Health&Fitness MOUNTAIN VIEW VOICE VERONICA WEBER Los Altos High School student Brendan Ferrell rappels off the rock-climbing wall at Overtime Fitness Center in Mountain View last Monday. Alongside cardio and weight machines, Overtime offers nutrition classes, basketball, and much more. Teen-friendly workout MOUNTAIN VIEW’S OVERTIME FITNESS OFFERS GYM SPACE FOR THE YOUNGER SET By Amber Cleave T he generation raised in a virtual world of iPods, Internet, video games and digital cameras now has gym that caters to real-world concerns. “Overtime Fitness is like a sports club exclusively for teenagers,” said Patrick Ferrell, CEO of the company, which recently opened its gym at 1625 N. Shoreline Blvd. in Mountain View. Ferrell, a Los Altos Hills resident, said his teenage daughter was the inspiration behind the fitness center. Tired of hearing about harassment at the all-ages gym his daughter was attending, Farrell decided to open a gym where teens could work out in a comfortable, safe and fun environment. According to Ferrell, Overtime Fitness does everything in its power to make the young adults feel comfortable. Through a survey Farrell conducted with Bay Area teens, he determined that girls do not feel comfortable showering or changing publicly. So, in Overtime Fitness’ serene and spa-like girls’ locker rooms, he installed showers with double curtains so the girls have complete privacy while they shower and change. The fitness center offers all the old-fashioned athletic equipment, but with a twist: Treadmills with individual televisions have several channels picked through teen surveys, such as MTV, MTV2, Fox, ESPN, ESPN2, Comedy Central and E; bicycles with graphics that display a virtual course, as well as the ability to race other bikers and track individual progress; a giant four-sided rock climbing wall with four different levels of difficulty; and a physical video game arcade supplied with DDR, Kilowatt and Trazer. They’re all virtual games that require physical exertion. Ferrell said of the altered machines, “In a way, I acquiesced to children and their love of video games and television. I said, ‘Fine, you can have it, but there’ll be no couch potatoes around here.’” The fitness center does more than help teenagers stay active in a comfortable environment; it also VERONICA WEBER Ferrell boxes using a “fitness-oriented arcade game,” one of several workout game machines aimed at its young members. promotes their general well-being by offering special seminars — in conjunction with Stanford’s wellness groups — that cover a range of topics, including steroids, sleep and procrastination.

How to be merry in cold and flu season POOR DIET A BIG REASON FOR WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEM DURING THE HOLIDAYS By Flavia Kreis A utumn is here and so comes the sneezing, coughing and aching. As we all know, during the fall and winter our body’s immune system starts to suffer from various forms of flu and cold viruses. Did you ever ask yourself why this is hap- Flavia Kreis pening to you every year? And why do you have to feel so miserable? First, I’ll give a quick description of how the immune system works. Most people have heard of white blood cells, and that these attack invaders in the body. White cells are actually a combination of three main types of cells, called B-cells, T-cells and macrophages. Each has a different function, and collectively they make our immune system a well-armed defense against invaders. When B-cells come into contact with an antigen (an antigen is some form of toxin, bacteria, or foreign blood cell in the body), the B-cells grow larger and divide into more cells which secrete specific antibodies that latch onto the invader. These antibodies cannot destroy the invader, but they make its life more difficult by preventing it from entering body cells. Because a virus requires body cells to reproduce, this seriously hampers its ability to propagate itself. Next we have T-cells. These come in three kinds: T-helpers, T-suppressors, and NK (natural killers). The NK cells can produce toxins which will destroy an invader. T-helpers help the B-cells fight more invaders, while T-suppressors stop everything once the invader is destroyed. So T-cells in essence fight by helping B-cells, by actively trying to destroy the invader, and by stopping things once the battle is won. And at the end, the macrophage cells swallow up and digest what is left of the invader, which is waste material. What prevents the immune system from working effectively? Digestive problems caused by bad food choices. The categories of these are: sugars, bad fats, caffeine and alcohol. The next question is, when do we have these foods the most? Holidays! That means the holiday season, which starts around Halloween and ends the beginning of the New Year. Throughout this period, most people on and off have more desserts, candies, fattening foods, caffeine and alcohol. This means the immune system will be busy fighting internal toxins created by us rather than fighting a real invader like a virus or a bacterium. On top of this internal turmoil, we might have some emotional stress created by meeting with family, holiday preparation, travel, and so on. And stress also weakens the immune system. How do we escape such a fate? We must organize ourselves by taking an appropriate supplementation — examples include digestive enzymes, probiotics, vitamin C, and echinacea — by reducing our exposure to bad food, and by minimizing stress in the healthiest ways possible. As an additional suggestion, avoid mental or verbal conflict with friends and family members. Instead, start a conversation that all people can relate to. Go out and do something together as a group, something everyone likes to do, such as walk the dog, take the kids to a park, or play a board game. Be positive and merry! After all, what are the holidays about if not for love, sharing and tolerance.

More importantly, what can I do about it? Low back pain is not one thing; it’s many things, from occasional muscle strain from lifting something heavy to osteoporosis or thinning of the Dr. Barry Hansen bones, which can cause small crush or painful “compression” fractures. Low back pain is one of the most frequently encountered complaints in a primary physician’s office. Fortunately, most cases are easily treated with rest; medication for pain, inflammation and muscle spasm; and some physical therapy. Many cases of acute low back are completely resolved in a few weeks and the discomfort may actually be gone in a few days, but the actual healing takes longer. If your doctor recommends surgery, be sure to get two surgical opinions as well as an opinion from a physical medicine specialist before undergoing back surgery. The surgery, even in the best hands, may be difficult and may cause scarring of tissues, which can eventually adversely affect the mechanical properties of your back. Q: A: I’m pretty fit and not overweight, so why does my lower back still give me pains? Acute back pain can occur in someone who has never had much problem with their back. They may not be overweight and they may actually be in very good physical condition. The problem has to do with how we are built. Low back pain occurs much more frequently than upper back pain because your upper spine is stabilized by your rib cage and the muscles surrounding them. Your lower back, however, is all by itself. Its range of motion when you bend forward is much greater than that of your upper spine. It has no other boney support around it. While it is bigger and thicker than your upper spine, it also has to support more weight. All this causes increased mechanical stresses which result in torn muscles, ruptured discs and ligaments, and occasionally fractures, even in healthy individuals. around our abdomens. That “spare tire” tends to hang down in front and your lower back has to support all that extra weight. It is under constant tension just while you’re walking around. When you bend over, the burden on your back increases. If you pick something up, it intensifies. At some point, the muscles of your lower back will not be able to stand the strain and they will tear, just like a piece of paper. This causes inflammation of all the other surrounding muscle fibers, which in turn causes spasm, stiffness and pain. Q: A: Do our spinal discs actually tear? Unfortunately, yes. When we lift something and twist to the side to set it down, the excessive pressure on our spines may cause an actual tear in one of our discs. These discs separate each of our vertebrae and are built Most cases are easily treated with rest; medication for pain, inflammation and muscle spasm; and some physical therapy. like donuts (forgive the junk food analogy). They have a firm outer rim and a soft center for cushioning the weight and allowing some flexibility of our spine. The outer rim can and will tear, sometimes causing the center to protrude. There is not extra space around the spine, so very often the protrusion will push on a nerve, causing pain or weakness in the back and legs. Even if nothing gets pinched, the disc is now flatter than before, which changes the mechanical properties of the back, making recurrent injury more likely and more common. Q: A: What’s the best way to prevent chronic back pain? It is the same silver bullet as for so many other health issues. We need to lose excess weight, keep our abdominal muscles strong through exercise (because they help stabilize your lower spine), and learn to lift things correctly with our legs — not our backs. If you don’t take corrective steps and keep re-injuring your back, the pain can become chronic. V Responses were provided by Barry Hansen, M.D., family medicine physician, with Camino Medical Group.

Impromptu classes are held occasionally and a class schedule is being developed. Yoga, kickboxing, abdominal workouts, spinning and other cardiovascular classes will all be included in the dues. Also, there are up to three personal trainers on the floor at a time to help the youth develop skillful use of the equipment and an understanding of the body’s muscle groups. “The trainers are amazing with the kids. They offer knowledge, motivation, and are a positive role model for them to look up to,” Ferrell said. V E-mail Amber Cleave at acleave@mv-voice.com Outgrown your home? .. . ..

Russell, a plastic surgeon with Camino Medical Group in Mountain View, has for several years had an abiding interest in breast cancer and whether it is linked to harmful environmental toxins. It was performing reconstruction for breast cancer survivors — and observing the survivors themselves — that caused her to become interested in finding the source of the disease. “I observed younger and younger women coming into my office,” she says, “and I had a curiosity about why that could be.” Russell’s research and experience, which includes sitting on the county’s Environmental Health Committee, led her to the conclusion that toxins in the environment were in part causing breast cancer and other cancers in women. And she believes that these toxins are coming from substances used in all aspects of everyday life, including cosmetics, perfumes, air fresheners and cleaning products “What we don’t realize,” she said, “is that indoor air pollution is as bad as outdoor.” In a series of lectures for Camino Medical Group, and every day with her patients, Russell is trying to spread the word about environmental toxins. “The best thing to do is be informed, and take a precautionary approach,” she says. She pinpoints several chemicals, commonly found in products across the mainstream market, as being particularly harmful. Phythalates are on the top of her list. Commonly found in makeup products, nail polish and plastics, these chemicals act like estrogen once they are ingested into a woman’s body. For several years now, scientists and doctors have known that too much estrogen can cause breast cancer. Dioxins, found in certain brands of pesticides, as well as chlorinebased solvents and bug and rodent killers, concern Russell as well, and she cites recent studies showing a possible link to dioxin exposure and numerous maladies, including Parkinson’s disease, sterility and birth defects. She also targets petroleum-based solvents, found in cleaning products, as worrisome because they contain small amounts of known carcinogens and don’t biodegrade once they are in the ground. She recommends using “vegetablebased, biodegradable products.” In Russell’s medical practice, you won’t find any products that are petroleum-based. She says her office is equipped with soaps and air fresheners that are “citrusbased products that don’t contain any synthetic ingredients.” The ‘smart consumer’ approach Russell urges a “smart consumer” approach, and says there are a number of “green” pesticides and cleaners on the market. She also notes that pest control companies increasingly offer environmentally safe versions of their chemicals. Russell’s research led her to align with a San Francisco-based organization, the Breast Cancer Fund, which has been researching environmental toxins for years. Kevin Donegan, spokesman for the group, says that there are “close to 100,000 chemicals in use that haven’t been fully tested” for their effects on human beings. Harmful chemicals, such as phythalates, get stored in a woman’s body fat and can also be transmitted to a child if she is breast feeding, he said. However, Donegan points to several positive examples of improved understanding of so-called environmental toxins. Around the country, states are imposing stricter standards on the beauty industry’s use of chemicals and toxins, as a way to make up for the federal government’s traditionally loose regulation of the beauty industry. California made an important step in that direction when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a landmark bill this fall, the California Safe Cosmetics Act, requiring companies to notify the state when they use chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects. Additionally, nearly 400 beauty companies have signed a “Compact for Safe Cosmetics,” which is a pledge to eliminate hazardous materials from their products. OPI, the nail polish industry’s bestselling brand, agreed in August 2006 to remove all dibutyl phthalates, known reproductive toxins, from the company’s products. Both Donegan and Russell recommend education as the best way to prevent exposure to the thousands of hazardous chemicals on the market.
