TRIHEALTH KENWOOD BECOMES THE TRISTATE’S DESTINATION FOR

the kids, swimming pools and barbecues. As we enjoy these fun seasonal activities it’s important to keep in mind that healthcare has seasons too, especially for women.

As summer arrives here in Ohio, we’re focusing more than ever on our commitment to caring for our patients throughout their lives. This continuum of care is important for women because they have unique and evolving healthcare needs throughout the various seasons of their lives.

Here at TriHealth, we studied two of those life seasons in 2014— childbearing and aging—and we found that women shift their caring focus from their children to themselves around the age of 40. We also found that women are increasingly looking for an approach to healthcare that feels personalized and treats them as a whole person, not just a list of medical histories. Finally, we realized that women want to feel good about their whole healthcare experience, not just the outcome of the care.

Armed with all this valuable information, the TriHealth team set out to design a healthcare experience for women who are past childbearing years that would be memorable, meaningful and one that women actually look forward to each time they visit. We wanted women to feel cared for on a level deeper than simple medical concerns; we wanted them to feel pampered too. Ultimately, we designed a destination healthcare facility for women conveniently located to most Cincinnati neighborhoods.

The approach to women’s care offered at the newly opened TriHealth Women’s Center Kenwood is special. Warm and inviting, it is a fully integrated facility where patients can access all the physicians, specialists and services they might need—in one location. In fact, it’s the first facility of its kind in the Cincinnati area to bring together all the wellness and medical services for women, along with complimentary valet parking, a coffee bar in the lobby and a convenient location within minutes of shopping, dining, hotels and entertainment.

As women pass through the different stages of life, they require compassionate, personalized care that focuses on changing needs and the special concerns that women face as they age. But they also need healthcare that fits into their lifestyle. I’m personally very proud of the innovative approach to care our team has created. And we look forward to serving the women of the tristate area in a whole new way—the TriHealth way.

Sincerely,

Neonatal Intensive Care Breast Care Fertility Nurse Midwives

physicians will continually work with you to help you live a healthy life.

DO YOU LIVE A HEALTHY life? Most of us try, but we’re not perfect. We exercise, but maybe not enough. We eat sensibly when we can, but we do have lapses. That’s why Cincinnati Health & Life emphasizes not some unattainable ideal, but the realistic choices you can make daily to help you and your family feel your best and get the most out of life.

On page 32, for example, we present a different take on healthy eating—using varied colors as your guide.

Balancing different hues can help you balance nutritional benefits too. We highlight watermelon on page 48—turns out it’s not just a summertime treat, but also a good source of vitamin C. There’s health news you can use on page 14. (Did you know that the only way to get a truly accurate blood pressure reading is to cuff both arms?)

That’s not all. On page 26, learn how floral arrangements can brighten a room’s design and give it distinction. And on page 46, take an armchair tour of Toronto—it’s just an hour or so away by air, and it’s hipper than you think.

Why such variety? We think of health not just as the absence of illness, but in the broadest sense—as the basis for good times. It’s our mission—and our pleasure—to work with the people at TriHealth to help you make smart choices in every area that will enrich your life. And now that warm, sunny weather has returned to southern Ohio, life is rich indeed.

We hope you enjoy this issue. Here’s to your good health!

TRENDS

DAY OF THE DADS Father’s Day is just around the corner, and no time is better than the present to plan the perfect way to celebrate. Here are four ways to honor Pop on or around June 19: Play a game of catch. Take the traditional father-son (or -daughter) pastime to the big league by coming out to the Cincinnati Reds’ Family Catch night on June 12. Root for the home team at the 1:10 p.m. game against the Oakland Athletics, then stay to toss a few authentic balls used by the players for batting practice on the field of Great American Ball Park. A package for two is $150, including game tickets. Learn more at cincinnati.reds.mlb.com or by calling Sara Ingram at 513.765.7240.

Pig out. Get your fill of bacon, burgers and brews at Coney Island’s CinciDaddy Celebration on June 19, which will feature meat-centric food trucks, live music and even a bacon-flavored cocktail. If this all sounds a little too indulgent, arrive early for the Rusty Races, sponsored by TriHealth, which include a kids’ fun run (10:30 a.m.) and a 5K (11 a.m.). Get more details at coneyislandpark.com.

Go cruisin’. If Dad is more of a laid-back dude, instead consider a leisurely brunch or dinner cruise with BB Riverboats.

Enjoy the warm summer breeze while gazing at the scenic views of the city on this two-hour tour that includes a meal and a souvenir photo.

A cash bar is available for those who want to raise a toast. Tickets are $45 for adults, $24 for children.

Go to bbriverboats.com for more information.

Conquer the great outdoors.

For the more wilderness-inclined, the Cincinnati Nature Center will host a hike June 19 through a stream at Long Branch Farm & Trails in Goshen. Wade through knee-to waist-deep water while a guide helps you search for mussels, crayfish and snakes, and look for signs of wildlife. Admission is $10 for nonmembers and $3 for members. Registration is required—sign up at cincynature.org.

STRIKE A CHORD

Bowling and rock-and-rolling will come together this summer when the newest Howl at the Moon location opens at The Banks. In addition to the high-energy nightclub, which features dueling pianos, the 16,000-square-foot venue will include a bowling alley by Splitsville Luxury Lanes. The new location will be in the former Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar space and can accommodate up to 800 people.

Cincy lifers might find the name familiar: More than two decades ago, entrepreneur Jimmy Bernstein opened the first location of the now-national Howl at the Moon chain of nightclubs in the Queen City. The look may change from place to place in the dozen-plus locations in cities across the country, but the vibe remains the same—the company prides itself on its performers’ spontaneity and energy. “Every night is a brand-new show; our entertainers never follow a set list,” Bernstein has said. Live entertainment includes tunes from the ’80s to current hits.

Splitsville’s lanes, which are themed with retro décor, are designed so that players can eat, drink and mingle while bowling. Menu items will include handtossed pizzas, burgers and gourmet appetizers. “You’ll come for the bowling, but you’ll come back for the food and live entertainment,” Splitsville partner Mark Gibson has said. The two businesses paired up once before for a location in Massachusetts, which opened in 2014.

BEACH READ

Imagine this: Jane Austen is living in the 21st century here in Cincinnati—just another neighbor you might bump into at Fountain Square, that is, when she’s not at home composing one of her great literary works.

Now think about how the stories she tells might be a bit different.

Curtis Sittenfeld, an author and Cincy native, got the opportunity to do just that for her latest novel, Eligible (Random House), which was published in April.

Sittenfeld was contacted by editors of The Austen Project, whose series pairs “authors of global significance with Jane Austen’s six complete works.” They offered Sittenfeld, a New York Times best-selling author, the chance to reimagine Pride & Prejudice. She saw it as an exciting opportunity to both modernize the book and pay homage to her hometown.

Set in Hyde Park, Cincinnati, the novel follows two sisters, Liz and Jane, a magazine writer and yoga teacher, respectively, as they return home from New York City to care for their ill father. There, they find their Tudor-style home in shambles and their younger sisters living in chaos. But they also manage to catch the attention of the star of a bachelor reality show called Eligible and his prickly neurosurgeon friend, Mr. Darcy.

Sittenfeld said in an interview that she sees similarities between Cincinnati and the 19th-century English village Austen’s novel was set in, specifically that they are both unexpectedly interesting in ways an outsider might not recognize. She also gives shoutouts to many local businesses. (You’ll have to read the book to find out which ones.)

The plot is playful and light but still addresses the core themes of Austen’s original: gender, class, courtship and family.

SUMMER SIPS

Tony’s of Cincinnati may be innovative in terms of culinary creations, but when it comes to cocktails, classic rules. Paul Wright, who was hired in 2015 to update the popular restaurant’s bar menu, chose to steer away from complicated seasonal concoctions and instead focus on tried-and-true cocktails with the highest-quality ingredients possible.

“These recipes have stood the test of time, so why mess with them?” Wright says.

Take, for instance, the Royal Ginger. Wright and his team will start making this drink 21 days before you order it—that’s when the homemade ginger beer (made with juiced ginger, yeast, water, maple syrup and honey) starts fermenting. Three weeks later, it’s ready to be mixed with bourbon, elderflower liquor, fresh lemon juice and a large ice cube frozen with strawberry. The result is a stunningly colorful libation that’s refreshing and light on a hot summer day.

Tip: Tony’s presents a jazz trio on Friday and Saturday nights from 8 to 11:30 p.m. The stage is close to both the dining room and the bar, so you can enjoy the entertainment while sipping one of Wright’s creations with friends or enjoying the fine dining and comfortable neighborhood vibe that have put this restaurant on the map.

DID YOU KNOW? While you’re gathering at King’s Island, Summit Park or another local spot to catch an amazing fireworks display this Independence Day, try to wrap your head around how long Americans have been taking part in this type of celebration. The answer is: since our very first anniversary.

In 1777, one year after the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, a huge celebration was held in Philadelphia that included a parade and, yup, you guessed it, a fireworks show. (Source: Smithsonian)

DRINK YOUR VEGGIES

Mom said to eat your broccoli, but a recent study shows drinking it can be just as good. A broccoli beverage can clear your system of benzene, a carcinogen found in cigarette smoke.

The phytochemical sulforaphane, found in the cruciferous veggie, promotes the production of detoxifying enzymes.

“WE TALK ABOUT THINGS LIKE BODY AWARENESS, NORMAL AND ABNORMAL PERIODS, ANATOMY AND HOW HER BODY WILL CHANGE IN THE TEEN YEARS.” —BETSY LEROY, M.D. THERE COMES A TIME IN EVERY YOUNG

girl’s life when healthcare extends to the private and personal concerns of reproductive health. Moms or other primary caregivers want to feel secure and comfortable with the gynecologist they choose for their daughter. TriHealth understands this, and its providers are teen friendly and encourage a healthy approach to reproductive care from puberty on.

One such provider is Betsy LeRoy, M.D., an ob/gyn who specializes in caring for teens and young women.

Dr. LeRoy has preteen daughters herself and has helped adolescent girls care for their sexual health for many years. She knows how to speak to teens in ways that build trust—and that’s the key to all good healthcare, she says. Indeed, she stresses that her profession’s approach today is much more nurturing than it was when she was a teenager.

“It used to be that when you went to a gynecologist, you had to strip, you got your exam, and it was a scary encounter for many young women,” Dr. LeRoy says.

“These days we back off that robotic approach. Everyone gets individualized care.

You don’t need a pelvic exam or Pap test until age 21, so most of these exams are just conversations. The goal is to establish trust between the teen and her doctor.”

This is critical moving forward, she adds. “With any health issue, establishing early positive interactions makes for a better doctor-patient relationship later on. I want this group to be intelligent and savvy.

In this age of the Internet and social media, they need someone to validate their concerns. I like being in that role, to help set up a positive relationship for the future.”

These sensitive conversations are best begun in the home. “They start, hopefully, with Mom, Grandma or a trusted aunt or sister,” she says. “But an ob/gyn can also offer guidance on what is normal and what is not, what needs to be addressed now and in future.” Dr. LeRoy says teens are very open to such guidance. “Young

when mom and baby bond this way in life’s earliest days, benefits can be lasting.

Kangaroo care Reconsider a newborn’s first minutes after birth:

Instead of being whisked away for a first bath, imagine the baby resting quietly on Mom’s chest. Instead of lying alone under a warmer down the hall, imagine mom providing warmth through skin-to-skin contact.

Now, can you imagine that this simple scene, repeated thousands of times daily across the globe, can reduce deaths of at-risk babies by one-third and cut the risk of serious infection by almost one-half? Those are the amazing benefits of what’s called “kangaroo care,” according to international research as well as a study published in the medical journal Pediatrics.

“Among the countless ways we seek out the very best care for mothers and babies, kangaroo care is certainly important,”

18

says John Samol, M.D., obstetrician/gynecologist and associate chairman, department of Ob/Gyn at Bethesda North Hospital.

“Recently, we’ve put forth much effort to encourage it for all our babies, with an official launch of the program at Bethesda North on May 16.”

The benefits of a kangaroo “pouch” Kangaroo care involves placing the baby on Mom’s chest, skinto-skin, beginning immediately at birth. A blanket goes on top to form a kangaroo-like pouch. Mom and child often rest this way for an hour or two. In addition to warmth, research shows that this closeness helps the baby achieve better breathing, better blood sugar levels and significantly less crying.

IGH.SU16.CIN.5.indd 18

6/1/16 10:15 AM

In addition, studies also show that newborns who received kangaroo care have higher oxygen levels and greater growth in head circumference. These benefits are especially important for premature and low birth-weight babies. Babies who receive kangaroo care are also more likely to breastfeed successfully, especially if they have this special time during their first hours in the world.

The connection to breastfeeding TriHealth’s emphasis on skin-to-skin contact is part of a national and statewide effort to encourage breastfeeding. “This is one of the main reasons we encourage kangaroo care,” Dr. Samol says.

The skin-to-skin contact alone increases the chances of a mother breastfeeding exclusively (instead of bottle feeding) by 50 percent, which provides important health benefits for the baby.

(See article below.) Resting skin-to-skin on the mother’s chest seems to stimulate the baby’s natural instincts to search out the breast. Some newborns even begin breastfeeding during the first hour after birth. With their training and experience in helping mother and baby with breastfeeding, TriHealth’s lactation consultants also provide support.

Kangaroo care has benefits for the mother, too. Babies who learn to latch well usually feed for shorter periods of time, which can prevent some of the soreness that breastfeeding mothers might have. And mothers who hold their babies skin-to-skin show more confidence in their ability to care for their newborn, research shows.

For special situations Excited about the benefits of kangaroo care, physicians and nurs-

ing staff at TriHealth hospitals have made simple but proactive changes to encourage it. Newborns still get Vitamin K shots to prevent bleeding disorders and eye drops to prevent blindness, for example. But this care can often wait for an hour or more after delivery.

For a mother who needs stitches after an episiotomy or if the baby is born by Cesarean section, staff can make simple adjustments for them to allow skin-to-skin contact at birth, in most cases.

Kangaroo care is also an option if a baby has an oxygen tube or similar treatment. Staff in Bethesda North’s Level II Harold and Margret Thomas Special Care Nursery encourage it. And even for the most seriously ill babies at Good Samaritan Hospital’s state-ofthe-art Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), staff can often help mother and baby enjoy the benefits of skin-to-skin contact.

Dads can be kangaroos, too Moms aren’t the only focus when it comes to kangaroo care.

“When making rounds, I’ve seen fathers resting quietly in the mother’s room, sitting in the recliner with their newborn on their chest, skin-to-skin,” Dr. Samol says. Also at home, in the days and weeks that follow, Dad and other adults can participate.

The biggest change to the routine that follows a baby’s birth is probably how the family shares news of the arrival. “We won’t be taking baby from Mom just to report the weight and height,” Dr. Samol says with a smile. Excited relatives will just have to wait a little while for those details, while the new baby receives the benefits of this simple, but powerful care.

Benefits of breastfeeding

Both obstetricians and pediatricians support breastfeeding because of the benefits it offers babies, says John Samol, M.D., an obstetrician/ gynecologist on staff at TriHealth.

Those benefits are in sync with TriHealth’s move toward “kangaroo care,” skin-to-skin contact that begins immediately after birth. (See main article.) Research suggests that breastfed babies have lower risks for: n Asthma n Childhood leukemia n Childhood obesity n Ear infections n Eczema, a skin condition n Diarrhea and vomiting n Respiratory infections n Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) n Type 2 diabetes At TriHealth hospital, staff and physicians offer a variety of services to help successfully breastfeed newborns.

Dr. John Samol believes in the many benefits of kangaroo care.

DR AGGING HERSELF OUT OF BED ONCE AG AIN, JOANIE

headed for the patio outside of her Highland Heights, Ky., home.

“It was the middle of winter, but I was burning up,” she recalls.

The intense heat wasn’t from fever, but from the drastic shift of hormones that can occur during menopause. In her 50s, she’d been dealing with night sweats, poor sleep, hot flashes and heavy periods for a year. “And my mood swings were vicious, for me and for those around me,” she says. “I wanted to get back to my normal self.”

Menopause is the stage of life when a woman’s period, or menstrual cycle, gradually stops. Symptoms like Joanie’s, plus flushing, vaginal dryness, pain during sex and irregular periods are common, and occur because the body starts producing less of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. One hidden and sometimes serious symptom is thinning of the bones, or osteoporosis.

By developing a partnership with an experienced gynecologist, women can often find relief from these symptoms, and sometimes avoid them entirely.

“Menopause is a natural part of aging, but when it comes to changes that affect your life, women should not accept too much too quick,” says Tari Anderson, M.D., a gynecologist with TriHealth Women’s Center Kenwood, which opened in the spring.

She is also certified as a menopause practitioner through the North American Menopause Society. “We have a lot of tools that can help today that we didn’t have years ago.”

When Joanie discussed her symptoms with her gynecologist, Joel D. Pranikoff, M.D., he offered her a simple prescription that gave dramatic results. It was for low-dose hormone replacement therapy, or HRT. “He told me that after taking it, I’ll never have another night sweat or another hot flash,” she says. “And that’s exactly what happened. It’s been great.”

“We understand now, however, that the risk is not the same for everyone, and different HRT options have different risks and benefits,” Dr. Pranikoff says. “Further, the real benefits of HRT— including better bone health—might outweigh those risks.”

Because of the potential benefits like this, the FDA now recommends HRT to reduce moderate to severe symptoms of menopause.

Earlier prevention Though menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, HRT and other treatments at a younger age might improve your quality of life at other stages—by helping retain bone strength, for example. But it can also offer relief short-term.

“For decades, I had regular migraines related to my menstrual cycle, and later, bleeding became very heavy and irregular,” Joanie says. In her 40s, Dr. Pranikoff prescribed a low-dose birth-control pill. “My periods became more regular, and the migraines lessened,” she says.

“All aspects of women’s health are interrelated, so it’s important to work with a gynecologist who understands all the issues,” Dr. Pranikoff says. “We can create a plan that’s best for the patient today as well as for the long term.”

ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS FOR MENOPAUSE

For women seeking relief from symptoms of menopause, hormone replacement therapy can be a good choice. (See main article.) But it’s not the only choice. Two options in the news are acupuncture and “bioidentical” hormones. Are they worth a try?

Acupuncture: “About a third of the women I see have some symptoms of menopause,” says Diane Kloecker, a licensed Oriental medicine practitioner who has a master’s of science degree in Chinese medicine. She provides this treatment at the new TriHealth Women’s Center Kenwood. “It seems to help most with hot flashes and quality of sleep, but it can help some women with a variety of other related issues.”

The research about the value of acupuncture is mixed, she says, but some studies confirm its effectiveness.

“Some of my patients report having success with it,” says Tari Anderson, M.D., a gynecologist at TriHealth Women’s Center Kenwood. “So I’m excited that TriHealth offers it.”

“Bioidentical” hormones: The FDA reports no evidence that these hormones are safer or more effective than other hormone products. If you use any such product, make sure it’s FDA approved. “And it’s best if you keep your physicians in the loop about everything you’re taking,” says Dr. Anderson.

CANCER FIGHTERS SPECIALISTS FROM MANY DISCIPLINES WORK TOGETHER TO FIND MALIGNANCIES AND TREAT THEM EFFECTIVELY.

WHEN IT COMES TO CANCER, FINDING

it and treating it are equally important. For two area residents, that combination of skills recently led to dramatic victories over the disease. For one, it began in the emergency room at Good Samaritan Hospital.

“I was green, actually green,” says Debra Hosten, 62, of Alexandria, Ky. Her skin was yellow-green with jaundice, caused by a liver malfunction. “The emergency room staff said they wouldn’t discharge me until they found out exactly what was going on. That was very comforting.”

Tests soon showed she had cancer of the pancreas. So experts with the TriHealth Cancer Institute immediately swung into action. Then they presented Hosten and her family with a plan.

“When someone is diagnosed with cancer, we want to get them answers as quickly as possible, to put them at ease,” says Erik Dunki-Jacobs, M.D., a surgical oncologist at the TriHealth Cancer Institute. “We also want to create the best treatment plan for them quickly, so we can start care right away.”

Planning for complex care Since cancer treatment can be complex, each patient’s team at TriHealth Cancer Institute automatically involves experts from a variety of areas. These include physicians who specialize in specific types of cancer, plus those with advanced training in cancer surgery, medical imaging (such as X-rays, CTs and MRIs), medical oncology (using chemotherapy and other therapy to target cancers) and radiation therapy. The team could expand in time to include a rehabilitation specialist, a plastic surgeon, a geneticist, a psychologist, a nutritionist and others.

This type of planning is called “multidisciplinary care,” because of the variety of specialists involved. “We believe that having all the specialists involved from the very

22

beginning is the best way to develop each treatment plan,” Dr. Dunki-Jacobs says. “And we have a lot of experience working this way.” For every patient, the team meets all together to review test results and discuss options. These face-to-face meetings make the exchange of complex information much more effective. It also allows each highly trained member to share relevant insights and experience about the latest advances in their field.

Not only does the patient get the benefit of this body of knowledge, but the team also works together to streamline any tests the patient might need. This helps ensure that different physicians don’t schedule the same tests.

At TriHealth Cancer Institute, multidisciplinary care also includes another step, one that focuses specifically on what the patient wants and needs to know.

“Each physician who will be part of the patient’s care meets one-on-one with the patient and family during a single day,” Dr. Dunki-Jacobs says. “This gives them a chance to ask questions and share their personal goals and other information important to them. Their input is also significant to how we plan for their care.” A patient navigator works closely with every patient, as well, to provide education, answer questions and connect them with the range of resources available to them.

Hosten learned at these meetings that her treatment was very complex, but that every specialist she needed was part of TriHealth.

“Each one explained things in a way I could understand, and that’s really important,” she says. “From the surgeon to the receptionist, everyone let me know they understood what I was going through.”

“Lucky” pneumonia For another woman, Lisa Nicholas, 51, of

Delhi Township, tests related to persistent pneumonia led physicians at Good Samaritan Hospital to find cancer in her liver. “I felt lucky they found it,” she says. “But they told me that cancer doesn’t start in the liver, so they’d have to piece this puzzle together.”

Bringing in a wide number of specialists, her multidisciplinary team found that the liver cancer had spread from cancer in the colon, and it was stage 4 out of 5. Nicholas’ treatment was also complex. Her team created a plan to first shrink the cancer using chemotherapy, then remove the liver and colon cancer during a single surgery. Chemotherapy followed. Today she’s cancer-free.

“From the first time my doctors spoke with me and my family, they’ve been absolutely wonderful,” she says. “During one visit, they even remembered to ask me specifically about my new grandchild.”

Looking ahead After Hosten’s pancreas surgery at Bethesda North Hospital, she also got good news: The cancer was gone. So today, her focus is back on everyday living and a big family vacation to the gulf shores of Alabama. “I’ve already invested in some hiking poles,” she says. “I’m ready to go!”

TriHealth is building up “survivorship” services for people like Hosten and Nicholas, to provide support and services to prevent cancer from recurring. This, in turn, helps patients and their healthcare team further develop strong relationships that improve care.

“From our specialists and services to the facilities we use, TriHealth has committed the resources to make this robust form of multidisciplinary care happen,” Dr. Dunki-Jacobs says. “It’s rewarding for our patients and for us as physicians. And today our services are comparable to those of an academic medical center.”

having trouble finding nutritional balance? Try adding more varied hues to your diet, and health benefits will naturally follow.

We all know we should be eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day. They’re loaded with compounds that reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and a host of other health problems. We’ve heard this message for years. Yet, let’s be honest, many of us still sometimes fall short of that goal—and of the other principles of healthy eating. It may be time for a bold move, time to change our way of thinking about food. So here’s a simple but powerful strategy—color! Keep the color spectrum in mind when wheeling your shopping cart through the produce aisle, and add some vibrant hues to your skillet, saucepan or salad bowl. Orange, yellow, red, green, blue—the more colorful your meals, the more health benefits you’ll reap. More fiber, more nutrients, more antioxidants—and more flavor too.

To help you get started on your culinary adventure, we’ve assembled a menu of healthful, colorful recipes—from appetizer to dessert. Try it...or use it as inspiration to find ways to add some color to your own recipes. Bon appetit!

“Late payments have the most serious and rapid impact on credit scores,” says Rod Griffin, director of public education for Experian. To make sure you don’t forget, set up payment reminders. Use your own scheduling system or request alerts through your credit card company, such as text messages and email reminders as due dates approach.

If you are late, fess up right away.

Resist the human tendency to put the embarrassing lapse in a “deal with it later” pile. Contact your credit card company immediately and explain. A grace period may apply, you may be able to pay instantly by phone, and a company rep may have the authority to make a favorable notation on your account. “Certainly ask that it not be reported to the credit bureaus and that you not be charged a late fee,” says Cunningham. “Credit card com-

panies want to keep you as a customer, especially if you’ve been a good one.”

Pay down balances, but keep cards. Tempted to close every account you can pay off? Think again.

While closing accounts is a good idea for people who’ve been in trouble with debt, the rest of us may wish to keep paid-up accounts open for a better “credit utilization rate”—that is, proportion of total unpaid balances to total available-credit limits. Lenders prefer this percentage to be no higher than 30; keep it lower if you can.

(For example, if you have two credit cards with limits of $10,000 each, try to make sure your balances total less than $6,000.)

Consider an installment loan. You can also improve your score by demonstrating that you’re able to manage different types of credit. Credit cards are considered “revolving credit,” meaning that the amount charged varies each month and the balance is for an openended period. It’s also good to show your mastery of “installment credit,” in which you make the same regular payment until a balance is paid off. Car loans, student loans, personal loans and home mortgages are examples of installment credit. —KRISTIN COLELLA

credit score lately? This numerical rating of your creditworthiness can determine whether or not you’ll be approved for a loan or mortgage and what interest rate you’ll pay—which means a good score can save you money. Some employers conduct credit checks to screen job applicants, and singles have even been known to discuss credit scores on a first date.

Many credit scoring models exist, but the most widely used is the FICO (Fair Isaac Corporation) score, which employs a scale from 300 to 850 points—the higher your number, the better. It’s based on information from the three credit reporting bureaus, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Scores can make a big difference, and generally speaking you want one in the 750-and-up zone. On a 36-month auto loan for $25,000, for example, someone with a strong FICO score of 760 might make a monthly payment of $730, while a next-door neighbor with a not-so-good 619 could fork over $875 a month for the same set of wheels.

(Find out more about FICO, including how to order your credit scores from the three bureaus for $19.95 each, at myfico.com.)

For the best possible credit score: Make sure your credit reports are accurate. Mistakes on these reports can pull down your score needlessly. “Everybody is always interested in their credit score, but they forget that the basis for it is the credit report,” says Gail Cunningham of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. The reports are intended to show whom you’ve borrowed from in the past and how you’ve repaid them. You’re entitled to receive a free credit report each year from each of the reporting bureaus.

On the reports themselves you’ll find instructions on how to dispute any errors.

Beware of charges or credit accounts that seem totally unfamiliar, as they could

TUHRRONO, EH? THAT’S WHAT LOCALS SAY ON HEARING THAT IN RECENT years their modest city, long known for cleanliness, tolerance and safety, has become a hip hotspot—stylish and cosmopolitan. (For those who don’t speak Canadian, that’s a colloquial rendition of the name of the city followed by the trademark interjection of the Great White North.) There’s no better place to witness that evolution than at the Ritz-Carlton, a hotel that’s a veritable poster child for genteel sophistication.

Mixing the brand’s famous service and style with native flourishes gives the R-C a unique appeal. Bronze maple leaves are embedded on the lobby floor, and more than 450 pieces by Canadian artists are displayed in guest rooms and public areas. Gorgeous, one-of-a-kind chandeliers by Jeff Goodman, a native son, cast a welcoming glow on the lobby area. Some 263 rooms feature a full-length wall of windows overlooking Lake Ontario or the city, tasteful décor (think subdued gold tones, grass-cloth wallpaper and comfy, contemporary furniture), plump bedding and pillows. Huge bathrooms with heated marble floors and a TV embedded in the mirror provide the perfect excuse for morning dawdling.

If you’re a club-level guest, one assigned to rooms on floors 18–20, you’ll check in privately at the lounge on the 20th floor, where you’ll be assigned a personal concierge. There too you’ll find complimentary food and drinks all through the day. We found ourselves stopping by several times during our visit for fresh fruit, just-baked goodies and Starbucks in the morning; cocktails and hors d’oeuvres before dinner; and dessert and a nightcap in the evening. The staff even saved the day by offering to stir up a Bloody Caesar—a Canadian concoction of vodka, Clamato juice, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce served with ice in a celery salt-rimmed glass—when I realized I’d forgotten to try one.

Make time for a meal at TOCA, where a staff trained by consulting chef Oliver Glowig (when in Rome, check out his eponymous Michelin two-star eatery) serves up Italian cuisine that combines foods from that nation with locally sourced ingredients. There’s a friendly ruckus at this restaurant weekend nights, but the acoustics let you take it all in good fun, and the semi-circular banquettes ensure privacy. (George Clooney and Brad Pitt were spotted here during the Toronto International Film Festival.) If you’re more of an exhibitionist, there’s a chef’s table in one of the kitchen’s nooks. And the glass-encased

cheese cave beckons diners to get a look at (and whiff of) a rotating selection of 200-plus cheeses from around the world (a Valencia goat cheese was scrumptious), though most of them are local. (Maple syrup-and-whisky-infused cheddar?

This is Canada, after all; and it’s good!)

You can’t leave the city without tasting Toronto’s signature dish: peameal bacon on a bun. Basically, it’s cured, trimmed, boneless pork loin rolled in ground yellow peas or cornmeal. Purists insist on eating it sans condiments, but others add mustard or ketchup for an extra zing.

Even if you don’t believe the early bird catches the worm, do get an early start exploring the city by heading to the St. Lawrence Market (you can get peameal bacon here), ranked the world’s best by National Geographic. Here you’ll score fresh fruits and meats and locally made handicrafts. Also worth seeing is Kensington Market, really a bustling, bohemian neighborhood with cool cafes and stands selling organic everything.

It’s Toronto’s tree-lined neighborhoods, a rich patchwork of diverse cultures that reflect the large immigrant population (it’s the second most immigrant-rich city in the world after Miami), that make the city feel like a string of villages, each with its own character. In addition to Chinese, Greeks, Italians and Portugese, there are large numbers of Indians, Pakistanis and West Indians adding to the melting pot.

Hit the heights by taking the iconic CN Tower’s glass-bottom elevator more than a thousand feet up. Then change elevators and zoom up another 465 feet for stunning views of Lake Ontario. On a clear day, you can see Rochester. Not quite so high up is the dramatically curving sculptural staircase that rises through a glass ceiling from the second floor to the fifth floor of the Art Gallery of Ontario, the brainchild of celebrity architect and Torontonian Frank Gehry. And the Distillery District, a well-preserved Victorian industrial site where half of Ontario’s spirits were produced in the 1870s, is now home to high-end boutiques, galleries and bistros plus beer and sake breweries.

All that exploring might make you yearn for some pampering. (It did me.) Ah, the spa at the Ritz-Carlton.

Called Spa My Blend by Clarins, it’s a restorative sanctuary that blends seamlessly with the happenings downtown courtesy of floor-to-ceiling windows offering cityscapes. The locker room features digital key codes (bye-bye, telephone-cord wristlets), and the “relaxation lounge,” where I waited for my therapist, boasts oversize chaises, a tea-bar full of exotic teas and a “tester” station of Clarins products. When the 90-minute Floating on a Cloud treatment started with a salt-and-sugar scrub for my tired tootsies, the perfectionist in me inwardly shouted hooray. Soon after, Salvatore, an architect-turnedmassage-therapist, gently but firmly untangled the knot in the left side of my cramped neck. The treatment was so relaxing, in fact, that I found myself drifting off to sleep.

Thankfully, I only dozed for a few minutes—I wanted to savor every moment of this pampering. And who says all spa products are alike? I swear my skin felt nourished for the next few days.

Come to think of it, the rest of me felt nourished too.

MIGHTY watermelon

THE

THIS JUICY GIANT CAN QUENCH YOUR THIRST, SATISFY YOUR SWEET TOOTH AND CONTRIBUTE TO A HEALTHY DIET TOO.

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW much of a watermelon is water? The delectable fruit’s name, it turns out, is no lie—it’s 92 percent. (By contrast, you’re only about 50 to 65 percent water.) But many of us find it 100 percent delicious. The summertime staple was first harvested nearly 5,000 years ago in Egypt. Today, luckily, you can find it in just about any food store.

supplies your body with 30 percent of your daily value of vitamin C and 25 percent of vitamin A. It also contains vitamin B6, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus.

Eating watermelon is a guilt-free way to satisfy your sweet tooth too. Its water content makes it quite filling, and it can boost your energy while reducing your risk of kidney problems and heart disease.

DID YOU KNOW? Watermelon is the most consumed melon in the country in terms of weight, and the U.S. ranks fifth among nations in watermelon

BUY/STORE/SERVE Pick a watermelon that feels solid and heavy for its size. It should have little or nothing in the way of bruising, cuts, dents or other imperfections. But that big yellow spot on the bottom is OK; it’s caused by the sun and shows that the fruit has ripened, or started to ripen.

Believe it or not, watermelons should be washed. The Food and Drug Administration recommends washing watermelon the way you do all fruits and vegetables—whether you plan on peeling it or using the rind. This is so that bacteria and dirt aren’t transferred when you cut it. Store watermelons at around 55° F. Whole melons can stay at room temperature for seven to 10 days, while cut watermelon can be refrigerated for three to four days.

Slice it, dice it, cube it, chunk it or even juice it! There are myriad options when it comes to serving watermelon. You can even freeze the juice into ice pops that the kids will love. No matter how you consume it, watermelon is sure to benefit your body and please your taste buds too.

Hydration is watermelon’s best nutritional asset, but the sweet-tasting fruit also provides a healthy dose of vitamins. A two-cup serving

production. (China’s the runaway champ, and among U.S. states Florida is the leader.)

The U.S. was also home to the heaviest watermelon ever, according to the website Guinness World Records. In 2013, Chris Kent of Sevierville, Tennessee, grew a colossal watermelon that weighed in at an incredible 350.5 pounds!
