Pagan’s point is backed up by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture and
Forbes Magazine.

In 2018, says the USDA, Americans
ate more red meat and poultry than
ever before: an average of 222.2 pounds
per person, which was up from 216.9
pounds in 2017. In 1818 or 1918 the vast
majority of the country’s population
consumed far less meat.

At the same time, Forbes reports 73
percent of the American adult popula-
tion consumes at least some alcohol.

So what, exactly, causes gout? Uric
acid, according to the Mayo Clinic.

It says, “Your body produces uric
acid when it breaks down purines
which are substances that are found
naturally in your body,” but adds “pu-
rines are also found in certain foods,
such as steak, organ meats and sea-
food. Other foods also promote higher
levels of uric acid, such as alcoholic
beverages, especially beer, and drinks
sweetened with fruit sugar (fructose).

“Normally, uric acid dissolves in
your blood and passes through your
kidneys into your urine. But some-
times either your body produces too
much uric acid or your kidneys excrete
too little uric acid. When this happens,
uric acid can build up, forming sharp,
needle-like urate crystals in a joint or
surrounding tissue that cause pain, in-
flammation and swelling.”

That’s gout – which Pagan says has
“a genetic component to it” as well. You
may be pre-disposed to gout based on
your genes. “Gout has become more
common in the United States in the
past two decades, in part because of
the nation’s obesity crisis and a greater
frequency of high blood pressure, new
research indicates,” according to Web-
MD.com. “The condition now affects
about 8.3 million people, or 4 percent
of the population. And the risk of get-
ting gout increases with age.”

The good news is that gout “is a very
treatable disorder,” according to Pagan.
“It’s usually fairly easy to pick up on and
can be prevented with minor limita-
tions to diet [and] with medication.”

Those medications could include
Colchicine, Indomethacin, Proboscide-
an and assorted anti-inflammatories,

Why Diane Keaton is your new ageless style inspiration

BY CHLOE MACDONNELL
Telegraph

In a world where there are
hundreds and thousands of fash-
ion influencers, it takes a lot to get
noticed on Instagram. But forget the
latest attention-seeking antics from the
Kardashian family or the street style set
vying for likes; there’s an unexpected
celebrity-turned-style icon that I’ve re-
cently begun to follow assiduously for
their daily outfit posts. Step forward,
Diane Keaton.

The actor first joined the social net-
working site in 2015 with a post of the
artist Robert Gober’s candlestick. She
followed it up by seemingly ignoring
the app for a couple of months before
then posting sporadic images of her
dog Emmie and her favorite artworks
alongside promotional posts for
her wine brand “The Keaton Red.”
However, fast forward to the end of
2018 and mirror selfies taken by Ke-
aton slowly began to creep in, and so
far in 2019 have continued to become a
regular fixture, amassing Keaton over
700,000 followers along the way.

‘Shores’ home is serene retreat just minutes from central beach

BY SAMANTHA ROHLFING BAITA
Staff Writer

The Shores is a very private, gated
enclave just north of Indian River
Shores on A1A, where charming
brick-paved streets wind through
tree-shaded neighborhoods. The
gracious, lakefront residence at 141
Island Sanctuary is a secluded ha-
ven, tucked away “far from the mad-
ding crowd,” while also convenient
to shops, dining, golf and the blue
Atlantic.

Another coveted aspect of the sub-
division is its proximity to one of the
area’s iconic byways – Jungle Trail –
a scenic and historic shell road that
runs along the Indian River Lagoon
and is a favorite of bikers and hikers.

From the home’s curved drive-
way, a brick walkway leads past low
foliage and slender palms to the re-
cessed brick entry, its trio of graceful
arches stretching between the east
and west wings. Another threesome

with clear glass panels – open into

glass mahogany French doors, the white crown molding and recessed
enclosed lanai, spacious pool patio lighting add to the light and airy am-
biance.

Your Vero Beach Newsweekly ™ Vero Beach 32963 / March 21, 2019 77

REAL ESTATE

With a trio of doors or archways in
every wall from the entry to the la-
nai and pool deck, the house can be
opened up front to back, if desired,
making it ideal for all sorts of enter-
taining, a feature the owners, Diane
and Jim Archer, have always greatly
appreciated and utilized.

The west wing contains the luxuri-
ous master suite, a relaxing sanctu-
ary. The light-filled master bedroom
features a beautiful bay, spacious
enough to accommodate a sitting
area if desired, an ideal spot in which
to read, chat, contemplate or simply
enjoy the soothing view of pool and
lake. The three bay windows and
two more on the west side allow
this room to glow with gentle, ambi-
ent light. Double French doors open
onto the enclosed lanai.

The master bath sports subtle
lime-green and raspberry pin-
striped wall covering, a handsome,
sand-hued marble corner shower
and, beneath a double window, a free
standing, footed soaking tub. There
are two vanities and a water closet
and, flanking the hallway entrance,
a pair of roomy walk-in closets.

Between the master suite and the

en suite guest room also located in
the west wing is the home’s most
striking room, an impressive execu-
tive office. The glowing Brazilian
wood floors and white coffered ceil-
ing with its exposed dark beams per-
fectly set off the room’s focal point:
a dark wood, wall-to-wall unit with
set-in window – storage drawers be-
low with ceiling-high display shelv-
ing above, against a barn door red
backdrop, lit for dramatic effect.
