blood cholesterol w ithin a normal range Modem High Blood Pressure medicine hasn’t identified the cause of most cases of high blood pressure but even though the cause isn’t known fortunately there are ways to treat and control it If necessary your doctor can suggest changes in lifestyle and medication to keep your blood pressure in check Diabetes Diabetes or a hereditary tendency toward it is linked with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke Your doctor can detect diabetes and prescribe a program to control your diet and weight if necessary Exercise and drugs also may be prescribed to keep diabetes in check What You Can’t Control Heredity Although there’s no hard scientific evidence that heart attack and stroke are hereditary it’s true that some families have a higher incidence of these diseases In such cases reducing other risk factors (which can be controlled) becomes even more important Race is also important Black Americans are almost 33 more likely to have high blood pressure than whites Statistics also show that they are more likely to suffer strokes at an earlier age and with more severe results Sex Young women have a much lower death rate from heart attack than men After menopause apparently because of hormonal changes the rate of heart attack for women increases sharply although it never reaches that of men Age More than one fifth of all heart attack deaths occur before age 65 Stroke generally a disease of the elderly also strikes younger people at an alarming rate In fact about one in seven Get the fat out Experts call them “the buzzwords of the '90s” Still although people are trying to eat less fat tricky food labels and misleading advertising thwart their good intentions in fact the Centers for Disease Control says people are as overweight Uxlay as they were 30 years ago Nevertheless 67 percent of US consumers t foods experts say say they want to follow these tips: 1) Ignore a packthe age’s bright bold nutritional information on the back of the box instead Look for something that’s no more than two grams of fat per serving 2) If a package doesn’t have nutritional information don’t buy it 3) The best products are fruits and don’t vcgctables-n- o come in fancy packages 4) Finally if you must have a salty snack go for pretzels or light microwave popcorn much better in the amount of fat department than potato chips or tortilla strips Persons interested in working for the Fishlake National Forest during the 1992 summer season should contact their local State employment office to obtain information about positions and how to

availability and previous work experience A “great body” is not necessarily a thin one A Utah State University Extension home economist warns consumers against authors and organizations in the nutrition industry who are not promoting balance moderation or variety in daily diet and those who overemphasize body image “Some would tell you that only fruits vegetables and grains provide nourishment" said JoAnn Mortensen an Extension home economist in Salt Lake City “In the process they leave out other important nutrient sources” She said some vital nutrient sources such as iron and zinc are derived from lean meats and calcium from t milk products “Others would put you on drugs instead of encouraging a changed lifestyle and mindstyle" she said “Some may help you get quick results to lose weight but may end up ruining your health physically and emotionally in the long run” Nutrition robbers include those who “distorted” promote body images There are strong societal pressures of what a “great body" should look like “This fuels the fire of losing weight and of what or what not to cat” she said Without a medical check up including chemical blood analysis Mortensen said you cannot just look at a person’s body size or shape and know how physically fit he or she is “A is have high very subjective anyway-cblood cholesterol high blood pressure and even a higher than desirable body fat" she said “This is possible even though it is not visibly obvious that starvation and diets take away body water and lean muscle mass first—not fat" In contrast balance moderation and variety in diet promotes a healthy lifestyle It means not being too fat or too thin she said The United States Department of Agriculture has issued anew dietary guideline that includes a weight tabic from the National Research Council It shows a higher weight allowance for people 35 years and above than for younger adults “This is because recent research suggests that pieoplc can be a little heavier— about 10 pounds as they grow older without added risk" she said Research also suggests that for adults body shape as well as weight is important to health Excess fat in the abdomen is believed to be of greater health risk than in the hipis and thighs according to the USDA dietary guideline The guideline says to check your body shape this way: Measure around your waist near your navel while you stand relaxed not pulling in your stomach 2 Measure around your hips over the bullocks where they are the largest 3 Divide the waist measure by the hips measure to get your hip ratio The USDA said research in adults suggests that ratios close to or above one are linked with greater risk for several diseases However ratios have not been defined for all pxipulaiions or age groups Mortensen said you are most likely in a healthy weight range if you stay within the limits outlined in the USDA dietary guideline weight table A copy of the guideline Ixxiklcl is available at your local USU Extension office In addition she said you are in a healthy weight range if your waist ratio docs not place you at risk and you have no medical problem for which your doctor advises you to gam or lose weight She said eating right also means being more physically active to balance out calories This has the added benefit of relieving stress “Your personal stress levels and coping skills can contribute to your eating habits” she said "Your also be considered It must heredity plays a major role in your overall health tendencies” Christensen's Richfield Delta I'rioctt Kffective April
