Winter activities offered at Hildene In the town of Manchester, Vermont, stands a Georgian Revival estate that served as a summer home to the Lincoln family until 1975. Robert Todd Lincoln, son of 16th president Abraham Lincoln, and his wife Mary Harlan Lincoln, had the estate built in 1905 after purchasing 392 acres. The building has been restored to its original condition and is being maintained by the non-profit Friends of Hildene. This holiday season, the estate has been decked out in holiday splendor. Christmas crackers line the table, set for dinner. Vintage ornaments cover the freshly cut tree. And while the estate’s “Our

House for the Holidays” event has passed for this year, it’s not too late to get in on the festivities. On weekends throughout the rest of the month, local musicians will be invited in to entertain guests to the mansion. The various selections are played on the Lincoln’s Aeolian organ, installed to the tune of $11,500 at the time, and on the Steinway piano. More information on these events can be found on the website for the estate. In addition to the holiday festivities, during the winter Hildene’s vast walking trails become cross country skiing and snowshoeing trails for

the public to use while the estate is open. And while there hasn’t been enough snow on the grounds to offer this service yet, the walking trails are still open for usage. Skiing is free for Hildene members. For those without a membership, admission is $23 for adults and $6 for children. Skis, snowshoes, and slipon grippers are available for rental as well. Hildene’s hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. The estate will be closed on Dec. 24, 25, and 26 for the upcoming Christmas holiday. Hildene is located at 1005 Hildene Rd. in Manchester, Vt. For more information, contact the estate at 802 3621788.

Learn how president Alexander Hamilton inspired a Broadway musical.

Hit Hamilton musical topic of discussion Presidential biographer Willard Sterne Randall will discuss how the life of Alexander Hamilton inspired a major Broadway musical in a talk at Rutland Free Library on Jan. 2 at 7 p.m. His talk, “Hamilton: The Man and the Musical,” is part of the Vermont Humanities Council’s First Wednesdays lecture series and is free and open to the public.

Creches from around the world on display A beautiful and diverse selection of creches from around the world are on display to the public at St. James’ Episcopal Church in Arlington, Vt. through Jan. 6. Collected by parishioner and world traveler Roger Cooper, “Los Nacimientos” is a collection of Nativity scenes reflecting the art and culture of the many places he lived during his career as an international banker. Among the countries represented are Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Peru, Ecuador, Canada both Inuit and Anglo - as well as Europe, China, the United States and even the Vatican. The Spanish word “nacimiento” means “the birth place,” or a nativity scene. In Mexico, where Cooper was born, the nacimiento takes precedence over the Christmas tree as the focal point of the home during the Christmas season. Although depictions of the Nativity were known from the earliest Christian times, it wasn’t until 1223, when St. Francis of Assisi organized a Nativity using live animals in Greccio, Italy, that the appreciation of this special holy scene took root and grew. From Italy, the custom of making Nativity tableaux spread to France and Spain, then to other parts of the world, following the spread of Christianity via exploration and colonization. The nacimiento arrived in the New World with the friars and conquistadors in the 16th century. The scenes on display at St. James’ are created using materials and techniques native to the particular cultures that created them, including papier mache, ceramics, wood, minerals such as Vermont marble,

HealthyLiving Week of December 24, 2018

Improve Life Expectancy with some healthy habits "Who Wants to Live Forever" is a song that appeared on the 1986 album "A Kind of Magic" by the rock band Queen. The song often sparks conversation about the potential benefits of immortality . Immortality may not be possible, but many people aspire to improve their chances to live a long and prosperous life. A study published in the journal Lancet analyzed data from the 2016 Global Burden of Diseases project to generate life expectancy predictions from 2017 to 2040 for most countries. The United States saw the largest decline in ranking among high-income countries, as life expectancies in the United States are projected to fall from 43rd in 2016 to 64th by 2040, with an average life expectancy of 79.8. Life expectancy in the U.S. has dropped in each of the past two years, according to annual reports by the National Center for Health Statistics. But there may be hope for Americans yet. Doctors and scientists continually study the lifestyles of people who outlive their life expectancies. While genetics can play a role, so can following healthy habits, which have been identified to promote longevity.

Exercise is an essential part of improving one's life expectancy.

n Don't smoke. Many smokers have been told that smoking trims 10 years off their life expectancies, and that statement is corroborated by a study published in 2013 in The New England Journal of Medicine that tracked participants over a span of several years. The good news is people who quit before the age of 35 can usually regain those lost years.

n Avoid drug use. Accidental drug overdoses contributed to 63,600 deaths in the United States in 2016, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Usage of prescription opioids and heroin has skyrocketed in recent years. Drug use also may exacerbate mental illnesses, potentially making drug users more vulnerable to suicide. n Maintain healthy body mass. Moderate to vigorous exercise regimens and diets loaded with healthy foods can keep weight in check. Maintaining a healthy weight has a host of positive side effects, including reduced risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is a leading killer in North America. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, nearly four in 10 adults and 18.5 percent of children in the United States are obese. According to the 2015 Canadian Health Measures Survey, 30 percent of adults in Canada are obese and may require medical support to manage their disease. n Limit alcohol consumption. Some evidence suggests that light drinking can be good for cardiovascular health. However, a paper published in the Lancet suggests every glass of wine or pint of beer over the daily recommended limit will cut half an hour from the expected lifespan of a 40-year-old. The paper says the risks are comparable to smoking. Simple, healthy lifestyle changes can help people increase their life expectancies.

Flu-fighting tips to keep you - and others - healthy Sniffles, sore throat, fever, and aches and pains may accompany a number of illnesses, but during the wintertime such symptoms are typically indicative of influenza. Throughout much of North America, flu season peaks between December and February. But flu season can occur anywhere from October to March, advises the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The flu is contagious and can sideline people for extended periods of time. The CDC says that each year one in five Americans gets the flu. Taking steps to fend off the flu can help men and women and the people they routinely come in contact with.

Foods Food can be used to fend of the flu. Common foods that many people already have in their pantries can be powerful flufighters. Garlic, for example, contains compounds that have direct antiviral effects and may help destroy the flu before it affects the body. Raw garlic is best. In addition to garlic, citrus fruits, ginger, yogurt, and dark leafy greens can boost immunity and fight the flu, according to Mother Nature's Network. The

alleviate symptoms of the flu, but cannot fend it off.

Stop germ proliferation

Annual flu shots are recommended. British Journal of Nutrition notes that dark chocolate supports T-helper cells, which increase the immune system's ability to defend against infection. A study published in the American Journal of Therapeutics showed that carnosine, a compound found in chicken soup, can help strengthen the body's immune system and help fight off the flu in its early stages.

Flu shot and medications Annual flu shots administered in advance of flu season can help protect people and their families from getting the flu. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says that, in select situations, antiviral medications - which are usually prescribed to treat the flu and lessen symptoms - can reduce the chance of illness in people exposed to influenza. Many over-the-counter medicines can

Germs can be spread easily between persons through direct contact and indirect contact with surfaces sick individuals have touched. Doctors recommend staying home for at least 24 hours after a flu-induced fever has dissipated. Well individuals should avoid contact with sick people. Frequent hand-washing with soap and water can stop germs from spreading. When soap and water is not available, alcohol-based hand sanitizers can help. People also should avoid touching their eyes, noses and mouths after being in public places or around someone who is ill.

Rest and restore Those who feel symptoms coming on should begin drinking more liquids to keep the respiratory system hydrated and make mucus less viscous. Remember to get adequate sleep, as a tired body cannot effectively fight the flu virus. People of all ages should take steps to protect themselves from the flu.

How to cut back on sugar in your diet Many people have a love-hate relationship with sugar. They may love how it tastes, but they also may hate the effects sugar can have on their bodies. As a result, many men and women would love to reduce their sugar consumption. The American Heart Association reports that the average adult in the United States consumes 22 teaspoons of added sugar every day, which equals 150 pounds per year. Teenagers consume even more, averaging 34 teaspoons every day. According to Statistics Canada, Canadians consume an average of 110 grams, or 26 teaspoons, of sugar

daily. These numbers are more than twice the amount of sugar a person should be eating. Healthy fruits, vegetables and some dairy products each contain sugar. But refined sugar is what can compromise a person’s health. When more than 10 percent of a person’s total calories come from added or refined sugar, this can prove harmful to both the mind and body. When a person consumes more sugar than he or she needs, the excess may be stored in the body as triglycerides, a type of blood fat. Both high triglycerides and low HDL levels contribute to

Stop colds before they start The stuffy nose, aches and pains that often accompany the common cold can leave sufferers feeling miserable for a week or more. Cold season seems to kick into high gear when the temperatures drop, but this can be the year you don’t come down with a case of the sniffles. The following cold prevention tips can increase your chances of making it to spring without losing any days or sleep to the common cold. n Keep kids clean. School-aged kids tend to carry home lots of germs, so when kids get home after a long day at school, make sure they wash their hands thoroughly and change into fresh outfits. Such precautionary measures can keep colds and other illnesses from running rampant through your house.

n Go outdoors and get some fresh air. It’s a myth that cold air will bring on a cold. In reality, being outside instead of congregating indoors with other sick people may decrease your risk of getting a cold. Don’t be afraid to go outside when the temperatures drop for fear of getting sick. Fresh air and exercise can be good for you. n Drink plenty of fluids. Keeping your body hydrated will help flush toxins out of your body, strengthening your immune system and making it more capable of fending off colds. n Keep your distance. Did you know the cold virus can be shot up to three feet away when someone sneezes? The virus travels on the small droplets of saliva and mucus that get propelled from the nose and mouth of a sick individual. If you know someone is sick,

Colds normally last between seven and 10 days. If your symptoms do not improve or if they seem to be worsening, visit your doctor.

As a result, it’s important that men, women and children take every step possible to ward off sickness when the temperatures drop. Dietary changes can make a world of difference, and more and more people are including these proven superfoods in their winter diets.

The starches in this squash also have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties. n Chestnuts: Chestnuts are worthy of inclusion in anyone’s diet. Unlike many nuts, chestnuts are relatively low in fat but have high levels of protein. They’re also packed with vitamin C and B vitamins.
