LIVING THE WELLNESS LIFESTYLE

Rough Hollow Lakeway and Tuscan Village Horseshoe Bay make healthy living as easy as stepping outside your home

Just outside of Austin are two resort-style communities, Rough Hollow Lakeway and Tuscan Village Horseshoe Bay, which are dedicated to providing their residents fulfilling and active lifestyles. Both communities enable this lifestyle by their masterfully planned amenities, as well as providing a socially rich environment for all ages.

Rough Hollow Lakeway provides direct access to beautiful Lake Travis and the Hill Country. Living in Rough Hollow is “more than a lifestyle, it’s a way of life.” The heart of this community, Highland Village, is the community center that provides yearround activities and fun for residents and guests. The community center is waterthemed with a children’s pool, splash pad, a lazy river and an adult pool with a swim-up bar. Highland Village also provides world-class facilities that contribute to an active lifestyle including tennis, basketball and pickleball courts, a soccer field, sand volleyball, and a playscape for children. These amenities allow Rough Hollow residents to participate in physical activities, without leaving the comfort of their neighborhood. Having an active social sphere is key to living an active life and Rough Hollow also enables this by having an event pavilion with a demonstration kitchen that residents can rent out to host events. They even have “The Rough Life Director,” whose job is to hold community events for residents to enjoy like yoga in the pavilion, festive holiday celebrations, and resident appreciation events.

Another aspect of an active lifestyle that Rough Hollow provides is unparalleled access to the Hill Country and Lake Travis. There are over 22 miles of hiking and bike trails with spectacular scenic views. Even better, Rough Hollow has three miles of Lake Travis shoreline with access to the Rough Hollow Yacht Club & Marina. Here, residents are provided complimentary paddle boards and kayaks for lake fun. The Yacht Club also features world-class cuisine and residents get a 10% discount. From the world class amenities, stunning Hill Country views and socially active events, Rough Hollow is perfectly designed to promote the active and healthy lifestyle that people today seek.

Another great lifestyle community, Tuscan Village, is located in the prestigious Horseshoe Bay Resort Community. This peaceful oasis is expertly designed for residents aged 55+ to escape the hectic city life. Tuscan Village welcomes residents into “The Good Life,” which consists of rolling hills with beautiful views, active lifestyles, and a plentiful social life. Like Rough Hollow, Tuscan Village offers a resort-style community with world class amenities meant to promote a wellness-oriented lifestyle.

Club Salus is the epicenter of the community, a private resident’s club. Club Salus offers two popular pickleball courts, an outdoor lap pool, a fully equipped fitness center and a dedicated yoga studio with a trained yoga instructor for private classes. Like Rough Hollow, Tuscan Village believes that part of living an active lifestyle is having access to fresh air and nature and provides walkable nature trails throughout the neighborhood for residents to explore. There is also covered outdoor seating and a grill at Club Salus that residents can enjoy. Tuscan Village also encourages residents to have a fulfilling social life by hosting many different events and has begun an expansion of the facilities including a community great room as well as a multipurpose event space that residents are able to rent out to host their own events and clubs.

Beets were used by the ancient Romans as an aphrodisiac. In fact, the nitrates in beets increase blood flow, and they contain high amounts of boron, which aids in the production of human sex hormones.

Sliced pickled beets are often served on burgers in Australia.

The world’s largest beet was grown in 2005 in the Netherlands. It weighed nearly 157 pounds.

Beet juice can be used to determine the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The juice turns pink in an acid solution, and yellow in an alkaline solution.

Bumper beet crop? Make beet chips! Thinly slice beets using a mandoline. Toss with olive oil, place on a non-stick baking sheet, and put in the oven immediately. Bake at 300ºF for about 20 minutes, then reduce to 225ºF and bake for about an hour. Remove from the oven just as they begin to brown to avoid overcooking. Toss with sea salt and serve.

Beets are said to have grown in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon

Tractor tires are often filled with liquid to increase traction and allow them to pull heavier loads. Beet juice is commonly used, as it weighs about 30% more than water, and resists freezing to about -37ºC.

Beet juice is also added to rock salt for de-icing roads—it can melt to lower temperatures, and its stickiness helps keep the salt on the road.
