Dr. Oz’s Ultimate Supplement Checklist
Dr. Oz sheds light on one of the most confusing health issues: What vitamins you should be taking daily. Find out what 4 supplements he takes every day and why you should too.

If you’ve ever stood paralyzed in the vitamin aisle, facing the alphabet soup of supplements, fear no more. This is Dr. Oz’s Ultimate Supplement Checklist. Learn what to take, why your body needs it and the proper dose.
A Multivitamin
A study of 3 million people revealed that less than 1% of the participants got enough essential vitamins from diet alone. That’s why you must take a multivitamin; it also helps prevent heart disease, breast cancer and colon cancer.

The Dose
Look for 100% of the daily value of the 12 essential vitamins and minerals – like vitamins B, C, E and zinc. Note: Only women who are menstruating need a multivitamin with iron. If you are post-menopausal or a male, you do not need a multivitamin that contains iron.
More is not better – avoid “mega-doses.” You only need 100% daily value, not 500%.
Take half in the morning and half at night to maximize absorption. You use a multivitamin’s various components during the chemical reactions that occur throughout your body. So, maintaining constant levels assures a steady supply of these vital nutrients
The Calcium Cocktail
Calcium is a necessary supplement for strong, healthy muscles, bones and teeth. You need to take it in combination with magnesium (to prevent the negative side effects of calcium) and vitamin D (to help the body absorb calcium) in order to get the maxium benefit.

The Dose
Calcium (600 mg) with magnesium (400 mg) and vitamin D (1,000 IU)
Take dose with a full glass of water, 2 hours after eating. Calcium can block the absorption of other supplements and prescriptions, so be sure to take it separately.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and is integral the health of your immune system, blood vessels, muscles and nervous systems. Most of us don’t get enough vitamin D from sunlight, especially if you live in a northern climate or are dark-skinned. Vitamin D may also play a role in preventing certain cancers, including colon, uterine, breast and endometrial cancers.
The Dose
1,000 IU – this dose can be included in multi-vitamins, so make sure you read labels carefully.
Vitamin D is fat soluble, so it works better when taken with a little fat. Try taking it at breakfast with milk or yogurt.
Fish Oil
Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids called DHA and EPA which are essential for optimal functioning of the heart and brain. They reduce arterial inflammation, which can lower your risk for a heart attack. Fish oil is also associated with a 32% reduced risk of breast cancer. While a controversial report this year indicated that fish oil supplements could be dangerous due to possible trace amounts of mercury and/or PCBs (cancer-causing chemicals found in fish swimming in polluted waters), this small amount is not enough to be a concern. Click here for guidelines on buying fish oil with the necessary levels of DHA and EPA.

The Dose
Your daily dose must contain 600 mgs of the DHA omega-3 fatty acid.
Take fish oil with breakfast to avoid “fishy burps,” a side-effect some report when fish oil is taken on an empty stomach.
Many fish oils recommended refrigeration to keep them from spoiling. Check the label carefully.
Baby Aspirin
Though technically not a supplement, baby aspirin can help prevent heart attacks and it can reduce the chance of stroke. Recent studies suggest an added benefit: aspirin has been linked to the prevention of almost every cancer.

The Dose
Take 2 baby aspirin daily.
Consult your doctor before starting a daily aspirin regimen.

City of Detroit Benefits Survey {0}

Last week we informed you that the City of Detroit was going to forward you a survey regarding the 2018 Health Care Enrollment. The survey is more restrictive than we believed it would be because we believe there should be more concerns addressed in the survey.
 
The DPLSA is working towards more affordable options for our membership with lower co-pays, co-insurance and deductibles along with more health care concerns covered. We are also seeking enhancement to our current prescription coverage. We also want our members to be able to seek treatment wherever they choose and we support wellness options.
 
Ultimately we want Health Care plans that matter for our membership because they deserve it for their families and themselves!
 
I have attached the link for the survey, please take the time to review and address your concerns, thank you, take care of each other and stay safe!

Detroit Red Wings and Law Enforcement Team Up for the Final Law Enforcement Appreciation Night at Joe Louis Arena

Detroit Red Wings v. Los Angeles Kings, Joe Louis Arena, on Thursday, December 15, 2016

WASHINGTON DC—The Detroit Red Wings have joined the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund to host their final Law Enforcement Appreciation Night at Joe Louis Arena on Thursday, December 15, 2016, at 7:30 pm. For the sixth year in a row, this special night will honor the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers, correctional officers, their families and the communities they serve while raising awareness and funds for the National Law Enforcement Museum, currently under construction in Washington, DC, and scheduled to open in 2018.

The game’s opening ceremony will be dedicated to honoring Michigan officers killed in the line of duty this year, including Wayne State University Police Department Officer Collin Rose, Berrien County (MI) Sheriff’s Department Court Security Officer Ronald Kienzle, Berrien County (MI) Sheriff’s Department Court Security Supervisor Joe Zangaro, Detroit (MI) Police Department Sergeant Kenneth Steil and Officer Myron Jarrett.

The Macomb County (MI) Sheriff’s Department Honor Guard will present the colors for the National Anthem during the evening’s opening ceremony.

“We’re excited to welcome more than 1,100 police officers and their families from throughout the state of Michigan to the Red Wings game on Thursday to thank them for their service,” said Rick Fenton, Vice President of Corporate Security for Ilitch Holdings, Inc. “With proceeds benefitting the [National] Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, we look forward to raising money and paying respect to officers who continue to put their lives on the line to protect our communities.”

During the game, the Detroit Red Wings coaching staff will be supporting law enforcement by wearing special-edition National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund lapel pins.

“This is a memorable night as we honor Michigan law enforcement officers at ‘The Joe,’” said Craig W. Floyd, President & CEO of the Memorial Fund. “Many years of great hockey games have taken place on the ice at the JOE, including six law enforcement appreciation events. We look forward to our continued partnership with the Detroit Red Wings and are excited to honor law enforcement in the new Little Caesars Arena next year.”

The Detroit Red Wings are offering a special all-inclusive Law Enforcement Appreciation Night package starting at just $47 for the general public, law enforcement officers and their families. The package

includes a ticket to the game and a Detroit Red Wings Farewell Law Enforcement Patch. Additionally, the Detroit Red Wings will donate $10 from each ticket sold directly to the Memorial Fund in support of the National Law Enforcement Museum.
