| Hello/Intro Mindless Return to index of stories... |
Hello, I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. I'm here at the Dover Rehabilitation and Living Center in Dover to bring you this special LiveFIT edition. In the next half-hour we'll learn how people here and all over the Granite State are taking control of their health. But first, if you've ever gone into a sub shop, ordered a low fat sandwich and left with a brownie, chips and soda -- you're not alone. Most of us make hundreds of food decisions every day and those choices can lead to over-eating. Outlook's Phil Vaughn has more on what some call "Mindless Eating." |

Some reasons to START moving at work and STOP making excuses. |
| Intro START Walk Return to index of stories... |
Most of us know that daily exercise is good for us. There's always an excuse not to be active. A lot of us work, we're busy. But a new Heart Association program is designed to help all of us fit exercise into our lives. Joining me now to talk about the START program here at Dover Rehabilitation and Living Center is Fran Walker, Executive Director of the Center. |

New research shows the answer to the fountain of youth begins with you. |
| Intro Aging&Exercise Return to index of stories... |
As we continue our LiveFIT NH special report from the Dover Rehabilitation and Living Center, we look now at the quest for the fountain of youth. It seems the older we get, the younger we want to be. Doctors now say they know what keeps us young: EXERCISE. It lowers the risk of disease, keeps the body strong and helps slow down the biological clock. Outlook's Phil Vaughn has more. |
| Aging & Exercise Return to index of stories... |
Exercise and Aging Old footage of Jack LaLanne N1- Fifty years ago, Jack LaLanne was thought of as a revolutionary. Through television he made fitness at any age seem possible. Today, researchers confirm what LaLanne preached half-a-century ago. Dain - "He's right. We see people in their 80's and 90's make improvements in strength." N2- And Dain LaRoche should know, it's his job. He's an exercise physiologist at the University of NH. LaRoche studies the effects physical activity has on the aging body. Dain - "The cardiovascular fitness begins to decline at age thirty. Strength declines at age fifty." N2b - And he says it's usually during those years when most physical conditions of aging are in full force. Dain - "The decline however can be attenuated with exercise. So everyone is going to lose some function with aging but the rate of loss can be affected by the amount of exercise you do." Stand up - In London, doctors at King's College recently concluded that exercise does play an important role in helping keep the body young. The reasons range from healthier cells to reduced risks of heart disease and cancer. Dain - "We did a study to compare high active seniors with low active seniors. We looked at the activity level across their lifespan and current level of muscle function. The higher level seniors had 25% higher muscle function and power." Sound of Gary working out N3- Gary Arkerson hasn't read the studies on aging and exercise. He does however exemplify them. Gary - "I feel great. I feel better now than when I was in my twenties." N4- Arkerson is 63 years old. The gym is his place to hang out. Gary - "I'm here Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays." N5- Until his retirement from the railroad several years ago, Arkerson spent a lot of time sitting around on the job. He was behind the controls of this very train. Shot of Gary going by on train. Gary - "As far as working out in the gym, I didn't do that at that time. Now that I'm retired, I can come here on a day to day basis." N6a - And that effort seems to have paid off. Gary - "Back in my fifties I developed Type II diabetes and had high cholesterol levels around 210. So I came in here and started working out and lowered my blood levels and cholesterol." N6- Arkerson weight trains for strength. It also helps increase bone density. On other days, he studies TaeKwonDo -- for cardio-vascular conditioning, improved reflexes and balance. Gary - "To do anything in TaeKwonDo you need balance. That's number one. I have to have balance to do my patterns. I'm working on patterns now that require a lot of balance." N7- LaRoche spends most of his time researching balance. He wants to know why some older folks fall and others do not. Dain - "There are physical factors that relate to balance, strength and reaction time." N8- Knowing how to improve those factors in the aging body can help prevent falls and the consequences of them. Dain - "About a third of seniors will have falls later in life and a fall often results in a hip fracture. Life expectancy after a hip fracture is around two years. It leads to reduced mobility, reduced independence and early death." N8- So if you want to stay young, don't go looking for the fountain of youth. Go for a walk, or to the gym and keep in mind… Dain - "There's no time like the present. The good story is exercise does benefit people at any age, whatever level of function you are at now - you can improve upon it. The elderly body is capable of making adaptations in strength and cardiovascular performance. It's universal." Gary - "You're never too old. It's like retirement, people retire and say there's nothing to do - well they're not looking. You're never too old to start." LaLanne footage N9- By the way - remember Jack LaLanne - fitness pioneer from the 1950's? He's still going strong at a young 94. For NH Outlook, I'm Phil Vaughn. |

Dain LaRoche says a good guideline for exercise is to start slowly and work your way up. Thirty minutes of moderate exercise a day, like walking, will produce benefits. |

SOT: Olivia: 1:06:30 I think its really important for people to know signs and symptoms of heart attack…just because you can stop it early.if you have a squeezing in chest.sometimes people will ignore it and say… oh.it was one squeeze but sometimes it can be the root of a really big problems. TRK5: Given the family history …Olivia and her 2 sisters have been closely monitored. Within months of her mother's death, Olivia's 20-year-old sister Cassandra, who was studying abroad, collapsed at the airport. SOT: 1:02:57 she had left her purse and passport on plane.she realized it when she reached tarmac of the airport - she ran up it, flight of stairs, collapsed at top.couldn't revive her tried 40 times but she died suddenly 1:03:11 1:15:05 roomates/ 1:15;12/ 1:19:09 with door closed SOT: 1:10:17/ the nice thing about living in a sorority they watched me go thru process and helped me out.

Only say one word… it was such struggle to communicate, almost blind in one eye she lived constantly in pain.so many things that don't really affect you until you hear about them TRK9: Losing her mother & sister has changed the way Olivia looks at heart disease and the choices she makes. 1:12::37 and I want people to understand that this can happen to anyone :40 at any time:42 a lot of us are a ticking time bomb: 45 I think its important to re-evaulate the choices and life.and to listen to other people's stories.

| Molly/Stroke Return to index of stories... |
HEART/ Molly Nats: these are actually garden burgers …instead of hamburgers take it easy on potatoe chips but have a couple,,.couple I have hi cholesterol …yes.so, we're pretty careful and I had a stroke.so…we'trying to eat healthy 1:33:29 TRK1: 33-year old Molly Campbell has always tried to eat right…. and be active.

At first, thought I slept on it wrong and that it was asleep… kind of, tried to shake it around and it just never seemed to wake up, there was no response. 02:02: 27 : At the time I was captain of my rugby team I was really fit and I thought maybe something had gone wrong with a muscle. 02:03:20 I was admitted to the hospital and they believed the reason I did suffer from the stroke was linked to birth control, estrogen I was on. TRK2: Oral contraceptives and Migraines, which Molly suffers from, are risk factors for strokes in young women. SOT: 02:15:14 I would say that one of the things people need to do is be aware of the symptoms of stroke. I presented pretty classically for stroke. Where I had weakness or numbness on one side… but if your speech if your face starts to droop if your vision because fuzzy that can be a sign for a stroke. TRK3: Sudden warning signs of a stroke include: *numbness of the face, arm or leg *confusion or trouble speaking *difficulty seeing *trouble walking or Loss of balance *severe headache Recovery depends on how quickly you react. SOT: Molly Tape: 02:05:00 If you are suffering a stroke due to a blood clot in the brain if you get to the hospital soon enough they can actually disperse that clot and sometimes even reverse the stroke. Blood supply will be restored to the part of the brain that was affected by the clot.:21 TRK4: Getting to the hospital within 3 hours made all the difference in Molly's recovery. 2:03:50 I still have some fatigue and my hands get tired sometimes but I was very fortunate that someone was able to identify the signs that I was suffering a stroke. 02:04:26 TRK6: Molly's stroke came 2 months before her wedding day. my family amazingly pulled together and still got the wedding to come off and they threw me a wedding shower I had to go take a nap in the middle and I couldn't unwrap my presents myself. TRK7: Molly was eventually able to stand and be present at her wedding, finish her masters, and start at family. Nats: of baby Molly/Olivia Tape SOT:2:05:37-:46/ Molly .if I'm 29 and an athlete and fit and just woke up one morning with an arm that didn't work then it can happen to anyone. TRK8: Molly knows the outcome might have been different had she not acted quickly. Nats: 1:34:36** 1:34:36 I"m actually really lucky that I can do as much as I can.because stroke affected mortor cortex of right hand …and that's where my brain damage occurred. I 've been able to rehab so I can write and cut and do everything… hold a baby 1:34:55 SOT: 2:17:44-:51 Molly: sometimes there's a genetic marker she doesn't have one.no risk of stroke.
