3 = Q & A I recently retired. My wife and I have been looking forward to this stage in our lives for a long time, but now that it s here I Q feel more stress than relief. What can I do? A Stress is a part of everybody s life whether it s caused by negative changes like divorce or death, or by seemingly positive ones like a birth in your family or retirement. However, long-term stress will hurt your physical health and impact your relationships. It contributes to high blood pressure, weakens your immune system and aggravates other health conditions. You should take it seriously. To help manage your stress, start by making small changes in your lifestyle. Exercise is a good way to let go of stress, so why not take a dance class with your wife? Go for a walk or start gardening more regularly. Another way to reduce stress is by exercising your mind. Start writing a journal or stress log to express your thoughts. Set aside time each day to try your hand at a quiet game like Sudoku or bridge. = Test your stress level in our online Health Library. Go to and under the Health & Wellness menu, choose Health Library. = pharmacy generic update Below, we list the brand-name drugs (by condition) recently released in a generic form. Medication Use Brand Name Generic Name High blood pressure Altace Ramipril Stomach/ulcer Protonix Pantoprazole Nausea/vomiting associated with chemotherapy Kytril Granisetron 3
4 Prevention: his & hers health Care ( When it comes to preventive screenings, ) men and women have their differences. What s good for the goose is good for the gander, as the saying goes. But if you re talking about preventive health screenings, what s good for her can be a bit different from what s best for him. Certain preventive health screenings are important for everyone, but men and women have their own unique health care needs. Here s a general checklist of the preventive and immunization services you should be asking for. For Him and Her Men and women should consider these screenings part of their routine preventive care: Cholesterol: Every five years, although your doctor may recommend a different frequency if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease or are a smoker. Blood pressure and weight: Checked once a year at least, but your doctor will probably check it at every office visit. Blood glucose: This test for diabetes is often routine, but is especially important if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or other risk factors such as being overweight. Colorectal cancer: Starting at age 50, you should have a fecal occult blood test (FOBT) every year, a flexible sidmoidoscopy every five years and a colonoscopy every 10 years. Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV): Once after you turn 65. 4
5 Influenza vaccine: Recommended annually. Just for Him Men should also be screened for these conditions: Prostate cancer: Recommended annually beginning at age 50. Just for Her Women need these screenings to help prevent female-specific issues: Breast cancer: Conduct a self exam every month and, starting at age 50, get a mammogram annually. Cervical cancer: Get a Pap smear annually. Osteoporosis: Bone density tests beginning at age 65. Education for Everyone Prevention is the best medicine, but a healthy dose of education never hurt anyone, either. That s why Blue Cross of Idaho offers members an extensive online Health Library at, where you can learn more about your health. The site also offers interactive quizzes and calculators to help you manage your health, a symptom checker and links to support groups for specific conditions. And it s there whenever you want it, at no cost. To access the online Health Library, visit and click on the Health & Wellness tab. Under the same tab, you ll also find a section on preventive guidelines. If You Have Diabetes, Take Note: People who live with type 2 diabetes have a unique set of preventive care guidelines. Here s a schedule for you to follow: - Every 3 to 6 months, your doctor should review your blood sugar levels and blood pressure, check your feet for signs of injury or infection and conduct a hemoglobin A1c test (unless your sugar levels have remained consistent for a significant time). - Every 6 months, you should visit your dentist who will check for gum problems. - Every year, you should see your eye doctor for a dilated eye exam. You should also visit your physician for a fasting cholesterol test, a thorough foot exam and a urine test for protein levels. 5
6 Nutrition: eat well LIVE well Nature provides an abundance of nutrition. You ve seen those ads for fad diets and nutritional supplements. But consider this: nature s already provided the secret to sustaining and nourishing your body in the form of fruits and vegetables. The vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in fruits and vegetables are key to keeping our bodies functioning and thriving. Here s the scoop on some of the most important nutrients for your body: Vitamin promotes sources Vitamin A Vitamin B3 (Niacin) Vitamin B9 (Folate) Beta Carotene healthy vision, bone growth, cell reproduction energy, metabolism red blood cell growth healthy vision, growth, cell division carrots, winter squash peanuts citrus fruits and juices, leafy vegetables carrots, cantaloupes, pumpkins, tomatoes Potassium cell and muscle growth citrus fruits, apples, bananas, cantaloupes, potatoes, tomatoes, spinach, peas = Learn more online: Our online Health Library offers even more information about how to eat healthy. Go to, and select Health Library from the Health & Wellness menu. Then, search for nutrition. The Most Valuable Produce Not all vegetables are born equal. Here are three you should put on your grocery list every week: Broccoli: Packed with nutrients and high in vitamin C, calcium and protein, broccoli may protect against ovarian and breast cancers and help slow aging. Onions: With calcium, iron and potassium, onions appear to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal cancers, slow the growth of cancer cells, and may even lower cholesterol. Tomatoes: High in vitamin C and lycopene, these fruits may cut gastrointestinal cancer risk by 50 percent as well as reduce prostate cancer risk by 22 to 35 percent. They also appear to lower heart disease risk. When Your Diet s Not Enough If you smoke, drink regularly or are having trouble maintaining a balanced diet, you may want to consider a supplement or multivitamin. Check with your doctor to determine which is right for you. 6
