How to undo
'sins' of youth
Although f consider myself very healthy — I work out daily
and cat healthy foods — there was a time I wasn't worthy of
writing this column you're now reading.
I admit it, I come clean here and now: When I was a kid, I didn't just
love junk food, I was one of the .special customers who actually had
a"tab" with the ice cream man who.sc music-playing truck drove
through our neighborhood every afternoon. I bought so much candy
and other no-nos from this guy that if I was cash-strapped, he would
ju.st list any debt under my name on the notepad that served as his
accounting sheet.
He didn't need to worry about my not paying up. He knew where
lo find me: at his truck every afternoon, sating my sweet-tooth
addiction.
When I compare my daily diet now with my daily diet then, it
amazes mc Ih.il I :im in Ihc physiral <ih:tpr I ;im in
I began a rcgularcxcrci.se program in college and my diet has been
low-fat, low-sugar, high-carbohydrate for eight years.
I feel good; I require little sleep to perform optimally; I have tons
of energy; and my menial and emotional outlooks are clear and
healthy. Noncof Uiat would be true if my diet was poor or if I didn't
workout consistently. In oilier words, none of it would be true if 1
hadn't gotten a holduf my wayward diet years ago.
For the past two weeks, I have been admonishing you to revamp
youi diets and siait exercise programs to usher in the new year. In
today's column, I want to offersome more ideas about specific tilings
y6u can do to undo some of the "sins" of our unhealthy pasts, as well
as explain what your efforts will do to reverse any damage caused by
your habits. These ideas can also be found in this month's issue of
Longevity Magazine.
• Kick the habit: We already know smoking's connection to
emphysema, lung cancer and myriad other ills. If you quit smoking
today your lungs will ihank you tomorrow.
• Cut back on the booze: Longevity states that heavy drinking can
cause heart di.seasc, cancers of ilie mouth, colon and breast, liver
di.sca.se and osteoporosis.
• Come in out of the sun: Like so many people, I was one of those
teenagers who loved the Southcm Nevada sun in the summer-time.
You can reduce the damage caused 10 your skin by following my
example of giving up sunbathing.
• Swap the junk for the real goodies: A normal weight is ju.stone
small benefit of trading junk food for low-fat food. ESting plenty of
fruits, vegetables, grains and other healthy fare will help ensure your
chances of avoiding heart disease, cancer and other di.sea.ses associated with poor diets.

Protecting personal boundaries

hat are some of the
skills we need in order
to protect our personal boundaries? Above all we need the sensitivity to recognize when they
are being infringed upon. This
awareness must then be backed
up by the courage to speak up or
By Jim Santor
take action. The uncomfortable
feeling that says someone is too
and
close, or that we are in a situation
Kathleen Grace Santor
that somehow violates our values
or sense of appropriateness, is a
signal to set limits or remove ourselves.
Let's look at some of the ways we can protect and honor our
personal boundaries: '
• An Assertive communication style goes a long way in letting
others know our limits. Assertiveness communicates your needs or
wants in a way that conveys respect forthe other person. Asking a coworker to stop borrowing items from your desk without your permission sets a limit without attacking the co-worker: "When you borrow
my things without asking mc I spend a lot of time trying to find them.
.Please ask before you borrow something so^knowwhen&^tis," Many
businesses and homes now have 'Thank you for not smoking" signs
posted. This is a simple statement that defines a boundary about
smoking in an assertive way.
• Assertive action may be necessary when communication doesn't
work. We sometimes have clients who share about turning off the
ringer on their telephone because an ex-spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend may disregard their request for no more phone calls. Turning
the ringepoff is an example of a.s.scrtivf arlinn Taken in pmteci
personal boundaries.
• Making choices and decisions
based on your own valiies and
beliefs defines and supports your
boundaries. How you choose to
express yourself, your sexual
preferences, your body language,
your choice of social activities
and religious practices and your
Style of parenting reflect the values that define your boundaries.
There are several reasons we
don't always stand up for ourselves and say "no" or let others
know if tiiey are infringing on our
personal space or values. One of the most common reasons wc hear
ofitnotwantingtohurti5omeone'sfeelingsortobc"rude"or"mcan."
Guilt is another reason.
For example, many young mothers feel very guilty about leaving
their infants or toddlere to go out and enjoy themselves even though
they have good baby-sitters or family to care for the children. Ypt they
feel overwhelmed, exhausted and often resentful because of the
constant carctaking role they are in. They fail to respect their own
needs and limits of energy that are also examples of personal boundaries.
:
.
Boundaries are learned in the family, the school or other social
setting. As we mature each of us find ourselves adapting to accepted
standards. We encourage you to assess your own comfort in as.serting
yourself and setting limits or defining your boundaries.

Pregnancy — no smoking allowed
The best time to stop smoking i$ right now', especially
if you're {planning a pregnancy, happily, there's no contltisive evidence proving that
smoking prior to pregnancy •—
even a smoking habit of 10 to 20
years — will harm your baby.
If you're already pregnant, it's
never too late or too soon to quit.
For some women, quitting is easiest during the first trimester of
pregnancy when morning sickness causes a namral aversion to
cigarettes.
Each puff a pregnant smoking inhales sends dangerous chemicals
across the mother's placenta into the fetus's developing system,
These hannfiil chemicals include nicotine vk'hich may prevent sufficient oxygen and nourishment from reaching the fetus, and cartx)n
monoxide which decreases the oxygcn-cartying capacity of both the
mother's and the fetus's blood.
A pregnant woman who smokes incrcases her chances of serious
complications such as vaginal bleeding, miscarriage, and stillbirth. A
pregnant smoker is more likely to deliver a low birth weight baby and
to deliver her baby prematurely.
Premature and low birth weight
babies are at increased risk for
life-long healtii'proWems such as
brain damaged, cerebral palsy, and
behavioral disorders. Babies
weighing less than 5 1/2 pounds
at birth arc more likely to die
during their first month of life
than full-term babies. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) also
occurs more than twice as often
among babies of smoking mothers.
Two popular devices, nicotine
chewing gum and the nicotine
patch, that help many smokers break the habit arc not usually advised
forpregnant women because ofnicotine's potentially harmful effects
on the fetus. Ask your doctor before trying either of these aids.
If you're trying to quit smoking, being in a smoke-free environment helps. Ask your friends and family not to smoke around you. It's
also an ideal time for your partner, if he smokes, too, to quit.
For additional support and recommendations on smoking-cessation programs, talk to your physician.
Hollis is president of the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists.
