WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 2017 ❚ SIUSLAW NEWS (NAPSA)-If you or someone you care about is among the estimated 150 million women who’ll have a urinary tract infec- tion (UTI) this year, you may be relieved to know that cranberry juice may be a nutritional approach to help avoid the infection in the fi rst place. The Problem Approximately 60 per- cent of women will expe- rience a UTI in their life- times and one in four will suffer a recurrence within six months. UTIs are typically treated with prescribed antibiotics; however, an- tibiotic resistance-when bacteria stop responding to the drugs designed to kill them-is possibly the single most important infectious disease threat people face today. In fact, each year, more than two million Americans are infected by germs that are resistant to antibiotics and at least 23,000 people die as a re- sult. According to an omni- bus survey conducted by KRC of 1,000 Americans, nine in 10 adults under- stand that overusing anti- biotics can be harmful to one’s health. So what’s the alternative? An Answer Thankfully, there is a small, nutrient-dense fruit that can help defend your body against UTIs. The best part? You don’t need a prescription for it. It’s the cranberry. “More than 50 years of well-documented research points to cranberries’ unique ability to block certain bad bacteria,” said Dr. Christina Khoo, Di- rector of Global Health Sciences and Regulatory Affairs at Ocean Spray. “This makes cranberries one delicious option that may help prevent urinary tract infections.” You can learn to protect yourself and others from cybercrimes. use unsecure networks every day, but 60 percent say they don’t trust public Wi-Fi to keep their data safe. More than half of people use public Wi-Fi in places like parks, restaurants, libraries and hotels but keep online banking (2 per- cent) and social media use (28 per- cent) relatively low. “What we post and do online is like a tattoo. It never goes away,” Konzen says. “We can’t always use secure networks, especially when we’re away from home, so people should be smart about the types of information they’re sharing when on public networks.” If you have to use public net- works, Konzen suggests using vir- tual private networks (VPNs), web proxies, and anonymous browsers, like Tor; confirm a network is safe before joining and make sure to limit the amount of personal infor- mation shared online. Using strong passwords, keeping soft- ware up to date, and using wire- less hot spots, if available, are other ways to stay secure, he says. University of Phoenix College of Information Systems & Technol- ogy prepares cyberprofessionals to combat increasing cybercrimes. The University offers associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees that teach the risk management and information assurance skills vital to an organization’s success.

Publication Date: January 18, 2017 Good Luck Graphic Search Wednesday’s Graphic Dr. Khoo notes that the key to avoiding the infec- tion altogether is consum- ing an eight-ounce glass of cranberry juice daily. People shouldn’t wait until they have a UTI to drink cranberry juice, be- cause once the symptoms start, they’ll likely need a course of antibiotics. According to that same omnibus survey, consum- ing cranberry juice daily shouldn’t be a problem- three-quarters of adults would rather drink a glass of cranberry juice a day than take antibiotics a few times a year. At a time when anti- biotic resistance threatens public health around the world, research shows that consuming cranberry juice daily can be a nutri- tional approach to reduc- ing symptomatic UTIs and, as a result, may be a useful way to decrease the worldwide use of antibiot- ics. So it seems cranberry juice is more than a re- freshing drink-it may also improve the quality of life for women who suffer from UTIs by reducing their trips to the doctor, their lab costs and antibi- otic use.

That’s a staggering statistic, espe- cially when you take into account the large number of cyberattacks that happen every day. The world is more connected than ever and people are constantly using smart- phones and other interconnected devices to find their news, use social media or stay in touch. There are numerous benefits of interconnectedness, but with it also comes cyberthreats people should be aware of. In 2004, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designated October as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month to raise aware- ness of cybersecurity issues. FBI findings suggest that millions of cyberattacks happen each day. Utah alone reported 20 million attempts per day last year. Connec- tion to public Wi-Fi networks could be partially to blame. Many of the features that make public Wi-Fi so appealing, like free and easy inter- net access without using data, are also attractive to hackers looking to steal personal information. A recent survey of 2,235 U.S. adults conducted by the Univer- sity of Phoenix suggests that the majority of people use public net- works despite the risks. A quarter of adults say they almost always use unsecure networks when away from home and more than half (52 percent) say the conve- nience of using public Wi-Fi out- weighs the risk. “People need to understand that everything you put online can be exposed when the network you’re using isn’t secure,” says Dan Konzen, University of Phoenix Col- lege of Information Systems & Technology campus chair. “Bank credentials, passwords and other personal information can be stolen when you use networks that are open to anyone.” The same survey suggests that people are unaware of the dangers of public Wi-Fi or simply don’t care.
