Tips for Staying Healthy Even With a Busy Schedule Life can sometimes feel a little too jam-packed with work, errands, carpools, cooking dinner and more. When that happens, healthy habits often fall by the wayside in favor of convenience. Fast food can replace home cooked meals and exercise makes way for the television. Registered dietitians and authors Lyssie Lakatos and Tammy Lakatos Shames, who are also known as “The Nutrition Twins,” have advice for feeling good and staying healthy despite a busy schedule. Drink up: People often mistake thirst for hunger, prompting them to overeat. Keep seltzer, iced green tea or water with lime in the fridge. The next time you want a nosh between meals, drink a glass first and see what happens. Sneak in exercise: If it feels like too much of a task to get to the gym each day, sneak in exercise wherever you can. Take the stairs instead of the elevator at work or push your kids on the swings for an arm workout. Even if you walk around the neighborhood for 15 minutes, it counts. Just get moving! Simplify, simplify, simplify: Mornings tend to be hectic, so The Nutrition Twins get excited when they can eliminate something from their routine. That’s why they love
Vitamints. They’re a vitamin and mint in one that can be taken anytime, anywhere even without food or water; it’s easy to just pop them in your bag or car and go. The twins like the Immune, Energy and Multi for Women varieties. For more information, visit www.Vitamints.com. Bite into some energy: You might think a sugary candy bar from the office vending machine will perk you up, but a healthy, balanced snack will
keep you on your toes longer. Make sure your snack has a quality, highfiber carbohydrate, like fresh fruit, oatmeal or whole-grain crispbread, for long lasting energy and a lean protein, such as a hardboiled egg or Greek yogurt, to help you feel satisfied. The two will work together to keep your energy up and your desire to visit the snack machine down. Sleep tight: Sleep deprivation slows your metabolism down and negatively
affects your immune system. When you’re busy that’s the last thing you need. Set yourself a bedtime that’s eight hours before you have to wake up and start getting ready for bed 30 minutes prior to that. The last step is tough, but don’t bring your phone or computer to bed with you. Instead, pick up a book to help you relax and drift off to sleep. Photo courtesy of Getty Images
Festival Ballet Theatre presents the greatest romantic story ballet, Giselle! Festival Ballet Theatre of Orange County announced that renowned guest artists will perform in March production at the Irvine Barclay Theatre. Gillian Murphy and Cory Stearns, principal dancers with American Ballet Theatre will portray Giselle and her beloved Albrecht in Festival Ballet Theatre’s production. Giselle March 22-23, 2014 Festival Ballet Theatre will present Giselle, one of the oldest and most romantic of the classical ballets, featuring ballet superstars, Gillian Murphy and Cory Stearns. This production follows Festival Ballet’s immensely popular Nutcracker, which featured sold-out audiences throughout its 16-show run at the Irvine Barclay Theatre. Hauntingly ethereal and poetic, Giselle is the spectacular story of love, trust and forgiveness. Giselle, a beautiful peasant girl, falls deeply in love, only to discover betrayal and loss. The role is considered one of the most beautiful and challenging in all of ballet, and Murphy is exceptionally suited for the lead role. She recently performed Giselle in the New Zealand Ballet live, on stage and in a beautiful film production of the story. “Gillian Murphy gave a staggering performance as the doomed young woman, providing an enchanting and Page 2
intelligent display and conveying a real sense of character through gesture, dance and acting,” says dance critic John Daly-Peoples of The National Business Review. A glimpse of the film can be found at http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=P9AEZkXnjwY. Giselle was originally presented in 1842 in Paris, scored by Adolphe Adam and choreographed by Jules Perrot and Jean Coralli. The ballet is famous for its beauty, and the corps scenes portraying the Willis are both exquisite and haunting. In Giselle, the dancers must master the technical and expressive elements of the choreography, from joy to despair, from naïve and carefree to facing harsh realities…discovering that life has no purpose without love. Appearing in the lead roles with Festival Ballet are guest artists of the highest caliber, along with FBT’s highly accomplished company dancers. Gillian Murphy, a principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre (ABT), is one of America’s most treasured ballet stars. Her repertoire with ABT includes the most challenging roles in dance, including Polyhymnia in Apollo, Nikiya and Gamzatti in La Bayadère, the Ballerina in The Bright Stream, Cinderella in Cinderella, Swanilda inCoppélia, Medora and Gulnare in Le Corsaire, Kitri in Don

Golden Globes : What You Don’t Know The Golden Globes Have Some Very Interesting Facts Behind the Fun and Fancy Facade The Golden Globe awards are akin to the Oscars; fancy dress, celebrity interviews, and beautiful soirees after the ceremony. It’s a night of magic that all of Hollywood embraces and fans flock to either at the red-carpet or in front of their television. Gift bags and designer dresses abound for Tinsel-town’s elite. Who’s won the most Globes? One of the world’s most enigmatic actors, Jack Nicholson, has won six Golden Globes. Not surprising, huh?
The mesmerizing film, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” garnered him a Best Actor award as well as five other awards for the cast and director. Best Actor awards for, “The Pledge” and “As Good as it Gets” were amongst others that now line his mantle. Two words: Ricky Gervais Gervais hosted the Globes in 2010 and again in 2011 despite the fact that his jokes fell a bit flat and outrage ensued on his first attempt. The third run didn’t make him any more popular with actors who weren’t fond of plastic-surgery remarks. The English funny-man who created the original television series, “The Office” seems to be shunning the idea of hosting nowadays. Most nominations Those nods would belong to Jack Lemmon with the illustrious Meryl Streep in a close second; 22 and 19 per each, to be exact. Their accolades are not surprising with the amount
of impressive work that each have accumulated. Lemmon’s work in, “Some Like it Hot” and Streep’s roles in films such as, “Silkwood” cement them as icons of the Globes. Most nominations in one year belong to Jamie Foxx Yes, really. His work has spanned from impressive silliness in the variety comedy show, “In Living Color” to films such as, “Ray” and “Redemption”. 2005 was his year to garner recognition for switching gears into becoming one of the most respected ac tors of our generation. Three nods is quite a feat for someone who got his start as a comedian. After parties The after parties are loved by each and every celeb. Why? They are able to finally have a drink and relax after what to them is work. There is a reason why you see photos of them in different outfits after the Globes; we get to see them as real people. It’s also when journalists get the juiciest of quotes from our favorite actors.
The Golden Globes is a more relaxed cousin of the Oscar awards. Film buffs and critics as well as the public are excited to see the actors we admire receive accolades for work that has made us laugh, cry, and think.

Lower Your Cholesterol with Easy Lifestyle Changes Maintaining a healthy cholesterol level is an important part of good health. While many Americans try to keep their cholesterol in check, some take medication to improve it. According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly one in four American adults currently take statin medications to help reduce their cholesterol levels. David Grotto, registered dietitian and best-selling author of “The Best Things You Can Eat,” has shared a few tips for those who need advice on how to support their overall health, including ways to help lower cholesterol naturally*. Eat a healthy diet Many people may believe that once they are taking a statin medication, they can resume their regular eating habits. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. To achieve healthy cholesterol levels, it’s important to eat wholesome foods rich in essential nutrients that will help nourish your body, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. “Eliminate trans fat, and reduce saturated fat sources in your kitchen and your diet,” said Grotto. “When cooking, opt for canola and olive oil. In general, add foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids to your diet, as this ‘good’ fat can help lower your ‘bad,’ or LDL
cholesterol levels.” The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) also recommends 2,000 milligrams of plant sterols and stanols as part of a therapeutic diet to help lower cholesterol*. Plant sterols and stanols are naturally present in small quantities of vegetable oils, nuts, legumes and whole grains; however, most people only consume about 200 milligrams through their regular diet. Take quality supplements There are dietary supplements that may help lower your cholesterol*. Grotto recommends looking for quality supplements from trusted brands verified by a credible thirdparty organization, such as the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). He has partnered with Nature Made®, the first national vitamin brand in the U.S. to earn United States Pharmacopeia (USP) verification on many of its products. “I always recommend Nature Made CholestOff® Plus* to my patients because CholestOff Plus is clinically proven to lower cholesterol in just six weeks and provides an additional 1,800 milligrams of plant sterols and stanols to help meet the NCEP recommendation for cholesterol reduction. Nature Made is also the number one recommended brand among pharmacists in eight
key product categories† including Cholesterol Management- Natural,” said Grotto. Stick to your prescription regimen and talk to your doctor Statin medications work on an ongoing basis, so make sure you stick to the prescribed dosage. Speak with your health care provider or pharmacist to ensure your medications and supplements can be taken together. In addition, make sure to check in with your doctor as dosage adjustments may be required over time. For more information on Nature Made CholestOff Plus, visit www. naturemade.com and for more heart healthy tips from Grotto, visit www.
davidgrotto.com. *Products containing at least 400 mg per serving of plant sterols and stanols, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily intake of at least 800 mg as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of Nature Made CholestOff® supplies 900 mg of plant sterols and stanols per serving for a daily intake of 1800 mg. †Based on US News & World Report - Pharmacy Times Survey for Letter Vitamins, Omega-3/Fish Oil, Coenzyme Q10, Flax Seed Oil, Herbal supplements, Cholesterol Management-Natural, Garlic (tie) and Diabetic Multivitamins (tie).

10 tips for making a small bathroom feel larger Is your tiny bathroom cramping your functionality and style, leaving you longing for the enormous bathrooms gracing the pages of design magazines? Even if your bathroom is a fraction of the size, all it takes is some design savvy to make the most of the space you have. Consider these 10 smart tips that will help your bathroom look, feel and function like those larger contenders. 1. Get creative with corners Space is at a premium in small bathrooms, so it’s important to maximize every inch. Corners, for example, provide extra space for shelving, storage units and even hooks.

A sleek, wall-mounted model, like Kohler’s Veil wall-hung toilet, reclaims up to 12 precious inches of floor space. Concealed mounting hardware provides a seamless look that is comfortable and makes the toilet easy to clean. 3. Let solid colors shine Busy patterns have a shrinking effect and make small bathrooms seem even smaller. Conversely, light natural hues make a space feel more open. If you’re itching to get creative with design, experiment with textures but keep overpowering patterns to a minimum. 4. Maximize your bathtub A bathtub takes up a significant portion of the room, but modern, compact options with curved basins, can make the tub feel larger when in use, all while conserving space. 5. Select a smaller faucet A faucet is jewelry for the bathroom. And just as accessories can overpower an outfit, a big bulky faucet isn’t flattering in a small bath. Singlehandle designs conserve counter space, while a wall-mount installation frees it up all together and can create quite the wow-factor, if the budget can

As awareness of gluten-free diets continues to grow, more people are searching for ways to make their menus delicious, creative and varied while still staying gluten-free. In the past, forgoing gluten was challenging at best and frustrating at worst, due to a lack of available ingredients and products. But that was then. Now, whether it’s gluten intolerance or a goal of healthier eating that drives your meal plans, you can indulge and enjoy great meals from breakfast to dinner (and everything in between). The expanding availability of gluten-free substitutes for favorites like tortillas, breads and pastas means that you don’t need to give up the dishes you love. For truly healthy options, it’s important to look for gluten-free products with shorter ingredient lists filled with familiar items. Get your gluten-free menu started with these tips for meals throughout the day. Packed with flavor, nutrition and great ingredients, they’ll keep the whole family happy. Breakfast * Breakfast burrito bar - Get the day off to a spicy start with delicious breakfast burritos. Make it an interactive morning event on the weekend with a burrito bar. Set out an array of gluten-free ingredients, like scrambled eggs, beans, vegetables and cheese, for your family to mix and match. Fold it all up in black rice tortillas made by Food For Life, which are highly nutritious - black rice boasts antioxidant levels on par with “superfruits” like acai and blackberries. * Dressed-up English muffins - Crispy outside, fluffy inside and
topped with delicious, nutritious goodies - what could be a better way to start the day? Try topping yours with mashed avocado that’s been whisked with crushed chili, a splash of lime juice and a pinch of salt. Or, if you like something sweeter, try glutenfree almond butter with raspberries, blackberries or a dash of cinnamon sugar. Gluten-free English muffins are available from Food For Life. Lunch * Standout sandwiches - Go beyond the basics for your midday meal. Using gluten-free bread, you can create gourmet sandwiches that would cost far more in a restaurant. Rethink tuna salad by using Dijon mustard instead of mayo, and adding capers, diced sundried tomatoes and preserved lemon. Or, go for a veggie extravaganza with Portobello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, crunchy sprouts and hummus. * Seasoned quesadillas - Add a little something extra to your classic quesadilla, that well-loved snack of melted cheese between two glutenfree tortillas. Try adding a variety of cheeses and boosting the flavor with herbs and spice mixes. Dinner
* A new take on pizza - Everyone loves pizza for dinner, especially when they can make it their own. Using gluten-free tortillas, the whole family can create personalized minipizzas with thin, crunchy crusts. Simply assemble the toppings of choice and either grill or toast in the oven. For busy nights, it’s a meal that’s quick, easy and guaranteed to please. * Enchiladas -This classic Mexican dish is great for crowds, so if you’re welcoming friends, add it to your menu. Black rice tortillas will add eyecatching color and lots of nutrition, without bringing gluten to the table. Fill the enchiladas with the meat of your choice (such as shredded chicken or beef) as well as rice, beans and grilled onions and peppers. Top with a spiced sauce of roasted tomatoes, as well as Mexican cheese like cotija or chihuahua, and bake. Today, gluten-free diets can be every bit as delicious and rich with nutrition - and maybe more so - than other diets. Celebrate the possibilities and find creativeness in your glutenfree kitchen.

local dentist michael tessier reveals new technology about crown replacement “There’s big news about new modern methods of crown replacement,” says local dentist Michael Te s s i e r . Dr. Michael Tessier “Crowns restore a tooth to its original size, shape, and function. Crowns are used to replace very large fillings, or broken teeth. They’re made out of stainless steel or gold, or porcelain bonded to metal or, today, just porcelain, particularly in the front. They can be as short-lived as five years, or last as long as thirty. They need to be replaced both because decay eventually develops at the edges and works its way up and under the crown where it can’t be seen, even on x-ray, and because the porcelain fractures off the metal substrate to which the porcelain is baked at about 2500 degrees Fahrenheit. The decay results from temperature changes in the mouth such as a lunch of hot soup with iced tea, or the wet, acidic environment in which the crowned tooth finds itself.
Porcelain fractures result from the brittleness of the porcelain and the weak bond between the porcelain and the metal underneath, being pitted against some peoples surprisingly powerful chewing forces. New state-of-the-art crowns we use today contain no metal, and the porcelain is reinforced with glass fibers to increase its tensile strength. These new crowns are far superior in many ways to what was used in the past, not the least of which is their appearance. Another big difference with modern vs. older technology is that today, crowns are bonded onto teeth with a plastic bonding material, as opposed to cemented, which cement was water soluble- that’s why they re-decay at the edges. If you have any questions about old crowns or crown replacement, or any other aspects of today’s dental technology, please don’t hesitate to call my office at 949-459-7212. We’re located at Oso and Antonio Parkways 28562 Oso Pkwy Rancho Santa Margarita 92688.

LADERA RANCH MOM IS FINALIST COMPETING FOR $1 MILLION GRAND PRIZE IN DORITOS COMMERCIALS
Fans Around the World Can Now Vote For The Best Ad From January 4 through January 29
Photo by Andrew Abajian From Cornfest to corn chips: Before becoming a mom, Amber Gill,competed in numerous pageantry competitions, becoming the Cornfest Queen of her local corn festival in the little town of Oakley, California, and being named “Miss Greater East Bay” for the Bay Area region of California. She even qualified for the Miss California pageant in 2001. Now, the mother of two boys has decided to go behind the camera to pursue her dreams of making it in Hollywood her ultimate dream to create a family-friendly movie. The vocal teacher based in Orange County, California entered the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl contest as her first foray into writing and producing, and now she’s already on the cusp of breaking through. “Cowboy Kid” was shot over two days in a residential area in Orange County California. Her husband David says the dog was the highest-paid actor on the set. Amber Gill, A Ladera Ranch mom of two boys ages 3 and 1, sees plenty of sibling competition and rivalry in her house every day. She wanted to capture this universal theme for her hysterically funny 30-second Doritos commercial where a little boy dressed as a cowboy rides a family dog like a horse and lasso’s a bag of Doritos away from his older brother. Selected from thousands of submissions representing 30 countries around the world, the Doritos brand today announced the five finalists for the Doritos “Crash the Super Bowl” contest who are vying for a $1 million (U.S.) grand prize. Fans are now invited to vote for the best ad on www.doritos. com from January 4 through January 29. Ultimately, two ads will air in front of a global television audience during Super Bowl XLVIII ,one selected by the world’s votes and one by the Doritos brand team. The two lucky winners will have the opportunity to work with Marvel Studios on the set of “Marvel’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron,” and for the first time in Doritos Crash the Super Bowl history, the creator of the ad that receives the most fan votes will win a guaranteed $1 million in prize money. This marks the first year PepsiCo’s Doritos brand has opened its annual “Crash the Super Bowl” contest to fans from around the world where Doritos tortilla chips are sold. Visit www.doritos.com to view the ads and full contest rules. The five Crash the Super Bowl finalist ads are: Page 14
• “The Cowboy Kid” by Amber Gill, Ladera Ranch, California, United States • “Time Machine” by Ryan Andersen, Scottsdale, Arizona, United States • “Office Thief” by Chris Capel, Valencia, California, United States • “Breakroom Ostrich” by Eric Haviv, Atlanta, Georgia, United States • “Finger Cleaner” by Thomas Noakes, Sydney, Australia A qualified panel of judges, including executives from the Doritos brand, advertising professionals and the legendary Stan Lee of Pow! Entertainment , chairman emeritus of Marvel Comics and co-creator of such Super Heroes as Iron Man™, Spider-Man™ and others selected the five finalist ads. “As someone who has brought comic book characters to life for an entire career, I know what it takes to tell a great story,” Stan Lee said. “In just 30 seconds, these five finalists tell incredible stories , each with their own style ,and have left me truly blown away.” “When the Doritos brand first launched Crash the Super Bowl, the concept of user-generated content was brand new,” said Ram Krishnan, vice president of marketing, PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay division. “Since then, the amount of content created and shared on a global level has grown to an astounding rate. We were so excited by the global response to this year’s contest, and are thrilled to now spotlight two finalist ads on one of the world’s biggest advertising stages.” Each of the five Crash the Super Bowl finalists are invited to attend Super Bowl XLVIII in East Rutherford, N.J., and watch the game from a private luxury suite, where they will tune in to learn which two finalist spots will air. The creators of both winning ads will receive the opportunity to work on the set of “Marvel’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron” and the ad with the highest total number of votes will win its creator the $1 million grand prize. The runner-up will receive $50,000 (U.S.). The three finalists whose commercials don’t air during the broadcast will each win $25,000 (U.S.). The Super Bowl XLVIII broadcast is set for Sunday, Feb. 2, 2014, on FOX. As one of the leading snack brands in the world, Doritos has a presence in 46 countries and six continents.

Best Golden Globes Speeche s of All Time On January 12, 2014 the Golden Globe Awards were hosted for the 71st time. To commemorate this year’s awards ceremony, here is a list of the top five acceptance speeches in Golden Globes history. 1998: Christine Lahti’s hilarious moment. Along with earning herself a Golden Globe in 1998, Lahti earned some publicity for being caught at the wrong time for briefly leaving the ceremony. While she was supposed to be seated, the Academy Award winner left to attend other duties. Indeed, she was in the bathroom when her
Page 16
name was called. This was certainly an embarrassing moment for her, but many audience members laughed it off. 2006: Steve Carell’s appreciation to his wife. In 2006, Steve Carell earned his first Golden Globe. He faced some tough competition that year, and even admitted that he did not anticipate that he would win. In his acceptance speech, Carell mentioned such and that his wife actually wrote his speech. His wife mentioned that she has been very supportive, but would like her husband to be communicate about when he will be home each night. 2 0 11 : C h r i s Colfer’s Acceptance Speech. Although there have been a number of celebrities who have been shocked by winning a Golden Globe, Chris Colfer goes down as the most notable. Colfer, who is known for his great acting and signing on the television show Glee,
