Superheroes on Parade

JUHS Homecoming is a Marvel

By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

atman,Thor,The Avengers and Iron Man inspired the students of Julian Union High School for this year’s Homecoming festivities, with each graduating class choosing their favorite comic as the theme for their parade floats and dance decorations. Teams of students, along with parents and teachers, descended on the JUHS parking lot after school on Thursday before Homecoming, bringing trailers, tools and materials, food and music provided by parents and teachers. They worked side by side in friendly competition to create floats for the parade. As they labored late into the night under floodlights and a bright moon rising in the eastern sky, the comic book sets came to life with the help of the teenagers’ hammers and paintbrushes. A few dedicated students showed up bright and early

before school the next morning to put the finishing touches on their creations. School let out early so cheerleaders, princes, princesses — and a host of villains, superheroes and sidekicks — could parade down Main Street, demonstrating their school spirit and Eagle pride to onlookers who lined the street. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. The parade started with the Iron Man float, built by the freshman class of 2018, followed by their prince and princess, Nyemetaay Linton and Jessica Ramos. The cheerleading squad and the Eagle mascot came after them, with dance moves and cheers to rally the crowd for the day’s contests. Next up, the power of Thor represented the class of 2017, and prince and princess Nicolas Ritchie and Paige Smith waved to the crowd from a sporty silver convertible.

The JUHS cheerleading squad and Eagle Mascot add spirit to the parade.

The class of 2016 followed with The Avengers and prince and princess Vladymir Wong and Victoria Montes. Batman and the cast of characters from Gotham City led the class of 2015. They were followed by the Homecoming royal court vying

for king and queen, including Alysa Smith and Jake Cirillo, Jazmin Cruz and Guillermo Lopez, Drew Bullock and Erika Abarca, Francois Piquard and Nikki Blanco, and Avah Gonzalez and Chance Perez, to close out the parade.

New Faces in Familiar Places

Miner’s Diner and Mountain Gypsy Under New Ownership By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

hen “for sale” signs were hung in the windows of The Mountain Gypsy and Miner’s Diner months ago, people wondered what would become of the longtime Main Street establishments. Would buyers step forward? If so, would they keep employees and the familiar products and services, or replace them, as has happened before? Thanks to sellers who helped ease buyers into their roles as proprietors, both enterprises transitioned with just enough change to reflect the personalities of new owners, while staying true to the time-tested business model that made the ventures so attractive. Before she moved to Julian seven years ago, Beth Snider-Rodriguez had it in the back of her mind that she would one day buy a store in a mountain community. She was winding down her community college teaching career when, walking through town one day,

she learned that The Mountain Gypsy was for sale. A few months later, retired from teaching, she bought the store just weeks before the lease was to expire. Since January, she has been having a blast learning the retail business and putting her mark on the “Gypsy.” Grateful not to have to create a business all on her own, SniderRodriguez shadowed the former owner at trade shows and offered an opportunity for her assistant to stay on to ensure the store’s continued success. “The international clientele who come here to shop is amazing,” says Snider-Rodriguez, who is fluent in Italian and has studied several languages. She once shared a good laugh with a Turkish customer by addressing her in her native tongue. She has carried on the tradition of stocking a unique style of clothing that appeals to women of all sizes, and has added more shoes, different types of jewelry and decorative items, includ-

ing whimsical little sculptures called “bouncies” that hang from coil springs. Creating a social media presence to reach out to clients — many of whom live in far-flung corners of the earth — is her next mission. At the other end of town, Julian residents Fred and Misty Dornon, the new owners of Miner’s Diner, have been busy getting up to speed on the restaurant business. They passed on the chance to buy the diner at first glance, deterred by the building’s age and their inexperience with the restaurant business, and focused their search instead on properties as far away as the East Coast. In the end, buying a local business made the most sense, especially since the sellers were willing to negotiate and helped them get a solid start on running the restaurant. Making no major changes to the operations, the Dornons tweaked details to create a better overall experience for customers and staff, such as instituting table service and switching to freshground Angus beef burgers. New kitchen equipment keeps the cooks ahead of the wait staff during busy times. They kept much of the existing staff, learning from them how to

improve the business. Shortly after the Dornons bought the building, the adjoining Julian Drug Store and Candy Mine closed, leaving room to expand the restaurant and create a historical and multi-sensory experience for customers. They replaced chrome fixtures with authentic wooden display cabinets filled with artifacts they found stored away in boxes upstairs from The

October Merchants Breakfast

Tozer Drug Store that occupied the space in the 1930s. “Keeping the history alive is important,” said Misty. An antique medicine label cabinet, unopened medicine bottles, photos and signage are original to the building. A tinkerer at heart, Fred and his son Michael created cave-like walls in the Candy Mine, filled it with mining artifacts and added a sound system that mimics the sounds of men working in the mine, including the occasional dynamite explosion followed by flickering lights.

Customers come in and are nostalgic about the past. The Dornons aim to give them good memories and a reason to want to come back. “Julian is about fun, making memories, nostalgia, and taking time off to enjoy life,” said Fred who thinks creating an exceptional experience for visitors is the fun part of his new line of work. n

Warner FFA’s Fall ‘Agventures’ By Ocean Laidlaw

ately, Warner Springs FFA has had a lot going on! To start off, we have had a couple of chapter meetings. We have an FFA meeting once a month for all FFA members. In these meetings, we discuss what will be going on in the upcoming month and what we need to

start getting prepared for in order to be the most successful we can be, to the best of our abilities. Once official business is taken care of, the meetings are followed by an exciting activity, such as carving pumpkins in celebration of Halloween. Thank you to Mountain Valley Ranch

Warner Springs FFA Chapter officers, from left, Hernan Hernandez, Gabrielle Norte, Maribel Reyes, Apiradee Phadungyan, Ocean Laidlaw and Yotsapol Phadungyan at leadership training.

Did Your Kitchen Drop the Ball Over the Holidays?

Your home works like a Team, and the kitchen is your Quarterback. How did your kitchen perform in the Big Game this past Holiday Season? Kitchen performance is especially important when family and friends are visiting and the pressure is on. You may have experienced any or all of the following problems: failing appliances, cramped quarters, traffic jams, inadequate prep space, and messy, old-fashioned countertops that are impossible to keep clean. At some point, it becomes painfully obvious, something needs to be done! But what is the first step to understanding your repair options? No doubt you are asking yourself, how much is this going to cost, and where do I start?

Kitchen Barn Offers Free Advice!

Take advantage of us. . . Most people will have one chance to remodel a kitchen in their entire life, and the learning curve is pretty steep. The smart shopper will look for someone they trust with previous experience to lead them through the process. Though price is an important

consideration, unless you have had some recent experience working with kitchen design, modern-day cabinet products, countertops, lighting, granite and appliances, you may find yourself completely overwhelmed. How would you know what pitfalls to watch out for, what questions to ask, or how to determine what really is a good price? At Kitchen Barn, we have a great staff of kitchen professionals who have decades of experience. That is something you will quickly come to appreciate. We have spent our careers building a reputation for excellent service and integrity, right here in Ramona. Our goal is to help you determine the right solution with the least amount of anxiety.

for their donation of pumpkins. Along with preparing for our meetings, we’ve been busy with planning fundraisers. Our latest one was Apple Days parking. The Cozens family donated a weekend for us to raise money by charging for parking during Apple Days. Thank you very much to the Cozens family for your donation and continuous support.

Recently, 18 of our FFA members competed in their first public speaking competition of the year. It was the FFA Ceremonies competition, which is composed of a team of six people performing the FFA Ceremonies speech. In the competition, all teams are to say the speech to the best of their abilities. They are scored on how they speak, how they look and how they act.

All teams did well, placed well, and ended up with three outstanding student awards. But as we’ve been taught, a competition isn’t always about winning or losing. The most important thing is to try your best, smile and have fun as you’re building skills you’ll have for life. And we did! We had lots of fun, had the opportunity to meet lots of new people who will be with us throughout our FFA ventures, and we built on our public speaking skills. But the fun and building didn’t stop there. Our chapter FFA officers attended a conference in Indio on Oct. 18. The conference focused on

the development of leadership skills in officers and on how to organize and manage successful chapter activities. This valuable leadership training was conducted by the state FFA officers and the Southern Region FFA officers. Other than public speaking competitions, we’ve begun our career development by attending our first field day at El Capitan High School. Warner Springs FFA Chapter is busy learning and developing premier leadership, career success and personal growth, along with having a lot of fun!

GRAND OPENING – UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

‘Chicken Soup’ Chooses Local Writer’s Fire Story

By Annette Williams ~ the journal

hen publishers of the new “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Finding Your Inner Strength” book were looking through the thousands of story submissions they received, they chose one written by Julian resident Sandra Sladkey. “I’m tickled, because they get 4,000 to 5,000 submissions and pick 101 stories for each book,” she says.

A story by Sandra Sladkey is featured in the new “Chicken Soup” book. Photo by Jerry Sladkey

“I wrote the story a couple months after we lost our home in the Cedar fire. Guideposts magazine published a very edited version of the story in 2004. ‘Chicken Soup’ won’t normally publish a story that has been published in another major publication, but since Guideposts’ version was highly edited and so different from the original, ‘Chicken Soup’ had no qualms — and they left my story virtually verbatim.” Her story, titled “Out of the Ashes,” on page 393, is about something she found in the ruins of the fire-ravaged home she shared with her husband, Jerry Sladkey, and daughter, Selah. NOVEMBER 6, 2014

“Each story in their books has a quote at the top of the page before the story begins. I chose a Mother Teresa quote that is on a plaque on my office wall,” she says. About a year ago, she was curious about how to submit a story to be considered for the popular book series. “I’ve always loved their books and thought it would be neat to be in one. On their site, they give you upcoming titles of their books and allow you to submit stories for those specific future publications.” Sladkey sent three or four stories and almost forgot about it until her book was in the running. She learned she was a finalist on Aug. 4. Three weeks later she received confirmation that her story would be included in the book, which was published Oct. 28. There are perks that come with being an official “Chicken Soup” writer, she discovered. “They include you as part of their ‘inner circle,’ as they call it, and you receive exclusive communiqués and opportunities to know ahead new titles that are coming up for publication.” Anticipating that her story will receive widespread attention, Sladkey plans to spend more time on her blog, heavenheaded@blogspot.com. “As you get older, especially as a Christian, you start thinking more about how to leave your mark in the world — in a way that counts,” she says. “For me, there are three areas that I feel could really have an impact. The first, of course, is raising kids who decide to follow Christ. The other two, for me, are children’s ministry and writing. Writing is a way to leave a lasting legacy.” n

amona Writing Group is calling it quits after 32 years. Aspiring writers and published authors have been getting together twice a month since 1982, first as a class under Palomar College, then as an individual group at Ramona Senior Center. Annette Williams has been leading the group for the past few years. She has attended classes “off and on” since 1988. As attendance kept going down, the decision was made to curtail regular meetings. There may be occasional meetings scheduled from time to time, she said. “In the 1980s and ‘90s, when the writing group was going strong, we had more than two dozen students in the Palomar College class,” Williams said. “As we improved in our writing, we encouraged each other to enter the San Diego Showcase Writers Club’s yearly competition. It was exciting to see our stories and poems published in the annual Showcase Writers’ anthology.” One Palomar teacher, Mario Roccatani, lived in Julian in the 1990s and commuted to teach the Ramona class. Several times he invited the group to his Pine Hills home for an informal gettogether. The purpose of the group is to encourage each other and offer helpful critiques of their writings. They also provide information on self-publishing and other opportunities that are available in the publishing world. “Classmates regularly wrote stories and articles, fine-tuning them with each other’s help.” Williams said. “These items were often accepted for publication in magazines covering a wide variety of interests, from science fiction and poetry to true-life stories and technology.” The group has attracted a wide assortment of writing styles over the years. “In the last decade, the group welcomed members with a serious focus on writing books,” Williams said. “With today’s ease of print-on-demand publishing, many of us now have multiple titles in print and available as e-books.” One of the main criteria stressed by the group is being comfortable with what the writers hear from each other when their work is critiqued. “Writing is such a personal involvement that comes from you that we can all relate to,” Gaille Brennan said. “It’s so important for everyone in the group to

Recently, he spoke to interested families at Waldorf School in Rolando. He indicated that the book is about protecting children, who sometimes are asked to play years before their bodies and mental capacities are prepared for team play. He points to a chapter titled “Too much, too soon.” “I’m not against them playing in recreational activity,” he said. “But I feel kids should not be asked to perform in team sports until they are 12 or 13 and should not play in more than one sport during a season, I’ve talked to doctors about it, and they say children’s muscles and joints are not developed enough. “With some injuries, kids can be damaged for life. We must protect our kids.” As a father of five children and a youth sports coach, Llosa has the credentials for this topic. There are many stories in the book concerning excessive playing time, abuses, cheating and even steroid use. “One father-coach had a fine pitcher but pitched him into the ground,” he said. “Then the boy quit.” The figure might seem a bit high, but he said he and his associates found that more than 70 percent of the kids quit

organized sports by the age of 13. He speaks about age checks in later years, too. He reported about a Dominican Republic pitcher who had been throwing nohitters but was actually two years older than legal Little League age. “His father and coach used him to get this notoriety, lying and being a cheat, which was a form of abuse,” Llosa said. Working with state and federal authorities, Llosa said they investigated steroid use among younger kids. He also visited nine South American countries to observe youth sports, which, in his words, was a commodity.

He talks about the power of play, creativity and how to choose the best coach for your kid. Llosa said the problems are pandemic and not specific. In terms of concussions, he said football is high, but so is soccer, and it’s also a problem in girls basketball. “Playing different sports is good, but also necessary,” Llosa believes. “That can make them a better participant. Problem is, parents over-commit kids, with a potential for injury being very high. Kids can get exhausted and tired. “There should be a pause.” But you can’t erase the fact that coaches want to win. “For them,” he says, “it’s egobased, to show off for their friends or people at work.” In terms of a kid’s physical body and extending the Little League season into a world series, he said that’s too long. “It’s not good to receive all that attention on national television,” he said. Information has been acquired over 20 years, and the book took a year to complete. Co-authors are Kim John Payne and Scott B. Lancaster, who is the former National Football League youth sports director. n

Writing Group Continued from page 7 publishing industry has changed tremendously,” Gallagher said. “It depends on what your objective is.” Gallagher, as well as other writers in the group, use a selfpublishing method known as “print on demand.” Former member Ruth Froiland, who now lives in New Mexico, contacted the group with some of her fondest memories. She became an active member in the early 1980s, when it was taught by Hal Lingerman from Palomar College. “I was in Hal’s class and loved it,” Froiland wrote. “He used music to stimulate our creative abilities. I remember Dorace Scarbery and Charlotte Mortimer were in the class, and perhaps Lark Burkhart. There were others, but I’ve forgotten who. Zee Payne was NOVEMBER 6, 2014

in the group early in our years and Allen Pyeatt — wonderful memories of those days.” Another former member was Shirley Wells, now living in Arizona. “When I first heard about the class, I was so excited to go,” Wells wrote. “I was staying up all night writing things, just anything that came to my mind.” Through the class, Wells learned important tips and techniques to becoming a good writer and launching her career in writing. She was in the early classes taught by Lingerman. “The one important thing I got from Hal Lingerman’s class was to write exactly what you mean to say,” Wells recalled. “In other words, don’t halfway say it, be extremely self-explanatory.” n JULIAN Journal 11

Tree Lighting a Highlight of the Holiday Season By Annette Williams ~ the journal

Businesses are decked out in holiday finery in preparation for hristmastime gets an ofthe ceremonial lighting of the ficial welcome at the Julian town’s official Christmas tree, Country Christmas and Tree set for Nov. 29. Lighting, Julian’s first and largest “I’ve been involved with event of the season. Country Christmas for the 15 4SDG12443__CAREPrint_ENG__JULIANJOURNAL__Run:11_01_14__7.94X10

years that we have been in town,” says Butterfield Bed & Breakfast owner Ed Glass, a Chamber member and event chairman. Glass commended Chamber president Mike Menghini for his participation as one of the main decorators, and thanked the faithful team of decorators. “We’ve always got a crew of very enthusiastic and very well-organized people who install the decorations early in November throughout town, all up and down Main Street and some of the side streets. We’ve got a very good crew.” It’s a labor of love from the merchants of Julian, and their work is appreciated in return. “When I talk to people who come up during the holidays, it’s the small-town atmosphere that they really love,” Glass says. “You’re up in the mountains, the carriages in town always have sleigh bells during the holiday time. We have people who come year after year with their kids, and I talk to them as they’re waiting for Santa. They always say, ‘It’s the best ever!’ It’s a common theme here.” On this very special day, musical acts and dance troupes begin entertaining guests in the Julian Pioneer Museum Park on Washington Street at 1 p.m., as carolers in Victorian costumes stroll through town. A living Nativity at the corner of Main and B streets provides an inspirational focal point. Throughout the day, merchants, restaurants, bakeries and lodging establishments extend a warm welcome to shoppers and guests. Shortly after 5 p.m., as darkness falls, excitement builds in anticipation of the lighting of the tree, an honor that goes to the Julian Chamber of Commerce Merchant of the Year. Santa Claus’ arrival on a fire truck adds to the fun, as youngsters happily tell him their fondest wishes. More than 1,000 people attend the festivities, which carry on rain or shine — or even snow! Visit www.julianca.com for information about holiday events and activities. n

Did You Know? The origins of Veterans Day can be traced to the ending of World War I nearly a century ago. Known at the time as “The Great War,” World War I officially ended on June 28, 1919, with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in France. But the fighting had actually ended seven months earlier when an armistice between the Allies and Germany went into effect on Nov. 11, 1918. The following Nov. United States President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11 “Armistice Day” in honor of the cessation of the hostilities, and the day became a federal holiday in 1938. That act was amended in 1954, after veterans service organizations, in recognition of the efforts of soldiers who fought in World War II, asked that the day be renamed "Veterans Day" so it honored all soldiers and not just those who fought in World War I. n

Thanksgiving Time Roasted Thanksgiving Turkey

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

Total Time: 25 hr, 10 min • Prep:10 min Inactive: 20 hr • Cook: 5 hr Yield:18 servings • Level: Easy

Total Time: 35 min • Prep: 15 min Cook: 20 min • Yield: 8 servings • Level: Easy

Directions Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Trim the bottom end of the Brussels sprouts, leaving the core intact, and pull off the outer dark leaves. Halve through the core. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook, uncovered, until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. (This can be done a day ahead.) Meanwhile, put the oil and bacon in a very large skillet or stewpot, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until they brown and the edges get crisp, about 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, salt, pepper, and bacon. Serve warm.

Ingredients

2 2 1 2 5 5 4 2 3

3 pounds medium Brussels sprouts 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 8 thick slices bacon (about 8 ounces), cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed Freshly ground black pepper

1 1 3 3

gallons water cups apple juice 1/2 cups kosher salt cups brown sugar cloves garlic, crushed bay leaves tablespoons black peppercorns tablespoons dried rosemary oranges, peeled, white pith removed, skin roughly chopped (20-pound) fresh turkey 1/2 sticks softened butter tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves tablespoons chopped orange zest

Directions Combine the water, apple juice, salt, sugar, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, dried rosemary, and orange peel in a large pot and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat immediately, cover, and allow mixture to come to room temperature. Cool mixture in the fridge until you're ready. To brine the turkey, remove the turkey from wrapper, remove interior bags (set aside; refrigerate), and rinse turkey thoroughly under cool water. Place the turkey into a plastic brining bag or a very large pot. Pour the cooled brine mixture over the top, adding extra cold water if you need more to completely cover the turkey. Seal the bag or cover the pot and allow the turkey to brine in the refrigerator for 16 to 24 hours before roasting. Before roasting, remove the turkey from brine and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Then soak in a sink full of fresh water for 15 to 20 minutes. Pat dry. Discard brine. (This soaking process will decrease the likelihood of too-salty gravy). Preheat the oven 275 degrees F. Truss the bird and place it breast side up on a rack in a large roasting pan. Cover the turkey tightly with heavy-duty foil. Make sure it's entirely covered (cover over the bottom edges of the pan). Place in the oven and roast for about 10 minutes per pound (a 20 pound turkey will roast for about 3 1/2 hours). Remove the turkey from the oven and increase the temperature to 375 degrees F. Remove the aluminum foil and set aside. Mix the softened butter with the rosemary and orange zest and rub all over the skin of the turkey, covering every single inch of the skin. Insert a meat thermometer into the thigh, near the hip joint. Place the turkey, uncovered, back into the oven. Continue roasting the turkey, basting with butter every 30 minutes, until the thermometer registers 170 degrees F and until the juices are no longer pink. Remove from the oven and cover with foil until you are ready to carve and serve. Reserve pan juices to make gravy. Cook's Note: This is enough for a 20 pound fresh turkey. You can decrease the quantity for a smaller bird. NOVEMBER 6, 2014

n Oct. 8, for the second time this year, night owls were able to witness a very special lunar event.Those who ventured out in the wee hours of the morning were treated to an unusual view of the moon — a total lunar eclipse. It was part of a series of four such eclipses within two years known as a “tetrad.” The earth began casting a shadow over the moon at 1:17 a.m. By 3:37, totally eclipsed by the earth’s shadow, the moon temporarily disappeared from view and then began to reappear until the eclipse was over by 4:22. Similar to the way a sunset sometimes appears red or orange because of atmospheric

conditions, the moon had a reddish light cast across its surface when it reappeared.

The next total lunar eclipses will be on April 4 and Sept. 28, 2015. n

when it moved to its present location on Highway 78. In 1955, the alumni association donated the bell to “all past, present & future students, faculty, staff and trustees of Julian Union High School.” For years, the bell stood

in an alcove on the façade of the JUHS science building as a symbol of the town’s history. Removed during the demolition of the old science building, the bell now stands on a pedestal outside the entrance of the brand-new science building. n

Holidays May be Hazardous to Your Health By Dr. John Young

Life Is Better Under The Arch.

Birdsell. “No matter what, we want them to show up.” Birdsell promises discounts for those who renew their Chamber membership early or if they refer a new, first-time business that joins. In addition, she says, “At the mixer, we will have a special drawing for all 2015 members who pay by the mixer date — even if they pay at the mixer.”

It’s a sad statistical fact that the holidays — from Halloween to New Year’s Day — are a treacherous time when it comes to our health. “There’s a spike in heart attacks and other cardiac issues,” says Dr. John Young, a physician specializing in the treatment of chronic illnesses through biochemical, physiological and nutraceutical technologies, and the author of “Beyond Treatment: Discover how to build a cellular foundation to achieve optimal health.” “The incidence of pneumonia cases spikes in both cold and warm climates,” Dr. Young says. “And deaths from natural causes spike. In fact, more people die of natural causes on Christmas Day than any other day of the year.” While those numbers are welldocumented, the causes are not. “Stress plays a role, particularly if your immune system is weakened,” he says. “If you look at how most of us eat from Halloween through New Year’s, it’s easy to see how the immune system takes a beating, and otherwise healthy people become more susceptible to illness.” It’s basic biochemistry, he says. “We eat a lot more refined sugar, for instance, which is a carbohydrate that’s been stripped of all the vitamins, minerals and proteins that make up a complete carbohydrate. Our bodies can’t use that, so the cells in our digestive organs work overtime, burning up a lot of energy, vitamins and minerals to digest it, and they get nothing back. So, eventually, they grow weak.” So can we have a little sugar, and good health, too? Dr. Young says we can. “The occasional slice of pumpkin pie is fine as long as you’re also feeding your cells with the nutrients they need — the minerals, vitamins, good quality protein, amino acids, essential fatty acids — to stay healthy.”  Young offers these suggestions for staying healthy through the holidays and throughout the year. • Get your vitamin D. Vitamin D is actually a hormone, not a vitamin, and one of our best sources for it is sun-

shine. Unfortunately, many people work indoors all day, so they get little sun exposure. When they do go outside, they wear long sleeves and sunblock to protect against skin cancer. And, of course, in the wintertime, people tend to stay inside. As a result, many of us are vitamin D deficient and should be taking supplements. “Vitamin D is crucial to many physiological systems, including our immune defenses,” Dr. Young says. “It helps fight bacterial and viral infections, including the flu. It supports our cardiovascular system. Optimal vitamin D levels can reduce hypertension, heart attacks and stroke. If I feel I’m coming down with a cold, I’ll take 40,000 units of vitamin D at bedtime. The next morning, I usually feel like a new person.” • Eat your protein — 1 gram for every 2.2 pounds of body weight daily.  In this country, we think a healthy diet means eating a lot of fruits and vegetables, but we’ve forgotten protein. “Our immune system is made up of proteins, and our bones are 40 percent protein,” he says. “We need protein.”   When calculating protein intake, consider that an egg has about 8 grams, and 8 ounces of fish, chicken, beef or pork have about 30 grams. Dr. Young does not recommend that any of his patients take more than 100 grams of protein a day. • Get a good night’s sleep, exercise, and manage your stress.  Yes, some doctors’ orders never change. Rest, exercise and finding effective, healthy ways to cope with stress are simple ways to pamper your cells. “One of the many cellular benefits of exercise is that it increases the oxygen in our bloodstream. Every cell in our body requires oxygen, so consider exercise as another means of feeding your cells.” It’s also important to manage stress during the holidays. With unchecked stress, our body releases large amounts of cortisol, which, among other things, suppresses the immune system. “Take time out to listen to music or take a walk in the woods,” he says. “It feels good — and it’s good for you!” n NOVEMBER 6, 2014
