Ginger is the New Blonde

For the past decade (if not the past century), most of the fashion indus-try has been obsessed with blondes.

Be it on models or A-list stars, blondes are reputed to have more fun.

Make no mistake — blonde hair isn’t going anywhere with 2012, seeing both peroxide blonde and golden blonde as “on trend.” The icy blond thing is cool and all (and yes fun!), but the spring/summer of 2012 is all about red. The redhead, specifically ginger, isn’t just a hair color in 2012; it’s an attitude. If it were a formula you could mix up, it would end up 1/3 red hair, 1/3 personality and 1/3 confidence!

Part of the appeal of red hair is that it is a rarity. Less than 2 percent of people are natural redheads, so the more natural your red color looks, the more it can be associ-ated with something unique and exclusive. Therefore, there’s only one real golden rule worth stating when it comes to red hair in 2012 — it can’t look fake.

Going ginger is about being fearless and having fun. The first thing you need to do is decide what type of red you want. Whether fashion red, chestnut, ginger, cool tomato or golden strawberry, how you get there will depend on the condition of your hair and what color you already have in it.

Different hair colors will take to red dye in varying ways, so your best bet is always to head to a trusted salon. Very light hair will need a subtle approach to avoid turning too orange; while very dark hair may need to be lightened first in order to achieve a rich red color. Subtle highlights and low-lights help to achieve the natural redhead look, however obvious contrasting streaks are not recommended. Remember that artificial red is also one of the hardest col-ors to keep in your hair. A high fashion red like (singer) Rihanna’s or (supermod-el) Coco Rocha’s is going to be just as high maintenance as being a bottle blonde.

Pale porcelain skin will almost always work with red hair – particularly if your eyes are green or blue. Go for lighter reds like nat-ural gingers and neutral-tone coppers. If you’ve got freckles, don’t cover them with foundation cake; show them off!

Prefer to go full-throttle strawberry blonde? Soft gold tones that have a touch of red look great on women who are natu-rally dark to golden blond with warmer skin tones like (actress) Blake Lively. This golden blond made a striking transition to red, and admit it — she’s better than ever.

Another fiery option for 2012 is rich clar-et-colored hair. Who better than (actress) Scarlett Johansson to sport this trend? This gorgeous hair chameleon turns heads, and her new hair color captures her elegance and sophistication to the max. The deep tones of this red hair color build its overall sultriness and glamour.

When you change to red you may need to update your blush and lipstick color. Vi-brant red can drain the face, so it’s impor-tant to fuse color back in with blusher or bronzer. Both pale and bronzed skinned redheads should consider lightening their brows. This not only adds to the natural-born redhead effect but also brings the look well and truly into 2012.

So whether it’s a subtle strawberry or a fi-ery copper, going red is a way of life. It’s all about having the confidence to own your look. Just have fun with it and don’t be afraid to step out of your box, into the fierce world of redhead ginger bombshells!

In the fall of 2012, Lexington Catholic High School will unveil the Equine Academy, an unique educational opportunity for students interested in learning all aspects of the horse industry.

Theprogram will be available to in-coming freshmen.

The Equine Academy’s primary aca-demic component will be a four-year equine-related course curriculum.Additional off-campus college-level courses, mentorships and research programs will be offered through partnerships with the UK College of Agriculture’s Equine Initiative and Midway College’s Equine Program.

Students will also experience an ex-tracurricular program which will offer internships, events, seminars, fieldtrips, job shadowing, service proj-ects and special events coordinated through our partnerships with Georgetown College’s Equine Scholars

Program and Alltech.

“The Equine Academy at Lexington Catholic is the newest addition to our expanding selection of educationally relevant programs,” Dr. Steve Ange-lucci, president of Lexington Catho-lic, said. “Our goal is to inspire and nurture future leaders in the equine industry. As the only program of its kind in the nation, our students will enjoy unique access to the wealth of equine related resources available only in Central Kentucky.”

“As someone who is heavily invested in the horse industry and cares deeply about developing our next genera-tion of leaders, I am excited about this innovative new program,” Boyd Browning, president and CEO of Fasig-Tipton said. “As a Lexington Catholic board member and parent of a current student and three graduates, I am proud to see this program added to a great school.”

To All Our Valued Customers, Readers & Friends,

It’s about that time of year when NCAA Men’s Basketball fans prepare to fill out tournament brackets for the March Madness 64-team tour-nament. Yet, the history of the tournament is of-ten overlooked and the term “March Madness” was surprisingly coined from a high school boys’ basketball tournament in Illinois.

The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) sponsored a high school boys’ basketball tour-nament that began in 1908. By the 1930s, the tournament grew to a statewide event with over

900 schools competing. It was Henry V. Porter, assistant executive secretary of the IHSA, who came up with the popular term. In 1939, he wrote an essay about the popular tournament and titled it “March Madness.”

This month’s cover feature is Family Practice Associates of Lexington, a group of primary care pro-viders who are dedicated to giving family-centered care from birth to later years. FPA has 12 provid-ers including 10 physicians, a nurse practitioner and a marriage and family therapist. Page 14-15.

As always, thanks for your continued support!

Seven Lexington high schools are going head to head in an intense competition this spring, but not on the athletic field or courts. They are battling it out to see which school’s students can provide the most food to God’s Pantry Food Bank to help feed hungry families as part of the Fayette Food Frenzy.

The food drive kicked off Feb.14 and runs through the end of March and is new for God’s Pantry Food Bank, which reached out to local students participating in Commerce Lexington’s Leadership Lexington Youth to help plan the event.

Historically, the food bank has held a public school food drive in the fall for all grades and a private school food drive in the spring for all private schools. Participating schools include Bryan Station High School, Dunbar High School, Henry Clay High School, Lafayette High School, Lexington

Catholic High School, Lexington Christian Academy, Sayre Upper School and Tates Creek High School.

This year, the decision was made to pull the high schools out for a separate competitive food drive in the spring, hoping to ramp up their support and participation. All schools with grades K-8 participated in the Kids Can Hunger Drive in October, which provided more than 84,000 pounds of food to the Food Bank’s four emergency food pantries in Lexington.

More than 20 students in the 2012 Leadership Lexington Youth helped food bank staff beginning in December, and the group picked the time frame for the food drive, named the event and shared ideas on ways to promote the drive within their respective schools.

Sayre Upper School students are kicking

off a week of incentive days March 2 offering a free “dress down day” to any student who brings in five cans of fruit. Similar incentives continue the next week to encourage students to bring specific “much needed” items including peanut butter, beans and canned meat.

Sayre will award the advisory (homeroom) at their school that brings in the most food per student with three bonus “dress down days.”

“I am looking forward to sharing a cause that I am passionate about with my school and to know that it may open many students’ eyes to understand the importance of God’s Pantry and to become involved with the organization is very exciting,” Sayre junior Ellie Miller, school food drive organizer, said. “I believe that it is important to help God’s Pantry because hunger is such a pressing issue in society today.”

Lexington Christian Academy students are also competing for that highly coveted prize of a “dress down day” and all schools are in the running for the food bank’s monetary prizes, which have been generously provided by Whitaker Bank.

The first-place school, based on pounds donated per student enrolled, will receive $500. Second place wins $350; third place takes home $250, and a special award will go the school that does the most creative promotion of the food drive (as judged by food bank staff).

Parents, businesses and alums of these schools can also support the food drive by making a secure online donation at www.godspantry.org. Just click on “Give” and choose “Fayette Food Frenzy” as the appeal. Make sure to type in which school you want to support in the “Comments/Special Instructions” at checkout.

Central Baptist Hospital first in U.S. to receive AHA

Accreditation for Acute Cardiac Care

Central Baptist Hospital is the first health care facility in the U.S. to receive the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline® Heart Attack Receiving Center accreditation.

The accreditation program — sponsored by the American Heart Association and the Society of Chest Pain Centers —rec-ognizes centers that meet or exceed qual-ity of care measures for people experienc-ing the most severe type of heart attack, ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STE-MI), in which blood flow is completely blocked to a portion of the heart.

Central Baptist Hospital underwent nu-merous on-site reviews by accreditation specialists from the Society of Chest Pain Centers. Key areas in which Central Bap-tist demonstrated exceptional quality of care to receive accreditation include:

• Activation of the heart attack team as soon as Emergency Medical Services de-termines a patient may be having a heart attack• Immediate transport of heart attack patients to the Cardiac Catheterization Lab to open the blocked artery or arteries causing the heart attack• Opening of a blocked artery as fast as the top 10 percent of hospitals participat-ing in the American College of Cardiol-ogy Cath/PCI registry

Through its accreditation program, the

American Heart Association hopes to re-duce cardiac death by teaching the public to recognize and react to early symptoms of a heart attack, reduce the time it takes to receive lifesaving treatment and in-crease the accuracy and effectiveness of treatment administered.

The American Heart Association’s over-all goal for Mission: Lifeline® Heart At-tack Receiving Center accreditation is to significantly reduce cardiac death in pa-tients by teaching the public to recognize and react to early symptoms of a heart attack, reduce the time it takes to receive life-saving treatment and increase the ac-curacy and effectiveness of treatment.

Symbiotix named one of the Best Places to Work in

Kentucky for 2012

Symbiotix, Inc. was recently named one of the Best Places to Work in Kentucky 2012. Created in 2005, the awards pro-gram is a project of the Kentucky Cham-ber of Commerce, the Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management and the Best Companies Group.

This statewide survey and awards pro-gram was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employ-ment in Kentucky, benefitting the state’s economy, workforce and businesses. The Best Places to Work in Kentucky 2012 list comprises 65 employers. Symbiotix has been named one of the Best Places to Work in Kentucky in the small/medium-sized businesses category.

Symbiotix, a medical communications

agency, was founded in 1998 by Tim and Jo Ann Rice, PharmD, residents of Dan-ville. With the Rices’ solid leadership, the company now employs close to 40 em-ployees, two-thirds of whom are located in the Lexington and Danville offices and the other third throughout the nation. Symbiotix—“Where Science and Strategy Meet”—is known for its strong commit-ment to providing strategies and effective medical marketing solutions to the phar-maceutical and biotech industries.

To be considered for participation in the Best Places to Work in Kentucky 2012 program, employers had to fulfill the fol-lowing eligibility requirements:

• Have at least 25 employees working in Kentucky• Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity• Be a publicly or privately held business;• Have a facility in the state of Kentucky• Be in business a minimum of 1 year

Employers from throughout the state en-tered the two-part process. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated employer’s workplace policies, practices and demographics. This part of the pro-cess was worth approximately 25 per-cent of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience and was worth approximately 75 percent of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top employers and the final ranking. The Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Kentucky and also analyzed the data and used its expertise to determine the final rankings.

Symbiotix will be honored at the Best Places to Work in Kentucky eighth an-nual awards dinner April 19 at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville. The final rank-ings will be announced at the event. A magazine recognizing the winners and their final rankings will be released for

statewide distribution at that time.

Country Inn & Suites honored with President’s Award

Country Inn & Suites By Carlson® in Lex-ington has been presented a 2011 Coun-try Inns & Suites President’s Award. The President’s Award is presented to the properties that achieved top scores in guest satisfaction as measured by guest feedback for cleanliness and consistency in meeting (and often exceeding) the brand’s product quality standards. Scott Meyer, interim leader and vice president of operations for Country Inns & Suites By Carlson, presented the award to Ketan Patel, general manager of the Country Inn & Suites, for the achievement.

Country Inns & Suites offers caring, con-sistent, comfortable hospitality with a touch of home and features particularly attractive for business travelers.

The introduction of classic dining ware represents an industry first among major brands within the mid-scale ho-tel segment. The brand also offers free high-speed Internet access and week-day newspaper. The distinctive product and service innovations, such as the Be Our Guest employee training program, have generated tremendous employee engagement scores and high guest sat-isfaction.

The Hamburg Journal is happy to provide the following business-related news from our area:


For many people, the time spent with their kids or grandkids, making memories that will last a lifetime, is what they treasure most. If you are one of these people, why not make a creative experience a family af-fair this summer?

The Berea Festival of Learnshops (July 14-29) has an exciting array of art, craft, music, cooking and writing classes that are open to adults and children – for an afternoon or a week. Depending on your child’s age and interests, you could share a class in Craft-ing a Corn Shuck Doll led by Mary Reed or Basic Woodturning led by Don Coy. You could throw pots, make candles, design fused glass pendants, learn to draw or cre-ate watercolor paintings, play the dulcimer, make baskets or tell Appalachian Jack Tales.

Some of the workshops are even designed with families in mind, such as Susan Mitch-ell’s Writing Your Family Album, which gives family members the chance to create their own heirloom in a book of special memories. Any kind of family – biologi-cal or blended, best friends or significant others, will treasure the memories found in these albums.

As any mother and daughter know, “dia-

monds are a girl’s best friend.” It doesn’t have to be diamonds, however, for Sally Gastineau’s Design Your Own Necklace learnshop. Any kind of jewel will do nicely.

There are classes exclusively for young artists, such as Luann Vermillion’s Paper-making Adventures for Young Artists. The Berea Arts Council will be offering daily “Treasure the Arts” camps for children 8-12, which allows parents and other adults to attend classes designed exclusively for them (such as Low Water Immersion Dye-ing Techniques or Introduction to Herbal Preparations).

Whether you take classes together or sepa-rately, you can share stories of your day’s creative adventures over dinner in one of Berea’s fine restaurants.

With Puxtahany Phil predicting six more weeks of winter, summer may seem a long way off, but it’s not too early to make your plans to attend the Berea Festival of Learnshops. Most classes have limited enrollment to provide more one-on-one attention for participants. You can view the entire menu of offerings and register for the classes of your choice at www.berea.com .

The Make-A-Wish Foundation(r) of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana is hosting a free training and information session for new wish-granting volunteers March 13 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Word of Hope Lutheran Church.

Wish-Granting volunteers are an integral part of fulfilling wishes. Volunteers serve as the liaison between Make-A-Wish(r) staff and the family - ensuring the family receives constant com-munication.

Wish-granting volunteers bring magic into the Wish Child’s home by asking that one simple question, “What is your wish?”

During the training session volunteers will learn about the history, mission, funding and wish referral process of the foundation. Volunteers will also be trained in wish-granting procedures and become familiar with fund-raising tech-niques to help a child’s wish come true.

Wish-Granting volunteer Pam Ritter has been bringing magic into the lives of children battling life-threatening medi-cal conditions for eight years as a volun-teer for the Kentucky regional Make-A-Wish(r) office.

Ritter, who has granted more than 100 wishes, said being a wish-granting volun-teer for the Make-A-Wish Foundation(r) is an easy fit for her busy life. “It fits into my schedule because I get to choose how many wishes I do at a time. I do most of my wish family visits on the weekend and calls to the family during the week.”

“Being a wish-granting volunteer is a personal reward like no other,” added Ritter. “I have met so many wonderful families. I am very lucky to get to know such special kids; they are much wiser than their years. I have seen their love

for life even though they are dealing with such terrible issues. They make me want to be a better person.”

Areas currently in need of volunteers in Kentucky include Ft. Campbell, Pad-ucah and Ashland. Anyone interested in volunteering must submit an applica-tion, comply with a background check

and attend a training ses-sion. For more information, contact Man-ager of Volun-teer Programs Tiffany Herron at 1-877-206-

9474 or [email protected].

About Make-A-Wish Foundation(r)The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threat-ening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Founded in 1983, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana is the largest of the 62 Make-A-Wish(r) chapters in the country in terms of territory, wishes granted, children waiting for their wish to come true and potential wish children.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana fulfilled 863 wishes last program year - more wishes than any Make-A-Wish(r) chapter in the country in the history of the nationwide organization.

Currently, the Kentucky region has 208 children waiting for their wish to come true. You can help share the power of a wish(r) by volunteering, contributing fi-nancially, donating frequent flier miles, adopting a wish or remembering the Make-A-Wish Foundation in your giv-ing by calling (866) 487-9474.

Home to both the Kentucky Artisan Center and numerous working artist studios and galleries, Berea is well-known as Kentucky’s arts and crafts capital. As such, its vision is to become a premier destination for lifelong learning in the arts.

With that goal in mind, the city sponsored a week-long Festival of Learnshops last July. According to Tourism Director Belle Jackson, “a learnshop is like a workshop only more fun!”

Hundreds of participants came from Ken-tucky and five other states to take classes such as Introduction to Blacksmithing with Jeff Farmer, The Language of Flowers with watercolorist Pat Banks, and Writing for Children with Nancy K. Allen.

With such a successful beginning, Berea is expanding its offerings in 2012. Between July 13 and July 29 there will be more than 80 learnshops from which to choose. The city is partnering with Berea College’s Ap-palachian Center to host literary classes by Anne Shelby, Marianne Worthington, and other well-known Kentucky authors.

During music workshops, participants can learn or refine their dulcimer playing with master instructors Maureen Sellers, Molly McCormack and Tull Glazener or work on their clawhammer technique with Kentucky’s legendary banjo player, Sue Massek. Massek, will also be joined by fel-low songwriters Roberta Schultz of Raison d’Etre and Mitch Barrett, to teach classes in songwriting.

This new emphasis on music and literary arts doesn’t mean that there will be fewer learnshops focusing on crafts and visual arts. Quilters (from beginners to advanced) can now chose between one-, two- and five-day learnshops led by master quilters Pat Jennings, Jennifer Reis and Victoria Bringle. Beginning stained glass artists can sign up to take a half-day learnshop with Dianne Gilliam to make a sun catcher, while those with some experience cutting glass can take a week-long course to make a Tiffany style lamp with overlays. There are five different classes in watercolor alone, as well as tradi-tional crafts such as basket making, broom making, candle making, wood turning, bonsai and Native American pouches.

Some instructors take a more contempo-rary approach, such as Lesa Geiringer of Powdermill Pottery, who will offer a wide range of opportunities for working with clay, from wheel-throwing to slab built, saggar-fired clocks, and Tim Glotzbach, who will teach Designing and Building a Sterling Silver Ring. There is a whole track just for educators, ranging from Jack Tales: Appalachian Storytelling in Your Classroom with Octavia Sexton to Creative Technology Projects for Next Generation Learners with Zig Wajler.

July may seem like a long time off, but it is not too early to sign up. Most classes are very small to allow for maximum instructor-participant interaction, and many people reserve their spots early. Go to www.berea.com for a complete course catalogue and registration.

The Arts Council’s blog at www.creativecommonwealth.ky.gov looks at many different aspects related to Kentucky Crafted: The Market, from collecting art to the experience of being a musician on the Kentucky Stage.

The Facebook page for the Kentucky Arts Council features many lively posts about The Market, including offerings by exhibiting artists and reviews by loyal customers. There has also been a separate Facebook page created specifically to promote performing musicians, which can be found by searching for The Kentucky Stage at The Market.

Twitter users can follow @KYArtsCouncil or @KentuckyStage to get the latest on what’s happening at The Market. Tweeters are encouraged to use the hashtag #KyCrafted. Twitter traffic is expected to be very heavy during Market hours.

The Market app has a handy “map it” feature to get you to the Lexington Convention Center from wherever you are, show hours, and a link to purchase tickets online. It also conveniently lists exhibitors and their booth numbers and

provides a schedule of workshops and musical performances. A bonus feature for non-Twitter users is that you can read the #KyCrafted tweets from the app. To download the app, go to www.kacmarket.app.gp. View The Market promotion on YouTube at http://bit.ly/KCTM12 or a short preview of the music at the Market at http://bit.ly/KCTMmusicpromo2012.

The boards, which can be found at http://pinterest.com/kyartscouncil, include photos of jewelry, furniture, musicians, mixed-media work, wood, glass art and many more categories.

Android and iPhone users will be able to play a fun game on SCVNGR, consisting of a series of challenges to win an arts-related prize after accumulating a set amount of points. Visitors who wish to play can download the app before the market at SCVNGR.com or at the app store on their smart phone. There is no cost to download the app. The Kentucky Crafted: The Market game will be activated March 3 at 8 a.m. Eastern time.

Shemekia Copeland: Presented by WUKYAt a young age, Shemekia Copeland is already a force to be reckoned with in the blues. While still in her 20s, she’s opened for the Rolling Stones, headlined at the Chicago Blues Festival and numerous festi-vals around the world, scored critics choice awards on both sides of the Atlantic (The New York Times and The Times of London) and shared

the stage with such luminaries as Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Taj Mahal and John Mayer. Heir to the rich tradition of soul-drenched divas like Ruth Brown, Etta James and Koko Taylor, Copeland’s shot at the even-tual title of Queen of the Blues is pretty clear.

The American Diabetes Association is pleased to announce that Logan Nicole Gregory, 17, is the

association’s 2012 National Youth Advocate.

Logan, of Lexington, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 2 years old. As the association’s National Youth Advocate, she will focus on promoting advocacy initiatives and encouraging children and adults to become involved in the fight to stop diabetes.

Logan has been involved with the association since she was a 6-year-old ambassador for the association’s Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes, and she has been very involved in many advocacy efforts since then. She has spoken at the Kentucky State Capitol, testified before a state committee, met with state and national elected officials and conducted letter writing campaigns. She was previously honored with the Public Policy Award from the association’s Bluegrass Community Leadership Board and the American Association of Diabetes Educators’ 2011 Advocacy Award.

“Logan Gregory serves as an excellent role model and inspiration for people living with diabetes. We are thrilled to have her join us as the association’s 2012 National Youth Advocate,” said L. Hunter Limbaugh, chair of the board for the American Diabetes Association. “Her spirit and dedication will be vital in our national advocacy efforts and a key part in the fight to stop diabetes.” Logan, a senior at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Lexington, is also involved with many fund-raising activities including hosting a fashion show, Runway for Change. She also speaks at schools,

special events, luncheons and sororities to raise awareness and educate people about the disease.

“I have been so fortunate to meet so many wonderful and influential people within the diabetes community,” Gregory said. “And while having diabetes was not a choice, what I choose to do with it is. As the 2012 National Youth Advocate for the American Diabetes Association, I can and I will make a difference.”

To learn more about Logan and the Association’s advocacy efforts, please visit www.diabetes.org/nya.

The American Diabetes Association announces

Logan Nicole Gregory AS iTS 2012 NATiONAL YOuTh ADvOCATE

When I was 2 years old, my life changed forever. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I have been involved with the American Diabetes Association since I was 6 years old, and as their 2012 National Youth Advocate, I am here to thank you for all you’ve done to help raise awareness about the disease. I am also here because I am part of the fight to Stop Diabetes® and I want to encourage your readers to join me by participating in the 24th annual American Diabetes Association Alert Day® on March 27,

Alert Day is held every fourth Tuesday in March and is a one-day, “wake-up call” asking the American public to take the Diabetes Risk Test to find out if they are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is a serious disease that strikes nearly 26 million children and adults in the United States, and a quarter of them—7 million—do not even know they have it. We have to do something about this!

Unfortunately, people are often diagnosed with diabetes 7 to 10 years after it has already settled in their system. When this happens, major symptoms have already developed causing harm to the body. Early diagnosis is critical and there are ways to find out if you’re at risk!

The type of diabetes I have cannot be prevented. I have to count for every drink, snack or meal and I give myself four to five injections of insulin every day. I’m committed to stopping diabetes because it is a disease that touches everyone. If you don’t have it, you know someone who does.

I am here to urge your readers to “Take it. Share it.” Make the decision I never had and take the first step to protecting your health and stopping diabetes by taking the free Diabetes Risk Test. With each person that takes the test and knows their risk for developing type 2 diabetes, the association is that much closer to stopping this deadly disease.

Take this opportunity to answer a few simple questions and share the test with everyone you care about. Take the Diabetes Risk Test by visiting the American Diabetes Association Facebook page, stopdiabetes.com or call 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2383).

From Logan Alert Day is March 27

With New Year’s resolutions in full

swing, you are probably knee-

deep in research about the different diets

and what will work best for you. Even with

“weight loss knowledge,” you may still be

confused about which nutrients you need.

With so many dieters looking to lose weight

in the New Year, people are cutting calories

and fat just so they can reach their goals.

Cutting bad fat is essential to losing weight,

but what about healthy fat? Healthy fats are

an essential part of any healthy weight loss.

Here are some reasons why:

1. Healthy Fat Helps Control Hunger

After we eat foods that contain fat, they

tend to linger in our stomachs for a while.

Good fats, like those found in fatty fish like

salmon and tuna and in certain nuts and

vegetables, can help us feel fuller for a lon-

ger period of time. Not only do these foods

help control your hunger, but these “good”

fats are beneficial for your cholesterol, your

heart and your overall health.

“Bad” fat, often known as trans fat and/

or saturated fat, is found in high-fat cuts of

meat (beef, pork), whole-fat dairy products,

and in pre-packaged snack foods (crackers,

chips, cookies, etc.) These types of fats only

satisfy you for a little while, whereas good

fats help control your hunger between meals

for a longer period of time.

2. Healthy Fat Helps Promote a Healthy

Metabolism

In addition to an adequate intake of pro-

tein and carbohydrates, your body needs fat

in order to maintain a steady metabolism.

Healthy fats are what help give your me-

tabolism the boost it needs for your body to

be able to get rid of unwanted, excess body

fat. Your body doesn’t naturally get rid of the

excess fat on its own, no matter how eager

you are to shed the extra weight. If there

aren’t enough nutrients in the foods you

consume (including healthy fat), your body

will essentially cannibalize its lean mass for

the energy to burn its fat mass (use your

muscles for the energy it needs.) This is why

a well-balanced diet is so essential when it

comes to promoting a healthy and effective

metabolism.

3. Healthy Fat Helps Carry the Good Stuff

Other than helping your metabolism

stay on track, healthy fat is also one of your

body’s best transporters. Fat molecules are

responsible for transporting several differ-

ent vitamins and minerals throughout your

body. Vitamins A, D, E and K are known

as fat-soluble vitamins, and are necessary

for good health. Inadequate intake of Vita-

min A, for example, can cause blindness and

other problematic conditions. Without Vi-

tamin D, your bones can become weak and

brittle. And without Vitamin E, you could

experience changes in your blood and mus-

cular problems.

4. Healthy Fat Helps Protect

Other than promoting a healthy metabo-

lism and transporting healthy vitamins,

healthy fats also help insulate and protect

your vital organs. Even if you have a smaller

frame, most “thinner” people will have at

least 10% body fat just for these reasons. Fat

serves as a cushion for your vital organs and

protects them from being bounced around

and from any type of trauma.

Anyone nearing retirement or already retired should conduct a profound adjustment to their lifelong investment objectives and priorities.

During their working years, the objective to create a nest egg was achieved with a priority of ‘GROWTH.’ Now that they have achieved

this goal, the objective must change from creating a nest egg to preserving it ... and the priority for their investments must change from

‘Growth’ to ‘Income.’ Failure to make this transition is one of the primary reasons retirees fail to experience stability, predictability and peace

of mind in retirement. Family Wealth Group specializes in Preservation and Income. We show clients how to create income that is stable and

unaffected by stock market gyrations. Reducing risk is not achieved by simply increasing bond positions and decreasing equity in an extended

bear market. Let us perform a no-obligation risk assessment for you and show you what appropriate risk for a retiree looks like.
