We get all kinds of calls from scientific questions to simple problems, said the Utah State University Extension Service home economist for Davis County. We had a lady call who was allergic to lactose. She needed to know the ingredient names that contain lactose. We found the list and mailed them to her, Mathis said. The USU Extension Service has a wealth of information on everything from peach trees to planning a wedding. As a branch of Utah State University, it can draw on USUs teaching and research findings to help residents in the communities they serve. We are a liaison with the public, Mathis said. We disseminate educational information. That is one of the most challenging problems of the Extension Service: to get the information to the people, she said. Her office has a variety of pamphlets as well as experts to answer consumer questions. From August to October, 90 percent of our consumer calls are related to home canning, Mathis explained. The rest of the year they are on a variety of topics. Not only can the Extension Service answer most consumer questions, it also provides workshops and programs for community groups. We develop programs after what ciding the de- community needs. We work with a volunteer advisory board made up of people from the area, she said. Mathis has a masters degree in human development from Colorado State University and a home economics degree from Utah State. She has taught home economics in junior high school but her real love is the Extension Service.

She feels that the greatest challenge for women today is managing time and energy to provide the quality of life they want. We now have many women V n Cr ' y who are bread winners in the family and that adds more pressure on them and many families are living from paycheck to paycheck. We try to address these prob- lems in the workshops and symposiums we offer. We use the people that have experiences on the subject to teach the workshops. Sometimes the speakers are from the community or they might be from Utah State, she said. We are doing more things in the evening because more and more women are working, Mathis said. We used to teach home production making clothes, probut now we teach cessing food homemakers how to make intelligent decisions, she said. We are trying to gear our programs to meet the needs of the people of today. When the Extension Service agents receive a call, they first check to see if they have the information on hand. 544-160- 544-735- Syracuse scouts collecting aluminum 4 USU Extension Service home economist Jo Ann Mathis handles questions on all types from canning peaches to of concerns a planning wedding. , After the day is done and the calls answered, Mathis goes home to her condominium in Centerville that she is currently redecor- The Extension office is a friendly place to call or visit and the people are very willing to answer ating, and, like working women everywhere, just relaxes.

We exercise too little, we smoke too much, we are too stressed, and we eat poorly. Gary Player said, The greatest danger to the human body is the knife and fork. Our American diet consisting of high fats and cholesterol may be killing us. One survey revealed that on a typical day, 40 percent of Americans dont have a single piece of fruit; 70 percent dont eat any vegetables, and 80 percent pass e this problem. In the document, Dr. C. Everett Koop gives Americans advice that he hopes will have the same impact that the 1964 report on smoking did. Most of us are familiar with the warning label that appears on cigarette packages telling us that smoking may be hazardous to our health. One nutritionist has suggested a similar message be printed on some foods: The Surgeon General has determined that too much fat and cholesterol may be hazardous to your foods. Read labels carefully to uncover the hidden sources of 712-pag- , Fitness & Health breads and other grains and cereals. Instead Americans eat an excess of dietary fat in the form of hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, ice cream, and other common junk up whole-grai- n high-fib- er foods. Fat in the American diet accounts for at least 37 percent of the calorie intake of most individuals. This is far above the rec0 ommended percent. the Surgeon General Recently issued a document addressing 25-3- health. Some of the recommendations made in the Surgeon Generals report can be summarized as fol- fat. Eat less salt. I recommend to my patients that they add no salt to food when cooking, avoid using the salt shaker at the table, and keep salty junk foods to a minimum. ' Cholesterol was mentioned in the report: 60 million Americans may have high blood cholesterol levels. I recommend that everyone know what their blood cholesterol level is. Eat more complex carbohydrates and fiber, such as whole grains, vegetables, legumes and fruits. Maintain desireable body weight.

There are many weight loss programs and it seems that everyone has the right one for you. When I am asked about weight loss I usually recommend one of the following: Use moderation. Crash diets are not recommended. Quick weight loss seems less likely to effect stay off and a can occur: rapid weight loss, weight gain, then weight loss, etc. Studies have shown that this situation puts a person at risk for medical problems. The ideal amount of weight loss is 3 pounds per week. This slow, consistent amount is best tolerated by the body and is more likely to stay off. roller-coast- 773-844- p. 1.
