are performed.
* In 2003, around 3,500 people were on the waiting list for a heart transplant and about 200 were waiting for a heart-lung transplant.
* In 2003, over 450 people died while waiting for a heart transplant.
* About 85 percent of heart transplant recipients are surviving one year after transplantation.

Interesting Fact

On average, a human heart beats about 2.5 billion times in a person’s lifetime.

Lung

This pair of organs provides an environment for gas exchange: Oxygen passes into the bloodstream through microscopic air sacs in the lungs, while waste carbon dioxide passes out of the bloodstream into the lungs. Breathing facilitates this exchange of gases.

Diseases and Disorders

A number of diseases and disorders lead to lung transplants each year: cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, and pulmonary edema, among others. People with these conditions usually must lead a very sedentary lifestyle. Many of these conditions are life-threatening.

Transplant Statistics

* About 1,000 patients receive a lung transplant each year.
* Each year, about 4,000 people are waiting for a lung transplant.
* Over 400 people die each year while waiting for a lung transplant.
* About 75 percent of lung transplant recipients survive the first year.
* A single lung can save a life. One deceased donor can be the source of two lung transplants.

Interesting Facts

Normal breathing rate at rest for an adult ranges from 15-25 breaths per minute. During
a 24-hour period, the average number of breaths taken by
a human is around 23,040.

Intestine

The intestine is the part of the alimentary canal that extends from the stomach to the anus. The first part-a long, narrow, and convoluted section is referred to as the small intestine. Its function is to complete the digestion and absorption of digested nutrients into the bloodstream and lymph. The second part-the large intestine-is not usually transplanted.

Diseases and Disorders

Intestine transplants are required when the intestine becomes twisted and blocked or when there is irreversible intestinal failure. Most cases of intestinal failure are caused by short-gut syndrome (a significant loss of length of the small intestine present at birth or as a result of surgical removal or trauma). People with intestinal failure must receive nutrients intravenously. Because long-term intravenous feeding usually causes liver damage, many people who require a small intestine transplant also require a liver transplant at the same time.

Transplant Statistics

* Around 100 intestine transplants were performed in 2003.
* In 2003, over 150 patients were on the waiting list for an intestine transplant.
* In 2003, about 40 people died while waiting for an intestine transplant.
* The one-year survival rate for intestine transplant recipients is about 60 percent.
* The majority of intestinal transplants are performed in infants and children.

Interesting Facts

While smaller in diameter than the large intestine, the small intestine is much longer-about 7 meters to the large intestine’s 1.5 meters.

Liver

This large organ destroys toxic substances in the body and breaks down unwanted protein into the waste product urea. The liver stores some food substances until the body needs them. It also produces a green liquid-bile-that is released into the intestine to help break down large fat droplets into smaller fat droplets to prepare fat for chemical digestion.

Diseases and Disorders

* Birth defects of the liver or bile duct.
* Chronic liver infections, such as hepatitis (particularly B and C), which severely damage the liver.
* Damage from alcohol and other drugs.
* Damage from blood clots in the liver.
* The skin of people with liver damage may turn yellow from a condition called jaundice. They also may gain weight and experience general weakness. Because the liver is involved in many metabolic processes, severe liver damage is often fatal.

Transplant Statistics

* Around 5,000 people receive liver transplants each year.
* Each year, over 17,000 people are waiting to receive a liver transplant.
* Each year, about 2,000 people die while waiting for a liver.
* One year after the surgery, about 85 percent of liver transplant recipients live fairly normal lives.
* A donated liver can be split between two recipients, so that one deceased donor can be the source of two liver transplants.

Interesting Fact

More heat is produced by the liver than by any other organ in the body.

Kidney

One of a pair of organs that control the amount of water in the body and filter urea and other wastes into urine. The kidneys also produce a hormone (erythropoietin) that controls the production of red blood cells.

Diseases and Disorders

* High blood pressure causes kidney damage, can lead to kidney failure, and is-as a result-an important predictor of kidney failure.
* Diabetes (see pancreas) is a leading cause of kidney failure.
* Other diseases (cystic kidney diseases) can cause the kidneys to become inflamed or can produce cysts in the kidneys that prevent them from functioning properly.
* People with severe kidney disease are often placed on dialysis machines

Transplant Statistics

* About 14,000 kidney transplants are performed each year. Just over one third of transplanted kidneys are from living donors.
* At any point, about 55,000 people are on the waiting list for a kidney transplant.
* Every year, over 3,000 people die while waiting for a kidney transplant.
* The one-year survival rate for kidney transplant recipients is about 95 percent.

Interesting Fact

After kidney transplants, most recipients have three kidneys because their own kidneys are usually left in place.

Pancreas

The pancreas produces two enzymes-insulin and glucagon-that control the level of sugar in the blood. In addition, the pancreas produces a mixture of enzymes, called pancreatic juice, which is released into the small intestine to help digest starch, proteins, and fats.

Diseases and Disorders

* Malfunction or failure of the pancreas leads to diabetes-an inability to control the level of glucose in the blood.
* Individuals with this condition are called diabetics and may need insulin to control the level of glucose in the blood. Diabetes can damage or cause the failure of many of the body’s organs. Because patients requiring a pancreas transplant often have kidney disease, the pancreas and kidneys are sometimes transplanted together. Failure to treat diabetes can lead to organ failure and death.

Transplant Statistics

* In 2003, over 450 people received a pancreas transplant.
* In 2003, about 1,500 people were on the waiting list for a pancreas.
* In 2003, about 30 people died while waiting for a pancreas transplant.
* One year after receiving a pancreas transplant, about 95 percent of recipients are still living.

Interesting Fact

The pancreas has a tremendous reserve capacity for the production of some enzymes. More than 95 percent of the function of the pancreas must be lost before the pancreas fails and symptoms of bloating and poor digestion occur.
