GET YOUR BLOOD FLOWING Venous disorders are exceedingly common, with more than 50 percent of the population showing some manifestations of these disorders, such as varicose or spider veins, by age 65.

Venous disorders are often simply unsightly, but in many cases can cause leg pain, swelling, phlebitis, nonhealing ulcers of the skin, and other serious problems.

Despite the very widespread and sometimes serious nature of venous disorders, they are not aggressively diagnosed or treated. Part of the problem is that venous reflux, the most common cause of venous problems, is poorly understood.

Most health care professionals don’t understand the pathophysiology of the disease, and that often results in delays in getting the proper treatment.

which pulls apart the valve leaflets of the next, lower valve and causes reflux farther down the leg.

to nonhealing of simple breaks in the skin, which is seen as a chronic skin ulcer, usually around the ankle.

As blood pools in lower extremities, veins further swell causing the appearance of varicose veins. This leads to pain, cramping, and spasms often causing the patient to wake up at night with severe restless leg syndrome.

Diagnosis is made by venous ultrasound in which the segments involved, extent, and severity of the reflux is mapped and documented. After this is done, the treatment plan can be made.

Stasis of blood in the leg also leads to pigmentation of the skin and clots in the varicose veins (phlebitis). The high venous pressure in some cases can lead

Venous reflux (also known as venous insufficiency) occurs when venous valves don’t function adequately, leading to reversal of blood flow through the valves during standing or sitting.

These are minimally invasive procedures like Endovenous Laser Ablation or Radiofrequency Ablation.

In these procedures venous access is obtained with ultrasound guidance and a laser fiber is advanced within the diseased vein. After this an anesthetic solution is injected to surround the segment of vein being treated and the laser is activated and withdrawn. The leg is tightly wrapped in bandages and the patient can walk right after the procedure.

Patients can return to their activities of daily living right away without significant down time.

Call Vein Memphis to schedule a consultation at (901) 333-2525 or visit VeinMemphis.com.

Venous reflux is often selfperpetuating, as the pooling of blood in veins distends them, HEALTH+FITNESS | Februar y 2015

Traditionally, one of the most common surgical procedures has been vein stripping, in which a vein-stripping tool is pulled through the great saphenous vein, removing the vein from the leg. More recently, vein stripping has largely been replaced by other vein ablation techniques.

The advantages are that patients can return to work the next day, there is no hospital stay, no scars, and very little or no pain. The procedure lasts 30-45 minutes and is covered by most insurance policies.

Venous reflux most commonly occurs when vein valves weaken due to genetic influences or multiple pregnancies, among other factors. Occupations involving long periods of standing also contribute to causation.

By Robert Wegner, MD.

UNDERSTANDING LAPAROSCOPIC GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY I was recently asked by a colleague why I perform so many laparoscopic gastric bypasses — I did more than 50 last month alone. I simply answered, “Because it works.” Laparoscopic roux-en-y gastric bypass is still the gold standard that all other bariatric procedures are compared to not only in terms of weight loss but complication rates as well. That said, it’s also one of the most technically complex procedures and should only be done by a surgeon specifically trained to do it.

Unfortunately, I have discovered a local perception that gastric bypass is “risky” and “unsafe,” which could not be further from the truth. I am frequently confronted by patients that have been misinformed about this procedure from a variety of sources. I am trying to reeducate the Memphis area about the safety and benefits of this amazing, life-saving operation.

The truth is that an overwhelming body of evidence-based medicine supports the gastric bypass procedure. For example, the three-year outcomes from the STAMPEDE (Surgical Therapy and Medications Potentially Eradicate Diabetes Efficiently) study strongly advocate gastric bypass for treating morbid obesity and type 2 diabetes. This is one of the most closely followed and well-respected ongoing surgical studies in the world. “The three-year data confirms that bariatric surgery maintains its superiority over medical therapy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in severely obese patients,” said the study’s lead investigator from the Cleveland Clinic Bariatric and Metabolic Institute.

“We looked at quality of life, because ultimately it is all about helping our patients live a healthier, happier life. When compared to sleeve gastrectomy and medical therapy, gastric bypass patients achieved greater weight loss, were on fewer medications, had a higher success rate controlling diabetes, and had an improved quality of life.”

well as other surgical options, I invite you to attend one of my information seminars at St. Francis Hospital - Memphis or visit our website, MemphisWeightLossSurgery.com. If you decide to undergo gastric bypass surgery to improve your quality of life and someone asks you why, tell him or her, “Because it works.”

Dr. Wegner completed his general surgery residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago and bariatric fellowship at the University of Iowa. During fellowship he published journal articles reporting the remarkable benefits of laparoscopic gastric bypass leading to the resolution of type 2 diabetes and hypertension. He currently performs over 400 cases per year, and specializes in laparoscopic gastric bypass, laparoscopic gastric sleeve, and converting laparoscopic gastric bands to gastric bypass with only one surgery. Along with Dr. Wegner’s extensive surgical training, he is also a certified personal trainer and former Gold’s Gym owner with more than twenty years of experience in the fitness industry.

He has dedicated his life to helping others by educating them about the benefits of exercise and nutrition.

I am not saying gastric bypass is without risks and is for everyone.

There are other surgical weight-loss operations when gastric bypass is contraindicated. What I am saying is that gastric bypass is extremely safe and effective. On multiple levels gastric bypass is the most powerful weight-loss operation available and should be part of a bariatric surgeon’s skill set.

At this time only myself and my partner, Dr. Virginia Weaver, are performing laparoscopic gastric bypass in the Memphis area. Our office is at St. Francis Memorial Hospital - Memphis in the St. Francis center for Surgical Weight Loss.

THE HEART OF A FIGHTER Anita Williams thought she had the flu.

It was 1994, and Williams had just given birth to her youngest son a few months earlier. While giving him a bath she began feeling ill, but thought she must have caught a virus or the flu.

“After I dressed my son, I sat down for a moment,” Williams said. “My left arm was tingling and began to ache all the way down to my hand. I knew the symptoms all too well.”

Her father passed away at age 51 from heart disease, and Williams realized her symptoms were similar to what her father had experienced before his death.

She told her husband they needed to go to the emergency room immediately.

HEALTH+FITNESS | Februar y 2015

“When we arrived, my blood pressure was at stroke levels,” Williams recalled. “Back then, heart disease was not thought of as a woman’s disease, and the emergency room physician asked me if I had used cocaine.”

According to the American Heart Association, one in three women will die of heart disease, which continues to be the leading cause of death for women. In 2004, the American Heart Association launched the Go Red for Women campaign to increase women’s awareness that heart disease is their leading killer.

Since her first procedure in 1994, Williams has had triple bypass surgery and a second stent procedure.

Cardiovascular Foundation, suggested Williams follow a low-sodium diet as a part of her heart-healthy diet plan. The American Heart Association recommends a daily sodium intake of no more than 1,500 mg.

“When I go out to eat, I will ask for yogurt so I can add lemon juice and make my own dressing for my salad,” she said. “It makes for a really nice dressing, and you are not getting all the sodium you get from typical salad dressings.”

Her diet has also led to her family changing their eating habits. Her sons are both physically active and follow plant-based diets.

Although life has not always been easy, Williams maintains a positive and fearless outlook.

“Heart disease has made me have the attitude that if I can fight this, I can win at anything,” she said.

Mishala Bryant is a communications intern for the American Heart Association.

“As the mother of two boys, I was not going to let heart disease affect my children’s lives experiences,” Williams said.

Diet and exercise are important lifestyle changes to make to fight heart disease, and Williams began to exercise regularly and follow a heart-healthy diet plan.

The question shocked the young mother, who had never used drugs of any kind. She was then admitted for further tests.

“I walk on the treadmill for an hour every morning,” Williams said. “On weeknights I alternate between Zumba and core training, and then I will walk on the weekends.”

2015 H+F

FIT COUPLES NICK & MARCIE SECCOMBE Aquarius + Leo In the four and a half years they’ve been together, fitness has played a huge role in Nick, 31, and Marcie’s, 29, relationship. From their early days of kickboxing to Marcie’s fitness competitions, and possibly a Spartan race together next year, the pair constantly works to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

FITNESS LOVES: NICK: Kickboxing and weight training.

MARCIE: Kickboxing, weight training, bikini competitions, and bodybuilding competitions.

HOW HAS FITNESS HELPED YOUR RELATIONSHIP? MARCIE: Being healthy is important to us and our relationship. We encourage each other to reach our goals, and it’s something we’re conscious of as we look to eventually start a family.

NICK: Working out together helps us to push each other’s comfort zones. I’ve learned how to motivate and encourage Marcie in the way she needs it, which helps in other aspects of our relationship.

IS THERE SOME HEALTHY COMPETITION IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP?

HEALTH+FITNESS | Februar y 2015

NICK: When we first met we went to kickboxing together and would have to run two miles. Marcie wasn’t a fan of running and struggled to get through it. Now she’s able to run the entire time and gives me some heavy competition!

16

WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DATE NIGHT LOOK LIKE? MARCIE: We have date night at the kickboxing gym three nights a week when I’m able to take Nick’s class. We also enjoy cheat meals at local, trendy restaurants and good craft beer.

NICK: After we got engaged, we went straight to Founder’s Brewing. So you can guess that craft beer is something we really enjoy and splurge on from time to time.

“WORKING OUT TOGETHER HAS HELPED US COMMUNICATE BETTER WITH EACH OTHER AND PUSH EACH OTHER’S COMFORT ZONES.”

FIT COU PL ES

PHIL & JULIE PASSMAN Aries + Pisces For Phil, 41, and Julie, 39, fitness is a way of life. Between working out on their own and teaching classes together at the YMCA, the pair is involved in a number of different fitness activities both as a couple and individually. From interval and sprint training to boot camp and spin, they choose to live an active lifestyle to be good examples for their children and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

HOW DOES BEING ACTIVE HELP YOUR RELATIONSHIP? JULIE: With three children and demanding jobs, it’s hard to find time to fit everything in. By teaching classes and working out together, we can spend time with each other while doing something good for ourselves.

PHIL: Since we’re both into fitness, we understand the demands that come with training. It’s great to be able to support each other’s goals and encourage each other to stay on track.

DO YOU WORK OUT TOGETHER OR SEPARATELY? PHIL: We enjoy teaching a sprint class together on Saturdays and an interval training class one Friday per month. We also participate in obstacle course races together. As for weight training and other workouts, we typically go to the gym separately so one of us can stay home with our three children.

WHAT’S YOUR TYPICAL DATE NIGHT? JULIE: We enjoy going out for sushi and to a movie. Sometimes we’ll even just slip away for a coffee date to catch up with each other.

“WE STAY ACTIVE BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE AROUND AND MOVING WHEN WE’RE 95!”

KEN & TERRI CARPENTER Aries + Aries Health and fitness is ingrained into virtually every aspect of Ken, 60, and Terri’s, 50, lives. Both avid runners, the pair enjoys participating in local races such as the Elvis Presley 5k, the Gibson Guitar 5k, and Race for the Cure, and Ken is also the founder for the Annual Mark Walden Sickle Cell 5k. Professionally, the couple is opening Carpenter Primary Healthcare in Whitehaven at the Methodist South Hospital Medical Office Complex where Terri is the CEO and DNP, FNP-BC, while husband Ken is COO and business manager.

FITNESS LOVE: Running.

HEALTH+FITNESS | Februar y 2015

WHY IS FITNESS IMPORTANT TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP?

18

TERRI: Fitness is just a way of life for us, and a normal, routine part of our relationship. Plus, as a family nurse practitioner, I try to help motivate and encourage my patients to lead a healthier life. With opening my own medical practice, I need to be physically fit to show my patients I live by what I teach.

KEN: We run together 3-4 days per week. It’s nice to have someone to motivate you and hold you accountable. We support each other’s accomplishments, like when Terri ran six miles for the first time last fall with Sisters in Motion. Running gives us the opportunity to spend time together, while also clearing our minds and relieving some stress. Ken is an Anatomy and Physiology instructor at Southwest Tennessee Community College and plans to retire this year to work full-time in the medical practice.

“WE LOVE RUNNING TOGETHER AND ARE ABLE TO BOND WITH EACH OTHER ON THE TRACK.”

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR DATE NIGHT? TERRI: A good night out for us would be going to a movie, skating, bowling, dinner, or dancing alone or with our friends. We’ve been married almost 23 years and together for 31 years, but we still enjoy being around each other, having fun together, and working together.

FIT COU PL ES

DOUGLAS & NICHOLE SCARBORO Scorpio + Sagittarius On the heels of Douglas turning 40, he and Nichole, 39, decided it was time to get in better shape. After having their two children, Nichole wanted to lose the rest of the baby weight, and her husband Douglas wanted to shed a few pounds as well. Although the two had always worked out at the gym, they needed a new challenge to push their limits.

RECENT FITNESS ACCOMPLISHMENT: Competing in their first bodybuilding competition.

HOW DID TRAINING FOR THE BODYBUILDING COMPETITION HELP YOUR RELATIONSHIP? NICHOLE: Training for the competition was a new challenge that helped us set new training goals. We trained together three times per week, as usual, but we trained harder and also changed our diet. Doing the diet and training for the competition together helped keep us focused and motivated to do our best.

DOUGLAS: Bodybuilding can be an isolated and lonely sport, but training and competing together made it fun and very doable.

HOW DO YOU KEEP THINGS EXCITING AFTER BEING TOGETHER 18 YEARS? DOUGLAS: We celebrate everything — every holiday, every birthday, every anniversary. We never skip an opportunity to buy each other gifts or go out for a special dinner. We also enjoy cooking and traveling together.

“WITHOUT THE COMPETITION WE WOULDN’T HAVE KNOWN THE DEGREE TO WHICH WE COULD IMPROVE OUR FITNESS LEVELS.”

SAM & PAM BLAIR Capricorn + Cancer Sam, 59, and Pam, 58, have been fixtures in the Memphis fitness community for decades. Pam, former race director of the Memphis in May Triathlon, has completed more than 200 triathlons, and Sam has participated in more than 150 races, including two full Ironmans. Both in their late 50s, Pam and Sam are as active as they have ever been, and hope their lifestyle will help them maintain their strength and agility as they get older.

HEALTH+FITNESS | Februar y 2015

HOW DOES BEING ACTIVE HELP YOUR RELATIONSHIP?

20

PAM: Since both of us are active in the fitness community, we understand the demands of training. We are both patient and tolerant as to each other’s schedules and realize that our fitness goals are important to each of us.

SAM: Support from your family and spouse is very important to succeed in whatever your passions are. For us, it’s fitness. Training for an Ironman is grueling and a huge time commitment, and it’s made possible by the support of Pam.

DO YOU WORK ENJOY WORKING OUT TOGETHER OR SEPARATELY?

“WITH BOTH OF US BEING ATTORNEYS, OUR SCHEDULES STAY BOOKED. FITNESS HELPS US TO BE MORE TOLERANT ABOUT WHAT WE DO EVERY DAY AND ENHANCES OUR RELATIONSHIP, MAKING US BOTH MORE PATIENT WITH EACH OTHER.”

SAM: We used to work out together more than we do now, simply because of scheduling and training plans. We still manage to go for a run or bike ride together on occasion.

WHAT’S YOUR TYPICAL DATE NIGHT? PAM: We enjoy cooking at home with a bottle of wine or champagne.

If we go out, we usually enjoy somewhere local near our house — we’re Midtowners through and through!

HOW TO SET RUNNING GOALS Your New Year’s resolution was to start running.

You’ve laid the foundation over the past few weeks and have been fit for proper running shoes, but now you find yourself wondering what’s next.

How do you keep going, or what should you work toward? As with any new endeavor you take on, it’s important to have goals in place to measure your progress and keep you on track for success.

BE REALISTIC.

When it comes to running, you need to first be realistic with where you are on your journey and where you want to go. Know your physical abilities now and be honest with where you think you will be in one, two, or six months. Set your goals accordingly. If you’re just getting into fitness and running, deciding to complete an Ironman this year may be a stretch. But crossing the finish line of a 5k or being able to run for 30 minutes straight could definitely be doable.

MAKE YOUR GOALS MEASUREABLE.

Whether it’s being able to run consistently for 30 minutes or run one mile in 10 minutes, set a specific goal that you can measure.

Ambiguous goals make it harder to track progress and can make you feel like you aren’t moving forward in your running journey. Pick a set distance or time goal and plan to achieve it. Also be sure to track your progress daily or weekly so you can see how far you have come since you started. Having a record is good for the harder days when it feels like you haven’t improved.

PICK A RACE.

HEALTH+FITNESS | Februar y 2015

If you’re currently walking or doing walking/running intervals, it may be a good idea to focus on an upcoming 5k. If you’re currently running 3-5 miles, maybe it’s time to take the leap and train for a half marathon. Sit down with a calendar and determine how long it would take to train for an upcoming race and decide which one you would like to participate in.

22

HAVE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY.

Tell your friends and family what your running goal is. Better yet, have a friend who is working toward a similar goal help hold you accountable. Join a running/walking group to be around like-minded people who will motivate you and encourage you to succeed.

Knowing you have people waiting on you to go for a walk or run or having people ask when your next race is will help you stay on track.

Do you have Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes?

We are looking for people between 18 and 65 years of age with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes to take part in a new clinical research study.

The INSTRIDE Studies are looking to see how well an investigational insulin works to control blood sugar levels. The investigational insulin has been designed to be as similar as possible to insulin glargine (Lantus®), which has helped many people with diabetes worldwide. However, the investigational insulin may provide a more affordable treatment option that could benefit many more people.

For patients with Type 1 Diabetes, the study will last for 66 weeks with 22 study visits (six of these may be conducted by telephone rather than at the study center). For patients with Type 2 Diabetes, the study will last for 32 weeks with 14 study visits (five of these may be conducted by telephone rather than at the study center). All study medications and study-related healthcare will be provided at no cost to you.

You may be able to take part if you have been taking Lantus® for at least 3 months (patients with Type 2 Diabetes may also be able to take part if they have never taken insulin before).

Interested? Please contact the study team using the details below.

Learn to Love Your Sweat There is a particular stillness that comes with the wintertime, when the natural world enters a season of slumber. So it is with the body as well, when our own energies come to rest.

But come February, with Valentine’s Day around the corner, most are craving some brightness in their lives and fire in their relationships.

care of yourself and loving yourself, you are then able to better love others. The increased coordination and flexibility, added with decreased inhibitions about your own body, could reignite a flame. Those with a regular yoga practice find their stress levels reduced while their personal power increases.

One way you can do this is by starting a regular Bikram yoga practice, where yogis move together in harmony in a heated room.

Don’t be afraid of the heat you might experience in the yoga room. It’s a controlled heat, very unlike being in a sauna or having the sun beat down on you, and induces a much-needed healthy sweat.

Students have experienced a spike in their libido after practicing even for a short time.

I’ve been practicing Bikram yoga for six months,” said an unnamed 45-year-old student. “One noticeable difference is in my libido. Perhaps it’s because I like what I see in the mirror, or perhaps it’s my amplified energy and positive sense of well-being, but the yoga has enhanced my life in the bedroom.”

In the hot room you learn to love your body more. You open your mind and your heart, and find a connection to yourself. By taking

Bikram yoga is a purifying yoga. It purifies your body and sweat so that your pheromones will be their most potent and

“Bikram yoga has been a huge part of my life for the past nine years. When Craig finally decided to give it a try a few years ago, I felt a new bond forming, like I could finally discuss this part of my life with him. He finally understood why I subjected myself to ‘Bikram’s torture chamber.’ Together we are able to benefit tremendously from Bikram yoga, both mentally and physically.”

natural. Sweating is a natural part of your body functions. In fact, sweating also helps you eliminate fat from the body. Yep, you read that right – it helps you shed fat.

Sweat controls the body temperature, expelling excess water and toxins while carrying excess fat from the body. It cools the body, moistens the skin and hair, cleans the pores, and purifies the blood.

When you do Bikram yoga you sweat, detox, and feel amazing after every class. Your stress levels are down, your body and mind are relaxed, and you get healthier daily. As you start to feel better about yourself, you start to feel more sensual and sexually desirable – and you are!

FAVORITE FITNESS ACCOMPLISHMENT: Finally running a half marathon in less than two hours (1:57:06) after missing it by 1-2 minutes three races prior. I wanted to celebrate because all of the hard work and determination had paid off.

MOST MEMORABLE WW MOMENT: Running the 5k and half marathon with my run team, Black Men Run, in Chicago. It was the most fun and stimulating run we’ve ever had at a race.

RACE DAY RITUALS: I ride a stationery bike for 5-10 minutes to warm up before stretching. I do a variety of stretches for 15-20 minutes to make sure my legs are good and loose. A protein shake and oatmeal is my race-day meal. Then I say a prayer for the safety of all the race participants and go hit it!

FOODS FOR A HEALTHY HEART

By Lisa Abbay, RDN, LDN, FAND

February is American Heart Month. During this month, love each other and love your heart. From oatmeal in the morning to a full cabernet in the evening with dinner, these 10 heart-healthy foods and beverages are packed with heart-healthy nutrients and powerful phytochemicals that will keep your love alive.

1 RED WINE

2 TEA

Contains catechins and reservatrol (flavonoids).

Contains catechins and flavonols (flavonoids).

Drink a glass of red wine and it could improve your good cholesterol (HDL) levels. Always have your doctors approval before drinking any alcohol.

Make sun tea very easily: Combine in a clear glass jar, add several tea bags, and put in the sunshine for hours. Delicious!

3 DARK CHOCOLATE

4 OATMEAL

Contains reservatrol and cocoa phenols (flavonoids).

Contains omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, potassium, folate, niacin, calcium, and soluble fiber.

HEALTH+FITNESS | Februar y 2015

A truffle per day could potentially lower your blood pressure, but choose 70% or higher cocoa content. Read the label carefully on these and ask questions if you are unsure.

30

Top hot oatmeal with a variety of fresh berries.

Oatmeal-raisin cookies are a heart-healthy treat.

5 BROWN RICE

6 GROUND FLAXSEED

Contains B-complex vitamins, fiber, niacin, magnesium, and fiber.

Microwavable brown rice makes a quick lunch or addition to your dinner. Stir in a few chopped veggies (broccoli, carrots, spinach, or squash) for a great sautĂŠ.

Ground flaxseed hides easily in all sorts of foods — yogurt parfaits, morning cereal, homemade muffins, pasta, or cookies. Try this with your kids, as well.

7 ALMONDS

8 BLUEBERRIES/BERRIES

Contains plant omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, magnesium, fiber, mono- and polyunsaturated fats and phytosterols.

Contains beta-carotene and lutein (carotenoids), anthocyanin (a flavonoid), vitamin C, folate, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and fiber.

Top almonds on oatmeal, cereal, or just eat them as a snack. Just make sure you only have the portion size if you are unsure.

Cranberries, strawberries, and raspberries are potent, too. Use them for trail mixes, muffins, and salads.

These are delicious on everything!

9 CANTALOUPE

10 SPINACH

Contains beta-carotene (carotenoids), folate, potassium, and fiber.

Contains folate, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and fiber.

A fragrant, ripe cantaloupe is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or potluck dinners. Simply cut and enjoy fresh daily!

Quinoa and veggies provide a good source of dietary fiber and are high in carotenoids and phytochemicals, which are linked to the prevention of coronary heart disease. The creamy vegan nut sauce contains heart-disease-fighting vitamins and minerals like vitamin E, folic acid, magnesium, and potassium. A healthy alternative to traditional dairy pasta sauce, and it’s delicious!

"After my pregnancy I developed spider and varicose veins in my legs and ankles. This caused me to suffer with restless legs and frequent tingling/pain causing interference with my sleep. After having the laser and injection treatments with Dr. Arcot my spider and varicose veins have disappeared, and the blood circulation has returned to my legs. The best news of all is that the treatments have relieved my pain and my energy level has returned - not to mention I feel great wearing my shorts and swimsuit again! Dr. Arcot and his staff are lovely to work with. They provided me with wonderful service and genuine care. I highly recommend the Memphis Vein Center to anyone for vascular problems."

A RECIPE FOR ROMANCE:

APHRODISIACS IN THE KITCHEN

By Robin Beaudoin

An aphrodisiac is a substance that increases sexual desire when consumed.

Do you remember the first time you ever tried oysters on the half shell? Did someone playfully warn you of the aphrodisiac qualities of the slippery, salty seafood? Maybe you added a dash of hot sauce or a little horseradish for heat. If oysters don’t do it for you, there are plenty of other libido-boosting foods that will.

Named for Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, aphrodisiacs have been exciting diners around the world for centuries. They include asparagus, honey, bananas, almonds, avocado, basil, chocolate, figs, garlic, and oysters, among others. Why do these foods have this effect on us? Various chemical

compounds, hormones, nutrients, or even textures can stimulate the body and brain.

I’ve found that traditionally “sinful” foods also spark romance. These are the foods that are out of the norm, or that we just don’t have in our calorie-restricted diets. Long, dictionconscious descriptions of dishes and dimly lit menus can make the mouth water just as well as the dishes themselves. Just read these words aloud and notice how they tickle the tongue: gooey, cheesy, succulent, fresh, sautéed, tender, molten, au jus, barbecued, simmered, saucy, chocolate, gravy, reduction, flash-fried, bitter, salted, caramel, smoky, bubbly, crispy — how does your mouth feel now?

This Valentine’s Day prepare my light and flavorful menu, guaranteed to awaken the palate and warm the heart. Enjoy them, but don’t over imbibe on food or alcohol, as a full stomach is a sleepy one.

Cooking with your partner can be sensual.

Begin the evening with room temperature figs, stuffed with a bit of blue cheese, and add a drizzle of honey. Figs have sweetness and a delightful seedy crispness that tickles the tongue. Salty blue cheese complements a light, sweet touch of honey. Pour a glass of champagne or wine and get things cooking.

HONEY GLAZED ROASTED LEMON AND GARLIC CHICKEN

q 2 large chicken hindquarters, with skin and leg and thighbones intact q 1 /3 cup honey q 2 Tbsp. coconut oil or butter q O live oil q 1 Tbsp. brown sugar q 3 /4 tsp. salt q 1 head of garlic q 1 large lemon

34

q 2 Tbsp. fruity white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc

— Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut off top 1/4 of garlic, leaving the cloves in place.

Remove ends of lemon, making a flat surface so that lemon can stand on end.

Halve lemon, and place in small oven-safe, non-reactive pan with the garlic, openside up. Drizzle generously with olive oil, and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until soft.

Remove garlic from hot pan using tongs, squeezing to remove the roasted cloves, removing any remaining garlic skin, and set aside. (This roasted garlic is also great on hot bread.)

— Using tongs, squeeze the hot lemon juice into the pan, picking out any seeds, and stir in the honey.

— Oil a glass baking dish, and place chicken quarters in dish. Carefully slide your fingertips underneath the skin of the chicken, and slip roasted garlic cloves between the meat and the skin. Don’t worry; the garlic will be sweet, not

pungent. Rub the outside of the skin with coconut oil (or butter), brown sugar, and salt.

— P our the hot pan sauce over the bird, and bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees. Optional: broil for 15-30 seconds to achieve a dark, crisp skin.

— D rizzle chicken with pan sauce, and serve with a light salad. You will savor the sticky glaze from your fingertips as you pluck the flavorful meat from the bone.

Let the dishes soak, and pull out the cutting board.

Enjoy some chopped bits of dark chocolate with fresh juicy berries for dessert. Dark chocolate contains trace amounts of both tryptophan, the sleepy, relaxing chemical, and phenylethylamine, a stimulating chemical believed to be released in the brain concurrent to feelings of love. The dishes can wait.
