A 2006 study in the International Journal of Psychophysiology found a decrease in blood pressure in people who provided social support to people that they knew.

Additionally, studies have shown that adults over the age of 50 who volunteered on a regular basis were less likely to develop high blood pressure than those who did not volunteer. Because high blood pressure increases the risk of heart disease, kidney disease and stroke we can surmise that volunteering and giving actually increases your life expectancy! Donating your time and gifts to others is thought to stimulate pleasure centers in the brain causing the release of hormones such as dopamine and oxytocin, giving us that warm and fuzzy feeling we all love while improving our mood.

Many of my most rewarding experiences as a physician have involved acts of giving and sharing. Speaking to inner city high school students contemplating a career in medicine is especially rewarding as is mentoring at-risk teens. Many of the employees at Alliance Spine and Pain Centers have donated their time serving our community through food banks to feed the hungry and clothing drives to clothe the needy. Many of our employees also volunteer at local women’s shelters. Finally, Alliance Spine and Pain Centers have an active indigent program that allows patients that qualify an opportunity to get life changing medical interventions.

As we quickly move into the holiday season, let’s remember that it is truly better to give than receive. Giving of yourself may be as simple as calling an elderly neighbor, or taking a baked good to a friend during a stressful time. Consider donating well conditioned clothing items to a shelter, or volunteering at a local food bank. Your mind, season.

(Summerville), Laura S. Walker State Park and Reed Bingham State Park offered site-specific reservations. With this amenity, campers no longer need to arrive early to pick out their favorite location to park their RV or pitch their tent. Their reserved campsite will be waiting for them whenever they arrive. Georgia State Park campers enjoy bath houses with hot showers, scenery. Sewage hookups are available at some parks as well. Reservations may be made up to 13 months in advance by calling 1.800.864.7275 or online at GaStateParks.org/Reservations.

CHRISTIAN CITY ART EXHIBIT SOARS Original works of art created by nine Christian City residents were on display in the activities room at Christian City Assisted Living Center, located at 7290 Lester Road in Union City. Featuring 25 paintings in various media—acrylic, oil and watercolor—the exhibit was open to the public through October. “The residents of Christian City and the surrounding community have enjoyed seeing original art created by their neighbors,” said Jan Gwaltney, exhibit director and chairwoman of Christian City’s Arts Alliance. “We plan to have more art exhibits in the future,” she added. Participating resident artists in the exhibit were: Joe Aina, Dottie Canning, Larry Dahlborg, Susan Floyd, Jan Gwaltney, Brenda Keheley,

usually aren’t as concerned about nutrition and exercise as we should be. However, if we stay on top of things during the holiday season, we are less likely to go into the New Year feeling guilty and bloated. Check out these fun and healthy holiday activities: • Go ice skating at Centennial Olympic Park or Piedmont Park • Act out dance routines while watching Christmas musicals at home • Take a trip to Stone Mountain/Snow Mountain for some sledding fun • Prepare a healthy meal to take to a family in need and let everyone in the family get involved • Have a dance off to your favorite Christmas songs and make it a competition for added fun • Make holiday-themed Tin Tin Snacks from my fun and exciting nutrition-based children’s book series • Have a healthy indoor picnic next to the Christmas tree by laying out a blanket, enjoying some healthy foods and playing holiday music in the background • Do a 5K as a family, but prior to the 5K, spend a few days each week walking at the mall, around your neighborhood or at an indoor track • Have a house cleaning race while collecting items that you no longer use to donate to a charitable organization and get your tax deductions before the end of the year • Have an in-home scavenger hunt by selecting one family member to hide holiday gift wrapping items around the house, then everyone else can race to find them. Stay healthy and get moving with these fun and festive holiday activities. I’m offering an awesome deal on my children’s books, which are great Christmas gifts for the little ones!

instagram.com/nancyscampcreek It's all in the stuffing: the history of Nancy's Pizza dates back to 1971 when Italian immigrants Nancy and Rocco Palese opened their first pizza parlor, Guy Pizza in Chicago. They were known for their thin crust pizza, but as business fluctuated, the Paleses began to experiment. Rather than imitate, Rocco modeled his new pizza creation after a family recipe “scarciedda” an Easter specialty cake made by his mother. The end result was the first stuffed pizza in America, which is now a staple in the pizza industry. The invention and success of the stuffed pizza led to the opening of Rocco’s new restaurant in 1974, Nancy’s Pizza in Harwood Heights, IL. This was the first of many Nancy’s Pizza locations including Atlanta. The Dough Kept Rising: What began as a family owned sit-down pizzeria expanded locally through franchising and receiving multiple accolades, including “Best Chicago Pizza” from many local media outlets.

ALL DWELLINGS ARE NOT ALIKE THE SHELTON'S OUTSTANDING ART COLLECTION ARTICLE LYDIA WALKER | PHOTOGRAPHY ART BY BENETEZ

ALL DWELLINGS ARE NOT ALIKE" This Asante proverb comes to mind when one enters the South Fulton residence of Lee and Delores Shelton. An elaborate basket weave sculpture hanging high on the wall commands your attention as you enter the front door. Immediately we become engaged. “My wife is the collector,” Dr. Shelton explains as our eyes stretch to capture the panorama before us. “I just facilitate,” he continues, escorting us into a veritable museum of art. Most of the artists in the Sheltons’ diverse collection are African American. An array of art from the Middle and Far East, Africa, South America, New Zealand and Thailand reflect the global extent of their travels. Transporting art was not complicated a few years ago. The late Nigerian playwright and Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka said the art of his country “lifted him into realms of universal sublimity.” Sublime would describe the aura of the room where Nigerian Karen Kisa’s painting hangs. It is one of Dr. Shelton’s favorites. We turn slightly and see an intricately carved ivory tusk from Kenya, across from it a delicately etched mirror from Asia, and on an adjacent wall, ebony profiles called “Two Generations” and “Black Is Beautiful” painted by the late Elizabeth Catlett. Renowned for her sculpture, her versatility is shared by other professionals in the Shelton collection. For example, there is an impressionistic painting of a Parisian street scene by local architect Oscar Harris. Harris designed the Atrium at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport and the Atrium in the Fulton County Government Building. As the iconic African-American historian Henry Lewis Gates reminds us, African American art influenced European art. Picasso infamously said, “African art? Never heard of it.” Of course, he would later disavow such disparagement, with cubism as but one of the styles he adopted from the Motherland. The Shelton collection embraces the universal interconnectedness of art. A huge silk screen from Japan graces one wall while a few feet away Woodrow Nash’s earthy sculptured man sitting cross-legged grabs your attention. Then there is Emma Amos’ painting, “Dream Girl.” Amos is the daughter of the late Dr. Amos, owner of Amos Drug Store which was located on the corner of Hunter and Ashby Street—now MLK Jr. Drive and Lowery Boulevard, and a favorite destination for chili dogs. Who knew Emma Amos would be commissioned to create the art for the Atlanta Olympics?

South Fulton Lifestyle | December 2017

In Ruby Dee’s book, Moon Glow, Gordon Nelson states, “An artist isn’t a leader. He’s a pointer toward hope.” Mrs. Shelton must have internalized that idea as she made art collecting and promotion of artists her life’s work. She supported the South Cobb Arts Alliance exhibits, served on the board of the Neighborhood Art Center and was a juror for the Atlanta Life Insurance Company’s art competitions. Dr. Michael Harris, Romare Bearden, Dr. Leo Teigs and John Riddle were among the participants in these events. Mrs. Shelton frequented Gold’s auctions of antiques and the American Craft Council shows. Until recent years, she was fashion coordinator for Sears. Dr. Shelton currently sings bass with the Uzee Brown Society of Choraliers and the Michael O’Neal Summer Singers. Some may recall that he played trumpet in a trio of physician colleagues “back in the day.” After viewing the Sheltons’ amazing cornucopia of visual expression, we had to take a seat to reflect—and rest. All dwellings are truly not alike.
