Bloomington Police Department program focuses on offficers' mental health
One in every seven police officers worldwide suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder or depression, and one in every 10 struggles with other mental illnesses. Officers in Bloomington, Minnesota, are making sure to check in and take care of their fellow officers. Amos Olivarez is the wellness director at the Bloomington Police Department. "What I see is this beautiful picture of what wellness could eventually be for us," Olivarez said. He doesn't have a badge, but he does have access, working the streets and watching the pressure. "I didn't realize how often they are dealing with really hard things. They are dealing with people on their absolute worst day for the most part," Olivarez said. "Police work in general is high pressure, but police work in the Twin Cities is really high pressure, because you can't make a mistake. They've got to try to do it by the book every single time, they've got to show up with compassion every single time, and every situation is very different." It's a truth one commanding officer knows well. "The stress of this job, both dealing with the calls in the streets, whether it's domestics or whatever calls we go to, and the internal politics of local government and everything else, it takes a toll on you and I think that was a forgotten piece of the puzzle," Sgt. Nick Sassor said. Yet an officer is all Sassor ever wanted to be. "When people go to college and they're like, 'I don't know what my major is,' I couldn't wrap my head around it," he said. "I knew exactly what I wanted to do. There was no doubt." He's helped save lives, and he's seen lives lost, even young ones. "I have done CPR on an infant before on a call and giving that news to the mom, it's devastating, it's really hard to do," Sassor said. That's why he's been supporting the department's new one-of-a-kind holistic wellness program. "There's just a lot more camaraderie and togetherness, and just knowing that the department cares about your mental health," Sassor said. It's a program led by Olivarez. "I've got cousins, I've got uncles who have retired from law enforcement, sheriff's departments, police departments. I've got cousins who are currently active," he said. "I have always had a heart for first responders." Olivarez used to be a pastor and a volunteer at the department. The chief helped get a new grant to give him a new purpose. "I wanted someone to come in from the community to help hold us accountable to our core values," Chief Booker T. Hodges said. "We need to make sure that our officers are healthy, we also need to make sure that our departments are in alignment with our community. Because when they're not in alignment, you are gonna have problems." Olivarez serves as an outside eye as to how officers treat others and themselves. "A healthy cop, a cop that is holistically well, that means that they are out doing really good police work from a place of wholeness and wellness," he said. His lessons on working out, balance at home and seeking mental help are being heard. "Before it was just dust yourself up and you'll be fine, and now it's, there's more debriefs, there's more making sure that mentally and physically you are making it through this job," Sassor said. So he will continue to serve, so they can serve, too. "We're going to do our very best to fight against that to normalize wellness," Olivarez said. If you or someone you know is in emotional distress, get help from the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988. Trained crisis counselors are available 24 hours a day to talk about anything. In addition, help is available from the National Alliance on Mental Illness, or NAMI. Call the NAMI Helpline at 800-950-6264 or text "HelpLine" to 62640. There are more than 600 local NAMI organizations and affiliates across the country, many of which offer free support and education programs.

7-Day Colonoscopy-Prep Meal Plan, Created by a Dietitian
Reviewed by Dietitian Jessica Ball, M.S., RD About This Plan This 7-day plan is set at 1,800 calories per day, with modifications for 1,500 and 2,000 calories. Each day provides at least 112 grams of protein while following general pre-colonoscopy nutrition guidelines. This plan limits fiber later in the week, which is recommended prior to a colonoscopy. If you're reading this, chances are your colonoscopy date is etched in your calendar and you're wondering what to do to prepare. While it's a standard and common screening tool, there are some nutrition changes required before having a colonoscopy. In this plan, we incorporate the typical pre-colonoscopy nutrition recommendations by avoiding nuts and seeds, as well as any foods that contain them, for seven days prior to a colonoscopy. We also include a low-fiber routine for four days prior to the fasting day. Doing this helps the prep go smoother and ensures the colon is clear for the colonoscopy. Day 7, or the day before your colonoscopy, is a fasting day where it's recommended to have clear liquids only. You'll find meal-prep tips and three different calorie levels to choose from. Follow along to get started. Day 1 Breakfast (447 calories) 1 serving Creamy Scrambled Eggs with Chives 1 cup ripe cantaloupe 1 slice sourdough bread, toasted, topped with 1 tsp. butter A.M.

Day 7 Tomorrow is your colonoscopy. Today is the day when most medical providers recommend you begin your prescribed bowel-prep routine to help clear the colon. Typically, it's recommended to follow a clear liquid diet on this day. Clear liquids are any liquids you can see through, which includes electrolyte drinks, broth, juice, black coffee and tea, fruit-flavored popsicles and smooth Jell-o. You should avoid anything that is red or purple, like cranberry juice or cherry popsicles, as they may look like blood in the colon and can lead to inaccurate results. Be sure to connect with a health care professional if you have any questions or concerns about your prep. Prep Ahead Tips Make Green Goddess Tuna Salad to have for lunch on Days 1 and 2. On Day 3, make Low-Carb Chicken Soup to have for lunch on Days 3 through 6. Frequently asked Questions Is it OK to mix and match meals if there is one I do not like? You can mix and match dinners on days 1 and 2. These two days are essentially a normal routine, though we avoid nuts and seeds. You can mix and match dinners or opt to repeat the same meal twice on days 3 through 6. These days follow a low-fiber routine. Can I eat the same breakfast or lunch every day? Yes, you can eat the same breakfast and lunch every day if you prefer. The only exception would be to switch from a fresh pear to a canned pear, other canned fruit or applesauce if you're choosing to eat the lunch option from Days 1 and 2 later in the week. Fresh pears are a high-fiber fruit and should be limited about 4 days prior to a colonoscopy. Why is there not a modification for 1,200 calories? We no longer provide modifications for 1,200-calorie days in our meal plans. The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggests that limiting calories to 1,200 per day is too low for most people to meet their nutritional needs, plus it's unsustainable for long-term health and well-being. Nutrition Tips to Prep for a Colonoscopy When you're prepping for a colonoscopy, your medical provider will likely give you a list of guidelines to follow for the days leading up to the procedure. It's important to follow these guidelines carefully to ensure that your colonoscopy goes smoothly and the results are accurate. While guidelines may vary depending on the medical facility, it's generally recommended to avoid nuts and seeds, as well as any foods that may contain them, for about seven days prior. Foods with seeds or kernels include berries, cucumbers, tomato, zucchini, many whole-grain breads, bagels and popcorn. Smooth nut butters are typically considered OK to eat. Because high-fiber foods are more difficult to digest, it's often recommended to limit them for the three to five days leading up to a colonoscopy. This helps make sure your colon is clear for your procedure. Foods to limit on these days include oatmeal, whole grains, nuts, seeds, raw fruits and vegetables with skin, and crunchy nut butters. In this plan, the first two days are aligned with a standard healthy eating pattern. You'll find some lower-fiber options, like seedless fruits and sourdough bread, to ease into the rest of the week. Days 3 through 6 follow a lower-fiber routine, focus primarily on protein and include more tender, lower-fiber vegetables, such as well-cooked carrots, spinach and mushrooms. It's typically recommended to follow a low-fiber diet for three to five days prior to the fasting day. For this plan, we chose to incorporate a low-fiber routine for four days. On Day 7, the day before your colonoscopy, it's often recommended to follow a clear-liquid diet. Liquids typically allowed on a clear liquid diet include water, black coffee, broth and lemonade. You should avoid red or purple liquids, as these colors can mimic the look of blood and can impair the accuracy of the procedure. These are general recommendations. Please follow the guidelines outlined by your medical team because individual guidelines, including foods to eat and foods to avoid, may vary depending on the medical facility completing your colonoscopy.
