PROJECT #4
PANELED WALLS
Priming makes perfect. If panels
are stained wood, you’ll need to use
a stain-blocking primer to protect
your new color from bleed-through.
On laminate paneling, latex primer
will help the new paint stick.
Choose finishes freely. Think of it
like any other wall. Select scrubbable
semigloss to high-gloss for kitchens
and bathrooms or an eggshell or
matte for an office or den.

PROJECT #5
A CHAIR
Spend time sanding.
It’s the key to a no-peel
paint job! Stripping away
prior layers will give
new coats staying power.
Flip it over. Paint under
the seat and inside the legs
first, then finish with the
areas that are most visible.
Move around. Don’t
tackle spindles and curves
from one position. You’ll
avoid a gloppy mess if you
focus on one side at a time.
Clean the brush. As you
work, pause periodically to
remove excess paint, which
pools near the handle of
the brush and causes drips.
Use a stepladder. Being at eye
level will result in a better job overall.
Just be careful not to overextend
or reach while you’re up high, and
always reposition after you’ve
covered what’s directly ahead.
Get into the grooves. If the gaps
between the panels are shallow, a
roller can get between them with no
problem. If they’re deeper, slide in
the skinny edge of a foam brush.
BATHROOM: LUCAS ALLEN. FIREPLACE: LINCOLN BARBOUR. CHAIR: GETTY IMAGES.
PROJECT #6
A BRICK FIREPLACE
Give it a good cleaning. It takes only a light draft to stir up
debris. Carefully suck up any dust and soot in and around
the hearth with the vacuum’s hose extension, then wash the
surface with a solution of mild dish soap and water.
Plan for two coats. Remember that brick is porous, so you’ll
need to apply at least a couple of coats to ensure complete
coverage. Look for a masonry formula specifically made for
stone and brick that can withstand high heat.
Grab the right roller. To get into those itty-bitty nooks and
crannies along the seams of the stones, use a mini roller with
a ½” nap. The thicker the nap, the more paint it is designed
to hold, which means you won’t have to constantly dip it back
into the tray to reload.

Follow the order. For

time for a second coat.
Brush size matters. Using
one that’s too wide can
cause the bristles to splay
over the edge, leaving
unwanted brush marks.
Have a range on hand so
you can choose the right
width every time.
Don’t rush drying. Allow
paint to cure completely
before putting books and
decor back in place. That
way, you won’t smudge
your hard work.

Make it last. Use leftover wall paint from your last DIY project, and you’re
going to get nicks and scratches. You need to use a formula designed
specifically for floors so it will stand up to everyday wear and tear.
Check the weather. Choose a day with low humidity so paint will dry fast.
Start smart. Approach the room as you do when you mop, but remember—
no tiptoeing allowed! Position yourself in the corner farthest from the exit
and work your way out of the room with an extended roller brush.
Be patient. Let paint dry (about four to six hours) between coats—two
should be enough—and let it cure completely before replacing furniture
or cleaning. (Scuffs and sprays may damage the finish if it hasn’t hardened
fully.) Curing can take a few days or a few weeks, so be sure to check with
the manufacturer for guidelines.

Like many other military veterans,

t’s 3 a.m. on a warm summer day, and farmer
Sonia Kendrick, 41, rolls out of bed. Outside the window,
though, there’s no rooster crowing or sun creeping
up over a bucolic field: Sonia lives in a two-bedroom
apartment in downtown Cedar Rapids, IA. And while she farms
a total of 25 acres, it’s sprinkled across the city in everything
from quarter-acre patches to eight-acre parcels.

W O M A N S D AY M A G A Z I N E M AY 2 0 1 8 63
Inspire / HOPE GROWS
Each morning, after catching
up on emails and meditating,
Sonia gets her daughters, who are
11 and 13, off to school, then heads
out to check on her farms.
Sonia’s land is actually owned
by churches, businesses, and
private citizens who donate its use
to her nonprofit, Feed Iowa First.
Under Sonia’s direction, about 100
volunteers help till the soil, plant
seeds, water and fertilize, and
harvest produce from tomatoes
and eggplant to peas, beans, and
radishes. The group donates the
food—now about $150,000 worth
each year—to food pantries
and other organizations as well
as directly to those in need.
Sonia is no stranger to the
hard work necessary to get the
job done—she served as a
petroleum supply specialist in
the U.S. Army National Guard
from 1995 to 2004. Now she’s
part of a small but growing
group of military veterans who
are embracing agricultural work
as a way to use their military
training while making a living
in a nontraditional manner.
Sonia, who suffers from PTSD
and has struggled with alcoholism,
credits the all-consuming job with
saving her life: “When I don’t feel
safe—if I hear a helicopter or see a
strange person—I’ve gotta move.
At a regular desk job, you can’t just
leave,” she says. “I’m trying to live
my life and not let the fear rule me.”
After stints in the Middle East
with the Army, Sonia returned
to Iowa in 2004 and had her two
girls. All seemed fine until her
PTSD set in a few years later.
Unable to sleep, she turned to
alcohol. “Sleep is a scary time for
me—I hear everything. My brain
still tells me someone is going to
come kill me,” she says.
She lost her job as an electrician
and her marriage crumbled. After
getting her drinking problem
under control, she earned her
66 M AY 2 0 1 8
master’s degree in sustainable
food systems, which she pursued
after witnessing food insecurity
firsthand in Afghan communities.
She saw people running through
minefields to get to food-supply
trucks, digging through
Dumpsters, even fighting for
the Taliban or Al-Qaeda to
provide for their families.
This opened her eyes to issues
at home in Iowa, where 385,000
people experience food insecurity
and an estimated 84% to 90% of
food is brought in from other
states, despite the abundance of
farmland. And through it she
found a new way to serve her
country. “I consider food security
to be national security,” she says.
★★ A Hand Up ★★
Many see the vet-to-farmer
movement as symbiotic: The
land needs a new generation
of farmers—the average age of
principle farm operators has
increased steadily over the past
three decades—and returning
veterans need meaningful
work. Plus, the skills veterans
have learned in the military are
relevant: Strategic thinking,
risk assessment, handling heavy
equipment, working odd hours—
all of it complements agriculture,
says Dulanie Ellis, producer/
director of the award-winning
2013 documentary Ground
Operations: Battlefields to
Farmfields, about veterans
transitioning into careers as
farmers and ranchers.
Plus, many PTSD sufferers
find agricultural work cathartic.
“Farming and ranching save vet
lives — there’s no getting around
it,” Ellis says. “After being in a
culture of death and destruction,
they get to create life. I can’t tell
you how many have told me, ‘I’m
not great with people, but I love
my sheep or cattle.’ ”
Still, the shift from soldier
to farmer isn’t without challenges.
Starting a farm takes money,
land, and skills, and new young
farmers need a boost. Considered
disabled by the military, Sonia
collects about $36,000 a year
in benefits, a cushion that allowed
her to get into the field and
supplement her operations
budget with fundraising.
A 1970s school bus serves as
a mobile food pantry for Feed
Iowa First, and the stories of the
people who come aboard “totally
busts the myth that people with
low incomes don’t care about
good food,” says volunteer Lynette
Richards, who has worked
with Sonia for years. “Sonia is
a true visionary—she’s willing
to challenge the system; she’s
intelligent and informed and

beyond where most agencies
and individuals leave off. She
connects with people who
have a desire to work hard
and have a huge need.”
★★ A Budding Movement ★★
The vet-to-farmer trend is still
under the radar—the USDA began
recording the number of people
who fit the profile just last year.
Plus, once vets are out of the
service, they tend to disappear
into civilian life, making outreach
hard, explains Bridget Holcomb,
executive director of the Women,
Food and Agriculture Network.
Still, you might say the proof
is in the produce, especially for
Kelly D. Carlisle, 39, a U.S. Navy
veteran who now runs Acta
Non Verba: Youth Urban Farm
Project, a farm and garden
program in Oakland, CA. Like
Sonia’s, Kelly’s effort involves
more than simply growing
potatoes or carrots: Local
children help plant, tend, and
sell the veggies, with proceeds

going into a savings account for
each participating child.
It’s early in the morning,
yet Kelly, mom to a 13-year-old
girl, has already been to the
gym, then to Home Depot and
back. At 7:30 a.m., kids will start
pouring into the camp, and on
top of that, she manages the
farm’s food pantry. It’s a lot to
juggle, but this is a woman who
served roughly six years in
the U.S. Navy and U.S. Navy
Reserves before working
in corporate recruiting.
“The Navy taught me how to
get the job done no matter how
long it takes,” Kelly says. “It
taught me how to inspire people.”
Like Sonia and other veterans,
Kelly is familiar with aspects of
the world that the general public
rarely experiences, something
the military has in common
with agriculture.
“I always hope we can
encourage more farmers—it’s
easy to disconnect from where
our food comes from,” Kelly
says. “More than any kind of

As for Sonia, her goal
is to grow her Iowa farm
to 500 acres—the number
she’d need to provide
vegetables for the 25,000
food-insecure residents
of her county. “I want
my children to live in a society
free of food insecurity,” she says.
“I believe everyone deserves
healthy food.”

aside my insecurities,
I realized that fitting

i, I’m Stefanie,”
the young mother
said, “and this
is Isabella.” The
woman held
her 6-week-old baby, swaddled
in a starred muslin blanket. We
were meeting in the back of a
neighborhood store that sold baby
supplies: 20 or so women who’d
all given birth that summer.
I nestled my own 6-week-old
daughter, Rae, in my arms.
It was the first official group
I’d ever joined. I was 37.
As far back as high school,
I was used to entering a room
of people and ticking off all the
reasons I didn’t fit in with them—
I was too loudmouthed or not
pretty enough. I belonged to no
clubs or teams, secretly craving
group activity but rejecting it
before I could feel left out.
But the first six weeks of
parenting had been harder than
I’d thought, sleep and feeding

there was the isolation: me and

old habits, convincing myself
that the women were too young or
too happy or too attractive—too
different from me, an artsy type of
“advanced maternal age.” Babies
and location: that was all we had
in common, I thought. As it turned
out, it was all that mattered.
GROWING TOGETHER
For the next six months, we
met regularly in parks or coffee
shops to talk about every subject
a new mom could imagine:
spit-up and constipation, sleep
training, baby carriers and
diaper cream and supportive
(or unsupportive) partners.
There were myriad opinions,
tactics, and coping mechanisms
plus advice and sympathy.
Lots of sympathy. I started to
feel something I hadn’t before:
a sense of belonging.
W O M A N S D AY M A G A Z I N E
COMMUNITY / Inspire
We gathered at my house once
and hired a hairstylist to give us
cuts while we took turns watching
one another’s babies. We traded
hand-me-downs. A couple of
times, we left the babies with our
partners and met up for dinner.
I was surprised to find that even
without our kids, the connection
I had with Stefanie and the other
women was sustained. What I
had gained was something I hadn’t
known I was missing: community.
That was nearly eight years
ago. The group has inevitably
grown apart—we seldom solicit
advice from one another or hang
out anymore. But the experience
had lasting effects. I learned that
a sense of belonging can come
not only from being with people
who are like you, but also from
being with people who aren’t—
and who accept you anyway.
It’s not that I was cured of my
stinging social insecurity; it still
rears its head. But with every new
group I approach, I embrace the
possibility of belonging.

Afghanistan

When bombs started falling on Kabul, this 15 year

old fled with her mother and six siblings to India.

Her father stayed behind, and sends money when

he can. Culturally, her mother cannot work, so their
family has no other source of income.

In Afghanistan she was not allowed to go to school,

but in India she has the freedom to learn, although
she fears that if her father found out, he would
stop her. So she has chosen to remain anonymous.

With an education she sees a future where she can

make her own decisions. Her dream is to become
a fashion designer, not a wife in an arranged marriage
where she is forbidden to work.

Her story is one of millions from the bottom of the

world’s rich list. To read more, and see how you can

Life is busy and trying to juggle family and work can leave you feel-

Floradix is a low-dose supplement designed to prevent and treat
iron deiciency and has been helping women reclaim their energy
and vitality for over 60 years.

We all need iron for energy.

Women are especially prone to iron deficiency due to periods,
pregnancy, and breast-feeding. In fact, menstruation is the main
reason women are 10 times more likely than men to suffer from
low iron levels. Just a few consecutive heavy periods can cause
iron losses that are difficult to reverse without supplementation.

The Spice THE SCOOP

ON TURMERIC
This bright yellow
spice is actually

of Life a root—and a
member of the
ginger family.

W hy you
should add
turmeric to
your food: A compound
found in that spice
called curcumin can
improve the memory
and mood of middle-
aged and older adults,
according to a new
study in the American
Journal of Geriatric
Psychiatry. (Curcumin
has anti-inflammatory
and antioxidant
properties, which
may explain the brain
benefit.) Not sure how
to use it? The spice goes
well with ingredients
like banana, mango,
and ginger, so add a
spoonful to a smoothie,
mix it into your
oatmeal, or even drink
it in tea form. Numi and
The Republic of Tea
both make varieties
that contain turmeric.

Health / TAKE ACTION AGAINST ALZHEIMER’S
TALK ABOUT THE DISEASE
IN YOUR COMMUNITY
When someone is diagnosed with dementia, one of
the main fears that come up is that others will treat
that person—and his or her family—differently
once they find out. So caregivers and affected people
tend to clam up. “There’s a sense of family members
protecting their own,” says Jill Lesser, president
of the advocacy group Women Against Alzheimer’s.
“It’s similar to what we used to see when people
were diagnosed with cancer—there’s an
enormous amount of fear or stigma.”
CHANGEMAKER: In 2013, when
her husband was first diagnosed
with dementia, Veronica Ives of
Winona, MN, was very cautious
about mentioning it to anyone.
“I was afraid that other people
were going to look down on him,” “Talking about
she says. “But being cautious Alzheimer’s
about telling people is a burden makes it feel

just be open. Talking about it, she
says, allows her to help people understand things
like why her husband “eats funny; he doesn’t
have traditional table manners” and why she takes
him into the women’s restroom if there are no
family facilities. People may give them strange
looks, but she takes the time to educate them
on what’s happening. “It’s hard, but talking about
it makes it more normal,” she says. “You can’t
do anything about what you can’t talk about.”
TAKE ACTION: Talk. Use the words
“Alzheimer’s” and “dementia.” The more people
know about what it is and what it’s like to live
with the disease, the more compassion they often
have. Dementia Friends, a program administered

commit to doing one small
thing to increase awareness. It can be
as simple as telling another person what you’ve
learned about Alzheimer’s or being more patient
with someone who’s affected.
JOIN A CLINICAL TRIAL
Currently there’s no cure for Alzheimer’s, and
the only way to find one is to research what might
prevent, slow, or treat it. Insufficient funding is one
reason clinical trials aren’t discovering answers more
quickly, but another missing piece is the lack of enough
people to fill prevention and treatment studies,
says Jessica Langbaum, Ph.D., principal investigator
of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Registry. (It turns
out that 80% of all research studies
can’t find the participants they need.)
CHANGEMAKER: Sarah Boggan,
35, of Scottsdale, AZ, signed up
for the Alzheimer’s Prevention
Registry because her grandmother
had the disease. She encouraged
her mom to join too, and they were “We actually

WHY I WALK In September
2011, my 59-year-old mom was
diagnosed with early-onset
Alzheimer’s disease. Our family was
shocked—we hadn’t even known
there was such a thing. I decided to
form a team for the local Walk to
End Alzheimer’s in St. Cloud, MN.
I know raising money is so critical,
but what I really want to do is raise
awareness. People don’t know
how to ask questions, and they
shy away from talking to my mom
because they don’t know how to
communicate with her. People
don’t understand that my mom
can’t get herself dressed, but
still knows how to whistle. I want
others to have a sense of what
she’s going through, even just
a little bit, so she can go to
parties or shopping without
people treating her differently. My
mom does the walk every year.
It’s an emotional day, but it’s been
therapeutic because I know I’m
making a difference. My mom is
grateful for what we’re doing too.

INSPIRING
SOLUTIONS
Take a look at the unique ways these
women are furthering the conversation
around dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Harness Humor
Dealing with two parents who had dementia,
Alexandra Allred, a writer in Waxahachie, TX, felt
herself being swallowed up. So she started pretending
she was in a sitcom, then posting the humorous
things that happened on Facebook with the hashtag
#LifeWithDementia. (For example, she posted a photo
of her dad making a call with a stuffed animal and
captioned it: “When you have a really, really, really
important call to make…sometimes you just use
a stuffed toy.”) She rapidly garnered hundreds more
Facebook followers. She now teaches others to see
humor: “There’s no avoiding the pain, but when I could
find the funny, loving stories, I started to feel stronger.”
Make Connections
Beatrice Tauber Prior, Psy.D., a clinical psychologist
in North Carolina, was lamenting to her hairstylist
about not having a book to recommend to patients
whose families were affected by dementia. The
stylist connected her with another client, Mary Ann
Drummond, a nurse who had written a book called
Meet Me Where I Am about caring for someone
with Alzheimer’s. Prior and Drummond hit it off,
and they coauthored a children’s book called
Grandma and Me: A Kid’s Guide
for Alzheimer’s & Dementia
(amazon.com), which helps explain
to children what’s happening to
their grandparents.
Paint a Bigger Picture
When Lauren Hill worked in
marketing at a hospital in Houston,
she noticed that after they’d give talks about heart
disease—using a small model of the heart—people
would leave and go get a burger. She thought,
What if there were a big exhibit, like in a museum,
that would really make an impact? Enter her new
business: Medical Inflatable Exhibits. When you
walk through the brain (kind of like an upside-down
bouncy house), you can see what happens to it with
Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, concussions, headaches,
and more. The inflatable brains travel to health
fairs and Alzheimer’s walks, and if Hill’s efforts pan
out, they will appear at schools too. (She also has
a heart inflatable to address her initial inspiration.)

you probably think of cardio.
After all, “cardio” is short
for “cardiovascular” exercise.
Turns out, though, that strength training offers
big benefits to your heart, often improving certain
markers of heart health just as well as—if not better
than—cardio, says Martha Gulati, M.D., division
chief of cardiology at the University of Arizona
College of Medicine-Phoenix. One study in the
journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise
found that women who work to build muscle mass
have a 17% lower risk of heart disease because
strength training boosts blood flow to limbs and
widens blood vessels. But the benefits don’t end
there. Because the exercise increases muscle, it
makes it easier for your body to burn calories (even
when you’re at rest) and maintain a healthy weight.
Plus, resistance training protects against type 2
diabetes, which is a major risk factor for heart
disease. Talk about total heart perks!

chance to take on more. The busy
mother runs her own PR agency and
screen-printing business with her
husband. The moments she’s not
planning events or making work
calls, she’s shuttling her three little
ones to school and activities. But
the long hours and fast-paced work
have taken a toll. She started losing
her hair and gained about 20 pounds
after having her children, who
are all under the age of 7. “I’m an
overachiever and a people pleaser,
and I work until the job is done, even
if that means I’m putting in 16- or
17-hour days,” says Jennie. She wants
to continue to thrive in her career

won’t affect her body or leave her
feeling worn out 24/7.

Make exercise a priority, even
if it seems like there’s no time
Working out is nature’s stress reliever—
it helps boost a chemical in the brain called
norepinephrine, which manages anxiety.
Find a pocket of time, even if it’s just 30 minutes
a day, to get moving. And instead of seeing exercise as
another task, try to think of it as a way to help you get your
work done faster, because it keeps you in a better mental
state for productivity.
2
Log more sleep each
night, no matter what
Banking just three to four hours of sleep a
night in order to cross off to-do’s may work
in the short term, but it can lead to burnout
and cause negative health effects long-term.
It’s crucial to figure out a way to get a full night of rest
(studies typically suggest at least seven hours). To do so,
cut out distractions that pull you away from preparing for
slumber. For example, program your home Wi-Fi network to
automatically turn off at 9 p.m., limit TV time to three hours
per week, or consider swearing off social media after dark.

Find a person you can relate

Part of managing stress is having a community.
(In Jennie’s case, Dr. Carmichael suggested
looking for a new friend or mentor who
was both a mother and an entrepreneur.)
Together you can strategize, brainstorm, and keep each
other motivated. Mentorship groups can also help; search
for organizations in your town or online.
JENNIE’S RESULTS
“I’m tackling my stress with a one-two punch.
My neighbor and I have started running together in the
mornings. The first few times we ran just one mile, and
we’ve now worked our way up to eight most mornings.
Not only does the exercise help alleviate my stress, but
my neighbor is also a mother and business owner, so we
talk about work projects, challenges that come up, and
ways to stay on track career-wise. Also, I’m making sure
to get at least seven hours of sleep with some simple
tweaks. I adjusted my schedule so I wake up early—prior
to my a.m. run—to get tasks done before the kids rise,
when my mind is fresh and I can work more efficiently.
Then I go to bed by 9 p.m., so I don’t miss out on shut-
eye. Things have been clicking for me, and I’m feeling in
control, so I know these changes are really paying off.”

“I want to be

Ruby Mitchell, 57, Philadelphia
AS A FULL-TIME WOMEN’S MINISTRY
leader at her church, Ruby, the mother
of a 20-year-old son and a 14-year-
old daughter, is passionate about
her work. She helps keep her staff
motivated and inspired and plans
retreats for more than 300 women
in her congregation. It takes a lot of
organization and prep work to put
together events and presentations,
which can sometimes overload her
and cause her to toss and turn at night.
Ruby’s goal is to learn how to plan in
a more productive way so she can
enjoy the process instead of spending
extra time fretting about what needs
to get done. “I want to find ways to
use all my energy and ability rather
than be held back by stress,”
says Ruby. Also, she has entered
menopause and has been dealing with
symptoms like brain fog and trouble
sleeping for a number of years, which
has added to her worries about
what’s normal and what’s not and
how best to deal with it all.

DR.
CARMICHAEL’S
3 - STEP
PL A N
1
Get your health in order
Well-being concerns can cause a lot of extra
stress. But if they’re related to hormonal changes,
visiting a menopause specialist—you can ask your
primary care physician for a referral—can help.
This will not only ensure that you get the care you
need but also provide some peace of mind. Finding the
right doctor may take time at first, but it’s worth the effort.
2
Rethink your evening routine
Quieting your mind before bed helps you
unwind from a hectic day. But the key is
to choose the right activity that won’t rile
you up. For example, Ruby enjoys adult
coloring books, but these can actually be too
stimulating to do while in bed. Listening to an audiobook,
on the other hand, gives you something to wrap your head
around—it distracts you from replaying the day or running
through your to-do list (a problem for Ruby). But it’s also
relaxing enough to lull you to sleep. Before pressing play, write
down all your “busy thoughts,” such as Remember to email
Jane, so there’s nothing buzzing while you’re trying to nod off.
3
Create a vision board
It’s important to have a clear sense of your
goals and what moves you; not knowing
what you want for the future can be a source
of stress. Making a simple collage of pictures
that inspire you helps you focus and avoid
wasting time on tangents that pull you away from your
target. Place it where you’ll see it every day, like next to your
laptop. You may realize during the creation of the board that
you need extra help to make your vision become a reality.
(For Ruby, Carmichael advised that she ask for assistance
in planning presentations so she doesn’t get distracted.)

“I’m loving my new nighttime strategy: I’ve downloaded
an audiobook on my tablet that a friend recommended.
Shortly after I start it, I’m knocked out. I sleep more

soundly also because my doctor gave me an estrogen
patch to treat my menopause symptoms. If things
don’t improve, she plans to refer me to a specialist.
(I never realized how great it feels to be proactive about
my health!) Additionally, two assistants have started
working with me on my presentations—it’s nice to have
extra sets of hands so that I stay organized. And I’m
putting together my vision board. Clipping articles and
pictures puts my creativity to use and brings clarity,
so I know that I’m headed in the right direction.”

Q My kid seems way
more irritable than
usual and is constantly
blowing up. What’s going on?
A: It sounds like anxiety, which is
one of the biggest problems teens
face today. (Nearly one-third of
adolescents experience anxiety
disorder, according to the National
Institute of Mental Health.)
Anxiety can be caused by school
pressures, worries about fitting in,
and social media, which can stoke
insecurity by creating unhealthy
comparisons. An anxious teenager
may have trouble sleeping and
be ill-tempered because she’s
constantly thinking about
something that’s bothering her.
Three of the best ways to help:
JOHNER BILDBYRA/OFFSET.
Accept what she’s going

to push parents’ buttons, so try

Q
My kid mentioned
that her friend seems
depressed. What can she do?
A: If your child thinks something
is off (signs of depression in teens
include having a new and different
attitude toward school for two
weeks or more, being extremely
exhausted, not eating, and even
cutting), she needs to immediately
tell a caring adult like a teacher,
school counselor, school nurse,
or parent. It can be hard if she
feels her friend has told her things
in confidence, but you can explain
that taking action may save her
friend’s life. Tell your child to
say something like, “I know it’s
scary, but I’ll go to the school
counselor with you. I’m worried
about you, and I want to help.”

Pick a species Grab a shovel Tend your tree

Large deciduous trees, like maples,
give shade in the summer and drop
their leaves to allow sunlight through
for warmth in the winter. Evergreens
offer privacy and wind protection,
while short, flowering trees like
dogwoods add beauty without
disturbing power lines. Ask an expert
at your local nursery to find a tree
that fits your climate and location.
Mark a planting spot a minimum
of 10 feet away from your home for
short trees and 20 feet for taller
ones. The hole you dig should be at
least twice as wide and just as deep
as the tree’s roots. Hold the tree
so that the base of the trunk is just
above ground level, then have your
little ones help by filling in the hole
with the soil that came out of it.
Remove grass from at least three
feet around your tree. Build a soil rim
around the perimeter to help hold
water, then cover the area with two
inches of mulch to retain moisture
and deter weeds. Stop several inches
short of the trunk, as mulch can
damage bark. Water daily for about
two weeks while it is newly planted,
keeping the soil moist, not soggy.

SECURE YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY
NUMBER
Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing
crimes in America, and it all starts with
your Social Security number landing
in the wrong hands. Those nine digits
allow thieves to open credit cards in your
name, among other mischievous deeds.
THE FIX: Never carry your Social
Security card in your wallet, and store
important papers that show your number
in a safe place or shred them. When
someone requests your number, ask why
it’s needed, how it will be used, and what
will happen if you refuse. Use that info
to determine if it’s safe to share it. And
do the same for your children’s numbers
too—about 1.3 million kids are affected
annually by identity theft, usually from
medical or school records.

Discover the
fast(ing) way
to weight loss...
Dr. Charles Shively
Registered pharmacist in multiple states
with 50 years of healthcare experience
The constantly increasing number
of different diets has become over-
whelming for many people who want
to lose weight. What should they
eat, how much, and at what time of
the day? Is it calories, carbs, or fat
that matter? Should they follow the
latest trend or rely on old-fashioned
approaches? In addition, the effec-
tiveness and success of any diet not
only depends on the program itself,
but mainly on the individual user.
F
aced with this dilemma, more and
more people decide to lose weight
by fasting. Fasting is not only un-
complicated, it also works – always. Not
consuming any solid food for several days
or weeks leads to quick weight loss. There
is no pressure to eat the right foods in the
right amount and at the right time. Addi-
tionally, the well-known “fasting eupho-
ria” helps those on a fast to feel more joyful
and balanced. Moreover, fasting is not on-
ly good for the waistline and psyche, it has
a positive influence on the entire organism.
For instance, fasting has been shown to im-
prove inflammation levels, blood sugar and
blood pressure.
However, despite its many positives, the tra-
ditional fast also comes with some unwant-
ed side effects. The body slows down the
metabolism and takes the energy it needs
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
As always, consult your doctor or health care team before beginning any weight loss program or reducing your dosage of current medications.
from muscle protein
instead of fat depos-
its because the former
is easier to utilize. As
a result, most people
gain the lost weight
back after the fast.
The quick success is
not one that’s perma-
nent. The risk of defi-
ciencies also increas-
es, especially during a
longer fasting period, and people often feel
tired, hungry and less productive.
All this can be counteracted by optimizing a
liquid fast with Almased. To do so, supple-
ment the traditional vegetable broth and wa-
ter with three Almased shakes daily. They
provide all the important nutrients the body
needs, activate the metabolism naturally and
keep it at an optimal level during the fast.
Additionally, the high-quality protein in
Almased protects the muscles. The result:
The body burns fat instead of muscle mass,
weight and inches decrease and the yoyo-ef-
fect can be avoided. Almased also keeps the
hunger that is common during a fast at bay,
because it is filling and keeps blood sugar
levels balanced – energy and mood remain
elevated. The quick and noticeable weight
loss results and the increased feeling of over-
all well-being give motivation to continue.
But what exactly differentiates Almased
from other similar products? The positive ef-
fects of Almased have been proven in a num-
ber of studies at independent institutes. The
unique manufacturing process, the recipe
that was developed 25 years ago as a “metab-
olism booster” by a holistic therapist, as well
as the high-quality raw ingredients result in
an especially high bioavailability. Many have
tried to copy Almased, all have failed. That is
one of the many reasons it was voted “Most
Trusted Brand” in Germany consecutively
in 2016 and 2017.
To enjoy the positive effects and especial-
ly the weight loss results of a fast without
worrying about negative consequences,
the Almased-modified fast is ideal. The
unique, scientifically proven formula opti-
mizes results, helps to avoid muscle loss and
hunger, and leads to easy, quick and, even
more importantly, healthy and sustainable
weight loss.
