That’s how many minutes per day consumers should listen to music to reap its full therapeutic benefits.

According to a new study from international streaming service Deezer and the British Academy of Sound Therapy, a balanced diet of music should include a mix of uplifting, relaxing and motivating songs. The top mood-boosting tunes included ABBA’s “Dancing Queen,” Ed Sheeran’s “Sing,” Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” and “Be Happy” by Mary J. Blige, among others. Need to overcome sadness? Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind” was the top choice.

Looking to relax?

Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement” will do the trick.

Drying Dilemma While washing your hands is one way to keep viruses at bay, you may want to rethink those high-speed public restroom hand dryers.

One study at the University of Westminster in London noted that high-speed jet air dryers dispersed 20 times more germs than warm air dryers and 190 times more than paper towels. “Wet hands increase the risk of transmitting bacteria, so drying is still an important step in prevention,” says Cleveland Clinic urgent care specialist Theresa Lash-Ritter, M.D. Her suggestion? Good old-fashioned paper towels. “It not only dries hands faster, but it dislodges bacteria to leave them cleaner.”

K

nown as much for her storytelling as her work in health psychology, Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D, is translating the neuroscience behind fitness into practical strategies for health and happiness. In her new book, The Joy of Movement, McGonigal inspires readers to move—and love it. Here, she talks about some surprising ways that fitness boosts our bodies and minds.

Move With Music “When you listen to music, the brain activates the motor system, which is why it’s used for stroke survivors and those with Parkinson’s disease. By listening to tunes you’ve previously exercised to, you can tap into the same feelings of strength, energy or happiness.”

It’s a stress-buster “Exercise has always been my goto strategy for dealing with stress,” McGonigal says. She points to a landmark 25-year-old study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology that found physical activity to be the most effective way to improve your mood. It beat eating, sleeping and talking with friends. “While it doesn’t eliminate stress, it does help us handle it with greater hope and calm. Plus, it tends to shift our mood toward a more positive outlook.” Psychologists call this the feel-better effect, she says, and it can be triggered by any type of exercise, even low-intensity activities like walking and stretching.

“What matters is that you move.”

It helps us connect When exercising, the brain releases chemicals, such as endorphins and endocannabinoids, which “increase the pleasure we take from connecting with others,” McGonigal says. “If you

GET MORE HEALTH INFO AT PARADE.COM JANUARY 2020

want to strengthen a relationship, take a walk together. If you want to form new friendships, find a place where you can move with others. If you struggle with social anxiety, regular exercise can make it easier and more enjoyable to spend time with others.”

It offers hope In The Joy of Movement, McGonigal writes about the science behind “hope molecules”—chemicals released by the muscles into the bloodstream during exercise to protect the brain from stress.

“These chemicals can [actually] help people recover from trauma,” she says.

“Every time you move, you are giving yourself an intravenous dose of hope.”

It boosts your brain Physical activity is already linked to better brain health, and McGonigal says that regular exercise can not only protect against Alzheimer’s disease but also strengthen the brain’s reward system.

“This can relieve depression and make you better able to experience everyday pleasures,” she says.

It can make you happier Because community enhances the joy of movement, McGonigal (who has also been a group yoga, dance and strength-training instructor for 20 years) suggests group fitness classes. “We can take strength from seeing others’ efforts,” she says.

“You get a stronger endorphin rush than when exercising alone, and there is even a specific feel-good effect of moving with others that psychologists call ‘collective joy.’ After being physically active with a group, people feel more optimistic, more hopeful and more connected to others.”

ince her 1975 debut as Barbara Cooper on One Day at a Time, Valerie Bertinelli has been a television mainstay.

Fans adored her as Melanie Moretti on Hot in Cleveland from 20102015 (opposite Betty White, Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick), and love seeing her on Food Network.

Bertinelli, 59, hosts Valerie’s Home Cooking, now in its 10th season, and AS SHE INVITES THE WORLD INTO HER KITCHEN, co-hosts Kids Baking Championship, where she and renowned pastry VALERIE BERTINELLI TALKS FINDING JOY IN chef Duff Goldman have been COOKING AND DEALING WITH SELF-DOUBT. scouting for America’s most

By Nicole Pajer talented young bakers since 2015.

It’s in the kitchen where the Golden Globe winner is truly at home, creating flavorful dishes and helping fans across the country do the same.

On Valerie’s Home Cooking, she walks viewers through her Lemon Love Cake, a ricotta and mascarpone layered dessert, and family staples, like her son’s favorite childhood pasta with garlicky broccoli. “He’s the thing I’m most proud of in my entire life,” she says of her 28-year-old son, Wolfgang “Wolfie” Van Halen, whom she had with ex-husband, rocker Eddie Van Halen. (Her Instagram handle is @WolfiesMom in his honor.) “I’m so lucky to be able to call myself his mother.”

The actress has recently partnered with the Food Network Kitchen app, which offers interactive live classes and invites aspiring home chefs to cook right alongside her, asking recipe questions in real time. “I’m hoping to give people some hacks to make their lives easier in the kitchen.”

Spry Living caught up with Bertinelli to discuss whipping up two Daytime Emmy awards, dealing with self-doubt and continuing her love of cooking, one dish at a time.

My love of cooking started early. I remember being six years old watching my Nonnie fry up bread. She asked me if I wanted cheese or jam on it, and knowing that you could change one ingredient—that it could be sweet or it could be cheesy—really intrigued me. And watching my mom come up with amazing dinners in her kitchen every day (without a microwave), seeing the art that went into it, that’s what started my lifelong love affair with cooking.

If there was anything like Hot in Cleveland, I would hop back into acting in a heartbeat!

I know the girls and I would definitely get together for some sort of reunion. But it wasn’t just about us. The writing and producing staff made it so brilliant. I think Melanie would be just as goofy as she’s always been; still wearing her heart on her sleeve and trying to look at the good side of life, even when it keeps slapping her in the face. I love that about her.

I still struggle with my weight.

I have good and bad days. There are weeks when I’m really good about what I put into my body, getting on my Peloton and working out. And then there are days when I don’t feel like being good to myself. That’s when gratitude helps. I say, “Hey, I can still climb these stairs.” I try to be grateful for what I have—and fitting into a pair of jeans, I don’t let that ruin my day.

I don’t like fad diets. I try to put the healthiest ingredients in my body, but I’m just confused sometimes by what one person says is healthy, and another says isn’t. I do believe that fat is good for us, so I’m going to continue to use butter and all the healthy oils!

I was so shocked to win two Daytime Emmys for Valerie’s Home Cooking. I have both of my Emmys on my dining room table. I’ll put a big beautiful vase of flowers between them. I see them as soon as I walk in the door, and I say, “Thank you girls. I love you.”

My whole life, I’ve had this imposter syndrome. “You shouldn’t be doing this. You’re so lucky to be doing that. Wait till they find out about you.” Winning my Emmys chipped away at that a little bit. I’m in a world where people make fun of actors trying to get into cooking, but I’ve been doing it longer than I’ve been acting. And I find so much joy in it. To be accepted and have people like the show and have it win Emmys is incredibly satisfying.

I’ve enjoyed being a part of the Food Network Kitchen App. I’ve done two live classes so far. To interact with everybody as you’re cooking is the most fun and interesting thing about it for me—I was watching Alex Guarnaschelli’s class today. I learned so much from her!

My website curates everything I’ve learned over the years.

On valeriebertinelli.com, you can see all the old stuff from Saturday Night Live and One Day at a Time, as well as stories about things to be grateful for or what it’s like to be sandwiched between aging parents and children—stories not just about me, but about what other people are going through.

To unwind, I like to meditate.

There’s a really great website called getyourfeelzon.com, and they have great meditations for anxiety and loving your body. I try to sit and be quiet. I also try to think positive thoughts and about things that I’m grateful for.

people who experience regular nighttime awakenings. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad sleeper or that you have insomnia. It’s more likely that at one point, you woke up at that time in response to sleep apnea or a crying baby, and your body became conditioned to it. By itself, waking up in the middle of the night isn’t a problem. However, staying awake can be. The next time it happens, give yourself 15 to 20 minutes to doze back into dreamland. If you’re awake longer than that, it’s best to get out of bed. Our brains are highly associative, so staying in bed for a long time without sleeping can associate bedtime with worrying and planning, instead of sleep. Get up and practice deep breathing or meditation or read something boring.
