Show MARCH 23, 1983 If You Are Older, You favorite cook World Travel Developed Her Cooking Skills i If you are one of the older generation you may need more protein. At least that was indicated in a recent study involving men and women in their 70s. (The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 35:1982, 6) THE PARTICIPANTS were given the current Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein each day. The resulting tests showed that the older people were in negative nitrogen balance, meaning they were using more protein than was provided by the diet. Incidentally, that missing protein must come from the body protein sources such as skeletal muscle. Additionally, as people get older they tend to be less active, which adds to the loss of muscle tissue. The shrinking unused muscle must then give up protein which is processed by the body. Exercise, on the other hand, helps to maintain nitrogen balance and preserves body protein. OLDER PEOPLE also have a lower basal metabolic rate due to less muscle mass. Muscle is an active tissue and utilizes more energy at rest. Now in view of these current findings about nitrogen balance and protein intake in older people, it is important to be certain that, as you age, you get plenty of good quality protein, such as is found in egg white, milk, and meat. And it follows that everyone should have a regu By DONETA GATHERUM LAYTON - When Valayne Love moved to Layton over five years ago, her lifestyle changed. Valayne was raised in an Air Force family. She was bom in Texas, and lived in Germany, Montana, Panama and Clearfield. The country she remembers most is Panama. She lived near the canal during the period before the U.S. lease agreement expired. V WHEN VALAYNES father retired from the Air Force, the family moved to Utah. Both of her parents are natives of Utah. Valayne misses the travel and the excitement of meeting new friends, learning about other cultures and trying different foods. My mother likes to experiment with cooking. Whenever we traveled, we tried the native foods. Since moving to Utah we have always enjoyed attending ethnic food festivals and trying recipes that are given out at these food festivals. We have become accustomed to several Greek foods that we learned to prepare through attending the Greek Festival in Salt Lake City, Valayne says. of traveling has exposed Valayne Love to many varied dishes. This exposure has sharpened her own cooking skills. A life POUR OVER chicken. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour r. Spoon off grease and serve over rice. Valayne says this shrimp salad is the favorite dish of her husband. or until THE TRANSITION from a traveling Air Force family to the life of a farmers wife in Layton was easily made for Valayne. She keeps busy with caring for her family of three children and trying new things. I like to sew. I recently took a stained glass class. I like to tat. When I was a child, my grandmother tried to teach me to tat. She couldnt. I learned from someone else. Now my grandmother shows me new patterns. This is a good experience, states Valayne. e-- Four-year-o- 'rt: ld VALAYNE CLAIMS Jessica is a big help. She can slice mushrooms just like an adult. The sweet and sour chicken recipe Valayne is sharing with the readers is one that can be easily prepared. Boneless turkey breasts can be used instead of chicken.

New information suggests that the combination of alcohol and aspirin may increase the tendency for bleeding or delay and prolong normal bleeding times before clot formation. (New England Journal of Medicine, 306. : In these studies, alcohol had no effect on the bleeding factors when taken alone. However, it w as found that it ' does make a difference when you drink alcohol in rela- tion to taking just a single aspirin.

NELSON Utah State University At least once we ought to expand our view of health, fitness, and life. Lets think big this time around. It is a fascinating challenge.

But in the final analysis it seems that, when we establish an understanding of the relations between these complementary views of life, we will have a much better idea of how health and fitness on a massive scale really works. Hopefully, the global view might induce us to love and respect our planet earth a little more. There is a purpose for you and me in volcanoes, earthquakes, ocean activity, weather, and all such natural occurrences. On the other hand, our misuse of the planet adversely affects our health, fitness, and, ultimately, our very lives. Its immensity somehow boggles the finite mind.

Ultimately, your health and fitness is favorably or unfavorably influenced by what happens to all plant and animal life, by the quality of air that surrounds our planet, by our treatment of the earths surface, and a myriad of other happenings that most of us ignore, consider unimportant, or look upon with an attitude of I cant do anything about it.
