While the state had provided numerous troops, they had not been called on to fight in their home territory. That changed when Confederate Brigadier General John H. Morgan, attempting to divert Union forces away from Confederate armies gathered in Tennessee, began his now famous raid through Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. The boldness of Morgan required that Union troops be sent to stop his eastern progress. What began in Tennessee as a raid across the border of Kentucky, continued to Indiana and Ohio. Morgan seemed to be able to move freely and rapidly through the area, continuing to requisition fresh horses and supplies from the towns and villages along his route.

Western Virginia had split from Virginia in March, but there were still enough Confederate sympathizers to ensure Morgan safe passage. Like the nation, what would become the state of West Virginia was still divided, even though a majority of voters had supported statehood. Things didn’t go as planned for Morgan; he had encountered increasing resistance after entering Ohio, and now, Union troops were close pursuit. Morgan reached Buffington Island on July 18. His troops were exhausted after fighting their way through Gallia and Meigs Counties, and he decided to wait until morning to lead his troops across the river. The ford where Morgan planned to use as his escape route was guarded by the Marietta Militia, and he must have felt that rested troops would have a better chance at a successful outcome. This break gave Union forces the opportunity to catch up with Morgan. At 5:30 a.m. on July 19, 3,000 Union cavalrymen, artillerymen, infantry- Patrol From page 1 In 2010, he was promoted to the rank of sergeant and transferred to the Portsmouth Post to serve as an assistant post commander.

Although Morgan and some remaining troops escaped, they were eventually captured, ending what is officially called Morgan’s Indiana-Ohio Raid. On Saturday, a ceremony was held at Buffington Island Battlefield Memorial, a four-acre memorial park near the bank of the Ohio River, to remember the battle and honor the fallen. The ceremony was hosted by Cadot-Blessing Camp #126 Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW), and included an introduction of guests by their commander, Jim Oiler. Ohio Department SUVCW Commander R.A. Davis commended all those who work for the preservation of the Buffington Island Battlefield. “I want to commend all who work for the preservation of the battlefield,” Davis said. “And I am here today to also commend and honor the people who fought and died here during the Battle of Buffington Island.” Davis said the SUVCW is dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of heroes who fought and worked to save the Union, and the legal successor to the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR). The SUVCW was organized in 1881 and chartered by Congress in 1954 “The GAR was established in 1866 to care and support Union veterans. It was a powerful political force in the United States that can be credited with establishing the veterans pension system and veteran’s assistance.” After the Laying of Wreaths, Sam Wilson gave a brief history of the battle, and encouraged joining the Foundation’s efforts by becoming a member and visiting their Facebook page. “We welcome everyone who is interested in preserving this important piece of Ohio and the nation’s history,” Wilson said. The Buffington Island Battlefield Preservation Foundation over sees the Memorial, and has announced plans to purchase additional land in their effort to preserve Ohio’s largest Civil War battlefield, that includes 1,230 acres of bottomland surrounding the village of Portland. Buffington Island is association with the battle due to its proximity, but was not part of the battlefield. Today, the island is protected as part of the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge. For more information on the battle, a kiosk at the site provides visitors with an outline of the battlefield, and the nearby Portland Ohio Civil War Museum located in the former Portland Elementary School, includes artifacts and history of the battle. Several books have been written by David Mowery, former Foundation Director, including Morgan’s Great Raid: The Remarkable Expedition from Kentucky to Ohio.

Pelosi cited the “integrity” of the probe in refusing to accept the appointments of Indiana Rep. Jim Banks, picked by McCarthy to be the top Republican on the panel, or Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan. Both are outspoken allies of former President Donald Trump, whose supporters laid siege to the Capitol that day and interrupted the certification of President Joe Biden’s win. Democrats have said the investigation will go on whether the Republicans participate or not, as Pelosi has already appointed eight of the 13 members — including Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, a Trump critic — and that gives them a quorum to proceed, according to committee rules.

Peterson AP Sports Writer TOKYO — Sweden didn’t have to bunker down on defense against the Americans this time. Stina Blackstenius scored a pair of goals and the Swedes stunned the United States at the Olympics with a 3-0 victory Wednesday in the women’s soccer tournament. The Americans, ranked No. 1 in the world and the favorites to win gold in Tokyo, were riding a 44-match unbeaten streak heading into the match. But Sweden, ranked No. 5, has been the U.S. team’s nemesis of sorts in recent years. The Swedes bounced the Americans from the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games in the quarterfinals, the earliest U.S. Olympic exit ever, by making a defensive stand. This April, Sweden played the United States to a 1-1 draw in Stockholm, which snapped a winning streak dating back to January 2019 when the Americans lost to France in the run-up to the World Cup. It was the U.S. team’s only draw this year. “Did we expect this result tonight? No,” said U.S. forward Megan Rapinoe, who did not start but came on as a substitute in the 64th minute with the score 2-0. “It’s frustrating, and it’s frustrating that it’s Sweden. They found a lot of space on us. I don’t even know how many goals we have given up this whole year. I don’t remember the last time we gave up a goal. So to give up three is not great.” Sweden’s offense deserved all the credit. Blackstenius’ header into the far corner off a cross from Sofia Jakobsson in the 26th minute gave the team a first-half lead. The United States, which came out stale, had its best chance of the opening half in the final moments when Rose Lavelle’s shot hit the post. Coach Vlatko Andonovski made changes for the second half, subbing in Carli Lloyd for Alex Morgan and Julie Ertz for Sam Mewis. But Blackstenius scored again in the 54th minute, beating goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, as the Americans continued to struggle. Lina Hurtig added the final goal in the 72nd. Sweden goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl acknowledged the win over the favorites was encouraging, but it’s still just the beginning of the tournament. Ahead are group games against Australia and New Zealand. “I know for a fact that you can go very far in a tournament even if you lose to the USA or whoever you play in the first game,” Lindahl said. “So in the end I don’t know how much it means, but for sure we showed the world and ourselves that we can play well against a team like the U.S. or any team.” The loss was the first for the United States under Andonovski, who took over when former coach Jill Ellis stepped down following the team’s World Cup victory in France. Late in the match, Andonovski sat expressionless on the bench. The Swedes were without Magda Eriksson because of injury. The team said she has been training, but because of the compact schedule of the tournament she was held out of the opener. Tokyo is Sweden’s seventh Olympics. After getting eliminated by Sweden on penalties in the quarterfinals five years ago, U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo famously called the Swedes cowards for their defensive tactics. Sweden went on to win the silver medal, losing to Germany 2-1 in the final.

When fans started approaching his vehicle, Antetokounmpo chatted with them and let them take pictures. The Bucks didn’t have the smooth regular season they’d enjoyed the last couple of years. Jrue Holiday, the team’s top offseason addition, missed 10 games due to COVID-19. After entering the playoffs as the NBA’s top overall seed in 2019 and 2020, the Bucks posted the seventh-best record in the league and had the East’s No. 3 seed this year. But that regular-season adversity gave the Bucks the toughness they’d need in the postseason. “We knew it wasn’t always going to be pretty,” Bucks forward Khris Middleton said. “We knew we were going to have to win different styles of ballgames, but that’s the type of team you want to be, to throw different guys out there, different lineups out there, because you can’t win the same way at this level.” Like many champions, the Bucks got some good luck along the way. James Harden missed the first three games and Kyrie Irving sat out the last three games of Brooklyn’s second-round series loss to Milwaukee. The Bucks won Game 7 in overtime after Kevin Durant’s foot was on the line as he hit a jumper at the end of the fourth quarter, turning his potential series-clinching 3-pointer into a two-point basket. But the Bucks also showed their mettle by erasing 2-0 deficits against Brooklyn and Phoenix. Antetokounmpo delivered his dominant performance in the finals while playing with on a left knee he had hyperextended just a few weeks ago. The Bucks were 10-1 at home in the playoffs. Middleton played a major role in this title chase. He made the winning basket in the final minute of overtime in that Game 7 victory at Brooklyn. He had a 20-point fourth quarter in Game 3 and a 23-point third quarter in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals with the Atlanta Hawks. He scored 40 points in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Antetokounmpo carried the Bucks across the finish line by scoring at least 40 points in three of the six NBA Finals games, including his 50-point, 14-rebound, 5-block effort in Tuesday’s 105-98 �SPORTS/WEATHER 8 Thursday, July 22, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Ricardo Mazalan | AP United States’ Carli Lloyd, right, leaves the field after losing 0-3 against Sweden during a women’s soccer match Wednesday at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

In 2008, the United States also lost its first match, 2-0 to Norway, but went on to win the gold medal. “I think ultimately as an athlete you go through ups and downs, and this is a hard result but it’s the nature of a tough tournament,” U.S. forward Christen Press said. “It wasn’t going to be easy. We weren’t going to breeze through six games no matter what. So here we are.” It was just the sixth time that the United States had lost by three or more goals.

The top two teams in the group advance to the knockout round. “It is what it is,” Rapinoe said. “We got bopped, and we have two more games coming quick and fast.

Stroman 1-hit ball for 8 innings, Mets beat Reds CINCINNATI (AP) — Marcus Stroman pitched one-hit ball for eight innings, Dominic Smith launched a grand slam and the New York Mets cruised to a 7-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Stroman (7-8) gave up a clean leadoff line drive single to left by Aristides Aquino in the third inning and little else. He struck out seven and walked one while giving New York’s beleaguered bullpen precious rest going into Thursday’s day off. “To be honest, I have the same mentality and mindset in every game,” he said. “It doesn’t change. That’s my goal. That’s the standard. That’s the key for me of whoever was on the mound – to go deep. It’s a great feeling to hear the guys saying, ‘thank you, thank you, thank you.’” The Mets used a combined 12 relievers over the first two games in Cincinnati. “Highly important, right?” said manager Luis Rojas, back in the dugout after serving a two-game suspension for excessive arguing on Sunday. “Stroman’s been outstanding this season. He’s kept us in a lot of games. His record doesn’t show how well he’s pitched. He gave us the eight innings. We needed it. We’re glad he gave that breather to the bullpen,” he said. Stroman hit Jonathan India with his first pitch of the game, then quickly settled in after going 0-4 in his previous six starts. His only difficulty came when he was Post 39 From page 7 pitcher of record for Post 39, striking out two batters in six innings of work.

Dodson, Gilkey, Blanchard and Reynolds had two hits apiece in the victory, while Parker and Chase Barber added a hit apiece. Reynolds’ triple and Gilkey’s double were the game’s only extrabase hits. Blanchard had a team-best three runs batted in, Dodson drove in two, while Gilkey and Ridenour had an RBI apiece.

According to the American Heart Association, sedentary jobs have increased by 83 percent since 1950, and technology has reduced many people’s need to get up and move. Inactivity is taking a considerable toll on public health. A study from the University of Cambridge equated inactivity with being obese. The Mayo Clinic advises that research has linked sedentary behavior to a host of health concerns, and found those who sat for more than eight hours a day with no physical activity had a risk of dying similar to the risks of fatality linked to obesity and smoking. Increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, abnormal cholesterol levels, and excess body fat all can be attributed to inactivity. Mental health can be adversely affected by a sedentary lifestyle as well. Australian researchers surveyed more than 3,300 government employees and found men who sat for more than six hours a day at work were 90 percent more likely to feel moderate psychological distress, such as restlessness, nervousness or hopelessness, than those who sat for less than three hours a day. In addition, a sedentary lifestyle can significantly increase a person’s risk for various types of cancer. A German meta- analysis of 43 studies involving four million people indicated those who sit the most have higher propensities to develop colon cancer, endometrial cancer and lung cancer. Johns Hopkins Medical Center says research shows that high levels of exercise at some point in the day can lessen some risk, but it’s not entirely effective if most of the rest of the day a person is inactive. Risk for cardiovascular disease increases significantly for people who spend 10 hours or more sitting each day. Various medical organizations recommend individuals get up and move at any opportunity to help reduce risks of inactivity. Erin Michos, M.D., M.H.S., associate director of preventive cardiology at the Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, advises people who are very sedentary to aim for 4,000 steps per day. Such individuals can then build up to a target of 10,000 steps daily. The Mayo Clinic recommends these strategies to reduce the amount of time you spend sitting. š��IjWdZ�m^_b[�jWba_d]�ed�j^[ phone or watching television š�?dl[ij�_d�W�ijWdZ_d]�Z[ia š�=[j�kf�\hec�i_jj_d]�[l[ho�)&�c_dkj[i š�MWba�Wj�bkdY^�eh�Zkh_d]�c[[j_d]i Sedentary lifestyles can affect health in many negative ways. But there are various ways to get up and go over the course of a typical day. A person’s habits can have a strong impact on his or her overall health. Unhealthy habits like smoking and living a sedentary lifestyle can increase a person’s risk for various conditions and diseases. On the flip side, healthy habits like eating a nutritious diet and getting enough sleep can bolster a person’s immune system and reduce his or her risk for various ailments. Some healthy habits, like daily exercise, can be time-consuming. Busy adults may not have time to exercise vigorously each day, though the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services urges men and women to find time for at least 150 minutes of moderateintensity aerobic activity each week. But not all healthy habits take up time. In fact, adults can incorporate various healthy practices into their daily routines without skipping a beat. š�Take the stairs. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator can have a profound effect on overall health. According to Duke University, climbing just two flights of stairs combined per day can contribute to six pounds of weight loss over the course of a single year. In addition, a study from the North American Menopause Society found that stair climbing can help postmenopausal women reduce their risk for osteoporosis and help them lower their blood pressure. š�Drink more water. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that water helps the body maintain a normal temperature, lubricates and cushions joints, protects the spinal cord and other sensitive tissues, and helps to rid the body of waste through urination, perspiration and bowel movements. Adults who are thirsty can choose water over soda or other sugary beverages. The CDC notes that sugary beverages like soda and sports drinks contain calories but little nutritional value, making water a healthier way for individuals to quench their thirst. š�Go for daily walks. Walking benefits the body in myriad ways. For example, the Harvard School of Public Health notes that women who walk 30 minutes per day can reduce their risk of stroke by 20 percent and potentially by 40 percent if they walk briskly. In addition, researchers at the University of Virginia Health System found that men between the ages of 71 and 93 who walked more than a quarter mile per day had half the incidence of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease as men who walked less. A 15-minute walk around the neighborhood each morning coupled with a 15-minute walk after dinner can help adults dramatically improve their overall health. š�Eat more greens. Eating more greens is another healthy habit that doesn’t require a major overhaul of an individual’s lifestyle. The U.S. Department of Agriculture notes that dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, are rich in vitamins A,C, E, and K. The Mayo Clinic notes that vitamin E alone can help people maintain their vision and promote a healthy reproductive system while also improving the health of the blood, brain and skin. The USDA also notes that green vegetables contain very little carbohydrates, sodium and cholesterol. Adults won’t have to reinvent the dietary wheel to incorporate more greens into their diets, and the results of doing so can have a significant, positive effect on their overall health. The right habits can help people live healthier lives, and such habits need not require any major life changes. �HEALTHY LIVING 10 Thursday, July 22, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Women and autoimmune disease With Nisar Amin, MD When you have an autoimmune disease, your immune system mistakenly attacks the tissues or organs it’s designed to protect.

Scientists believe that genetics and hormonal changes are two of the reasons for the prevalence of the disease in women. Having an autoimmune disease increases the risk of having another. That’s the reason it’s so important for women to become more knowledgeable about this group of illnesses. There are more than 100 diseases caused by autoimmune responses. Here are four of the most common. Lupus Women are up to 10 times more likely than men to have lupus, which can attack the joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) With MS, the body’s immune system attacks a coating that protects the nerves, causing the communication between the brain and the body to be disrupted. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) RA is a chronic inflammation of the lining of the joints, usually in the hands and feet, which become painful and swollen. The disease can affect anyone, but it is most prevalent in women over 40. If it goes unchecked, RA can damage cartilage and the bones. Joints can become loose and painful, lose their mobility, and become deformed. Joint damage cannot be reversed, so early diagnosis followed by aggressive treatment is important. Thyroid Diseases These include Graves’ disease, in which the body produces too much of the thyroid hormone, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, where the body doesn’t make enough of the hormone. Symptoms and Diagnosis Unfortunately, diagnosing an autoimmune disease can be difficult. The symptoms are often nonspecific and can be very similar to other conditions. There is usually no single test that can diagnose an autoimmune disease or one factor that causes it. As a result, several steps may be required to obtain a diagnosis. However, if you know something is wrong, insist that your symptoms be taken seriously, especially if they include: š�<Wj_]k[ š�@e_dj�fW_d�WdZ�im[bb_d] š�Ia_d�fheXb[ci š�7XZec_dWb�fW_d�eh�Z_][ij_l[� issues š�H[Ykhh_d]�\[l[h š�Imebb[d�]bWdZi Risk Factors and Prevention Researchers are not quite sure what causes autoimmune diseases. They do know that certain diseases, such as lupus and multiple sclerosis, have a genetic factor because they tend to run in families. Being overweight raises the risk for developing rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Smoking has also been linked to several autoimmune diseases, and certain medications can cause drug-induced lupus, which is a milder form of lupus. In addition to losing weight and quitting smoking, there are other ways to reduce your risk, including: š�;Wj�W�dkjh_j_eki�Z_[j�WdZ�b_c_j� processed foods š�CWa[�f^oi_YWb�[n[hY_i[�W�ZW_bo� part of your life š�=[j�[dek]^�ib[[f š�H[ZkY[�oekh�ijh[ii�b[l[b š�A[[f�kf�je�ZWj[�ed�j^[�bWj[ij� information about your medications Sources: Johns Hopkins Medicine, Intermountain Healthcare, Very Well Health.

Shake up a stale workout with these tips Eating less and moving more are the hallmarks of many fitness regimens, especially those designed for people who want to lose weight. Maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce risk factors for many illnesses, making weight loss a worthy goal for those who can afford to shed a few pounds. While people have good intentions when designing their exercise regimens, over time hitting the treadmill or doing a weight circuit can lose its appeal. When exercise routines become stale, people may be put off from doing something that is essential to their overall health. Routinely switching things up can keep workouts fresh and exciting. Try a trendy workout Experiment with a new fitness trend to see if you like it. Start by talking with a personal trainer or group exercise captain at your fitness center. Chances are they’ve already implemented novel workouts for their clients and they can walk you through some of the offerings.

A buddy to exercise alongside Exercising safely after recovering from COVID-19 The number of COVID-19 people who have been infected by the novel LASTING coronavirus COVID-19 EFFECTS is difficult to determine, as millions of 91% of people who people may have had recovered from the virus but been COVID-19 reported at least one longasymptomatic. But as of April 2021, the Cen- lasting symptom, and fatigue and trouble ter for Systems Sciconcentrating were the ence and Engineering most common. at Johns Hopkins University reported that more than 31 million people in the United States have had confirmed coronavirus infections, and Canada reported 1,087,158 confirmed cases with 80,204 considered active at that time. Thousands of new cases are reported daily nationwide, and many others have occurred around the world. Even though COVID-19 is widespread and highly contagious, the silver lining is that a very high percentage of people recover from the disease. WebMD says that recovery rates fluctuate between 97 and 99.75 percent. However, COVID-19 can affect various parts of the body and produce longlasting side effects. A study from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency found that 91 percent of people who recovered from COVID-19 reported at least one long-lasting symptom, and fatigue and trouble concentrating were the most common. With this in mind, individuals who have recovered from the illness and want to get back to their daily activities — including exercising — may need to be especially careful. Health experts recommend a slow, phased approach to resuming exercise after recovering from COVID-19. It’s also worth noting that it may take some time to regain pre-illness fitness levels, so individuals are urged to go easy on themselves if they cannot meet certain milestones. David Salman, Ph.D., a clinical fellow in primary care at the Imperial College London, was lead author of a report published in the British Medical Journal that aimed to answer questions about returning to exercise. One of his recommendations is to wait for seven days after major symptoms have stopped before beginning to slowly build up physical activity. One should start with light-intensity exercises, such as walking or yoga. Gradually, more challenging activities, including brisk walking, swimming or light resistance training, can be introduced. Each phase should be maintained for at least seven days. People should be mindful of getting out of breath or feeling too fatigued by exercise. If this occurs, they should move back a phase until exercise feels comfortable. Pay attention to body cues while doing normal daily activities, as these can help determine if you need to rest. The University of Colorado Boulder Health and Wellness Services says exercise should not continue if people experience chest pain, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, abnormal heartbeats, or lightheadedness. Individuals are urged to consult with their doctors if these symptoms appear. Within a few weeks of infection, many people with mild cases of COVID-19 can typically be back to their normal fitness routines, says Anthony S. Lubinsky, MD, clinical associate professor at New York University Grossman School of Medicine. But slow and steady is the key to getting there. COVID-19 has affected millions of people. With time and guidance, most people who contracted COVID-19 can return to their pre-illness levels of physical activity. Where does lost weight go? How breathing aids weight loss Obesity is a significant threat to public health. The World Health Organization says global obesity rates have nearly tripled since 1975. There are now more than one billion overweight adults across the globe, and at least 300 million people are classified as clinically obese. Many people want to lose weight and unhealthy fat for personal reasons or at the suggestions of their doctors. Weight loss often involves a combina- tion of increasing exercise and decreasing calorie consumption. As excess weight starts being shed, it becomes evident that a biological process is taking place. Many people refer to it as burning calories. But fat loss is a complicated process that’s spawned various misconceptions. Breathing to lose weight? Many people may not know that a lot of the fat lost during weight loss efforts occurs through simple breathing. According to Live Science and a 2014 study from researchers at the University of New South Wales, the body stores excess protein or carbohydrates in a person’s diet in the form of fat, specifically triglycerides, which consist elementally of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. When people lose weight, triglycerides are breaking up into these building block elements through oxidation. The researchers found that, during oxidation, triglycerides are used up in a process that consumes many molecules of oxygen while producing carbon dioxide and water as waste products. The study found that, during weight loss, 84 percent of the triglyceride fat that is lost turns into carbon dioxide and leaves the body through the lungs. The remaining water may be excreted as sweat, breath or tears, or come out in urine — water excretion is the lesserknown component of the biological process. Researchers who authored the University of New South Wales study determined that, when 22 pounds of fat are oxidized, 18.5 pounds of it leaves the body as exhaled carbon. The amount of carbon that is lost can be increased through exercise, according to Medical News Today. By substituting one hour of moderate exercise (like jogging) for one hour of rest, a person can increase his or her metabolic rate of triglyceride usage sevenfold. Carbon excretion also occurs during sleep, while sitting and doing daily activities. However, the amount excreted during these activities is minimal and can be offset by eating too much food. Simply breathing more and faster during regular activities is not recommended, either, as doing so increases the risk for hyperventilation. �HEALTHY LIVING Ohio Valley Publishing Thursday, July 22, 2021 11 How to eat to improve your energy levels A little extra energy during the day could benefit just about anyone. Late morning mental fatigue and the post-lunch yawns may seem unavoidable, but there are plenty of ways to improve energy levels throughout the day. One such means to getting an extra hop in your step involves utilizing food. The health care experts at Kaiser Permanente® note that every part of the body, including the brain and heart, require energy to work. The body gets that energy from food. According to the National Health Service, the publicly funded health care system of the United Kingdom, a healthy, balanced diet is the best way to maintain sufficient energy levels throughout the day. A dietary approach rooted in eating to energize can change the way people eat, potentially helping them avoid unhealthy foods that won’t give them the boost they need. The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics echoes the sentiments of the NHS, noting that eating better is an effective way to improve energy levels. The AAND also recommends additional strategies for people looking to foods to provide an energy boost. š�;Wj�[l[ho�j^h[[�je�\ekh� hours. The AAND notes that eating every three to four hours helps to fuel a healthy metabolism. This approach also can prevent the between-meal hunger pangs that compel many people to reach for whatever food is readily available, even if it’s unhealthy. When eating every three to four hours, remember to prepare smaller portions than you would if you were eating three meals per day. The AAND points out that feeling comfortably full but not stuffed is a good indicator that you’ve eaten enough. š Aim for balance. A balanced plate should include foods from multiple food groups. The AAND notes that even a small amount of fat can find its way onto your plate, which should include a combination of whole grains, lean protein, fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, and fat-free or low-fat dairy. If that’s too much for a single sitting, ensure these food groups are represented on your plate at some point during the day. š�7le_Z�WZZ[Z�ik]Whi$ Added sugars can adversely affect energy levels. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that consuming too many added sugars, which are found in sugar-sweetened beverages like soda and iced tea and sweet snacks like candy, increases a person’s risk for obesity, type 2 dia- betes and heart disease. The AAND notes that the energy provided by foods with added sugars is typically misleading, as it wears off quickly and ultimately leads to an energy crash. If you’re looking to eat and drink for energy, then choose water or low-fat milk instead of coffee and soda and replace sweet snacks with fruit. š Choose the right snacks. The AAND recommends snacks have lean protein and fiber-rich carbohydrates. Low-fat Greek yogurt, apples, a handful of unsalted nuts, and carrots are some examples of healthy snacks that will provide an energy boost between meals. How people eat can help them overcome fatigue or exacerbate existing energy issues.

Overcoming a stale workout routine can be simple for young athletes, whose bodies can typically handle a wide range of physical activities. That flexibility allows younger athletes the chance to pursue any number of physical activities when their existing fitness regimens grow stale. But what about seniors who have grown tired of their workouts? Even seniors who have lived active lifestyles since they were youngsters are likely to encounter certain physical limitations associated with aging. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the likelihood of dealing with one or more physical limitations increases with age. CDC data indicates that 8 percent of adults between the ages of 50 and 59 have three or more physical limitations. That figure rises to 27 percent among adults age 80 and over. Physical limitations may be a part of aging for many people, but such obstacles need not limit seniors looking to banish boredom from their workout routines. In fact, many seniors can successfully engage in a variety of exercises that benefit their bodies and are unlikely to grow stale. š�Water aerobics: Sometimes referred to as “aqua aerobics,” water aerobics may involve jogging in the water, leg lifts, arm curls, and other activities that can safely be performed in a pool. The YMCA notes that water aerobics exercises are low impact, which can make them ideal for seniors with bone and joint issues like arthritis. š�Resistance band workouts: Resistance band workouts can be especially useful for seniors who spend a lot of time at home. Resistance bands are inexpensive and don’t take up a lot of space, making them ideal for people who like to exercise at home but don’t have much space. Resistance bands can be used to strengthen muscles in various parts of the body, including the legs, arms and back. Resistance bands can be pulled or pushed in any direction, which allows for more versatility in a workout than weight machines and dumbbells. That versatility allows seniors to spice up their workout regimens when things get a little stale. š�Pilates: Pilates is another low-impact exercise that can be ideal for seniors with bone and joint issues. According to SilverSneakers®, a community fitness program for seniors that promotes living through physical and social engagement, Pilates can help seniors build overall strength, stability and coordination. SilverSneakers® even notes that seniors can experience improvements in strength and stability by committing to as little as 10 to 15 minutes of daily Pilates exercises. š�Strength training: Seniors on the lookout for something more challenging than a daily walk around the neighborhood should not overlook the benefits of strength training. The CDC notes that seniors who participate in strength training can stimulate the growth of muscle and bone, thereby reducing their risk for osteoporosis and frailty. In fact, the CDC notes that people with health concerns like arthritis or heart disease often benefit the most from exercise regimens that include lifting weights a few times each week. Physical limitations are a part of aging. But seniors need not let such limitations relegate them to repetitive, boring workouts. Added sugars and their effects on weight loss Added sugars could be compromising people’s effort to lose weight and get fit. A 2009 report from researchers with the American Heart Association urged people to limit their intake of added sugars while noting that Americans get most of their added sugars from sugar-sweetened beverages, including sodas. A 2010 study led by a researcher from the Harvard School of Public Health noted that consumption of such beverages has increased considerably in recent decades, which has tracked positively with rising rates of obesity over that time. But pinning the bulk of the blame for rising obesity rates on sugar-sweetened beverages would be a mistake, as such drinks are not the only popular source of added sugars. Candy, baked goods, sugary cereals, and even some dried fruits contain significant amounts of added sugars. Added sugars are considered empty calories, which means they’re high in calories but not in vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Anyone attempting to lose weight and keep lost weight off should examine the foods and beverages they consume to determine if these items, which may be marketed as healthy or at least considered so by unsus- pecting consumers, are high in added sugars. Simply checking ingredients labels for the term “added sugars” may not be enough, as the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion notes that added sugars go by many different names, including: š�Xhemd�ik]Wh š�Yehd�im[[j[d[h š�Yehd�iohkf š�Z[njhei[ š�\hkYjei[ š�]bkYei[ š�^_]^#\hkYjei[�Yehd�iohkf š�^ed[o š�_dl[hj�ik]Wh š�bWYjei[ š�cWbj�iohkf š�cWbjei[ š�cebWii[i š�hWm�ik]Wh š�ikYhei[ š�jh[^Wbei[ š�jkhX_dWZe�ik]Wh The ODPHP notes that these sugars may be found in foods people wouldn’t otherwise see as potentially unhealthy, such as pasta sauces. That only underscores the importance of reading labels carefully and learning what to look for on such labels. Losing weight and keeping weight off is no small task. And that tasks becomes considerably taller when people consume significant amounts of added sugars. Beware the threat 5 ways to pamper yourself more often of overuse injuries Momentum can be a valuable asset as people pursue their fitness goals. Once a fitness routine picks up steam and begins to produce results, the resulting momentum can make it easier for individuals to fully commit to exercise and ultimately achieve, if not exceed, their initial goals. A successful fitness regimen includes various components, not the least of which is sufficient rest. As individuals gain momentum and inch closer to their fitness goals, it can be tempting to skip off days. But rest is vital, allowing the body to recover and thus reducing athletes’ risk for various injuries, including overuse injuries. What is an overuse injury? All physical activities carry a certain measure of risk. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts suffer injuries each day that have nothing to do with overuse. Such injuries often aren’t preventable, but overuse injuries are. According to the Mayo Clinic, overuse injuries are caused by repetitive trauma. These injuries affect muscles or joints, and may be caused by training errors or mistakes with technique. Training errors include exercising for too long or doing too much of a certain activity. The resulting strain caused by overuse leads to injury. One common example of a technique error that can cause an overuse injury is improper form when performing strength training exercises. That’s one reason why it’s vital for anyone beginning a new fitness regimen to consult with a coach or personal trainer prior to starting. Coaches and personal trainers can illustrate proper techniques when using strength training equipment or lifting free weights. Such instruction can greatly reduce athletes’ risk for overuse injuries. Can other factors contribute to overuse injuries? Athletes should know that overuse injuries are not always a result of errors with their training or technique. A 2014 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine noted that certain intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors can increase athletes’ risk for overuse injuries. Intrinsic risk factors for overuse injury include misalignment issues, leg length discrepancy, muscle imbalance, muscle weakness, and body composition. Adults and parents of young athletes should discuss fitness regimens with their physicians or children’s pediatricians prior to beginning a routine. Such a discussion may uncover intrinsic risk factors athletes are unaware they have. Extrinsic risk factors for overuse injuries include surfaces; equipment, including shoes; environmental conditions; and nutrition. Athletes can act as their own watchdogs to prevent overuse injuries caused by extrinsic factors, examining equipment and playing surfaces to ensure they’re functional and safe, and eating a well-balanced, nutritious diet. Overuse injuries are almost always preventable. Though it can be hard to take a break from an exercise routine that’s producing results, rest is integral to a successful fitness regimen. The COVID-19 pandemic has left many people scrambling for ways to unwind without risking their health or the health of others. For more than a year, opportunities to let loose and have fun have been stymied by the cancellation of concerts, theater shows, sporting events, family holidays, and so much more in the name of public safety. Individuals can look to coping strategies to find silver linings. Pampering oneself can be a healthy and enjoyable endeavor to explore. Pampering means different things to different people. Pampering involves indulging in self-care strategies to improve mental, physical and emotional health. Pampering can provide a respite from stress, enabling one to switch off his or her brain for a bit. Rest assured that pampering doesn’t have to involve big expenses, and many pampering sessions can take place right at home. The following are five pampering ideas to explore. 1. Take a nap Getting enough restful sleep is essential for your overall health. The Sleep Foundation says people who work multiple jobs or for extended hours may not have enough time for sufficient sleep, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates one in three American adults do not get enough sleep. Getting seven or more hours of sleep per night is devote time all to yourself. Plus, you’ll have the benefit of walking out of the salon looking like the best version of yourself. 4. Take a hot bath People may be pressed for time when engaging in their daily beauty and grooming routines. A 10-minute shower before work might not provide the relaxation and sense of escape you need. Set aside a time in the evening to soak in the tub and let stress as well as aches and pains melt away in the water. Scent the water with essential oils for a relaxing aromatherapy session. important, but you also can add to your sleep bank by taking short naps in the early afternoon. A nap can reduce stress and elevate the mood. Stick to a snooze of 30 minutes or less. 2. Indulge in a luxurious practical item Instead of splurging on something that is whimsical or unnecessary, allocate some disposable dollars to something functional — but put a luxurious spin on it. Think of buying a set of silk bedsheets or indulge on a high-end cut of meat for a family dinner. You’ll feel rewarded without feeling guilty that you were wasteful. 3. Schedule a salon service Hair, nail or skin services enable you to get away from home for an hour or more and 5. Find a simple pleasure Display fresh flowers on the table, listen to some favorite music while cleaning the house or plan a homemade meal for yourself accompanied by a fine wine. Planning for a simple pleasure once or twice a week gives you something to look forward to. Pampering comes in many shapes and forms and is an effective way to reduce stress. �HEALTHY LIVING Ohio Valley Publishing Thursday, July 22, 2021 13 3 strategies to protect mental health Improving one’s overall health and maintaining that health over the long haul can have a profound impact on quality of life. For example, the Harvard Medical School notes that regular exercise can slow the natural decline in physical performance that occurs as people age. That means routine exercise can serve as something like a fountain of youth that allows people to keep their cardiovascular fitness, metabolism and muscle function on par with their younger counterparts. When attempting to improve long-term health, it’s important that people emphasize mental health as much as they do their physical health. The Anxiety & Depression Association of America notes the importance and effectiveness of preventive efforts in relation to depression and anxiety. In regard to mental health, prevention efforts can function in much the same way that exercise serves physical health. Routine exercise helps people to maintain healthy weights, reducing their risk for various conditions and diseases. Preventive efforts designed to improve mental health can significantly reduce a person’s risk for anxiety and depression. Various techniques and strategies can be utilized to promote mental health, and these three are simple and highly effective. 1. Get enough sleep. According to the Primary Care Collaborative, a not-for-profit member organization dedicated to advancing an effective and efficient health system, sleep and mental into overdrive, leading to more intense emotional reactions. The prefrontal cortex is another part of the brain that needs sufficient sleep to function properly. Without it, the prefrontal cortex, which is integral to impulse control, cannot function properly. Adults can speak with their physicians about how much sleep they should be getting each night. Those needs change as individuals age. health are intimately related. Sleep loss can contribute to emotional instability. The amygdala is the part of the brain responsible for humans’ emotional responses. When an individual does not get enough sleep, his or her amygdala goes Go green with personal grooming OH-70244772 Cycling to work, bringing a reusable grocery tote to the store and choosing organic products are a few of the many ways people have accepted the mission to reduce the impact their daily living has on the planet. Great initiatives have been borne out of a desire to be more eco-friendly. Indeed, eco-friendly living can extend to all parts of one’s lifestyle, including personal grooming. Small changes in daily grooming habits can benefit the planet in myriad ways. And keeping clean and looking good while protecting the planet is simpler than one may think. Reduce reliance on single-use Plastics Replace single-use items with others that are more environmentally friendly. Instead of disposable razors, purchase an electric razor or one that has changeable head inserts on a reusable handle. Eco-friendly tooth- brushes made of bamboo can help reduce reliance on plastics. Buy locally made products Opt for soaps and shampoos made from natural ingredients by local companies. The further the country of production, the more fuel and other resources necessary to get the product into your home. Scour local farmer’s markets and niche retailers in town, which often stock soaps and grooming materials made by community residents. Read product labels Avoid products that are made with chemicals in favor of those made from ingredients you understand. Such a decision can reduce harmful, potentially dangerous runoff that ultimately ends up in waterways. Select products that are sold in containers made from recycled materials or those that limit excessive packaging. 2. Eat a balanced diet. A balanced, healthy diet doesn’t just benefit the waistline. According to the ADAA, a balanced diet that includes protein, healthy non-saturated fats, fiber, and some simple carbohydrates can reduce the likelihood that mental health issues like fatigue, difficulty concentrating and irritability will arise dur- ing the day. 3. Volunteer in your community. A 2020 study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies found that people who volunteered in the past were more satisfied with their lives and rated their overall health as much better than people who didn’t volunteer. Perhaps the most noteworthy finding in the study was that people who began volunteering with lower levels of well-being tended to get the biggest boost from volunteering. Volunteering provides opportunities to socialize, which can help ward off the loneliness that can sometimes contribute to anxiety and depression. Mental health is important, and protecting it should be part of everyone’s health care regimen. �HEALTHY LIVING 14 Thursday, July 22, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Better Health Starts With Us.
