Produce Delivery Launches in Metro Detroit in June Expands to Detroit and Ann Arbor

H

ungry Harvest, a farm-to-doorstep produce delivery service, is launching in Detroit and Ann Arbor in June. The company rescues fruits and vegetables that would otherwise go to waste due to cosmetic imperfections or surpluses, curates that produce into weekly customizable harvest boxes and delivers to subscribers starting at $15.

“Every Hungry Harvest delivery keeps at least 10 pounds of food from going to waste and supports the work of local hunger-solving organizations,” says CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest Evan Lutz. “Each year, 20 percent of Americans live in food insecurity. In metro Detroit alone, 500,000 people are at risk of going hungry. Our move into the metro Detroit area helps to further Hungry Harvest’s mission to democratize access to healthy food by ending food waste and hunger in America.”

To that end, Hungry Harvest will be partnering with Forgotten Harvest, a nonprofit that delivers free food to emergency food providers across metro Detroit.

Current Oakland County delivery areas include Farmington, Farmington Hills, Ferndale, Madison Heights, Novi, Rochester/Rochester Hills and Southfield. For additional locations, visit their website.

Customers can use the code HEALTHYMI for $5 off their first box. For more information or to sign up, visit HungryHarvest.net.

he students of Hālau Hula 'O Pi'ilani School of Dance, with the Polynesian Dancers of Michigan and the Michigan Moana, present “The Voyage.” The show combines authentic costumes, music and instruments from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa and New Zealand to share the beauty of the Polynesian islands. This event will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 9, at the Novi Civic Center Theater, and tickets are $10/person (ages 3 and under free).

“The Voyage” marks the debut theatrical performance for Pamela Gibson, new artistic director of Polynesian Dancers of Michigan.

She is joined on stage by school dancers of all ages, from keiki (kids) to kupuna (elders) as well as the professional Polynesian Dancers of Michigan. School founder, Frances Pi'ilani Price will also be making a special stage appearance. Price has been spreading the spirit of Aloha throughout the community at performances and in the form of classes for 48 years.

“I am very excited for this year’s show," says Gibson, "which is more theatrical and focuses on one island at a time to celebrate each specific culture. I feel it is my Kuleana (responsibility) to stay true and respectful to the people and cultures of Polynesia every time we perform.”

avid W. Regiani, D.D.S., N.M.D., of the Regiani Holistic Dental Center in Clarkston is pleased to announce the addition of a new associate dentist, Rasha Kajy, DDS.

"There are many young dentists out there looking for work," explains Dr. Regiani, "but my office is not just another job. Our patients have come to expect more than average care when they walk in the door, so Dr. Kajy is the right fit for us. She’s an established professional with shared beliefs in complete dentistry. When she and her family recently moved from Florida, Dr. Kajy began to search for a mercury-free practice, one that understands total-patient care. She does not Rasha Kajy, D.D.S. compromise quality for insurance coverage – there are many offices that still place mercury-amalgam fillings as they are more profitable to do. Dr. Kajy did not want that type of practice."

Regiani Holistic Dental Center has been providing mercury-safe, tooth-colored fillings since 1981, along with their wide variety of services for adults and children in all phases of dentistry.

Dr. Kajy graduated from New York University College of Dentistry in 2002 with Dean's List honors. She has served as an officer in the Unites States Army since 2012, currently a Major, in a reserve status. Dr. Kajy lives in Michigan with her husband and two children and enjoys traveling, yoga and outdoor activities with her family.

"My clinical team is excited that Dr. Kajy is very familiar with the procedures and processes we use daily," says Regiani. "She is a CEREC® dentist (CEREC is used to make a single-visit metal-free crown) and single-visit crowns are second-nature to her, as are composite fillings, endo’s, extractions and just about everything we do. Dr. Kajy is trained in Invisalign® and eager to take part in our Healthy Start program. With Dr. Kajy’s experience and expertise on board we will continue to be able to provide exceptional care in a timely manner. I and my team feel blessed to have Dr. Rasha Kajy join us. Please take a moment to meet her at your next visit!"

Exercise Boosts Good Bacteria Tip for Healthy Looking Skin, Gut Cardiovascular exercise Hair and Nails improves a person’s healthy gut mi-

crobes even without making dietary changes, University of Illinois researchers report. In a study of 32 people, 30 to 60 minutes of exercise three times a week for six weeks boosted levels of healthy intestinal bacteria, especially for lean subjects, and less so for the obese. The healthy bacteria produced short-chain fatty acids that reduce the risk of colon cancer.

“The bottom line is that there are clear differences in how the microbiome of somebody who is obese versus somebody who is lean responds to exercise,” says Jeffrey Woods, Ph.D., a kinesiology professor at the university.

Facial Exercises Ease Midlife Signs of Aging In the first scientific study of facial exercise, 27 middleaged women that performed specific facial muscle movements looked an average of two-and-a-half years younger in 20 weeks based on a standardized scale called the Merz-Carruthers Facial Aging Photoscales.

By doing the exercises for 30 minutes each day or every other day, the fullness of both the upper and lower cheeks, in particular, of the women were significantly enhanced, report Northwestern University researchers.

“The exercises enlarge and strengthen the facial muscles, so the face becomes firmer and more toned and shaped like a younger face,” says lead author Murad Alam, a medical doctor.

Some of the study exercises can be found by searching the topic of Happy Face Yoga on YouTube.

ach person is unique when it comes to diet. Foods that create problems (food sensitivities) for some can be good for others. For example, grains such as wheat and corn can trigger inflammation in the body and one of the ways the body detoxifies is through the skin.

A low/anti-inflammation diet may help. Healthy oils such as olive oil, antioxidant-containing foods such as green tea, fatty fish and dark chocolate are all great to reduce inflammation and increase antioxidants.

Signs of food sensitivities include dark circles under the eyes, skin rashes and breakouts/acne. If you experience any of these try an elimination diet, starting with grains, to see if your skin changes.

Have you heard the term "eating clean?" This means fresh fruits and vegetables–organic when possible.

Non-organic foods are often grown using pesticides and herbicides that the body has to deal with, which can also affect your skin.

For some, dairy products can have an adverse effect on skin. Acne, for example, is sometimes a sign of a sensitivity to dairy.

Healthy hair and nails result from adequate protein in the diet, a healthy thyroid and low sugar. Female balding is one example of inadequate protein and/or thyroid issues. One supplement product that may help boost your body's protein by providing additional collagen from beef is called Vital Proteins. It is a bioavailable form of collagen protein, and good for healthy skin, hair and nails.

Watch for packaged foods with too much salt. It can leave you dried out and looking older. Fresh foods usually have all the natural sodium we need.

Drink fresh clean water! One way to keep your skin looking great is to drink lots of pure water. A charcoal water filter for your faucet or home water supply will help to reduce toxins. Also, drink from glass whenever possible.

Finally, a few supplements for younger looking skin are Resveratrol, vitamin C, fish oil and protein/collagen (as mentioned above). These products increase collagen and skin elasticity. DHEA and adrenal hormone, estrogen and progesterone (if you can tolerate them) are also important for looking and feeling healthy.

Choosing Happiness

Healthy Living Is Healthy Thinking Now, more than ever, people are concerned about wellness of mind.

Mental wellness is a conscious effort to maintain a positively healthy mind-set. It is key to living a healthy, happy, productive life.

Everything accomplished in life begins as a thought. How we think is reflected in our actions. Our actions, positive or negative, affect us and those around us.

Are things not going well today?

Consider your thoughts. Want a positive outcome? Begin with a positive thought. Negative thoughts can keep us from achieving our goals.

Happiness is a choice. It is one of the first decisions we make each morning. How we start the day usually dictates how the day will go. How are your thoughts today? Choose to think on things that are honest, just and of a good report (Philippians 4:8).

Find something to be thankful for each day, and let kindness be a part of the daily routine. Greet everyone with a smile.

Give children hope and contentment through love. Love is key to their happiness. Lionel Richie said it best in the song “Jesus Is Love.” Jesus is perfect love (1 John 4:8,18). Loving him provides great peace and peace is often what children and teens who commit suicide are looking for.

Want to experience wellness of mind, body and spirit? Whenever possible, surround yourself with loving, like-minded, happy people. Fill your home and school with great books.

A spate of recent worldwide studies reveal several cholesterol-healthy alternatives to olive oil.

Ingesting 15 milliliters a day of virgin coconut oil for eight weeks increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) “good cholesterol” levels in 32 young adults by an average of 5.72 milligrams/deciliter, researchers at Thailand’s Chiang Mai University found.

Walnut oil slashed heart disease risk in 100 Type 2 diabetes patients that swallowed capsules containing a total of 15 milliliters of walnut oil a week—the amount of oil obtained from 4 to 5 servings of the nuts.

They experienced significant drops in total cholesterol, low-density (LDL) “bad cholesterol” and triglycerides after 90 days, reported Iranian researchers at the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.

Camelina oil from the Camelina sativa plant, also called false flax, lowered LDL levels in 79 men with prediabetic symptoms, whereas diets high in either high- or low-fatty fish did not, according to the University of Eastern Finland. The men consumed 30 milliliters of the oil for 90 days.

Cleanup Cites Worst Plastic Polluters

A week-long beach cleanup and audit at Freedom Island in the Philippines last September exposed the companies most responsible for plastic pollution in the critical wetland habitat. The Greenpeace Philippines and #breakfreefromplastic movement audit, the first of its kind in the country, revealed that Nestlé, Unilever and the Indonesian company PT Torabika Mayora are the top three contributors of plastic waste discovered in the area, contributing to the more than 2 million tons of mismanaged plastic waste in the Philippines, the third-biggest source of plastic ocean pollution per year.

Boston Ban

Boston will join 59 other Massachusetts municipalities and hundreds of others across the nation, including Seattle, Washington, and Washington, D.C., in banning single-use plastic shopping bags by the end of this year. Instead, Boston shoppers must bring their own totes or pay store owners five cents or more for a thicker, compostable plastic bag or a larger paper bag with handles. “This new ordinance protects the health of our neighborhoods and environment, while at the same time easing the burden on taxpayers and saving local retailers millions,” says Kirstie Pecci, director of the Conservation Law Foundation’s Zero Waste Project.

Website Opens Up Private Land to Campers

A Portland startup online at LandApart. com is expanding the share-economy Airbnb-model concept to private landowners and campers. People that want to camp or rent a cabin in a beautiful area can pay a private landowner for access. CEO Ven Gist says the move is in part a response to sometimes crowded public lands that often cannot be reserved. He says, “We’re basically collaborating with landowners to open up new wild spaces that people can find and book for truly secluded, unique outdoor experiences.” Prices average between $30 and $40 per night.

etting enough sleep—or not—has a trickle-down effect. A study in the Journal of Obesity shows that good quality shut-eye helps us reduce stress, lose weight and function better.

Research also shows that most Americans would be healthier, happier and safer going about their daily activities if they slept 60 to 90 more minutes each night, according to the American Psychological Association. A consistent sleep routine helps enable a good night’s rest, with activities like going to bed at the same time whenever possible; shutting down the Internet, email and text messaging at least an hour before bedtime; and limiting intake of caffeine and alcohol.

Another best practice is eating foods that help us relax, fall and stay asleep. Four primary sleep-promoting vitamins and minerals naturally found in foods are tryptophan, magnesium, calcium and vitamin B6. Some of these help the body produce melatonin, the hormone responsible for regulating the body’s sleep/wake patterns called circadian rhythms. Others enhance serotonin, which carries nerve signals and relays messages in the brain related to mood and sleep. www.MichiganHealthyLiving.com

Some foods are naturally packed with these essential vitamins and minerals, and eating certain foods at certain times can help us tip the scale towards a successful night of restful sleep.

1

Kiwi. Full of vitamins C and E, serotonin and folate, kiwi can help us sleep longer. In a study at Taipei Medical University, in Taiwan, researchers had participants eat two kiwifruits one hour before bedtime for four weeks.

Total sleep time improved by 13.4 percent.

2

Soy. In a Japanese study published in the Nutrition Journal, researchers surveyed 1,076 participants between 20 and 78 on how often they ate soy products, which are rich in sleep-enhancing isoflavones. Those that ate the most soy foods enjoyed deeper, more sustained sleep. Researchers concluded that soy’s isoflavones help regulate the sleep/wake cycle.

Tart cherry juice. A study by the University of Rochester, in New York, found that older adults drinking two, eight-ounce servings of tart red cherry juice daily, one in the morning and one at night for two weeks, enjoyed moderate sleep improvement, comparable to taking the herb valerian and melatonin.

Fish. Salmon, halibut, mackerel and tuna help boost the production of vitamin B6, which helps make melatonin. A recent study from the University of Pennsylvania published in Scientific Reports found that eating more fish led both to better sleep and improved cognitive function in children.

Research found that men that ate two bananas at a time for a week had a rise in melatonin that reached a peak two hours later; pineapple juice and orange juice also raised those levels.

8

Walnuts. Eating a handful of walnuts an hour before bedtime provides fiber- supporting, restorative, slow-wave sleep, concluded a study in the journal Nutrition. Plus, walnuts are a good source of tryptophan, which helps make serotonin and melatonin; University of Texas researchers also found that walnuts contain their own source of melatonin.

Fiber-rich foods. Choices such as chia seeds, nuts and whole grains help promote restorative “slow-wave” sleep, according to the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.

6

Calcium-fortified yogurt. According to Dr. William Sears, a pediatrician in Pasadena, California, and author of The Baby Sleep Book: The Complete Guide to a Good Night’s Rest for the Whole Family, “Calcium helps the brain use the amino acid tryptophan to manufacture the sleepinducing substance melatonin. This explains why dairy products, which contain both tryptophan and calcium, are some of the top sleep-inducing foods.”

7

Bananas. Rich in potassium, magnesium, tryptophan and vitamin B6, which are used to make melatonin, bananas help promote good sleep. A study in the Journal of Pineal

Dark leafy greens. Kale, spinach and collard greens are among the magnesium-rich greens that can help us de-stress and go to sleep, says Dr. Raj Dasgupta, a professor of pulmonary and sleep medicine at the University Southern California, Los Angeles.

10

Almonds and dates. Nerina Ramlakhan, Ph.D., a London sleep therapist and author of Fast Asleep but Wide Wake: Discover the Secrets of Restorative Sleep and Vibrant Energy, counsels her clients to start at breakfast by eating eight almonds and two dates. These two fiber-rich foods are able to slowly help produce melatonin for later in the day.

RUNNING WITH THE KIDS

Families and coaches agree that running benefits both body and psyche. “Running as a family is an incredibly bonding experience, putting aside some of the usual conflicts and perceived hierarchies and just coming together,” says William Pullen, a London, England, psychotherapist and author of Running with Mindfulness: Dynamic Running Therapy (DRT) to Improve Low-mood, Anxiety, Stress, and Depression. “Running also gives us a place where we can develop skills like building confidence and competency.”

Marc Bloom, of Princeton, New Jersey, author of Young Runners: The Complete Guide to Healthy Running for Kids From 5 to 18 and The Runner’s Bible, concurs, stating, “Running as a family can give parents the opportunity to be good role models by instilling values of health, fitness and togetherness.”

Experts emphasize the fun factor. Pullen encourages both parents and kids to get out of their heads and into their bodies.

“Concentrating on breath, posture, sensation and location all help make running mindful,” he suggests.

www.MichiganHealthyLiving.com

“The important thing is to show up. It’s about participation, not breaking personal bests,” Pullen continues. Kids can play a game while running, such as silently counting steps, trees or other runners.” Mindfulness can also include sharing how it feels to run and meeting challenges along the way.

Bloom suggests tuning in to nature. “Being in beautiful surroundings or watching for animals can promote mindfulness,” he says. “It can be spiritual.”

Safe Start

For beginners, experts recommend approaching running as a desirable pastime and adopting a slow, easy pace. “Always make running fun, not a chore,” encourages Bloom. “Frame it as being outside, playing and sharing with friends and family. Make a game of it as much as possible.”

Whether a family chooses to run in the park or in a community race, experts stress the importance of not setting goals.

“Make it pleasurable. Don’t worry about time and distance. Start with short distances, maybe a block or two for novice runners or very young children,” advises running coach Jeremy Sanders, from Winchester, Virginia. “Be patient. Some days, the kids will get cramps. They may whine or get moody. Other days, they will be happy and content. Don’t let one bad run ruin the opportunity to try again another time.”

Running coaches and seasoned runners agree that it is wise to tailor runs according to age and fitness levels. “Kids can begin at school age, 5 or 6; but start them with a few minutes and then add

more, up to 15 minutes to a half an hour or so a few days a week.

Always mix in sprints for short attention spans. Keep it simple.

No fancy running shoes are needed when starting, just regular sneakers,” advises Bloom. “For teens, 30 to 45 minutes at a time a few times a week is fine, provided that they have bona fide running shoes.”

Inspiration

Finding inspiration as a family can include running for worthy causes; most communities host charity runs. “This can become a focal point for getting in shape, raising money and running for the greater good, not just yourself,” says Bloom.

Mindful running presents regular opportunities to explore new places, focus on details that often go unnoticed and make exercise an active meditation for all involved. “Show kids how to notice what is going on around them when they run,” suggests Pullen. “You can read up and educate yourselves on trees, geology or the change of seasons so they feel a powerful sense of connection and freedom.”

Whether running as a family is motivated by a desire to stay fit, get someplace or simply share more quality time, being in the present moment is most important. “Life is not about striving all the time,” exhorts Pullen. “Take the kids out. Keep it fun and make it into an adventure.”

rom red carpets to Teen Vogue magazine, the natural beauty trend has taken the industry by storm. Consumer whims may have sparked its beginnings more than a decade ago, but demand is now spiking profits into the billions.

“Consumer need is influencing retailers to offer cleaner formulas reflecting firm eco-values,” says Karen Behnke, the pioneering

A recent Green Beauty Barometer online survey revealed that more than half of women want their skincare products to be all-natural, a result likely driven by the scientific information age (see KariGran.com/pages/greenbeauty for details). Reputable scientific studies revealing parabens in breast cancer biopsies have demonstrated that everything applied to the skin also enters the bloodstream, hence the effectiveness of dermal nicotine and birth control patches. Thus, it can be alarming to realize that the average woman will unknowingly consume seven pounds of lipstick containing petroleum-based emollients, synthetic preservatives and artificial dyes during a lifetime, undoubtedly another reason consumers are switching to natural options.

Katey Denno, a Los Angeles makeup artist to the stars, noticed cosmetic red flags early in her career. “The first time I turned over a palette that most makeup artists carry and saw specific colors that couldn’t be used on eyes or lips, I was confused; if something isn’t safe for lips or eyes, how can it be good for any part of

Millennials continue to drive consumer demand for higher standards. “Retailers understand that the skincare/makeup landscape is changing,” advises Behnke.

“Traditional brands are no longer attracting younger consumers that are demanding organic, clinically validated products.”

Denno concurs, stating, “The spotlight on clean products comes from the growing

Solving Skin Issues Simply and Naturally Understanding How Single Ingredients Work Together

by Holly Cutler, The Skin SaintTM

M

any natural, yet modern, solutions to skin challenges can be found now in single ingredients that are multifunctional.

What we are seeing is that, for the most part, no one person has just a single skin issue. They are typically breakoutprone and oily, or breakout-prone red.

Modern skin experts should be aware of how to solve all these issues with simple, natural and effective skincare products.

For oily skin: clay masks are great to draw out oil, but if your prone to redness and oil, go for surfer masks.

For breakout-prone skin: salicylic acid is great to clear up blemishes and excess oil, but if your dry and breakout-prone go for low level retinoids.

For dry skin: oils such as jojoba oil mimic our natural sebum and are great for dryness but for more extreme dryness go for olive oil.

For combination skin: niacinamide is great for cell turnover and can help dry skin on the cheeks as well as pores and breakouts in the T-zone.

Redness: arnica is great for redness and inflammation but if you have dry rosacea go for defensil, and oily (popular) rosacea go for azelaic acid.

When you look at the individual properties of these following ingredients, they can work as multiples in the above categories: Salicylic acid is good for oily, blemishprone, combination. In 1% formulations can help redness as it is anti-inflammatory.

Niacinamide can help dry, combination, redness, and break-out prone, oily skin.

It can also help aging, which makes it one of my favorite ingredients.

Retinoids are proven to help everything from dry to oily skin, and better yet help acne and photo-aging. Even though you may feel some dryness at first, that passes the more you develop a tolerance.

Azelaic acid can help everything from redness and rosacea, to breakouts and acne, to aging skin, and even brightening.

One of my favorites!

Since these ingredients need to be at certain percentages to be clinically effective, find a skincare line that feature them in natural formulations.

Body Makeover Trends

New Technologies Offer Less Invasive Options

W

e caught up with Holly Cutler, America's Skin Saint™, about some of the trends and lessinvasive therapies she's seeing today in Body Makeovers.

Holly, and her husband, Dr. Doug Cutler, head FACE Skincare ~ Medical ~ Wellness, an integrative skin and wellness clinic in Bingham Farms, MI. Holly has been a featured expert on The Doctors, FOX, Comcast, CBS, NBC, ABC, and in several national publications.

What are the trends you're seeing in body contouring?

The biggest demand we see is for permanent fat reduction, cellulite reduction and body tightening, and non-invasive butt lifts. People are looking for treatments to give faster, more effective, and more dramatic results. That demand for noninvasive procedures, and newer minimally invasive procedures can last years, and even get close to surgical results, without going under the knife.

Can you describe some of these and what they treat?

TruSculpt 3D is FDA-cleared and the most recent advancement in body sculpting as it does permanent fat reduction and tightening, all in one session. The RF (radio frequency) technology delivers deep heating energy to adipose tissue for body sculpting. It's especially great for those who exercise and still can’t get rid of their "spare tire," (abdomen and flank excess fat), inner or outer thigh fat, flanks, excess fat under the chin (submental), under the buttocks (banana roll), and bra fat. Being a two-in-one treatment, I find it superior to CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting, or Cryolipolysis, is also a non-invasive body contouring treatment FDA-cleared for permanent fat reduction

20 East Michigan Edition

by freezing skin to temperatures ranging from +5 to -11 °C. Expect about a 1 inch reduction over the 2-3 months. This takes 35-60 minutes per area, depending on the version used.

Sculpsure is an FDA-cleared laser to reduce stubborn fat in the belly, love handles, back, thighs, and under the chin. This takes about 25 minutes per area. It’s not the most ideal treatment as it is painful versus the above treatments as laser has competing chromophores to go thru to destroy the fat.

ThermiSmooth is a non-invasive series of RF treatments that create lypolysis, tightening and cellulite reduction in one.

The most effective non invasive treatment I have seen for mommy makeovers. These treatments last a year.

Cellfina is a minimally invasive treatment FDA-cleared for cellulite that lasts 3 years.

Extremely effective at releasing the connective tissue bans that pull the skin down creating a “dimpled” appearance to the skin. One treatment is all that is needed of this non-surgical treatment.

Smartlipo - A minimally invasive procedure, using surgical laser liposuction for a larger, one time treatment of permanent fat reduction. This offers less downtime than traditional liposuction.

The Triplex laser system uses three surgical attachments in one. A new version of Smartlipo, a cellulaze handpiece and Precision TX, to remove fat, tighten skin and help cellulite from underneath for smaller areas such as neck, and jawline.

What treatments do you prefer?

If I could offer one body-contouring treatment it would be the TruSculpt 3D. It is completely non-invasive and permanently reduces fat while giving some tightening www.MichiganHealthyLiving.com

at the same time, in just one painless treatment. Other recent advancements becoming popular are the non-invasive Brazilian Butt Lift® (which is a combination of an Ultherapy Butt Lift® and Sculptra Butt Lift®), and RF micro needling, for treating stretch marks and lifting loose skin.

What should people know before performing body-contouring treatments?

None of these procedures are for weight loss or obesity, rather they are for those in relatively good shape who have some excess weight or specific areas of fat, cellulite or tightening to target. It is also not a replacement for exercise or proper diet. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and exercise regimen as continuing to eat the same way, can lead to fat developing in other areas.

People can experience bruising, swelling, tenderness, numbness in the area...or nothing...depending on which procedure they receive. The more semi-invasive procedures will have some drainage at the entry points for up to 24 hours from the Lidocaine used (a local anesthetic). The less invasive treatments usually have some temporary redness or tenderness.

What other treatments pair well with body-contouring treatments?

Non-surgical, combination therapies can target a multitude of issues with fewer treatments.

Detoxification treatments are extremely effective in assisting with fat and cellulite reduction. The Sunlighten™ infrared dome detoxifies the skin 7 to 10 times greater than a conventional sauna, and makes the skin look radiant, firm, and improves tone and elasticity. Regular use may also help reduce cellulite trapped beneath the skin, and lessen the appearance of scars.

supermarkets. Women are ditching toxic hair dyes and going silver to avoid thinning hair and allergies, and unwittingly, creating a new fashion statement. Plus, there’s growing interest in DIY cosmetics using everyday good-for-you ingredients found in the kitchen.

Artisan perfumes are gaining popularity among women that want the mystery and allure of fragrance without the side effects of manmade, chemical-based brands.

“Some new customers are frustrated by commercial products giving them headaches, while others say that they just don’t like perfume, when what they actually don’t like is synthetic fragrance chemicals,” says Ananda Wilson, a botanical perfumer and owner of Gather Perfume, in South Hadley, Massachusetts.

“It’s inspiring when they smell real plant scents and see how their world lights up! The molecules in natural perfumes are active and interact with personal chemistry, so they unfold differently on each wearer, creating a unique signature and experience.”

Wilson ventured into botanical blends when both awareness and supplies of appropriate ingredients were scarce. “Perfume history is largely rooted in natural materials, but until recently, there was a mass blackout of this precious lineage.

When I started, there was barely anything available, and only through a handful of aromatherapy companies,” she explains.

Now, Wilson bases her products on botanical infusions from plants she’s grown or collected, including wild beach roses, clover and spring poplar buds.

It only takes a whiff to dispel the myth that natural perfumes lack sophistication or tenacity. “Naturals have a breadth of possibilities—opulent white florals, fresh and clean, or dirty and smoky,” expounds Wilson.

Eco-beauty is emerging from conscious lifestyle choices and creating the next era of cosmetics. “It’s fun to be called a pioneer in organic beauty,” muses Behnke. “Our products, employees and happy customers comprise an encouraging accomplishment.”

We Need Clean Waters Streams and Rivers Are Life Links

by Avery Mack

C

reeks, streams and rivers flow into ponds, lakes and oceans, carrying pollution. Keeping large bodies of water clean starts with local waterways.

As awareness of this need rises, some rivers in Africa, India, New Zealand and elsewhere are being protected and recognized as living entities, with rights, values and the legal status of people. While court cases brought by commercial interests are challenging such decisions, progress continues on many fronts.

Cleanup Success Stories

“The Fox River’s been our treasure since Native Americans paddled there,” says Barbara Smits, part-owner of Old Northwest Frontier Tours, provider of self-guided auto, bicycle and walking tours via eBook, in De Pere, Wisconsin. “To see people sail, boat, ice fish or sightsee here again is a joy.” The Fox River Cleanup Project, a multi-year effort covering 13 miles that began in 2009, reduces the health and environmental risks from polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) in the sediment.

Lake Winnebago, source of the lower Fox River, is currently stewarded under the 2000 Lake Sturgeon Management Plan.

Recent meetings have sought citizen input for updates in managing sturgeon stock.

In Athens County, Ohio, Michelle Shively, in Trimble, is Sunday Creek’s watershed coordinator. “Every minute, 850 to 1,000 gallons of polluted water from an underground mine pool flows into the creek, turning the water orange from iron waste. Once the iron is removed, you need to do something with it,” she says.

Guy Riefler, Ph.D., an associate professor of civil engineering, and John Sabraw, professor of art and chair of a painting and drawing program, both with Ohio University, in Athens, found a way to wash, dry and pulverize recovered iron. It will be sold to Gamblin Artists Colors to make oil paints for artists in mustardy ochre, rusty red and violet tones. Not yet widely available, 500 sample tubes of Reclaimed Earth Violet were featured at an initial fundraiser.

“Cleaning water is expensive, but now we’ve turned the problem into a method to fund more work,” says Shively.

Throughout history, river dams have been built to provide power or irrigation, prevent flooding and provide municipal water needs. Of approximately 80,000

Water is life, and clean water means health. ~Audrey Hepburn three-foot-tall or higher U.S. dams, only about 2,500 produce hydropower. Removal of old dams no longer serving their original function can restore entire watershed ecosystems, provide habitat for fish and wildlife, add jobs, improve water quality, reinstate natural sediment and nutrient flow, and save taxpayer dollars.

Built in 1929 and abandoned after World War II, demolition of an Eklutna River dam, in Alaska, began in 2016. Curtis McQueen, an Eklutna tribal leader and CEO of Eklutna Inc., which now owns the dam, reported that 300,000 cubic yards of sediment had amassed there, along with junked cars, TVs and other trash.

The tribe is the first in the nation to be involved in such a massive project, intended to restore its historic salmon population.

In 2017, dams were removed in Alaska, California, Connecticut, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.

A map at Tinyurl.com/DamRemovals shows dams taken down since 1916.

“The good news is that in meetings like the St. Louis River Summit, in Superior, Wisconsin, in March, clean water wasn’t viewed only in a strictly scientific sense, but added the human factor to produce more diverse solutions,” says Wallace J. Nichols, Ph.D., the Monterey Bay, California, author of Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do. “The bad news is that most projects are funded, directly or indirectly, by the federal government. Cuts add challenges and stress to looking for solutions.”

Cities like Pittsburgh, Superior and Duluth are among many that are protecting, restoring and rejuvenating riverfronts with increased public access, thus rekindling residents’ love for and recognition of the mental and physical benefits provided by their waterways.

“We’re in a period of big ideas,” says Nichols. Two can be easily implemented. First, he explains, don’t build right on the water; instead, sit in the “second row”. Second, gain perspective by experiencing changes in waterways.

“One way to do this is to spend an hour a day, or even an hour a week, in, on or near the water. Take someone new with you each time,” suggests Nichols. “You’ll see how best to value, promote and defend our right to clean water.”

Then teach the kids.

Italians call it la dolce far niente, or the sweetness of doing nothing, while the Dutch word niksen translates as “doing something without a purpose”. Here are a few tips to reclaim the art of be-ing over do-ing.

inspiration

Doing something is okay. The aim

is to let go of the compulsion to check off every item on our to-do list—but that doesn’t mean blankly staring off into space.

These are purposeful moments without a specific purpose. Doodle in a sketchbook, wander around the neighborhood or lie in the grass and look at clouds. Spontaneously go with the flow.

There’s no one way or right way to do nothing. “Just by carving out space,

you’ll get a benefit even if it doesn’t feel like you’re doing it right or perfectly,” advises Long. It looks different for different people.

“Before I had kids, my ‘nothing time’ might be just being out in nature or simply doing one thing mindfully at a time, like washing dishes. Now I incorporate the principle into family time. One day a week, I shut off the phone, get on the floor with my kids and just let life get messy.”

HEALTHY SUMMER HYDRATION

Kids Love These Homemade Drinks

by Judith Fertig

A

t day camp or the pool, on the playing field or in the backyard, kids can get really thirsty, especially as temperatures climb. Although filtered water is always a good choice, sugary, carbonated, artificially colored and flavored beverages can be tempting. Having homemade options ready can entice kids to stay hydrated in a healthy way.

Clued-in Professionals “As a sports nutritionist and mother of active kids, I know there’s a lot of misin-

formation out there, and I get all kinds of questions from parents about what drinks are best for kids,” says Jackie Berning, Ph.D., a registered dietitian, sports nutrition consultant and professor of health science at the University of Colorado, in Colorado Springs. “Parents need to know that all beverages are not created equal when it comes to hydrating them. The best [healthful] beverages taste good when your child is active, so encourage their drinking more of them,” she says.

Michele Olivier, the mother of daughters Elliette and Parker, views herself as both a lover of food and a control freak. The Denver, Colorado, recipe blogger started off making food for her baby and toddler. As her kids grew and their nutritional needs changed, she created new recipes, including healthy sports drinks that both balance electrolytes and hydrate.

While Elliette loves water and has no trouble staying hydrated, Parker loves juice, so Mom had to “make something that looks like juice, but is healthy,” says Olivier. Four main ingredients are a little frozen fruit left over from breakfast smoothies, a bit of honey for sweetening, a dash of Himalayan sea salt and water, or herbal tea or coconut water. She might also add fresh mint, ginger or other natural flavorings (BabyFoode.com).

Heather Dessinger, a mom of three and blogger of recipes and natural mothering tips from Santa Fe, Tennessee, makes a drink based on coconut water with lime juice, raw honey and sea salt for older kids that play soccer or other warm-weather sports. Dessinger describes herself as a researcher and healthy living DIY fan (Mommypotamus.com).

With homemade drinks, we know exactly what is—and what isn’t—in them.

They can be made in batches and kept in the refrigerator. Dessinger relates, “I’ve found that when I make a batch with honey, which is naturally antimicrobial, and store it in the coldest part of the fridge, my homemade sports drink lasts for at least a week.”

Peter Gros on Preserving Wild Nature

by Sandra Murphy

P

eter Gros, co-host of the original Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom TV show, wildlife expert and environmental conservationist, now educates groups of young people that spend more time on their handheld devices than they do outdoors. His message impresses upon the next generation the importance of wildlife and open spaces as they gift us with heartfelt awe and balance, and engage us with nature to offset manmade lives.

His 30 years of field experiences

include serving as a wildlife lecturer and licensed U.S. Department of Agriculture exhibitor. An active member of the American Zoo and Aquariums Association and the Zoological Association of America, Gros is also on the board of directors of the Suisun Marsh Natural History Association and a trustee for the Cheetah Conservation Fund. He lives in Seattle and spends time in national forests when not speaking to groups.

Which animals are most often displaced by development

so that we now share space with them?

Deer, raccoons, alligators and coyotes are common neighbors, depending on where you live. The deer population used to be controlled by natural predators like wolves; without wolves, deer can overpopulate.

The best thing to remember is that animals go where there’s a food supply.

Gardens attract deer; cat or dog food left out brings raccoons. Coyotes and alligators must lose their fear of humans in order to eat. Don’t feed, tease or interact with them.

Take photos from a distance. Call your local government animal agency for help or referral to a licensed animal rehabber before “rescuing” an abandoned baby; mothers often spend periods of time away hunting for food.

Why are some animals in danger of being killed on sight?

We react to snakes, wolves and bats from a place of unfounded fears: snakes don’t have facial expressions, are seen as cold or slimy and move quickly; wolves are dangerous;

bats can tangle in your hair. These are all tall tales. Animals want to avoid us.

We’ve reacted to our own fears with needless snake roundups, bounties on wolves and panic when a tiny bat swoops by. Historically, there have been no attacks on humans by wolves, and reintroducing them into Yellowstone National Park has restored a natural balance. Snakes keep disease-carrying rodents away. Bats use their radar to steer clear.

We need to understand each animal’s purpose and place in nature. Feeding wildlife corrupts natural behaviors and removes their fear of humans. When we deem them a nuisance or inconvenient, we treat them like they’re disposable and have no value. It’s better for everyone to enjoy the fact that animals are there and keep our distance.

Who else is working to educate people about the importance of wildlife and habitat?

Zoos used to be concrete-enclosed collections of animals. Now they are education centers, offering enrichment programs and improved natural habitats to keep the animals active and interested. Waterfalls, swimming pools, trees, puzzles and toys that prompt animals to mimic hunting behaviors help keep a resident animal’s mind and body active.

Breeding programs help maintain endangered species. We’re able to study and learn about a species while caring for them. One breeding program I worked with focused on spotted and striped big cats: the leopards and tigers. In another, we used incubators to hatch eggs among a threatened ostrich population. In Big Sur, California, condors have been raised with puppets so they wouldn’t imprint on humans before being released. Nature and science centers across the country are also teaching people about the importance of animals.

What makes you hopeful for the future?

Each of us can make a daily difference in preserving our natural world. I’ve been fortunate in being able to showcase wild animals, help endangered or protected species and share what I’ve learned in educational forums.

Good news includes sighting of the black-footed ferret, once thought to be extinct. Mountain lions are recovering.

We are learning from past mistakes. A big lesson is that what nature provides isn’t in endless supply, so we must be wise and frugal with all of our natural resources.

What are you most passionate about?

No one should have a wild or exotic animal as a pet. The animals I show to audiences were bottle-raised or rescued. They can’t be released

and so have become animal ambassadors.

When people see them, they better understand the importance of nature and wildlife to people and the planet. I’m passionate about preserving wildlife and open spaces.

LIVABLE COMMUNITIES WE LOVE Good for People and the Planet

by John D. Ivanko and Lisa Kivirist

M

any people define a livable city as one that is easy to get around in by foot, bike or public transportation. Many also prioritize ready access to fresh, local, organic food via farmers’ markets and community gardens.

Others champion affordable housing and cost of living factors, safe neighborhoods with a diversity of people, careful stewardship of clean air and water, and plentiful amenities, including considerable open space and natural settings. Many work to preserve and enhance a sense of place suited to the locale.

Partners for Livable Communities, a national nonprofit in Washington, D.C., that renews and restores communities, maintains, “Livability is the sum of the factors that add up to a community’s quality of life, including the built and natural environments, economic prosperity, social stability and equity, educational opportunity and cultural, entertainment and recreation possibilities.” The American Association of Retired Persons considers livable communities as age-friendly for young and old alike.

Along with economic opportunities, a leading stimulus in moving to urban centers is, “More people are looking for a sociable environment where they can walk out of their door to the shops or transit and be among others they recognize who also recognize them,” observes Suzanne Lennard, director of the International Making Cities Livable Conferences, LLC, in Portland, Oregon. “People who have traveled abroad, especially to Europe, and tasted the quality of life possible in a truly livable,

walkable, beautiful and sociable city, often want to find such a place to live themselves.”

Following are a few examples of America’s many livable cities. More are transitioning and evolving as city planners, government officials, businesses and nonprofit community organizations strive to make their hometowns both people- and planet-friendly, often through public and private partnerships.

Street-Scene Renaissance

In Pittsburgh, revitalization is transforming 10,000 parcels of vacant or abandoned land—some where steel mills formerly operated—into greenspace, bike lanes and other enticing and productive public areas.

“Biking and our food scene have exploded,” says Chris Sandvig, director of policy with the Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group, which advocates for equitable urban revitalization through their Vacant Property Working Group, helping communities access blighted areas for pennies on the dollar. “We’re now one of the top 10 bicycling commuter cities in the country.

People also come here as food tourists due to vibrant local agricultural activity.”

“A related ideal is to create compact, human-scale, mixed-use urban centers in the suburbs that are less expensive to construct— and thus remain more affordable—while placing shops, schools, parks, services, workplaces and public transit within walking and biking distance,” Lennard notes. “This ensures a healthy, affordable and high quality of life for all; suburban, as well as urban.”

Fast-growing Carmel, Indiana, just north of Indianapolis, is following suit. “After years of watching the suburbs sprawl into subdivisions with large lawns, privacy fences

and cul-de-sacs, we created a vibrant central core with apartments, townhomes, condos and new options for smaller homes—all within walking distance or a short bike ride to new places to work, shop and dine,” explains Mayor James Brainard. The design efforts serve people instead of cars.

“Carmel has spent the last 20-plus years building more than 900 miles of trails and multi-use pathways, enabling residents to commute by bicycle to work and enjoy easy access to a growing number of parks and recreational areas,” says Brainard. To facilitate traffic flow, some 100 roundabouts replaced stoplights and four-way stops.

“Reducing traffic congestion has improved our air quality, and saved gasoline and lives.” A new, mixed-use downtown Arts and Design District includes a Center for the Performing Arts with a Center Green that hosts a farmers’ market in summer and an outdoor Christkindlmarkt and outdoor skating rink in winter.

“The old way of doing things in which cities and towns sat back and let the market dictate how a community should be grown must come to an end,” remarks Brainard, advocating the benefits of local governance.

www.MichiganHealthyLiving.com

Key elements of smart cities—sensors, cameras, data analytics and powerful networks that capture and relay vital information— help them become more energy-efficient or quicker to respond to environmental and residential issues. Such products highlighted the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas. Reducing traffic can also contribute to safer highways and shorter commutes with decreased greenhouse gas emissions.

“Citizens are using apps to monitor issues and alert city managers, improving the livability of their communities,” explains Steve Koenig, senior director of market research with the Consumer Technology Association.

In Boston, the app BOS:311 allows residents to instantaneously notify government departments of pollution concerns, like blocked drains and other environmental or community needs, feeding the information directly into the city’s work order system via their mobile phone. This real-time collaboration results in a cleaner, safer and healthier city.

The Envision Charlotte project encompasses interactive kiosks in 64 businesses and government buildings citywide, gathering energy usage data for office buildings to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. So far, energy consumption has dropped 19 percent, saving companies about $26 million. The program has strengthened economic competitiveness and environmental sustainability.

Nature in the City

Some cities have focused on the natural environment for improving local livability while mitigating contributions to climate change. Forested open spaces, wetlands and protected watersheds improve air quality, protect drinking water and buffer intense storms. Such areas also connect more people with nature and engage them in communal and healthy outdoor recreation.

Portland, Oregon, boasts more than 10,000 acres of parks, plus an innovative Biketown sharing program that has facilitated 160,000 bike trips since its launch in 2016.

The city’s Bike Bill requires all new streets to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians by design. Portland also embraces urban gardens and allows residents to raise chickens, bees, goats or rabbits in their backyards.

No one wants to live where pollution runs unchecked or water is unsafe to drink.

Philadelphia’s Green City, Clean Waters program works to keep stormwater out of sewers and reduce rainwater runoff through decentralized soil-based and plant-based systems, including pervious pavement, green roofs and rain gardens. Begun in 2011, its goal is to reduce rainwater runoff by 85 percent by 2036. Rainwater has become a valuable community resource.

The program is just one of many ways that the City of Brotherly Love is transforming itself into one of the greenest in the United States. Overseen by the city’s Office of Sustainability, Greenworks Philadelphia devises long-term sustainability strategies that encompass eight facets, including clean and efficient energy, carbon-neutrality and zero waste. Preparations are already underway to cope with a hotter, wetter future.

Preserving a Sense of Place

Making communities livable goes beyond

VELSCOPE SCREENINGS FOR ORAL CANCER O ral cancer is a big deal. Like with any other type of cancer, when caught early, it can be treated easily and is likely to have a minimal impact on your life and your health.

It is often not easy to tell during a regular exam if a patient has tissue changes that indicate oral cancer.

However, your southeast Michigan dentist does have a tool that can show tissue changes in your mouth and help us find oral cancer early and reduce the impacts to your mouth.

Oral Cancer Basics

All types of cancer are indicated by changes in the way your tissues look and grow. We hear a lot about things like breast cancer, prostate cancer or skin cancer, but oral cancer isn’t really in the news. Surprisingly, oral cancer is more prevalent than expected, being the 6th most diagnosed type of cancer worldwide.

Like these other types of cancer, oral cancer affects the way the tissues inside of your mouth and jaw grow. The signs of oral or mouth cancer can be very obvious like the appearance of lumps, sores or lesions. However, the signs can also be less obvious such as an achy jaw, an ear ache, or a lingering sore throat. Having a great tool allows us to determine if your symptoms are from oral cancer or if you have some other issue that we need to consider.

The VELScope

A great new tool that we have to help us screen for oral cancer is the VELScope. The VELScope is not a tool that diagnoses cancer, but it does help us determine if there are changes to the cells in the tissues of the mouth.

The VELScope uses a process called “Tissue Fluorescence” to indicate areas within the mouth where changes to cell growth or structure have occurred. The light used is a blue light which causes no harm to your mouth, but shows changes in tissue by causing them to glow or “fluoresce.” The glow-

ing tissues only indicate places where cancerous cells may be growing, and it is not a tool to diagnose cancer, but rather to help us screen your mouth for cancer.

Next Steps?

So, what happens if we find places in your mouth where oral cancer may be present? Well the first step is to schedule a biopsy.

A biopsy will allow us to determine if the changes that we noted with the VELScope are cancerous and if so whether they are benign or malignant.

Once we know what is happening in your mouth from the biopsies, we can then determine a plan of treatment.

If you do have cancerous changes in your mouth, we will likely refer you to a doctor that specializes in treating oral cancer so that you can have the best possible treatment.

What Can You Do?

In many cases, oral cancer is preventable. If you smoke or use other tobacco products, it’s a good idea to stop using them. Tobacco has been closely linked to mouth and other types of cancer. Using tobacco while undergoing cancer treatments can make them less effective and increased your risk for ongoing oral health issues.

The same is true for alcohol, if you consume alcohol, it’s a good idea to avoid consuming alcohol especially during any treatments for oral cancer.

Then make sure you work closely with your doctor and dentist, and follow all care and medication instructions so that your treatment is successful and you can move on with your life, cancer-free.

HPS Advanced Dental wants you to have a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile. If you are concerned about the health of your mouth, or if you think that you may have concerning changes in your mouth or throat, don’t wait until it’s too late. Call us today at 248-652-0024 to schedule an appointment.

infrastructure. Actions usually involve preserving, protecting and enhancing what appeals to residents. Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one example of many where livability priorities are guided by the values of its residents and its sense of place.

“From our historic public square and marketplaces to outdoor cafes, farmers’ markets and community festivals; from human-scale architecture and balanced transportation to pedestrian and bicycle networks, this place represents shared values,” says Mayor Javier M. Gonzales.

“Santa Fe is also full of public art. The city is designed to be safe, creative and inspiring for young and old, families of all kinds and everyone else that comes to see us.”

Good Life as Kids See It

Ultimately, making cities move livable for children can make them highly livable for all. “Children need the same things from a city that we all need, but their needs are greater than ours,” says Lennard. “The environment a child grows up in shapes their health and their mental and social development for the rest of their lives. Our modern, unwalkable suburban environments are contributing to childhood obesity, which has been widely linked to chronic diseases that in the past were only associated with old age.”

She notes, “Children need the exercise of walking or biking to school. They need safe streets so they can become indepen-

dent and explore their neighborhoods; sidewalks and other outdoor areas where they can play, meet friends and interact with adults in the community; easy access to nature; beauty in their environment; and intriguing architecture, works of art and other places to stimulate their affection and imagination. As they become teenagers, they need access by foot or bike to a wide variety of resources to broaden their horizons. Don’t we all need these things?”

With so many companies selling essential oils, are you confused????

How to Choose Essential Oils

“We take the stewardship of our planet seriously. Our State of the Art production process brings you the purest (essential) oils on Earth.

We call it Seed To Seal®. It’s not a slogan — it’s our Calling.”

(By the Founder of YOUNG LIVING™ ESSENTIAL OILS )

Y

OUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS — established over 20 years ago — laid the foundation for the company’s total commitment to using the purist seed, sustainable cultivation, optimum distillation, extensive testing of each batch of oils, and quality control inspection of each bottle to assure the purest, most potent essential oils available in the world.

(SeedToSeal.com)

Today, YOUNG LIVING’S Vision has grown into a world wide, essential-oil trend, and the trend is fueled by the consumer’s strong desire to by-pass toxin-laden, synthetic scents used in many products.

Unfortunately, as with any trend, many competitive companies have been spawned that attempt to convince the consumer that their products are “pure essential oils” too, but instead may utilize synthetic oil imitations, or oils made from genetically modified seeds, or oils diluted with carrier oils, or oils distilled from plants grown with pesticides and/or herbicides –all of which distorts, weakens and chemically changes the innate power of essential oils,

Pets Welcome Here Happy Places to Live and Travel Together

by Sandra Murphy

A

s of last year, 90 million dogs lived in American homes. Including cats, birds, fish, small animals and reptiles, the grand total is 393 million, reports the American Pet Products Association. Pets are considered family members by 95 percent of their people. Accordingly, pets are a key consideration in choosing a friendly place to live or visit.

The personal finance website WalletHub analyzed the most pet-friendly U.S. cities encompassing criteria inclusive of access to veterinarians and cost, pet insurance rates, pet-friendly restaurants, pet-centric businesses, dog parks and animal shelters. SmartAsset, a personal finance technology company, ranked cities by dog parks, pet-friendly restaurants and stores, walkability, weather and housing costs. Unsurprisingly, many high picks are in warmer climates.

What to Seek

“First, look for pet-friendly landlords. Space to play, socialize and exercise animals is next on my list, followed by breweries and

restaurants that allow dogs on their patios,” says Alexandra Bassett, a professional dog trainer and owner of Dog Savvy Los Angeles. “I hike off-leash in Runyon Canyon and we visit the Pawbar at Pussy & Pooch, a pet lifestyle boutique, to mingle and sample treats. Food is the fastest way to make a dog comfortable in just about any setting.”

Irvine and Carlsbad, California, and Portland, Maine, are among the first cities to ban use of toxic pesticides in public areas and homes, following pressure from local groups. Being closer to the ground and smaller in size, pets suffer adverse reactions faster than humans. Contact local environmental groups to help ban harmful insecticides and herbicides in public areas.

In Pasco County, Florida, Epperson Community homes exemplify eco- and pet-friendly planning, with open spaces and solar power-lit trails for jogging and walking. Birdhouses throughout the property welcome wild feathered friends. A centerpiece lagoon enhances scenic walks and uses less water and energy than a traditional pool or golf course. Separate paths

allocated for bikes and driverless cars keep dog walkers safe.

Colony Cove, in Ellenton, Florida, is a 55-plus retirement community that allows multiple pets, including some breeds banned elsewhere. It maintains a large dog park, and at summer’s end, dogs are welcome to take a dip in the pool. Further, the association offers mobile groomers, photos with Santa and costume contests.

All species are welcome at Rose Villa Senior Living, in Portland, Oregon, where residents’ request for an off-leash dog park play area was granted. One resident owns two dogs, two cats and an African gray parrot.

The largest-ever Canadian residential project to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design platinum certification, Calgary’s University District, embraces ecological conservation, habitat restoration and long-term conservation management principles. Designed for residents to age in place with their families, recreational fitness amenities include on- and off-leash dog parks, a pet-friendly activity space and paths leading to parks.

Favorite Activities

Sara Nick, chief content officer at Sidewalk Dog Media, in Minneapolis, suggests experiencing unique adventures. Dog paddling takes on new meaning via stand-up paddleboarding with a pooch at Minnesota’s Split Rock Lighthouse and Tettegouche state parks.

Whatever the weather, equine-friendly pups can ride along in a horse-drawn carriage from Doubletree Carriage Company, in Spring Valley. Dogs are welcome to watch or snooze through film showings at the Long Drive-In, in Long Prairie.

Birgit and Jim Walker, authors of Keep Your Paws on the Road: A Practical Guide to Traveling with Dogs, travel by RV in summer with their three dogs to favorite stops like Tombstone, Arizona.

“Some tourist areas don’t welcome dogs, but in Tombstone, dogs can go for stagecoach rides and down into a mine with you,” she says.

Kim Salerno, president and founder of TripsWithPets.com, in Wake Forest, North Carolina, recommends Kimpton or Aloft hotels. “Kimpton accepts any pet, any size, weight, breed or species. Amenities include a bed, treats, a water bowl and toys with no additional pet fee,” she says.

Salerno continues, “In Asheville, dogs are allowed on the grounds of the Biltmore Estate. The Ernest Hemingway House, in Key West, Florida, allows small, cat-friendly dogs. Boutiques, feed stores, wineries and art galleries may say yes to pets. Ask first and make sure your pet is well-behaved.”

Whether at home or traveling, families can enjoy many opportunities to share new experiences with pets. Just be sure they mind their manners to have a good time.
