Cavalier County Republican Monday, April 29, 2019 – Page 13Public Notice

The North Dakota Democratic-NPL party elected Patrick Hart as State Party Vice Chair in Bismarck on April 14th, 2019, along with Chairwoman Kylie Oversen. Hold-ing this position also places Patrick on the National Democratic Com-mittee.

Patrick is the son of Charles Hart and Patricia (Pat) Hart Cayley life-long residents of Pembina County. He is a northeast North Dakota na-tive. Raised on a farm along the Red River south of Pembina, Pat-rick espouses the virtues of being a farm boy and a ND native. He and his wife, Melissa, reside in Bismarck with their two children, Connor and Cayley.

Patrick graduated from Pem-bina High School in 2001; received an education at UND and MSUM; completed his bachelor degree in business management at University of Mary; and received a Master’s in Project Management. He is current-ly a business owner, has worked as a fertilizer auditor for the Depart-

ment of Agriculture and served un-der the Public Service Commission in Bismarck.

Firmly grounded in party first as District 30 Chair and then as a Re-gional Representative (Region 3), Patrick exemplifies a North Dakota work ethic and progressive farm values stressing grassroots politics, public service and communication within all levels of government. Patrick stated that he was honored to be elected and “lots of hands make heavy loads seem light, thank you to all who have lent their sup-port and for those who are willing to step up and make change.”

Mr. S had gained some weight. His wife noted his snoring was get-ting worse and he was having spells when he would stop breathing dur-ing sleep. She informed his doctor who prescribed a home overnight oximetry test. This home test showed Mr. S’s oxygen levels were drop-ping dangerously low during much of night. The subsequent full sleep study indicated he would benefit from a continuous positive airway pressure or CPAP device. Five years later, the patient died from a heart at-tack, and the doctor found out that the CPAP machine stayed under his bed and was rarely, if ever, used. One study showed, despite its benefits, only 30 percent of those prescribed CPAP will actually use it.

An estimated 22 million Ameri-cans suffer from sleep apnea and the majority don’t know they have it. Their sleep is interrupted by snor-ing, choking and prolonged spells of low oxygen levels. Their days are troubled by fatigue, sleepiness, often abnormal heart rhythms and heart failure. Their risk of stroke over five years is two to three times higher than usual and risk of all-cause premature death three to five times higher. One estimate is that 38,000 annual deaths in the U.S. will occur from heart disease due to untreated sleep apnea.

Making the diagnosis is challeng-

ing. In 2016, we gave a standardized questionnaire to screen for sleep ap-nea to 67 people who were 70-years-old or older. Following that, we tested all 67 with home overnight oximetry. Of the 67 tested, 42 percent were nor-mal, 31 percent had mild sleep apnea and 26 percent had moderate to se-vere sleep apnea. Conclusions from my study were that in this older age group, the commonly used screening questionnaires for sleep apnea miss-es the diagnosis half the time, about one out of four have life-threatening sleep apnea and, in this older popu-lation, women and men are equally burdened by this condition.

Anyone with heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, a history of heavy snoring or observed spells of apnea (and maybe anyone reaching 70) would benefit from a home over-night oximetry test and, if this test is abnormal, from a full sleep study. If CPAP is prescribed, it would be wise for that individual to make every ef-fort to use the CPAP device, know-ing that this non-medicinal therapy reduces death rate by three to five times.

Many premature deaths, especial-ly from heart disease, could be pre-vented by first discovering the diag-nosis of sleep apnea and then, when apropos, by taking the CPAP cure.

Prairie Doc® Perspectives:Taking the cure for sleep apnea

By Richard P. Holm, MD

Where were you in 1979?I know some of my readers were

adults at the time; others were teens or children. Others weren’t born yet.

We recently celebrated the 40th birthday of the North Dakota Nu-trition Council at the annual con-ference. Our keynote speaker, Judi Adams, who retired from the Wheat Foods Council, walked us through decades of changes in nutrition rec-ommendations.

Trust me: Much has changed in the last four decades in popular cul-ture, daily conveniences and nutri-tion recommendations.

People had only a few TV chan-nels to choose from in 1979. “Mork and Mindy,” “Happy Days,” “La-verne and Shirley,” “Little House on the Prairie,” “Dallas” and “The Love Boat” were among the most popular programs. Do you remember rabbit ears and aluminum foil?

Of course, cellphones weren’t in everyone’s hands. In 1979, we were lucky if we had a long phone cord on the only phone in the house.

You couldn’t take a photo with your phone and upload it to Face-book to share with your friends im-mediately. You had to send film away to be developed, and you hoped peo-ple had their eyes open in the photos when you received the prints in the mail.

The Sony Walkman was intro-duced in 1979 with a hefty price tag for the time: $150. We didn’t have ear buds and YouTube.

Most people were wearing a lot of polyester back 40 years ago. Men, did you have a leisure suit or two? Oh, admit it. Your dad and grandpa probably did, anyway. Those poly-ester knit clothes probably look as good as new if you found them in a closet today.

In 1979, “Superman the Movie” was launched, along with “Rocky II,” the “Muppet Movie” and “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” The Bee Gees, Rod Stewart, Blondie, Gloria Gaynor and Michael Jackson were popular.

Time flies, doesn’t it?What about food and nutrition?

In 1979, nutrition experts were gear-ing up to launch the first U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans in 1980.

We certainly weren’t ordering “Uber Eats” with an app on our cell-phone. Eating out was a big treat for most families four decades ago, and coffee houses did not dot the land-scape of urban America, beckoning us with caloric lattes and mochas.

Special “kid food” didn’t emerge until McDonald’s Happy Meals were introduced in 1979. Of course, we weren’t taking pictures of our res-taurant meal and Snap-chatting or Tweeting it to our friends.

Restaurant portions were much smaller in 1979, too. Most people were smaller as well. Despite smaller waistlines, fad diets were popular then, as they are now. In 1979, the Atkins diet was popular, as was the Scarsdale diet. Neither gets two thumbs up from nutrition experts, then or now.

Back then, nutrition research pointed toward recommending low-fat diets. Now our messages point to choosing healthful fats, not necessar-ily fat-free foods. Eating less salt was a focus in 1979, and it remains as a focus in 2019.

Carbs were considered “bad” by some in 1979, and some people shun carbs today, too. However, people who eat low-carb diets may be lack-ing in several vitamins and minerals, and their diet choices may have ad-verse effects on their heart, muscles, kidneys and other organs.

Forty years ago, eggs were on the “bad” list due to their cholesterol content. More recently, cholesterol restrictions were removed, and now nutrition experts are debating the best level of dietary cholesterol that is healthful.

Moderation is the key for most things.

Many things have changed, but some things have stayed the same. We in nutrition still are trying to get everyone to eat more fruits and veg-etables because 90 percent of adults shortchange themselves on the rec-ommendation (4 1/2 cups fruits and vegetables daily).

If you are looking for a healthful diet to follow, remember two diets: The Mediterranean diet and DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hyper-

tension) diet are considered among the top diets that promote health to-day.

These are the key messages from the most recent national nutrition guidance available at https://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Which ones do you achieve on most days?

• Make half your plate fruits and vegetables: vary your veggies and focus on whole fruits.

• Make half your grains whole grains.

• Vary your protein routine. Make one-fourth of your plate protein.

• Move to low-fat or fat-free milk or yogurt.

• Drink water instead of sugary drinks.

The other morning, I listened to radio announcers talking about a food trend from the last several years: meals in a bowl. I’m not talk-ing about soup.

A meal in a bowl consists of lay-ers of ingredients, which you can set up as a “create your own meal” buf-fet with several options for a family gathering.

Instead of a recipe, we will get a little creative this week with some basics from an NDSU Extension handout. For a printable copy, see www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/foods/fn1757.pdf.

5 Steps to Making Your Own Meal in a Bowl

1) Choose one grain. Add 1/2 cup of your favorite grain, such as cooked brown rice, quinoa, wild rice or whole-grain pasta.

2) Choose one or more vegetables. For example, add 1/2 cup of veggies, such as a mixture of chopped bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, spinach, carrots or mushrooms.

3) Add some fruit. For example, add 1/2 cup of chopped apples, peaches or mandarin oranges.

4) Choose one or more proteins. Add about 2 ounces of protein to your creation, such as cooked lean ground beef, lean ham, chopped roasted chicken or black beans, or an-other of your favorite protein foods.

5) Choose one or more sauces or seasonings. Try teriyaki or sweet and sour sauce for an Asian-inspired bowl, or taco sauce or salsa for a Mexican-inspired bowl.
