It’s not easy to make smart food choices and find time to

exercise during the holiday season. But even if you did indulge

in too many pieces of Mom’s apple pie (telling yourself it was

the “healthier” option), we are making it easy for you to trim

down those unwanted extra pounds.

JCH Wellness Center offers flexible workout hours 7 days a

week, a wide array of machines and classes, plus an experienced,

certified staff that is always on hand to help you create your

workout routine and instruct you on how to exercise safely. But

exercise alone isn’t enough. You also have to make smart food

choices. The easiest way to do that… start looking at labels! Here

are some tips to help you on your way:

#1: Look at Serving SizesOne of the biggest mistakes dieters can make is assuming a

beverage bottle or packaged, frozen meal only contains a single

serving. Sure, the package may read “only 350 calories per

serving,” but if you look at the label, that little box contains 2

servings for a whopping 700 calories you unknowingly consume.

#2: Set Your Calorie IntakeThe key to losing weight is a simple math equation: consume

fewer calories than you expend. The number of calories you

should be taking in every day differs from person to person, but

a useful guideline for lowering your intake is to reduce your

calories by at least 500. It might be helpful to break down your

allotted daily calories in terms of specific meals and snacks.

#3: Bring on the WaterDrinks are one of the worst calorie busters you can

find, and they rarely leave you feeling full. Water is the best

choice in reaching your weight loss goal. You can spruce it up

with a squeeze of lemon, lime, orange or even throw in some

cucumbers!

#4: Fill Up on Fat & FiberEat fat?!! Contrary to what many believe, fat in

foods is not the enemy. A meal should also consist

of a source of healthy fat. Add some walnuts to your cereal or

put a couple slices of avocado on your sandwich. You’ll be more

satisfied after your meal, and it will help you fight the urge to

hit the vending machine in the middle of the afternoon. Going

for brands that are high in fiber is also a smart choice as they

too make a meal more satisfying. Look for the Whole Grain Food

stamp to find foods that are a good source of whole grains.

Healthy Eating & ExercisePairing your new way of

eating with at least 30

minutes of daily cardio

exercise and weight

training will help you

kick-start your weight

loss goals. As you get

stronger and build up

endurance, extend this

time and before you

know it, your body

will begin to transform

into a calorie-burning

machine.

Meet Wellness Center Hero, John MabryKeeping up with a regular exercise routine takes commitment. It also takes hard work. That’s why when we see a member that shows us how putting in the hours at the gym can bring great results… we like to share it and encourage you to press forward.

“John Mabry is a great motivation for others,” says Tom Smith, Director of the JCH Wellness Center. “He uses many different

aspects of our facility and has been so consistent over the last 10 years.” So, we sat down with John to get his take on what motivates him to remain active and healthy.

What made you decide to join the Wellness Center? Before I joined the Wellness Center, I wasn’t doing a whole lot for exercise. I relied on my daily activities with an occasional walk or jog to give me the exercise I needed. After I hit my 40s and my job became more sedentary, I realized it wasn’t enough.

What type of workouts do you do? The first few years, I mostly lifted weights and did the elliptical. Then, about 4 years ago, my friend Bill Rice encouraged me to try the spinning class – it’s a great workout and you can adjust it to be more challenging when you’re ready. I also started using the pool to swim laps a little over a year ago, when the Wellness Center staff challenged me to take on the Ironman Program. It was a great incentive for me to challenge myself as I had 30 days to ride 100 miles on the bike, run 26 miles and swim 4 miles. Once I started using the pool for my workout, I realized it felt good and was a good workout for me, so I’ve continued doing it.

Did you notice a difference in your health/fitness levels right away? It wasn’t right away, but I did notice a difference early on. After I started spinning, it took me a few months to get comfortable with it and not feel exhausted. But because of the workouts and the great incentive programs the staff puts on, I’ve taken on challenges - like doing a Triathlon - that I wouldn’t have done otherwise because of it.

How often do you work out at the Wellness Center now? I average about 5 days a week, alternating between aerobic spinning classes and swimming laps at the pool. I mainly go in the early mornings around 5:30. The staff always greets me with a smile, and it is a great way to start my day.

Do you find the staff helpful? I can’t say enough good things about the staff. They have the health background and are always structuring programs that help motivate us. They also continually look for feedback from members to help create new incentive programs they can incorporate.

If you were trying to convince a friend to join the Wellness Center, what would you tell them? You gotta try it! You won’t find a better facility run by a better staff anywhere. We are very fortunate to have such a nice Wellness Center in a small community.

easy, but very rewarding! My goal is to get people to learn to enjoy

exercise as much as possible and make it a priority in their everyday

Ironman Incentive Program Begins April 18th

The nationally recognized program, Girls on the Run, will soon be offered to young girls in our community, thanks to an involved mom and the girls at the JCH Wellness Center. Girls on the Run is a life-changing, experiential learning program for girls age 8-14 years old. The program combines training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. The goals of the program are to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development... all while having FUN!

Sara Hudson, along with Jen Rogers and Jen Lyles, Fitness Coordinators from the JCH Wellness Center, recently became trained Girls on the Run Coaches and will be implementing the program beginning March 1st. Girls on the Run will be held after school every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:15-4:30, March 1st - May 12th at the Jerry Wittman Park & Feyerbend Building.

“We decided to offer it at a neutral location so it would only be a block away from both East Elementary and Holy Ghost students, so we could easily walk them over to the park after school. There are actually two programs offered which are Girls on the RUN and then Girls on the TRACK. We are starting the year off with Girls on the RUN, which is for girls 3rd-5th grade, and our goal is to offer Girls on the TRACK next fall at the Snyders Sport Complex for the older girls, grades 6th-8th. We are very excited about the program and look forward to getting it started here in Jerseyville,” says Sara.

The program is not just about running, but getting girls to know who they are and what they stand for, teamwork building, as well as finding their place in the community. The team will be in the schools the first week of February talking in the

classrooms. Look for registration materials to come home with your daughters very soon! For further information, call the JCH Wellness Center at (618) 498-3500 or log onto www.girlsontherunstlouis.org.

The fastest, most powerful computed tomography (CT)

scanner on the market is now available at Jersey Community

Hospital. Our new Toshiba Aquilion 64-slice scanner allows for

high-speed, life-saving diagnostics.

In just 15 seconds, the Aquilion 64 can create photo-quality

images of the inside of the body -- painlessly. It generates

3-D images of the heart, brain, circulatory system, skeletal

system and internal organs, allowing physicians to diagnose

narrowed arteries, internal bleeding, early stage cancers

and much more. The scanner also gives physicians the ability

to detect diseases early, when they are most effectively

treated, which may mean less invasive treatments with

better outcomes.

The Aquilon 64 is so fast, the speed of its x-ray emitter is

measured in thousandths of a second and includes an

industry-leading quantum detector that can resolve objects

as small as half a millimeter in diameter. Patients who undergo

this test will lie comfortably on the table, then hold his or her

breath for a few seconds while the table slides through the

gantry or doughnut-shaped hole. As it does, the machine

silently takes 64 cross-sectional images – “slices” – every 400

milliseconds.

From there, the Aquilion’s computer system quickly assembles

thousands of these slices into 3-D images. The physician can

look at these color images from any angle, isolate any organ,

and zoom in on any spot. For example, its ability to conduct

fast, highly detailed brain scans can help stop a stroke in its

tracks. When a patient comes to Jersey Community Hospital

with stroke symptoms, the 64-slice CT scanner lets physicians

determine within minutes if the patient can receive TPA.

TPA is a clot-busting medicine that can restore blood flow

and prevent brain damage, but only stroke patients without

bleeding in the brain can safely receive it.

Another area where it excels is pediatric care. It’s often

difficult for children to hold still for the longer times needed by

older scanners. With the 64-slice, if they can hold still for just a

few seconds, that’s all we need. People who have breathing

problems also benefit from the fast scanner. Older scanners

require that patients hold their breath for 30 seconds or more.

The Aquillion 64 helps Jersey Community Hospital to continue

providing people-focused care. We’re proud to be able to

offer this service to our community.

JCH Wellness Center now offers the AlterG Anti-Gravity

Treadmill, the world’s first and only treadmill using NASA based

anti-gravity technology, to help patients in their short-term

rehabilitation programs.

AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmills enable faster rehabilitation,

safer conditioning for the geriatric population, and weight

loss, which can help remove major obstacles associated with

these activities. Impact on the body and the pain of recovery

are reduced, which helps people achieve better results. Patients

at JCH can now rehab better, train smarter, and exercise safer

with the AlterG.

“This is a great machine for patients who just had knee surgery,

are dealing with arthritis or have another health condition that

prohibits them from putting full weight on their legs,” says Tom

Smith, Director at JCH Wellness Center. “Now, they are able to

get a great cardiac workout, without putting stress on their

joints.”

With the AlterG, patients can run and walk without bearing

their entire weight, reducing the impact on the body to optimize

rehabilitation and physical therapy outcomes. Its Differential

Air Pressure (DAP) technology applies a lifting force to the body

that reduces weight on the lower extremities and allows precise

“unweighting” – up to 80% of a person’s body weight, so people

can find exactly where the pain stops and natural movement

feels good again.

“This treadmill is a breakthrough in enabling our rehabilitation

patients to get back to their lives as quickly and effectively as

possible,” says Tom.

There are a multitude of benefits when training and

rehabilitating on the AlterG. Patients can use the AlterG Anti-

Gravity Treadmill to recover from injury and surgery, and it

allows them to immediately do partial weight-bearing exercises.

Patients with neurological disorders maintain, and in some cases

even regain, functionality and mobility working with the AlterG.

It is also used as a motivational tool for obese patients, as users

can immediately experience what it would feel like to weigh

less, exercise with less joint impact and stress, and improve their

cardiovascular health.

“With AlterG you get all the gain, without the pain,” says Lars

Barfod, CEO of AlterG. Adopted initially by nationally renowned

hospitals and rehabilitation facilities, most recently nursing

facilities are seeing the benefits the AlterG can provide for their

patients. “We are pleased that JCH is one of those pioneers,” he

said. “Our unique approach to “unweighted” physical therapy

preserves natural body movement, helps with fall prevention

and benefits a broad range of medical conditions.”

AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmills are designed to be used for lower

body injury and surgery rehabilitation, aerobic conditioning,

weight control and reduction, sport specific conditioning

programs, neurologic retraining, and geriatric strength and

conditioning. For more information, visit www.alter-g.com or

contact the JCH Wellness Center today.

We are offering 10-minute Free Trials on the Alter-G. Call

(618) 498-8480 to make an appointment.

“UTIs, a type of healthcare-associated infection, account for

more than 30 percent of infections reported by acute care

hospitals in the United States. And, virtually all healthcare-

associated UTIs are caused by instrumentation of the urinary

tract (mainly catheters),” notes Sanjay Saint MD, MPH, the

associate chief of medicine at the Ann Arbor VA Medical Center,

a professor of medicine at the University of Michigan Medical

School, and a liaison to CDC’s Healthcare Infection Control

Practices Advisory.

“Catheter-associated UTIs can result in increased morbidity,

mortality, hospital cost, and length of stay,” Saint continues.

“The good news, however, is that many catheter-associated

UTIs can be prevented with recommended infection control

measures.”

Jersey Community Hospital had the opportunity to present

at the Illinois Hospital Association Infection Control Meeting.

We are committed to taking the appropriate infection control

measures to ensure our patients’ safety and overall health.
