Tony Stark’s PenthouseEven superheroes need downtime! When Iron Man (played by Robert

Downey Jr.) isn’t saving the world, he’s enjoying its spoils as billionaire alter ego Tony Stark. Here’s an exclusive look at the living room of Stark’s Manha� an pad, as imagined by production designer James Chinlund.

P Clint

Eastwood

1. The set was built on a soundstage in New Mexico; the views of the Chrysler Building you’ll see in the fi nished fi lm were added digitally.

2. There are soft, homey touches, like the shag rug and orchids, because Tony is in a relation-ship (with Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper).

3. The pedestal holds a prototype helmet from the fi rst Iron Man suit—a nod to Tony’s workshop, says art director William Hunter.

4. For the fi replace, “James had the concept of a Noguchi sculpture,” Hunter says. “We joked that Tony would fl y in Noguchi to sculpt it.”

Q: What are some fi lms

that have infl uenced

Clint Eastwood?

—Lalie, Hemet, Calif.

A: “I was raised in what they call the golden age of movies,” Eastwood, 81, has said, naming

1940s classics like The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,

How Green Was My Valley, and The Ox-Bow Incident as some of his favorites.

Q: Can you tell me more

about The Voice host

Carson Daly? —Z. G.,

Huntington Beach, Calif.

A: When he’s not on TV or hosting his

radio show, Daly, 38, is either on the golf course (he played in college and toyed with the idea of going pro) or with his 3-year-old son, Jack. “I lost my father at a young age,” he says, “so fatherhood holds a special place for me.

P Beverly Johnson

Q: Beverly Johnson

was recently a judge

on America’s Next Top

Model. Does she think it’s

easier to be a model now

than when she started,

A: She’s Katie Brown, 31, and she did indeed reach the summit of Utah’s Ancient Art for the commercial. To get the shot shown at left, the Colorado-based jewelry designer and author of Girl on the Rocks, who usually climbs without ropes, had to stand on the peak for nearly two hours.

since there are more

ways to enter the busi-

ness? —Charles, N.J.

A: “It might seem like there’s more opportu-nity because of reality shows,” says Johnson, 59, “but it has become more diffi cult for models because actors are get-ting the magazine covers and product endorse-ments.” Johnson’s life today is chronicled on the OWN reality series Beverly’s Full House (Saturdays, 10 p.m. ET).

I want to slow down and enjoy every second. Before I had my son, I was like, ‘What’s the next marker in my career?’ ” Check out his personal snapshots from The Voice at Parade.com/daly.

Does every living creature—

including insects and tiny

marine animals—have a

brain? —Judy Jubera, Thayer, Ind.

No. For example, a starfi sh is—literally—brainless. (It also has no blood. In fact, it’s not even a fi sh. For this reason, marine biologists call it a “sea star.”) Many other animals also have no brains, depending instead on a nervous system or at least sensory cells. Yet sponges, which are far from tiny, don’t have either of those. Jellyfi sh, by contrast, are bundles of nerves! (And no, they’re not fi sh, either.) There are brains, and there are brains. A grasshopper has one, but it can walk and jump without it. And a cockroach has a brain, but not like the kind you may have in mind. If you cut off its head, it will continue to learn! But not for long. Sorry you asked, aren’t you, Judy?

Here’s My Story:

I’ve Su�ered With Acid Re�ux for Almost 40 Years Now. Unless you experience it you can’t imagine how horrible it is. Every time I ate spicy foods I would get what I called “ROT GUT”. Like something was rotting in my stomach. But now I can eat anything... No matter how spicy. Even if I never could before.

Let me explain…

For the better part of my life I purposely avoided a lot of foods. Especially ones with even a tiny bit of seasoning. Because if I didn’t, I’d experience a burning sensation through my esophagus— like somebody poured hot lead or battery acid down my throat. Add to that those disgusting “mini-throw ups” and I was in “indigestion hell”.

Doctors put me on all sorts of antacid remedies. But nothing worked. Or if they did, it would only be for a brief period. And then boom! My nightmare would return.

Sometimes, I felt like I was dying. The pain was unbearable and nothing could make it stop.

But then my wife, who occasionally su�ered with the same problem gave me one of her prescription acid blockers. It was a miracle. I felt like I could live again. Because before that, I was just miserable. I wanted to kill myself. But thankfully, it worked, and worked well.

I felt great, until about one year ago, when I read an FDA warning that scared the heck out of me. It went something like this…

FDA WARNING! Using proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on a long term basis, increases your risk of hip, bone and spinal fractures.

That’s a particular concern to me, since many

acid blockers are PPIs. I’ve gone through two

back surgeries and bilateral hip replacements.

I had to ask myself, could PPIs have been

responsible for my medical woes? After all...

I was “between a rock and a hard place”.

Stop using the PPIs and I’m a “dead man in the

water”. It would be unbearable. I wouldn’t be able

to eat anything. I’d have to go on a water diet.

But that FDA warning was scary. I

knew I had to stop or else risk developing

spinal stenosis. My mother had that. And I

watched her die a horrible death. Her spine just

fractured. It was the worst death. She didn’t

deserve that. And neither do I.

I had to quit. So I stopped taking PPIs for

a day or so. But my indigestion was worse than

ever. I would rather take the chance of a spinal

fracture than to live like that again. I tried

everything. Even started using home remedies

like Apple cider vinegar. But it just felt like I was

pouring even more acid down my throat.

Then one day at dinner, a friend of mine

said, “Why don’t you try an aloe drink?” I said,

“Aloe drink? Jeez. That doesn’t sound good

at all!” The next day he brought me a case of

something called AloeCure®. I was skeptical,

but I was desperate! So instead of being an

ingrate I decided to try it.

I was shocked! AloeCure® tasted pretty

good too. It has a pleasant grape �avor that I

actually enjoy drinking. I decided to experiment.

I stopped taking the PPIs altogether and

replaced it with a daily diet of AloeCure®. Then

something remarkable happened… NOTHING!

Not even the slightest hint of indigestion.

And here’s the best part. The next day we

had Italian food — my worst enemy. But for

the �rst time in 40 years I didn’t get indigestion

without relying on prescription or OTC pills and

tablets. Finally, I just didn’t need them anymore!

I was so thrilled; I wrote the AloeCure®

company to tell them how amazing their

product is. They thanked me, and asked me to

tell my story... The story that changed my life.

I said, “Sure, but only if you send me a hefty

supply of AloeCure®. I just can’t live without it.”

But don’t believe me. You have to try this

stu� for yourself. I recommend AloeCure® to

anyone who su�ers with the same problem

I did. It gives you immediate relief. You’ll be

grateful you did. I sure am. It’s the best thing

that’s happened to me in a long, long time.

TRY IT 100% RISK-FREE!

The makers of AloeCure® have agreed to

send you up to 6 FREE bottles PLUS 2 free

bonus gifts with every order— they’re yours

to keep no matter what.

That’s enough AloeCure® for 30 days of

powerful digestive relief, absolutely FREE!

Three chefs walk into a restaurant. No, it’s not the setup for a joke; it’s what happened last month when a trio of celebrity whisk-wielders, Art Smith, Cat Cora, and Curtis Stone, convened in a Manhattan eatery to dish about how, in the midst of relentless culinary tempta-

tion, they manage to eat healthy and stay fi t. (Not one mentioned a high metabolism.)They weren’t just talking through their toques. Smith, 52, a former private chef for Oprah

Winfrey and a partner in fi ve restaurants, lost 120 pounds after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2009. Cora, 44, the sole female chef on Iron Chef America and cohost with Stone of Bravo’s new Around the World in 80 Plates (which starts May 9), shed 25 extra pounds after giving birth to a son three years ago. Although Stone, 36, has never had trouble buttoning his jeans, the Australian-born star of The Celebrity Apprentice and Top Chef Masters says his fondness for food makes regular exercise mandatory to keep his physique TV-trim.

The longtime friends and colleagues continually laughed and teased one another, but all got serious when discussing what goes into maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

PARADE: Which matters more: what and how

much you eat, or how much you exercise?

SMITH: I don’t think that you can do what we do without exercise.STONE: It’s all about balance. My way of achieving that balance is doing a load of exercise because I eat a lot of food. SMITH: I’ve known you for 10 years, and I don’t think you’ve ever had a problem with weight.STONE: The problem is I just absolutely love food.

So do you all work out every day?

SMITH: I run almost every day. I’m going to take my run in the park after this. I always keep a pair of running shoes at work and I have run-ning shorts on under my jeans.CORA: I will also be working out after this. When I’m home in Santa Barbara, I run, be-cause I have the beach right there. But when I’m on the road, I do the elliptical.STONE: Cat’s good. Cat and I traveled the world together [for Around the World] and she would exercise every day. I totally let it go on that trip. I just ate and drank.SMITH: I always run into you at the gym. You’re always working out.STONE: Not today. But when I’m home [in Los Angeles, where he lives with Lipstick Jungle actress Lindsay Price and their infant son], I surf.

Cat and Art, you’ve both lost weight success-

fully. What’s your single best tip for taking—and

keeping—it off?

CORA: Exercise is 50 percent of it. It’s a good way to start, because it makes you feel better. And cut out sugary sodas and fast food.SMITH: A wonderful big leafy green salad will change your life every day.CORA: That’s good. STONE: And drink a lot of water. I’d also say have some food rules. It might be “I don’t eat fried

How much he lost: 40 poundsThe turning point: “My doctor diagnosed me with high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and he gave me a list of prescription medications that I could take. But I wanted to see if I could [improve my numbers] on my own.”

What made the biggest

difference: Getting in touch with his inner jock. “Five years ago I decided to sign up for a triathlon. During training, you have to eat a lot of food, but high-quality calories. I learned to cook the food I love in healthy ways.” Today, DiSpirito has completed more than a

dozen triathlons, includ-ing an Ironman in 2009. Best advice: “Stay away from processed food, whether it’s premade pasta sauce or frozen pizza. It’s easier than you’d think to make your own, and it will not only taste better, it’ll be healthier, too.”—Melba Newsome

How much she lost: 50 poundsThe turning point: “I didn’t realize how big I’d gotten until I saw myself on Top Chef. Working late at night as a line cook, I would go out with the guys after work, drinking

beer and eating ham-burgers and french fries. Do that every single night for a couple of years and it’s easy to pack on 50 pounds.”What made the biggest

difference: Like many chefs, Wong learned very little about nutrition in culinary school and needed help implement-ing a healthy diet. “A holistic health counselor taught me to incorporate more vegetables and whole grains, since I used to eat a lot of pro-tein. That’s when the weight really started to come off.” Best advice: “Don’t fall for gimmicky products that seem healthy, like fl avored waters. They are loaded with hidden calories.” —M. N.

food” or “I won’t eat processed carbs after 3 p.m.” Establish a few rules in your diet that you just don’t cross.

If we’re establishing rules, let’s lay down some

for smart snacking. What are your favorite

healthy nibbles?

STONE: For me, it’s either soup or dips. I’ll make them up at the start of the week and keep them on hand in the fridge. So then whenever I get hungry, I can heat up a little cup of soup, or get some carrot sticks and some hummus.CORA: Mine’s probably a little light cheese, crackers, almonds, and hummus. SMITH: Bananas. Easy and portable. I love them.CORA: Be careful, don’t eat too many. They’ll constipate you.

CORA: Yeah, don’t dumb it down for them. I’ll sit around with a salad, or bring home sushi, and my kids will eat off of my plate. They want to try it, to eat what we eat.

Cat, you’re from Mississippi originally, where

even the pickles are fried. What’s a healthy but

still delicious alternative to frying food?

CORA: You can grill or bake, roast, steam, or do a quick sauté.STONE: There’s a million ways to do it, but it takes a bit more creativity. The beautiful thing about frying is that it gives you this incredible texture. But you can also get an incredible crunchy texture from raw vegetables and from things like dried kale that you dry in the oven. CORA: Drying kale is great. I also have a couple recipes where I coat fish sticks and chicken strips with nonfat buttermilk and crushed corn-fl akes. Crush the fl akes, roll it in that, and bake it really crisp. Art, don’t you do that?SMITH: Yeah, I developed an Unfried Chicken. Basically, it ’s fancy Shake ’N Bake with multigrain fl akes. It’s the No. 1 seller at LYFE Kitchen [his health-conscious restaurant in Palo Alto, Calif.].

Okay, but surely you don’t eat healthy all the

time. What’s your guilty pleasure?

STONE: You mean with food, right? [everyone

laughs] Tacos—because we don’t have them in Australia, so they’re relatively new to me. Once or twice a week, I’ll do a late-night run down to an East L.A. taco truck.CORA: I have ice cream, butter pecan. It’s my little treat a few nights a week. Give me a few bites of that, you know? We have a great place in Santa Barbara, McConnell’s, and they make their own.STONE: McConnell’s, yeah, yeah, yeah!SMITH: I love pizza. I met my husband [artist Jesus Salgueiro] over pizza. I need to have it at least once a week. But there’s a lot of bad pizza; I won’t put it in my mouth if it’s not artisan or handmade.STONE: No deep dish?CORA: Thin crust is where it’s at, I’m telling you.STONE: I don’t understand deep dish.SMITH: It’s too thick.

Cat, you’ve got four young sons [with partner

Jennifer], and Curtis, you have a new baby boy.

How do you get kids to eat healthy?

CORA: At [age] 3, start saying to them, “Let’s all make a family decision about dinner tonight. Do we want chicken or salmon? Do we want broccoli or edamame?” Give two options, not three, four, fi ve. The more invested they are in the meal, the more likely they are to eat it. STONE: My boy is too young, but I have a big veggie garden, and I get my nephews invested in food that way. I let them plant seedlings and then later they pick the zucchinis. They’re ex-cited to eat it because they’ve been a part of it. I know Art does a lot of that with Common Threads [a charity Smith founded in Chicago that teaches low-income children how to cook wholesome and affordable meals].SMITH: As Curtis and Cat said, you have to en-gage them. Treat them as adults; serve fresh foods, organics, sushi, curries, and things like that. Don’t dumb it down.

How much she lost: 70 poundsThe turning point: “With two Italian grand-mothers, I started cook-ing at age 4—and dieting at age 8—but I had a hard time fi nding a diet I could stick with. By age 15, I was close to 200 pounds. My life changed when I read that you can lose 10 pounds a year by cutting 100 calories every day. That was huge because I would never be able to give up my favorite foods—like desserts—forever.” Biggest temptation:

Writing The Biggest Loser Dessert Cookbook. “I pre-pared over 400 desserts

from 85 recipes and had to taste them all. Before I started, I made a commit-ment to eat salad, veg-etables, chicken, and fi sh the rest of the day—no lasagna, no fries.”Best advice: “Look for easy ways to shave calo-ries. For example, oven-baking instead of frying the chicken for chicken Parmesan saves 100 calories without sacrifi c-ing taste.” —M. N.

Biggest temptation: “I have to travel constantly for work, and it’s hard to stick to a regular diet when your schedule is chaotic. It’s very tempt-ing to grab airport junk food. I try to avoid that by always traveling with healthy snacks like nuts or dried fruit.” Best advice: Get on an exercise regimen and stick with it, even if you don’t see immediate results. “When I started, I could barely run a block, and there were months and months of pain in my legs. But I didn’t give up because it was for my son. Now I run daily and ride my bike everywhere.” —M. N.

How much he lost: 90 poundsThe turning point: “I’ve been a foodie all my life. As a kid, instead of car-toons, I watched Julia Child and The Frugal Gourmet. I kept gaining weight until fi ve years ago, when my son was born. I was 250 pounds and didn’t want to be that dad who couldn’t go to the park or run around with my kid.”

Who here has a sweet tooth, and

how can you satisfy it without load-

ing up on calories?

SMITH: I’m addicted to sugar. I could eat pints of the stuff.STONE: If I could make a Hum-mingbird Cake [a signature Smith confection] like you do, then I would be addicted to sugar as well. CORA: You can do fruit, with a tiny little bit of fresh whipped cream on it. Or use a sweetener like agave or a little honey.SMITH: I like to get really good, sweet fresh fruit and pair it with delicious Greek yogurt. That’s like the best snack ever, and it is high in protein.

CORA: And you can sweeten it with a little honey, too.STONE: There’s dried fruit as well. And, like Art said, mix it with natural yogurt. SMITH: It ’s so great now that yogurt is so mainstream.CORA: [joking] Wait until the Cat Cora brand comes out.

Last, but certainly not least: Is

there room in a healthy life for

chocolate?

STONE: Oh, that’s a tough one. I need to have a bit of chocolate in my life, I do.SMITH: I’m continued on page 20

SMART EATING RULES CHEFS SWEAR BY

1 Put down the spoon, pick

up a carrot. In the kitchen, “you can be tasting and feel like you haven’t eaten anything, but mean-while you’ve already ingested 800 to 1,000 calories in sauces alone,” says Michelle Bernstein, chef-owner of Michy’s and Sra. Martinez in Miami. Her solution: “Dipping lettuce or a carrot means my body doesn’t trick my mind into think-ing I haven’t eaten anything, plus it means I’ve had something nutritious (but not highly caloric) before the meal.”

2 Like to snack? Make it a meal.

“I’m a nervous eater,” says Andrea Reusing, chef-owner of Lantern in Chapel Hill, N.C. “Some nights I fi nd I’ve eaten my day’s calo-ries in croutons.” Rather than curb her grazing, she stopped sitting down to a meal after a shift spent tasting sauces and meats and found she wasn’t missing anything. “Breakfast-lunch-dinner is not always the way to go,” agrees Marcus Samuelsson, chef-owner of Red Rooster Harlem in New York City. “A lot of people in the world don’t eat that way, and they’re in great shape.”

3 Keep portions small. “The

most compelling portion of a dish is the fi rst three or four bites,” says renowned chef Thomas Keller of New York’s Per Se and the French Laundry in Yount-ville, Calif. The 10th spoonful of ice cream, the ump-teenth tortilla chip with guacamole—none are as great as the fi rst (or second or third). His advice: Have less, savor more. To Keller, the perfect time to part ways with a plate of food is when you’re still wishing for one more bite.

Clinically Proven to:


Ask the doctor about ARICEPT 23 mg for moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease. The highest approved dose of ARICEPT.You’ve shared so much with your loved one through the years. While you’re realistic about the nature of Alzheimer’s, as their caregiver, you want to do what you can. If your loved one is taking ARICEPT (donepezil HCl)10 mg, ask the doctor if ARICEPT 23 mg may help.

ARICEPT 23 mg was compared to ARICEPT 10 mg in a large clinical study of patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease. ARICEPT 23 mg showed improvement over ARICEPT 10 mg on mental function, though it did not show improvement on overall patient functioning. In the study, more people who took ARICEPT 23 mg experienced increased side e�ects.

It’s important to remember that while ARICEPT may treat the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, it is not a cure. All patients with Alzheimer’s disease will get worse over time, even if they take ARICEPT 23 mg.

INDICATION AND DOSING

ARICEPT® (donepezil HCl) is a prescription medicine to treat mild, moderate and severe Alzheimer’s disease. Before starting on ARICEPT 23 mg/day, patients should be on ARICEPT 10 mg/day for at least 3 months. �e starting dose of ARICEPT is 5 mg/day and can be increased to 10 mg/day after 4–6 weeks. Please take ARICEPT as prescribed by the doctor.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

ARICEPT is not for everyone, including people who are allergic to any ingredients in ARICEPT or medicines that contain piperidines.

Tell the doctor if your loved one takes nonprescription or prescription medicines, including those used to treat Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease; anticholinergic medicines, such as allergy or cold medicine; medicines to treat bladder or bowel spasms; or certain asthma medicines.

ARICEPT may cause slow heartbeat and fainting. �is happens more often in people with heart problems. Call the doctor right away if the patient faints while taking ARICEPT. People may also have seizures while taking ARICEPT. �ey may also have di�culty passing urine. Lung problems, including asthma, may worsen with the use of ARICEPT. Tell the doctor that the patient takes ARICEPT before they have any procedure that may require anesthesia, including dental and medical procedures or surgery.

People at risk for stomach ulcers or who take certain other medicines, such as aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-in�ammatory

drugs (NSAIDs), should tell their doctor because serious stomach problems, such as bleeding, may get worse.

In a study, more side e�ects were seen with ARICEPT 23 mg than with ARICEPT 10 mg. Many more people taking ARICEPT 23 mg experienced nausea and vomiting than those taking ARICEPT 10 mg. �ese side e�ects may get better after the patient takes ARICEPT for a while. Other side e�ects that were seen more often with ARICEPT 23 mg were stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, and weight loss. People of lower weight (less than 121 lbs) may have increased nausea, vomiting, and weight loss when taking ARICEPT 23 mg.

Other side e�ects of ARICEPT may include diarrhea, di�culty sleeping, vomiting, or muscle cramps. Some people may feel tired or may have loss of appetite.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects to the FDA. Visit fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

ARICEPT® ODT (Air-eh-sept oh-dee-tee)(donepezil hydrochloride) orally disintegrating tablets• ODT Tablets: 5 mg and 10 mg

Read the Patient Information that comes with ARICEPT before the patient starts taking it and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This leaflet does not take the place of talking with the doctor about Alzheimer’s disease or treatment for it. If you have questions, ask the doctor or pharmacist.

What is ARICEPT?ARICEPT comes as ARICEPT film-coated tablets in dosage strengths of 5 mg, 10 mg, and 23 mg, and as ARICEPT Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODT; 5 mg and 10 mg). Except where indicated, all the information about ARICEPT in this leaflet also applies to ARICEPT ODT.

ARICEPT is a prescription medicine to treat mild, moderate and severe Alzheimer’s disease. ARICEPT can help with mental function and with doing daily tasks. ARICEPT does not work the same in all people. Some people may: • Seem much better • Get better in small ways or stay the same • Get worse over time but slower than expected • Not change and then get worse as expected

ARICEPT does not cure Alzheimer’s disease. All patients with Alzheimer’s disease get worse over time, even if they take ARICEPT.

ARICEPT has not been approved as a treatment for any medical condition in children.

Who should not take ARICEPT?The patient should not take ARICEPT if allergic to any of the ingredients in ARICEPT or to medicines that contain piperidines. Ask the patient’s doctor if you are not sure. See the end of this leaflet for a list of ingredients in ARICEPT.

What should I tell the doctor before the patient takes ARICEPT?Tell the doctor about all the patient’s present or past health problems. Include:

Tell the doctor about all the medicines the patient takes, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. ARICEPT and other medicines may affect each other.

Be particularly sure to tell the doctor if the patient takes aspirin or medicines called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). There are many NSAID medicines, both prescription and non-prescription. Ask the doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure if any of the patient’s medicines are NSAIDs. Taking NSAIDs and ARICEPT together may make the patient more likely to get stomach ulcers.

ARICEPT taken with certain medicines used for anesthesia may cause side effects. Tell the responsible doctor or dentist that the patient takes ARICEPT before the patient has: • surgery • medical procedures • dental surgery or procedures.

Know the medicines that the patient takes. Keep a list of all the patient’s medicines. Show it to the doctor or pharmacist before the patient starts a new medicine.

How should the patient take ARICEPT? • Give ARICEPT exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Do not stop ARICEPT or change

the dose yourself. Talk with the doctor first. • Give ARICEPT one time each day. ARICEPT can be taken with or without food. • ARICEPT 23 mg tablets should be swallowed whole without the tablets being split,

crushed or chewed.

• ARICEPT ODT melts on the tongue. The patient should drink some water after the tablet melts.

• If you miss giving the patient a dose of ARICEPT, just wait. Give only the next dose at the usual time. Do not give 2 doses at the same time.

• If ARICEPT is missed for 7 days or more, talk with the doctor before starting again. • If the patient takes too much ARICEPT at one time, call the doctor or poison control

center, or go to the emergency room right away.

What are the possible side effects of ARICEPT?ARICEPT may cause the following serious side effects: • slow heartbeat and fainting. This happens more often in people with heart

problems. Call the doctor right away if the patient faints while taking ARICEPT. • more stomach acid. This raises the chance of ulcers and bleeding, especially when

taking ARICEPT 23 mg. The risk is higher for patients who had ulcers, or take aspirin or other NSAIDs.

• worsening of lung problems in people with asthma or other lung disease. • seizures. • difficulty passing urine.

Call the doctor right away if the patient has:

Keep ARICEPT and all medicines out of the reach of children.

General information about ARICEPTMedicines are sometimes prescribed for conditions that are not mentioned in this Patient Information Leaflet. Do not use ARICEPT for a condition for which it was not prescribed. Do not give ARICEPT to people other than the patient, even if they have the same symptoms as the patient, as it may harm them.

4Stretching before a workout is counter-

productive. Most of us

learned in grade school

that before exercising, we

should lean over, touch our

toes, and streeetttch the

muscles. But in the past

two decades, study after

study has shown that so-

called static stretching, in

which you hold a stretch

for 30 seconds or more,

doesn’t prepare muscles

for activity; in fact, it can

do the opposite. Those toe

touches will inhibit the

activation of muscles,

making them weaker, for

about half an hour. On the

other hand, evidence

shows that dynamic

stretching, or moving your

body through a range of

motions, leaves your

muscles and joints much

better prepared. Try

hopping in place 5 or 10

times, throw in some

jumping jacks, skip for-

ward and backward, and

then start your routine.

UPBEAT MUSIC CAN REV UP A WORKOUT. Leave it

to Bieber. In a recent study, British researchers asked

12 healthy male college students to ride stationary bicycles

while listening to music. Each rode three separate

times. During one ride, the six songs ran at their normal

tempo. During the two other rides, the music’s tempo

was slowed or increased by 10 percent. Though the

subjects weren’t aware of the

change, they altered their riding

in response. When the tempo

fell, their pedaling slowed and

their mileage dropped. When

the tempo rose 10 percent, they

pedaled faster and produced

more power with each stroke.

2 RUNNING WON’T RUIN HEALTHY KNEES. Decades ago,

researchers at Stanford University began following a group of

middle-aged runners. A few had mildly arthritic knees; none

of an age-matched group of nonrunners did. Twenty years later,

32 percent of the nonrunners had developed arthritic changes

in their knee joints; only 20 percent of the runners had. Nearly

10 percent of the nonrunners’ knees were now classi� ed as “severely

arthritic.” Barely 2 percent of the runners’ knees were that bad. Most

experiments suggest that running can actually protect knees: It may prompt

cartilage cells, which cushion the joint, to divide and thus regenerate.

1Never plan to run a marathon? No problem.

Many people who lack the stamina or desire to jog for miles fear that limited exercise would be a waste of time, offering little or no results. But new evidence shows that by one mea-sure at least, exercise of moderate duration may be nearly as benefi cial as long workout sessions. A recent report about exercise and mortality from the University of Cambridge in England concluded that a person’s risk of dying prematurely from any cause plummets by nearly 20 percent if he or she goes from not exercising to doing light physical activity (like walk-ing) for half an hour fi ve days a week. Working out for 90 minutes a day fi ve times a week will provide more protection against premature death, but less than you think: only 4 percentage points more.

5It’s never too late to get fi t. When Mark Tarnopolsky, M.D., a professor of pediatrics at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, took mice bred to age at an acceler-ated rate and had them start running as late teenagers,

the course of their lives changed. Within fi ve months (the equivalent of nearly 20 years in people), the nonrunning control mice were frail, gray, bald, and dying. But the runners still had virtually all of their youthful muscle mass, balance, mental acuity, and fur.

In another study, after elderly rats were made to start running, the cellular makeup of their leg muscles soon changed. The mus-cles began to teem with new satellite cells, a specialized type of stem cell that aids in the building and repair of muscle tissue. Their legs also displayed less fat marbling than those of sedentary elderly rats. The “positive impact of exercise,” the study’s author concluded, “may have an ameliorating effect in aging.” A few months of working out had made the rats, in effect, biologically younger.

Gretchen Reynolds is the Phys Ed columnist for the New York Times and the

author of The First 20 Minutes: Surprising Science Reveals How We Can

Exercise Better, Train Smarter, Live Longer (April 26, Hudson Street Press).

1 SWEETEN THE

DEAL. Recent melt-in-your-mouth studies at UC San Diego found that a bite of dark chocolate serves as great fuel for a light workout. “About one-half of one square [roughly the size of two postage stamps] is the right dose,” says study author Francisco Villarreal, M.D., Ph.D., a profes-sor of medicine at UC San Diego.

2 STAND LIKE A

STORK. Sturdy balance can keep you from hurting yourself during a workout. But balance degrades with age, and some of us never had stellar balance to begin with. To improve and maintain yours, stand

on one foot while you brush your teeth, sug-gest the experts at the University of Virginia’s Exercise and Sports Injury Laboratory. If that seems easy, close your eyes, too.

3 PHONE IT IN. Multiple stud-

ies have found that high-tech gadgets—such as pedometers, activity-gauging armbands, and fi tness apps—help people stick to exer-cise programs. Who wants to disappoint her iPhone?

4 LIFT TO LOOSEN.

Worried you’re becoming less fl exible? Hit the gym. It sounds counter-intuitive, but weight training seems to increase joints’ range

of motion, especially in older people, more effectively than static stretching.

5 SCRUB AWAY THE

BLUES. A 2009 survey found that 20 minutes a week—a week!—of any nonstationary activ-ity, including walking or housecleaning, improved people’s dispositions.

6 HOP TO IT. To build stronger bones,

try hopping around your living room. It slightly bows leg bones so they have to rebuild them-selves. Experiments with rats taught to leap between plat-forms found large increases in bone density after only a few weeks. —G. R.

like Curtis. I can’t imagine what life would be without it. When I eat it, it brings comfort.CORA: A bit or a bite?STONE: A bit. SMITH: What’s a bit?STONE: Well, four or fi ve pieces.CORA: Yeah, that’s what I’m talk-ing about! [everyone laughs]

How much he lost: Over 80 poundsThe turning point: “I never ate bad food; I just ate too much of it. At 30 years old, I wore size 44 pants and tipped the scales at 300 pounds. The weight put an enormous strain on my knees, feet, and back. I was in a lot of pain.”Biggest challenge: “The amount of calories I ingest while developing and testing recipes is huge. It’s not unusual for me to gain 15 pounds in a month. Now when I’m done, I go on a three-day fast to recondition my body to portion control.”What made the biggest difference: “I love Greek food—it’s what I grew up eating—but it’s really heavy fare, and I ate way too much of it. I started cooking more vegetable-based dishes and fewer meat-based dishes, and I cut my portion sizes in half.”Best advice: Quit the clean-plate club. “I used to eat beyond being satiated just because I liked the way it tasted. Stop eating when you’re full, not when your plate is empty.” —M. N.

1 It’s never too late

to start doing.

Age can be an excuse regard-less of how old you are. Don’t let it stand in your way—ever.

2 Find time for what

you love.

Even if you can’t devote as much time as you’d like to your new passion, every minute you spend on it is worthwhile and helps you plant seeds for the future.

3Do and tell. If you’re

excited about what

you’re doing, don’t be shy.

Tell your friends. When you’re frustrated, they’ll help keep you going.

4Don’t worry about what

everyone else thinks.

Some of the most amazing things have been accomplished by people others thought were crazy. So let your actions fl ow freely, without negativity, apprehension, or self-consciousness.

Santa Maria–Style Barbecue

FOR THE MARINADE

¾ cup salsa¼ cup tomato-based barbecue sauce ¼ cup liquid from a jar of

pickled jalapeños 2 tsp dry mustard ½ tsp salt

FOR THE MEAT

1 sirloin tri-tip or top sirloin (about 2 lb)

FOR THE SEASONING

½ tsp salt½ tsp pepper½ tsp meat seasoning

(McCormick or Susie Q’s)

FOR THE SIDES

Canned ranch-style beans1 loaf sourdough or French

bread, sliced in halflengthwise, toasted and buttered

1. Combine marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add meat; marinate for several hours. 2. Heat grill. (A charcoal grill stocked with oak charcoal is best, but a gas grill works well, too.) 3. Wipe excess marinade

from meat. Apply meat seasoning.4. Grill steak over medium until cooked to taste, usu-ally 25 to 30 minutes. For medium-rare, the temper-ature should be 145°F. 5. Let meat rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice very thin. Serve with beans and toasted bread.

Zac’s Tips

P “You can serve canned pinto or baked beans in place of the ranch-style beans.”

’Cue Him UpZac Efron, star of the new fi lm The Lucky One, salivates over this backyard crowd-pleaser

Growing up, we had a nice family dinner

every night, and if we had peo-ple over, Dad would get on the grill. He is a bit of a chef, so he would always whip up some-thing besides basic hot dogs or hamburgers. We liked trying different things, but this was a staple. Even my less adventurous friends, the blue-box mac-and-cheese eaters, would go for it.

This dish is based on a recipe in Born to Grill by Cheryl Alters Jamison and Bill Jamison. The steak is marinated in salsa so it’s spicy, but also a little sweet. The thinly sliced meat just melts in your mouth.

I once came across a Santa Maria–style sandwich on a menu. It was very disappointing—didn’t taste anything like home! If you’re going to make it, try it our way. It’s unforgettable.

Presenting the ��®

��

��

When we introduced the original Acoustic Wave® music system, Sound & Vision said it delivered “possibly the best-reproduced sound many people have ever heard.” And the Oregonian reported it had “changed the way many Americans listen to music.”

Today, the improved Acoustic Wave® music system II builds on our more than 40 years of industry-leading innovation to deliver even better sound. This is the best-performing all-in-one music system we’ve ever made, with sound that rivals large and complicated stereos. There’s no stack of equipment. No tangle of wires. Just all-in-one convenience and lifelike sound.

�� With recently developed Bose® technologies, our engineers were able to make the acclaimed sound even more natural. We believe you’ll appreciate the quality even at volume levels approaching that of a live performance.

��This small system fits almost anywhere. You can move it from room to room, or take it outside. It has what

you need to enjoy your music, including a built-in CD player and digital FM/AM tuner. You also can easily connect additional sources like your iPod,® iPad®

or TV.

��

��Use our 30-day, risk-free trial to try it in your home. When you call, ask about adding the optional 5-CD Changer to play your music for hours – the same

slim remote operates both system and changer. Also, ask about using your own major credit card to make �� with no interest charges from Bose.* Order now and save $100 on the Acoustic Wave® music system II. Compare the performance with large, multi-component stereos costing much more. And discover why Bose is the most respected name in sound.
