Health Tip of the Week
Who is Likely to Have Pre-diabetes?
People with pre-diabetes have blood sugar levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. They are at higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes and other serious health problems, including heart disease, and stroke. Without lifestyle changes to improve their health, 15% to 30% of people with pre-diabetes will develop type 2 diabetes within 5 years.
People with the following risk factors are more likely to develop pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes:
  • 45 years of age or older.
  • Overweight.
  • Have a parent with diabetes.
  • Have a sister or brother with diabetes.
  • Family background is African American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian, Asian American, or Pacific Islander.
  • Developed diabetes while pregnant (gestational diabetes), or gave birth to a baby weighing 9 pounds or more.
  • Physically active less than three times a week.
Pre-diabetes is a serious health condition yet the vast majority of people with pre-diabetes do not know they have the condition, according to CDC research. People whose test results indicate they have pre-diabetes should have their blood glucose levels checked again in 6 months to 1 year.

Health Tip of the Week
Get Your Vitamin K - Kale is the New Spinach
Kale is one of the healthiest veggies you can put on your plate. One serving, which contains just 30 calories, provides a day's worth of vitamin C, twice the recommended daily intake of vitamin A, and nearly seven times the recommended amount of vitamin K. Add a sizable dose of minerals and healthy fatty acids, and you've got yourself a nutrition powerhouse. But due to its sturdy texture and slightly bitter flavor, kale can be more challenging to cook with than some other greens. Don't be intimidated!
Acorn Squash and Kale Over Penne
  • 6 cups (1-inch) cubed peeled acorn squash (about 2 medium squash)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 cups (about 5 ounces) coarsely chopped trimmed kale
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 4 cups hot cooked penne
  • 2/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1. Place squash in a casserole dish with 1/4 cup water. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave 7 minutes on HIGH or until tender.
    2. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add kale and broth; cover. Cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover; cook 1 minute. Stir in the salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in squash and pasta, tossing gently. Sprinkle with cheese.

    Health Tip of the Week

    February is National Children's Dental Health Month & City Dental Plan Reminder


    Tooth Friendly Foods for Kids

    A balanced diet helps your child build a healthy body—and that includes strong teeth. It also helps keep little gums in good shape. On the other hand, eating too many sugars and starches can increase your child’s risk of tooth decay. Below are some tips on helping your child make smart food choices:

    • Serve your child a variety of healthful foods. Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and milk and dairy products. Also include protein foods, such as lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts.
    • Notice when your child eats foods with sugar or starch in them. Sugar is found not only in sweets, but also in fruits, some vegetables, most milk products, and many processed foods—even some that don’t taste sweet. Starch is found in breads, crackers, pasta, and many snack foods. The goal is not to cut out all these foods. Instead, aim to choose and use them wisely.
    • Serve sugary or starchy foods with a meal rather than by themselves. Since more saliva is released during a meal, it helps wash food particles off the teeth. This reduces the chance for cavities.
    • Limit the number of snack times during the day. When your child does snack, offer him or her nutritious foods. Kid-pleasing examples include cheese, raw veggies, plain yogurt, or a piece of fruit.
    • Read food labels. Avoid foods and drinks with lots of added sugar, such as soft drinks, candy, and other sweets. Also skip the high-starch, low-nutrition snacks, such as chips.
    • Beware of sticky foods, such as chewy candy. These foods are not easily washed away by a drink or saliva. As a result, they have high cavity-causing potential.

    Health Tip of the Week
    7 Tips to a Better Sleep
    You're not doomed to toss and turn every night. Consider simple tips for better sleep, from setting a sleep schedule to including physical activity in your daily routine.
    • Stick to a sleep schedule - Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, even on weekends, holidays and days off. Being consistent reinforces your body's sleep-wake cycle and helps promote better sleep at night.
    • Pay attention to what you eat and drink - Don't go to bed either hungry or stuffed. Your discomfort might keep you up.
    • Create a bedtime ritual - Do the same things each night to tell your body it's time to wind down.
    • Get comfortable - Create a room that's ideal for sleeping. Often this means cool, dark and quiet.
    • Limit daytime naps - Long daytime naps can interfere with nighttime sleep — especially if you're struggling with insomnia or poor sleep quality at night. If you choose to nap during the day, limit yourself to about 10 to 30 minutes and make it during the midafternoon.
    • Include physical activity in your daily routine - Regular physical activity can promote better sleep, helping you to fall asleep faster and to enjoy deeper sleep. Timing is important, though. If you exercise too close to bedtime, you might be too energized to fall asleep.
    • Manage stress - When you have too much to do — and too much to think about — your sleep is likely to suffer. To help restore peace to your life, consider healthy ways to manage stress. Start with the basics, such as getting organized, setting priorities and delegating tasks.
    Know when to contact your doctor - Nearly everyone has an occasional sleepless night, but if you often have trouble sleeping, contact your doctor. Identifying and treating any underlying causes can help you get the better sleep you deserve.

    Health Tip of the Week
    Eat Fruit
    Eating fruit provides health benefits - people who eat more fruits and vegetables as part of an overall healthy diet are likely to have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases. Fruits provide nutrients vital for health and maintenance of your body.
    Still keeping that promise to yourself to eat better this year? Here are some general tips to help you get some fruit into your diet:
  • Keep a bowl of whole fruit on the table, counter, or in the refrigerator.
  • Refrigerate cut-up fruit to store for later.
  • Buy fresh fruits in season when they may be less expensive and at their peak flavor.
  • Buy fruits that are dried, frozen, and canned (in water or 100% juice) as well as fresh, so that you always have a supply on hand.
  • Consider convenience when shopping. Try pre-cut packages of fruit (such as melon or pineapple chunks) for a healthy snack in seconds. Choose packaged fruits that do not have added sugars.

    I know that there was an email, on the list-serve today, about dogs being allowed to run at large. These dogs were not accompanied by any owners-they were unattended and running free. I would like to remind all Island residents and visitors that there is a leash law. You cannot have your dog off leash unless you are in a city dog park--and there is not a dog park on Peaks!! We do not have a holding facility on Peaks for dogs. If we cannot reunite you with your dog, the holding facility is at the Westbrook Animal Refuge League. You will not only have to retrieve your pet, you will be summonsed for allowing a dog to run at large. Please keep your dogs on a leash or supervised in your yard. If you see this occurring take the time to give us a call-we cannot take action hours or days later.

    Health Tip of the Week
    Eat More Breakfast
    If you eat just a bagel and coffee, you get a quick stimulant from the caffeine and quick energy from the carbs - a recipe for a crash. Instead, go for a mix of unrefined carbs (for fast energy) plus lean protein and healthy fat (which take longer to digest, giving you more staying power.) Think scrambled egg in a whole-grain tortilla or oatmeal topped with nuts.

    Health Tip of the Week

    Get Moving

    Not an a.m. exerciser? Rethink your idea of a workout. In a University of Georgia study, people who did a low-intensity aerobic activity (think a leisurely walk) three times a week had a greater reduction in fatigue levels than folks who did higher intensity workouts (like a faster-paced walk with hills) for the same amount of time.

    If you tend to drag in the morning or you’re overall exhausted, a tough workout can be more draining than invigorating. “And if you’re not in top shape, a high-intensity workout forces you to expend major energy, leaving your body tired,” says exercise physiologist Michael Bracko, EdD.

    Motivation to do some activity: The study found regular exercise generally increased energy levels by 20%.

    Will you consider adopting a hydrant?

    Here on Peaks it is one Police Officer and one Fire Fighter who clear out all the hydrants.

    PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER 6)- We all know how awful shoveling is after a big storm, but imagine having to shovel over 100 fire hydrants with just two other people.
    That's what members of the Portland Fire Department are faced with each storm. The city has about 1,600 hydrants they're responsible for digging out, which means each fire truck or ambulance with a crew of just three is assigned about 120 hydrants each.
    It can take the department up to 3 days after a storm to clear all of the hydrants, especially if plows are out for a few days blocking a once-cleared hydrants back in again.
    There is a program called "Adopt A Hydrant" in which towns and cities ask their residents to clear out the hydrant near them. That helps these crews that are out doing back-breaking work while still responding to rescue and fire calls.
    There's no need to sign up for a hydrant, but departments ask if you do clear one, to shovel at least 3 feet of space all around it to allow plenty of space for a hose to be attached without kinking.
