Feeding Your Soul

The only thing you can expect to dig into this time of year is the snow blanketing your driveway.
But if you’re searching for a yearlong resolution to stick to in 2024, tilling the earth as part of a
community garden would be a holistic option, according to new science from Jill Litt, a professor of
environmental health at the University of Colorado Boulder. Published in the Lancet Planetary Health last year, Litt’s research looked at beginner gardeners
who tended one of the nonprofit Denver Urban Gardens’ (DUG) plots for a year. She found that they ate more fiber and were more active than study
participants who did not take up gardening—results that you might expect. But those who gardened also experienced a greater decline in perceived stress
and anxiety, differences Litt and DUG executive director Linda Appel Lipsius chalk up to time spent outdoors, added physical activity, and, in particular,
the community in community gardening. That could mean socializing with fellow gardeners, participating in a group workday, or simply committing to a
cause. “[Community gardening] is a way to come together on a continued basis where people are depending on you,” Appel Lipsius says. “A basic human
need is to be needed.” And there is no shortage of gardens in Denver that need tending. This spring, DUG will open its 200th site, in Northwest Denver

on land abutting I-70. In addition to plots, the garden will feature trees and bushes planted around the perimeter to provide a sound barrier between
nearby houses and I-70 traffic while also producing nuts and fruit for the neighborhood, including sour cherries that the area’s Ukrainian and Russian
residents specifically asked for. Says Appel Lipsius: “It’s just a nice way to add further connection.” —SC

M.D. Columbia University

I am a board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in Denver

since 2008. I love being a plastic surgeon because I get to use
the scientific part of my brain that practices evidence-based
medicine along with the artistic side of my heart that reshapes
the body all while helping others. I know that surgery is a major
event for each patient, and I take that responsibility very seriously
to guide each person through their experience safely with a
great outcome. As a mom with two daughters I feel like I can
really connect with my patients on many levels to understand
their fears, hopes and wishes. I care deeply about my patients
and strive to give each person the beautiful and natural results
they are looking for with every surgery that I perform.

Capable of treating about 600 million gallons a day, Denver Water supplies 1.5 million people in the metropolitan
area with clean H2O. Here’s how the public utility makes our water safe for our bodies.

DISTRIBUTION
Around 3,000 miles of water mains deliver
the now-potable water to customers. To
ensure contaminants aren’t leaching into the
pipes post-treatment, Denver Water has
placed monitors throughout the distribution
system to continuously check the product.
