NEW STUDY ON THE

TEENAGE BRAIN
A study has launched that will last for more than a decade and involve
about 10,000 children. Called ABCD (Adolescent Brain Cognitive
Development), and launched by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), it is
the largest long-term study of brain development and child health in the
United States.
“Using cutting-edge technology, scientists will determine how childhood

experiences (such as sports, videogames, social media, unhealthy sleep
patterns, and smoking) interact with each other and with a child’s changing
biology to affect brain development and social, behavioral, academic,
health, and other outcomes,” the study website says.
The study will include research into drugs and alcohol, screen time, stress,
sibling relationships, parenting, and much more.

NEW BUDGET TO COMBAT
OPIOID PROBLEMS
President Trump signed a $1.3 trillion budget in March that will fund the federal
government through 2018, which includes big increases for battling the opioid epidemic.
Funding to address the opioid epidemic almost tripled from previous budgets, totalling
$3.6 billion.
That said, many healthcare experts say that is far less than what is needed. Opioids killed
more than 42,000 Americans in 2016, and a recent White House report said the epidemic
cost the US economy more than $500 billion in 2015.

FOUR RULES FOR GROWING

A shirt and tie is the brainless choice for most office settings. So
maybe you wear a colored shirt or a striped shirt with the tie. This
is as about as adventurous as bringing candy to the movie theater.
Here are three ways to take your professional look to a higher
plane of style:
Patchy, mangy, scruffy, adolescent. These are all words that may accurately
describe your beard in its early stages, so be ready for mocking comments
and unpleasant looks in the mirror. It will look better, so don’t give in to the The Formal T

TIME TO GET READY FOR
WRITTEN BY JUDITH R A SB A ND
It’s been a long, cold winter with our feet stuffed

into socks and boots. It’s been easy to put off
a pedicure. But the barefoot season is on its
way, with potential for major impact on your
foot health. So, it’s time to make time for good
foot care to make the most of open-toed shoes,
sandals, and even bare feet.
As your feet come out from hibernation, a

pedicure is sure to be needed. If planning to
get a professional pedicure, check out locations.
Make sure you know the place is clean and
reputable. While a pedicure makes your feet
look more attractive, it also helps clean and
remove dead skin cells. If you have cracked
heels or blisters, delay a pedicure until the
skin is healed. If deeply cracked where you
can see dried blood, treat the heel with an
antibiotic cream and cover with a band-aid.
These foot problems make way for nail fungus,
wart viruses, and serious bacterial
infections. Avoid any “specials”
that draw dozens more clients
and germs into the salon. Don’t
shave or wax your legs before
your appointment, as hair
removal can cause microscopic
cuts that increase your
vulnerability to infection.
A professional pedicure is
often thought to be the
ultimate luxury, but if the
price breaks the bank, you
can beat the cost, enjoy
the benefits of a great
pedicure, and get your
feet summer-ready with
a little know-how of your
own.

WELLNESS
A Critical Piece
in the Puzzle of
The High Cost of Medication Healthcare Reform
One of President Trump’s chief campaign promises was an oath to repeal the Affordable
Care Act, or Obamacare. This has proven to be a greater struggle than the President perhaps
anticipated, and this struggle has re-opened the wider debate over healthcare in our country.
One of the central themes in the healthcare debate is the cost of prescription drugs— according
to a recent Harvard Medical School study, paying for prescription medication makes up almost
one-fifth of what a person spends on healthcare. To quote President Trump, that’s huge. And
prices are rising at a rate that makes prescription medication increasingly inaccessible for the WRITTEN BY
average American. According to the AARP, drug prices increased an average of 208% from 2008 C A ITLIN SC HILLE, MPH
to 2016— and incomes certainly did not increase at a comparable rate.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the explanations about why prescription drugs are so expensive.
1. INCENTIVE. There is often no incentive for programs and companies to prescribe a generic
alternative over the more expensive brand name drug. According to the law that established
Medicaid, it has to cover any and all drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), even if a cheaper, but equally effective drug is available. Let’s say you work at a
pharmacy and you have the option to prescribe a more expensive drug or a less expensive
drug. To make better numbers for your pharmacy and make more money for your company,
you’ll prescribe the more expensive drug. And why wouldn’t you? We can’t rely on personal
altruism to be the incentive.
2. MONOPOLY. There are government-protected monopolies on certain drugs. This prevents

less expensive generic drugs from being available, forcing consumers to pay out for the big-
name drug with the hugely inflated price. Why is it so bad to have only one drug available?
1/
When there’s no competition, manufacturers are free to hike up the prices as far as they
wish— hence, a monopoly. Brand name drug prices are cut almost in half once two generic
alternatives are available and cut to a third once five generic alternatives are available. While
5
some argue for more government regulation on the pharmaceutical industry, this is an area
where some free-market competition would do some good.
3. TIME. Drug patents can take several years to get approved, meaning that a pharmaceutical
company must wait several years before it can even begin selling a medication and making
money.
4. EXPENSE. Research and development in creating a new drug is usually a massively

expensive and lengthy process, and yes, this absolutely contributes to the high cost of
prescription drugs, as the cost of the drug can be a reflection of the time and money that
was involved in creating the drug. However, drug development is sometimes funded by
government grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Additionally, 9 out of the 10
largest pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. spend more money on marketing than they

BEACH
wanting to look your best in your bathing
suit. If you’re like most of us, you’ve waited
until the last minute, and now we play head
games with ourselves. I’m going to share
a few tips to make sure you don’t let this
happen every year.
START EARLY: The fact is, beach bodies are

made in the winter. You need the proper time
to take unwanted weight off in a healthy way.
BODY
Make goals of 1-2 pounds/week. It is unhealthy
to crash diet. You’ll burn your muscle and crash
your metabolism, sabotaging yourself in the
long run.
MUSCLE IS SEXY: Focus highly on resistance

training, lightly on cardio, and highly on good
nutrition. Building muscle will make it easier
and easier to get to your goal each year. Don’t
worry about getting bulky. The rule of thumb
is for every 5 pounds of muscle you gain, you
burn an additional 100 calories per day.
DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF: Never

force yourself to workout 7 days a week for 2
hours. You’ll burn yourself out, and then you’ll
never want to see a gym until your next trip.
Find balance and pace. Stay within yourself so
you can maintain your healthy lifestyle. Then, WHY BALANCE IS YOUR KEY
you’ll remain basically beach-ready all year
round. That should be the goal.
TO LOOKING GOOD IN THE SUN
WORKOUT WITH A FRIEND: Statistics show
that people get better results and are more
motivated when they workout with a friend.
Pick a friend who will push you.
BE REASONABLE: Chances are you already look

great. People tend to want the extreme and
almost every time it is unattainable. There’s
also the reverse side of losing too much to the
point it even looks unhealthy. Don’t play head
games. Be positive with yourself and focus on
attainable goals.
Best case scenario is that you develop a lifestyle

that isn’t so up and down, you enjoy your trips
to the gym, and you are comfortable with
yourself and your body. Master that and you’ll
be on your way to complete success!

MUSCLE
Make sure you are focusing on muscle building exercises, as opposed to
isolation moves. An example of a compound exercise is a bench press
while an isolation move is a cable chest press. Cable chest press is an
excellent move and isolation exercises have their place but if you are going
to build high quality muscle, and build it fast, then you want compound
exercises—exercises such as bench press, squats, deadlifts, barbell rows,
etc. The key with the compound exercises is they challenge the body and
incorporate more than one muscle group while doing the movement,
therefore burning more calories at a time. Remember to be careful: with
compound exercises, you always want to make sure you are in a safe
position while performing the exercise. If you feel that there is a muscle
strain or pain that does not involve the muscle, such as a pain in your
elbow, shoulders, knees or back, make sure that you stop the exercise
and correct your form. Keep your body safe by ensuring there is minimal
arch in your back, making sure your knees are not going over your toes
on lower body movements, and that your core is always tucked in and
engaged to keep your back safe. When it comes to repetitions and sets for
maximal results, you want to use the most challenging weights you can
while still maintaining good form. Always think quality over quantity. Also,
change your reps and sets consistently so you are constantly shocking the
body to change. You do not want to get stuck doing the same routine or
your results will plateau.
CARDIO
When it comes to cardio you want to make sure that
you are not overkilling it by spending hours on the
treadmill or bike, because too much cardio can put
you in a catabolic (muscle wasting) state if you are
not careful. The goal is to do enough cardio where
it burns fat without burning muscle. This is all based
on how your body responds to cardio so try different
methods such as walking on a treadmill on an incline
or doing sprints outside. Every person’s body responds
differently to different forms of cardio. What worked
well for many of my clients in the past is high intensity
sprints or plyometric style training because it burns a
lot of calories while keeping muscle on their bodies.
NUTRITION
