Summer survival ADVICE
Beat the heat with these summer tips By Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com Well, you live in Houston and while you’ve prepared yourself for a sizzling summer, it’s now close to the midway point and you might be reaching your limit for hot, humid days. If that’s the case, check out these ways to beat the heat. Places to go While many Houston museums, like the Rothko Chapel and the Houston Center for Photography, are free year round, others offer free days during the week. Check out the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum which is free on Thursday from 1-5 Photo from Wikipedia p.m., the Houston Museum of African American Culture which has its Houston’s diversity in Museums offer ways to stay active yet cool during the free hours on Thursdays from 6-8 Summer season. p.m., or the Czech Center Museum If you have kids, like free bowling, mypoppins.com/.

when temps continue to climb. One of these is to follow the 4x4 principle - During the summer months, setting your thermostat four degrees higher when you’re away from home for more than four hours can help reduce electricity usage and costs. When your thermostat is set below 78°F, each degree cooler may increase your costs by up to five percent. For additional tips, see reliant. com. To make your nights cooler, consider folding sheets and pillowcases, putting them in plastic bags, and placing them in the freezer until just before bed - that’s from mothernaturenetwork.com. For a less labor intensive nighttime cool, Real Simple suggests freezing a cotton sock filled with rice, then putting it between your sheets. As for summer time beverages, reader Jennifer Scogin is a fan of Advocare products. “Rehydrate is an electrolyte drink, a great substitute for Gatorade,” Scogin said. “The Pineapple Coconut flavor is tasty with Rum - so I’ve heard.” The internet is full of recipes for summertime hydration. One healthy (and quick) option is CucumberMint Water which takes five minutes to prepare. See myrecipes.com/ recipe/cucumber-mint-water for the recipe. Happy cooling!

Photo supplied When heading to the beach or any other out and about spot, it is important to protect yourself from the summer sun’s rays
Protecting your skin from damaging UV rays By Landan Kuhlmann landan@theleadernews.com Summertime is the best time for many – sun, sand, and the water call their names, and off to the waterfront or beach they go. But there is some very real danger if we’re not careful -- and some easy ways to prevent it. UV radiation is one of the leading factors for developing skin cancer, such as basal cell, squamous cell and the more commonly recognized melanoma cancers. Additionally, skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., with an estimated one in five Americans likely to develop it during their lifetime according to the American Academy of Dermatology. So how can local neighbors guard against the effects of UV rays? Further complicating the matter for potential vacation-goers could be the recent act signed into law by the governor of Hawaii, which will be the first bill in the country that will ban sunscreens containing chemicals harmful to coral reefs when it goes into effect in 2021. However, Alpesh Desai of Heights Dermatology says there are still
several ways to safely enjoy the summer months The best kind of sun protection, he said, is physical blocking, such as clothing with certain ratings that protects the body from UV radiation. For those just catch that itch to hang out at the beach in swim or beach-wear, however, there are also alternative sunblock options available, such as those with zinc and titanium oxide, which work by sitting on top of the skin to deflect and scatter damaging UV rays away from the skin. “Those are the top two ways to protect your skin that has nothing to do with those two components [that might be banned],” Desai said. More than meets the eye However, it takes more than just slathering on any product that insinuates sun protection – and Desai noted a common misconception between two widely varying products can make all the difference. While the terms are used interchangeably, there is a distinct difference between sunscreen See UV Protection P. 6B
Water is an essential component to everyday health. Proper water consumption will help a person to reduce their afternoon fatigue, regulate body temperature, process fat more efficiently, suppress appetite naturally and excrete waste products with proper kidney function. But, how much water does a person need to drink? The answer varies depending on the individual. The Institute of Medicine recommends that men drink 3 liters of water per day and women should drink 2.2 liters per day. Because body sizes vary, another commonly used recommendation is to take your body weight in pounds, then divide by two, with the quotient being the number of ounces of water that individual should drink daily. Using this method means that, for example, a 150-pound person should consume at least 75 ounces of water a day. On top of all these recommendations, you must factor in your activity level as well as the amount you perspire, as those differences may require an increase in the amount of water needed. Meeting these water consumption goals can be daunting for the average person to accomplish, but the great news is that you can use the foods you eat to satisfy your recommended water consumption target! The Institute of Medicine estimates that individuals consume 20% of their water intake from food if choosing the right types of food. To help increase that percentage, below are the top hydrating foods to eat daily. Cucumbers – Made up of approximately 96% water, this is one of the most hydrating foods and is also great for reducing swelling and getting a daily kick of vitamin C. For a new twist on cucumbers, try making a refreshing and cool cucumber soup this summer. Strawberries - This summer berry is 92% water and oh so flavorful. One cup of whole strawberries

is only 80 calories! Add sliced strawberries to a yogurt parfait for a delicious breakfast. Broccoli - This green vegetable is 91% water and only 25 calories per half-cup cooked! Broccoli is also a great source of fiber and vitamin C. Try roasting broccoli for a sweeter taste. Bell peppers - Multi-color bell peppers are 92% water. They are also a rich source of fiber, folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and betacarotene. Sauté a large batch of bell peppers on Sunday and add them to different dishes throughout the week: tacos, flank steak or salads. Mixed Greens – Adding mixed greens to a daily meal plan is convenient and easy. Mixed green salads are low in calorie, full of nutrition and 91% water! Always keep a large container of organic mixed greens in the house to use for a quick and healthy side dish. Cantaloupe – This tasty and sweet summer time melon is 90% water. Not only is it hydrating, but one cup of cubed cantaloupe is 80 calories and is a good source of vitamin C and potassium.

Understanding dry drowning For The Leader Summer fun is punctuated by afternoons spent in the pool or diving through the waves of the ocean. With swimming being such a large part of warm weather recreation, people of all ages have acclimated themselves to drowning prevention measures. While most people are familiar with the risks of drowning, they may have heard misinformation about conditions known as dry drowning or secondary drowning. Dry drowning and secondary drowning can occur after a person has exited the water, which only heightens the fears associated with each condition. Misinformation may have spurred many of those fears. The American Osteopathic Association says that, although rare, dry drowning and secondary drowning can occur anytime up to 24 hours after a person stops swimming. Dry drowning occurs when a person, typically a child, inhales water through his or her nose or mouth. This water then triggers a spasm in the airway, causing it to close, and can impact breathing. Secondary drowning happens when swimmers have taken water into the lungs. WebMD says this water can irritate the lining of the lungs and lead to fluid buildup. This is a condition called pulmonary edema. Dry drowning and secondary drowning can be dangerous, but the conditions are uncommon. Florida Hospital Tampa advises that these events make up between 1 and 2 percent of all drownings, and symptoms tend to show themselves by way of coughing, chest pain, trouble breathing, and feeling extremely tired. A child dealing with dry or secondary drowning also may experience irritability or a drop in energy levels because his or her brain is not getting enough oxygen. Dr. Katherine H. Hensley, MD, FAAP, a physician at Driscoll Children’s Hospital, says dry drowning, or what is more accurately known as “drowning with delayed mortality,� since dry drowning and secondary drowning aren’t medical diagnoses, is overblown. Symptoms after
a drowning incident or water inhalation rarely progress to death. It’s also important to note that swallowing water, in which water goes the route of the esophagus and digestive tract, is very different from aspiration, which occurs when water enters the trachea and lungs. Children who swallow water and do not have an aspiration event with coughing, sputtering and an inability to recover quickly are fine to return to
the water whenever they want. Those who aspire water and have continued symptoms later in the day require an emergency medical checkup, says Dr. Hensley. Summer fun seekers needn’t get overly distressed about dry and secondary drowning. However, the key to preventing any drowning is supervision while in the water and getting prompt medical attention if an aspiration event occurs.

Introducing
Contributed photo Harold’s owner Alli Jarrett proudly stands with new executive chef Kathy Elkins. Elkins had previously served as Sous Chef prior to her promotion earlier this week.
Harold’s looks within to find new executive chef For The Leader Harold’s Restaurant & Tap Room announced earlier this week that Kathy Elkins, Sous Chef at Harold’s, is being promoted to lead its culinary staff as Executive Chef and Sergio Rosas is being promoted to Executive Sous Chef. Prior to joining Harold’s, Kathy was instrumental in the opening of giacomo’s cibo e vino, where she worked for 6 years with founder, Lynette Hawkins. She also spent time at Hunky Dory and Better Luck Tomorrow before joining Harold’s. Kathy was born in Spring, TX, grew up in Magnolia, TX and graduated from the Art Institute of Houston in 2005. Kathy and her husband, Wade, are the owners and founders of My Yard Reaction BBQ (MYRB), which has received many accolades from their BBQ Pop Ups. Whether in the kitchen or in a back yard, Kathy has as a deep passion for all types of cuisine. Wade is the Assistant Pitmaster at Feges BBQ, so Kathy’s love for creating great dishes is a part of her family life. Kathy and Wade have two beautiful girls, Marley (5) and Ellie (3). “Kathy carries on an important part of Harold’s culture and that is using farm fresh ingredients. We are committed to providing our guests with delicious Southern Cuisine and utmost Southern Hospitality,” Harold’s owner Alli Jarrett said. “I am also extremely excited to have a woman lead our culinary team as there are not enough women chefs leading the way in this great culinary city we are in, or the world for that matter.” Chef Kathy has already added new dishes to the menu including a Peach Salad, Chilled Gazpacho Soup, Summer Pasta, and a Fried Gulf Shrimp Platter along with Southern Pulled Pork Tacos. She will continue to add her own creativity while serving guests with menu items that Harold’s
is known for providing. I am honored to carry the torch at Harold’s,” Elkins said. “Supporting our local farmers is something that means a lot to me. I’m so proud to be a part of a restaurant that works so hard to keep all of these wonderful people busy doing what they love most.” Harold’s has a tradition of hosting farm and wine dinners and that will continue with Chef Kathy creating at 5course dinner with farm fresh ingredients from Whitehurst Heritage Farms on July 18th. The menu can be found online
at www.HaroldsHeights.com Located in the heart of the Heights, Harold’s Restaurant sits atop of its neighborhood bar, Harold’s Tap Room, and has a rooftop terrace overlooking 19th Street. Harold’s offers catering, banquets, private dining and has a food truck. Opened November 2013, the restaurant “Knows its Farmers”, as it sources local, regional and fresh ingredients and is honored to have been named to Alison Cook’s Houston Chronicle Top 100 List the last 4 years.

UV Protection from P. 1B and sunblock. A sunscreen, though it filters or screens the sun’s UV rays and keeps most rays, it still lets some in. Contrastingly, a block can act as a physical shield. So, given the choice, Desai said sunblock can best protect your skin. Fortunately, according to VeryWell Health, many products sold today contain a
mixture of the two. But why are the distinctions – and other precautions – such a big deal? An easy solution Most who have visited one at least on occasion have likely had a dermatologist talk about wearing sunscreen no matter the occasion if you’re
planning to spend time out and about in the sun. It seems like simply a suggestion; but Desai cautioned that any amount of time spent with that sun beating down the back of the neck presents a very real and prevalent danger for which any beachgoer must account -- and can easily do so.
“We’re trying to prevent these cancers, and one of the few things [people] can control is whether we wear sunscreen and sunblock,” he said. “A lot of people now have sunscreen and sunblock as part of their daily routine.”

Shepherd Park Terrace residents celebrate 50th Wedding Anniversary
Dr. Stephanie Fulton

Staff photo Aladdin’s newest location on W. 34th is planning a soft opening this Thursday, July 12.
Aladdin officially opening its doors By Zarah Parker zarah@theleadernews.com After much anticipation followed by a few setbacks, Aladdin Mediterranean Cuisine is officially open in the Oak Forest, Garden Oaks area as of July 12. Owner Ali Nahhas has been looking forward to this opening since the idea first bloomed to expand here. The growth of the neighborhood and the idea of being a part of it and not just in it, is what made Nahhas so excited to finally open the doors at their Revive Development location. Being a part of a neighborhood means knowing the people who live here, changing to better accommodate the community, and greeting each customer as they come in—and if they’re frequent, greeting them by name. While Aladdin offers a variety of Mediterranean goods, like shish kabob and freshly baked pita bread, there will be a few changes to the menu to serve the neighborhood better. The new location will feature more kabobs, more appetizers, and be more focused on

salads, all to make the menu have more family-friendly options. Aladdin’s is styled like a cafeteria with food options that taste fresh and flavorful. “It’s good and it’s healthy, yet you still have flavor, and we’re known for our portions. We have vegan and gluten free options, and if you’re a meat lover we have that. The bread is puffy, a little sweet, fresh and hot.” Nahhas said in a previous interview with The Leader. “We’re going to make sure there’s something that everybody likes, so there are going to be some add-ons.” Other than delicious food, expect great customer service. Nahhas believes that even if the food is good, without quality customer service the business will suffer. He personally takes time to interview every potential employee to assure that they are good people, inside and out. Aladdin’s also recently won first place in The Leader’s Readers’ Choice Awards for Best Mediterranean. Meaning, most of the neighborhood already knows how good it is! Stop by and welcome them to the community.
