Diavolo delivers DANCE excitement at IRVINE BARCLAY By Lydia E. Ringwald With high-flying energy, Diavolo redefines the boundaries of gravity and creates unanticipated visual wonders. Diavolo’s work takes movement and athletics and creates surreal tableaux on a grand scale. ‘Passengers’ is a mind trip. It is a piece about people caught in the wild loop of their shifting states of mind. Their unrelenting search for identity and self is a powerful reminder that we are merely Passengers on this vehicle called Life. Inspired by Sebastian Junger’s novel, Tribe, and the vital stories of the veterans in our own community, ‘The Veteran’s Project’ is a fourmonth workshop that uses movement as medicine to help heal and connect our American heroes. The program culminates in a presentation that reflects on themes such as inner strength, renewal, resilience and the meaning of Home. DIAVOLO | Architecture in Motion® uses dance to explore the relationship between the human body and its architectural environment. Artistic Director Jacques Heim steers DIAVOLO’s diverse team of dancers, designers, choreographers and engineers to create visceral and aweinspiring works that reveal how we are affected emotionally, physically and socially by the spaces we inhabit. Meticulously designed bespoke architectural structures serve as the central inspiration for each work, activated by the stylistically varied and intensely physical choreography which has become the hallmark of this truly original company throughout its rich 25 year history. UCI Claire Trevor School of the Arts presents ‘Dance Visions’ February 22-24 at Irvine Barclay Theater with Chad Michael Hall and Tong Wang as Artistic Directors. Dance Visions 2018, the Department of Dance at UC Irvine’s Claire Trevor School of the Arts prime annual production, is ready to thrill audiences with original choreography from the illustrious dance faculty including Lar Lubovitch, Molly Lynch, Donald McKayle and Lisa Naugle, with video by John Crawford. Their vibrant and provocative compositions will feature graduate and undergraduate dance students under the direction of artistic directors Chad Michael Hall and Tong Wang. The showcase also includes the UCI Symphony Orchestra, a premier ensemble from the Department of Music, with selections conducted my Maestro Stephen Tucker. Aspen Santa Fe Ballet performs on April 5, 2018 in a world premiere of new work by renowned choreographer Jorma Elo and live music with Joyce Yang at the piano. Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s bold vision – top global choreographers, distinctive groundbreaking works, and virtuoso Page 4
dancers – has fostered a jewel of a dance company in the American West. Praised by the Los Angeles Times for her “compelling virtuosity,” pianist Joyce Yang has been captivating audiences all over the world with her lyricism and interpretive sensitivity. The evening program also includes Jirí Kylián’s Return to a Strange Land and Nicolo Fonte’s Where We Left Off. Irvine Barclay Theater presents Dance Theater of Harlem on April 18. Founded by Arthur Mitchell and the late Karel Shook in the basement of a church in 1969, Dance Theatre of Harlem has been making a difference in the world for half a century. The company’s unprecedented success, as a racially diverse company, school and source of arts education was built on creating innovative and bold new forms of artistic expression. Now under the artistic direction of Virginia Johnson, the company continues to inspire and uplift through the power of art. Renowned for inspired composition, the company presents an inventive repertoire of groundbreaking and nuanced choreography. Gold Seat purchase includes a post-performance reception with the artist(s). Since opening its doors in 1990, Irvine Barclay Theatre has emerged as one of California’s most imaginative performing arts showcases. A unique collaborative venture among the City of Irvine, the University of California, Irvine, and the private sector, the theatre has a reputation for wideranging programming in the fields of contemporary dance, music, and theater arts. Performances take place in the 750-seat “jewel box” theatre which is renowned for its intimate atmosphere and superb acoustics. Irvine Barclay Theatre is an independent non-profit organization established as an innovative publicprivate partnership with the vision of creating a unique performing arts venue. The private sector, the City of Irvine and the University of California, Irvine - combined funding and land to achieve a long-standing mutual goal. The partners created Irvine Barclay Theatre to showcase top quality artists, to provide a superior facility for local and regional arts groups, and to enhance UCI’s educational mission, particularly the programs generated by its School of the Arts. The theatre building is named for Mr. Richard Barclay, an area philanthropist, who provided the leading gift for the theatre’s construction. The theatre auditorium is named for Dr. George and Arlene Cheng, also area philanthropists. Irvine Barclay Theatre has gained a national reputation for its great acoustics, intimate feel, and the high quality of its production facilities. Among artists, it is a venue of

choice when performing in southern California. During the 1970’s, a group of supporters, guided by their conviction that the arts are the “soul” of a city, advocated the building of a community-based performing arts facility. After years of discussion, meetings, committee research and community activism, there emerged a unique public-private partnership comprised of leaders from the private sector and from the City of Irvine and the University of California, Irvine. The non-profit Irvine Barclay Theatre Operating Company was chartered in 1986 to further the design and construction goals and, upon opening, to operate the facility and its programming. The City contributed $11.3 million, mostly from voter-approved bond issues, to the $17.4 million project. The theatre’s board of trustees raised $4.3 million from private sources and the university provided the 2.3acre site as well as $1.8 million in construction funding. The Barclay, as it is commonly called, opened to the public on September 30, 1990, on time and on budget. The 50,000 square foot venue was designed by the San Francisco firm of Wurster, Bernardi and Emmons, which had been selected by competition. Noted architect Larry Cannon designed the building in a style sometimes referred to as “Bay Area modernism.” It is now valued in excess of $50 million while its design remains durably appealing. Now at our 25th anniversary, the 756-seat performing arts theatre has built a distinguished record of excellence, attracting audiences not just from Irvine, but from throughout
the southern California region. Its annual rosters of dance, theatre, music and spoken word are unique in Orange County for their diversity and, sometimes, adventurousness. Check out the exhibition catalog of our first 25 years. From its inception, the Barclay’s mission included serving the needs of local and regional cultural organizations as well as aiding UCI in achieving its educational mission. In the two decades since it opened, the theatre has become an important resource to dozens of community organizations, university programs, local arts groups and schools. The theatre has hosted as many as 215 public events in a single year. Nearly 2 million people have attended 3,600 events since opening. The Barclay specializes in presenting programs and providing facilities to groups reflecting the area’s increasingly diverse populations whose heritage may be Chinese, Korean, middle-Eastern, Hispanic, and Asian Indian among many others. The theatre also serves the community through its own education outreach programs, including school performances, lecturedemonstrations and, in partnership with the Orange County Public Library, the bi-annual Adventures in Writing Short Story Contest for young authors. Irvine Barclay Theatre has been honored twice with Arts Orange County’s Outstanding Arts Organization, as well as with major grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, James Irvine Foundation, and William Randolph Hearst Foundation.

R e s o lv e t o g e t m o r e s h u t- e y e ? H e r e a r e 4 s l e e p ha c k s t o h e l p As the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, millions of people vow to eat better, work out more and lead a healthier life. But something is missing from this equation. While eating well and getting exercise are extremely important, too often people neglect the keystone of good health: sleep. While few people like daily workout routines or kale salad, most everyone loves sleep. And a good night’s sleep loves you, too: It boosts mental and physical well-being. With today’s stressful, highly caffeinated, screen-addicted lifestyles, millions of Americans do not get enough sleep. There are many reasons for this. A look at the 2017 Sleep in Review study by Sleep Number suggests that sleeping habits are highly individualized and need to be addressed on a case-by-case basis. A look at the numbers This year, more than 30 percent of Americans reported they slept worse than in 2016. A big culprit here is television. Nearly half of all respondents said that television often cuts into their sleep. In fact, 24 percent of millennials and 14 percent of all Americans report that binge watching before bed prevents them from getting enough rest. Nearly 70 percent say worry and responsibility are preventing them from getting the sleep they need. A racing mind keeps many Americans from getting rest, particularly among Gen Xers. Worries about taking care of others - aging parents or young children - can often lead to neglecting yourself. However, putting your own self-care first is often the best way to care for others. Those who sleep well say they
have a healthy balance of taking time for themselves and helping others that need them (39 percent versus 26 percent). Of course, if you’re having difficulty sleeping, this might sound easier said than done. How do you get there? How do you achieve that wonderful, restorative eight hours of sleep? There’s not one right way to do this, but according to the survey, there are several habits good sleepers have: * Ditch the device: Forty-six percent of self-described “good sleepers” never or rarely bring a device to bed. * Have a laugh: Those who sleep well are more likely to watch a comedy before going to sleep. * Keep it cool: Forty-five percent say that cooling down the bedroom temperature is the No. 1 thing they do to improve sleep. * Stay tidy: Those who make their bed every morning are less likely to struggle with sleep. A good night’s sleep can mean the difference between having a wonderful or a horrible day. More and more Americans are realizing this. Over half (54 percent) of those
surveyed are making “improving the quality of their sleep” one of their New Year’s resolutions, which is up 30 percentage points from 2014. An individualized path to better sleep In the past five years, millions of people have embraced software and technology that tracks their eating and exercise habits. These small devices give an individualized report that allows people to monitor their activity and adjust in a way that promotes good habits and health. Similarly, Sleep Number’s SleepIQ technology(R) tracks your sleeping habits, and in the morning, it gives you a personalized report on how you slept, offering insights on how you might improve your sleeping habits. Sleep is so individualized, and there’s no one right way to do it. The more you know about how you’re sleeping, the more you can learn what adjustments you should make to sleep better.

4 tips when considering supplements
Whether you’re looking for an extra competitive edge or trying to increase the effectiveness of your daily workout, you have most likely considered adding nutritional supplements to your fitness routine. Diet, exercise and everyday lifestyle are all factors that can help determine the right supplements for you. “It’s not uncommon for people who’ve never tried nutritional supplements to have some misconceptions about them,” says Don Saladino, a fitness and nutrition expert who trains celebrities and is a brand advocate for Garden of Life SPORT. “People may think supplementation is only for die-hard athletes, but every human being is an athlete. We do things each day like move, carry items and change direction. Carrying a baby, hauling groceries or running across the street - these are the exact same patterns an athlete needs to perform, which is why it’s important to learn about all the options available and how they can help.” As you’re considering nutritional supplements, keep these points in mind: * Power up with protein - Adding a protein-rich sports supplement to your diet provides many benefits. Protein fuels workouts, aids in muscle recovery after exercise and extends energy throughout the day.
Supplements can provide needed nutrients that are difficult to get through diet alone. Adding protein powder into a smoothie or snacking on a protein bar can help incorporate necessary nutrients like antioxidants into your daily diet. * Match your supplement to your objective - An exercise regimen can greatly benefit from a system of supplementation. Various nutrientrich supplements are designed to be taken before you exercise, and others following exercise. For example, pre-workout supplements such as Garden of Life SPORT Energy + Focus incorporate ingredients intended to improve focus, such as organic coffeeberry, and optimize energy production, such as B12. Post-exercise supplements such as SPORT Organic Plant-Based Recovery can help your body recover faster from the rigors of vigorous exercise. * Pick your best protein - Protein is a key component of sports nutrition, since it helps build muscle mass and supports muscle recovery postworkout. When a supplement contains all nine of the essential amino acids that the body can’t produce on its own, it contains “complete proteins.” You can get these essential amino acids from different protein sources, such as plant-based protein or whey protein. Plant-based proteins are
great for people following a vegetarian or vegan diet, and they are especially effective at enhancing post-workout recovery. Whey protein is designed to refuel and repair muscles and can help maximize muscle growth when supplementing with regular exercise. * Keep it clean - It’s important to be aware of what’s in your supplement. Just as you choose organic foods and beverages for their ingredient transparency, you wouldn’t want a nutritional supplement that’s made up of chemicals. Look for a truly clean sports nutrition system that’s designated with the Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified seals, as well as by Informed-

Top 4 nutrition predictions in the New Year
Several food and nutrition trends were in the spotlight this year, including the continued rise of plant-based diets, non-dairy ice creams and superfoods that are blasts from the past - legumes, apples and cabbage. It can be easy to experience nutrition whiplash in the New Year, but don’t be a victim. Get a jump-start on understanding the top nutrition trends that will impact quality of life and make it easier to add important vitamins and nutrients to the body. “The start of a fresh year always ushers in new opportunities to make one’s health better,” said Elizabeth Somer, MA, RD and author of “Eat Your Way to Sexy.” “Study after study consistently finds that most Americans don’t meet even minimum standards of a balanced diet, so it’s important to be aware of advances in nutrition, so you can optimize your health all year long.” There are four key nutrition predictions that will top 2018.
No. 1 - Personalized nutrition A one-size-fits-all approach that can be applied to vitamins, minerals, omega-3s and other essential nutrients doesn’t align with what research reveals about individual nutrient needs. Many factors tweak the basic recommendations, including age, gender, health status, medication use, stress level, sleep habits, exercise routines and more. For example, when the body is exposed to ultra violet (UV) light, it manufactures vitamin D; however, as we age, the body becomes less and less efficient at making vitamin D. This is when dietary and supplement sources become increasingly more important while the needs for the vitamin increase. It is no wonder there will be a growing trend and demand for personalized nutrition recommendations in 2018. Nutrition innovators - like www.vitaminpacks. com - are already responding by developing comprehensive nutritional assessments to curate unique combinations of vitamins and nutrients designed specifically to the individual consumer. No. 2 - Awareness of drug nutrient interactions According to a recent paper published
in the European Journal of Nutrition, vitamins and other nutrients play a crucial role in metabolism - the process in the body that supports overall health. How vitamins and phytonutrients interact with prescription medications can impact metabolism. In one example, antacid medications can interfere with vitamin B12 and calcium absorption, so requirements for these and other nutrients may increase, yet people don’t make the adjustment in their supplement plans. Therefore, it is important to consult a health care practitioner before adding a dietary supplement, so prescription medications and vitamin supplements can live in harmony. No. 3 - Go with your gut Probiotics are live bacteria that are good for health, especially the digestive system. It may be easy to think of bacteria as something that causes diseases, but the body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are the “good” or “helpful” bacteria because they have been known for years to help keep the gut healthy. What’s more, research has shown that the benefits of probiotics may span more than the gut, including the circulatory, hormonal and nervous systems. Probiotics are naturally
found in the body to varying degrees, and there are high levels of probiotics in some foods and supplements. Encouraging the growth of probiotic bacteria is important in maintaining an effective intestinal barrier, enhancing nutrient absorption and blocking toxins and pathogens. A focus on gut health and spotlighting food and dietary supplements that support a healthy belly will top 2018 nutrition trends. No. 4 - Vitamin K2 Don’t confuse this K2 with the mountain in the Himalayas. Vitamin K2 is an overlooked vitamin that helps control calcium movement in the body and supports healthy arteries and bone health. It is found at sub-optimal levels in the traditional diet, but can be found at high levels in fermented foods, like sauerkraut and the Korean dish kimchi. Vitamin K2 will no longer be overlooked in 2018. Ask a health care practitioner about adding this important vitamin to the diet, especially if fermented foods aren’t served regularly for dinner. It doesn’t take a crystal ball to predict what will be the hottest nutrition trends in 2018; it only requires a look at the latest nutrition research and connecting with a health care provider or registered dietitian. - (BPT)
Arts and crafts go online While it is hard for some to on an arts and crafts project found
imagine a day without social media, smartphones and Wi-Fi, these were not available a mere 20 years ago. Technology has revolutionized the way we order food, purchase clothes and read books. “Technology used to be considered a separate entity from arts and crafts,” said Stephanie Leichtweis, CEO of Fibre-Craft, a leader in creative activities. “We believe it is vital to incorporate these together, and are working to meld tech innovations with artistic expression to provide a nuanced version of online and offline activities.” Fibre-Craft has outlined some ways that classic crafts have been redefined by technology: Design upgraded Art projects used to be inspired by books, classes and our own imagination. Our world dictated our crafts of necessity and for fun. With social media, inspiration and creation are driven by many platforms. “DIY and crafts” is one of the top three most-pinned and most-browsed categories on Pinterest, one of the leading platforms for inspiration, along with YouTube. A recent survey found that nearly 40 percent of adults who worked
inspiration on YouTube, and one in three turned to Pinterest. And when complete, individuals can also share their own finished pieces to inspire others. Coloring redefined The first coloring book was published in the 1880s. It is a great activity for children, as it can provide hours of entertainment and is easy to take on the go. Just as painting by numbers updated a classic art form in the 1950s, newer technologies are giving coloring and painting a 21stcentury twist. One new art/tech hybrid is DabitZ. DabitZ is inspired by the painting technique called Pointillism, so users don’t need to be talented artists. Starter sets include templates called DabDesignZ, and a free app can transform any picture into a template design. Simply take a photo, create a template, print it and dab it up, connecting technology to offline play and the world around us. Photography update Photographs help keep memories alive long after the moment has passed. Camera phones have reinvented how photographs are taken, shared and viewed. No longer do you have to wait to return from an
adventure to share your activities you can post on social media in the moment. And with high-quality lenses on phones and filters on apps, you can create images worth 1,000 words - and likes. “Smartphones have made photographers out of all of us, and opened a range of possibilities,” Leichtweis said. Handmade 2.0 Homemade gifts are one of the most treasured items to receive from
a loved one, especially from a child. Handmade items are increasingly trendy in home décor, fashion and foodstuffs. Those with special talents can capitalize on their craft, thanks to online stores and marketplaces. This growing trend is a wonderful way to support artisans and causes at home or a world away. With technology, how we create arts and crafts will continue to change. To learn more, visit www.DabitZart. com. - (BPT)

Rep. Mimi Walters Cosponsors Bill to Improve Sober Living Facilities and Protect Those Suffering from Addiction Congresswoman Mimi Walters (R-California) released the following statement regarding H.R. 4684, the Access to Quality Sober Living Act. Rep. Walters is an original cosponsor of this bill, which Rep. Judy Chu (D-California) introduced yesterday. The Access to Quality Sober Living Act would require the Department of Health and Human Services to establish best practices for operating recovery residences, or sober living facilities, to ensure patients receive high quality care. This legislation follows a December 12th Energy & Commerce Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee hearing on patient brokering and other scams that plague sober living facilities and harm those in need of help. At the hearing, Rep. Walters questioned the California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals about oversight of these facilities. Said Rep. Walters, “Opioid abuse is an epidemic in Orange County as addiction statistics continue to increase at an alarming rate. Since 2005, opioid-related emergency room Page 8
visits are up by 140%. Drug overdose deaths due to accidental prescription drug overdoses rose 88% between 2000 and 2015. In 2015 alone, 1.7 million opioid prescriptions, totaling 122 million pills, were dispensed in Orange County. “The rapid rise in addiction has drawn attention to recovery housing centers in our community and the methods they use to help patients achieve sobriety, and rebuild their lives. Unfortunately, many sober living facilities have engaged in fraudulent behavior and unethical practices that hurt the people that need help the most. “The Access to Quality Sober Living Act will develop best practices for recovery facilities to ensure patients receive quality care that puts them on the road to recovery. I appreciate my colleagues joining together to address important issue. I will continue to work to end this growing epidemic.” Walters represents California’s 45th District and serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee

Senior Care Hero Awards SeniorServ raises $260,000 at black tie affair SeniorServ honored the county’s unsung senior care heroes at their 7th Annual Senior Care Hero Awards at the City National Grove of Anaheim. The event theme 50 Years of Dedication and Innovation celebrated SeniorServ’s 50th year of service in 2017. Considered the leading senior care recognition program in the county, the event recognized 80 outstanding senior care industry and community advocates, while serving as the sole fundraiser for SeniorServ, Orange County’s largest nonprofit senior nutrition Meals on Wheels provider. Organizers estimate event revenue at $260,000 and over 600 guests attended the black tie affair. Among the honorees recognized were Humanitarian Awardee, Lynn Daucher, past Director of California Department of Aging; Innovator Awardees Loren Shook, President, CEO, COB at Silverado Senior Living and W. Major Chance (in memoriam), Founder and Former Executive Chairman of ActivCare Living. People’s Choice Hero honorees were Family Member Hero, Carol Driscoll, Volunteer Hero, Barbara Myers and Veteran Hero, Leon Anstead. Professional category recipients were Outstanding Caregiver, Helena Bor, LVN, RCFE; Outstanding Social Worker, Dereck Cretz; Outstanding Nurse, Marylyn Hagerty, PhD, FNP BC; Outstanding Physician, John Geiss, DO; Outstanding Executive Director, Sonia Garcia-Francia, MA, RCFE and Outstanding Senior Care Professional, Jennifer Funez, MSGC with Alzheimer’s Orange County. SeniorServ’s CEO Holly Hagler’s moving presentation included a description of outstanding caregiver nominee Melanie Finder who attended the Jason Aldean concert in Las Vegas who “redefined the word ‘hero’ – normal people helping others regardless of the cost.” Holly described the situations of several homebound seniors and pending budget cuts to SeniorServ’s critical services to seniors – such as providing 900 Meals on Wheels each year. She said, “while the senior population is booming, fewer foundations are offering safety net services and less than 2% of philanthropy in the U.S. goes to senior programs. In fact, SeniorServ is facing a $220,000 shortfall this year.” Auctioneer Jim Nye then led a rousing live auction and fund-a-need campaign that generated $56,000 for the nonprofit. John Bennett, Chief Administrative Officer at St. Joseph Healthcare served as honorary event chair, event vice-chair was Di Patterson, senior advocate, gerontologist and Founder and CEO of Success in Aging Centers and Jacqueline Dupont, gerontologist and founder and CEO of Dupont Residential Care, Inc. and Assured In-Home Care, Inc., was the auction chair. The black-tie affair included an expansive silent auction, awards ceremony, dinner and live entertainment throughout the evening by The Dave Stephens Band. The largest Meals on Wheels and nonprofit senior nutrition and supportive service provider in Orange County, SeniorServ nourishes the wellness, purpose, and dignity of seniors and their families in the community. Incorporated in 1967, Feedback Foundation merged with Senior Meals and Services in 2006 to create a new agency, Community SeniorServ dba SeniorServ, with greater capacity, energy, resources, and vision for the sole purpose of meeting the increasingly diverse needs of the elderly population.

Elks Lodge Member Holiday Party Story and photos by Mike Klinger As tradition has it, the Mission Viejo Saddleback Valley Elks celebrated their annual lodge Christmas Party affectionately known as the Tom & Jerry Party. Tom & Jerry? Yes, an eggnog drink doused with “spices” and can be served cold or hot. The Sunday event kicked-off with light holiday music by DJ Jim Mouth as everyone mingled, stopped by the Tom & Jerry booth then began their buffet trek as everyone piled their plates high with entrees and goodies, all donated by the guests. PER Gloria LeCouvre organized a raffled of the beautiful Poinsettia center pieces, Jim Mouth was a human light-pole singing Frank Sinatra then took a cruise down Whittier Blvd with Donna “Gone” Wild in their Low-Ride-Der.
Special thanks to PER Dave McLeod, Trustee Basia Bills, Lodge Secretary Laura Lumley, First Lady Vicky Long and Cookie Akesson for the event set-up and supporting the guests. Very fun afternoon all topped off with Karaoke to finish the evening. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

FAMILY FEATURES
hen it comes to creating a healthy lifestyle, some recommendations are fairly simple, such as exercising regularly and eating right. Many people, however, don’t know how much exercise they should get or which foods are the best choices. They also may not realize there are other ways to take care of their bodies and minds to promote better overall health. Start on the path to healthier living with these tips from the wellness experts at Walgreens.
Exercise regularly. The American Heart Association recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity at least five days a week, and that’s because an active lifestyle can help you achieve far more than muscle mass or weight loss. Regular exercise can also contribute to mental well-being, and even something as simple as a walking break or two at work can provide health benefits.
Eat well. The keys to a healthy diet are eating the right amount of calories for your activity level and eating a wide range of foods to ensure that you’re receiving all the nutrients your body needs. By prioritizing great taste and ingredient guidelines, such as minimizing hydrogenated oils, trans fats and artificial ingredients, Walgreens Nice! products help take the guesswork out of making healthier choices. In an effort to simplify healthy living, the line’s packaging, products and ingredient standards were updated, and offerings now include organic and gluten-free options in addition to traditional baking goods and other general grocery items.
Get enough sleep. Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being, and can help improve your mental health, physical health and quality of life. The National Sleep Foundation recommends 7-9 hours per night for adults and 9-11 hours for school-aged children. If you find sleep elusive, try implementing a bedtime routine to send signals to your body that it’s time to sleep, avoid screen time immediately before lights out and eliminate caffeine after lunch.
Manage stress. Between juggling a career, family and other commitments, it’s easy to find things to stress over. Practices such as meditation and yoga can help better manage stress. Setting aside time for a favorite hobby can also help relieve stress and focus on an activity you enjoy. Aside from mental and emotional impacts, stress can also impact your physical health, so it’s important to identify coping mechanisms that reduce overall stress.
Be social. Making time to socialize with friends and family is an important part of living a long and healthy life. Even if your schedule is packed, try to block out time at least once a week to spend with family and friends.
Break bad habits. Whatever their nature, work to break bad habits by first acknowledging the problem then working to replace the negativity with alternatives that make a more positive impact on your life. Even a negative attitude can bring you down. To discover more ways to make healthy lifestyle choices, visit walgreens.com/nice.
MAKE BETTER FOOD CHOICES Maintaining a healthy diet can be easier than you think if you make your eating habits a priority and know how to make smart food choices. For the best results, choose foods from all five major food groups with help from these tips:
Fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are naturally low in fat and contain necessary fiber, vitamins and minerals. Rather than serving fruits with cream cheese or sugary sauces, opt for nut butters or Nice! organic honey, and toss raw, steamed, boiled or baked vegetables in olive oil, salt and pepper instead of buttery sauces.
Protein Select low-fat, lean cuts of meat and season them with herbs, spices and low-sodium marinades. Baking, broiling, grilling and roasting are the healthiest preparation methods. Try swapping ground beef for a lean or extra-lean cut, or opt for ground chicken or turkey instead. Non-meat protein options
Page 16
such as dry beans, peas and lentils can even be swapped for meat in recipes such as lasagna or chili.
Dairy Choose skim or non-dairy milk, like soy, rice or almond milk, and use low-fat or part-skim cheeses in recipes. Nonfat or Greek yogurt can replace sour cream in many recipes and options like sherbet and soft-serve frozen yogurt are lower in fat than ice cream.
Grains Choose products that list whole grains as the first ingredient, as they are low in fat and high in fiber. Some easy swaps include

whole-grain flour, pasta and rice, as well as bypassing doughnuts and pastries for English muffins or bagels and opting for unsalted pretzels instead of potato chips. Add some variety with tasty organic items such as Nice! flavored popcorns and tortilla chips.
Fats, oils and sweets Too many high-fat foods can add excess calories to your diet, which can lead to weight gain and obesity, or increase your risk for certain health issues.
