Schedule Your Screenings
for the Year
Preventive screenings help you detect a chronic condition or illness in its
early stages so you can learn how to manage it and stay healthy. These
screenings are also an excellent way to check how well you are managing
an already diagnosed condition. To get screened, visit your doctor or go
to an 1199SEIU health fair at your institution or facility.
Your Benefit Fund’s Medical Director recommends that you follow these
screening guidelines.

Make 2016 Your Year!
Everyone has “healthy life” improvements they would
like to make, and there’s no better time than the
present! Whether it’s losing weight, getting in better
shape, quitting smoking or all three, the New Year is
a great time to make the commitment to yourself. So
pick one thing you would like to change and make a
plan—set a realistic goal and get the support of your
friends and family.
FOOD FACT
Eating healthier can be as easy as
cutting one item from a recipe. It’s
possible to cut back on calories, fat and
sodium without cutting back on flavor.
For baked goods, skip the frosting,
coconut or gooey fillings. Switch up your
condiments: Instead of butter, use hearthealthy olive oil, and substitute mustard
for mayonnaise on sandwiches.

Keep Your Family Healthy with
Home-Cooked Meals
The cold winter days make everyone want to reach for comfort foods, which
can lead to extra fat and calories—especially when you’re eating on the run.
Cooking at home lets you choose the freshest ingredients, create healthy
versions of your favorite comfort foods and limit portion sizes. Pressed for time?
Try a hearty one-pot meal, like chicken soup or vegetarian chili with beans and
vegetables—you’ll feel satisfied without the guilt!
FITNESS FACT
Aerobic exercise increases your stamina.
So while it may make you tired at first,
over the long term, you’ll have more
energy, be less vulnerable to colds and
the flu, and lower other health risks.
Walk, dance or work out to an exercise
video—just get moving!

Spring Forward!
This month we turn the clock ahead for longer days—which means
more time to work exercise into your busy schedule. If you’re an
early bird, exercise first thing in the morning. Make the most of
your lunch hour and grab a co-worker for a 30-minute midday walk.
If you get your second wind in the evening, pop in a workout video
and get the family to join in. The key is to plan your workouts for
the times when you’re most likely to actually do them.
FOOD FACT
Salsa is the unsung healthy hero of
flavoring food. Whether it’s mild, hot,
fruity, smooth or chunky, salsa is a great
low-fat choice for potatoes, vegetables,
fish, chicken or meat.

Menu Planning for Easier and
Healthier Meals
As dinnertime approaches, it’s sometimes all too easy to grab fast
food or something equally unhealthy. Menu planning is a great way
to make sure you and your family are eating a balanced diet. It can
save you time and money, and it’s easier than you think. Plan one
week of meals—make sure everyone gets at least one favorite—and
include healthy side dishes and desserts. Once you have your plan,
you can create your shopping list and you’re ready to go!
FITNESS FACT
Warming up before working out gets your
cardiovascular system going, increases blood
flow to your muscles and raises your body
temperature. Your warm-up should use the
same muscles that you’ll use during your
workout and may cause mild sweating,
but it shouldn’t leave
you fatigued.

workshop is from 10:00 am to 2:30 pm at Fund Headquarters, 330 West 42nd Street, 33rd Floor (Penthouse). To reserve

Balance Your Exercise Plan
When it comes to fitness, getting your heart rate up isn’t the only thing that matters. A good, balanced exercise program includes five
key activities: aerobic exercise, strength training, core exercises (for abdominal and back muscles), balance training and stretching.
If you’re not getting all five, it’s time to mix up your routine. A good place to try something new is by looking into the many free
exercise programs offered through www.NYCGovParks.org.
FOOD FACT
Fiber is a filling and delicious way to lower your risk
of diabetes and heart disease, so choose cereals with
“bran” or “fiber” in the name—and read the labels to
be sure they have at least 4 grams of fiber per serving.
Switch to whole-grain or whole-wheat breads and
pastas, and serve brown rice, barley and
bulgur instead of white rice.

Give Your Meals a Seasonal Boost
With summer comes a wide variety of fruits and vegetables
that will be at their most delicious and nutritious. By
taking advantage of seasonal fruits and vegetables, it’s
easy to create family meals that are low in calories and
rich in antioxidants. Juicy, ripe peaches offer loads of beta
carotene, while blueberries are rich in vitamin C and freshpicked corn is a great source of vitamins A, B, E and many
minerals. So stop by your neighborhood vegetable stand,
or visit www.GrowNYC.org for a list of greenmarkets.
FITNESS FACT
Working out at a moderate to vigorous
intensity can help you get the most out of
exercise without overdoing or underdoing
it. Moderate means you’re sweating lightly
and breathing quickly but you can still talk;
vigorous means you’re sweating and you can
say just a few words without stopping for
breath. The more intense your exercise,
or the longer you exercise, the
more calories you burn.

Time for Friends, Family and Fun!
When it’s hard to find time to work out, try to
work exercise into your day. Meet friends at the
park and rent a bike for the afternoon. Kick a
soccer ball around with your kids, or, if it’s too
hot for outdoor activity, cool off with a swim—
you can find a list of pools, free swimming classes
and aquatics programs for all ages and experience
levels at www.NYCGovParks.org/befitnyc.
FOOD FACT
Water is the healthiest drink any time
of year, but during the summer it’s even
more important to stay hydrated. Fatigue,
headaches, inability to focus, dizziness
and lack of strength are all possible signs
of dehydration. When in doubt, drink a
glass or bottle of water.

Don’t Let the Heat Get You Down!
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type
of depression that is related to a specific
season, causing you to feel sluggish and
unhappy around the same time every year.
While many people experience it in the
winter, for others the disrupted schedules,
body image issues and physical discomforts
that can arise during summer have the same
effect—especially if you feel like you’re
the only one not enjoying the season. Take
steps to keep yourself balanced throughout
the year—your Fund’s Member Assistance
Program is here to help. Call (646) 473-6900.
FITNESS FACT
Exercise is a great mood booster,
especially if you’re experiencing the
summer blues, but don’t overdo it in the
summer heat. Instead, make sure you
are hydrated and squeeze some extra
activity into your day by skipping the
elevator when you can. Start by taking
the stairs any time you go up or down
one floor. Then work your way up to
three or four floors—or more! You can
also make climbing stairs a
workout in itself.

Get Stronger, Get Healthier
If you want to reduce body fat, increase lean muscle and burn calories more efficiently, strength training is the way to go. We all lose
muscle as we age, but strength training can help you keep and increase muscle—at any age. Strength training also helps you build strong
bones, control your weight, boost your stamina and sharpen your focus. To get started, you can use:
• Your own body weight: Push-ups, pull-ups and leg squats
are great resistance exercises. Start out with a few
repetitions and add more as you get stronger.
• Resistance bands: The 1199SEIU Benefit Funds Yoga/
Pilates Resistance Band Workout DVD includes beginner,
intermediate and advanced workouts.
• Free weights: You don’t have to go heavy. Start with light
2½- to 5-pound hand weights and add more repetitions as
you gain strength.
• Weight machines: If you’ve never used a weight machine
at the gym, ask a trainer to show you the proper, safe
technique.
FOOD FACT
Flaxseed is high in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids
and disease-fighting nutrients. It can help
lower your cholesterol, which may reduce
your heart disease risk. Look for it at your
grocery or health food store. You can buy it
whole and grind it in a coffee grinder, or
buy it pre-ground. Add a spoonful to your
cereal, oatmeal or yogurt, or mix into
cookies, muffins and other
baked goods.

Get Ready for Cold
and Flu Season
The best way to protect yourself, your family and your patients, residents or clients is by getting
a flu shot. For further protection, remember to:
• Wash your hands frequently with soap and water. If they’re not available, use an alcohol based hand rub.
• Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth to prevent spreading germs.
FITNESS FACT
If you’re feeling under the weather, you don’t have to
skip your exercise routine. Mild to moderate exercise is
usually okay if your symptoms are above the neck, such
as a runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing or minor
sore throat. If your symptoms are below the neck, such
as chest congestion, hacking cough or upset stomach,
put your workout on hold. Don’t exercise if
you have a fever, fatigue
or muscle aches.

Have a Greener
Holiday Season!
Everyone worries about holiday weight gain, but having
some extra “green” options is a good way to help
counteract those high-calorie holiday favorites. This
year, in addition to making the dishes that everyone
looks forward to, add a few green alternatives. Why
not serve just one starch along with sautéed string
beans, a kale salad with lemon dressing and roasted
Brussels sprouts?
FITNESS FACT
Exercises like sit-ups and crunches help
strengthen abdominal muscles and
improve posture. But you can’t target
belly fat with specific exercises. You need
to burn more calories than you consume
—this will help you to lose weight
and body fat.

Beat Holiday Stress
The holiday season can bring unwanted stress, but
progressive muscle relaxation teaches you to relax
your muscles and ease stress. It can also help reduce
headaches and stomach problems, and improve your
sleep. First, find a quiet place free from interruption.
Starting with your feet, tense your muscles for at
least five seconds and relax for up to 30 seconds,
then repeat before moving up your body—tensing
calves, thighs, back, shoulders—all the way up to
your neck. This helps your body learn the difference
between muscle tension and relaxation, so you can
de-stress when you feel tension creeping in.
FOOD FACT
This holiday season, pick your sweets
carefully. It’s easy to overload on sugar
with all of the cookies and candy that
people put out. So hold out for your
favorite dessert and skip the extra
calories that are all around!
