Welcome

W

ith summer’s arrival comes massive blue skies, refreshing ocean breezes, and sparkling seas; it’s a combination that makes living here so enjoyable and the envy of all who visit.

While we navigate each new day’s challenges, it’s invigorating to see improvements made to our infrastructure and public amenities. During the last couple of years, towns, villages, and our small cities have made significant enhancements to the visual aspects of our environment besides offering a wide range of opportunities to attract visitors.

During a recent conversation with a real estate broker, we learned that the lockdown in California and other states throughout the country has resulted in many to look to the coasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island as an 22 | JULY 2020 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

alternative to high-density metro living.

Those who have been guests of friends who already own secondary homes here have discovered our safe havens are an ideal choice for them and their families. The result: the real estate market is bubbling.

But, this isn’t necessarily true for all areas. While interest rates are at historic lows, inventory is somewhat thin, the most exquisite properties—with exceptional value—turn over as soon as they’re listed.

As odd as it may sound, we are in a dueling “buyers-sellers” market.

This month we decided to improve our look so we might better reflect the refined taste of our readership, and even though your letters stream in with congratulatory comments and marvelous accolades, we don’t believe in resting on our laurels.

We know you have relatively few choices when it comes to selecting a luxury living magazine to spend time with, and because

of this belief, we’ve decided to ease your pain and narrow it down to one—that would be us.

For July, we satiate your need for highquality photography, thoughtful and interesting writing, and a long list of topics matching your preferences. You’ve come to understand we cast a wide net in capturing content, and that’s because our readers are far from ordinary, and they set the standard by which we publish.

To remain relevant and inspiring, we concentrate on today and the future rather than repeating the past. Keeping a distance from narrowly focused themes allows us the flexibility to bring you news and commentary from the circles you’re familiar with and enjoy most.

How spectacular it is to be in the heart of the summer season and know things are going to improve with each and every day.

Enjoy the moment—all of them. H

LUCKI SCHOTZ

It’s peculiar.

One of the most stately mansions ever built on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean is an enigma.

The original home and property have always been admired—even revered, by those familiar with its history. They comprehend the wealth and privilege responsible for building such a glorious monument to success during the “Roaring-Twenties,” but also acknowledge its legacy of invention, exploration, and the sharing of good fortune with the community by its inhabitants.

The vast tract of land known as Round Hill has been considered one of the most desirable properties along the SouthCoast—dating back to 1652—when settlers of Plymouth split off and purchased prime acreage from Native American Chief, Massasoit. The sale included what is now known as New Bedford, Fairhaven, Acushnet, and Westport.

36 | JULY 2020 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

Home People and technology associated with Round Hill include: Hetty Green, the infamous “Witch of Wall Street;” Colonel Edward Howland Robinson Green (Ned), a man years ahead of his time, Bert and Pricilla Hill, who managed the Colonel’s airport; WMAF Radio; the Mayflower Blimp; the Charles W. Morgan; even Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

In the late ‘80s, real estate developer Robert M. Desmond began the initial conversion of the property into a luxury condominium complex that was to include “Mansion Units,” off-site homes, a nine-hole golf course, sandy beach, pool, and tennis courts.

Initially, the new project hobbled, locals knew about the exciting opportunity, but sales suffered; it wasn’t the level of living the market had an interest in purchasing.

Looking for a fresh start, real estate broker, Marianne MacDonald, who represented Round Hill, brought on an ad agency, Turner & Company, who recently opened an office on Smith Neck Road—directly across from the project. While enjoying distant views of the Mansion from a second-story office window, the agency’s creative director developed an advertising campaign that went right to the heart of marketing to an affluent demographic audience. Within weeks, “Round Hill” was being advertised in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, resulting in hundreds upon hundreds of leads, all with the intension of owning a fabulous piece of history.

Today, Round Hill continues on a journey. It boasts improved amenities, many more luxury free-standing homes, and exclusivity only found in an iconic landmark.

48 NORTH SHORE DRIVE, MANSION UNIT 11 / 2 BEDROOMS, 2 BATHS / $785,000. AND MANSION UNIT 14 / 3 BEDROOMS, 3 BATHS / $845,000 MAGGIE TOMKIEWICZ–TEAM MCM / MAGGIE@MILBURYRE.COM / 508.995.2444

The Mansion Units and Oceanside Homes, represented by Milbury & Company of South Dartmouth, Westport, and Cape Cod, offer a stunning level of elegance combined with comfort and versatility. Shingled, Nantucket Style residences nestled along the historic setting possess charm and grace.

Private, with unmatched common areas offering acres of natural growth in combination with manicured landscapes and a host of amenities, create masterful living spaces and a luxury lifestyle.

Residents come from around the country to share eclectic pursuits and are pleased to find their expectations exceeded when it comes to personal choices and in common interests.

38 | JULY 2020 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

Home As a weekend vacation home, primary residence, or a summer-long retreat, each property has its own personality.

Round Hill is considered by many to be the most exclusive residential properties in New England. With its private beaches, tennis, and golf, easy access to Padanaram Harbor, and extraordinary views of boat traffic and the Elizabeth Islands, time spent at the estate is unforgettable.

The expansive green lawn leading down to the shore where peace, quiet, and an ocean breeze is a gift of life; the single pleasure of reading a book will become a ritual that only a few will experience, but cherish.

The gated community feels secure and contained, but not so separated from the outside world that you feel isolated. When desired, Round Hill can be socially active and exciting.

Milbury & Company have five homes for your review and invite you to contact them for a private showing of the property you find most enchanting.

The representative agency and their brokers are sensitive to health precautions requested by officials and mandates ordered by the state. Rest assured, your health and safety are a priority to all associates. They will keep you safe by every means possible.

A HOT REAL ESTATE MARKET DRIVES AGENCY EXPANSION

nventories Decline, Market Heats Up, Brokers Unable to Return Calls. These are a few of the headlines found by those searching for a primary or secondary home.

Of course, much depends on the location of interest; nevertheless, the escape from cities and highly dense populated areas are driving consumers to the pristine farms, fields, and villages of the SouthCoast and coastal Rhode Island.

It’s no surprise to the local real estate market, that as soon as choice properties 44 | JULY 2020 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

are listed, and before they make it to Multiple Listing Service (MLS), full-price offers stream into brokers, sometimes causing a bidding frenzy from buyers around the country.

The best homes with exceptional amenities are not always visited by potential buyers. At specific price points, those having a serious interest in moving to the region aren’t focused on the current condition of their purchase. Instead, they’re interested in a property’s potential after renovations and improvements.

Demand for luxury living and vast amounts of space never dies; in fact, it barely shows its age. Generation after generation gravitates to places where they can start a family and create a safe and satisfying lifestyle. They are on the lookout for privacy and stress free occupancy.

Since COVID-19 came to our shores, followed by lockdowns and mandatory isolation, the itch that needs soothing is showing in select counties in New England; as families retreat from cities and crowded suburbs. Top agents are

noticing an exodus from high-rise condos and traditional office settings, to relaxing and all-inclusive home environments.

Compounding the interest to abandon metro areas has been the lax enforcement of penal codes, and an increase in civil unrest. It’s doubtful that peaceful, public protests, contribute to a desire to leave areas of culture; but when a perfect storm of violence and discourse begins to gather strength and ridiculous tax burdens are packed on, a beachfront property begins to look like a bargain.

No one knows more about today’s buyers than Broker/Owner Will Milbury of Milbury & Company of South Dartmouth—and soon to be, Westport, Massachusetts.

“Am I insane to be opening a new office during a pandemic?” Milbury asked us during our interview. While it’s a bold move and a challenge, he acknowledged that when the opportunity came about, “…everything fell into place.”

Milbury may be called crazy or, at the very least, a risk-taker for opening another office at this time. Still, he is conscious that he needs to keep up with demand and understands what customers are looking for in today’s market.

“Our [South Dartmouth] office has been inundated with buyers seeking refuge on the SouthCoast,” Milbury explained. Those who know his team of agents from the Elm Street location agree the company has a significant work-history in Westport and has sold a considerable number of homes since the ‘80s.

For over 40 years, Milbury has built a brand based on servicing a discerning clientele from around the world. He hasn’t lost his boyish charm from his days on Beacon Hill and in the Back Bay or his quest for excitement found during his annual trek to Wellington, Florida, where he follows equestrian sports while socializing with stars and celebrities.

Milbury’s insights come from a confidential list of international movers and shakers at the highest levels of power and influence. He shared his observations with us when he says, “People are tired of the cities, they come to the coast and see how much more their money can buy.”

Once they compare the lifestyle to what they currently experience, the rhetorical question is simple: “Who doesn’t want to live here?”

As a leading real estate professional, Milbury interacts with the other top agencies in the northeast corridor and recognizes that working together has been the secret behind everyone’s success. “We look at the market as a whole; no one owns it but, we all have a responsibility to the communities we serve, and its because we value good relationships with other offices, our business flourishes,” he added.

The new office was the former home of the Westport Federal Credit Union, which shared the parking area of Lee’s Market on Main Road. Centrally located

to premier properties in the deepest parts of South Dartmouth, Westport, Little Compton, and Tiverton, Milbury & Company will be able to expand their exclusive brand by offering greater exposure to sellers and vast new inventory to buyers.

Milbury’s business’ sweet spot is his mix of clients. He has those looking for an over-the-top primary residence where they can set up roots and enjoy the amenities only ocean-front communities offer and exclusive buyers who may use their palatial compound a couple of weeks during the summer—but insists on anonymity and confidentiality.

While most individuals would be readying for retirement, from our conversation with Milbury, he seems to be warming up for another adventure and to continue the thrill of the hunt—for a new listing—of course. H Milbury Company/Westport is located at 790 Main Road, Westport, Massachusetts.

ocial distancing, protesting, and other stressors of daily life are some of the reasons we don’t see relief when it’s all around us.

Living on the coast with an abundance of sun, wind, and water, means we have what dreams are made of, and depending on your motivation and ingenuity, you can harness them for your health and enjoyment for a small investment.

These water, sports don’t involve petroleum, you don’t need a trust fund to purchase equipment, or be a star athlete; basically, you select the apparatus of choice, take a lesson or two, and then it’s practice makes perfect.

approaching the dilemma of being social, getting exercise, and enjoying the great outdoors.

CHOOSE YOUR POISON—PADDLEBOARD, SURFBOARD, KAYAK, OR CANOE?

With minimal effort, you can quickly figure out the amount of stamina needed to become proficient with the watercraft of your choice. Learning the necessary skills of operation is easy, and through a graduated learning curve, you won’t feel pressured to reach outside your comfort zone to have fun.

Start slowly and work your way up. At the same time, consider your objectives; do you seek inner peace, camaraderie, are you looking for a date, an adrenaline rush, or to get buffed? These goals will help you decide where to begin and likely end up.

Outdoors

BE SOCIAL—STAY DISTANT

Few sports or activities intrinsically allow space to exist between participants. Personal contact sports are out of fashion—at least for now—and so, these self-initiated activities mean you can fully participate while chatting with a friend and still maintaining a safe distance.

THE SUN’S OKAY—BUT WEAR PROTECTION

Sorry to sound like your mom, but the strength of UV waves aren’t what they used to be; regardless of the excuses you have for not wearing sunscreen, its time to get a tube of SPF 50-70, and lather it on. Not doing so is so mid-century.

SHAPE UP—FORGET THE DIETS

Get out on the water multiple times a week. Carrying equipment, paddling, swimming, or racing burns calories. The endurance, balance, and core strength you build while working out translates into a healthier body and better coordination.

Plus, filling your lungs with fresh air has a myriad of benefits.

We know it hasn’t been easy; phone dates, Zoom encounters, and less than satisfying social interactions probably have you climbing the walls—so much—you embarrassingly collected phone numbers at your last protest. Seize this opportunity to get out of the house. There are plenty of locations to rent water sports equipment. And, without a doubt, you’ll find someone in a similar position.

TOUCHING YOUR SOUL—

Some practice yoga, while others find serenity when paddling among nature. The coastline has plenty of marshes and secluded ponds offering peaceful meditation. Quiet time is more difficult to find, so when capturing your peace, you can enjoy the benefits of self-reflection and the chance to calm the senses.

CHALLENGE NATURE—

If you long for exhilaration, then the coast of Newport is for you. Most days, the waves gently brush the shore, but if a nor’easter comes along, be ready to do battle with white water and pounding surf, it’s you against the tide.

WORDS OF WISDOM—

It doesn’t matter how well you swim, or how brave you are; safety around water is vital. Be sure to leave a float-plan with a responsible person. Let them know your destination, launching point, time table, and phone number. Remind them that if they don’t hear from you according to the plan, they should reach out and confirm your status.

Dinner is Served

THE BEST NEW RESTAURANT MAY BE CLOSER THAN YOU THINK

BY JAMES HOLDEN

hen I realized my two favorite summer pastimes would be void of participation in 2020, I began to think about possible solutions. Surely, I don’t need a project to keep me busy, but I can’t imaging cozying up to an asphalt parking lot with a group of friends to enjoy a couple of bottles of Château Monbousquet St.–Emilion 2015, and a feast of farm-fresh produce complemented by freu de mere from local waters.

62 | JULY 2020 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

Compounding my distress is to know the evening entertainment would be passing traffic and the noise it creates. The thought of these essential social activities being reduced to a carnival atmosphere has placed a damper on my enthusiasm for summer dining.

Understand, I don’t blame restauranteurs; my heart goes out to all of them, they’ve had their livelihoods ripped away.

I’ve watched them besieged with the ineffective option of providing takeout orders, only to be handcuffed by this next

phase of opening. Restaurants are being forced to provide a safe environment while attempting to salvage their businesses with a substantially reduced volume of sales.

For many restaurants, adhering to these new restrictions isn’t a choice; it is a painful necessity, less they close their doors forever.

After careful consideration, the desire to extend a life-ring to independent chefs and kitchens, and plant a seed in the minds of consumers, I offer a viable alternative to the less than attractive option of “parking lot dining.”

Looking back over the last couple of years, I realized my most memorable experiences of combining food and friends came from the times I attended large dinner parties— primarily—when held outside under the stars. These incredible al fresco dinners consisted of 10 to 12 people—some included old-friends, others with new acquaintances. Each lasted a minimum of three hours, included a cocktail reception with light appetizers and multiple courses. A special dessert was often the highlight of the evening.

Lights were set high above the table; soft music played in the background, and servers delivered a customized menu to our delight. Wine and Champagne freely poured as well, stimulating conversations; it was always a struggle to leave.

These events were held at private homes, although a few took place at historic Inns, which specialized in private affairs. Some were sponsored, others promoted a cause, and a few happened to be from social networks celebrating the season.

I recall the secret which made these dinners a success; the event locations were stunning, and their themes nicely designed. Usually sophisticated, table settings included linen, candlelight, and crystal. Guests were smartly—but comfortably—dressed, as were the servers—who had been wisely trained and had measurable experience in fine dining.

This combination of factors made each dinner a grand affair.

With this in mind, I realized the salvation for those in food service could very well be a shift to luxury catering. This indemand service could provide; appropriate tableware, portable

ovens, and grills (although the use of a home’s kitchen comes in handy), and the knowledge their staff would jump at this opportunity because the payout is generally higher and a tip is guaranteed.

Now, this is not to be confused with large-scale events where people rush back and forth with the goal of cook-serve-cleanleave; no, this type of dining is where the ease and relaxation of going out are brought to your home.

Adding to all guest’s safety is less exposure to the public, distancing can be organized through seating arrangements, the menu is preplanned, and you’re able to control the size of the group (less is better).

Controls can be put into place by lessening exposure to the staff through their use of PPE, and while eating outdoors, the evening air will move any vaporized organisms that might arrive unannounced.

As for the issue of payment, it can be arranged before the event, and clean up is efficiently handled by the provider.

By my calculations, if 5-6 couples host an equal number of soirees over a few months, each would effectively be responsible for a single event, with all remaining dinners complimentary.

But what makes this arrangement unique, is the variety and creativity of each dinner. With so many choices, each themed event will build lasting friendships, memories, and are never dull—believe me when I tell you this.

The concept isn’t for everyone, although it functions quite effectively, even when modified. Its basis is to control the dining experience through locations where you feel safe while lessening exposure to public spaces.

This creative form of dining isn’t revolutionary; many friends and family have attended these types of affairs over the years. My purpose of re-introducing the notion of at-home entertaining is so more people will consider helping their local business community and heighten their summer fun.

Stay safe. H

Eating Covid-19

HOW DIET COULD AFFECT YOUR RISK FOR DISEASE

BY ROB SAINT LAURENT, M.Ed.

W

hile new cases of COVID-19 are on the decline in selected states, other areas are reporting localized outbreaks. Also troubling is the potential for resurgence in the fall—coupled with the start of the flu season.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data shows that people of all ages with underlying health conditions, especially if unaddressed, may be at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19. These underlying illnesses include chronic lung disease and moderate-to-severe asthma; serious heart conditions; the immune-compromised (example, people undergoing cancer treatment); severe obesity (body mass index/BMI of 40 or greater); type 2 diabetes; end-stage kidney disease; and liver disease.1 Additionally, high blood pressure (hypertension) appears to be a top underlying condition contributing to COVID-19 deaths in US communities.2 68 | JULY 2020 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

Besides donning PPE and keeping your distance, it’s sensical to ask what role nutrition might play in reducing the risk of serious disease from infection with the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), particularly for those over age 65 who are already living with, or on the threshold of, chronic illness.

FOOD AND INFLAMMATION

Inflammation isn’t inherently bad.

Acute inflammation is the body’s response to acute injury in which cytokines signal the immune system to repair damaged tissue, as well as defend against foreign bodies such as viruses.

But when inflammation continues over time or happens where and when it isn’t needed, the process can become detrimental.

When a burst of white blood cells rush toward a perceived threat that may not exist, they may eventually attack healthy organs and tissues.3 (There have been recent reports of a “cytokine storm” being linked to severe COVID-19.)

Living Well There is evidence that chronic low-grade inflammation throughout the body (systemic) is associated with the development of diseases such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. For example, it is theorized that the buildup of inflammatory cells in blood vessels could eventually damage tissue and cause plaque formation. There is also evidence that poor diet significantly affects cytokine levels and chronic inflammation through changes in gut microbiota, revealed by inflammatory blood markers like C-reactive protein (though most reactive markers are more reflective of acute versus chronic inflammation).4, 5 It is estimated that as much as 60 percent of all chronic diseases could be prevented by healthy eating choices and lifestyle behaviors.6 A traditional Mediterranean-style diet is the most researched diet in the world. It has been shown useful for reducing inflammation, conferring protection against many conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. “Traditional” meaning it is centered on whole versus processed foods, and shared with family/friends (i.e., eaten slowly). The diet focuses on fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and legumes; nuts, seeds, and olive oil for fats (the diet is 30-50 percent fat); fish, white meat, eggs, fermented dairy (yogurt, cheese); small amounts of desserts; and red and processed meat.6 Researchers believe it is the overall diet that reduces inflammation and not any one aspect.

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, is another practical eating approach, particularly in light of hypertension and COVID-19. Aimed at those who need to reduce blood pressure, the diet is similar to the Mediterranean, style emphasizing plant-based foods (vegetables, fruits, legumes) and low-fat dairy, and moderate whole grains, fish, poultry, and nuts. The diet is designed to reduce sodium intake while increasing blood pressure moderating foods high in potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Over time, this eating approach can reduce systolic blood pressure by as much as 14 points.7 FOOD AND IMMUNITY

Can we fortify our immune system against foreign bodies like coronavirus through diet?

Harvard Health says that because the immune system is a “system” that requires “balance and harmony,” the jury is still out as to whether we can enhance it. “Which cells should you boost, and to what number? No one knows how many cells or what the best mix of cells the immune system needs to function at its optimum level.”9 Nevertheless, they say healthy eating and other factors still play a vital role in maintaining that balance. It’s well established that malnourished people are more susceptible to

ANTI- VS. PRO-INFLAMMATORY EATING

5, 6, 8

Anti-Inflammatory Eating

Pro-Inflammatory Eating

Fruits and Vegetables (4-5 cups/day) (cherries, sweet potato, broccoli, dark leafy greens, blueberries, olives, peppers, cabbage, pineapple, bananas, oranges, etc.)

Trans fats (partially hydrogenated oils found in baked goods such as cookies, pie crusts, and frozen pizza, or fried foods such as fries and donuts)

Omega-3 essential fatty acids (2-3 servings/week) (preferably from fatty cold-water fishes such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, or 2-4 grams/day of fish oil) (example plant-based sources include walnuts and flaxseed)

Refined carbohydrates (white bread, bagels, and English muffins, instant and white rice, sweetened cereals, candy, baked goods/snacks, soda, fruit juice, etc.) (a low-glycemic diet is instead recommended)

Lower omega-6 essential fatty acid intake ( processed and packaged foods made with seed oils such as cottonseed and sunflower) (ratio of omega-6: omega-3 should be 2-3:1 vs. current US average of 14:1)

Refined vegetable oils (from seeds such as soybean, sunflower, safflower, corn, and cottonseed which are high in omega-6 fats and may contain trans fats)

Lean meats, cutting visible fat from beef, chicken, etc.

Processed meats (hot dogs, deli meats, bacon, sausages, etc.)

Monounsaturated omega-9 fats (olive oil and avocado)

Saturated fats found in dairy products

Reduced-fat dairy while opting for fermented dairy such as yogurt.

Many nutritionists advise keeping saturated fats to no more than 10% of total daily caloric intake Fiber (32 grams/day) (from legumes such as beans and peas, whole grains such as brown rice and oatmeal, nuts, fruits and vegetables, etc.)

Excessive alcohol consumption

Protein (plant-based, as from beans and rice, or from grass-fed meat or wild-caught fish) Herbs and Spices (ginger, turmeric, cloves, cinnamon, green and black teas) Magnesium supplementation may be advisable (320 mg/day women, 420 mg/day men)

Intimacy

R E-WR ITING

History

BY ANDREW AARON, LICSW

72 | JULY 2020 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

A

n upsetting moment was worsened when James’ wife Katey announced their marriage had never been right. The unfortunate news was ignited when her anger was sparked by his forgetfulness—a flaw he admits to—and has been a re-occurring irritant during their 15 year marriage.

James had believed his marriage was on good terms, and easily recalls dozens of pleasurable moments throughout the years; this included Katey’s many expressions of happiness and love.

Yet, in this painful moment, when he challenged her to site examples to show that she was wrong, she abruptly dismissed his question with a broadbrush comment, “I was just faking it.”

James felt despair; it was as if the floor had just fallen out from beneath his feet.

Upon reflection, the more he thought about the conflict, the more he believed that his wife was wrong; either she had to be incorrect, or he concluded, she was crazy.

James’ inner attitude interfered with his being open and close to his wife, and undoubtedly, in her pain of upset, Katey closed herself off to a significant part of the past through denial and minimization.

This example is for many couples, a dangerous place to inhabit. It is littered with pain-laden unresolved issues. When a partner experiences intense feelings, they view the past through emotions rather than logic.

Past intense emotional sentiments can cause the recall of events to be altered, eliminated, or recreated, generating more distorted memories.

Each partner will subjectively apply distortions of past events; they will be remembered differently by each of

them. It is because of this inaccurate accounting of past events partners are quickly sucked into an escalating debate regarding the accuracy of their recall.

For couples with accumulated resentment, such a debate may easily touch off volatile and hurtful arguments.

To some degree, we are all historical revisionists. It is an irrational part of

being human, which makes our love relationships illogical. Our tendency to value intellect and order causes us to erroneously flag recollection as an opportunity for correction. A partner who is a serial revisionist is vulnerable to a reputation of being unreasonable and inaccurate. And, if the label sticks, he or she will have diminished status, which reduces the satisfaction of the relationship.

HELP IS AVAILABLE. Love relationships are emotional connections; feeling understood is achieved through the acknowledgment of a partner’s feelings and reflecting them in a way that shows they have been received. Emotion is the language

and the currency of relating, and when moments of emotional intensity ramp up, the past becomes distorted, and two potential reactions diverge. Couples will either focus on the distortion or attend to the pain responsible for the misunderstanding. If compassionately attending to the painful feelings presented, couples can immediately strengthen both their connection and the relationship. However, taking the wrong path—by correcting the partner’s journey into the past—usually results in explosive conflict and complete disconnect.

The present is the place where couples best connect. They are empowered to resolve their problems and to heal.

They are choosing to stay focused on the here and now and take advantage of the possibilities of bonding by deepening the relationship connection.

Conversely, the past does not possess such valuable potential; it is challenging to accomplish emotional healing when a distorted history is used to build a case of past failures. Defending ourselves win little reward and only add heightened hostility and more significant disconnection during a heightened emotional state. It is by accepting the partner’s pain that we learn how understanding and healing will come to fruition.

The secret of a loving relationship is the appreciation of the whole partner, to enjoy their best qualities, as well as having an appreciation of their frustrating idiosyncrasies. If we reject or select only some aspects of our partner’s personalities, we ensure the relationship will be more like a battlefield than one of love and caring.

a communicable disease, though a causal relationship between malnutrition and increased susceptibility to infectious disease, they say, has yet to be elucidated. There is some animal research that deficiency in zinc, selenium, iron, copper, folic acid, and vitamins A, B6, C, and E affects immunity. However, its impact on animal health and how this applies to humans is less clear.

A systematic review of 82 studies suggests that 1-2 grams/ day of vitamin C, 400 IU/day of vitamin D, zinc supplements/ lozenges within 24 hours of symptoms onset, and echinacea (2,400 mg/day over four months) may be effective at preventing and reducing the intensity of common colds. According to the researchers, the evidence is “so interesting that common cold patients may be encouraged to try them for preventing and treating their colds,” though more research is needed.10

Harvard scientists aren’t against taking a daily multiple vitamin/mineral supplement, especially for people averse to eating a healthy diet, though they advise against mega doses.

But they frown on taking supplements in an attempt to boost immunity.

“Demonstrating whether an herb—or any substance, for that matter—can enhance immunity is, as yet, a highly complicated matter. Scientists don’t know, for example, whether an herb that seems to raise the levels of antibodies in the blood is actually doing anything beneficial for overall immunity.”

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY LIVING

Besides eating a colorful and balanced diet, health experts echo a familiar mantra: regular physical activity, reducing psychosocial stress, 7-9 hours of sound sleep, controlling weight, and spending time with loved ones. Additionally, watching for known environmental and industrial toxins that can trigger inflammation is advisable.5, 6 With more time spent at home these days, eating healthier or increasing, physical activity may be more challenging. Generally, it takes 21 days to form a habit and 90 days to make it a lifestyle.
