Good morninghypothyroidism: How more than 2-3 percent of Americans greet the day
(BPT) — Many of us have a morningroutine. However, millions of Ameri-cans say "good morning" a little differ-ently. For individuals living with theincurable condition of hypothyroidism, their morning routine islikely to include taking medication at the same time before break-fast each morning, as prescribed by their doctor.According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinol-
ogists, medication adherence is important for helping the bodyfunction when it comes to thyroid care. To help patients, AbbVielaunched Good Morning Hypothyroidism (GMH), a program thatfocuses on creating a daily routine to help manage the life-longcondition of hypothyroidism. When and how patients take theirmedication can affect the way the body absorbs it, so resourcesencouraging patients to establish and follow to a daily routine areimportant.Hypothyroidism, an underactive thyroid gland, is a common
condition in which the thyroid gland cannot produce enough thy-roid hormone to keep the body functioning properly, accordingto the American Thyroid Association. The thyroid gland is a but-terfly-shaped endocrine gland located in the lower front of theneck, which produces thyroid hormones that help regulate certainfunctions of the body. Hypothyroidism affects millions of peoplein the U.S. and as many as 10 percent of women may have somedegree of thyroid hormone deficiency, according to an en-docrineweb.com report."Helping patients understand hypothyroidism and providing
them with useful information is our primary goal," says JordanGeller, M.D., board-certified Internist and Endocrinologist andpast Clinical Chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, andMetabolism at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. "Good MorningHypothyroidism inspires patients to learn about their life-longcondition and encourages a community of support for all thoseaffected by hypothyroidism."GMH provides tips for establishing a morning routine to ensure
consistent treatment compliance, including:
In sight, in mind: Keep your medication near one of the firstthings you see or use when you wake up, such as your phone ortoothbrush.Leave a note: Leave a sticky note reminder where you're sure to
see it. If you walk your dog each morning, attach a reminder noteto your dog's leash. If you read the morning news on your phoneor tablet, place a note on that.Know you've taken it: Turn your medicine bottle or pillbox up-
side down after taking your medication each morning. Beforegoing to sleep, turn the bottle right side up so you remember totake it again in the morning.Keep it straight: Use a weekly pillbox to ensure you take your
medication as your doctor prescribes. Sign up to get "pill and refillreminders" via text or email at ourmorningroutine.com/medica-tion/pill-reminder.The program aims to help patients better manage their hy-
pothyroidism by fostering a spirit of connection and a sense ofcommunity through tools and resources such as a patient journal,medication refill reminder and a network of hypothyroidism pa-tients. This patient network, called the Before Breakfast Club Am-bassadors, shares stories of individuals' diagnoses, routines andhow they manage their hypothyroidism every day at ourmorn-ingroutine.com/support/before-breakfast-club."Upon receiving my hypothyroidism diagnosis, I was uncertain
about what it would mean to manage a lifelong condition," saysElisa A., from Tennessee. "It was important for me to recognize I'mnot on this journey alone. By consulting closely with my physician,I've learned important tools to manage my condition. And by nur-turing connections with a community of individuals living withhypothyroidism, I've felt inspired and empowered by others ontheir own patient journey."To learn more, visit OurMorningRoutine.com.

In the last few years, researchers have made startlingconnections with good hearing and mental fitness.Conversely, we have learned that a loss of hearingrepresents more than just difficulty hearing sounds.It often leads to social isolation and depression. Studiesseem to show that hearing loss may also be linked toloss of memory and thinking skills.Johns Hopkins researchers found that declines in
thinking skills happened faster among people withhearing loss than those without it. Diminished hearingcan lead to less brain stimulation. It's clear that hearing loss is more than 'just' a hearingissue.

(BPT) - That healthy smile may not be so healthy. Twenty-onepercent of children and 91 percent of adults have caries (com-monly referred to as tooth decay) in their permanent adult teeth,according to a recent National Health and Nutrition ExaminationSurvey (NHNES).But a recent breakthrough is available to help support oral
health--in a sugar free chocolate flavored soft chew.An article published in February's RDH Magazine discusses the
discovery and importance of beneficial bacteria that live in themouth. It's been known for over a century that certain bad bacte-ria in dental plaque are able to convert sugars from the diet to acid,which is bad for teeth. After decades of researching the microor-ganisms in the mouth, Dr. Israel Kleinberg, DDS and Distin-guished Professor in the Department of Oral Biology at StonyBrook University School of Dental Medicine, discovered beneficialbacteria that also live in dental plaque. Dr. Kleinberg isolated a nu-trient in saliva called arginine, which these "good" bacteria use tonaturally produce tooth-protecting buffers. This process can helpneutralize the acids from the harmful bacteria and help keep theteeth in a normal pH (acid/base) balance.Healthy saliva also contains calcium and bicarbonate that help
preserve healthy tooth enamel and provide additional buffering.Stony Brook researchers combined arginine, calcium and bicar-bonate and patented this vital blend of nutrients that fuels the
mouth's natural defensives. These key tooth-supporting ingredi-ents have been added to BasicBites, a sugar free chocolate flavoredchew that is now being recommended by leading dental profes-sionals.Here are six ways to help children and even adults maintain
their oral health.1. Two BasicBites a day can help preserve healthy teeth. Rec-
ommended for adults and children over the age of six, thesecandy-like chews nourish beneficial oral bacteria, while support-ing enamel health. They are also an excellent source of calcium.
2. Minimize sugary foods and drinks and if you do eat them,avoid sticky foods that can get stuck on teeth. This even includesdried fruit, bread and crackers. Children should choose water andlow-fat milk as health beverage alternatives.
3. Limit between-meal snacks. If children crave a snack, offerthem nutritious foods.
4. If your kids chew gum, make it sugarless. Chewing sugarlessgum after eating can increase saliva flow and helps wash out foodsthat produce acids.
5. Help your children develop good brushing and flossinghabits.
6. Schedule regular dental visits.BasicBites are also recommended for people with dry mouth, a
condition that affects approximately 30 percent of all adults in theUnited States. Chronic dry mouth can cause significant oral healthissues and damage teeth.

(StatePoint) Daily stress in a busy life can chal-lenge immune system function. No matter whatseason it is, it’s important to continually build ro-bust immunity, say experts.“The immune system is incredibly complex
and we’re learning more each day about whatweakens it and how we can strengthen it for bet-ter health,” says Larry Robinson, PhD, vice presi-dent of scientific affairs at Embria HealthSciences, a manufacturer of natural, science-based ingredients that support wellness and vi-tality.One of the most effective strategies for main-
taining a healthy immune system may just becommon sense. Harvard Medical School callshealthy-living strategies a “first line of defense.”To boost the immune system and every other
part of the body, treat your body right. Drink inmoderation. Quit smoking. Eat a well-balanceddiet. Get regular exercise and plenty of sleep.Many people believe that taking a multivita-
min or vitamin C is enough to maintain a strongimmune system, but the truth is you may want amore multifaceted approach to your supplementregimen. Robinson recommends looking for anatural immune supplement, particularly onethat contains EpiCor, a whole food yeast fermen-tate supplement comprised of proteins, fibers,polyphenols, vitamins, amino acids, beta-glu-cans and beneficial metabolites that work to-
gether on many levels to support a strong im-mune system.EpiCor can now be found in many natural,
trusted brands, including Hyperbiotics Immune:Daily Immune & Wellness Formula, which alsooffers targeted probiotic support, zinc, vitamin Cand Echinacea in a time release tablet.Another immune boosting supplement to con-
sider is Natrol Immune Boost, which containsEpiCor, vitamin C, vitamin D, Zinc and Selenium,clinically-validated ingredients to help supportyour body’s ability to stay healthy. The brand hasconsistently achieved the highest “A” rating fromthe Natural Products Association.The mind-body connection is powerful, and
studies have shown that stress -- both temporaryand chronic -- can compromise one’s immunity.Be mindful of the stressors in your life and takesteps to reduce or eliminate their causes.While you may not be able to quit your job, you
can make a point to schedule a vacation or makebetter use of your leisure time. You can also takestock of what causes you stress and think aboutways of managing your reactions to troublingpeople and circumstances.You may not think about how to strengthen the
immune system until falling ill, but it works toprotect you every day. Think beyond vitamin Cand take comprehensive steps to support yourimmunity now and in the future.

(StatePoint) Are you experiencing heart palpitations, shortnessof breath, fatigue and discomfort around your heart? You could beexperiencing atrial fibrillation (AF or AFib), the most commonheart rhythm disorder. Recognizing signs and symptoms is essen-tial to early diagnosis and effective treatment.Affecting about three million Americans, AF is a rapid heartbeat,
which can lead to poor blood flow and increased risk of seriousconditions, including stroke and heart failure. AF is the result of abnormal electrical impulses, which travel
chaotically throughout the upper chambers of the heart, causingthe atria to contract so quickly the heart loses its ability to pumpefficiently. This may cause blood to pool in the heart, where it canclot. If a clot travels to the brain, it can cause a stroke. A recentstudy by researchers from Boston University found that peoplewith AF are nearly five times more likely to have a stroke.“All types of patients of all ages should monitor heart rate and
blood pressure regularly, and seek medical help when they don’tfeel well. Even short bursts of palpitations may be the beginningof persistent or chronic AF,” says Dr. Leo Polosajian, an electro-physiologist and founder of Cardiac Rhythm Specialists in Reseda,CA.Unfortunately, many AF patients don’t experience symptoms
until an event happens.“While biking my normal route, my heart rate rose and I
couldn’t breathe. I pretty much went into sudden cardiac death,”says Todd Smiland, a patient of Polosajian’s. “Luckily the ambu-lance made it to me in seven minutes and they were able to defib-
rillate me back to life, essentially. That pretty much started all ofmy heart issues.”By correcting abnormal conduction fibers in the heart through
ablation, its electrical system may be repaired and the heart mayreturn to a normal rhythm. One of the newest innovations usescontact force ablation technology, which gives physicians a real-time, objective measure of force applied to the heart during theprocedure.“I felt this patient was an ideal candidate for an ablation proce-
dure instead of medication, which only treats symptoms. Whenpatients don’t respond to medication or it’s not an optimal therapyoption, I turn to radiofrequency ablation,” says Polosajian.“It was like night and day,” says Smiland, who after receiving ab-
lation treatment, resumed activities he previously enjoyed.According to Polosajian, Smiland’s experience may not repre-
sent those of all patients, but a recent FDA review found ablationhad at least a 47 percent greater success rate than medication.“This patient’s experience is what all physicians hope to
achieve,” says Polosajian.It’s important to note there are risks and potential adverse
events associated with ablation procedures, including but not lim-ited to cardiovascular related complications, such as hematoma,effusion and infection. Contact force ablation may not be appro-priate for patients who have had certain recent heart surgeries,prosthetic valves, active systemic infection or have undergoneother major vascular procedures. Patients should consult withtheir physicians about options.

Healthy Sleeping Tips for Young Children
(StatePoint) For babies and young children, high qual-ity sleep is crucial for development and overall health.By adopting good, safe sleep habits early, the entire fam-ily can get the rest needed to thrive.“I’ve heard it quoted that anyone who says they ‘sleep
like a baby’ has never been a parent! Ask most parentsand one of their top priorities is for both kids and parentsto get more sleep,” says Dr. Deena Blanchard, a partnerat Premier Pediatrics in NYC.However, any sleep children do get should be as safe as pos-
sible, as sleeping presents hazards just like any other activity.With that in mind, Blanchard is offering parents great tips forhelping young ones sleep soundly and safely.• At around six to eight weeks of age, infants start to develop
circadian rhythms. At this point, create a consistent routine be-fore bedtime, such as dimming lights. Your baby will start to pickup on these habits as sleep cues.• For safety, the crib should be free of bumpers, blankets, pil-
lows, wedges and stuffed animals.• Sleep safety evolves as your child develops, so consider de-
velopmental milestones. Once your little one rolls over, makesure that she is no longer swaddled. It’s always best to put yourbaby on her back to sleep, but once your baby rolls over, it’s notnecessary to go into the room and flip her onto her back. Like-wise, when your child starts to pull to stand, make sure the crib
mattress is adjusted to the lowest level and there are no nearbyitems that she can pull into the crib.• Go green. Choose paint, furniture and a baby mattress for
your child’s bedroom that are free of harmful chemicals. Readlabels carefully. Conventional and even organic mattresses typ-ically have waterproof covers that contain PVCs that childrenbreathe in all night. However, a mattress made from fiberswoven to create air pockets offers maximum breathability.For example, the Newton Wovenaire Crib Mattress, does not
emit chemicals, and is a safe option that does not compromisecomfort. Its breathable design prevents overheating and in anindependent scientific study, the mattress demonstrated signif-icantly lower suffocation risk as compared to other crib mat-tresses. More information can be found at www.newton.rest.• Children tend to make a mess. Keep bedding clean and
avoid build-up of bacteria or mold. Wash linens regularly andseek out a washable mattress.
“One of the most important things I`velearned as a parent is that there are manythings you don’t have control over,” says Dr.Blanchard. “However, creating a safe andcomfortable sleep space is something you cancontrol, and doing so can help your wholefamily sleep more soundly.”
