Foods to eat (and to avoid) for your healthiest feet Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan March is National Nutrition Month — a great time to eat foods that support foot health. When it comes to PODIATRY diet, some choices will reduce your risk for foot pain and injury. Foods that support foot health • Vitamin D and calcium: Foods with calcium support bone health and growth while you’re young. Then, as you age,

calcium-rich food can prevent osteoporosis and lower the risk for injuries like hairline foot fractures. Choose dairy products like cheese or milk, leafy greens such as spinach or broccoli or even sardines. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. For vitamin D, it’s probably best to add a daily supplement because it’s hard to meet the minimum daily requirements. • Vitamin C: Many foot problems, including tendinitis and plantar fasciitis, develop

because of inflammation. Vitamin C can help fight that inflammation. Foods rich in this helpful vitamin include oranges, kiwis, strawberries, tomatoes and kale. • Vitamin B: Neuropathy takes a toll on foot health. Neuropathy can be prevented by supporting good nerve health with vitamin B, including foods like tuna, cottage cheese, salmon, eggs and sardines. Foods that hurt your feet Steer clear of foods that cause inflammation, including red meats, trans fat-filled

ingredients such as shortening or foods full of refined sugars. Purine-rich foods such as organ meat should also be avoided since these can trigger gout attacks.

‘Everything is easier,’ says woman after weight-loss surgery at Ascension St. Vincent Megan Fitzjarrald has struggled with her weight for most of her life. “As far back as I can remember, I was always the chubby kid,” she said. “I’ve always had a love for food and as I got older, it just became more and more of an issue.” Megan had gastric bypass surgery when she was 28 years old and speaks highly of the care she received at the Ascension St. Vincent Bariatric Center. “The hospital had a whole unit dedicated to bariatric surgery,” she said. “I was with other bariatric patients and felt like the nurses had a better understanding of what we had been through.” The Ascension St. Vincent Bariatric Center is the most experienced bariatric program in Indiana, offering both surgical and nonsurgical weight-loss options.

Modern statues in Old Havana Commentary by Don Knebel Statues recently placed on two historic Old Havana squares reflect a modern attitude in a TRAVEL nation not known for its openness. The Plaza de San Francisco was built in the 16th century just west of the Port of Havana. Named after a Franciscan convent on the site, the square originally housed a market and later became notorious for its gambling activities, including cockfights. Today, Havana’s cruise ship terminal lies at the eastern edge of the square. As more visitors began arriving in the area, the government undertook efforts to give the square a less austere look. On May 25, 2012, the city dedicated a statue titled “La Conversacion,” or “The Conversation,” created by a French sculptor and donated to Cuba by the French ambassador. The elegant bronze sculpture, atop a marble plinth, portrays two people engaged in conversation, with large portions of their bodies missing. The artist’s apparent intent was to illustrate the frequent need for people who talk with each other to fill in the blanks in their expressed words. Less clear is the meaning of another bronze sculpture, erected

in 2012 in Plaza Vieja, a square just south of Plaza de San Francisco that became the site of the harbor market when the Franciscan monks objected to the noise of the market on their square. The sculpture, called “Viaje Fantástico” (Fantastic Voyage), depicts a voluptuous bald woman, nude but for her spike heels, sitting astride a rooster and resting an enormous metal fork on her right shoulder. The sculptor, a Cuban artist, has never revealed the meaning of his work. However, some Old Havana guides speculate

that the evocative statue pays homage to the prostitutes who have long worked in the area, relying on their bodies for their next meal. So popular is this interpretation that the sculpture is often called the “Prostitution Statue.”

The closest thing to an *NSYNC lyric you’re going to get today is in this article. It might sound crazy, but it isn’t a lie; today we’re reviewing the words “buy,” “bye” and “by.” As much as I wanted to quote the choGRAMMAR GUY rus of *NSYNC’s turn-of-the-millennium chart-topper “Bye Bye Bye” word-for-word, I have some serious grammatical grumbles with the song’s subpar syntax. The words “buy,” “bye” and “by” are easy to switch around, especially because they only require a few letters and they’re pronounced identically. It’s kind of like trying to distinguish the boy bands from the late ’90s and early aughts from each other — they all sound the same. The primary definition of the word “buy” is to purchase something with money: Pat, I’d like to buy a vowel. If something is considered a bargain, someone might say it’s a “good buy.” The word “bye” has its own set of definitions. The primary definition of “bye” comes from the word “goodbye,” which is a compound word combining the words “good” and “bye.” The word “goodbye” originated as the contraction “Godbwye,” which was a shortened form of “God be with ye.” “By” may be the most versatile of this word trio. As a preposition, “by” means “near,” “toward,” “no later than” or to indicate the person who created a work, just to name a few. As an adverb, “by” can mean “past,” “near” or “aside.”

Remove deodorant marks — You’re getting dressed for work in a hurry and notice you’ve got those ugly white deodorant marks on your shirt from pulling it over your head.
