sPrinG marks an e xCitinG time OF PrOmi se and new beginnings. with the warming air and longer days, we feel a renewed sense of energy and excitement about what’s ahead—and what’s possible. whether it’s starting a new exercise routine, committing to a healthier diet, going back to school or exploring a new hobby, spring offers the chance to refresh and enhance all aspects of our lives. at triHealth, we are also feeling a sense of renewal this spring as we shape a dynamic future for triHealth and our patients that’s marked by exceptional care, improved community health and outstanding value. thanks to the extraordinar y leadership of my esteemed predecessor, John Prout, we are pursuing this future from a position of great strength and stability. since Januar y 1st, i have had the honor and privilege of continuing the work John so capably led at triHealth for nearly two decades. His dedicated leadership ser vice to triHealth, its staff, patients and the community has enabled our health system to grow from two hospitals to five, with 140 sites of care, 520 employed partner physicians and more than 12,000 employees—all enthusiastically dedicated to improving the health of those we ser ve with great skill, genuine compassion and respect for all.

You have my promise that i will work extremely hard to honor John’s legacy as we continue on our journey to make triHealth a great place for employees to work, for physicians to practice, and for you—our valued community—to receive the best care possible. sincerely,

Together We Triumph

As someone who is not a big fan of winter (which i confided in the last issue of Cincinnati Health & Life), i’m thrilled that spring is right around the corner. i’m looking forward to seeing sunlight when i’m driving home from work and having snowdrops and crocuses make a colorful appearance in my garden. And there are so many wonderful things to do in the Cincinnati area to celebrate the season— there’s the international Butterfly show and the Cincinnati Flower show, which you can read about on page 12. And of course there’s Bockfest, that time-honored homage to beer that takes place in over-the-Rhine the first weekend in march. (see page 44.) it kicks off with a fantastic parade and includes German food and dancing, bock beer tastings, brewery tours, even a 5K. Be sure to put it on your calendar. is booking a spring vacation on your “to do” list? Be sure to read my article about Cancun on page 46 before deciding where to go. i always considered that mexican resort city to be a destination for the carousing college crowd, but i discovered that it’s a great place to embark on a fitness journey. speaking of good health, check out our trio of way-betterthan-cereal breakfast options on page 32. Grain-free granola, poached eggs with cauliflower toasts, coconut and banana pancakes—i’m not sure which one to whip up first. there’s much more to discover in this spring issue of Cincinnati Health & Life. enjoy!

Spring awakening

Finally winter has begun to retreat and the colorful signs of spring are emerging. Fortunately, Cincinnati offers many opportunities to become fully immersed in the blooms of the season.

For instance, from March 26 to April 4, the Krohn Conservatory’s annual International Butterfly Show will once again attract visitors from all over the country. This year’s event is themed “Butterflies of the Caribbean” and features more than 10,000 winged beauties among exotic and foreign plants as well as a 20-foot rainforest waterfall. Admission: $7 (adults), $4 (children).

Or explore your green thumb by coming out to the Cincinnati waterfront at Yeatman’s Cove from April 13 to 17 for the Cincinnati Flower Show.

An array of special events will be held throughout the weekend, including an afternoon tea, a presentation by gardening expert and writer Andrea Wulf, a spring fling featuring live music and even wine and bourbon tastings. For the first time this year, a “Brides and Blooms” event (April 16) will cater to brides-tobe with a fashion show, a bridal brunch and local wedding vendors. Details are available at cincinnatihorticulturalsociety.com.

Spring in our city wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Cincinnati Botanical Garden & Zoo, which boasts one of the largest displays of tulips in the Midwest—about 100,000 colorful blooms. Best time to see them? Every Thursday night in April, the garden presents Tunes & Blooms, a free concert in the tulip garden from 6 to 8:30 p.m. (Admission to the zoo after 5 p.m. is free as well.) Visit cincinnatizoo.org for more information, including a band lineup.

What’s in a name?

When it was founded in 1788, Cincinnati was originally named Losantiville, meaning “the city opposite the mouth of the river,” referring to the Licking River. Two years later, the name was changed by Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest Territory and president of the Society of the Cincinnati, a group that was formed as the Revolutionary War ended and that celebrated the postwar actions of an Ancient Roman leader, Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. Cincinnatus, a farmer, served Rome as a dictator for two weeks to help the city overcome an invasion. After he conquered the attacking tribes, he relinquished power and returned to work on the farm, demonstrating what was considered honorable selflessness and dedication to his homeland.

Cincinnati’s connection with Rome still exists today through its nickname “The City of Seven Hills,” a phrase commonly associated with Rome.

Cook’s delight Novice and experienced Cincy chefs alike know that when they’re gathering ingredients for a creative ethnic meal, Findlay Market in Overthe-Rhine is a sure bet. But finding the right tools—say, certain pots or cooking utensils—isn’t quite as easy.

Enter the husband-and-wife team of Brad and Karen Hughes, who saw the need for a cookware store that would carry hard-to-find items and decided to dedicate their retirement to providing one in their home city.

“You can buy every kind of food on earth [at Findlay Market], but you can’t buy a single thing to cook it with,” Brad has said. The couple’s store, Artichoke, which opens April 2, is conveniently located across the Findlay Market’s northern parking lot. The 880-square-foot space will feature a carefully curated selection of kitchenware from Europe and the U.S., handcrafted items and a demo kitchen, which the Hugheses plan to use for cooking demonstrations by local chefs. Visit the website or follow the shop on Facebook for openingday updates.

The hunt is on

Did you know that Cincinnati gave the world one of the most famous American musical compositions ever—one on par with Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” and Sousa’s “The Stars and Stripes Forever”? It’s been used to wake astronauts on the Space Shuttle and herald the entrance of Queen Elizabeth. Find out the name of its composer on a “treasure hunt” through colorful, historic Over-the-Rhine.

(We know the answer, but we’re not telling!)

It’s one of five Cincinnati history/mystery adventures created by Arthur S. Hunt III, grandson of famed Egyptologist Arthur S. Hunt and a retired professor of literature. Each hunt begins with a question, like the one posed above. Follow the clues successfully and you’ll be brought to the spot where the answer lies.

The entire adventure is guided by your smartphone or tablet. Reserve your day and time, and on the day of the hunt you’ll receive an email containing a link to a “secret” website.

Follow the directions to the first stop/clue (there are 18 on the Over-the-Rhine hunt), and solve a riddle, answer a question or conquer an “I Spy” challenge in order to move on to the next stop. Essentially, the hunt takes you on a self-guided walking tour of Over-the-Rhine, during which you learn a lot of interesting facts and stories about the area.

“Out of the 500 or 600 people who have done the treasure hunts, only one or two people have gotten lost,” says Joseph Dorsey, an assistant to Prof. Hunt, noting that a hunt can take anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours. “They’re challenging, but you should be able to get to the end without any problems. People who have lived here for years and years are surprised at how much they learn by doing this.”

To book a treasure hunt (they’re particularly popular with couples and families with gradeschool children), or find out more information, go to cincinnati treasurehunts .com. The cost: $20 for a group of up to seven people.

Good luck!

Squeezed

to please

When Pilates instructors Annie McKinney and Cydney Rabe got together, the juices started flowing—literally. In the fall of 2014, McKinney and Rabe, along with Rabe’s brother, Steve Vickers, opened Cincinnati’s first cold-pressed juice bar, Off the Vine, in Over-the-Rhine. The concept proved so popular that a second location was opened this past January in downtown Cincinnati.

To make each bottle of juice, up to three pounds of fruits and vegetables are run through a masticator juicer, which extracts the juice from the produce without heat. This, the owners explain, results in juice that is more nutritious and stays fresh longer.

The juices served at Off the Vine range in flavor from savory (romaine, kale, spinach, parsley, celery, ginger, lemon) to sweet (coconut, coconut water, apple, strawberry) to spicy (lemon, grapefruit, turmeric, honey, water). They come in two sizes and range from $5 to $10. (Returning customers can bring the reusable glass bottles back for a discount on their next purchase.) The shops also offer a juice-cleanse option, which costs $55 per day and includes five juices.

A page of history

In the age of e-readers and iPads, independent bookstores have become a rare commodity. But Duttenhofer’s Books in Clifton has managed to maintain its staying power. Now in its 40th year, this shop has supplied the Cincinnati area with a wide assortment of used and rare books—some dating back five centuries.

The secret to its success, owner Kim Steiziek explains, is the passion its customers have for owning a piece of history, whether it’s a bible from 1752 that was once available at the shop or a collection of art and photography books that became available this

Clear your space, mind and conscience Do you stress about the mess in your home? If the answer is yes, you’re not alone. In a Huffington Post national survey, Americans reported that worries over their house’s cleanliness and organization were one of their top five stress triggers.

Fortunately, spring-cleaning season is around the corner, and there’s more than one reason to straighten up and declutter. Cleaning and organizing have been linked to increased happiness and productivity as well as lowered stress levels.

Also, a study published in Psychological Science showed that having a clean space promotes both healthier eating and generosity.

Here’s a tip for when you’re done: Make a donation that can help less fortunate individuals reap the benefits you’re experiencing. Vineyard Cincinnati, a church congregation, will accept donations of cleaning products during Easter weekend to help others accomplish their spring-cleaning goals. The items can be dropped off in designated carts in the lobbies of all Vineyard Cincinnati locations (Clifton, Eastgate, Middletown and Springdale). They will be donated to The Healing Center in Springdale, which offers practical, social and spiritual support to individuals and families. Visit vineyardcincinnati.com for details or directions.

past fall. “People have an affection for good-quality books—and those books deserve to be handed down through generations,” she says.

Although the digital age has been a challenge for bricks-and-mortar stores, it also has allowed Steiziek to expand her customer base to a global market—she’s sold books to individuals and organizations around the world and says that Internet sales are crucial to her store’s survival. “I think of the store a little bit like an animal shelter,” she has said. “[The books] need to be protected, and they need to get safely from one home to the next.”

Taking women’s health care to a

new level Need a mammogram? Nutrition consultation? Annual checkup?

The Women’s Center Kenwood offers comprehensive services for females over 40—under one roof.

“we can encourage women to be more proactive in their own health care and work with them on their health through wellness education.”

—Paula Lafranconi, M.D. Women in their 40s and older have different health care needs than women of childbearing age. Perimenopausal and menopausal women, for example, experience symptoms that often are not taken seriously or properly treated—weight gain, sleep problems, mood changes. And while postmenopausal women are no longer concerned about pregnancy, they are at increased risk for breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

TriHealth understands that this group of women has special needs, and a few years ago decided to address those needs in a new way. That vision is now a reality at TriHealth Women’s Center Kenwood—the only facility in the Cincinnati area to bring together under one roof all of the medical and wellness services that women over 40 need.

These services are combined with a holistic approach to care to help women in this age group live healthier, more satisfying lives.

In 2014, TriHealth began studying where female patients went for health care, and found two distinct subsets, says Paula Lafranconi, M.D., medical director of TriHealth Women’s Center Kenwood. “One group is having children, the other is aging,” she says.

“We wanted to focus on the special concerns of women as they age. We picked age 40 thinking that this is when most women are beyond their childbearing years and thus have different health care needs.”

When women are raising children, they are necessarily more focused on their fami-

lies, Dr. Lafranconi says. “But there comes a point where it’s time to focus on their own health needs.” Providing a single location to access most of the services those women might require or desire makes it easier than ever to coordinate the various types of care.

These services include: primary care, gynecology, urogynecology, gastroenterology and other specialties. Diagnostic testing— mammography, bone density scans, cardiac testing—is on site as well. Behavioral health services are available as is nutrition counseling. Alternative medicine services such as acupuncture and medical massage are also offered here.

The center itself is designed to appeal to women and the providers who specialize in women’s health. Focus groups helped choose the design elements. “It is a warm and inviting space, a bit more feminine than the typical medical office—but not pink,” Dr. Lafranconi says.

“It’s more than just a place for women’s care,” she continues. “The Women’s Center is a destination that takes women’s health to a new level. It is a place where we can encourage women to be more proactive in their own health care and work with them on their health through wellness education. We are all very excited.”

A welcoming place for all your health care needs TriHealth Kenwood is a fully integrated facility where patients can access all the physicians, specialists and services they might need—in one convenient location.

“When we designed TriHealth Kenwood, integration was the one word that came to mind,” says Steve Mombach, vice president for ambulatory services.

“Our focus was on each patient having a seamless experience while accessing the care he or she needs.”

To learn more about the comprehensive services available at TriHealth Kenwood, please call 513.853.7555. Services include: ■ ■ Nearly 70 primary care, pediatric and specialist physicians ■ ■ Diagnostic imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, computed tomography and bone density scans) ■ ■ Cardiovascular testing

Weight loss, the smart way Amy Hudoba

Tempted by quickreducing fad diets? Here’s a “slow and steady” program that will help you keep those pounds off.

When it comes to healthy living, some disciplined folk make the right choices all by themselves, but Amy Hudoba isn’t one of them. “I do really well in a group setting,” she says. That’s why she’s thriving in the TriHealth Fitness & Health Pavilion’s HealthOne Weight Loss Program.

Hudoba is a well-known figure in the TriHealth world along with her Bedlington terrier, Sparky. Together they visit the health system’s facilities offering pet therapy to patients through their work with Therapy Pets of Greater Cincinnati. She decided she wanted to lose weight—partly to address a high blood pressure condition she’s had for years. While Sparky does make a difference with her blood pressure, she decided to participate in the HealthOne program for additional support.

Hudoba, 72, and her husband, Bob, 69, live in Loveland Miami Township.

They have two children. Retired from P&G, Amy now offers pet therapy “several days a week, all over the tristate area,” she says. She joined the weight-loss program this past fall. “I wanted to make some lifestyle changes so I could go off my blood-pressure medicines,” she says. “I made this decision on my own, but my cardiologist and primary care physician both approved.”

She says the HealthOne Weight Loss Program appeals to her because it combines nutrition

A reducing program that works The TriHealth Fitness & Health Pavilion’s HealthOne Weight Loss Program encourages participants to aim for losing an average of 1 to 2 pounds per week, which is considered a sustainable goal.

To help participants do that, its 24 weekly sessions take up different topics each week. Among these are:

 “Our Toxic Environment”  “Expectations, Wishes and Reality”  “That Has HOW Many Calories?”  “Goal Setting”  “Meal Planning” To learn more about the TriHealth Fitness & Health Pavilion’s HealthOne Weight Loss Program, please call 513.246.2606.

and exercise for successful and sustainable weight loss. “It’s phenomenal in that it directs individuals on the proper way to lose weight—‘slow and steady wins the race,’” she says. “Fad diets where you lose a lot of weight very quickly never work because everyone gains the weight back just as fast.”

The program’s exercise component is as important as nutrition, Hudoba reports. “It’s great to be able to attend the weight-loss classes at TriHealth Fitness & Health Pavilion and exercise at the same facility,” she says. “And it’s especially convenient to be able to exercise before or after class in addition to the other days I exercise there.”

During the 24-week program, participants meet for weekly hour-long sessions. A registered dietitian leads each session, and for the first few weeks, participants’ diets consist of protein shakes augmented with veggies and fruits throughout the day.

As class members learn more about healthy eating habits, they make the transition to full meals, all the while discussing nutrients, tracking calories and incorporating lasting lifestyle changes into their daily eating habits.

“We’re given a shopping list every week and a meal plan for the week, including daily meals and snacks,” Hudoba says.

Personal trainers also come in to teach program members about the contribution vigorous activity makes to weight control. “They emphasize exercise, and if you’re new to TriHealth Fitness & Health Pavilion you make an appointment with a personal trainer, who sets up a workout program for you and helps you put it into action,” she says.

For Hudoba, the group dynamic is an important assist. Her husband is healthconscious on his own, she says, “but I needed a class.

Just in conversation with others, you learn a lot. You find out, for instance, that you are not the only person having a particular concern.

Like at Christmastime, one topic was holiday eating, and class members share tips and guidance.”

Halfway through the program, Hudoba has lost about 12 pounds. “I’m

never hungry,” she says. “I don’t feel restricted, and this doesn’t prevent me from going out with friends.

When I do, I have chicken or fish with salad, which is very easy to do.” Her blood pressure hasn’t changed—her doctor believes her hypertension may have a genetic origin rather than being weight-related—but she has garnered other benefits. “I feel very energized, not as tired as before,” she says. “I just feel better overall—stronger. I sleep really well, better than before, which is also important in controlling weight.”

Hudoba’s improved health helps her keep up with Sparky during her pet therapy sessions, as they travel around the region, visiting facilities that include Bethesda North Hospital and the Hospice of Cincinnati’s Blue Ash Inpatient Unit. The pair brings smiles to TriHealth patients and even helps children improve their reading skills by working with them one on one—“reading to the dogs in a special classroom enables the children to relax,” she says.

Hudoba has been a pet therapist for 12 years, and hopes to keep at it for a long time. “My goal is to live to be 105,” she says, “and the only way to get there is with a healthy lifestyle, which includes nutritional eating and physical exercise.”

Battling brittle bones Her grandmother suffered with osteoporosis.

So does her mom. But with today’s improved prevention, she hopes to avoid their fate.

Have you been screened for osteoporosis?

Doctors say that starting at age 65, healthy women should have a bone density test—otherwise known as a Dexa scan—every two years to predict their risk of bone fractures. If that risk is high, they may be advised to increase their intake of calcium and vitamin D and perhaps to take a medication to protect bone mass.

To learn more about bone density screening tests at TriHealth, please call 513.246.7000.

Cindy Fackler, 54, looks so much like her mother and grandmother that if you put pictures of them at the same age side by side “they’d look like clones,” says Cindy’s husband, Jon Fackler, M.D., an obstetrician/gynecologist with TriHealth. “As young women they were all petite and beautiful.” But their shared genetic heritage carries with it a curse as well as a blessing. All three women have had brittle bones caused by osteoporosis.

Cindy, though, is luckier than her relatives. She can take advantage of increased knowledge, modern diagnostic screening tests and better treatments to avoid the complications that caused her grandmother and mother to suffer numerous fractures of the spine and hip, along with chronic pain, which impaired her grandmother’s life and now keeps her mother seriously debilitated.

Osteoporosis, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is a “silent disease.” It makes bones weak and more likely to break, but it causes no other symptoms, so it’s possible not to know you have it until you suffer a fracture. Anyone can develop osteoporosis, but it is most common in older women. As many as half of all women and a quarter of men older than 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis, the NIH says.

Aging is a contributing factor—we all reach our peak total bone mass in our 20s, and it declines from there. However, women are more likely to develop osteoporosis because they have less bone mass than men and tend to live longer and take in less calCindy and her husband, cium. In addition, bone loss increases after Jon Fackler, M.D. menopause, when levels of estrogen, which helps maintain healthy bones, fall.

There’s also a genetic component that’s a big concern for Cindy, a pediatric nurse practitioner in Loveland who stays home to raise the couple’s five children. She traces her disease back to her late grandmother, Meta Hurrelbrink. “She had compression fractures of her spine and was in a lot of pain,” Cindy remembers. “I was one of her primary caregivers. She eventually fell and fractured a hip, and lived only six months more, dying at 83.”

Cindy’s mother, Mary Hetrick, 79, says her osteoporosis is even worse than her mother’s was. She and her husband, William, 81, live in Van Wert, Ohio. She began having chronic back pain about five years ago, and testing revealed she had suffered a series of compression fractures in her vertebrae. Vertebrae have continued to collapse on her over the years, and now she has lost about five inches in height and is noticeably bent. She managed at first to deal with the chronic pain, continuing to volunteer at her local hospital and keep up with a circle of friends. But last fall she fell and broke her hip. It has not healed well, and she is now unable to get around. “It’s discouraging, and it limits my social life,” says Hetrick, who is otherwise quite healthy.

In Hetrick’s youth, little was known about osteoporosis. She did not drink milk as a child because she didn’t care for the taste, and she didn’t exercise. And there were no screening tests available. During the 1970s a doctor suggested she go on calcium supplements, “but he said it rather flippantly, so I didn’t really think about it,” she recalls. “I didn’t know much about osteoporosis, and of course you don’t feel anything at that stage. It’s not that scary a disease until it hits you.” Since it hit her, she has become acutely aware of the condition, and she’s now on medica-

tions, but it may be too late for them to help much.

“And at going on 80, you have these problems,” she says philosophically.

That may not be the case for her daughter, however, and Cindy is doing everything she can to avoid those problems. “My mom is now very fragile, but she’s always been a person of high energy,” she says. “Her mind is good, but her body is in pain all time. This has changed my parents’ life a lot, and I am hoping to avoid that for myself.”

The odds are now in her favor, thanks to new understanding of the mechanism of the disease, new ways to detect it early and new medications that help maintain bone health.

Like her mother, Cindy didn’t like to drink milk and never exercised as a child. But unlike her mom, at age 34 she had her first bone scan, which revealed that she had osteopenia—low bone density that had not yet progressed to osteoporosis. She started on calcium supplements but, because she was not finished having children, could not take stronger preventive medications, which are not safe to take during childbearing years. She also became a “fierce advocate” of weight-bearing exercise, which builds bone strength.

Cindy began getting regular bone scans beginning at age 41, and at 44 she started taking Boniva (ibandronate sodium), a popular preventive medication. After menopause, she also started hormone replacement therapy, which can help maintain bone health.

It hasn’t been entirely smooth sailing. In 2014 Cindy broke her foot, and healing was slow. “I was in a boot for four months, and had to use crutches and a scooter for a long time,” she says. But her foot did heal eventually.

Despite that setback “it is unlikely Cindy will have long-term disability,” Dr. Fackler says. “We can’t be certain that she won’t have more fractures, but she is doing everything possible to minimize that danger.”

So is their daughter, Katie, 17. “She is built very much like me and my mother, so she has a lot of the same risk factors,” Cindy says. “She drinks milk, and she is very physically active. She even did a research paper for school on osteoporosis. I think she has a better chance at avoiding it.”

Dr. Fackler certainly hopes so. As much as he loves his mother-in-law, he hopes his wife’s and daughter’s photos at age 80 do not match Mary’s. “I tease Mary and call her ‘the boneless granny,’” Dr. Fackler says. “She is a wonderful, beautiful woman, and I’d like Cindy to be like everything about her— except her bones.”

Risk factors for osteoporosis Some risk factors for osteoporosis are beyond your control, while others can be prevented with healthy lifestyle choices. Talk to your family doctor about your risk factors and what you need to do to protect your bones, and check this list of risk factors:

UNCONTROLLABLE

CONTROLLABLE:

 Being female: Women are more likely to have osteoporosis than men.

 Not getting enough calcium and/or vitamin D.

 Age: The older you get, the more likely you are to develop the disease.  Race: Caucasians and Asians are more likely to develop osteoporosis.  Genetics: You’re more likely to develop osteoporosis if you have a family history of the condition.  Menopause: Hormonal changes caused by menopause may increase the risk of osteoporosis. This is especially true for women who have early menopause (before age 45).  Body frame: People who have small, thin body frames are more likely to develop the disease.

 Not getting enough exercise.  Smoking or tobacco use.  Alcohol abuse.  Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa.  Hormone imbalances, such as low estrogen or testosterone, or too much thyroid hormone.  Long-term use of certain medicines, such as corticosteroids, which are prescribed to treat inflammation, pain and chronic conditions such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis, or of medicines that treat acid reflux by reducing stomach acid—possibly also reducing calcium absorption.

Use the products separately and rinse between applications.

C

hild-resistant locks should be installed on any cabinet within reach of little ones that contains medications, matches, lighters or cleaning supplies. rills can cause fire, electric shock and injury if used improperly. Wear safety goggles and avoid loose-fitting clothing (oversized sleeves can get caught around the drill).

Don’t touch the bit after use since it may be hot and can cause severe burns.

E

lectrical cords should be regularly inspected for damage. Never nail or tack the cords, and do not store them under heavy objects, as excessive pressure may lead to overheating and an electrical fire. ive-gallon buckets should be kept on countertops when full, to prevent any risk of drowning. Young children, looking in or grabbing for suds, may end up headfirst underwater.

erosene heaters can help supply warmth during a power outage, but can cause fires if used improperly. Accidents can result from using gasoline instead of kerosene in the heater, inadequately ventilating the space or spilling the kerosene indoors. Be sure to keep kerosene in a clearly marked container, use only in well-ventilated areas and refill the heater outdoors.

Grain-free granola

with rose water, apricot and pistachio Makes 1 large jar

This heavenly, fruity combination is quite decadent and not cheap to make; however, it lasts a long time and is not the kind of granola you would have a huge bowl of. Serve it with a sprinkle of fresh fruit and yogurt on top. n ¼ cup raw coconut oil n 1/3 cup honey n 1/3 cup maple syrup n 2 cups coconut chips n 1 cup pistachios, coarsely chopped n 1 cup almonds, very coarsely chopped n ¾ cup sunflower seeds n ½ cup pumpkin seeds n 1 tsp. rose water (optional) n 1½ cups dried apricots, coarsely chopped

n 2 Tbs. hemp seeds n 2–3 Tbs. dried rose petals (optional)

Preheat the oven to 325ºF and line two deep-sided baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt the coconut oil, honey and maple syrup in a small saucepan until it starts to bubble and simmer, then turn off the heat.

Combine the coconut chips, pistachios, almonds, and sunflower and pumpkin seeds in a large bowl. Pour in the honey mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined. There should be enough of the honey mixture to lightly coat all the dry mix, but if you feel there is not enough, just add more honey mix using equal amounts of melted honey and coconut oil.

Spread the mixture onto the lined baking sheets, making a layer that isn’t too deep, otherwise it won’t all crisp up. Bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring every 3–4 minutes so that all the mix turns a lovely golden color and doesn’t burn, which it can do easily due to the coconut. Remove from the oven, let cool a little, then sprinkle with the rose water (if using) and scatter in the dried apricots and hemp seeds. Lastly, stir through the petals (if using).

Let cool completely before transferring into an airtight jar. Use within two weeks.

poached eggs

with cauliflower toasts, kale and dukkah Serves 2

This delicious ensemble is a serious treat. Cauliflower toasts give the poached eggs something to sit on and add texture without the need for bread. n 1 whole cauliflower, outer leaves removed n 3 Tbs. cold-pressed olive oil n 5 Tbs. dukkah (an Egyptian spice blend) or lightly crushed cumin seeds, plus extra to serve

n 2 Tbs. cold-pressed olive oil n 1 Tb. butter n 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced n ½ medium red chile (optional), finely sliced n 6–8 kale leaves, on the large side, center stalks stripped out

n 4 free-range eggs n Pinch of salt To serve

n Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil n Juice of ½ lemon n A few twists of black pepper

Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the cauliflower across into four slices of “toast” about ½-¾ inch thick. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the oil, sprinkle with dukkah, place the toasts on your pan and pop into the oven for about 30 minutes until they start to turn golden.

After 20 minutes, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and butter in a medium casserole or Dutch oven with a lid over medium heat.

Add the garlic and chile (if using), stir for 30 seconds, add the kale, then a few tablespoons of water and a pinch of salt. Cover tightly with the lid and braise for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You may need to turn the heat down or add a little extra water if it is cooking too furiously.

Place a wide, deep saucepan over high heat and fill it with boiling water. Bring it to a light simmer and add a pinch of salt. Carefully crack one egg into a cup, then gently pour it into the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining eggs and cook to your liking.

Depending on their size, a soft-poached egg takes about 2 minutes and a soft-to-firm one needs about 4 minutes.

When everything is ready, place the cauliflower toasts onto warm plates, top with the eggs and place the kale alongside. Sprinkle with a little extra dukkah and drizzle with cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, then squeeze some lemon over the kale and season with a few twists of pepper.

coconut and banana pancakes serves 2–3

These little pancakes are great topped with fresh fruit and yogurt for breakfast or brunch, or served as an afternoon snack. n 2 ripe medium bananas, coarsely chopped n 4 whole eggs n 2 Tbs. honey n ¾ cup unsweetened, dried coconut flakes n 1 cup almond meal n ½ tsp. gluten-free baking powder n Coconut oil or ghee To serve

n A few spoonfuls of your favorite yogurt n Handful of your favorite seasonal fruit n Toasted coconut or cacao nibs

Put the bananas, eggs and honey in a food processor and purée until light and fluffy (or use a bowl and an immersion blender). Add the coconut, almond meal and baking powder and beat to combine.

Heat up a tiny amount of coconut oil or ghee in your frying pan over low-medium heat. Cook in batches, allowing a large spoonful of mix per pancake—too big and they are really hard to flip, so keep them small. Cook thoroughly—they should take about 1½ minutes on each side; you will know when to flip once little bubbles start to appear on the surface. Keep warm and continue to cook the rest of the batter, adding a little more oil to the pan between batches.

Serve while hot and delicious, with some of your favorite toppings.

financial balance

your stolen life: 10 tips to guard against identity theft.

Everything comes out all right in the 1946 movie A Stolen Life, in which Bette Davis plays identical twins, one of whom steals the other’s identity.

But if a thief steals your life, no happy ending is assured.

Approximately 15 million Americans have their identities used fraudulently each year, with financial losses totaling more than $5 billion, estimates identity theft expert Rob Douglas. “The sophistication level of professional identity thieves continues to grow along with the methods they develop,” he says. “It’s an ever-increasing threat. Quite simply, every individual is vulnerable to attack.”

A hacker who gets hold of your personal data can open fraudulent credit card accounts and run up bills in your name. Your finances, credit—and reputation—could suffer for years.

To avoid this fate, heed these do’s and don’ts: DO make sure a Web page is secure—that is, professionally encrypted against hackers—before entering personal data. Encrypted pages have Web addresses that begin with “https” (“hypertext transfer protocol secure”).

DO monitor bank statements for unauthorized withdrawals and get an annual credit report to check for suspicious activity. Under federal law, the credit-monitoring companies Experian, TransUnion and Equifax (experian.com, transunion.com and equifax.com) must send your report free on request once

1 2

38

a year. Scour the list of credit lines and make sure none of them are open without your consent.

DO stop credit card solicitations.

Banks and other companies you’re doing business with sell your name and address to direct-mail marketers, which use that information to mail you credit card offers. These mailings are dangerous, Douglas says, because someone else could intercept them and set up a fraudulent account in your name. Stop the solicitations by calling companies of which you’re a customer and asking that they cease selling your information.

DO shred outdated documents containing personal data, including receipts, insurance forms, physician statements, canceled checks, bank and credit card statements, and expired charge cards. Douglas suggests using a cross-cut shredder, which cuts paper into smaller pieces than a less expensive strip-cut shredder. (Shred the labels from used prescription bottles too.)

DO consider an identity theft protection service. For a monthly fee, companies such as LifeLock and Identity Guard will monitor your data on an ongoing basis, alert you if your data is breached and help you recover your loss.

DON’T email personal data. If a company you’re doing business with requests your Social Security number, credit card account number or other personal data, give the information through the company’s secure online portal or

over the phone. But before sending anything, call the company. Ask why they need your information and how they plan to use it. Also, don’t reply to an email from an address you don’t recognize.

DON’T fall for unbelievable deals.

Often, hackers masquerade as established retailers. They send falsely branded mass emails inviting you to “click here” for an outrageous discount, but the link activates a “spyware” program that intercepts your data.

DON’T carry your Social Security card. Store it in a strongbox or other secure place to prevent loss or theft.

DON’T apply for credit at point of purchase. Some chain retailers offer deep discounts on merchandise if you apply on the spot for their branded credit card. If you take the bait, you’re giving a stranger (the salesperson) access to your information. (Anyway, opening that extra account could lower your credit score. Is that a price you really want to pay to save 15 percent on a shirt or blouse?)

DON’T access secure sites in public or use a public ATM. In coffee shops and bookstores the WiFi typically is unsecure, and someone could be spying as you strike those keys.

Sometimes, when an ATM is outdoors or in a supermarket, hackers can attach small, deceptively designed skimming devices to them that pick up your account and routing numbers. For that reason, use only the indoor ATM at your local bank. —pete kelly

Gatherings

good time, good cause PROTECTING YOUNG ATHLETES FROM concussion injuries is a serious cause. But it was the occasion for great fun at the recent 32nd annual gala held by the Good Samaritans of the Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation at the Hyatt Regency.

The event was tagged “My Big Fat Italian Gala.” Indeed, after a cocktail reception, the 630-plus attendees enjoyed a gourmet dinner of that nation’s cuisine—followed by dancing in sunglasses, bracelets, rings and blinking hats.

There were also limoncello and gelato bars, a palm reader, a green-screen photo booth and other attractions.

The gala raised $500,000 for the Good Samaritan Hospital Concussion Management Program (serving school athletes at all levels) and for Good Samaritan’s Free Health Center and its Medical Education Research Fund. Gala chair Cindy Rodriguez and co-chair Sarah Klein worked with physician champion Emily Dixon, D.O. And corporate sponsors included AK Steel Corp., Fifth Third Bank, Macy’s, Phillips Supply Co., SC Ministry Foundation and Seven Hills Anestehsia–Obstetrics Division. Musical entertainment was underwritten by the hospital’s medical and dental staff.

Getting fit in

Cancun This pleasure-seekers’ paradise, it turns out, is also a great place to shape up. by rita guarna

Famous as a destination for carousing spring bre akers, Cancun may seem an unlikely place to embark on a fitness journey. But that’s just where I went recently to jump-start mine.

Located in a beautiful natural setting on the eastern tip of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, it’s about four hours away by air via flights to Cancun International Airport.

The JW Marriott, a quiet 448-room resort just off the busy “hotel zone,” offers a Wellness Beach Retreat package that includes oceanview rooms, a spa treatment, one-day cabana rental and credit toward group fitness classes.

I hoped to get some sun, have some fun and get back into a fitness routine. First up: a surefire way to punch up one’s wellness quest—an hour-long boxing class.

Truth be told, I was curious, as I’d never done it. But when some friends suggested that I pop two ibuprofens beforehand, well, curiosity turned to fear. (This, of course, says more about my level of fitness than anything else!) Calling the five-person group session “fun” might be a stretch, but there were plenty of giggles amid the panting and sighs. As in many boot-campesque sessions, there were stations, all designed for different benefits— strength, speed, agility, endurance—and we rotated among them. Our instructor, Malcolm, a former national bodybuilding champ and certified fitness pro, offered encouragement amid shouts of “Venga, venga!” (loosely translated as “Faster,

Opposite, clockwise from top left: an ocean-facing cabana at the JW Marriott, the perfect place to relax, retreat from the sun and enjoy complimentary fruit and water throughout the day; an exhilarating speedboat ride through the mangrove channels along the Nichupte Lagoon; a tranquil pool at the luxurious Mayan-inspired spa; tequila tasting (with a sangrita chaser) at the lobby bar; a steaming plate of linguine and shrimp at Gustino.

faster!”) Afterward, we sipped recovery smoothies at the health bar. The barista recommended the Green Juice, made from celery, spinach, orange, cucumber and pineapple. The drink was delicious— refreshing and not too sweet.

Feeling proud of myself, I reasoned that I’d earned a retreat to the poolside, oceanfront Bali-style cabana. There you can read, daydream or just indulge in people-watching. For lunch, healthy options abound at BeachWalk, a bathing suit-friendly eatery, with choices such as Thai shrimp spring rolls, Mexican ceviche, crab cakes and my favorite, a blackened grouper sandwich served with grilled onions and mustard seed roulade sauce.

Next, for more relaxation, a spa appointment. Every spa on earth promises to help you “relax, refresh, restore and renew.” This one delivers. After the 75-minute Stress Victims Spa Cure, you’ll feel all those “re”s and more. The tension melts away as your back, neck and shoulders are kneaded and massaged for the first 25 minutes. (Ask for Yesica; she has the hands of a goddess.) Once you’re thoroughly relaxed, next up is a 50-minute facial, including a lovely hydrating mist.

When I was well rested, it was time for a night on the town. The restaurant Porfirio’s reimagines the best of traditional Mexican fare in a beautiful setting. (Sit outside if you go around sunset.) Prepare for a multi-sensory experience: The food and service are great. Music videos play in the background, making it feel a little Las Vegasesque—but that adds to the fun. Later, a live band roams through the space, serenading patrons with classic Mexican tunes.

Want another way to up the fun quotient? Head to Champions Sports Bar. A favorite of locals, tourists and hotel staff, it offers karaoke nightly. It’s located at the CasaMagna Cancun next door to JW Marriott. (Stay at either hotel and enjoy the amenities of its sister property.)

Of course, no wellness weekend would be complete without yoga, which is great for flexibility, stress relief and a host of other health benefits. (Studies show it reduces the risk of heart disease, decreases blood pressure and lowers low-density, or “bad,” cholesterol by more than 10 points.) In a group class geared toward all experience levels, the emphasis was on breathing, balance and being comfortable with your body now. Yoga isn’t your thing? There are daily stretching and spinning classes too.

If you can tear yourself away from the gym and the beach, consider the Aquafun Marina Jungle tour, during which you’ll power through the waters of the Nichupte Lagoon in a twoseat speedboat. After an exhilarating ride with a constant cool spray offering a respite from the sun, you can dive into the turquoise water and do some snorkeling.

Back by late afternoon, it’s time for drinks. For a refined alternative to the sugary margarita, try tequila tasting at the lobby bar. Locals enjoy tequila with sangrita, a spicy nonalcoholic beverage meant to cleanse the palate between shots, and JW’s mixology team will explain the differences among these low-calorie sips. For dinner, try Gustino, where lowcarb linguine with shrimp, grilled veggies and poached salmon are popular, waistline-friendly options. The Branzino al cartoccio con finocchio e sedano, Chilean sea bass with lemons, fennel and leeks, is a delicious—and healthy—choice.

Turns out Cancun wasn’t such an unlikely spot for a wellness retreat. After all, true wellness means finding balance, not just physically, but socially, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. And a beautiful beach doesn’t hurt one bit.

Power food

a salute to spinach Popeye had it right when it came to this power-packed vegetable.

W hile this le a f y gr een m ay str ik e us as quintessenti a lly a mer ica n— thanks largely to a certain cartoon sailor—its origins actually go back to ancient Persia, and then to China in the 7th century. Even Italy plays a part in its story. You’ve heard the term “Florentine” used to describe a dish with spinach in it? Florence, Italy, was the birthplace of Catherine de’ Medici in the 16th century, and she favored this vibrant veggie. But the real story of spinach is its nutritional value—it’s packed with iron, carotenoids and lots more.

Power UP Spinach’s dark color indicates high levels of chlorophyll and health-promoting carotenoids­—phytochemicals that have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancerous properties. Well known for being rich in iron, spinach is also an excellent source of vitamins A, C, K and folic acid, and a pretty good source of manganese, magnesium and vitamin B2 too. Spinach is available year-round, but it’s in season in springtime, from March through June.

Did You Know?

In the 1930s, U.S. spinach growers credited Popeye’s popularity with prompting a 33 percent increase in domestic spinach consumption—just in time to help meet nutritional needs during the Great Depression.

Today, Alma, Arkansas, which holds a spinach festival each April, proclaims itself the “spinach capital of the world.” Indeed, the U.S. is the world’s No. 2 spinach producer. But the top nation, China, grows 45 times as much!

Select spinach with leaves that are medium to dark green, fresh-looking and free from any browning. The vegetable should be stored loosely packed in a sealed plastic bag in the fridge, where it will keep for about four days.

Don’t wash spinach before storing, as moisture will cause it to spoil. But do make sure it’s washed properly before serving, as the leaves and stems can collect soil and chemicals.

Raw spinach has a mild taste; when cooked it’s sometimes described as metallic-tasting and can be bitter thanks to its oxalic acid content. (To minimize bitterness, avoid the largest leaves and go for baby spinach instead.) If you’re cooking spinach, opt for steaming, sautéeing or microwaving rather than boiling to preserve the nutrients. —MICHAEL Ardizzone
