To A Happy and Healthy New Year! For many of us, this time of year is full of excitement. It presents us with a reset, new horizons, and goals to pursue. We approached this issue of Folsom City Lifestyle with a mindset of not supplying quick fixes to check boxes in the short term but valuing what is sustainable over the long haul. We wanted to provide inspiration for making lasting, realistic, long-term improvements to your physical, emotional, and mental health. With the help of local experts in the areas of health and wellness, we share tips and suggestions for you to make and meet your 2024 goals. When it comes to anything in life - business, finance, food, home, and personal health – it’s not what you do some days that moves the needle, it’s what you do MOST days. And, when you enjoy what you're doing, it can lead to a more peaceful, filling, and fabulous year. Enjoy the read!

Nutrition Debra’s Daily Healthy Debra’s advice for healthy eating in 2024 is to choose a program designed with you in mind and that changes as you change. Get educated on what’s the correct nutrition for you. A program that is delicious, convenient, affordable, and sustainable is a program that will work for you. Having foods you crave that are not addictive, and delicious desserts that don’t have all the bad stuff in them is key to supporting the best health over your lifetime. Healthy ingredients will put you in control of the food instead of the food controlling you. Debra’s Daily Healthy is where delicious, personalized nutrition and fun fitness come together. Debra offers a complimentary wellness profile for you and creates a program that fits your personal needs and lifestyle. This helps to achieve goals including getting healthy, having more energy, losing body fat, increasing lean muscle, and having better digestive health. Debra’s Daily Healthy offers catering and meal planning solutions specializing in low-carb, low-fat, vegan, high-protein, keto, and allergen-free diets to meet clients’ unique needs. Debra’s number one tip is to start now so that you make every day your best life. DebrasDailyHealthy.com CONTINUED >

Dr. DiMariano Photo: Douglas Barrett Photography

Dental Health DiMariano Family Dentistry What’s a tip for healthy teeth in 2024? According to Dr. DiMariano, “Fluoride continues to be the tried and true ingredient for cavity prevention, and keeping tooth enamel strong and resistant to sensitivity. Follow a simple routine following the gold standard: brush twice a day for two minutes and floss once a day. Fluoride can be found in all-natural toothpaste and is a safe, effective way to help avoid dental procedures. Only toothpaste with fluoride can say ‘anti-cavity’, otherwise it will say ‘antiplaque’. Nano-hydroxyapatite is another ingredient that can remineralize enamel and can be found in a variety of products.” Regular dental visits are essential to make sure oral health problems are detected and treated in a timely manner, and to make sure teeth stay healthy, functioning well, and looking great. DiMariano Family Dentistry can meet all your dental needs, including general dentistry, teeth whitening, orthodontics, Invisalign braces, crowns, preventative care, or periodontal exams.

Healthy Seniors Prairie City Landing A healthy lifestyle is a lifelong commitment and important to continue into our golden years. Teri Wahl and Joan Feldman are residents of Prairie City Landing, a beautiful senior living community in Folsom that offers a fitness center and program with a full-time Fitness Director. They offer up to 25 classes a week, and Teri and Joan go daily. With a nice variety of classes, from stretch to strength to breath work, Joan says she sometimes takes three classes a day. Cynthia Bazin, the center’s Marketing Director and a fitness specialist herself, shared some tips for staying healthy in 2024. Cynthia suggests finding something you like to do. Residents enjoy the walking paths in the courtyard and around the perimeter of the community. Bazin also suggests scheduling and tracking it. If you schedule it, you’re more likely to do it and if you track it, you’ll feel more motivated. Another important tip, Cynthia suggests, is to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water during the day, especially on hot days and when you’re being extra active. If you’re looking for a lovely senior community for yourself or your loved one, take a tour of Prairie City Landing. The facility is impressive, the programs are abundant, and the staff are friendly and helpful. You might even find some new friends to work out with like Teri and Joan. PrairieCityLanding.com

There are many ways to stay fit in Folsom, from great full-service gyms to small niche workout spaces. One of the best things about Folsom is that you can step outside and find amazing fitness options right in your neighborhood. A popular Folsom activity is hiking. Summers can sometimes be too hot for a hike, but it's perfect in winter and spring. There are beautiful trails that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, including Folsom CONTINUED >

Lake and Lake Natoma. Hiking not only provides a great cardiovascular workout, but allows individuals to connect with nature and can help reduce post-holiday stress. The city also boasts numerous bike lanes and paths, making it a cyclists' paradise. The American River Bike Trail stretches for 32 miles and offers a scenic route for cyclists of all levels. Whether you prefer leisurely rides or intense training sessions, Folsom has something to offer. The waterways of Folsom offer some of the best ways to get your workout in while enjoying yourself. There's swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, boating, and on a windy day, sailboarding. A mild afternoon in early spring could be the perfect time to brush off winter blues and enjoy nature's beauty while getting in a full-body workout. Folsom is a haven for fitness enthusiasts who enjoy exercising in the great outdoors.

ARTICLE BY NICOLETTE MARTIN

H OST IN G T IP S | H OM E + DESIG N

Following closely on the coattails of autumnal and winter holidays, The celebration of the new year can often be overlooked due to an understandable desire to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the season. But, a holiday that celebrates past memories and the opportunity for both new experiences and a fresh start shouldn’t lack any of the glitz of its celebratory predecessors. Round out the final days of the year reminiscing on or saying goodbye to the experiences—good and bad—of the previous 12 months with a simple end-ofthe-year gathering that isn’t lacking any of the glamour. CONTINUED >

th e dr ink s Champagne has long been a traditional drink to toast to the new year. Keep it simple but step up your game with your own DIY Champagne cocktail bar. Consider stocking your bar full of custom Champagne or bubbly choices, festive mixers like cranberry juice or rosemary simple syrup and unique garnishes like fresh fruit and herbs or decorative ice cubes with edible flowers.

JANUARY 2 0 2 4 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM / F O L S O M CA

the decor There’s no need to go out and buy a ton of additional decor when you just decked the halls (quite literally) with holiday ornamentation. Make those decorations work as hard as you did by repurposing all the greenery, pine cones and wood place settings you just couldn’t say no to. Throw in some neutral napkins, some natural twine and some dried orange peels for a woodsy (and fragrant) twist.

H OST IN G T IP S | H OM E + DESIG N

the snacks Keep your guests happy with the perfect cheese plate. Consider how many people you’ll be serving, whether you’ll be serving before or after dinner and what cheeses you’ll want to include. According to WineFolly.com, sparkling wines pair best with creamy, sticky cheeses due to the high acidity and carbonation. WHAT YOU NEED • Cheese board or serving plate • Assortment of cheeses We recommend Brie, Port Salut, Muenster, Camembert or Gruyere PUTTING IT TOGETHER Cheese is best served at room temperature, so be sure your cheese has time to rest prior to serving. Slice the cheeses and arrange artfully on your cheese board with labels for each. Consider providing separate serving knives for each cheese to avoid any mixing of flavors. Add any additional bites you’d like and enjoy! CONTINUED > JANUARY 2 0 2 4 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM / F O L S O M CA

the traditions No matter where you are in the world when the clock strikes midnight, ring in the new year internationally by taking part in one of these worldly traditions. + SPAIN Spend Nochevieja (“old night”) at home watching the countdown on TV—you can party later! Are you in need of some luck for the upcoming year? Wearing red underwear for the night may give you some. + MEXICO Be sure to have lots of grapes on hand. Demonstrated by Spaniards as well, this tradition involves eating 12 grapes with every strike of the clock, symbolizing good luck for every month of the new year. + DENMARK Destroy your frustrations and start the year fresh by smashing unwanted glassware. Danish tradition calls for smashing plates on the doors of friends and loved ones around midnight, but we think you should probably save that part for when you’re actually in Denmark. + SCOTLAND Although its singing has become pretty standard worldwide, “Auld Lang Syne” originated in Scotland in 1788 as a poem by Robert Burns. Go ahead and make a cheat sheet for all your friends—we won’t judge.
