98.6°

Is it cold in here? Over the past 150 years, the standard normal body temperature has actually decreased from the canonical 98.6°F (what we learned in school) to 97.9°F, according to a recent Stanford University study. Researchers reviewed more than 650,000 temperature measurements since the Civil War era and concluded that the nearly onedegree drop is likely due to physiological changes.

Live the Seasons

While no one ingredient is a miracle worker, certain vitamin-, mineral- and antioxidant-dense foods have earned the marketing label: Superfood.

Combine them with a balanced diet and pack your meals with powerhouse nutrients: Hemp Seeds: A complete plant-based source of protein (and magnesium and potassium), these mild-tasting seeds can be added to pesto, soups, salads or wild rice dishes.

Mushrooms: White, cremini, portobello, oyster and shiitake mushrooms all have unique antioxidant content that may even reduce inflammation or ward off pesky colds and flus. (Add garlic for double the bacteria-fighting power.)

Ginger: Sip away! Ginger tea is known to help calm an upset stomach or nausea.

Dark Leafy Greens: Toss spinach (whose immune-boosting B vitamins may ward off infection), Swiss chard or kale into stews and soups or sauté with olive oil for a boost of fiber, vitamin C, iron and calcium.

Olive Oil: A great source of vitamin E, polyphenols and monounsaturated fat, olive oil (known to reduce risks of heart disease) can be used for dressings, sautéing or roasting vegetables.

Cinnamon: For healthier blood sugar levels (it’s thought to help with glucose control), sprinkle cinnamon in your coffee grounds or smoothies or use as a flavor boost for meat and pork.

Nuts: High in protein and good monounsaturated fats, hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds and cashews (which can help reduce the risk of diabetes) make for a great snack. Add to oatmeal or salads, or try a nut butter.

It wasn’t long ago that the seasons dictated what we ate and how we slept, moved and even socialized. In The 4 Season Solution (March 10), Dallas Hartwig, co-author of The Whole30, makes the case for living that way again and provides a modern-day blueprint. Following the little changes in his plan could help you “reclaim your health, regain your energy and let go of excess weight,” he says.

Fast Fact

How Active Are You? Have you participated in any physical activity or exercise over the past month? Fifteen percent of Americans answered ‘No’ to that question in a recent survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In almost half the states, more than one in four adults considered themselves physically inactive, increasing to more than 30 percent in seven states (Tennessee, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama, Kentucky, Arkansas and Mississippi).

Diabetes Myths Debunked Are You at Risk?

T

he most common form, Type 2 diabetes prevents your body from properly using insulin. While your genetic markers play important roles, the following may increase your risk:

hat’s true and what’s just plain false? Setting the record straight is Roy Taylor, M.D., whose new book Life Without Diabetes (March 17) recommends dietary habits that he believes can help reverse Type 2 diabetes. His strategies target fat in the liver and pancreas, where studies have shown fat accumulates and contributes to the disease’s development. Here are four common diabetes myths he’s debunking:

W

> Myth 1: It’s due to obesity

There’s a common misconception that those with diabetes are obese or overweight. But individuals can get Type 2 diabetes at any level of body mass index (BMI), a value derived from the weight and height of a person. “Everyone has a personal fat threshold,” Taylor says. “And population averages are irrelevant. If you’re built to be healthy with a BMI of 22, then you may get diabetes if your BMI rises to 25. Your friend may be metabolically healthy with a BMI of 36, but develop the disease with a BMI of 39.” > Myth 2: Diabetes is rarely “serious”

“It’s often a desperate condition,” Taylor says of the disease that’s responsible for more than 1 million deaths each year (Type 1 and Type 2 combined). It causes more than 100,000 amputations per year and is the most common cause of preventable blindness, he says. Plus, its complications can create familial, social, mental and job-related stress.

4

> Myth 3: Sugar is in your blood because you ate too much of it

Morning glucose spikes happen naturally.

“Overnight, the sugar in your blood has been made by your liver. Then there is a double whammy,” Taylor says, when you eat carbs and digest them into sugar. But the basic problem is that the body isn’t using insulin properly. “Losing fat from the liver and pancreas can restore this function.” > Myth 4: It’s irreversible

Taylor suggests that while large studies show Type 2 diabetes often worsens over the years, these reports simply observe what happens when its basic cause (“fat inside the liver and pancreas”) isn’t treated “and is still causing mischief. Remission of Type 2 diabetes by fat loss is achievable.”

• Age (45 or older) • Weight While being overweight or obese does not mean you will get diabetes, it is a major risk factor, particularly if you have excess weight around your stomach.

• Family history Type 2 diabetes has a stronger link to family history than Type 1, according to the American Diabetes Association.

• Inactivity Regular exercise will not only help you control weight, but it will also help lower blood sugar by increasing insulin sensitivity.

• High blood pressure • High cholesterol • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) • Race African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans and some Pacific Islanders and Asian Americans all have higher rates of diabetes.

Spry Interview

A

fter 11 seasons of playing Claire Dunphy on Modern Family, you can understand why fans ask actress Julie Bowen if she’s just like the TV mom she plays. “I’m like, ‘Well, I look kind of like her and we talk the same, but we’re also different. For instance, she can day drink and I cannot.’ Wine makes me sleepy. I wish I had her skills!” Bowen says.

Truth be told, there are similarities. The 50-year-old Emmy winner is a mom to Oliver, 12, and 10-year-old twins, John and Gustav, and she’s the first to admit that sometimes, real life seems like a comedy: “The number of times I’ve had to teach my children how to sneeze…it’s unbelievable. Every sneeze is like the first time they’ve sneezed.”

Bowen is not a germaphobe, but she’s keen on common-sense ways to stay well.

That includes getting the flu vaccine (she’s a spokesperson for Xofluza, a single-dose influenza treatment) and not tempting fate: “There’s a door to stage 5 where we shoot Modern Family, and I’m not going to touch that doorknob because it gets about 3,000 hands a day,” she says.

In addition to helping her family and others make it through flu season unscathed, the actress is wrapping her head around the end of a Modern Family era. The show’s final episode is April 8, and although Bowen isn’t quite ready to move out of the Dunphy house for good, she’s thankful to have been a part of the award-winning project. Spry Living caught up with Bowen to discuss closing a major acting chapter and what her wellness routine looks like at 50.

Claire taught me how to parent. She had older children when we started, and mine were babies. I was fed the wisdom of the writer’s room and got to learn with these fake children at work. I’ve gotten to watch them grow up, and they have turned out so beautifully if I do say so myself! It’s given me a lot of confidence as a parent. You’re not supposed to be their best friend when they’re little—I got that from Claire. But then I get to look down the pipeline and go, “Hey, Claire gets to hang out with her kids and actually

enjoy them. Maybe I will too someday when I don’t have to be the limits-and-boundaries person.”

What will I miss about Modern Family?

Oh my God, everything. The friendship, the easy camaraderie, the fact that I have a job.

People are like, “You’re not very social.” But I laugh with my friends at work all day. I don’t need to go to a party on the weekends because I have this crazy job that is a party.

I eat really clean and have pretty simple rules: I try not to eat white food, like white rice, pasta and white bread. There aren’t really any white foods that are good for you when you think about it. Marshmallows?

Powdered sugar? Nope. I also like to see

I turned 50 in early March, and the clichés about aging are so true.

Sometimes, I wish I could put my current brain in my 20-year-old body and say, “Do not worry about all this crap. Do not worry about money or meeting the right person.” I don’t know if it’s exhaustion or wisdom, but the end product is an intelligence that comes from being older. I’m not as quick to get upset about things.

I’m still an emotional person, and I’m happy about that—I’ve made money off of it! But I

don’t feel like it has to drive me every day.

I’ve never admitted this publicly, but I started meditating last year. I’m afraid to talk about it because I feel like I caught some lightning in a bottle. I just decided I was going to count my breaths one day. I thought, “Well, I’ll count to 100 breaths. I’m not going to think about whether or not I’m doing it right.”

I thought it would probably take like seven minutes. I did it and looked at my watch, and it was 24 minutes later! I can’t deny that something happened. That drove me to (Continued on page 14)

tax Social Security benefits, living costs tend to be low relative to income. Property taxes are low, and “un-retirement” pensioners can find a booming economy if they choose to work.

Health: With a focus on fitness, year-round sports and high-quality health care, Utah came in at No. 5 in the latest Gallup National Health and Well-Being Index.

The 5 Best States to

Retire

WE LOOKED AT AFFORDABILITY, HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE TO FIND OUT WHICH STATES MAKE FOR THE HAPPIEST, HEALTHIEST RETIREMENT. By Paula Spencer Scott

W

hich factors will lead to retirement haven? Experts say having a lot to do tops the list. That’s because socializing, exercising and community involvement keep aging brains and bodies young. “Retirement can really be bad, unless you have something to retire to,” says Daniel J. Levitin, author of Successful Aging. Money managers emphasize a low cost of living and favorable taxes.

Add in good health care, scenic beauty and nice neighbors, and you might just want to consider one of these top states:

South Dakota Wealth: Retirement dollars stretch as far as the horizon here, thanks to a below-average cost of living, affordable housing, a low 4.5 percent sales tax and no state income tax, which includes no taxing on retirement benefits.

Health: Urban hospitals are known for geriatric services and advanced telehealth services that reach rural towns. Plus, the Milken Institute named Sioux Falls and Rapid City among the top small metro areas for successful aging.

Happiness: A high quality of life can be found among nature in The Mount Rushmore State’s

Black Hills National Forest, Badlands National Park, Wind Cave National Park or at popular fishing spots like Pactola Lake.

Tennessee Wealth: Tennessee has the fifth lowest cost of living at 10.2 percent below the national average (including in health care) with no state income tax and no pension tax. Consider relocating to the college town of Knoxville, which has been named one of the country’s most affordable cities—as well as one of the first “dementia friendly” places to live.

Health: A mild climate and 54 state parks make it easy to fish, hike and enjoy the outdoors across the state.

Happiness: Enjoy a wide range of tourism hot spots throughout the year, including the Great Smoky Mountains, Grand Ole Opry, Graceland, Dollywood, Appalachian Trail, Beale Street in Memphis and more. Plus, the state’s Volunteer Tennessee program embraces its nickname, inviting newcomers to join conservation, education and other community efforts.

Utah Wealth: Although it’s one of the few states to

GET MORE HEALTH INFO AT PARADE.COM MARCH 2020

Happiness: Find joy in stargazing opportunities, genealogy research, a thriving intergenerational scene, five mind-blowing national parks and more. Plus, Utah’s Salt Lake City and Provo-Orem made the Milken Institute’s latest list of the best cities for successful aging.

South Carolina Wealth: Fixed incomes can cash in on Southern hospitality. The cost of living in South Carolina is almost 10 percent below average, home prices rank 37 (out of 50), there’s no tax on Social Security benefits, and deductions are generous for retirees.

Health: The No. 1 draw is the subtropical, year-round climate, which allows for sunfilled days of beachcombing and golfing. It’s a low-stress, laid-back lifestyle, and when it comes to the food, the catch of the day just might strike your healthy-living fancy.

Happiness: Many Palmetto State retirees begin along the Grand Strand and various beaches or relocate into abundant retireefocused communities and thriving historic havens such as walkable Charleston, beautiful Beaufort and capital Columbia.

Wyoming Wealth: For older adults, the taxes are among the country’s best, with one of the lowest tax rates and no state income tax. Housing prices are below national average as well.

Health: In the Cowboy State, enjoy clean air, grass-fed bison, bird-watching, fly fishing, horseback riding, skiing and all the big skies you care to meditate under.

Happiness: Rugged individualists might find the least populated state quite peaceful.

Retirees cluster in pricey resort towns like Jackson Hole and Cody, affordable college town Laramie, cultural Casper and small retreats like Buffalo and Sheridan. WY not?!

There’s a hallway that we very seldom shoot in, but we’re often standing in it just before we enter the kitchen on set.

And there are two drawings of birds.

I’ve spent countless hours staring at those birds, so I think that’s something I would take. It reminds me of this little corner of the set where I’ve spent so much time.

My sisters and cousins call me “Derelicte” [from Zoolander] when I have to dress myself. I get up in the morning, and I’m always dressed for a run. I don’t know when that run is going to happen. It might not happen until 6 o’clock at night.

I don’t do cute workout clothes because I’m all about comfort, and so they’re stuck with what they call “the homeless athlete” for the rest of the day. I’ll be wearing a parka that I stole from set because I burned it on one of the space heaters (I’ve put duct tape over the hole), running tights and sneakers.

I’m finally starting to carve out some “me time” as a mom of three. I found out that legally your kids are allowed to be in the house alone for up to an hour. I was like, “You mean I can go for a run with the alarm on and lock the door, and I’m not going to get arrested?” I tell them, “No cooking, no fighting,” and I go. That changed everything. And because they’re older now, I’m not on deathwatch anymore. I can go and lay down and read. I set my alarm for when it’s time to get up and make dinner. Those little windows are great.

There aren’t many, but they’re great.
