SOME THOUGHTS

STEVE ENGLEBRIGHT,
BSS SHIP COUNSELOR
Fall Is Approaching, And With It Comes The Lead Up To
The Annual Medicare Prescription Plan Open Season.
Important Dates For Fall Of 2014:
Watch your mail for notices from Medicare,
social security and your health or drug plans for possible
upcoming changes for 2015.
This information could pertain to your pre-
mium cost, your drug co-pays and if your prescriptions
remain on your plans formulary. Dont assume that be-
cause your plan worked well this year, that it will be as
cost effective in 2015. Plans change and a review could
possibly save you on copay and deductible costs.
Oct. 1st: I begin taking calls for appointments for the
2014 open enrollment period. Appointments ll up fast,
so dont put it off.

Oct. 15th: Open enrollment begins. This is your oppor-
tunity to check to see if you could nd a more cost effec-
tive plan, based upon your particular prescription needs.
December 7th: Open enrollment ends.
January 2015: Your new plans become effective. If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact one of our
WV ship counselors for an appointment.

October brings to mind crisp West Virginia apples and a bounty
of fall vegetables from which to choose. While young people spend
the next few weeks planning their Halloween costumes, older
folks prepare for the arrival of trick-or-treaters at the front door.
The tradition of bobbing for apples used to go hand in hand with
Halloween! Another major event occurring in October is National
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual health campaign
organized to increase awareness of the disease.
The event also serves to raise funds for research into the cause,
prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure of breast cancer. This
months Food and Fitness will explore how apples can be both
preventive medicine and a positive way to impact those who have
dealt with breast cancer.
No matter how you slice them, apples pack powerful health
benets for a variety of reasons. Best Health Magazine lists fteen
ways that apples support a healthy body. (http://www.besthealth-
mag.ca/eatwell/nutrition/15-healthbenets-of-eating-apples)
For starters, eating the apple, peelings and all, will stimulate
production of saliva in the mouth. Saliva reduces tooth decay by
lowering bacteria in the mouth. Consider, also, eating apples as
preventive medicine.
Researchers at Cornell University have identied compounds
called triterpenoids in the apple peel that prevents growth of
cancer cells in the liver, colon, and breast.
In another related study, scientists found that extracts from whole
apples reduced the number and size of mammary tumors in rats.
Since The National Cancer Institute recommends a high ber,
low-fat diet to reduce the risk of many cancers, apples make good
sense for everyone! Other health benets of apples are obvious and
not so obvious. There is much truth to the old adage, An apple a
day keeps the doctor away. Apples have long been associated with
digestive regularity. Fiber can either pull water out of your colon
and keep things moving along in your digestive track, or absorb
excess water to slow you down if you have the opposite problem.
There are at least two reasons why you can also have a healthier
heart by including apples in your diet:
The soluble ber found in apples binds with bile acids in the gut.
New bile acids must be formed from cholesterol in the blood, thus
lowering blood cholesterol levels. Research has linked a high intake
of soluble ber with a slower build-up of plaque in the arteries.
We know that too much plaque on the walls of the arteries reduces
blood ow to the heart. Consequently, consumption of high-ber
fruits like apples, as well as all fruits and vegetablesm should help
to reduce risk of coronary artery disease. Most of the benets of
apples in preventing cancer are also gained by eating a variety of
all fresh fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. There is no single
best vegetable or fruit.
Each brings its own special cancer-ghting nutrients to the table.
In fact, for those who have already received a diagnosis of cancer,
a diet rich in a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables can offer
patients a way to be proactive about their health.
When youre being treated for cancer, its important to avoid
extreme diets that may leave you short on key nutrients. Instead,
focus on eating a balanced diet.
Drink only 100% fruit or vegetable juices-pasteurized. Make sure
they are pasteurized because you may be more susceptible to
bacteria while youre receiving cancer treatment.
Fill at least half of your plate with vegetables and fruits. Why not
add a simple side salad? A few times a week, choose meatless meals
such as beans, vegetarian lasagna or vegetable stir-fry.
Snack on carrot sticks, sweet pepper slices, and fresh or dried
fruits.
If the crunchiness of a fresh apple is hard on your dentures you
can peel and slice for easier eating.
Or you might try getting the benets of apples in other ways.
You can puree, drink, or bake apples!
Fruit juice and smoothie recipes abound, but one can also cut
calories and carbohydrate from the traditional high carbohydrate
juice drinks, while still reaping the benets of apples.
One more way to enjoy apples is to make your own bran mufns
and include fresh apples in the recipe. Finally, if you choose to
bake the apples, be sure to eat the peelings for added nutrition.
