Not Live to Eat Think of Food as Fuel Preventive Medicine t ! tonttor by Helen Gent - Millions of Americans are questioning their New evidence coming forth is linking diet to cancer, heart habits. dietary protein disease, stroke and many other diseases. The typical high-fcholesterol, low fiber, and largely refined diet is increasingly indited as the prime contributing cause of these health problems. There are many more millions who have no dietary concerns whatsoever or just don't think about it. Which category do you find yourself in? Cancer is the second greatest killer (behind heart-arter- y diseases) and accounts for 26 of deaths each year. Every year more than 750,000 Americans die of cancer. Americans spend more than $32 billion each year on the direct health care cost of cancer. With disappointing cure rates for cancer, prevention is the best cure. And the best method of prevention is a diet consisting of more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes and less animal products. All vegetables are helpful cancer preventives and we should include a variety in our diet. Researchers are making tremendous progress in identifying foods that can help prevent cancer. Red, ripe, lycopene-ric- h tomatoes identified in one study as a potentially powerful cancer fighter. Lycopene, the pigment that makes tomatoes red, is a carotenoid and a cousin of Cabbage helps prevent cancer particularly of the colon Eating cabbage one or two times a week may reduce yourchances A study conducted in Japan discovered that of colon cancer by those who consumed the most cabbage had the lowest death rate from all cancers. Kale is one of the best cancer fighting vegetables on the planet. Kale is the richest of all leafy greens in carotenoids, powerful agents. Broccoli is very good in helping lower the risk of cancer. Experiments using broccoli reveal the sulforaphane it contains to be one of the most powerful natural chemical for stopping the growth of tumors. e. Carrots are wonderful too and are a very high source of Vegetables are best eaten raw or lightly steamed You've heard the old adage, "You are what you eat". This is literally true. Food we eat ends up as part of every cell in the body. In 1988, U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop announced that what we eat does cause cancer. Over the past decade, John A. McDougall M.D., researcher and writer, has been associating the type of food we eat with the many degenerative diseases we suffer from in America and other countries. His research into scientific literature, written in this century, has convinced him and many others that more vegetables, fruit, grains and legumes and less animal food promotes far better health. Since moms have entered the work force, families dietary habits have suffered With less time to spend in the kitchen moms have searched for "quick and easy" meals. These are generally foods that are high in fat and cholesterol and low in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. More processed and refined foods have been introduced into the diet. Cooking from scratch has become a thing of the past. Thus the health of America's families has suffered. Moms are you compromising your families health? Perhaps its time to take a closer look at our food choices. Daily Prescription Delivery Order by 3:00 P.M.

Most urinary tract infections occur in the bladder or urethra, the canal that carries the urine from the bladder to the urethral opening. What causes urinary tract infections? Most are caused by bacteria from the bowel that invade the urinary tract, Because a woman's urethra is closer to the rectum than a man's is, women suffer many more urinary tract infections than men do. Other causes include overstretching of the bladder and urine left in the bladder (incomplete voiding), Urethral inflammation can be caused by chemical irritants such as perfumed feminine hygiene products, sanitary napkins, spermicidal foams and jellies, and bubble bath. What are the signs of uniary tract infection? A frequent and urgent need to urinatePain in the lower back and lower pelvic regioncloudy, urinebloody urinechills or feverLack of appetite or lack of energy, or bothsandlike material (sediment) in the urine , How can I prevent a urinary tract infection or inflammation? The most important thing you can do to prevent a urinary tract infection is to practice good hygiene. Wiping from front to back helps prevent the spread of germs, and drinking lots of fluids helps the bladder flush itself. To prevent inflammation of the urinary tract, avoid perfumed feminine hygiene products, spermicidal jellies and foams, and bubble bath. See your doctor if you think you might have a urinary tract infection. Such infections can lead to bladder and kidney damage, kidney stones, and urine retention.

Answer by: Louise Young, State University Extension Clothing Specialist Now is a good time to go through your closets and put winter items in storage. It is also a good time to weed out clothing you haven't worm for a long time, As you make your way through the closet, keep these tips in mind. Always start with clean clothing before storing. Stains, perfumes (some contain dye), hair care products or body oils left in the SBA fabric fibers can intensify during storage and can permanently damage the clothing. Dirt on the clothing or crumbs or tissue in the pockets can also attract bugs or moths. Vacuum the storage area well to get rid of crumbs or dirt that may attract these pests. When putting clothing into storage, be cautious of areas with excess moisture, heat and light. Silicone packets can be used to keep moisture out and can be purchased in the household section of many grocery or discount department stores. For long-terstorage, steer clear of closets with bathrooms attached, due to the high amount of moisture. Storage temperature should be moderate-- in the 60's or low 70's. Items should be stored in areas that don't receive heavy sunlight. A darker area is best, especially for whites. m MothjJjalls. and i. cedar are commonly used to ward off pests, but the prevention tips above can alleviate most problems. If you do use moth balls, don't put them directly on the fabric. Place them in vegetable bags with air holes to allow the aroma to come out, but not overwhelm. To rid fabric of the moth ball smell when storage is over, wash the item if it is washable and dry it outside in the fresh air. Soda, vinegar or fabric softener can aid in the washing process. .Dry cleaning can also help get rid of the smell. Heirlooms should be carefully stored in acid-fre- e paper in a box. Refold the items periodically so become fold marks don't permanent. Be cautious of shrink wrapping, as it has not been tested for long-terstorage. Clothing hems do best if they are not packed air tight. m Loans Businesses in Beaver, Garfield, Piute, Sevier and Wayne Counties have until June 23, 1997 to file applications for disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SB A).
