Emory, Wellstar may join to create new health system Two of Georgia’s largest health care networks may combine to create a new system to serve metro Atlanta and beyond. Date/Time created: Feb 13 2015 10:12:20:713PM Emory University and WellStar Health System are in talks about a potential merged system, they announced this morning. The new system would take about a year to create, the announcement said. “Our shared vision is to design one of the best health systems in the nation to serve local communities, the state of Georgia, and beyond,” said Reynold J. Jennings, CEO of WellStar Health System. “The new system will be one of the most innovative and transformational healthcare systems in the industry.” By combining, the goal is to create a healthcare environment that would offer the best of community-based care and the best of academic medicine, the announcement said. WellStar Health System said it is Georgia’s largest not-for-profit health system. WellStar includes WellStar Kennestone Regional Medical Center; WellStar Cobb, Douglas, Paulding and Windy Hill hospitals; WellStar Medical Group, Urgent Care Centers, Health Parks, Pediatric Center; Health Place; Homecare; Hospice; Atherton Place; Paulding Nursing Username: SPEEDDRIVER12 and Rehabilitation Center; and the WellStar Foundation. Emory University encompasses nine academic divisions as well as Emory Healthcare, Georgia’s largest and most comprehensive health care system and the only one with Georgia with two hospitals that have earned Magnet Designation, signifying nursing excellence. Formal discussions over the proposal will continue over the next 45 days. The U.S. has been seeing a surge of hospital consolidations in recent years, as hospitals combine with other hospitals and with clinics and other facilities. In 2013, hospitals and health systems announced 98 new combinations, a 51 percent increase from 2010, according to an analysis by Kaufman Hall, a management consultant firm. As more hospitals have merged, the Federal Trade Commisson has stepped up reviews to make sure that markets remain competitive. The agency challenged a proposed merger of rival hospitals in Albany, Georgia, contending it would raise prices for hospital services.

By Jon Waterhouse For the AJC Hanan Waite, a neonatal nurse at Northside Hospital, knows firsthand the challenges at hospitals in third world countries and the often tragic results of those challenges. Born and raised in Ghana, West Africa, Waite lost both of her parents at an early age due to the country’s lack of basic health care. After being adopted by an aunt and uncle, she relocated to America in 1997. In 2011, Waite gave birth to her son, Ramzi, two-and-a-half months prematurely at Northside. A 10-week stint in the neonatal intensive care found the fragile infant’s good days flip-flopping with bad. Preeclampsia threatened the lives of both Waite and her baby. Although the pair eventually thrived and survived, a recurring thought haunted Waite for the next year. What would I have done if I were in Ghana? “If I had been there,” she said, “neither of us would have made it.” The negative reputation of Ghana’s hospitals looms large with minimal staff, rampant corruption, and lack of funds, supplies and equipment. According to the CIA World Factbook, an estimated 38.52 deaths per 1,000 live births took place in Ghana last year. And Waite wants to help decrease that number. A year after her son’s birth, Waite says she decided to stop thinking and start doing. The concept of Earth’s Angels came out of her concern for mothers and babies in her homeland. Waite envisioned a nonprofit that would improve “mother and infant mortality one mother and baby at a time.” Lacking the funds to hire a lawyer, Waite dove in herself doing the appropriate research and filling out mounds of paperwork. In 2013, Earth’s Angels became a 501(c)(3) organization, allowing Waite to take off and fly. Her initial mission saw Waite focus- Filename: 6-PULSE-PULS0215-PULSE Hanan Waite goes through clothing collected in the garage of her Lawrenceville home for her nonprofit Earth’s Angels. PHIL SKINNER / AJC ing Earth’s Angels’ efforts on Ridge Hospital in Accra, Ghanna, and its neonatal, obstetric and pediatric units. She chose Ridge due to its thin staff. Fundraising gave Earth’s Angels the ability to send medical supplies, diapers, clothing, infant food, formula and a host of other items. When time came to send the third shipment last September, Waite delivered the goods herself. “Part of my promise is to make sure these items are delivered and put in the hands of those who need them most,” Waite explained. “And being from Ghana, I am able to do that. I speak the local vernacular. I’m able to get it in the hands of those who actually need it, despite the corruption, which is part of the problem.” Waite and her team of volunteers not only brought the supplies to the hos- Date/Time created: Feb 13 2015 10:12:21:376PM FIND OUT MORE Mother and infant mortality remains a critical issue across the globe For more information on this topic, read the World Health Organization’s publication Africa’s newborns — counting them and making them count. http://www.who.int/pmnch/media/ publications/aonsection_I.pdf pital, but jumped in and did handson work.

When she founded Earth’s Angels, Waite recalls hearing firsthand accounts from a medical student about hospital conditions in Ghana. Tales of as many as three babies sharing a single incubator and sleeping in their own feces, because there wasn’t enough staff to regularly change diapers, shocked Waite. Although Ridge Hospital remains on the road to improvement with more funding and a better equipped staff, other hospitals in Ghana aren’t. Horrendous reports keep coming. While in Ghana in September, Waite captured reports from Ghanaian citizens for a video documentary currently available on the Earth’s Angels website.

She heard stories of women delivering their babies on the hospital floor, and others getting beaten during labor and delivery, because they were crying while they were pushing. Stories like these continue to inspire Waite’s mission. Earth’s Angels plans to raise funds at its second annual gala event and silent auction this summer. Money will support a return trip to Ghana later this year. This time Waite and her crew plan on venturing into the outskirts of Ghana and visiting villages where mothers and babies typically have no medical care at all. Earth’s Angels will provide supplies and teaching tools to lay midwives in the area. Earth’s Angels, however, doesn’t strictly confine its work out of the country. According to Waite, simultaneously working with mothers and Filename: 7-PULSE-PULS0215-PULSE babies on the local level in the Atlanta area remains “crucial.” Last year, Earth’s Angels began working with the Gwinnett Children’s Shelter in Buford, which provides a residence for mothers and children in need. In 2014, Earth’s Angels made a financial contribution as well as a gift donation of infant diapers and clothing. Watching her vision become a reality encourages Waite to push Earth’s Angels further with hopes of expanding into other regions and countries. She does this while juggling a marriage, two children and her career at Northside. “I guess I can sound cliche and say that it’s my passion,” Waite said. “It makes me happy to know that even though I’m one woman and this is [a small organization] that even if I can save 12 babies, that’s huge. ... I work on Earth’s Angels every single day when I have time once I put my children to bed. The happiness and passion are the fuel, and it has been for the past three years now.” For more information visit earthsangelsgive.org.

By Cindy Foster For the AJC Spiritual care is an integral part of the healing process. In hospitals and clinics, the focus of pastoral staff and outside clergy is on the patient, as it should be. However, where does this leave the healthcare provider who may also feel emotionally burdened by the suffering of a patient? Medicine is a profession where practitioners grapple with life and death on a daily basis. In such an environment, spiritual self-care becomes critical. The Dalai Lama says, “In dealing with those who are undergoing great suffering, if you feel burnout setting in, if you feel demoralized and exhausted, it is best, for the sake of everyone, to withdraw and restore yourself. The point is to have a long-term perspective.” This withdrawal and restoration is spiritual self-care. The essential practice of restoring the spirit and communing with a Higher Power spans millennia, cultures and religious traditions. Victoria Schwartz is the Director of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd at St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church in Dunwoody. As a church staff member, she is often called upon to offer pastoral care to church members. Her experience gives her a comprehensive perspective on how spiritual self-care is handled in the context of Christianity. Schwartz says, “The Christian faith’s understanding of suffering is that we all suffer and we are all called to bear one another’s burdens in the sufferings of life. So in one sense all Christians are called to be caregivers.” “(People) think that to be Self-restoration can take many forms.

However, to be truly effective as a caregiver means to develop an emotional detachment which acknowledges a perVictoria Schwartz son’s pain without being overwhelmed by it themselves. I can pray for them and even feel sad for them, but if I get anxious or over-involved in their pain, I lose perspective and am not able to help them. I must stay outside of their suffering.” Being emotionally useful while keeping a healthy attitude is not an easy task. Since 1975, Stephen Ministries has had unprecedented success in empowering laypeople to effectively provide spiritual care to people who are hurting. Across the U.S. and Canada, this program is used by over 12,000 congregations and organizations that span 170 different denominations. Schwartz adds that Stephen Ministries is an excellent place for the caregiver to find the spiritual support they need in a confidential and comfortable environment. There are also other support groups with specific purposes, many of which cater to caregivers. They include AlAnon and Alateen, adults caring for aging parents, Alzheimer’s respite groups and persons caring for family members with disabilities or mental illness. Medical professionals and laypersons alike can find support and spiritual encouragement in these groups. Another means for spiritual restoration, prominent in many faiths, is the act of sequestering oneself away from the chaos of daily life. Judaism, Christianity and Buddhism are among the major religions that embrace asceticism to some extent. Caregiver continued on 9 Cyan Magenta Yellow Black PULS Sunday, Feb 15, 2015 PULSE 9 9 • The Atlanta Journal-Constitution • Pulse • ajcjobs.com PULSE 9 AN ADVERTISING SPECIAL SECTION Victoria Schwartz says it is just as important for the caregiver to have spiritual restoration, while also being there for those who are in need of their help. PHIL SKINNER / AJC Caregiver continued from 8 Schwartz says, “When my children were young, and I needed a day of quiet, I would go to the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers and just spend time on the grounds or in the chapel. The monks there were very good about being available if I needed them and leaving me alone if I didn’t.” She adds, “When I can’t take a lot of time away, I find a chapel and sit in the quiet. Many churches have public chapels which are left open for private prayer and meditation. And some have prayer gardens which offer quiet in the midst of nature.” Another solitary but very effective technique for spiritual centering is meditation. Again, this is a practice that is intrinsic to a number of religions and it takes many different forms. For example, there is mandala meditation. Sanskrit for circle, mandalas are a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism. The creation of the mandala, often with colored sand, is done in a meditative state and focuses on certain themes. The contemplation of the complete mandala is a way to focus inward. The dismantling of the completed mandala is a reminder of the transient nature of the world. Walking a labyrinth is another meditative spiritual tool. It is often symbolic of the journey to the center of oneself Filename: 9-PULSE-PULS0215-PULSE and is used by many as a way to learn about the spiritual path. Schwartz says that many churches offer other meditative services such as Taizé. Taizé is a style of Christian worship that often incorporates simple harmonies sung in different languages. Singing is interspersed with reading, silence and prayer. “I find music, such as Taizé, very healing when I am under stress,” says Schwartz. Prayer is another spiritual discipline that can be performed collectively or individually on behalf of oneself or on behalf of others. Schwartz says, “We can pray for strength and guidance, and we commend those we care for to the comfort and care of God also. Our faith gives us hope and the confidence that God is with us, which helps us be at peace in the middle of a stressful situation.” In addition to prayer, Schwartz says touch is vitally important. “Touching the hand of a patient or holding both their hands in yours makes a connection between the caregiver and patient and can be very calming to both.” When you find yourself in need of spiritual restoration, the techniques are simple and can be tailored to suit individual beliefs and faith traditions. Create or seek out a space where you feel safe to encounter your Higher Power. Seek the support of others with similar concerns and carve out some alone time for focusing inward through meditation or prayer.

By Jon Waterhouse For the AJC A day in the life of a trauma center nurse has that Forrest Gump boxof-chocolates quality. Cue the Tom Hanks drawl: You never know what you’re going to get. Some find themselves hopping from bedside to bedside, facing the spinning wheel of injuries up close and personal; a motor vehicle crash victim one moment, a severe gunshot wound the next. The rapid-fire succession of patients and life threatening situations require juggling tasks, high-pressure critical thinking and a strong constitution. And a pair of running shoes wouldn’t hurt. Nurses looking to begin the life-saving race of working in a trauma center must typically have at least two years as an ER nurse, have an emergency nursing certificate and complete the Trauma Nursing Core Course. The latter arms nurses with a standardized wealth of knowledge to be used on the job. According to Dan Cunningham, a trauma nurse at Atlanta Medical Center, most emergency rooms require Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Pediatric Advanced Life Support certifications. Depending on where you work, a certified trauma nurse usually must get re-certified every few years. Yet many professionals in the field agree that more comes into play than just an educational background. Some argue that ace trauma nurses prove to be born, not made. “You have to be able to multitask,” said Cunningham. “It’s constant. You’re never going to be doing just one thing. You may have four different patients with four different emergencies, and you have to know every aspect of that.” Cunningham equates it to being a waiter at a life-or-death cafe serving multiple tables each with special orders. And you have to wait those tables with a poker face and a thick skin.

Don’t be surprised, he adds, if they take it out on you. Peggy Griffin, a trauma center charge nurse who took home the ER Nurse of the Year award from Grady Health System in 2014, agrees you have to be ready for anything and multiple things at one time. “There’s so much going on at once,” she explained. “You’re just trying to prioritize what you need to do next.

If others are busy or out of the room, you have to be mindful of what’s going on.” As a bedside trauma nurse for instance, the duties continually vary like the pieces to a medical puzzle. You’re putting in IVs, drawing blood, giving medications and maybe even shocking a patient who’s in arrest. And the list continues. Griffin goes on to explain collaboration remains key in the trauma center. Lone wolves won’t get too far. Username: SPEEDDRIVER13 Teamwork, she says, stays vital. While managing the trauma program at Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville, Gina Solomon, a registered nurse, has a clear vantage point of the importance of synergy.

Everybody needs to be on the same page and working together.” Solomon pauses for a beat before letting out a chuckle. “And the faster the better,” she said. The Need For Speed Just before returning home from a U.S. Army deployment in Iraq, Cunningham knew he wanted to move into a meaningful profession with larger stakes. A friend in nursing school explained the field to him, and he realized it might be a good fit. So while attending nursing school himself, he began working in a trauma center as an ER tech. He developed a passion for trauma nursing, and upon graduation he headed in that direction. “I wanted something that had higher consequences and a certain stress level to meet my needs,” he explained. “There is a level of accomplishment when you can look back at the chaos that you were involved in and you kept it under control.” Adrenaline junkies? Solomon says many certainly find their way into the trauma center. Although she admits that’s part of her own personal appeal, she also appreciates the wide range of work experiences. To her, variety continues to be the trauma center spice. “That’s what really drew me to it,” Solomon said. “It wasn’t a one specialty kind of thing. You were looking at a broad spectrum with a patient. They could have a head injury, an abdominal injury and a broken bone as well. So you got to work with a lot of different (specialists) on those types of patients.” Level Up Trauma nurses have the opportunity to go to work in different environments. Level 1 trauma centers denote those at the highest level. Only a pair of Level 1 trauma centers, the Marcus Trauma Center at Grady and Atlanta Medical Center, exists in Atlanta. This means they offer the greatest amount of comprehensive trauma care, including access to operating rooms, trauma surgeons and other specialists. Having garnered a strong reputation, the Marcus Trauma Center bustles with activity with its 15 beds, seven resuscitation bays and eight criti- Filename: 12-PULSE-PULS0215-PULSE Date/Time created: Feb 13 2015 10:12:26:513PM Username: SPEEDDRIVER14 cal care rooms. More than 3,000 trauma admissions take place annually, and the renovated and expanded center went full throttle in late 2011. Griffin, a Grady veteran, says she’s seen a tremendous change with “state-of-theeverything” now in place. Changes Technological changes and advancements continue to transform trauma centers across the board. “It wasn’t too long ago when we were doing our charting on paper,” Cunningham said. “Now with computers you can easily look back at things and find data, look for weak points and what you’re doing wrong.” Although she says the systematic assessment of patients stays basically constant, Solomon sees technology changing the game. “We learn a lot from the military,” she explained. “Most of the new things that come into trauma care we learn from battle medicine, because they’re on the front lines, literally, of research.” While advancements come into play, Solomon sometimes sees what was once old becoming new again. Contemporary versions of tourniquets, she says, have found themselves back into trauma centers. These older methods seem to be joining older trauma patients, she says. Since the elderly tend to be more active these days — continuing to drive and doing strenuous tasks such as cleaning the gutters — it puts them at risk of being involved in a motor vehicle crash or a traumatic injury. “We’re having to learn more about geriatric medicine, because our trauma population is getting older,” Solomon said. “They bring their illnesses and morbidities with them, be it diabetes or high blood pressure, and sometimes it makes them a little more difficult to manage.” As new crops of trauma center nurses attempt to manage their careers, Solomon suggests they remember it’s a continuing process of learning. Seek out a good role model in the field, strive for additional certifications and read voraciously. Become a member of a professional organization that deals with trauma nursing, such as the Society of Trauma Nurses. “Learn the ropes, and then go above and beyond,” she said. “It takes some extra knowledge, and it’s not one of the things they necessarily teach in nursing school. You have to be willing to go out there and get the knowledge on your own.” Cyan Magenta Yellow Black PULS Sunday, Feb 15, 2015 PULSE 13 13 • The Atlanta Journal-Constitution • Pulse • ajcjobs.com PULSE 13 AN ADVERTISING SPECIAL SECTION Q&A WITH PEGGY GRIFFIN, RN Nurse Peggy Griffin (left) works on patient charts with Dr. Jeremy Ackerman.

By Cindy Grace For the AJC Beth Wilson has been a nurse for 33 years. She received her degree from the University of North Carolina and worked for six years at the University Hospital in Chapel Hill before moving to Atlanta in 1987. She has worked at Northside Hospital for the past 28 years. During her career, she’s worked in med-surg, open heart step-down, ICU, post anesthesia care and for the past 18 years she’s worked in the Pain and Spine Treatment Center. A few years ago, Wilson exchanged her hospital scrubs for a patient’s gown when she became so ill, she spent almost a month in the hospital. Wilson recalls: “[I] developed severe pain and a fever over a week’s time. I was transferred to Northside Hospital by ambulance to the ER. I was then transferred to ICU. “So began my almost one month stay which included 14 surgeries, tube feedings through my nose and my PICU line, three wound vacs, two blood transfusions, emergent intubations, and isolation precautions.” Wilson was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis from MRSA and despite her nurse’s precise recall of procedures, she says that she has very little memory of her first 10 days in the hospital. One thing Wilson does remember ... it is not easy to be a patient when you are a nurse. She says: “It is very humbling to be a patient when you are a nurse. It is not in a nurse’s personality to lose control of a situation. When you are a patient, you have NO control, especially when you are desperately ill and relying on others to help you make it through to the next day.” Wilson found herself doing things like hesitating to push the call button, because as a nurse, she was aware of how busy the nurses were. In fact, she says that when she was transferred Filename: 14-PULSE-PULS0215-PULSE from ICU to sub-ICU, it was surreal because she had personally worked that unit for seven years. Suddenly she was the patient. A very sick patient. On the other hand, Wilson found that it was also helpful to have a nurse’s background. She says: “You have an understanding of the process of things. When you work in the same hospital for as long as I have, you get to know a lot of people. It is very comforting to have a familiar face come into the room to do PT or start an IV. I was blessed to have two outstanding doctors who saved my life, Dr. Sam Webster, my infectious disease doctor and Dr. Jarrett Moss with whom I worked daily in the pain clinic. He worked with the acute pain nurses to try to control my excruciating pain. I always felt safe when they would walk through the door.” Being a patient also gave Wilson a clearer understanding of what it is like to be the one in the hospital bed. She says, “I have always considered myself to be a very compassionate nurse, but after you have experienced what patients go through, that compassion doubles.” Wilson more readily relates to her patients in pain because she has experienced debilitating pain. She feels she understands what it is like on a deeper level and she wants to show her patients that there is life after pain. She also had some insights into caring for the patient’s family as well. She says: “The night of my first surgery, my family was told that I only had a 50-50 chance of survival. It was a very casual comment, but it really devastated my family. I am more careful about what I say and how it might be perceived by my patient and their family members.” Despite the severity of her illness and the fact that life was indeed tenuous for Wilson at the time, she has come out on the other side with an amazing attitude. She says: “I always believe that when we walk through the dark days of our life, once we finally come into the light again, we can look back and see where our blessings were. I know without a shadow of a doubt that I am a better nurse for having been a patient.” Date/Time created: Feb 13 2015 10:12:31:030PM Nurse Beth Wilson came down with a debilitating illness and while she was bed-ridden she viewed health care from a different perspective. PHIL SKINNER / AJC Username: SPEEDDRIVER08 Cyan Magenta Yellow Black PULS Sunday, Feb 15, 2015 PULSE 15 AN ADVERTISING SPECIAL SECTION 10 QUESTIONS Is trauma nursing for you? By Jon Waterhouse | For the AJC Considering a career in trauma nursing? Check out the following questions, a few vital signs gathered from several experts in the field. 1 What do you expect from a career in trauma nursing? According to the folks at DiscoverNursing.com, expect long and odd hours. Patient injuries often prove to be severe and not for the weak of stomach. Past studies revealed that more than one quarter of the trauma patients at Grady had penetrating injuries. Are you interested in total care? Trauma nurses need to be wellrounded and have the ability to provide total care for each patient. Versatility is a must. Do you prefer a fast-paced workday? While some opt for a profession that remains routine each day or has a particular focus, trauma nurses get variety at a non-stop pace. According to trauma nurse Dan Cunningham, “things are constantly moving and changing.” Trauma professionals must keep on their toes and on the go. Can you multi-task? A sharp memory and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities at once remains vital in trauma nursing. Working on several patients at once will be a daily occurrence in the trauma center. Do you enjoy continuing to learn? The industry encourages trauma nurses to acquire additional certifications and continue their education while on the job. “If you want to be a functioning nurse, and you want to take your career seriously,” Cunningham said, “you’re going to seek out more education.” Be willing to read up on the field, including publications such as “The Journal of Trauma Nursing,” published six times annually by the Society of Trauma Nursing. Do you have the ability to think critically and remain calm in 2 3 4 5 6 Filename: 15-PULSE-PULS0215-PULSE stressful situations? Cunningham says trauma nurses basically need a certain disposition or personality to thrive in the environment. “You can’t teach the critical thinking that comes from nursing, especially emergency nursing. Some people are able to think critically and stay calm. I’ve seen nurses that didn’t make it and kind of washed out. It just wasn’t for them. Other people come into this and they shine, they enjoy it.” Can you work well with others? Working in a trauma center finds nurses rubbing elbows with a variety of specialists, from neurosurgeons to orthopedists. Those who function as team players rise to the top. Gina Solomon of Gwinnett Medical Center says she strives to know what a respective surgeon needs before he or she asks for it. Is it worth the pay? According to SimplyHired.com, the average salary for a registered nurse in a level 1 trauma center in America is $58,000. Although it varies depending on hospital, location and experience, trauma nurses usually earn on the higher end of the RN scale. According to some reports, trauma nurse salaries have been known to reach heights of more than $120,000. Do you have a good bedside manner? A trauma center patient goes through, well, a highly traumatic experience. You need to be able to communicate well with patients who are alert. “Most people don’t go out and say, ‘Hey, I’m going to get into a motor vehicle crash today.,’” said Solomon. “So there’s the element of psychosocial issues that go with it, too, that I like helping the patients and their families with.” Can you assess things properly and know when to move along? Cunningham says the most challenging part of the job is working with people who are convinced they’re severely ill, but in reality they’re not. Often, he explains, this can lead to a lengthy argument or discussion. “It takes you away from what you need to be doing and need to be addressing,” he said. “You know you need to be moving other things faster. It’s very frustrating when you get hung up with that.” 7 8 9 10 Date/Time created: Feb 13 2015 10:12:29:610PM Username: SPEEDDRIVER09 15 • The Atlanta Journal-Constitution • Pulse • ajcjobs.com PULSE 15 ajcjobs.com • Pulse • The Atlanta Journal-Constitution • 16 Cyan Magenta Yellow Black PULSE 16 PULS Sunday, Feb 15, 2015 PULSE 16 AN ADVERTISING SPECIAL SECTION Organizing recipes online?

Calories are back. And you’re about to see a lot more about them. Under new regulations from the Food & Drug Administration, restaurant chains and food services across the country have to add calorie counts to their menus by Nov. 1. That means you’ll soon start to see calorie counts on everything from your drive-through sandwich to your popcorn at the movies. Nutritionists and dietitians are hailing the news as the biggest step forward in healthful-eating information since nutrition labels were added to food packages in the early 1990s. Dr. Beth Racine, an associate professor of public health services at UNC Charlotte, calls it earth-shaking. “For the food-information transparency movement, it’s big.” It’s also a huge amount of work that has some companies scrambling to comply. Under the FDA’s rules, restaurants with more than 20 locations will have to add the information to their menus, including drive-through displays. That includes quick-service and sitdown restaurants, food delivery companies (yes, including pizza), entertainment venues such as movie theaters and bowling alleys, cafeterias, convenience stores and many supermarket delis. Even prepared-food vending machines may be included, if the company that operates them has more than 20 machines. Joy Dubost, director of nutrition for the National Restaurant Association, said they’re still evaluating what the new rules, released in November 2014, will mean. But the group expects that more than 1,600 chains and up to 300,000 restaurant locations nationwide will be affected. “There’s a lot that has to be done,” she says, from redesigning menus to training staff in how they follow recipes. Even small changes can change the number of calories. And while single-location restaurants and small food businesses don’t have to add the information, they may find themselves under pressure to do Filename: 18-PULSE-PULS0215-PULSE QUIZ: GUESS WHICH ONE IS HIGHER IN CALORIES? 1 Just Fresh Raspberry Fields Salad (mixed greens, blue cheese crumbles, walnuts, carrots, raisins and fat-free raspberry vinaigrette): 544 calories.

It’s the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius. The word“calor”is Latin for heat. Nicolas Clement defined a calorie as a unit of heat in 1824. What does that mean? Calories come from plants or from animals that have eaten plants. Chlorophyll in plants absorbs energy from the sun and converts it to chemical energy. A calorie represents the amount of energy available to your muscle cells when you eat carbohydrates created by plants from carbon dioxide and water by capturing the energy of the sun. What’s the trick? Our bodies aren’t that efficient. We don’t consume or use all the calories we take in. Some are eliminated as waste and some are stored. If a lot are stored, they get converted into fat. Are all calories alike? While they are the same in theory, calories from foods that are higher in nutrients and fiber are used differently by your body than calories from foods that are higher in fat and sugar. A food that is higher in calories but provides more vitamins, nutrients and dietary fiber is better for you than a food that is lower in calories but has more sodium, fat or sugar or less fiber. How are calories measured? Two ways: With a calorimeter: Food is placed under a sealed container of water and set on fire, usually with an electric charge. After the food is burned up, the water temperature is measured to see how many degrees it was raised and calculate how much energy was released by the burning food. Atwater Values: After nutrition labels were added to products in 1990, a USDA scientist named Wilbur Atwater came up with a simpler formula to calculate calories. Proteins and carbohydrates each have 4 calories per gram and fats have 9 calories per gram. How many calories do you need? Nutrition labels are based on 2,000 calories a day. But that’s the number needed by an active male. Women, children, smaller men and sedentary people need fewer. A 35-yearold woman who is 5-foot-6 and weighs 130 pounds and is lightly active 2 or 3 times a week needs 1,789 calories a day. Here’s a calculator that can help you check your needs: www.calculator.net. more food that is lower in calories, says Racine. “If Starbucks puts something in the window and it has 500 calories, they might be embarrassed, so maybe they’ll change it. They’re motivated to make improvements, which I think would be the best outcome. Even if (a consumer) doesn’t care, they’re still benefiting.” While the restaurant business figures it all out, how do you use this new information? That’s where your math skills come in, says Marion Nestle, a professor at New York University who writes frequently about nutrition news. Seeing numbers is only the first step, she says. “Customers have to view the information, understand it and act on it before it will do any good,” she says. Username: SPEEDDRIVER09 To use the calorie information well, you have to know how that number fits into your daily diet. While 2,000 calories a day is a ballpark figure, that’s based on the needs of an average-size, active man. Your own calorie needs vary based on your age, gender, weight, height and physical activity. A medium-height, middle-aged woman who’s trying to lose weight, for instance, may only need 1,600 calories a day. So she’ll want something that has less than 500 calories for lunch if she expects to have a snack later. “Menu labeling has a big effect on my choices,” Nestle said by email. “If people pay attention to the labeling, it could help them realize the one thing about calories that I wish everyone understood: Larger portions have more calories.” Cyan Magenta Yellow Black 19 PULS Sunday, Feb 15, 2015 PULSE 19 19 • The Atlanta Journal-Constitution • Pulse • ajcjobs.com Filename: 19-PULSE-PULS0215-PULSE Date/Time created: Feb 13 2015 8:12:11:843PM Username: SPEEDDRIVER04 20 PULS Sunday, Feb 15, 2015 PULSE 20 ajcjobs.com • Pulse • The Atlanta Journal-Constitution • 20 Cyan Magenta Yellow Black Filename: 20-PULSE-PULS0215-PULSE Date/Time created: Feb 13 2015 8:12:13:453PM Username: SPEEDDRIVER02
