Nutritionally
Speaking

DEAR
BARB,
I have been suffering with a poor
appetite. I do not want to get into
why, as that piece of information
should remain private. What I
would like to hear, would be some
action steps for me to consider.
Thank you, No name
Dear No name,
This is what I suggest for A POOR
APPETITE:
. Eat earlier in the day when you have more
energy
. Make the meal size smaller and more
frequent. Large meals can be
overpowering. Serve meals on small plates.
. The signal to eat is generated by the sight
and smell of food. Savor foods that smell
good and taste good to you.
. Eat what looks appetizing to you. Breakfast
food doesn't have to be for breakfast! This
is the time to eat whatever appeals to you.

. Choose foods that have bright colors and
have a taste and texture that pleases you
. Snack on foods easy to eat; yogurt,
packaged crackers, canned fruits
. Find a quiet and calm environment to eat in.
. Enjoy the company of those who make you
IHHOWHUULÀF
. On some days you may want to eat alone
with music or the TV.
. Separate liquids from solids. Liquids may

. Drink nutritious drinks or supplements
between meals
. Try warm milk or soymilk with spices like
cinnamon, ginger, vanilla or cardamom.
Milk has more protein than meat!
. Try to vary the foods you do eat; small
amounts of fruit, vegetables, beans, and
whole grains.
. Eat fresh-blended juices, fruits, or try
juicing vegetables
. Ginger tea will help increase your appetite
. Loss of appetite may be a sign of zinc

. Eat slowly and mindfully

Partners in

Josh and Shayna Levine with their twin

Life
Leadership
Meet Shayna and Joshua Levine.
Vivian Henoch | Special to the Jewish News
W
hen asked for the words that
describe the qualities of their
busy life together, Shayna
and Joshua Levine look at each other and
laugh.
“Ambitious?” Josh suggests.
“Organized,” Shayna counters.
“Blessed!” Josh offers emphatically.
“Happily ever exhausted …,” Shayna
chuckles.
“And Jewish!” both agree.
If ever two people were meant to meet
in their junior semester abroad studying
at the University of Tel Aviv, it would
be Shayna Loss, Rabbi Harold Loss’
daughter, and Joshua Levine, the son of a
longtime Jewish federation professional
from Atlanta.
Past president of NEXTGen Detroit
and the recipient of Federation’s 2016
Wetsman Award for Outstanding
Leadership, Josh sits with Shayna for
photos in the chapel at Temple Israel, the
synagogue where they were married 13
years ago. “I’m a child of federation — I
grew up in the system,” he says, “And
Temple Israel always has been Shayna’s
second home.”
Shayna and Josh started their mar-
ried life in Atlanta, but given a strong
network of friends and family pulling
for their return to Detroit, it didn’t
take long before they found outstand-
ing career opportunities here. In 2005,
Josh joined Telemus Capital where he is
now a partner and senior financial life
adviser. Shayna found an ideal match for
her skills in computer engineering and
project management with ePrize (now
HelloWorld) where she is a business
analysis manager.
They moved to Huntington Woods
