Have A Happier New Year ...by enjoying a healthier holiday season! Ask A Garden City Hospital Health Expert Your New Year’s resolutions don’t have to be drastic, if you end your year on a healthy note. GCH Health Expert and Internal Medicine physician, Dr. Christina Blevins, offers up this perfect portion of holiday wellness advice.

Dr. Christina Blevins Q: What foods should I avoid this Thanksgiving? internal Medicine A: I say stay away from the ones you don’t like. Other than that, eat what you love and what makes you feel as though you’re really celebrating. Just keep your portions small and enjoy every single bite.

Q: How many calories are in the traditional Thanksgiving dinner? A: If you believe the American Council on Exercise, and I do, it’s 3,000 calories, and 229 grams of fat. Ouch. But so much of that comes down to preparation and portion size. Certainly you can still eat turkey, mashed potatoes, LOADS of veggies and a slice of pie and come in way below that. Q: Are the sleepy effects of tryptophan something to really worry about after eating turkey? Enjoy free coffee and donuts and get answers to A: Tryptophan may contribute to making you sleepy, but it’s not the same your questions about the benefits, services and as taking a sleeping pill. You can overcome the lethargy by getting up resources available to military veterans, including: and moving after your meal.

Fam ily gatherings spark talk about elder care

Holidays are a time for families to gather together for celebrating, reminiscing and sharing the joys of the season. It’s also a time when out-of- town family members may suddenly be con­ fronted with the declin­ ing health of a loved one. Those taking care of aging family members are often unable to fully convey to those living far away the true needs of an elderly parent. So family gatherings are a good time to start the con­ versation about handling long-term health care needs. The first step should be gathering together all involved family mem­ bers, including the per­ son needing care. It’s important to take the time, while you have it, to develop a strategy for how things should be handled when a loved one eventually needs care. Create a checklist of topics to discuss by vis­ iting www.longterm- care.gov. Click on the “LTC Pathfinder” link, answer simple questions Family gatherings are a perfect time to talk about housing and health care options for aging loved ones, g e tty im a g e s and this valuable tool will generate a list of topics to helping to avoid a fall. ment communities pro­ any at all.
