jwardell@davisclipper.comThanksgiving can be either one of the best or worst days of the year, depend-ing on how you feel about your family

and how many of them are around.No matter where it falls on the scale, however, it can also be one of the most stressful times of the year. If you have no family, it can be in-credibly lonely. If you have no money, it high-lights that sharply. If you’re stuck being with family you don’t want to be with, it means a day of fighting, insults, and bad feelings. Even if you love the holiday, and are with the exact people you want to be with, it’s still not relaxing. If you’re hosting the meal, you have to worry about things like preparation, seating and remembering everyone’s food allergies and intolerances. If you’re attending the meal, you may still have to worry about bringing a side dish and will definitely have to worry about making sure both sides of the family feel suitably loved and appreciated. There are also kids to worry about, some of whom are still in that period in their lives when the only acceptable food is dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets. On top of that, there are other, more vague things that people end up worrying about. Is

this Thanksgiving living up to last year’s? Is it living up to my mother’s Thanksgiv-ing? Is it wrong to just want to take a nap when I should be enjoying the holiday? Am I doing enough? What am I doing to my diet? This year, though, it’s time to take back Thanksgiving. I’m not saying that you can magically sweep aside all holiday-related stress just by declaring it so. But if you love the holiday, let yourself start enjoying it a little more. Make more people help with the cooking, and remind yourself that even if things aren’t quite the way you’d do them it’ll still taste delicious. Make sure you have time for a nap, even if that means something isn’t quite perfect. Forgive yourself for anything you feel like you need to forgive yourself for. If it helps, feel free to cheat and/or use shortcuts. Focus on enjoying the day, not trying to make it fit into a Norman Rockwell painting. (Besides, do we really know what happened

after the painter left? Of course ev-eryone would behave for a guest, but I bet the moment he was gone the kids immediately went back to fighting over rolls). And if you’re one of those people who hate Thanksgiving, for whatever reason, take the day to be gentle with yourself. There’s nothing that says you have to spend the holiday the same way everyone else does, especially if it upsets you. Find some other way to make the day special, even if it’s curling up in a blanket with a tub of ice cream and watching Netflix all day. Don’t even refer to it as Thanksgiving, if you don’t want to. I’ve wished various international friends “happy Thursday” when I spoke to them online during the holiday, and that works perfectly well here as well. Whatever you’re thankful for, that’s what Thanksgiving is supposed to be about. Everything else is just details.

Enjoy that holiday meal – in moderationBy BECKy GINOSbginos@davisclipper.com

80 The holidays are almost upon us and with that comes food – and lots of it. Cookies, fudge, eggnog and Aunt Betty’s fruitcake, how do you hold onto your diet? “I suggest you follow the 80/20 rule,” said Rebecca Kim a registered dietician with Lakeview Hospital. “The 80 percent is eating healthy and the 20 percent is eating what you want. OK, so you ate that Christmas cookie. Now go back and eat healthy.” Kim said holiday stress can play a part in overeating as well. “Look at the time you’re spending,” she said. “Managing stress can help. Get enough sleep, etc. Consider what triggers you to want to eat during the holidays. Sometimes you as-sociate certain foods with an event.” If you’re trying to eat mostly healthy foods, then when you sit down to that Thanksgiving dinner you can eat what you want, Kim said. “Don’t deny yourself because then the dam bursts and you eat everything in sight,” she said. “You tell yourself, ‘I’ll diet in January.’ My grandma used to say, ‘It’s not what you eat between Thanksgiving and Christmas honey, it’s what you eat between Christmas and Thanksgiving.’” Kim recommends watching what you eat at breakfast and having a lower calorie lunch if you know you’re going to have a holiday meal later.

“Plan ahead so you can eat and enjoy the meal,” she said. “People who fail to plan, plan to fail. Take a snack like almonds so you have exactly what you want and you can enjoy it. Stop binging.” If you want something sugary, Kim said to have it with a meal. “It will help slow down the absorption of the sugar,” she said. “It helps so that your sugar level doesn’t go high and then low. Even if you’re not diabetic, we all crave sugar.” She suggests having high fiber foods with that holiday dessert. “It’s really hard to stop at one serving of pie,” she said. “Have a nice fruit salad with it. Use stimulus control. Get that junk food out of the pantry and then have just one or two things you adore.” Soups are a great way to fill up on a low calorie diet. “Then you can budget more calories later for dinner,” she said. “High in water and fiber soups (broth not cream) fruits and vegetables and healthy smooth-ies help so you can completely enjoy that piece of pie.” The American Heart Association offers these tips for healthy holiday eating: •Controlportions.Youdon’thaveto

deprive yourself, just eat smaller portions and less often. •Eatwhenyou’rehungry.Justbecausethe clock says it’s noon doesn’t mean you have to eat. If you’re not hungry, wait until you are – just don’t wait until you’re famished or you might overeat. •Plan.Preparehealthysnacksthrough-out the day. •Slowdown.Enjoyeachbiteandputyour fork down while chewing, then take a drink between each bite. •Payattention.Donoteatinfrontofthe TV or computer. You’re more likely to lose track of how much you’ve eaten. •Usetechnology.Usesmartphonesorother devices to help keep food records or count calories. •Keepafooddiary.Writedowneverything you eat, look at it, then identify why you ate it – was it hunger, stress or boredom? Breaking up a big feast can be helpful too, according to Kim. “Some people eat the pie, but save the roll for later,” she said. “If you break it up into more than one sit-ting, that’s not going without just delaying it. Holidays are an especially hard time for diabetics. I suggest if you’re going to a family dinner, take something you know you can eat so at least there will be one healthy thing you can have.”

The Smith family story shows the dark side of what can happen when siblings inherit a parent’s home, vacation cabin or farmland. Despite parents’ best intentions to assure future generations or family togetherness, an inherited property often triggers lifetime grudges and, at worst, lawsuits. Most parents assume that their children who get along well dur-ing life will continue to share the

cabin or farmland or fairly divide the home. Unfortunately, who gets to use the property on Memorial Day versus Fourth of July and who will pay for the repairs, maintenance and taxes become hot button issues. Es-pecially if there is disparity amongst the siblings’ available resources. Estate planners say the best way to avoid disputes is to discuss every-thing, plan early and put your plan in writing in your trust, will, or a

limited liability company. Often times, inheriting a house is a harmonious affair when siblings agree that the home can be sold. Sibling co-ownership for an invest-ment property, farm or recreational home may be workable, but it is the exception not the rule. Verbal agreements are not easily enforced in regards to the ownership

The Smith family rift lasted 20 years, beginning when the Smith parents died, leaving family recreational/agricultural property in Rich County. The family dispute prompted several lawsuits and took many years to resolve. Eventually, some of the land went to conservation easements while the rest was either sold to pay legal fees or divided amongst the siblings. It took another nine years before the siblings reconciled and before the family was able to share holidays or reunions.

and management of real property, so titling property in one child’s name can cause problems later between siblings. However, titling properties in all of your children’s names can cause unwanted capital gains tax problems, expose the property to creditor claims for children with financial troubles and does not provide for centralized management for making decisions about use and expense contributions. If you own a home, recreational property, or agricultural land it is wise to have an open and candid visit about how the property is managed and by whom during your disability or how it will be used and divided at your death. More importantly, have a

mechanism for decisionmaking that can avoid litigation if your children don’t see eye to eye. Then see your local elderlaw attorney to put your plan in writing so it is legally sound. Early planning and discussion can help avoid family con-flict that may tarnish the family legacy you plan to leave behind.

SILVER SHIELDNature's answer to a growing pathogen threat

DR. JERRY PARK AND HIS WIFE MONA PARK own and operate Park Chiropractic in Center-ville. They utilize a low force method of chiropractic in their treatments.

DR. JERRY PARK

We all know the potential damage that viruses and bacteria can inflict in the human body. Dozens of conditions ranging from the flu and dysentery to meningitis and pneumonia all have their roots in infectious organisms. On top of this, the emergence of superbugs resis-tant to antibiotics poses an even larger threat to our safety and well-being. Consequently, while much of the world sits and waits for the medical world to "discover" a new treatment for the latest su-perbug, it's important to realize that a simple, safe and effective alternative already exists. Silver products have been marketed for decades as medici-nal agents for use primarily as

disinfectants. In fact, patents on silver products have existed since the early 1920's. Today, a new and vastly improved type of silver has been developed that is virtually non-toxic and very effective against a wide range of pathogens. This "new" form of silver is found in a new product called Silver Shield, which has a nano-sized core of elemental silver and a silver oxide coating that main-tains its original charge--one of the properties most responsible for its antimicrobial action.WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SILVER SHIELD? Today's form of the silver found in Silver Shield can be effective without the fear of toxicity. Numerous lab reports

and research studies have documented the benefits of using silver. In fact, a recent report from the Microbiol-ogy Department at Brigham Young University found that silver aquasol technology found in Silver Shield was effective in destroying over a dozen of today's most dangerous bacteria, including Salmonella, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Streptococcus pneumoniae in a lab setting.IS SILVER SHIELD SAFE? The simple answer to this is "yes". As discussed, older col-loidal silver products did pose some measure of threat if used in large quantities for extended periods. However, the develop-ment of the new nano-particle

based silver solutions are ex-tremely safe. In fact, the United States government's director of Integrative Center for Home-land Security, Dr. P.K. Carlton has called silver "non-toxic to humans" and "EPA approved." For more information, contact Dr. Jerry Park at Park Chiropractic, 801-292-2299.

Sizzle isn’t just about summer weather or the patio grill. Inside your body, where you can’t see the “smoke and fire,” there may be an internal slow simmer or a rolling boil at work called inflam-mation. It is the engine that drives the most feared illnesses of middle and old age. It is estimated that more than half of all Americans are inflamed, with most people not knowing they are. Most ailments associated with chronic inflammation, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, fibromyalgia, atherosclerosis, inflammatory bowel, chronic pancreatitis, obesity, heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease, could be helped with an anti-inflammation diet. If inflammation has been turning up the heat inside your body, you can cool the simmer with a few key changes to your diet and lifestyle. Certain foods, such as dark red cherries, ginger, dark chocolate, berries and hibiscus, offer superior anti-inflammation properties. The following recipes not only spark your taste buds, they dial down inflammation:

Healing your inflammation Hibiscus Iced Tea Refresher

Hibiscus has powerful antioxidants, even more than green tea. It has been shown to lower high blood pressure and uric acid for people with gout. It also helps to quench the fires of inflamma-tion.Serves 6

• Chopped hibiscus flowers or 5 hibiscus herbal tea bags

• 12 mint leaves (optional)

• Juice of 1 lime (optional)

• 2 quarts purified waterSteep hibiscus tea or flowers in water. I put it all in the refrigera-tor. In about an hour you have iced tea.You can take anti-inflammatory drugs and supplements all year long, but if you don't get rid of pro-inflammatory foods and toxins, you'll simply be pouring good things on top of toxins and fueling inflammation.

Berry Power SmoothieBerries help prevent damaging effects of free radicals and inflammation by turning off the inflammatory signals triggered by cytokines (cells that regulate the immune system's response to inflammation) and COX-2 (an enzyme responsible for inflamma-tion and pain) making them an ideal part of your anti-inflamma-tion diet.Serves 1• 1 cup unsweetened plant milk such as hemp, coconut or almond milk• ½ cup blueberries, raspberries or blackberries• 1 pear• ½ cup baby spinach• 1 tsp. Indian gooseberry extract (optional)*• 1 tbsp. flaxseed• Ice cubes (optional, depending on how cold you like your smoothie)• Add all the ingredients to a blender and process until smooth.• Ginger Twist Juice • Ginger has been shown in scientific studies to have anti-inflamma-tory properties.Serves 1• 1 handful parsley • ½ lemon, peeled• 4 carrots, scrubbed well, green tops removed, ends trimmed• 1-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled Cut produce to fit your juicer’s feed tube. Juice ingredients and stir. Pour into a glass and drink as soon as possible.

There are certain foods every-

one wants to eat on Thanksgiving, and most of them aren’t very healthy. As it turns out, though, there are ways to make several of the most classic holiday dishes a little healthier (or at least less un-healthy). From sneaking veggies into the gravy to find-ing other options for butter, here are some things you can do in order to up the nutri-tion levels and shave a few calories off your thanksgiving feast. Mashed potatoes Though it’s hard to escape the fact that mashed potatoes are a straight shot of carbs, there are things you can do to ease the dish’s fat content. If you use cream, replace it with low-fat or non-fat milk. If you add butter, replace it with low-sodium chicken stock. Another good way to boost the flavor without boosting fat is to try garlic mashed potatoes, which eliminate the need for gravy. If you’re looking for an even healthier option, try mashing vegetables other than pota-toes. Celery root has a similar consistency to potatoes, and mashed cauliflower has a nice

mild flavor that works well with chives and Parmesan cheese.

Gravy It turns out the secret to making healthy gravy is to hide vegetables in it. A few spoonfuls of steamed, pureed vegetables such as zucchini or eggplant can be used as a thickener instead of carb-heavy flour or cornstarch. If you add milk to your gravy to increase its creaminess, you can get the same effect with boiled, pureed cauliflower. You can also make your gravy healthier by turning to other spices rather than salt in order to boost its flavor. Of course, the simplest way to make healthier gravy is to not make it out of fat drippings from the turkey. Start with chicken or vegetable stock in-stead, then use the above tricks to make the healthiest gravy possible for your family.

Stuffing There are a variety of healthy stuffing recipes avail-able on the Internet, but many families already have their own well-loved recipe they use year after year. Still, there are tweaks you can make to even time-honored recipes that will sneak past your family more easily than something brand-new. If you use butter in your stuffing recipe, the low-sodium chicken stock trick works here just as well (if your recipe

already includes chicken stock, just make more and use it for the butter part of the recipe as well. For a more nuanced fla-vor, use vegetable stock for one part of the recipe). Celery is also a classic stuffing addition, and while it’s not exactly high in vitamins it’s a good source of antioxidants and enzymes. If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, mushrooms or shredded zucchini can also be slipped into many stuffing reci-pes without causing too much of a stir.

Yams/sweet potatoes Though most people use the names interchangeably, the two vegetables definitely aren’t

the same. Sweet potatoes offer the most Vitamin A, while yams are the best bet if you’re looking for a boost of potas-sium. Yams have less natural sugar, and while both are low in sodium yams have even less than sweet potatoes. On the other hand, sweet potatoes are lower in both calories and carbohydrates. Whichever you choose, though, don’t prepare them with butter, sugar and marsh-mallows. Applesauce is a good natural sweetener, and cin-namon, cloves and allspice add flavor nuance without upping the calorie count.

Cooking tricks up the nutrition, lower calories in holiday favoritesBY JENNIFFER WARDELL

Have a healthier (but still tasty) Thanksgiving

Any new marriage has its hurdles. But when the newlyweds also bring children from previous mar-riages, they face the additional challenge of trying to balance the needs of the relationship with the needs of the kids. It’s rarely as easy as the Brady Bunch made it seem. “Too frequently, partners imagine that because they love each other, their children will jump on board and will also love this new partner as a stepparent,” said Dr. Anne Brennan Malec, a clinical psychologist, marriage and family therapist, and author of the book “Marriage in Modern Life: Why It Works, When It Works.” (www.drannemalec.com) “In reality, children are often confused and have contradictory emotions about the new family setup.” Frustration can set in when the union fails to create instant family unity. Try not to let it, Dr. Malec says. Everyone needs time to adjust and it’s up to the new couple to develop strategies for making this blended family work. For starters, she says, each parent should be responsible for manag-ing his or her children’s schedules, providing discipline and communi-cating with the ex-partner about any parenting issues. “You should expect that it’s going to be a rocky ride, and you can be pleasantly surprised if it’s not,” Dr. Malec says. “Remember, the kids did not get a vote in this, and they very well may dislike the stepparent or stepsiblings.” But, as with many things in life, patience mixed with a trial-and-error approach can get you where you need to be. Dr. Malec offers a few tips for easing the difficulties, if not eliminating all the pain:

•  Manage expectations  When creating a blended family, managing your expectations will decrease the odds of being disappointed, Dr. Malec says. Discuss your ideas for how the transition will go and set a reasonable bar for how you, your spouse, the children and any former spouses will respond to the new arrangement. Plan for a slow transition into this “new normal.”

  •  Keep communications with former spouses cordial Some relationships with ex-spouses run more smoothly than others. Ideally, former spouses would communicate respectfully and keep in mind the best interests of the children. That doesn’t always happen, though. If an ex-spouse gets under your skin too much, you might try self-soothing techniques such as meditating, exercising, taking a walk or journaling. You may also want to consider seeing a therapist. “It will benefit your current relationship if you can minimize the conflict with a former partner,” Dr. Malec says.

•  Nurture your romance With so many challenges balancing parental and relational respon-sibilities, you will need to give extra effort to setting aside kid-free time. “Making time for just the two of you is critical to the success of your relationship,” Dr. Malec says. “Forming a blended family is a long-term process, and it is reasonable to expect some pushback from children,

who had no voice in your choice to marry,” Dr. Malec says. “Be patient and try to see it through their eyes. Knowing in ad-

vance that it is likely to be tough and keeping your expectations dialed down goes a long way toward making sure your relationship doesn’t fall apart under the stress.”

Finally, there’s a hearing device that lets you hear the way you should: “all the way around.” Until

now, traditional hearing aids haven’t been able to pro-cess sound fast enough to help you hear all the way around you. So they would focus just on the speech directly in front of you, and suppress everything else. This would help you hear the person you were looking at, but not much else. It wasn’t perfect. But until now, it’s been the best that hearing aids have been able to do. No more tunnel hearing. That’s all changed with the revo-lutionary new hearing instrument from one manufacturer. It’s the biggest technical breakthrough ever. This processor chip is 50 times faster than anything that has ever been built – a quantum leap in speed. That’s fast enough to break out of the tunnel and help you hear in all directions, the way you were born to hear. And that’s a giant leap in hearing device technology. All around better hearing. When this new technology opens up your hearing to a full 360 degrees, a lot of good things happen. It has the ability to adjust and balance all the sounds around you, not just the ones directly in front of you. It will separate speech from noise and lets you focus on what’s important. And because it works in harmony with your brain to process sounds exceptionally fast, you get better speech understanding, less listening fatigue, and you’ll remember more of your conversations. How much better is this new technology? Well, you can enjoy 30 percent better speech understanding, reduce your listening effort by 20 percent and remember 20 percent more of your conversations. When we say that the hearing aid has come full circle, we really mean it. A recent scientific study showed that people who actively use hear-ing aids have a lower risk of mental decline as they age because they tend to stay more engaged in an active social life. Staying in the game is the key. Healthy hearing helps. Connect to the things that matter most. On the go, these hearing

aids sync seamlessly with your mobile devices, turning your hearing aids into a wireless headset that you can control with their easy-to-use app. The app also has a “locate my hearing aids” feature if they are lost. At home you can stream sound from your TV and radio directly into your hearing aids. Use the remote control with complete discre-tion to regulate volume, change programs or simply turn off your hearing aids. Imagine that your hearing aids are able to notify you when an email is received, or inform you when someone rings your doorbell. All of this is possible with the newest, groundbreaking technology in hearing aids. Call a qualified audiologist today to let them know you’d like to try the newest technology in hearing aids at no cost and no obliga-tion. It’s time to open up a new world of hearing!
