NUTRITION QUIZ: Doritos
Q: Besides watching
salt in my diet, are
there any foods I can
eat that can help
reduce my blood
pressure and risk of
stroke?
A.Y.,
Philadelphia
A: Its really true that an apple a
day can keep the doctor away at
least when it comes to strokes. Eat-
ing fruit with white edible portions,
such as apples and pears, can reduce
the risk of stroke by 52 percent, ac-
cording to researchers from Wagen-
ingen University in the Netherlands
(source: Stroke: Journal of the Amer-
ican Heart Association). Their 10-
year study involved 20,069 adults,
with an average age of 41 years. None
of the participants had any cardio-
vascular disease at the onset. The
researchers documented 233 strokes
during the 10 year follow up period.
They found that although stroke
incidence was not affected by the
consumption of orange/yellow fruits
like oranges or grapefruit or red/
purple fruits/veggies, they found that
a high intake of white fruits and veg-
etables like apples, pears, cauliflower,
banana and cucumber was associated
with a 52 percent lower risk of devel-
oping stroke. Potatoes are not part of
this white veggie group. There was a
9 percent reduced risk of stroke for
every 25 gram increase in daily white
fruits/veggies. An average sized ap-
ple weighs about 100 grams.
Also, increasing ones consumption
of potassium (found in bananas, or-
ange juice and tomatoes) may help
lower blood pressure and regulate
heart rhythm which may, in turn,
lower stroke risk.
Q: What is the difference between
vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty? Do
you recommend either of these pro-
cedures? My mother has bad osteopo-
rosis and recently broke two ver-
tebrae in her back and Im wondering
if they might help.
M.A., Lima, Ohio
A: Both are minimally invasive
procedures to fuse and repair broken
vertebral (spinal) bones using special
cement. The intent is to provide
rapid and dramatic pain relief and
restorative function in the setting of
a recent vertebral fracture. In fact, in
just one hour after the procedure, a
treated patient can walk. While ver-
tebroplasty involves injection of the
cement into the fractured area, ky-
phoplasty employs a special balloon
to prop up the collapsed area of spine
before filling in the deformed area
with cement. Neither procedure is
appropriate for a herniated disc or
for a healed (chronic) vertebral frac-
ture.

Those of us lucky enough to growold must contend
withthemiserablestereotypes of what its like: thefrail-
ty, the forgetfulness, the early bird specials.
But inaging, as inmany things, attitude canmake all
thedifference. Researchhasshownthat howpeoplefeel
inside, and their expectations of their capabilities, can
have a greater impact on health, happiness and even
longevity than the date on their birth certificates.
In her seminal counterclockwise study, in 1979,
Harvard University psychologist Ellen Langer brought

ost people wouldnt think of combining seeming-
ly polar opposite pursuits such as Pilates and
boxing. But the odd pairing makes perfect sense
to one fitness instructor.
Former dancer and certified Pi-
lates teacher Viveca Jensen thought
the mindful core-strengthening
properties of Pilates would comple-
ment and counterbalance the quick
cardio-heavy pace of noncontact
boxing with weighted gloves. The
class she created, called Piloxing, is
a prime example of a fusion fitness
class, one that melds two often dis-
parate disciplines and throws in an
element of fun to create a compre-
hensive, challenging workout.
These combination classes are
really popular right now, says Pat
Soley, group exercise director at
The Sports Club/LA. That gym of-
fers a class called The Barre Code,
which combines ballet moves, Pi-
lates and core conditioning. Some
people found that they didnt need a
whole Pilates mat class, or they
didnt want to stretch for an hour.
They want to gainthe benefits of dif-
ferent disciplines, but they want to
compress it.
Jensen, whose main studio is in
Toluca Lake, came up with Piloxing
because she wanted to offer a class
that featured cardio, core strength,

People try all these insane
diets, then give up when they
dont lose weight and dont feel
any better, says Vik Khanna, ex-
ecutive director of Health and
Wellness for Mercy Health Min-
istry in Chesterfield, Mo.
Instead, Khanna recommends
baby steps to fitness as in
walking.
Its one of the things that is
very underrated, Khanna says.
Walkingis the universal best ex-
ercise. Its accessible. Most of us
can do it into our 80s and 90s.
Not only will you feel better,
you can also improve your mem-
ory and maybe even live longer.
Hows that for multitasking?
A study published earlier this
year in the Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences
found that regular walking im-
proved older peoples ability to
remember things. Also, says
Khanna, studies show that ol-
der adults who walk faster live
longer.
So, once you get up and start
putting one foot in front of the
other, then pick up your speed.
The problem is, most of us
stroll, Khanna says. Going fas-
ter will make you feel even bet-
ter, and you might lose weight.
Walkingat 2mph, a150-pound
person burns about 171 calories,
taking more than 20 hours to
lose a pound.
At 3 mph, it would take 15
hours to lose a pound.
Just one hour of walking at 3
mph, and youll burn off the ef-
fects of a 99-cent bag of M&Ms.
Getting off the couch ...
Start with a slowwalk, just a
few minutes a day
Increase time gradually
Then walk faster
Make a game out of it by
spotting an object and speeding
toward it
Let breathing return to nor-
mal then speed up again
Walk faster, live longer, remember more
ce about the era. The other group
was toldtolet themselves bewho
they were 20 years earlier.
Bytheendof experiment, both
groups of men, who upon enter-
inghadbeenhighlyreliant onrel-
atives todothings for them, were
functioning independently, ac-
tively completing chores, and
showed significant improve-
ments in hearing, memory,
strength and intelligence tests.
The group told to behave like
they were 20 years younger also
showedbetter dexterity, flexibili-
ty andlookedyounger, according
to outside observers who judged
photos of the participants taken
before andafter the retreat.
Expectation, not biology, leads
many elderly people to set physi-
cal limits on themselves, Langer
concluded; they assume theyll
fall apart, so they let it happen.
What we want to do is not get
older people to think of them-
selves as young, but to change
their mindsets about what it
means to be older, Langer said.
And being older doesnt have to
equal decay.
Takememory. Thirty-year-olds
forget lots of things, but they
dont blamedementia. Olderpeo-
ple jump to the conclusion that
memory failures are part of their
inevitable decline, when in fact it
could be that their values change
about whats meaningful enough
to remember, Langer said.
Rather than declare failure
whentheyarent as nimbleonthe
tennis court or spry on the stairs
as they used to be, older people
shouldrecognizethat anythingis
still possible; they just may have
to try a few different strategies,
Langer says.
Internalizing negative stereo-
types about aging can have dire
health consequences, even
among the young, some studies
suggest.
Men and women older than 50
with more positive self-percep-
tionsof aginglived7.6yearslong-
er than those with negative per-
ceptions, according to a 2002
study led by Yale University epi-
demiology and psychology pro-
fessor Becca Levy. Young,
healthy people younger than 50
who held negative attitudes to-
wardthe elderlywere more likely
to experience a cardiovascular
disorder over the next four dec-
ades than their peers who had
more positive viewof the elderly,
a 2006 study by Levy found.
Pessimism about elderly de-
cline, theresearcherssuggest, be-
comes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Other studies that look at age
identity also known as subjec-
tive, or felt, age have found
that feeling younger than you re-
ally are is linked to better health,
life satisfaction and cognitive
abilities.
Itsnotclearwhatcomesfirst: If
identifyingasyoungermakesyou
vital and sharp, or if people who
feel vital andsharpassociate that
with feeling younger, said Mar-
kusSchafer, assistantprofessorof
sociology at the University of To-
ronto, who last year published a
study on age identity while a
graduate student at Purdue Uni-
versity.
His study, in which people on
averagefelt12yearsyoungerthan
their actual age, found subjective
age was more important than
chronological age in predicting
performance on memorization
and other mental tasks 10 years
later. The cognitive benefits of
feeling young were slightly more
pronounced among women, he
said, perhaps because of greater
pressure on women to maintain
youthfulness.
Regardless of what causes the
correlation, he said, theres bene-
fit to staying engaged.
Learning new things, reading
inanewarea, at least tryingtobe-
come connected with new tech-
nologies and platforms: Those
are ways people can feel connect-
ed with the ebb and flow of the
world, Schafer said.

What we want to do is not get older people to
think of themselves as young, but to change their
mindsets about what it means to be older."
Ellen Langer
Harvard University psychologist
As a nutritional scientist, Jaak-
ko Mursu had his doubts that vi-
tamin supplements make people
healthier.
But even Mursu, a researcher
at the University of Minnesota,
was surprised by the results of
his latest study: that dietary sup-
plements actually increased the
risk of death for older women.
The study, published Oct. 10,
found that women who took
multivitamins were 6 percent
more likely to die thanothers. Vi-
tamin B6 and iron supplements
were associated with a 10 per-
cent increase indeath. Folic acid:
15 percent.
Only calciumappeared to low-
er the risk of death, according to
the report published in the Ar-
chives of Internal Medicine.
Anycompound, evenwater, is
harmful if the dose is high
enough, Mursu, the studys lead
researcher, said in an interview.
Vitamins may be essential for the
human body, he notes, but until
now, theres been little research
on the long-term consequences
of these supplements.
The results instantly prompt-
ed a backlash fromsupporters of
the $27-billion-a-year supple-
ment industry.
These researchers would
rather wait till we all get scurvy
before acknowledging any need
for supplemental nutrients, said
Duffy MacKay, vice president for
scientific and regulatory affairs
at the Council for Responsible
Nutrition.
The study, he said, may make
for interesting scientific water
cooler discussion, but certainly
does not warrant sweeping, over-
stated concerns for elderly wom-
en.
Mursu, 38, said he was pre-
pared for the backlash. They
dont like our findings, he said.
They honestly feel that theyre
doing good.
But the long-termresearch, he
said, suggests otherwise. We
felt it was our obligationtospeak
up.
Mursu and his team studied
more than 38,000 women, aged
55 or older, who took part in the
Iowa Womens Health Study
from1986 to 2008.
The studyfoundthat the wom-
en who took supplements, in
general, had healthier lifestyles
than those who didnt. They
were less likely to smoke, have
diabetes and be overweight, and
more likely toeat fruits andvege-
tables and stay physically active.
So the fact that the more health-
conscious group had higher
death rates was particularly sur-
prising, Mursu said.
By 2004, 85 percent of the
women in the study were taking
nutritional supplements, the re-
searchers found.
If we look at the numbers ...
the effect is still not that dramat-
ic, Mursu said. It doesnt cut
several years out of your life. Its
more likely months.
Still, that goes beyond what
previous studies have found,
Mursu said.
Intheir report, the researchers
concluded: Although we cannot
rule out benefits of supplements,
such as improved quality of life,
our study raises a concern re-
garding their long-term safety.
A commentary piece, publish-
ed alongside the study, suggest-
ed that consumers have been
misled about the value of supple-
ments.
We think the paradigm the
more the better is wrong, wrote
Dr. Goran Bjelakovic and Dr.
Christian Gluud, two European
physicians. Too few vitamins
may result in vitamin deficiency,
they wrote, but too many may
increase the risk of toxic effects
and disease.
But MacKay, of the Council for
Responsible Nutrition, said the
study did not prove that supple-
ments were dangerous. Its im-
portant to keep in mind that this
is an associative not a cause
and effect study, he wrote in
a prepared statement. He said
that reasonable use of dietary
supplements is just one part of a
healthy lifestyle, and that die-
tary supplements should not be
expected, inandof themselves ...
to prevent chronic disease.
Mursu agrees that the study
doesnt prove the supplements
were to blame. But it does show
that they dont prevent heart dis-
ease or cancer or extend life, he
said. I would just advise people
to put more into (an) improved
diet.
Are vitamins dangerous
for older women?

alignment and balance. She even
threwa little dance into the mix.
I wanted to incorporate it all in
an hour, she says. Those disci-
plines may seem like theyre dis-
connected from each other, but
they really do go together. The
class is divided into blocks of
high-intensity cardio (the box-
ing) with more moderate core
work and dance.
Theworldof fusionclasses has
expanded to include increasing-
ly popular core training com-
bined with group cycling; ones
that fuse Pilates, yoga and calis-
thenics; hybrids that incorporate
ballet barre work with boot
camp; andsessions that combine
high-intensity cardio with vinya-
sa yoga.
Other types of fusion classes
blend a workout with something
completely unrelated, such as a
class called Pound Pilates
with drumming.
Creators Cristina Peerenboom
and Kirsten Potenza wanted to
combine the best aspects of Pi-
lates with something that added
a more exciting element. My
stool was broken on my drum
kit, says Peerenboom, a certi-
fiedPilates mat instructor, andI
was drumming while squatting
over my kit. I realized all the
muscles in my core and my body
were working at once.
That light bulb moment be-
came the class, now offered at
Crunch Fitness in Los Angeles.
While doing core moves ei-
ther standing or sitting on mats
students keep the beat with
lightly weighted drumsticks.
Drumming not only adds some
enjoyment to the exercise, but
moving the arms with the sticks
also forces the body to work har-
der to keep the core stabilized.
Ive been running marathons
anddoingPilates for a while, and
to be honest I was completely
burned out, Peerenboom says.
I thought, if I could make this a
clever workout, you could get
even better benefits than normal
Pilates without having an obses-
sive workout. You really get into
the music while youre working
out.
As discretionary time be-
comes more and more scarce for
many people, a one-hour class
that offers various elements such
as stretching, resistance training
and cardio becomes more ap-
pealing. Its also a good way to
dip a toe into a workout that
might be intimidating for first-
timers, such as yoga or boxing.
If (a fusion class) can get
someone to do boxing when
theyve never tried something
like that before, great, says Neal
Pire, president of New Jersey-
based Inspire Training Systems
anda fellowof the AmericanCol-
lege of Sports Medicine. Or
maybe theyve done Pilates be-
fore but private classes are too
expensive. A Pilates/boxing
class might be a good answer,
and it might turn them on to do-
ing more activity.
But for purists, combining dis-
ciplines may not be such a good
thingif basic principles andtech-
niques get watered down. Some
fear that the tenets of yoga might
be lost, traditional ballet posi-
tions could turn sloppy and a
mean right hook could lose its
sting.
If someone is looking for a
pure Pilates experience, then
they should take a pure Pilates
class, says Shirley Archer, a
Florida-based former IDEA
Health & Fitness Association in-
structor of the year andauthor of
Fitness 9 to 5: Easy Exercises
for the Working Week. But if
youre just interested in experi-
encing a new kind of class, then
its great to do something that
combines things you may be in-
terested in.
Fusion classes, Archer adds,
tend to be developed by fitness
professionals who understand
and design movements in a re-
sponsible way. People should be
able to get a good workout even
though it may not be a pure dis-
cipline. A good teacher should
correct a bad plie to prevent an
injury, she says, but not whack
someones calf with a yardstick
for an imperfect turnout.
How does a prospective stu-
dent know whether a fusion
class achieves the right blend of
fitness, fun and technique? In-
structors should have a reputa-
ble certification or solid teacher
training. Pire recommends ask-
ing current students what they
like about a class.
Felicia Linksy has lost 30
pounds and14 inches since start-
ing Piloxing last August. The
L.A. hair and makeup artist has
tried traditional boxing and Pi-
lates but was looking for some-
thingmoreaffordablethat would
fit into her hectic schedule.
Mixing the workouts provides
gains, she says. The boxing
moves incorporate the elonga-
tion of the body from Pilates.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: When
my family and I visit
relatives out of state,
we usually spend half
the week with one of
my cousins and the
rest with another.
One cousin, Debo-
rah, has a drinking problem.
Not only is it painful to watch her
drink, but I noticed that her husband
will hardly look at her or speak to her
because he is so angry. They have a
young son.
Perhaps this is selfish, but I dont
intend to have our vacations sub-
jected to that kind of stress. I love
Deborah and dont want to hurt her
feelings, but I cant stay there and
expose my family to her drinking. My
husband and kids understand that she
has a problem and support me in not
wanting to spend several days at her
house.
Is there a way to tell her this gen-
tly? I believe my other cousin would
be happy to have us for the entire
week. I dont intend to stay away
from Deborah completely. What can
I do?
Standing Firm in Green Bay
Dear Standing Firm: Make other
arrangements for lodging this year.
And after they are made, have a talk
with Deborahs husband and tell him
why. Because you are so close to your
cousin and you will be there, and be-
cause her husbands anger is obvious,
it might be an opportune time for an
intervention.
Of course, this should be done
with the help of a professional
who can help Deborah get the treat-
ment she so obviously needs. Her
husband should seek guidance from
the people at Al-Anon or Alcoholics
Anonymous. The websites are www.
al-anonfamilygroups.org and www.
aa.org.
Dear Abby: I have seen many letters
in your column from men who are
conflicted about being attracted to a
person other than their spouse.
I handle it by calling it art appre-
ciation. In a museum you cant touch
the art but only admire it from a dis-
tance. I, too, enjoy the view without
getting too close. It has served me
well because it allows me to fantasize
without getting into trouble.
Museum-Goer in
Campbell, Calif.
Dear Museum-Goer: While
this technique may work for you, I
wouldnt recommend it to everyone
because many wives pick up on those
art appreciation vibes and feel dis-
respected or threatened when their
husbands stare at other women.
Dear Abby: What do you say if some-
one who is overweight says shes fat
or asks you if shes fat? Its always
such an awkward situation, and I usu-
ally end up saying, Of course youre
not fat! Id like to know if theres a
better way of handling this. You al-
ways know what to say.
Tongue-Tied in Florida
Dear Tongue-Tied: If someone who
was obese stated that she (or he) was
fat, I would either let the comment
hang there in silence or Id say, What
do you intend to do about it? And
if someone with a weight problem
asked me if he or she was fat, instead
of denying the obvious, I would re-
spond, What I think isnt nearly as
important as what YOU think.

To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-

447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Someone will suggest that your
presentation was close but not
quite right. This person may
have some insights you can use.
Then again, this person isnt
the final word that can put you
through to the next level.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Just
because it has never been done
before doesnt mean you cant
do it. By the same token, just
because it has been done before
doesnt mean you wont be the
one to do it different and better.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll
close the gap between two
friends who dont know how
to get along. Youll hold the
space between them and act
as a buffer.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
are so loyal to the terms of your
friendships, spoken and unspo-
ken. The only trouble is that
the unspoken terms may not be
mutually understood.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You refuse
to let things get too complicated.
You may have felt the need to
impress someone before, but
you no longer care. You let go of
self-consciousness. You have fun,
and you are fun.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
understand what its like to be
too close to a situation to have a
perspective on it. What looks like
a no-brainer to you may be far
from obvious to the person deal-
ing with the situation.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Ask your-
self what it would take to make
big things happen in your world.
One idea leads to another. Acting
boldly now will save you from
tedious, boring work later.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A puz-
zle needs solving. Take time to
list all of the elements. As with
jigsaw puzzles, it helps if you
first lay out all the pieces on the
table, picture side up.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll be paying for a service. A
12 percent to 20 percent tip may
be customary, but use your feel-
ings instead of a calculator to
figure the amount thats perfect
for you. Give what you feel like
giving no more, no less.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
There is an opportunity to travel
coming up. As long as it is in
line with your other goals and
purposes and doesnt cut too far
into your budget, you will gladly
take it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Youre not sure you have the
energy to dive into a project,
but dive you will. Its because
you trust the process of life.
You have a feeling that your
adrenaline reserves will kick in
when you need them most and
youre right.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There
is no need to struggle. When you
feel yourself losing your even
temper and grounded manner,
step back and look at the prob-
lem from another angle.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Nov. 1).
Youll re-examine your relation-
ship with someone youve known
a long time. A new point of view
will set you free in some way.
Perhaps youll develop strong
ties with an old flame. 2012
brings fun and laughter. Love
signs are Cancer and Virgo.
Your lucky numbers are: 40, 37,
28, 52 and 17.
