Food for Thought A brief lesson on the digestive system

By Lydia Freudenberg TIME TO IGNORE that taboo crap – pun totally

intended – and get real about the digestive system. We all have one, and understanding the ins and outs of it is vital to living a healthy and painless life.

The digestive system is composed of the gastrointestinal tract – a series of long, hollow intertwining tubes from the mouth to the anus – the liver, pancreas and gallbladder. During digestion, trillions of microbiome bacteria in the GI tract break down food and drink and absorb the nutrients for energy, growth and cell repair.

It’s incredibly complex and a lot of aspects surrounding the system are still unknown.

Thankfully, researchers and gastroenterologists like Tara Menon, MD at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, are clearing things up.

“Most people encounter digestive issues at some point and if these issues persist, they can adversely affect every aspect of their lives,” Menon says. “As a gastroenterologist, I really enjoy meeting these individuals, learning their stories and ultimately providing them the tools and treatments for a road to recovering.”

Balanced Diet

Since the GI tract absorbs nutrients from food and drink, what happens if someone has an unbalanced diet? Menon explains that the microbiome lines the intestines and also serves as a barrier to toxins and pathogens from entering the body. So, if someone were to have an imbalanced diet for years, it may lead to dysbiosis; an imbalance of gut bacteria that can compromise that barrier.

“We don’t recommend any specific diet over another but we do recommend that a diet be varied,” Menon says. “It’s actually good to get exposed to a variety of foods; it helps cultivate a wide range of good bacteria.”

Menon does note that the Mediterranean diet is a good representation of a balanced regimen – avoiding red meat and processed food, enjoying grains, vegetables and fruits, and limiting fish. And for vegans and vegetarians, Menon suggest not increasing grains or sugars to compensate as it can lead to bloating, bowl complications and adnominal pain.

Diseases and Conditions

The list for digestive-related diseases is rather lengthy, some of the most common are as followed: Gastroesophageal reflux disease aka GERD: When stomach acid backs up into the esophagus and causes acid reflux or heartburn at least twice each week. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases reports that 20 percent of Americans are affected by GERD. 4

cityscenecolumbus.com | August 2019

Celiac Disease: Damage to the GI tract when gluten products are digested. Can lead to mal-nutrition, liver damage and certain cancers if untreated. Those with a glutenintolerance or discomfort when digesting gluten will not have long term affects.

Hemorrhoids: And yes, the rumors are true. Whether you’re reading a magazine or playing a phone game, sitting on the toilet too long can cause hemorrhoids – swollen veins in anus or the lower rectum that cause daily discomfort and bowel movement complications. The Mayo Clinic reports that nearly three out of four adults will experience hemorrhoids.

Menon suggests elevating your feet while using the bathroom to help realignment and ease; have you heard of the Squatty Potty?

Hemorrhoids are not just from lounging on the toilet though, those who excessively sit can also get them – the U.S. National Library of Medicine recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a week.

Too Much Exercise?

Getting the heart pumping is vital to improving blood flow, relieving stress and ultimately helping regulate diges-

ACCIDENTS DON’T TAKE A VACATION. tion. But is too much exercise bad? Don’t get confused, we’re talking about fulltime marathon runners or those who do intense workouts daily. In a 2017 study

by Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics, as exercise intensity and duration increases, so can intestinal injury.

“It’s never good to overdo any activity,” Menon says. “It can lead to stress and then the stress response and stress hormones and that can alter your metabolism and lead CityScene to long-term injury or 1/3 square, chronic problems. The main thing is a good balance.”

LIVESTRONG recommends taking at least one day off from strenuous exercise per week. And don’t forget to hydrate!

The Mayo Clinic says H2O helps break down food and softens stool.

Advancements

Within recent years, experts have learned that human microbiome is rather resourceful. Yes, it’s gross, but actually professionally transplanting someone’s feces into another patient via a fecal microbiota transplant can help with gastrointestinal bacterial infection and can help restore good bacteria in the GI tract.

At OSU, Menon says FMTs are done endoscopically through a colonoscopy but a new method is underway – a pill.

“We do not use the pill, it’s still in the development stages, but you can imagine that would be more convenient for people than undergoing a colonoscopy,” Menon says. “I could see it (on the market) in five to 10 years, though.”

In a recent article on Labiotech, Europe’s leading biotech news website, the microbiome fascinates many researchers due to its link to conditions including autism, cancer and AIDS. But the cell structure is unique to every individual, making research into how to extract and use the microbiome more complex.

“The FMT will adjust dysbiosis and hopefully help fight at infection,” Menon reinstates. “But who knows, in the future with research, (the microbiome) may possibly intervene on chronic illnesses; we’re just not there yet.” CS20 Lydia Freudenberg is the brand loyalty specialist.

CUISINE

THOUGH WE ALL love elaborate charcuterie plates, medium-rare burgers with a steak knife stuck in the middle and intricate pasta dishes, let’s be honest: sometimes you just want some mac and cheese.

And while boxed mac and cheese definitely satisfies a craving, Columbus restaurants are flipping the kids’ menu on its head, elevating dishes and showing you that you don’t have to feel weird ordering a $14 plate of chicken fingers.

Whether you’re dreaming of peanut butter and jelly, mac and cheese, or cookies, check out these Columbus restaurants that will spoil your inner child.

sweet tooth’s paradise. However, sit down for brunch and one menu item will be sure to pique your interest: the Belgian waffle.

With whipped cream, powdered sugar, and your choice of berry sauce or fresh fruit, this Belgian waffle will feel fancy, but you’re still getting that sugar rush your inner kid craves.

Brunch

Dinner

Brunch is for having fun, so what better time to eat kids’ food? Who doesn’t want to pair kid-favorite food with a very adult Bloody Mary?

The Pearl features high-class dining in a cozy setting. It also offers a wicked fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich for brunch. Based on the quality of the rest of The Pearl’s menu, you can be sure you’re going to get something delicious, elevated and different; this isn’t your mom’s Smucker’s and Jif PB&J. Over at Mozart’s on High Street, kids at heart will have a hard time figuring out what to order. Between the unbelievable sweets and chocolates, Mozart’s is basically a

A Seat at the Kids’ Table

Feel like a kid again with these Columbus menu items

By Amanda DePerro

cityscenecolumbus.com | August 2019

If you love chicken tenders, grilled cheese and french fries, you won’t have to stick to the kids’ menu during nights out with friends. Walk through the Short North, Grandview or any of Columbus’ burgeoning suburbs and you’ll surely find menu items that satisfy your grown-up kid tastes. Here are a few standout dishes. First things first: starters.

Mentioning Cap City Fine Diner and Bar may as well be cheating. Cap City is elevating the game of diner food and you’re hard pressed to find something on the menu that you and kids alike don’t love. However, one Cap City choice takes the cake; its blue cheese potato chips. Potato chips are a food for everyone, but you don’t typically think of them as fancy. With blue cheese, Alfredo sauce and chives, this plate will be picked clean in minutes.

Schmidt’s Sausage Haus und Restaurant is another great choice for the child in all of us. With a laid back, fun atmosphere and a menu filled to the brim with food good for the soul, you really can’t go wrong. Schmidt’s Famous Pretzel Nuggets, however, are the obvious kids’ first choice. And don’t skimp out; spend the extra couple of dollars for the mouthwatering beer cheese dip to go alongside your mustard sauce.

When you think of toast, you typically think of something simple. Throw a slice of white bread in the toaster, add butter or jam and you’re done. Kids love it because it’s tasty, parents love it because it’s easy to make. Mitchell’s Steakhouse’s wild mushroom toast appetizer may not be easy to make, but it’s delicious. Wild mushrooms, red wine demi-glace and parmesan on grilled sourdough may be a little too out there for children who are picky eaters, but adults who are kids at heart will love it.

Your inner kid is jumping for joy and you still have entrees and desserts to deal with. Let’s dive in.

Though most kids blanch at the suggestion of healthy foods, every Northstar Café item is a crowd pleaser. Northstar’s pepperoni pizza is on an especially different level. The restaurant uses mozzarella, organic pepperoni and organic Bianco di Napoli tomatoes to serve a pie that’s crazy good and healthy, too.

Milestone 229 combines a great location with a delightful menu. Get an unmatched view of the Columbus skyline and the Scioto Mile with your kids’ meal.

Roasted chicken, green beans, and mac and cheese is a staple dish for kids, and Milestone 229’s chicken breast serves it up for adults, too. Plus, as an adult, you don’t have to finish your chicken and beans before your mac and cheese (though you’ll want to – they’re exquisite).

Dessert

Finally, dessert – the part of the meal every kid can’t wait for. If you’re dessert obsessed, Columbus is the right place to be. Whether you’re sitting down for a four-star meal at The Refectory Restaurant + Bistro or just grabbing some local take-out, Columbus’ desserts can’t be beat.

Is there anything that makes kids’ eyes sparkle more than a cookie?

Lindey’s is known for doing both basic and complex meals expertly, and its cookie a la mode is done to perfection.

Lindey’s complements its cookie with another Columbus favorite, cookie dough ice cream from Johnson’s Real Ice Cream. Top it all off with salty caramel and you’ll want to order a dozen to take home.

As far as upscale restaurants go, you don’t get much classier than The Refectory. Known for its shifting menu, topnotch service and historic atmosphere, you wouldn’t typically think of The Refectory for kid-friendly food. However, you’ll surely feel like a kid on Easter morning choosing from a box of chocolates with The Refectory’s white milk and dark chocolate entremet. Just remember to use your inside voice when you tell the rest of the table how good it is. CS20 Amanda DePerro is a contributing editor. Feedback welcome at feedback@cityscenemediagroup.com.

Columbus Jazz Orchestra presents Speakeasy Hot Jazz with Ian Finkel and Tony Glausi March 12-15 Southern Theatre The roaring ‘20s are highlighted and remembered in this performance, full of jazz and talent – including 24-year-old trumpeter star Tony Glausi. “Prohibition exacerbated the desire for alcohol and with it the need for speakeasies. To complement their illegal beverages, these speakeasies demanded high powered entertainment from the likes Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and others,” says Bryon Stripling, artistic director of Columbus Jazz Orchestra. “Using that historical context we will create a night of speakeasy jazz oozing with the sensual, red hot jazz of that era.”

Dr. Green Thumb Tips to make your garden pop this summer

By Sara Dowler

Interested in gardening but don’t know where to begin? Are you a master gardener looking for a new challenge? We have a plant recommendation for you and everyone in between.

For beginner gardeners: Begonia Plant, water every now and then, and enjoy! Begonias are an easy way to keep your garden looking nice and can help develop good gardening habits.

• Annual • Sun exposure: can be planted in the sun or shade, really anywhere you want • Soil: can tolerate some dry soil

• Water needs: every 3-4 days • Great for hanging baskets • Comes in many different colors and is in bloom from spring until fall

Photos by Linda Laine

For intermediate gardeners: Annabelle Hydrangea Requiring just slightly more care than begonias, hydrangeas are the perfect plant for developing your gardening skills.

• Perennial • Sun Exposure: partial sun, can take shade and can withstand direct sunlight • Soil: moist • Water needs: every 3-4 days • There are many different types of hydrangeas in a variety of colors that you can also plant such as the Invincibelle Spirit Hydrangea, Pinky Winky Hydrangea, Bobo Hydrangea, Little Lamb Hydrangea and more For advanced gardeners: Dahlia A more difficult plant to grow, dahlias require a lot of care and upkeep; however, these stunning flowers are definitely worth the work.

• Sun: these flowers like a lot of sunlight so be sure to plant them where they will get between 6-8 hours per day • Water: depending upon how sunny and hot it is, dahlias may need to be watered up to every other day • Soil: dug up and loosened with compost www.luxurylivingmagazine.com

• When planting dahlias, the tubers should have an eye of green growth and be put into the ground when the soil is warm Pro tips: Want to enjoy dahlias but don’t want to wait for the weather to warm up the soil? Plant them indoors about six weeks ahead of Mother’s Day and then transfer them outdoors.

• As dahlias grow, you’ll want to tie them loosely to a stake every couple of inches.

• Sizes of dahlias can range from one inch to the size of a plate.

• Dahlias like to be pruned, so you are guaranteed to have fresh-cut flowers in your home until the first freeze.

Pro gardening tips from Linda Laine, a gardener in the WesterFlora Garden Committee, about winter plant survival • When choosing a plant look at the growing zone or the down to degree on the tag. By aligning these to the climate and growing zone of central Ohio, your growing success can be greatly increased.

• Plant survival in the winter can also depend on if there is snow covering the plant during extremely low temperatures.

So, if your local meteorologist calls for freezing temperatures and snow be sure to cover and protect your plants. v Sara Dowler is a contributing writer. Feedback welcome at feedback@cityscenemediagroup.com.

Touchdown in Powell

OSU football alumnus and retired NFL player shows off Powell home

By Lydia Freudenberg The name Jake Stoneburner probably rings a bell for football fans. A former Ohio State Buckeye footballer and retired NFL player for the Miami Dolphins, Stoneburner is back in central Ohio and taking on new adventures.

After getting waived multiple times and living in three cities in one month during his NFL career, Stoneburner wanted to find a place to call home. He decided upon Powell for a few reasons – the serenity of nature while still in the bustle of Columbus, close proximity to his family in Dublin and a quick commute to work at his father’s company, Stoneburner Wealth Management, LLC. “Coach Tressel always said, ‘Use Ohio State, don’t let Ohio State use you,’ and he never meant during football, but post-football,” Stoneburner explains. “So, between my dad starting a company 20 years ago and the Ohio State network here, it was a no brainer. … Columbus is just where I want to start my career.”

The house isn’t his forever home, especially now that he’s engaged and thinking about starting a family, but for a first-time house he bought completely on his own before the age of 30, it’s perfect.

Walking into his abode, I’m immediately greeted by Stoneburner’s new puppy Kevin, named after the bird in the Walt Disney/Pixar film, Up – Stoneburner explains his love for all things Disney, saying his fiancé, Alex, who grew up in Southern Florida, is more obsessed. Breezing past the foyer, the home opens up and features mostly natural light.

The walls are lively with family artwork – landscape paintings by his grandmother’s father – and a tall stone fireplace creates a dramatic focal point.

Making our way into the kitchen, a flickering tangerine candle fills the space with tropical vibes. Then I notice a shelf full of candles through a glass cupboard, and I have to ask about them.

“I love candles, I’m obsessed with them,” he says. “And when Bath & Body Works has any type of sale – look out.”

Wanting to play into the whole “What’s in your fridge?” household tour, I shamelessly ask him what’s behind the stainless-steel doors. Multiple flavors of Propel Water are scat16 L u

tered about – Stoneburner explains his love for the drink after years of playing football – organic shakes, vegetables and apples in a Mickey Mouse bag (he laughs at their love for Disney) fill the remaining space.

But what’s an OSU and NFL player without a memorabilia room? The upstairs loft is a capsule of his favorite things – jerseys and pictures of him on the field, Marvel Comics artwork, a custom-made tree-bark mask from Costa Rica, and a large collection of finished and unfinished jigsaw puzzles featuring Disney scenes or colorful collages.

“The goal: have a bunch of the puzzles glued and then an entire room filled with them all framed,” Stoneburner says. “I’m not sure it will ever be in this house because of how it’s set up I want it to be somewhere

The outside patio is the pièce de résistance. From a shimmering pond to a thriving clematis that will eventually cover the pergola, to the cozy firepit and mint leaf garden, the backyard is an oasis.

“There are multiple nights of cotton candy sunsets and it reflects off the water,” he says. www.luxurylivingmagazine.com

Eventually, Stoneburner hopes to live in the country or on more land. But as of right now, he’s perfectly content watching the sunset, creating the most beautiful backdrop in Powell. v

NEW ALBANY

Walking Classic September 15, 2019 • www.newalbanywalkingclassic.com

Who Would’ve Thought?

By Phil Heit

It’s year number 15 and the New Albany Walking Classic has become a significant event for many reasons. Perhaps most notable is its impact on individuals and families. While the Walk has perpetuated the idea that physical activity is an integral dimension in the wellbeing spectrum, it’s also paved an unobstructed route that many have traversed in their quest toward achieving mental, social and emotional clarity.

Creating a Culture of Health Over the past 15 years, I have been asked to respond to what has become the most frequently asked question posed to me.

22

cityscenecolumbus.com | 2019 New Albany Walking Classic

“Phil, so you’re putting on a Walk.

What’s the charity?”

My response throughout the past 15 years has been unaltered and verbalized as if programmed on autopilot.

“The charity is you. We want you to donate to your wellbeing.”

While this response might not provide a clear answer initially as it relates to the “So where do the registration fees go?” question, appeasement sets in with my response of, “100 percent of all proceeds are donated to Healthy New Albany, a 501(c)(3) charity.”

Healthy New Albany: Changing Lives Positively Healthy New Albany, an outgrowth of the Walk, is an innovative prevention model that impacts the lives of those living within and outside the boundaries of New Albany. The Walk led to the creation of The Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany, a 54,000- squarefoot facility made possible and owned by the City of New Albany with land donated by the New Albany Company.

The Center houses The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Health and Fitness Center, Nationwide

health experiences that include but are not limited to yoga, meditation, aromatherapy, acupuncture and so much more, all for the purpose of preventing the recurrence of cancer.

• Implemented prevention programs to address concerns about opioid and other drug use for the school and community populations.

• Created wellness programs for elders.

• Integrated the New Albany Food Pantry under its umbrella.

• Created the New Albany farmers market and community garden.

Fifteen years ago, who would’ve thought the Walk would become the impetus to the creation of a nonprofit organization, one that would change so many lives? I know one person who did.

Because of the Walk, Healthy New Albany has: • Provided the opportunity for thousands of individuals to attend presentations on hundreds of different health topics.

“The Charity is You”

After a rainstorm cancelled 2018’s event, the walk returns brighter than ever

By Mallory Arnold

It’s the number one New Albany athletic event of the season, but you won’t see anyone running to the starting line.

Founder of the race and the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany, Phil Heit used to be a running junkie. He was one of the first to run the Central Park Marathon in New York City and dedicated many years participating in races.

“My training runs would be three hours,” Heit says. “I used to run marathons – 26 miles. I can’t imagine it anymore!”

So, when his doctors told him that, due to some injuries, Heit shouldn’t run anymore, it was devastating. He recalls driving home, holding back tears.

“I said, ‘Okay, you’re telling me not to run?,’” Heit says, recalling that day. “Then I went home, put on my running shoes, and started to walk as far and as fast as I could.”

Once he realized that walking was giving him the same good feeling that running did, he continued to walk faster and farther. Eventually, people began walking with him. With that, he created the New Albany Walking Club.

From there, the idea surfaced to put together something so much bigger – an athletic event now in its 15th year.

The New Albany Walking Classic is quite possibly the only one of its kind in the country: an event established for the love of walking and competition. Athletes from all around come to participate, including Olympic walkers. The 10K (6.21 miles) begins on Market Square and winds throughout the New Albany community. It’s challenging for some who aren’t used to walking long distances.

“I tell people who are just getting started to get out there and walk to get a baseline of how far you can walk,” Heit says. “And then you increase your mileage, no more than 10 percent a week.”

Fuel Up for the 2019 Walk What’s the ideal breakfast of champions?

It’s different for everyone. While some people opt for no food prior to a race, Heit recommends having at least something several hours before the race for fuel.

“Have half a bagel with peanut butter or a nutrition bar. I make sure I’m hydrated, so I have lots of water about two hours before the race,” he says.

Heit’s advice is certainly reputable; in his many years of running he racked up a ton of training knowledge. When he first began running, Heit happened to know one of the first-place finishers in the Boston Marathon, who gladly told him the tips to running a marathon – which he said would take three years to learn.

“I used to think that was a joke – I mean I thought it was just running,” Heit recalls. “One of the things I learned was that, for me, he was right. There is a thing about learning your pace and about what you can endure.”

For the big 15th milestone, Heit is looking forward to a beautiful race day, considering last year it was cancelled because of the remnants of hurricane Gordon in Florida. The morning of the 2018 Walk, rain pounded down in buckets and the conditions were too unsafe to have walkers and volunteers out on the course. That didn’t keep walkers from having a good time, though.

“On the spot, we decided to turn it into a giant dance party,” Heit says. “We brought everyone into the Philip Heit Center, set up a DJ and brought all the vendors inside – it was so much fun.”

As we chatted about his running days (OK – it was mostly me picking his brain for training tips) it was easy to see how much the Walking Classic really means to Heit, a diehard athlete at heart. While he’s had his success in marathons, evident by the vintage racing shirts hanging above his desk, he wants others to feel how he felt running but with walking.

“I love charities, and 100 percent of the proceeds go to a nonprofit, but I treat the walk as an athletic event,” Heit explains. “These people are athletes, not fundraisers. The charity is you, and I want you to do it for your wellbeing.”

How She Began “I got into it (race walking) in high school. It was an event in indoor track and field. They had me try the event and I ended up really liking it and getting competitive with it. From there, I went to find a coach in college and then flew out to California to train with my current coach. I’ve been doing this for a long time now, I don’t really keep track of it.

If people ask me how many times I’ve competed, I honestly don’t know anymore.

I feel like it’s been such a long road.”

Explaining Race Walking “You follow two basic rules. You have one foot on the ground at all times, which is very different than running.

The other rule is that when your leg strikes the ground, your knee needs to be straight on contact. There are judges watching and if you get three infractions or red cards, you’re disqualified.”

Current Goals “I’m training for the Pan American Games which are in Peru from July 26-

Celebrating 50 Years of Care in Central Ohio

Aug. 11. And I’m also training to make the 2020 Olympics.”

Training Schedule “Today, I actually had a speed workout with seven-kilometer repeats. Later today, I’ll do a separate run and have some stretching and mobility drills. Other days, it’s an easy seven-mile racewalk. I average 80-90 miles a week. On top of that I lift three to four times a week.”

What She Eats “Whatever you put into your body is what you get out of it, so if you’re putting low-quality fast food into it, you’re not going to get what you want out of your body.

I eat lots of vegetables, proteins, fats and carbs. I’m someone who believes in carbs – especially if you’re doing a big endurance event. You need the energy. You have to listen to your body and what it needs.”

Her Race “Right now, there’s a 50-kilometer walk, which is 31 miles. There’s also a 20-kilometer walk, which is 12.4 miles. That’s my race – just about a half marathon for me.”

Favorite Workout Apparel “Whatever makes you look good and feel good!”

Step by Step

How many steps per day does it really take to see results?

By Nathan Collins “How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?” You likely remember the original 1970s television commercial of a boy questioning three different animals about how many licks it takes to get to the center of the popular sucker. The wise old owl takes three licks before biting into it and retuning the empty stick into the boy’s hand.

But how many licks does it really take to get to the center? According to a group of Purdue University engineering students – an average of 252. This got us thinking – who comes up with all of this conventional wisdom? Twenty-one days to create a habit, two minutes for teeth brushing, four minutes and three flips for the perfect pancake and 10,000 steps per day to ensure a healthy lifestyle.

The longest walk around the world was completed by a former neon sign salesman, Jean Beliveau. He walked 46,600 miles around 64 countries.

The trip took him 11 years.

It would take 225 million years to walk one light-year at the pace of a 20-minute mile. One light-year is about 5.9 trillion miles.

Since the inception of the wearable step counter, people have been told that 10,000 steps per day is the minimum goal to improve their longevity. Where did this number come from? Is a minimum of 10,000 steps per day necessary?

The answer may surprise you.

While the World Health Organization, American Heart Foundation and U.S. Department of Health & Human Services all gradually adopted 10,000 steps as a daily activity recommendation, the validity of this number is increasingly being called into question.

In the 1960s, a Japanese company called Yamasa created a product that served as the archetype for the modernday pedometer. The manpo-kei was brought to market in anticipation of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics to promote movement. In Japanese, “man” means 10,000, “po” means steps and “kei” means meter. The 10,000-steps meter marketing campaign was the impetus for what has been considered fitness gospel for the past five decades.

Since this 50-year-old doctrine didn’t actually originate from a bona fide science lab, does the number actually hold up against the science?

A recent study by Harvard Medical School suggests that what we’ve been told for the past 50 years is just a myth.

A decreased risk for early deaths in older women was seen in subjects who accrued only 5,000 steps per day, according to the Harvard study published in the Journal of American Medical Association Internal Medicine.

Over the course of four years, 16,741 women ranging in ages 62-101 wore trackers to measure their step count and speed during daily activity for at least seven consecutive days. The research subjects were required to report to researchers about their lifestyle, diet and medical histories. Of the group, 504 women died during the four-year time period.

Researchers found that women who averaged about 4,400 steps a day had significantly lower mortality rates than those who took only about half as many daily steps. The most active group – 7,500 steps or beyond – had a decreased mortality rate, although no added benefit was recorded with hitting the 10,000 mark.

“I always tell people to start with a base,” says Dr. Phil Heit, executive director and founder of Healthy New Albany. “I don’t care how far you can go. Just start out with a base to see how comfortable you feel at a certain speed.

It’s important to realize that if a person has been living a sedentary lifestyle and suddenly tries to hit 10,000 steps a day without working up to it, they may risk injury.

“I don’t go by numbers. I go by distance and some of the research shows

15,000 steps is actually the baseline we should be targeting,” says Heit.

It’s noteworthy that this particular study only looked a mortality and not quality of life. There is much more research to be done. Other recent studies, such as the University of Warwick’s, published in The International Journal of Obesity, produced results that indicate we may all be stepping ourselves short with the recommended 10,000 steps.

The research showed that individuals who covered at least 15,000 steps a day had normal body mass indexes, waistlines and metabolic profiles.

Walking Hand in Hand Partners of the 15th NAWC

By Emile Lin

Every year, more than 3,000 walkers hit the asphalt to complete the New Albany Walking Classic’s 10K. This event doesn’t happen all on its own, however. For every incarnation of the Walking Classic, dozens of organizations have pooled their efforts to make the enterprise a reality. Their contributions have not gone unnoticed.

Phil Heit, founder of the Walk, gladly shares the ways in which these organizations chipped in for the race.

“There are many different kinds of partnerships,” says Heit. “One that is very important to us is financial support, as it costs a lot of money to organize the event. Another way partners help us is ‘in-kind.’ For example, a restaurant may provide food at the race for participants, or maybe a company may do promotional work and provide us with signage.”

You may have discerned that Heit, in contrast to other executives, speaks of his backers as partners rather than as sponsors. This is no slip of tongue.

For Heit, having a stake in the Walk is more than making a profit.

“When you say ‘sponsor,’ it means you’re usually asking someone to give you money, and then it’s ‘okay goodbye, thank you,’” says Heit. “In a partnership, it’s about working together and looking at what we can do to help New Albany.”

When asked to provide examples of this symbiotic relationship, Heit explains that he always tries to accommodate his partners’ requests. From helping them send emails, to providing specific signage, to organizing a workshop for their employees, Heit believes in “giving back to those who give to (them).”

This philosophy of reciprocity is established as early as during the selection process.

“We’re very specific about who we choose as partners,” says Heit. “The ideal partner must be philanthropic and appreciate the importance of promoting health in the community. Ideological alignment is more important than the, ‘what are we going to get for the dollars we’re putting in’ calculus.”

In short, Heit implies that the secret behind the Walk’s success is not acting on the most advantageous business transactions but to ensure mutual compatibility and respect in all partnerships.

Heit’s partnerships have borne extra fruit this year. The Walk’s 15th anniversary coincides with an expansion of the event. This year, Heit’s group has upgraded its giveaways, including an undisclosed registration surprise. And the virtual walker option returns once more, so that participants can support the cause without making the journey to New Albany.

Walk It Like You Talk It

Walking for 30 minutes a day can keep trips to the doctor at bay

By Tatyana Tandanpolie

Creating a fitness regimen that suits your needs seems hard, especially when you have to build it around a busy schedule. But it might not be as difficult as you think.

You can achieve your fitness goals by doing something simple: walking. That’s right; brisk walking for 30 minutes a day has myriad health benefits, including improving physical fitness and mental health.

Aside from helping you maintain a healthy weight and trim off extra fat, walking daily for 30 minutes increases heart and lung fitness, reduces risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes and high

cityscenecolumbus.com | 2019 New Albany Walking Classic

blood pressure, manages preexisting conditions, and reduces cancer risk.

It also strengthens bones and muscles and can improve your mood. According to Dr. Michael Baria, a sports medicine physician at The Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center, those aren’t the most important health benefits.

“We know that – going from a sedentary baseline – for every 5-10 minutes that you’re active across the week, there’s a significant reduction in all causes of mortality,” says Baria.

Heart Health Brisk walking has a profound impact on heart health, reducing the risk of

cardiovascular disease, stroke, coronary heart disease and nonfatal myocardial infarction.

A 1999 study in the New England Journal of Medicine followed the walking habits of more than 72,000 nurses ages 40-60 years old for eight years and found that brisk walking for at least 30 minutes almost every day reduced the risk of coronary events by 30-40 percent.

The study also says that increasing the intensity of the walk can reduce your risk even more.

“Instead of just maybe going for a stroll, actually increase the pace that you’re walking at, or if you’ve been on flat

terrain for the whole time, maybe start building in some gentle inclines,” he says.

And don’t forget, brisk walking gets the blood pumping, improving circulation and lowering blood pressure and heart rate.

Bone and Joint Health Any moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can improve your bone and joint health, but walking daily can make the otherwise daunting task of exercising much easier.

“It’s a fairly low-impact activity, and you can still get good cardiovascular and a little bit of muscle endurance work out of it without having tremendous loads through the joints,” says Baria.

While it doesn’t make a difference if you walk outside or on a treadmill at the gym, Baria says that tracks and natural surfaces are more forgiving on joints because they’re softer on impact.

Baria says walking even provides some protection against osteoporosis in older women because it helps build up bone density. But as it doesn’t fully involve the upper body, he recommends doing some resistance training to target the bones up top.

Why 30 Minutes?

In the 2nd edition of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion recommends that adults get 150-300 minutes of moderate physical activity every week in order to maximize their health benefits.

While you reap more benefits approaching the 300-minute mark, starting with a 30-minute walk each day works just as well. It doesn’t matter how you achieve that 30 minutes.

If you’re pressed for time, experience pain or just not in the mood, you can split your walk into five-minute bursts and still improve your health.

No matter what’s motivating you to get active, walking 30 minutes a day is a great way to start. So what are you waiting for? Get to steppin’!

SPIRITS

A Delectable Combination:

By Rocco Falleti

LOOKING TO SATISFY your sweet tooth and

mix it with a splash of night life? We have the perfect answer to your summertime cravings with Hadley’s Bar and Kitchen’s Bourbon Maple Milkshake.

This is an extremely popular beverage throughout the summer and fall, but beware… a perfect boozy shake requires both time and patience!

“Pay attention to the amount of liquid you use. You don’t want to add too much but you need enough so it actually blends,” Josh Rice, general manager of Hadley’s Bar and Kitchen, says. “Have patience, it takes a while to sit on the spindle mixer or blender… It sucks to wait, but it’s worth it in the end.” CS20

Art Knows No Bounds

Midwest exhibitions to explore now and in the future

By Jenny Wise COLUMBUS, THOUGH ABUNDANT with edu-

cational and cultural art experiences, isn’t the only Midwestern city to engage art lovers. From the Indianapolis Museum of Art in Indiana to the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, there are countless exciting exhibitions to check out in the Midwest.

Monet and the Modern City

Through Sept. 2, 2019 Carnegie Museum of Art Pittsburgh, PA Claude Monet, known for his bright impressionist landscapes, was also fascinated with the industrial scenes that began to flourish in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Monet and the Modern City is organized by Akemi May, assistant curator of fine arts at Carnegie Museum of Art. “Monet and the Modern City offers many avenues for exploration, from the lively Impressionist cityscapes of Pissarro to the smoky, realistic depictions of Pittsburgh from Laboureur,” says May. The exhibition features pieces from Monet’s Waterloo Bridge: Vision and Process, an exhibition organized by the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester. According to May, the exhibition contextualizes Monet with other artists who responded to the industrial atmosphere and the promise of industry.

ProTip: Carnegie Museum of Art hosts Art Chats from 11:15-11:45 a.m. daily, offering the public a chance to pick the brains of expert curators and further investigate the current exhibitions.

Americana & Folk Art

Sept. 13–Dec. 31, 2019 The Butler Institute of American Art Youngstown, OH The Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown is the first museum of its 38

cityscenecolumbus.com | August 2019

kind, dedicated entirely to American artwork. The Americana & Folk Art exhibition features a variety of pieces including primitive paintings from the colonial era, carousel objects, carvings, ship models, folk art works, decoys and the Butler’s glass bells collection.

Sure to elicit feelings of nostalgia, this exhibit tells the story of America’s yesteryears through its unique components. From the ornate wooden horses of carousels past to the figurehead from a salvaged 19th century ship, there is something interesting around every corner.

Michelangelo: Mind of the Master

Sept. 22 – Jan. 5, 2020 Cleveland Museum of Art Cleveland, OH Michelangelo Buonarroti is arguably one of the most notable and influential artists in the history of Western Art. His creation process relied heavily on sketches and drawings, but the artist burned a great deal of these preliminary works. For the first time ever, a collection of original Michelangelo sketches will be on view in the U.S. at the Cleveland Museum of Art. The collection of nearly 30 sketches, including designs for famed works such as the Sistine Chapel ceiling, the Last Judgement, the tombs of the Medici Chapels and the cupola of Saint Peter’s Basilica, Rome are on loan from the Teylers Museum in the Netherlands. This will be the first time the sketches have left the museum as a collection since their acquisition in 1791 from Queen Christina of Sweden.

ProTip: Museums must close for at least one day of the week to

No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man

clean, move art and complete other necessary maintenance and upkeep. The Cleveland Museum of Art, along with most other museums, close on Mondays for this reason.

No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man

Through Sept. 2, 2019 Cincinnati Art Museum Cincinnati, OH Perhaps one of the largest convergences of artists and creators of all kinds, Burning Man is a cultural movement and a weeklong temporary city of more than 70,000 participants that forms every year in the Black Rock Desert outside Reno, Nevada. It’s also the inspiration for this

6046 TARA HILL DR.

very unique exhibition at the Cincinnati Museum of Art. Organized by Nora Atkinson, the Lloyd Herman curator of craft at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the collection includes interactive over-sized sculptures, jewelry, video and photography.

“The visual culture created in conjunction with the Burning Man gathering each year is a democratic and inclusive model of artistic expression,” says Cameron Kitchin, Cincinnati Art Museum’s Louis and Louise Dieterle Nippert director. “Working with the thinkers and artists who create the culture challenges the very notion of an art museum.”

Infinitely Kusama

Oct. 4, 2019–March 29, 2020 Newfields: Indianapolis Museum of Art Indianapolis, IN In 1965, Yayoi Kusama debuted the first of many immersive Infinity Mirror Room exhibits. Her infinite worlds have since multiplied, saturating Instagram timelines and even inspiring luxury fashion lines.

The first mirror pumpkin room created in 1991, featuring acrylic yellow pumpkins covered in black polka dots, will fill an entire gallery at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Spectators can step into the room and cast infinite reflections, truly becoming part of the exhibition.

In a New Light: Alice Schille and the American Watercolor Movement

Through Sept. 29, 2019 Columbus Museum of Art Columbus, OH Don’t forget about the local scene! In honor of Alice Schille’s 150th birthday, the Columbus native’s work will be on view through the end of September. More than 50 works of pure-wash water color, organized by CMA and guest curators Jim and Tara Keny, highlight Schille’s time spent traveling, her support of the women’s suffrage movement and scenes of everyday life. Schille was unique in that she received much critical acclaim and support from other artists at a time when it was extremely challenging to be accepted as a woman in the industry.

The Heart of it All

Ohio’s role in sports history shines in new exhibit

By Rocco Falleti

IT’S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to walk through The

Ohio State University campus and not be welcomed with a loud and passionate, “OH!” and the requisite, “IO!” shouted back.

While the Buckeyes reign supreme in central Ohio, a new exhibit at the Ohio History Connection spotlights some of the moments that Ohio athletes have had an impact on national sports.

“We wanted to really put into focus how Ohio factors into American sports history,” says Emmy Beach, public relations and content marketing, assistant director at the Ohio History Connection. “We really can’t tell the comprehensive history of sports without Ohio.”

Relationship building

Instead of simply showcasing historic items behind glass and providing information from curators, Ohio Champion of Sports engages audiences with more than 70 firsthand accounts and 35 oral histories.

It’s a direct reflection of the Ohio History Connection’s larger mission: to become a newer kind of history center.

“At the heart of what we do, we really want to represent history’s relevance today through personal stories that relate to the human conditions,” Beach says. “We focused on six major themes that are relatable no matter what walk of life you come from.”

Those six themes are character, adversity, innovation, identity, tradition and victory.

Whether it is Jesse Owen’s daughter talking about her father’s international star power, Buster Douglas’s knockout victory against the seemingly unbeatable Mike Tyson, or an inside look at the fast-paced and tactical nature of Ohio Women’s roller derby, these first-hand stories are meant to evoke compassion and determination.

“We want Ohioans to feel like they are a part of this exhibit,” Beach says. “So often, we are characterized by the sports teams

Learning First Hand

and traditions with our families around those experiences.”

Visitors can test their skills at the Wall of Hoops, record their own victory dance, run an obstacle course, and even document their own ‘one minute legends’ in which they can share their own sports story with family and friends.

“It is a way to make (the exhibit) more engaging, more interactive and unexpected,” Beach says. “Ohio seems to have a national impact across a lot of spectrums and when you talk about sports, entertainment or even technology, it all comes back to Ohio.” CS20 Rocco Falleti is an assistant editor.
