Show FRIDAY, JANUARY THE SALT LAKE TIMES 3, 1969 PigiNfni Utah is Home to 580 Registered Pension Plans Welfare, ' Utah is home base to 580 Simple Changes in Eating Habits Can Protect Hearts of the 157,700 welfare and pension plana on file with the U.S. Department of Labor as of April, 1968, a study by the Department pointed out. Many healthy persons may unknowingly be increasing their risk of heart attack by eating a typical American diet, the Utah Heart Assn, warns, but moderate changes in such a diet can reduce this risk. One aim should be to cut down on the intake of cholesterol and saturated fats, which contribute to atheroscclerosis, a form of hardening of the arteries underlying most heart attacks. At the same time, there are other goals to keep in mind maintenance of a nutritionally adequate diet and, through calorie control, remaining at a desirable weight. To help achieve these aims, the Heart Association suggests certain foods that should be used more sparingly, or not at all. Changes in eating habits can be applied to every meal of the day and in every course of the meal from appetizer to dessert literally from soup to nuts and are low in saturated fats. Chicken, turkey, veal and fish are low in saturated fats, and should be used in most of the meat during the week. No more than five meals a week should include beef, lamb, pork or ham. At that, the housewife should chose lean cuts of these meats and trim off visible fat before cooking. Bake, broil, roast or stew the meats and discard the liquid fats which cook out. Certain high protein vegetables dried beans and peas, baked beans, lentils, occasionally may be used in place of meat. Three to four ounces of cooked meat or fish not including bone or fat Basic information about the plans is filed with the Depart- ments Office of Labor-Manage- d ment and Welfare-PensioRe: ports. s of one Utah has percent (0.4) of the Nation's welfare and pension plans. The ratio of welfare to pension plans s about the same as in the Nation as a whole, more than three. out of four being welfare plans, with ten providing both welfare and pension benefits. Of all plans, a shade over half provide, hospitalization, nearly half carry surgical benefits, and almost as many have life insurance and medical provisions. Only 2.3 percent have a formal provision for paid sick leave. Nearly nine out of ten plans of all types are administered by the employer or an employer association; fewer than seven percent are jointly administered, and 1.8 percent are administered by employee organizations alone. Nearly half of all plans are financed solely by the employer; almost the same number are financed jointly by the employer and the employees. Fewer than one in twelve is financed by employees alone, either individually or through their unions.

More than nine out of every ten acres of commercial forestland owned, leased, or harvested oy major forest products industries are open to public hunting without charge, the Wildlife Management Institute reports. A survey covering 65,688,333 acres of commercial forests involving 234 major firms shows that the largest acreage, 49.2 million, is open without charge to hunters and there is no requirement that sportsmen secure a company permit before going on the land. Nearly 7 million acres more also, are open for free hunting, but sportsmen are required to apply for a company permit. Commercial forest lands open to hunting for a fee involve 2.1 million acres. Another 3 million acres of company lands are leased to hunting clubs, and 163,000 acres may be hunted by employees of the companies owning the land. In all, the survey showed 93.3 percent of the industry-owneand leased land available for one or more public recreational activities, including hunting, fishing, boating, picnicking, and trapping. More than 95 percent of the companies contacted said they open their lands for the public to use and enjoy. In providing this public recreational opportunity ,the companies reported they incurred expenses of $7,038,850. Vandalism cost the companies $436,070. Unthinking and uncaring individuals caused these losses by destroying signs, thievery, damaging company equipment, property, and roads, dumping garbage, and starting forest fires. According to survey reports received by the American Forest Institute, 37 commercial forest companies say they have one or more professional wildlife managers on their staffs. or a similar amount of high protein vegetable is recommended as an average serving. Among the fat laden foods to be avoided are duck, goose, mutton, spare ribs, frankfurters and bacon and luncheon meats. The cholesterol rich foods to be restricted in use include eggyolks, the organ meats, liver, kidney or sweetbreads, and the shell fish crab, lobster, shrimp or claim. Since liver is very rich 'in vitamins and iron, it should not be eliminated from the diet. A four ounce serving of liver in a meat meal no more than once a week is permissible. A four ounce serving of shell fish may be substituted for mean no more than once a week. .Virtually every fresh fruit or vegetable may be used generously and regularly, except for olives and avocados, which are very high in fat calories. The daily intake of margarines and oils should emphasize the polyunsaturated fats, which tend to lower this cholesterol level. A note of caution also applies to the use of butter rolls, commercial biscuits, muffins (not English muffins), doubtnuts or sweet rolls, crackers, and commercial mixes containing dried eggs and whole milk, but skim milk fortified with vitamins A and D, skim milk cheses, butter milk and yogurt should- be used often. Fire in the U. S. claims an average of one life every 43 min- utes. In 1967, 12,200 persons died by fire. Doctor in the Kitchen6 by Laurence, M. Hursh, M.D. Consultant, National Dairy Council SO BE IT RESOLVED. be it resolved that during the coming year you will not: 1) drink too much, 2) eat too much, or 3) sit around too much. How many years have you said that? Too many perhaps, you admit with a groan. Well, lots of men are finding that they can eat and drink almost as much provided they are more active. Jogging is getting more and more popular around the country. Certainly the more you exercise the less you might have to cut down on overeating and drinking. Women find that taking ballet, or going to the Y for regular exercise and indulging more in sports helps control So weight It may be amusing, in a way, that a major nutrition problem in the United States is that people eat too much. It results from the tremendous system we have in this nation for food production and distribution. Plus our afflu- ence. It is ironic, however, when you think of people in our midst who do not get enough to eat or, for that matter, the millions of starving people overseas. For our own good, we could use more personal discipline. Maybe like the Spartans of old. So, in detail, what are some of the things we can resolve for this coming year that will make nutrition sense? First, if youre overweight, see your doctor and get on whatever regimen he prescribes and stay . it Hell whats best for you. If you are not overweight, your diet is undoubtedly at the right calorie level for you. But is it hi as good balance as it might be? I don't want to be fussy. But you should be getting two or more servings each day of meat, poultry, fish, eggs or cheese. You should also be getting four or more servings of fruits and vegetables ' and four or more servings of enriched or whole grain breads and cereals. Adults should be consuming two or more glasses of milk per day; teenagers and pregnant or lactating women four or more glasses; three or more glasses for children. If your family is typical, some members may be neglecting breakfast. Try to get them to have breakfast. Theyll feel better. Read labels when you buy food. Youll be more knowledgeable in your purchasing, more aware of where your money is going. Prepare foods to conserve their food value and their greatest appetite appeal. Here are some tips: Cook vegetables close to the time of serving, not earlier; and tightly covered in as little water as possible. Cook only until tender. In general, cook high protein foods such as meat, poultry, eggs and cheese at moderate- - or low temperatures. Use meat drippings and juices as flavorings for and other dishes. with know vegetables - -- |
