Gaelic Football & Hurling Leagues The purpose of the Memphis Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club is to bring together everyone in the Memphis community to promote the Irish sports of hurling and Gaelic football.

Dermot Murray, originally from Ireland, is the Club President.

Gaelic football and hurling are the most popular sports in Ireland (far more than soccer or rugby) and are played by Irish and non-Irish people all over the world. Think of Gaelic football as a cross between soccer and basketball, and hurling as a cross between field hockey and lacrosse. The North American GAA has over 130 adult and youth clubs across the USA, and the goal of the Memphis GAA club to be included in the Southeast division, along with teams from Nashville, Atlanta, and New Orleans, among others.

6

The club is hosting a co-ed adult Spring 2017 “pub league” for Gaelic football from March through May, with four teams sponsored by The Brass Door (Madison Ave), Celtic Crossing (Cooper Young), The Majestic Grille (South Main St.), and Murphy’s Bar (Madison Ave). No previous experience or special equipment is necessary to sign-up for the league. All will be provided by the club (including training on how to play both sports).

For more information, please visit www.memphisgaa.com or join the club’s Facebook group page at www.facebook.com/groups/MemphisGAA/ (or search for “Memphis GAA” in FB). You can also email MemphisGAA@gmail.com with specific questions.

LIVING HEALTHY

By Paul Bierman, M.D.

A Healthier Colon for a Healthier Life March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month WHY COLON HEALTH IS CRITICAL The digestive system is one of the your body’s most integral systems. Your colon is not only responsible for helping to digest food, but it is crucial for eliminating chemical and physical waste along with toxins and preservatives.

Your kidneys and liver also help alongside your colon to eliminate these harmful toxins.

Your colon can be affected by all different conditions such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, or worst case, colon cancer. Diet and lifestyle modifications can help in many cases, but special medications and procedures are needed for others.

THE WEIGHT CONNECTION According to the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society, the link between diet, weight, exercise, and colorectal cancer are some of the strongest for any type of cancer. Estimates are that 50-75 percent of colorectal cancer can be prevented through lifestyle and dietary changes, specifically healthy eating. Fewer than 10 percent of all colorectal cancers are hereditary, which is why good nutrition is a critical aspect of good colon health.

DIET DO’S AND DON’TS 1. Limit red meat and steer clear of processed meats.

2. S tay away from simple sugars. Studies have shown that people with Crohn’s and colitis fare better on low or no-sugar diets.

3. Increase your fiber intake.

4. D rink milk. Calcium and vitamin D may be associated with a decreased risk of colorectal cancer. Other sources of calcium include leafy greens like spinach, kale, and collard greens.

5. E at whole grains like barley, quinoa, whole wheat flour, wild and brown rice, and oatmeal.

MAKE COLON SCREENING A PRIORITY The most important way to prevent colon cancer is with a screening colonoscopy. When detected early, up to 95 percent of colorectal cancers are completely curable. Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death among men and women combined. If you are 50 or older, schedule your colonoscopy today! It can save your life…

LIVING HEALTHY

By Amber Sam Thompson

Keeping Your Colon Clean Often going unnoticed, the colon may have the greatest impact on beauty, health, and wellness. The colon is not just a sophisticated food processor. It contains the largest component of the immune system and is where most serotonin, the feel good hormone, is made.

Now being called the “second brain,” the colon contains more nerve cells and connections than the brain, and it includes trillions of bacteria (more than the number of cells in the rest of the body) that play a vital role in providing essential nutrients, tuning the immune system, and even supporting the brain in creating your mood. While not the sexiest of subjects, natural colon care is a great way to assist weight regulation, improve your mood, and create glowing skin that begins within.

Fortify, Flush, Feed FORTIFY: There is a war going on in your colon between bacteria. Power up your pro flora, or good bacteria, by taking a daily probiotic. Choose probiotic formulas that contain a large number of different bacteria. Colon Care by Garden of Life has 33 different strains of probiotics as well as prebiotics. Adding fermented foods, like kimchi and sauerkraut, or fermented teas, like kombucha, to your diet boosts your battalions to keep bacteria balanced in your favor.

FLUSH: Americans are full of it, literally housing 5-40 pounds of fecal matter in the colon. Colon hydrotherapy, or colonics, can quickly clear the colon by removing 3-5 bowel movements per treatment. Regular colon cleansing removes poor bacteria, mucus, and excess debris to offer an ideal environment for good bacteria to thrive, help the body assimilate electrolyte minerals, boost natural immunity, and improve mood regulation. Begin again with three colon cleansing sessions in three weeks, then monthly for maintenance.

FEED: Food is the greatest medicine. Many herbs and spices can kill harmful bacteria in the intestines and care for the colon, naturally. Along with fermented foods, pumpkin seeds, almonds, radishes, and cabbage are great intestinal healers. Consider adopting a plant-based diet. Rich in natural enzymes, fruits and veggies are easier for the body to assimilate and offer the fiber your colon needs to eliminate properly.

Train your Gut Instinct In a fast paced culture, many people create poor potty habits by “holding it” or not eliminating routinely. Over time, that teaches the colon to “wait,” which can result in a lazy colon. Create an elimination routine to retrain the colon to evacuate properly. I recommend every bathroom have the Squatty Potty to align the colon for proper evacuation. Sit on the toilet with your feet on the stool about the same time every day. Do not force movement.

Instead offer a relaxing environment that offers the mind and body plenty of room to go with the flow. First thing in the morning and after meals are ideal times to encourage elimination for proper colon care.

The Dentist Who Does it All

By Robin Beaudoin Photos by Tindall Farmer.

Thirty-two-year-old Kathryn Sneed, of Sneed Dental Arts in Collierville and Cordova, is something of a double major in life. The awardwinning dental specialist with two practices is also an accomplished fitness instructor with multiple certifications, including Pilates and Barre. Last year she was the second female dental specialist to ever receive the Fellowship Award from the Midwest Implant Institute, the oldest implant training center in the world. With three children, two jobs, and cardiologist husband Darrell Sneed, she credits nutrition and fitness as the cement holding the facets of her life in place.

Leading two dental practices, teaching a weekly cycle class, and frequently subbing at others, Kathryn relies on nutrition and exercise to be the balance between family and business. Her simple beauty regimen is hydration, fruits and veggies, little to no sugar, and plenty of sleep. She prefers natural mineral makeup, coconut oil as moisturizer, and tea tree face wash. “So much of

the ability to maintain dental and physical health is what you put in your body. That’s one of the main parts to overall health. Exercise is a gift to yourself, not a punishment. It’s the best thing you can do for every element of your life. Health and fitness are major variables in balancing so much.

Without exercise, I couldn’t!”

In college, Kathryn developed back pain and numbness in her leg. Her physician suggested it could be Multiple Sclerosis. “I didn’t want to pursue that diagnosis, so I started Pilates. From proper alignment and exercise, the pain and numbness subsided,” she says. Seeing the value of fitness, she became certified as an instructor.

“I saw the benefit for myself and wanted that for other people. I taught in college and all around where I went to school.”

In dental school she owned her own private Pilates business near the University of Kentucky, where she met her husband of 12 years. She supported herself financially and emotionally through fitness. “It was my outlet. I had connections outside of the dental school world that gave me stress relief and companionship outside that building,” Kathryn notes. After medical school, Kathryn served as faculty at the MUSC College of Dentistry in Charleston, S.C., where she also trained with one of the Pure Barre founders. From there she opened a Barre studio of her own.

The couple continued their shared passion for fitness when they brought their medical practices to Memphis in 2011. She adds, “Our mutual enjoyment of fitness drew us together. My husband was a competitive bodybuilder. We were in the same medical school, same gym, and same church. We trained for half marathons and cycled together.”

The couple’s fitness regime includes their three children: Harrison-7, Addilyn-5, and Coleman-3.

They know she needs her daily gym time.

“They’ve been taught since day one this is what mommy does. You can either join or not—and they love to join in.” Outside of exercising with mom and dad at home, the children play soccer, basketball, and do gymnastics. “My oldest has just now gotten to the stage of being able to really ride his bike for some period of time. While he rides, I run with our two boxers behind him.”

I said to my running partner, “Who drives to the park to lie in a field and watch the sunrise?” to which he replied, “They’re probably wondering who comes to the park to run up and down a hill over and over…”

Good point.

Every runner should find the nearest hill to run and repeat for more strength, power, and speed.

It’s the perfect workout for those who want to continue growing during the offseason and improve speed and mechanics, while decreasing injury risk.

Frank Shorter, a famous American runner who won the gold medal in the marathon in the 1972 Olympics, says “Hills are speed work in disguise.”

Running up a hill over and over again builds strength and power because in these short bursts of effort, several muscle groups fire at once, increasing blood volume to large muscles as well as building muscular endurance.

Enhancements in breathing, posture, and efficiency help improve overall running economy.

And there’s always less injury risk involved in hill workouts compared to more specific speed work.

At Fleet Feet Memphis, Andrew Chumney directs the training program and the Thursday Night Speed Workouts. He incorporates hills into the training for two important reasons: to build

strength and mechanics before a season of more specific speed work in order to reduce injury risk and to prevent mental burnout through a workout that is beneficial, yet completely arbitrary. It allows people to come out, run hard, and get in a good workout without the stress of having to hit certain splits. Having a strength/ base phase between long build-ups is just as important mentally as it is physically.

Find your nearest hill and discover the speed and strength that lie within it and yourself. Come out to Fleet Feet on Thursday nights at 6 p.m. for all kinds of speed work—track workouts, long intervals, and of course, hills. Andrew and our staff will be on hand to answer any questions and to guide you towards a faster, stronger you.

LIFT WEIGHTS TO RUN FASTER

By David Queck When you think of a distance runner, odds are big muscles and bench presses don’t come to mind. Weight training has had a cloudy stigma in the distance running community for quite some time, but as studies have shown, lifting weights may be the right ingredient to improve running times, reduce injury risk, and help lean up.

As a coach, the biggest question people ask is what they should do at the gym. Too often people go around and around the machine area until they get bored or dizzy. When strength training for distance running, a great place to start is looking at basic human movements: push, pull, stand up, and sit down. This may seem mundane or even too basic, but the importance of these movements will help develop a solid foundation to build on.

Studies have shown working out in a periodized weight-training regimen, instead of just doing a few exercises you feel comfortable with, improves 3k and 5k times in trained and untrained runners.1 Foundational movements like back squats, dumbbell lunges, pull ups, bench presses, and shoulder

presses build strength. When structured in a periodized manner, you can expect to see a lot of changes.

Periodized workouts are basically separate yet sequenced training phases, or cycled and staged workouts.2 Studies have shown that runners who participate in a periodized weight-lifting plan can expect to see an increase in anaerobic power, force production, and improved force development rate with little to no negative change in VO2 Max. This means that your running economy and ground contact time will improve, as will road race times.

These studies have used a high-load, low repetition model for their subjects3, breaking the misnomer that endurance athletes can’t or shouldn’t lift heavily or explosively.

A basic periodization model has four phases: foundational strength and endurance, hypertrophy (promoting muscle growth), strength, and a power phase (always followed by a week of active rest). Here is a sample of what a 14-20 week program would look like:

After discussing a plan with a certified professional, it would be wise to start out two days per week for the untrained runner, moving to a possible three day per week scenario outside of your competition cycle.

Besides improving your race time, strength training strengthens bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles to help withstand the impact of running.4 Strength training might just help you find the ability to channel your inner Rocky Balboa and sprint up a hill or dramatically shadowbox at the top of the stairs at Tom Lee Park.

CAREER: Orthopaedic Surgeon at Memphis Shoulder and Orthopaedics

VICE: A good Old Fashioned

SPORT: Running

PERSONAL MOTTO: It’s much less painful to maintain (fitness) than it is to regain it.

FAMILY: Parents: Lionel and Angie; Siblings: Lamont, Jackie, and Austin.

MOST RECENT WW EVENT: Surf City Half Marathon in Huntington Beach, CA FAVORITE FITNESS ACCOMPLISHMENT: Completing my first half marathon, the San Antonio Rock n Roll in December. My goal was to not stop the entire race. Leading up to it, I had some knee trouble and wasn’t able to train much, so I was a little nervous that I would have to walk.

However, I ended up finishing the race without stopping. Those last three miles were the hardest I’ve ever pushed myself in an athletic event. It took every bit of will to keep going in the pouring rain, but it made it that much sweeter crossing the finish line.

I ❤ RUNNING: It’s very relaxing to run outside and get lost in music/books while taking in the sights around town. I also run with my sister, and it’s a great bonding activity.

FITNESS MOTIVATION: My initial motivation when I started working out again was to fit into my clothing, which still motivate me to a certain extent.

But I’m also motivated because I want to set good habits so that I can be active and healthy as I get older.

CROSS-TRAIN: I recently started a total body strength/cardio class at the downtown YMCA. Those two days a week are torture, but our instructor and the others in the class have been great motivation to continue, so I can one day be as fit as them. They are the true weekend warriors.

WW MUST-HAVE’S: Saucony Triumph Iso3 Shoes, Garmin Forerunner 235 watch BUCKET LIST: I would love to go on the Four Seasons world culinary tour.

IF YOU COULD HAVE DINNER WITH ANYONE FAMOUS WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE: President Obama. He seems like a pretty laid back, cool guy, and I would love to hear some of the behind-the-scenes stories about life as a president.

IF YOU COULD COME BACK AS AN ANIMAL WHAT WOULD YOU BE: I would come back as a bird because I’d have the best view of the city every time I went anywhere.

WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU: I love to karaoke, and I’m not just talking about over drinks with a group of friends.

I’ve gone singing several times alone, as well as sober.

ON MY NIGHTSTAND: I have gotten into audiobooks since I’ve started running, and I’m currently listening to Hidden Figures.

BINGE-WATCH: There are several, but the first that comes to mind is House of Cards on Netflix. The new season comes out in May, and I can’t wait.

MOST FUN THING IN MEMPHIS: BBQ Fest, hands down. Definitely the best party in Memphis.

10 FOODS to Keep You Full

— and to enjoy!

By Samantha Fong

Almonds

Mangos

Almonds are rich in vitamin E, magnesium, antioxidants, and monounsaturated fats. They create a sense of satiety and fullness that helps prevent overeating and weight management.

Toast them in cinnamon and maple syrup for a sweet treat, or incorporated them in homemade granola.

They suppress appetite, making them a yummy addition to your weight-loss diet. They contain bioactive ingredients like mangiferin that reduces body fat and controls blood sugar levels. They make a great addition to salsas, salads, and greek yogurt.

Ginger Ginger acts as a stimulant that improves digestion, decreases hunger, and boosts metabolism. Enjoy in tea or paired with other flavors in smoothies or stir-fries.

Avocado They’re not only full of healthy fats but also fiber. Avocado contains OEA, which signals the brain and stomach to create a feeling of fullness. A study conducted at Loma Linda University showed that eating just one avocado controlled snacking for up to five hours. Add to salads or spread on your morning toast.

Dark Chocolate Eating 70% cocoa chocolate helps lower cravings. The bitter taste sends a signal to the body that suppresses appetite. Steric acid helps slow digestion to keep you full longer. Fruit dipped in melted dark chocolate makes for a healthy and elegant dessert.

Tofu Tofu provides a great source protein. It’s high in genistein, an isoflavone that suppresses appetite. Substitute in stir-fries and even throw some in your smoothies!

Oatmeal Apples The soluble fiber apples contain keeps you full, and ursolic acid promotes lean muscle mass. A study at the University of Iowa gave animals ursolic acid supplements which increased their energy expenditure, thus increasing muscle mass. Dip in peanut butter for a delicious snack.

The body takes longer to digest oatmeal, meaning it suppresses ghrelin and keeps you full longer. No need to feel guilty about consuming these carbs since they’re low on the glycemic index. It’s a versatile breakfast option paired with nuts, fruits, and spices.

Water Eggs Containing up to 30 grams of protein, eggs inhibit the secretion of ghrelin, the hunger hormone. Consuming an egg for breakfast can control hunger for a full 24 hours. Hard-boiled eggs make a fast, convenient snack on the go.

24

Sometimes the body mistakes hunger for thirst.

Water alone naturally suppresses appetite. Even if temporary, the body thinks its full. Flavor your water with slices of lemon or cucumber and fresh basil leaves.

PLAN AHEAD FOR HEALTHY EATING ON THE GO

By Casey Provo, MS, RDN

We all have the ability to make healthier food choices, and small changes over time will pay off. No one diet works for everyone, so it’s essential to find a healthy, balanced eating plan that makes sense for you and your lifestyle.

Being busy and always on the go, most American’s spend little time enjoying their meals. With multitasking and working lunches as the new normal, it’s easy to find yourself reaching for the quickest meals and snacks with little thought about nutrition. Putting your best fork forward means planning balanced, nutrient packed meals. A little time spent planning ahead can limit overindulgences and reduce your overall intake of calories, fat, and sodium.

Plan your meals to include lean protein sources, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Foods full of protein such as poultry, lean beef, pork, fish, and eggs promote satiety and keep you fueled during a busy day. For those following a vegan or vegetarian diet, nut butters, legumes, tempeh, or

seitan are excellent protein sources. Whole grains, fruits, and vegetables are full of fiber and nutrients that also promote feelings of fullness and can limit excessive snacking later. Keep in mind that dinner leftovers make a great lunch for the next day. Limit trips to the vending machine by keep healthier snack on hand such as apples, oranges, baby carrots, yogurt, almonds, or other raw nuts.

Most restaurants have nutritional information posted online, so if dining out is your only option, consider reviewing the menu prior to dining and select lower calorie options.

Here is an easy, tasty recipe for No Bake Go Bars. These are easy to make, very versatile, and are a great option for an on the go breakfast or snack.

You can swap out the chocolate for your favorite dry fruit (blueberries are great for a peanut butter and jelly type bar) or you can add a couple scoops of your favorite protein powder to bump up the protein.

NO–BAKE PEANUT BUTTER + CHOCOLATE GO BARS INGREDIENTS: q 1 /2 cup natural peanut butter q 1 /4 cup honey (or agave nectar) q 2 Tbsp coconut oil q 1 1/2 cup oats q 1 /3 cup dark chocolate chips q 1 /3 cup chopped walnuts q 1 /3 cup unsweetened, dried coconut q 1 /8 tsp cinnamon q P inch of salt DIRECTIONS: 1. M elt peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil together in a small pot on medium-low heat.

2. O nce combined, remove from heat and stir in oats. Fold in the remaining ingredients.

Versatile and easy to make, these bars are a great option for an on-the-go breakfast or snack. Swap out chocolate for your favorite dried fruit, such as blueberries, for a peanut butter and jelly flavored bar. You can even add a couple scoops of protein powder.

3. P ress into 8x8-inch pan lined with parchment paper. Chill for at least 2 hours, and then cut into bars.

Put Your Best Fork Forward

By Lisa Mullin

March is National Nutrition month, and theme is Put Your Best Fork Forward. The main focus is to make informed food choices and develop sound eating and physical activity habits. This is the time to reevaluate your health goals if your resolutions haven’t kicked in yet. Put into play the following tips to create a healthier you.

Eat More Plants

Get Enough Sleep

Don’t Forget Breakfast

Choose to eat more plants at every meal. Plants contain fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. They also keep you full longer.

Don’t skimp on this. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Try to keep your sleep schedule regular and routine.

Start the day fueled up. Oatmeal with nuts and berries is a great way to start the day.

Read the Labels

Avoid Diet Gimmicks

Go for the five ingredient or less rule: the less ingredients the better. If you can’t pronounce, it don’t eat it! Also keep your sugar and sodium in check.

Liquid diets or eliminating a particular food group should be avoided. Don’t diet, just eat healthy, clean, and smart.

Stop When You Feel Full Use portion control. The amount you eat is just as important as what you eat.

Let Go of Excuses Don’t find excuses to not get healthy. You have to do the work if you want to see the changes.

Snack Smart Snack on a handful of nuts or other lean protein.

Enjoy a piece of fruit or vegetables over processed foods.

Try New Things Add a variety of healthy foods. Try quinoa, dragon fruit, or veggie noodles. They may just become your new favorite.

Drink Water Regularly The body needs water throughout the day. Skip sugary drinks, and pick water whenever possible.

Get Fishy Adding seafood at least twice a week adds a range of nutrients including omega-3 essential fatty acids.

Get Out, Get Active Find activities you enjoy. Try to be physically active each day. A healthy diet and fitness go hand in hand.

Get Cooking Opt to cook more and eat out less. Experiment with new, healthier ingredients. Home cooking saves money and is more nutritious. It helps you become food literate.

Leprechaun Beer Shandy

By Andrea LeTard

As luck would have it, St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Friday this year, so there’s no excuse to skip out on celebrating. Across the country, green beer will flow like gold at the end of a rainbow. But you can just as easily make your own more unique version with this ginger and mint flavored shandy—a lighter, more flavorful take on the keg-flowing traditional green beer.

INGREDIENTS: q 2 bottles ginger beer q 2 bottles (Golden, Blonde, or Wheat) beer q G reen food coloring q 4 large mint leaves, plus more for garnish DIRECTIONS: 1. Several hours before serving, chill 4 beer glasses in the freezer.

2. A t an angle, pour equal parts ginger beer and regular beer into the glasses. Squeeze 4-6 drops of food coloring in each glass. Stir to combine.

3. T ake each sprig of mint in your palm, one at a time, and smack it with your other hand, like a clap. This releases the herb’s oils and will bring out the mint flavor in the drink. Place a leaf into each glass. Garnish each with another sprig of mint. Serve and keep ‘em coming!
