Taub also studies ways to improve the
treatment of childhood leukemia. Down
syndrome patients have an increased risk
of developing leukemia, and he oversaw a
national study of children with Down syn-
drome and acute myeloid leukemia who
achieved exceptionally high cure rates of
approximately 90 percent.
His choice of pediatric hematology/oncol-
ogy as a specialty reflected his own experi-
ence as a teenager diagnosed with Hodgkin's
disease, a form of cancer. He was treated at
Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit
and then became interested in medicine.
A Windsor native, Taub graduated from
medical school at the University of Western
Ontario and completed a pediatric residency
at CHM, followed by a fellowship in pediatric
hematology/oncology in 1994. Today he is
CHM division chief of oncology and a pro-
fessor of pediatrics at Wayne State University.
"Children's Hospital of Michigan is a
leader in pediatric health care, not only for
Metropolitan Detroit but for the entire state,
and is recognized as a national leader in
developing new, more effective cancer thera-
pies and conducting innovative research:' he
said. "This is why our clinical opinions are
frequently sought out by other physicians
from around the country and even over-
seas, and physicians from throughout the
U.S. come to train at Children's Hospital to
become specialists:'
The family connection with CHM
extends to his niece, Elana Ackerman. She
was treated for leukemia there and Taub
was one of her physicians. She is now a
pediatric resident at the hospital.
Taub and his wife have three daugh-
ters and live in Birmingham. They are
members of Temple Beth El in Bloomfield
Township.

t's officially spring. Time to put
down the tablets and pick up
the tennis shoes. The American
Heart Association is encouraging all
Michiganders to use the longer days
and warmer temps as an opportunity
to increase their physical activity for
Physical Activity Month.
Physical activity is one of the most
beneficial and easiest things you can
do for your health and remains a key
component to preventing heart dis-
ease and stroke — the No. 1 and No. 5
killers. The best thing about physical
activity is that it's anything that makes
you move your body and burn calories.
This includes walking, swimming,
stretching, playing sports or even
climbing the stairs.
To improve overall cardiovascular
health, the association recommends at
least 30 minutes per day of moderate
activity, five times a week or 75 min-
utes per week of vigorous activity (or a
combination of moderate and vigorous
activity). This, along with moderate
muscle strengthening activities at least
two days per week can provide addi-
tional health benefits.
For those in need of lowering their
blood pressure or cholesterol, the
association recommends 40 minutes
of aerobic exercise of moderate to vig-
orous intensity three to four times a
week to lower the risk for heart attack
and stroke.
Any physical activity is better than
none. Even breaking your activity up
into smaller increments of three 10-
minute workouts a day or two 15-min-
ute walks on your breaks at work will
count toward your overall goal — 150
minutes a week. The increase in activ-
ity will lead to immediate health bene-
fits like boosting your mental wellness,
improving circulation and even boost-
ing your energy levels.
Regular moderate exercise like brisk
walking has other health benefits as
well such as:
• Helps in the battle to quit smoking.
• Helps manage stress.
• Releases tension.
• Increases muscle strength and abil-
ity to do other physical activities.
• Reduces stroke risk.
