first glance

Grilled A picture is worth a thousand words.

Seeing me in my King of the Grill apron certainly will elicit thoughts of one hovering over hamburgers sizzling above the glowing charcoal below. With each drop of fat that makes contact with the coals, that charred scent emanating from the billowing smoke makes one begin to salivate. The end result is a hockey puck-sized burger squeezed inside a bun dripping with fat and just waiting to be devoured.

Such is life in the summer months as barbecue grills get fired up, and families and friends gather to partake in the popular ritual of outdoor char-grilling.

If you think that my photo accurately depicts my endorsement of the aforementioned scenario, I understand. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words. Or is it?

At one time, I was an advocate of outdoor grilling, especially for preparing hamburgers and hot dogs. Do not be fooled.

While I might be perceived by some as a barbecue addict – as depicted in this photo – my preferences no longer are hamburgers and hot dogs. Ongoing research indicates the dangers of PAHs and HCAs, as these compounds are linked to the possible development of cancer. These two compounds form when fat from meat drips onto the coals below, causing flames to rise to the meat, resulting in charring. Unfortunately, the charring that forms on the meat contains these dangerous compounds.

But alas, the King of the Grill is smarter today than he was yesterday. Still keen on grilling, I now have taken steps to reduce my exposure to cancer-causing agents. I swap out highfat foods such as hot dogs and hamburgers for those lower in fats, such as skinless chicken and salmon. These items share space on the grill with an assortment of vegetables, and the main goal is to promote healthful grilling.

For more grilling tips, please be sure to read our feature about healthful barbecue sauces. But for now, I hope I continue to be what my apron indicates, minus the hamburgers.

Healthfully,

Phil Heit, Executive Editor

my story

A Leaner Lifestyle D

id living in New Albany save my life? While this question might seem a bit dramatic, I will let you be the judge.

I moved my family to New Albany in February 2007. My wife, Ellen, and I fell in love with the look of the community and the wonderful amenities that the city provides.

I have been physically active on and off most of my life. I had purchased a road bike a number of years before we moved here, but never really rode it, and when I played golf, I more often sat in a cart instead of walking. I would work out some and do a bit of running – nothing really regular – and I never watched what I ate. I would eat whatever I felt like when I felt like it.

In addition, I race my 1991 Camaro, very old school, with the Sports Car Club of America at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. The SCCA requires physical exams to maintain your racing license. In 2008, when I got my physical, my doctor informed me I had high blood pressure. In disbelief, I asked him to take it again, and he did – with the same results. I couldn’t understand what was going on. I never had high blood pressure, although I do have very bad family history on my father’s side. He had high blood pressure for most of his life and died of a heart attack at age 55.

My doctor immediately wanted to put me on blood pressure medications, but I wasn’t interested. I asked him what else

10

I could do. He mentioned the usual: lose weight, cut down on salt and get more regular exercise. He said, “You can try, but come back in three months, and we will put you on the medication at that time.” He didn’t provide any advice or suggest reasonable goals. I left his office pretty determined to “fix” this problem.

I found the book Body for Life by Bill Phillips, and decided I would give it a try.

No one else had any better suggestions, so I figured what the heck. I also mentioned my goals to some friends and my family, and I went down this road with their amazing support. This really wasn’t that hard. I started working out every day with a combination of aerobic and strength exercises. In addition, I started to watch what I ate, which included lots of lean protein, vegetables and minimal junk food carbs.

I also really paid attention to how much I was consuming of the high-fat foods that I loved.

I lost about 50 pounds in 90 days, and when I returned to the doctor, my blood pressure was normal. He was shocked.

He then mentioned that losing weight is the easy part; keeping it off is the challenge. I

thought, well great. I did all this work, and I felt like I was just getting started.

This is where living in New Albany comes in. We are a very healthy and active community. As a result of working out, I was able to develop great friendships with neighbors and others that have allowed me to continue to be very active.

New Albany provides amazing access to great cycling and running, and it seems like everyone is always doing something which really provides the support to stay active. There is always a group lining up at Starbucks to do a bike ride or a friend who wants to go on a run or a walk.

It has been six years, and I have been able to maintain my weight and have had no issues with blood pressure. I am certain that the amazing community that we live in provided the motivation to maintain my healthy lifestyle.

Bikes and Banking Huntington’s head honcho pushes Pelotonia participation – and employee wellness

Photo courtesy of Steve Steinour

W

hen Steve Steinour became chairman, president and CEO of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated in January 2009, he wanted to improve more than just the struggling company’s financial health.

Six and a half years later, he’s not only reversed the bank’s money-losing trends, he’s made major efforts to improve employees’ wellness and their attitudes toward it.

Steinour, 57, lives in New Albany with his wife, Patti. The couple have two grown children.

Though it would be an understatement to call the company’s wellness program – started in 2010 under Steinour’s leadership – multifaceted, one of the central components to it is Huntington’s strong participation in and support of Pelotonia. The evidence is abundant; logos are visible all throughout the company’s downtown Columbus corporate headquarters, and a video on Huntington’s involvement in the ride plays on a continuous loop on the executive floor.

The massive bike ride that raises money for The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Institute was not yet one year old when Steinour took an interest in it.

“We wanted to create … an activity that we would do corporately that would have a wellness component to it,” he says.

Steinour was impressed with the ride’s mission and with the work of Dr. Michael Caligiuri, director of the James, and worked with company leadership to incorporate it into the wellness program and encourage participation.

That first year, the Huntington team had 50 riders. Now, it sports about 1,200 cyclists – of whom, Steinour estimates, about 1,100 got into cycling because of Pelotonia.

“I love what it’s doing for the company; it has a broad impact,” says Steinour. “They don’t have to, but people get really into it.”

Pelotonia made sense for Huntington because the company’s wellness program is intended to promote not just exercise, but collaborative spirit and morale. Steinour has observed the effect on group dynamics firsthand as he has taken part in training rides – some of which have swelled to as many as 400 riders – leading up to the big event each year.

“I have a different conversation on the seat of a bicycle than I do in the seat in my office,” he says.

Employees are invited from all Huntington markets – not just Columbus – to ride in Pelotonia. Employees are usually photographed during the race, and the pictures are then posted in community rooms throughout the main Huntington building.

Motioning around a conference room on the executive floor, Steinour says, “We have nearly 100 (photos) throughout this room.”

The spirit of collaboration extends beyond the walls of Huntington’s HQ and branches, Steinour says. Huntington invites employees of companies that bank with it to join in on rides and helps them get involved, often leading them to form their own Pelotons in later years. It even brings in Columbus College of Art and Design students to design custom riding jerseys.

Of course, as Pelotonia only comes once a year, there are innumerable other facets of Huntington’s wellness program: biometric screenings, physicals, tobacco cessation, flu shots, weight loss programs, walking challenges (for which the company gives out pedometers), a mindfulness program, calorie counting, healthful recipes, a corporate match for health savings accounts, health facilities in some buildings and more.

Steve Steinour on the executive floor of Huntington’s downtown Columbus headquarters, just a few feet away from where a video on the company’s Pelotonia participation plays on a continuous loop.

Offering these types of programs benefits the company, just as it benefits employees; it’s always better to have more productive employees and lower health care costs, Steinour says.

And the company has put a lot of effort into rolling out programs to appeal to employees without making them uncomfortable: rewards programs, voluntary reporting, etc. Big changes have been phased in slowly and accompanied by options for employees to ease transitions – think changing the cafeteria menus and vending machine offerings, or going to a tobaccofree campus.

Before he came to Huntington in 2009, Steinour was managing partner of Boston-based CrossHarbor Capital Partners. Prior to that, he was president and CEO of Citizens Financial Group, headquartered in Providence, R.I. He has also held leadership positions at Fleet Financial Group and the Bank of New England.

He holds a degree in economics from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania and is a graduate of the Stanford Executive Program at Stanford University.

Besides the major health and wellness changes – and changing the bank from a money-loser into a growth bank, www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

no small feat – Steinour turned Huntington into one of the country’s largest Small Business Administration lenders and implemented the bank’s 24-Hour Grace policy on overdrafts.

He only got into biking for Pelotonia, but cycling has quickly become Steinour’s preferred form of exercise, completely replacing golf in his busy schedule.

“In a good year, I’ll ride a couple thousand miles,” he says.

Even when riding for recreation, he appreciates the togetherness the activity foments, often riding with his wife or son, or with Caligiuri and his team. The family is also a part of frequent walks, aided by New Albany’s impressive trail network, and will “occasionally hit a few tennis balls, too,” Steinour says.

“New Albany is such a wonderful community to get out and get active,” he says.

Economic development is another big part of Steinour’s life. He’s a trustee on the board of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and the

Columbus Downtown Development Corporation, and also recently helped to launch a multi-state economic development conference driven by the Columbus Partnership.

He and Patti are co-chairing campaigns for the United Way of Central Ohio and the Community Shelter Board, and Patti maintains a high level

of involvement in CCAD. And the whole family gets in on volunteering for a YWCA shelter.

Partnerships grow in New Albany Community Garden

S

ome of the produce from this year’s New Albany Community Garden will go to those in need, thanks to partnerships between the garden, the Village Coalition Against Hunger and New Albany-Plain Local Schools.

Last year, the coalition and garden were the recipients of a Scotts MiracleGro grant, from Scotts Urban Garden Academy, that allowed them to grow produce for those in need. This year,

the coalition will again have two 4-by16-foot plots, and garden volunteers will tend to another two plots. All the produce will go to the coalition.

“There’s a lot in the works,” says Angela Douglas, interim director of the coalition.

The coalition is working with the school district to distribute produce to families in the district with students in the free and reduced price lunch www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

program. Every other week following the New Albany Farmers Market, volunteers will distribute bags of food to families in need. The food will be gathered from the garden produce as well as from market vendor donations.

Pamela Charles, food service coordinator for the school district, says the district will send letters to families with students in the federal lunch program to notify them of the available produce. The food, however, will be available to all families, regardless if they are part of the district or not.

“You never know if you’re going to need something,” Charles says.

This is not the first time that the two entities have worked together to provide food for students. For the last two years, the coalition has provided snacks for children in the elementary buildings.

Patrick Gallaway, director of communications for the district, says the district is thrilled to have another opportunity to work with the coalition to provide additional support to students.

The product partnership required some preparation. In April, coalition volunteers planted spinach, kale, peas and carrots. In May they planted tomatoes, potatoes and peppers, among other vegetables.

The garden’s dedicated coalition plots for spring included lettuce, radishes, carrots, chard, beets and cabbage, says Nanette Nardi Triplett, president of the garden. Summer plots include corn, peppers, green beans, cucumber, zucchini and tomatoes.

Other community organizations have also been utilizing the garden.

en’s Network board member and past president Jennifer Glover.

In the past, members and their families had maintained the NAWN plot. This year, however, Glover approached board members to ask for permission to let her Girl Scout Daisy troop use the garden for a community service project.

Ten first-grade girls – including Glover’s daughter, Charlotte – planted flowers in early April. They used their own troop funds to purchase seeds

and dirt. Daisies, of course, were included. NAWN had always donated what it grew, and the Girl Scouts planned to do the same this year. The project, Glover says, fit in nicely with the lessons the girls were learning about community service and using resources wisely.

“It all tied together,” Glover says.

The girls will give their flowers to New Albany firefighters, police and library personnel in thanks for their service. The Girl Scouts’ work has 17

helped earn them each a petal, a special badge for their service. The petals combine to create a flower.

For her part, Glover says the cooperation across community groups is what makes New Albany unique.

“I really appreciate and value that collaboration,” she says.

While water was originally collected in rain barrels, a grant awarded two years ago from the Aetna Foundation allowed for the addition of a well and water pump.

The garden includes 52 plots that are dedicated for personal use. People grow vegetables and flowers, Nardi Triplett says, including tomatoes, peppers, zenia, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and radishes. Last year’s harvest included potatoes, corn and sunflowers.

The front of the garden includes an herb area for the city’s service department’s personal use. Nardi Triplett says the herbs were also given to chefs for use in the cooking classes carried out at the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany.

Last year, the garden yielded a total of 51.4 pounds of produce, Nardi Triplett says.

Nardi Triplett hopes the produce can be better protected this year with the addition of a fence around the garden, which will help reduce animal consumption. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Always Evolving

Market Square continues to grow as a community destination

H

ow quickly things can change.

Last year at this time, the city had just closed the intersection of Market and Main streets to traffic, our 55,000-square-foot Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany was still under construction and neither Mellow Mushroom nor Hudson 29 Kitchen + Drink was open to the public yet.

Less than a year later, the streetscape along Main Street between Market Street and Village Hall Road has been transformed.

Our Market and Main roundabout has been open for nearly 10 months now. To help residents navigate it, city staff created a roundabout brochure, which is available at Village Hall and the library. A recent traffic study indicated that 95 percent of vehicles are traveling at less than 22 miles per hour through the roundabout; speeds are significantly slower than when this intersection was signalized.

The Heit Center, our community’s health destination, is now open to the public. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s Fitness Cen-

There are many walks, runs, and cycling events throughout the summer months, including the New Albany Independence Day 5K Walk and Run, the A&F Challenge, Pelotonia and the New Albany Walking Classic.

The last component of the Heit Center, 55,000 square feet of community space managed by Healthy New Albany, hosts many community wellness activities and offers a new place for residents to simply relax. Groups, families and individuals can even rent space inside the Heit Center by calling 614-685-6344. If you haven’t yet visited the center to see its fitness and wellness offerings, you should.

Foot traffic generated by the Heit Center helped facilitate new development in the surrounding area for all residents and visitors to enjoy. Mellow Mushroom opened in late 2014, and Hudson 29 opened in April. These are great new Market Square additions to complement other nearby restaurants such as Rusty Bucket, Starbucks, Ella and Eagles Pizza.

With summer now in full swing, many community activities will generate even more hustle and bustle in and around our Village Center. Healthy New Albany’s Farmers Market is at Market Square every Thursday through Sept.

17. These markets last from 4-7 p.m., with more than 60 vendors and food trucks offering produce, baked goods, locally made cheese, honey, coffee and many hand-crafted products. Most of the edible items are certified organic or all-natural.

In July, the Village Center will play host once again to our Independence Day 5K, parade, festival and fireworks.

Our most popular community events of the year come with the fall weather.

On Aug. 2, the New Albany Chamber of Commerce hosts its annual Taste of New Albany event in Market Square. On Aug. 8-9, Pelotonia, which has raised more than $85 million to end cancer, returns to town. On Sept. 13 will be the biggest walking-only race in the country, the 11th annual New Albany Walking Classic, which helps fund activities within the Heit Center.

In addition to those Village Center events, the A&F Challenge will take place on Sept. 11 around the Abercrombie & Fitch campus. This event www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

John Glenn

Senator Glenn shares his wellness habits In a new section in Healthy New Albany Magazine, we talk to prominent national or community figures who have made their mark on Columbus in some way and learn about what they do on a regular basis to stay healthy. Healthy New Albany Magazine had a chance to talk with Sen. John Glenn and get his opinions on living well at any age.

Healthy New Albany Magazine: To what in your lifestyle do you attribute your longevity? What advice would you give to others to enhance lifelong wellbeing and quality of life?

Sen. John Glenn: Best thing I can advise for longevity is to pick good parents! I think the genes you inherit probably have more to do with longevity than anything else. Beyond that, keeping a healthy lifestyle with exercise on a daily basis probably does more than anything else to foster longevity.

HNA: Are there any foods that you avoid or emphasize?

JG: I try to keep a broad-based diet and keep my weight under control.

HNA: What are your favorite ways to stay active?

JG: (It’s natural to) want to sit around with too much inactivity. Best advice is to just get going and do it!

John and Annie Glenn at an event celebrating the John Glenn School of Public Affairs becoming a college at The Ohio State University this year

HNA: How did you stay healthy in space?

JG: On both space flights I was on, the food was very carefully selected for a balanced diet, and regular exercise periods on a space version of the exercise bicycle were scheduled every day in space.

HNA: What do you like to do to relax?

JG: I like to relax by listening to recorded books and watching some of the information and discussion channels on television.

Two-Seated Travel Tandem biking is popular for those who want a workout buddy

“Y

ou’ll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.”

This lyric from the late 1800s folk song “Daisy Bell” refers to a vision that lately is becoming more common in New Albany: tandem bicycles.

Cyclists on the roads and paths in New Albany are as familiar to residents as white fences, but the sight of a tandem bicycle can still turn heads. As local enthusiasm for tandem cycling grows, seeing a couple getting their exercise on a tandem bicycle may become more commonplace.

Tandem bicycles solve a problem that many couples face: They want to exercise together, but varying abilities or

26

interests do not allow them to do so easily. New Albany resident Greg Huddle is a cycling enthusiast, and while his wife, Pat, works as a physical therapist and loves to exercise, cycling wasn’t something they shared until they tried a tandem bicycle.

“We wouldn’t be doing single biking together; this is the only way we can bike together,” Pat says.

Resident Christine Ginder and her husband, Don, started tandem cycling for a similar reason.

“With separate bikes, Don would have to keep slowing down waiting for me to catch up to him,” Christine says.

Greg and Pat Huddle

Despite their similar athletic pursuits and interests, residents Kasey and Rebecca Kist rarely rode together before riding a tandem bicycle.

“We knew couples that would ride tandems and always thought that would be a blast. We borrowed a friend’s, took it out for a little 10-mile ride around town and loved it,” Kasey says.

The front rider on a tandem is known as the captain or pilot, and the rear rider is the stoker. Like in any relationship, communication between the two riders is key. Steering, braking and gear www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

always a backseat person in life, but on this bike, I’m happy to let Don take charge. It works out really well.”

Tandem bicycles can go just about any place a solo bicycle can go. The tandem bicycles are heavier, but with two riders giving equal effort, the tandem can go as fast as or faster than a solo rider.

While the Huddles ride their bike primarily in and around New Albany, the Ginders often load their bike into their van and participate in different tours or ride on rails-to-trails all throughout Ohio.

Both the Ginders and the Kists have ridden their tandem bicycles in Pelotonia. The Kists rode theirs in Pelotonia last year and were rewarded with an unforgettable experience.

“It was the best Pelotonia I’ve had yet. It was a blast, and we’re doing it again this year,” Kasey says.

His wife agrees.

“Kasey and I had so much fun, and in some ways it was kind of like we were on a date,” she says.

Christine and Don Ginder

changes all require interaction between the riders, and the onus is primarily on the captain.

For her part, Rebecca prefers to ride as the stoker.

“It’s a lot easier for me overall,” she says. “Kasey’s the one that has to pay attention to what’s going on around us, and I just have to pedal hard and enjoy the scenery.”

Working together becomes easier with practice.

“The more you ride, the more it becomes subconscious, and you don’t have to verbalize the commands,” Rebecca says.

For a couple to be successful on a tandem bicycle, the riders must be comfortable in their roles.

“You can’t both want to be the captain. The personalities have to be a match for it,” Christine says. “I’m not www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

While riding a tandem bicycle is inherently more social because it allows for easier conversation and proximity, it isn’t simply a leisurely adventure; the exercise benefits that riding provides are an important part of the experience.

“Tandem requires a little more strength and a little more balance,” Greg says.

Don agrees. While tandem biking is a bit harder than riding solo, he and his wife enjoy the workout.

Comfort is also an important factor.

“You’ve got to have the bike fit correctly. If it’s not fit correctly, it’s very uncomfortable,” says Pat. For comfort, the Ginders ride a recumbent tandem bicycle, which means that they are in a more reclined sitting position while they ride.

“It’s a lot of fun,” says Christine. “We enjoy being together, we laugh a lot, we have a good time, we have a good workout and we get out in nature. We love it.”

Foods for Fitness

By David Allen Food photos by Sarah Sole

The Clever-Blending Story The right ingredients can make smoothies tasty and healthful for you

680, 493, 448 and 964: These are a handful of calorie counts that correspond to some of the most popular smoothies on a well-known smoothie vendor’s menu.

Fortunately, it’s easy to create healthful smoothies at home that taste great without packing a hefty number of calories.

What you put in them is key, says Lauren Blake, a registered dietician with The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

“Fruit smoothies can be very healthy if you use the right ingredients,” Blake says.

Using whole fruits and vegetables along with protein and healthful fat is the best way to ensure your smoothies include a hefty dose of vitamins and minerals, Blake says. Frozen dark cherries and wild blueberries, for example, include antioxidants that can fight against disease.

“Every food offers different nutrients, so be sure to switch up the produce you put into your smoothies,” she says.

The Base Skip fruit juice and stick to whole fruit, which contains the fiber important for satiety and blood sugar control. The difference between the two can be striking. One cup of orange juice has almost twice the sugar as a whole orange.

Select whole, preferably unprocessed fruit such as apples, oranges, mangos, plums and even kiwis. One of the big problems with smoothies is their high sugar content, and 30

www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

choosing fruit based on glycemic index, a way of measuring one’s impact on blood sugar and insulin, can be a way to mediate this.

“Picking fruit with a low glycemic index, such as apples and pears, can help control your blood sugar spiking,” Blake says.

An apple, for instance, has a score of 39, while a banana has a score of 62.

Dates have a score of 42, while grapefruit has an extremely low score of 25.

Pears have an average score of 38.

Fruits can also help sweeten your smoothie.

“Use a pitted date to sweeten your smoothie,” Blake says. “Dates are a whole food carbohydrate that are packed with fiber and nutrients.”

The Greens Vegetables are low in calories and carbohydrates and high in fiber, which

makes them a great addition to any smoothie, Blake says.

Many veggies can be blended into smoothies with only minor changes to the overall flavor. Those new to “green” smoothies can find spinach to be a safe bet, but kale, beets, cucumber and carrots are also viable options.

Carrots, which have a low glycemic index score of 35, are a nice way to mitigate blood sugar.

A small amount of hummus also is a smart choice. While chock full of healthful fat, it also holds an incredibly low score of 6.

The Stuff to Avoid Blake recommends that people avoid using fruit juice or fruit juice concentrate, ice cream or sherbet in smoothies.

“These smoothies give you a mega dose of simple sugar and are usually much higher in calories,” she says.

Sweeteners such as agave nectar, honey or maple sugar should also be avoided, as they are just simple, concentrated carbohydrates.

The Bottom Line Choose smoothie ingredients wisely. It’s best to make smoothies with 2-3 servings of fruit, around 2 servings of vegetables and some healthful protein or fat, Blake says.

inding gainful employment can be a daunting task for any young adult. But individuals on the autism spectrum can face their own set of unique challenges.

New Albany-based nonprofit Lettuce Work, started in 2007, helps children and teenagers on the autism spectrum transition from high school to the working world.

Lettuce Work offers those individuals the opportunity to work in a commercial greenhouse and produce salad mixes.

The nonprofit prides itself on its school-to-work transition services, including job training and employment opportunities.

“The amount of self-confidence and independence (is inspiring). These kids are proud of the work they’re doing,” says Executive Director Doug Sharp. “Knowing we’re making progress is really rewarding.”

Lettuce Work provides personalized attention to each of its 10-20 workers. Due to the wide range of levels on the autism spectrum, each individual has specific needs.

Coaches, supervisors and trainers are all available to help the young adults with workplace behaviors and routines as well as acceptable communication skills.

Sharp and his wife, Lettuce Work Program Director Julie Sharp, hope other parents can do their best to plan ahead for their autistic children by engaging in programs such as Lettuce Work. They find inspiration in their autistic son and an improved future for programs that help those with disabilities better integrate into society.

“We’re motivated to look towards what the future may look like for our son,” Sharp says. “Whether it’s Lettuce Work or another social enterprise like this, we need more organizations to help those with disabilities.”

Sharp is encouraged by success stories such as one autistic boy who needed his father’s assistance every day, but now works independently, earning a paycheck and driving himself to his job. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Changing the Future of Orthopedic Surgery.

Outpatient joint replacement, preservation, orthopedic and spine procedures.

A Lettuce Work associate tends to plants.

The success stories are an “encouraging thing to hear,” he says.

“That’s what keeps us going.”

The future of Lettuce Work includes plans to triple in size as well as branch out into other types of jobs and involvement opportunities. Sharp advises families with children on the spectrum to plan earlier for their future with programs such as Lettuce Work.

“People wait too long, and all of a sudden, they find themselves with an adult child at home after high school, and they didn’t make any plans,” he says. “The earlier you can plan out the next phase in their life, the better.”

BBQ To-Dos

By Taylor Weis

Nutrition professional Jim Warner shares ways to inject some nutrition into summer barbecues 34

W

hether it’s Memorial Day, the Fourth of July or just an average evening, someone, somewhere is grilling out during the summer.

Unfortunately, this summertime staple can come with some notable pitfalls.

Often, food that’s prepared on a grill is high in fat and cholesterol, and traditional barbecue sauces can contain many unhealthful ingredients.

Eating these foods in moderation is fine, but when eaten in excess, they can result in a number of health issues, such as obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and increased risk for heart disease. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

In an effort to reduce these health concerns, Jim Warner, programming director for the food and nutrition services at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, teaches a class on healthful barbecuing tactics.

“What we’re trying to promote is using leaner custom meats such as chicken breast and pork tenderloin,” Warner says. “And we’re using fresh herbs, natural juices – even Samuel Adams beer as a marinade – to use the natural acidity of these fresher and healthier foods to help break down the protein structure of the meat and reduce grill time.”

Marinating meat with these rubs and marinades is a great way to reduce the high fructose corn syrup and sodium that’s often found in barbecue sauce, Warner says. Making sure people are aware of these other options can result in many health benefits.

“We also try to promote using leaner meats because they need less time cooking, so we don’t get that heavyduty char,” Warner says. “There’s some evidence that shows when meats are burned on the grill, they can (develop) carcinogenic properties.”

Warner’s class on healthful barbecuing is just one of many in a series of programming the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany has planned for the community this summer. The classes span a wide range of cooking topics, including plant-based cooking, diabetes control and cooking for couples. “(I try to) show people practical ways that they can cook food, shop for food, read labels and actually be a better consumer and smarter home cook,” Warner says. “I give them the skills that they need to make better food choices.”

Center of Attention Heit Center has become popular for more than just health and fitness

W

hile the professionals inside the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany are a resource for the community, the building itself has also proven to be a boon.

The Heit Center has become a popular meeting spot for a variety of functions. Mike Durik, interim director for the Heit Center, says he’s pleasantly surprised at how many organizations and individuals are renting space.

The center’s conference room, kitchen, classroom, patio and fireplace are available to be rented, says Abbey Brooks, programming manager at the center. Brooks advises those interested to reserve spaces at least one month in advance.

Since the building’s opening in February, the Heit Center has received

about 120 paid room reservations.

Many people are attracted to the facility’s layout and finishes.

“You don’t have to dress it up,” Brooks says.

A number of local businesses have already used the center to hold trainings and presentations, she says. The New Albany Rotary Club and New Albany Chamber of Commerce hold monthly meetings there, several homeowners’ associations have held annual meetings and New Albany’s Village Coalition Against Hunger has also used the facility. Other suburban cities, intrigued by the facility, have requested tours.

The central location of the Heit Center was what made it a good choice for the Chamber’s monthly meetings, says Cherie Nelson, executive director.

“The room we utilize has state-ofthe-art presentation technology, and the adjoining kitchen allows us to have lunch catered for the meeting as well,” Nelson says. Angela Douglas, interim

director of the coalition, says the group held a community meeting in front of the hearth in the Heit Center’s lounge area.

Board members, along with the public, were invited to the event, which had about 25 people in attendance.

“It was a great facility, very welcoming and casual, which was the perfect setting for our forum,” Douglas says.

The lounge has worked for those organizations looking for a more relaxed atmosphere for their events, and the fireplace lends the area an intimate feel, Brooks says. The kitchen has been popular for organizations looking to serve meals during events.

“It’s just a very logical and attractive space,” Brooks says.

In April, the Ohio Nutrition Council and the Columbus Dietetic Association each used the center’s kitchen to host www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

events. The Ohio Nutrition Council was primarily drawn to the location because of the kitchen and the center’s wellness staff resources, Brooks says.

Around that same time, New Albany-Plain Local School District Superintendent April Domine hosted a community chat in front of the fireplace in the lounge.

Patrick Gallaway, director of communications for the schools, says the district thought the Heit Center would be a perfect venue for one of the district’s chats, in which staffers talk to the community about issues important to parents. They typically meet at different locations across the district.

“I’m sure we’ll go back, because it was a great location for it,” Gallaway says.

In perhaps the biggest example of the center’s potential for community gathering space, the Columbus School for Girls’ lacrosse team used the building in a variety of ways during a teambuilding event. Team members used the conference room for a meeting area, ate breakfast in the kitchen, did a group craft together in the classroom and took a yoga class.

“They used the facility to its fullest,” Brooks says.

The community has also been using the center as a space for social gatherings. Parties for birthdays, babies, graduations, wedding anniversaries and wedding showers have been held at the Heit Center. And since the lounge is available to the community when it is not booked for events, individuals can use the space in their free time as well. Many people use the space to eat lunch, and mothers who come to the center for story time sit and chat together while their children are playing.

e’ve all heard it before: “Stop cracking your knuckles or you’ll get arthritis.”

Though it’s used as a scare tactic to dissuade young children from developing the annoying habit, is there really any truth to this saying?

Dr. Keith Berend of Joint Implant Surgeons, Inc. addresses this myth and provides helpful information and advice on preventing arthritis, lessening joint pain and maintaining a healthy weight when joints are too sore for a proper exercise regimen. He also shares how lifestyle choices play a role in the development of arthritis.

What are some warning signs that you may develop arthritis later in life, or that you have already developed it? Are there any common symptoms that most people ignore?

The most common symptoms or warning signs of arthritis are pain and stiffness. The symptom I see ignored or diagnosed incorrectly is groin pain related to arthritis of the hip. Patients – especially active, younger patients – will frequently attribute the groin pain of arthritis of the hip to a hernia, so-called “sports-hernia,” groin pull or piriformis syndrome. Arthritis, or degenerative joint disease, is a progressive disease that is not life-threatening, however, so ignoring the symptoms until they affect quality of life does not make things worse.

Arthritis is a result of several factors, such as genetics and lifestyle. How can you be proactive? Is it ever too early to see a doctor?

It’s never too early to see a physician when a patient has joint pain. But, unfortunately we do not have anything available that can change the natural history of the disease. The best way to be proactive is weight management, as obesity is strongly associated with severity of arthritis and severity of symptoms. Staying active with exercise, conditioning and low-impact sports is a great way to literally keep the joints moving, reduce the symptoms of degenerative joint disease and perhaps slow its progression or prevent it altogether.

Can your job increase your chance of developing arthritis, especially if you sit all day or do a lot of manual labor? What are the best ways to address this?

With the exception of an actual injury, I do not believe that arthritis is a result of one’s occupation. Sedentary jobs, however, can be associated with weight gain and reconditioning, so staying in shape and avoiding weight gain are important.

Many experts, such as Harvard Health, have disproven the rumor that cracking your joints can cause arthritis. If you do crack your joints, are there any repercussions?

Realistically, no. Simply cracking your knuckles does not cause damage.

But if the old saying “it only hurts when I do this” applies, then “don’t do that anymore” may be true. If a certain repetitive motion causes pain, avoiding that motion is important, and an evaluation for painful popping or cracking related to pain is advised. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Healthful eating is recommended by all health professionals, but does it have any effect on those who suffer from arthritis?

What foods are harmful? What foods help?

Multiple studies have demonstrated the harmful effects of sugar on not only metabolism and weight gain, but also joint pain. Limiting sugar intake, particularly processed foods that substitute sugar or corn syrup for fat, can have a positive effect on the symptoms of arthritis. As with most chronic diseases, a well-rounded diet with fruits and vegetables has a positive effect on the body. Some researchers recommend omega-3 fatty acids – fish oil – and calcium for helping symptoms of arthritis. This may or may not be directly beneficial, but these supplements can help overall well-being and are certainly worth trying.

“This is the double-edged sword.

Obesity is not as simple as calories in, calories out. I recommend low-impact activities for my patients with arthritis, regardless of weight. So swimming, water aerobics, elliptical machine, cycling, stationary bike or recumbent bike can burn calories.”

BET WE CAN MAKE YOU SMILE.

Obesity is another cause of arthritis, but if individuals already have pain in their joints, it might be hard for them to exercise and maintain a healthy weight. What advice would you give someone in this situation?

This is the double-edged sword.

Obesity is not as simple as calories in, calories out. I recommend low-impact activities for my patients with arthritis, regardless of weight. So swimming, water aerobics, elliptical machine, cycling, stationary bike or recumbent bike can burn calories. The problem is one of where the calories come from. In a recent documentary, Fed Up, the researchers give the example of almonds versus regular soda. If you eat 160 calories of almonds, it takes a long time to burn that off, and the fiber and fat in the almonds helps the body use those calories in a positive way. If you drink 160 calories from a can of soda, those calories are almost immediately burned by the liver, increasing insulin production and directly transferring calories into fat.

Are there ways people can lessen their joint pain without medicine?

Physical therapy, low-impact exercise, bracing and ice/heat are all conservative options for treating the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis

What’s the difference between arthritis that is manageable and arthritis that is more severe?

A Drive for Awareness Arthritis Foundation’s auto show will feature 50 classes of automobiles

It boils down to the symptoms. A patient can have mild X-ray findings and terrible pain, or vice versa. The bottom line is managing symptoms to maintain quality of life.

Obviously, arthritis causes the body a great deal of pain, but can it have any emotional or mental repercussions?

Yes, chronic pain can have a deleterious effect on a patient’s mood and mental health. In addition, patients will frequently decrease their activity level to avoid pain. They find themselves not doing the things they enjoy because of the pain. Pain at night from the inflammation of arthritis can really disrupt a patient’s emotional well-being as well.

Are there areas of the body you are more likely to develop arthritis? What areas cause less concern?

Knees, hands, spine, hips and shoulders, in that order. Any symptomatic joint that causes a decrease in quality of life is concerning. It’s the effect the disease has on the quality of life that matters.

Are there any risk factors that people tend to overlook, or might not know about?

Obesity and injury are the two factors that are possible risks. Otherwise, the way we are made, our routine activities and our genes are to blame.

n July 10 and 11, Dublin Metro Center will be bustling with classic car enthusiasts and impressive vehicles that may spark a longing for decades past.

However, the Arthritis Foundation’s Classic Auto Show & Cruise-In isn’t just about showing off automobiles and enjoying live performances and food.

As the name suggests, the event benefits the Central Ohio Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation, the largest existing private, nonprofit organization dedicated to research on the more than 100 types of arthritis. The Arthritis Foundation aims to help the approximately 486,000 central Ohio residents who suffer from some form of the condition.

This summer’s auto show will mark the 33rd year of the event. It was created in 1982 by Bob Lincoln, president of the Central Ohio Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation, and Leonard Immke, owner of Immke Buick, with the dual purpose of holding a classic car show while raising money for a worthy cause. The event has only

grown since then, now attracting people from more than 20 states who compete for trophies and other awards.

The show will feature 50 classes of automobiles. Featured marquees for 2015 include Buick Gran Sport, Chrysler Town & Country, 1940 Ford and Ford Thunderbird. Perhaps the most exciting car that will be on display is a 1936 stainless steel Ford Tudor, of which only six were made. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Following the third annual Rolling Legends Tour on Thursday, both days of the event will include a show, several hours for judging, live music, food vendors and an awards ceremony. McGuffey Lane will perform on Friday, and Phil Dirt & the Dozers will perform on Saturday.

There will also be a Macy’s fashion show featuring styles from the past, refreshments and raffle items.

General admission is $10 for each day. More information can be found at www.arthritisautoshow.com.
