Lillywhite said meeting with knowledgeable professors for advice and help can be beneficial to students and help them get healthier. Jill Bryan, college of education adjunct, said being healthy inside and out starts with making changes that can last a lifetime. "If you are short on time, try high intensity interval training workouts to start being healthy," Bryan said. "These workouts can be a great option for staying in shape when time is an issue, as you can get an amazing workout in 20 minutes or less." Along with exercising, taking care of your body in other ways is also important. "The best way to have a healthy summer is to make sure to wear sunscreen," said registered nurse Cal lie Peacock from DSU's Health & Counseling Center. According to skincancer. org, people who first use a tanning bed before age 35 increase their risk for melanoma by 75 percent. If you are traveling somewhere tropical, or even staying here in sunny St. George, apply sunscreen that's at least SPF 30 or higher and reapply of ' V t A 1 ' A 144 Aypt,e afraz)R., ,. c,i11,3ett, 1 Ordi, ',op..

"Most of the time, fad diets promote extreme eating patterns, rapid weight loss and expensive foods," said Lorin Lillywhite, DSU health science adjunct and nutrition professor. "Eating in extreme ways makes people more likely to develop eating disorders or to binge eat afterward. Rapid weight loss makes a person more likely to regain the weight once the diet has ended." Lillywhite also said these expensive diets are not only bad for students' health, but they're bad for their wallets as well. She said the road to getting healthy starts with a better diet. "Start with your diet, and track everything you eat and drink for three days," Lillywhite said. "Ask yourself What junk food could you cut out? How could you increase your whole grain consumption?

Peacock said this is the best way to protect yourself. At a time when summer flings are in season, Peacock said you need protection and practice safe sex to be healthy. She said the Health & Counseling Center has free condoms available, and it also offers STI testing and treatment options. Another thing to keep in mind is how much water you drink, Peacock said. She said alcoholic drinks contain empty calories and are not hydrating, so make sure to drink water when you can feel yourself sweating.

Guests can Georges Corner Restaurant's the while enjoy atmosphere ordering a number of entrees, desserts and specialty drinks. wood-covere- BY JONN HOLLAND trippyjedi George's Corner Restaurant has a history in St. George and much of the city's own history is displayed within the restaurant's walls. Nestled on the corner of Main Street and St. George Boulevard, George's Corner began as a restaurant called the Big Hand Café owned and operated by George Pace during the 1930s and '40s. According to the history page on the website for George's Corner Restaurant, the Big Hand Café became an icon in St. George and was a place for tourists and travelers to stop as they tray eled through southern Utah. Those who remember the older restaurant may recall the sign, which was a big hand outlined with blinking lights and read "Especially good food." That is a promise the newer restaurant also stands by. "George's Corner was built in honor of George Pace," said manager Chevi Stowe. "His great-greNicole Pace owns George's Comer, and she wanted to create something that was in his memory and his honor, that would serve especially good food like he believed in." George's Corner is open from 7 a.m. to midnight, and because of that I wanted at grand-daught- er of their breakfast meals. As I perused the menu, the short rib hash stood out to me. When it was served to me, I found it was exactly as my waitress had described. It came with hash browns surrounding shredded short ribs, topped with two eggs cooked over easy as I had requested. I was surprised the meal filled the plate entirely save for the rim. It was especially delicious and so filling I could only eat half. I took note of the atmosphere as I enjoyed my meal and noticed the walls festooned with old pictures of St. George, shelves with old pitchers and signs from the era when the Big Hand to try one - Café stood on the very comer George's Comer is now on. The whole restaurant has a vintage '40s feel with its wooden beams and vaulted wooden ceiling. Not quite barn like, but how one might think an old pub and eatery might have looked in those days. It gives the restaurant a relaxed feel where you can bring your friends or family and just spend time together. "The atmosphere of George's is fun," said server Sierra Allen. "When you first walk in, it's family friendly, but then also you come downstairs and there's a bar area; you can get drinks we have a full bar where you can have a fun atmosphere." Allen said on Friday and Saturday there is live music, which helps to create the fun, lively atmosphere for families, tourists and anyone else who comes to the restaurant. I visited George's Comer a second time to try one of their desserts, again choosing something I had never tried before. I was not disappointed at all when a white chocolate banana nut bread pudding was placed before me, drizzled with caramel, whipped cream on top and garnished with a single mint leaf. I couldn't taste the white chocolate, but I am positive was that ingredient that made the dessert moist enough I could eat it with a spoon. Bar manager Kit Cassidy said, "We do most everything from scratch, so it's easy to be proud of the product we put forward." The price of food is affordable and not extravagant, depending on what is ordered. My short rib hash cost $9, which is not bad for breakfast, and my delectable dessert only cost about $5 you want to order the ribeye steak, be prepared to pay $21. tile though there are items on dinner menu that cost less than $10. George's Corner lives tip to its promise of especially good food and to that promise, they can ad( fun, friendly environment. George Pace's legacy is and certainly in good hands, good if you're looking for a place to bring your family and friends, or just want to gander at St. George's histot) from the days of the pioneers to the present, then George's Corner Restaurant is a place and you'll want to visit time time again. it long-standi- ng i t |
