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!
