Show Review - Wednesday, July 30, 1986 - Page 12 Good nutrition brings excellent health later Eating the proper foods can help Utah residents lower their risks of some health problems linked to poor dietary habits, including high blood pressure, osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease and cancer, according to the U.S. Surgeon General. U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop says many chronic diseass have been linked to the types of food people may habitually eat and that older people in particular should be aware of the connection between diet and health. Specifically, Koop says there are relationships between high salt intake and high blood pressure; low calcium intake and brittle bones (osteoporosis) ; and high fat and low fiber consumption and certain cancers: and cholesterol and heart disease. Many older Utahns who would like to maintain healthy lifestyles may not know what constitutes nutritious, d meals because of conflicting information from family members, friends and the media, Koop says. The key for older people is variety, because no one food can supply all the essential vitamins, minerals, proteins and carbohydrates for a healthy life. Koop's daily menu for healthier Americans includes: four servings of fruits of vegetables (a glass of juice can count as one); four ser-vings of cereal, bread (one slice is a serving) or pasta; two servings of milk or cheese (low fat brands for the overweight); and two servings of fish, dry beans, poultry or lean meat. Koop outlined the benefits of particular foods for older people. Dark green or yellow vegetables provide vitamin C and vitamin A, important for tissue growth, normal vision and healthy skin. Citrus fruits also supply vitamin C, needed for healthy gums and body tissues. Vegetables and fruits (especially with the skin on), as well as whole grain breads and cereals, are ex-cellent sources of fiber, which helps prevent constipation and promotes healthy digestive tracts. Koop says there is evidence that low fat, high fiber diets may help reduce older people's chances of cancer of the colon or rectum. Low fat dairy products - milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese - can help "ier neuyic c mi their calcium needs. Meat, poulry, fish, eggs and their alternatives - dry beans, dry peas and nuts - provide protein, which builds muscles, helps strengthen organs and helps produce blood, skin and hair. These foods are also high in iron and B vitamins. Koop's recent emphasis on nutrition and diet for older citizens is part of a national education campaign called "Healthy Older People," sponsored by the U.S. Public Health Service's Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. The program promotes eating right, exercising, using medications safely, quitting smoking and preventing injuries as ways of leading healthier lives. i : - ' t1 , i - V ;;. k j """--- v j ' ' - - i J i y e , . r ' - i 1" " ' ' ' Aerobics, my way.

Bayly's Corp. fundraiser a success A week full of activities to raise funds to assist a cancer patient has been praised as a great success by the chairman of the project at Bayly's Corp. in Pleasant Grove. Susan Fautin said the potluck lunches, the raffle, the leg contest, and Saturday's car wash, bake sale and yard sale were very well at-tended. They raised $1,384.57 which will be given to the cancer patient who is a sister to some Bayly's employees. The pot luck lunches were held each day with a different depart-ment being responsible to provide the lunch. The cost to the employees was $1 to eat lunch. In the raffle several prizes were given away which were donated by local merchants as well as some of the employees. Those who donated to the raffle were Steve Peterson Interiors, Barnetts V & S Variety, The Beanry, Wholesale Foods and employees Kim Dean. Lillian Norton, Dorothy Patterson, Amanda Fraughton and Betty Lewis. Even though it was a stormy day, Susan said that many people stopped to have their car washed. Items for the bake sale were contributed by the employees. The bake sale sold out by 1 p.m. The yard sale had a steady stream of customers during the day. The winners in the leg contest were Dorothy Patterson and Charlie Vanderpool. Anyone who wore shorts to' work could be in ' the competition. Fellow employees paid $1 to vote and they could vote as often as they wanted as long as they paid $1 each time. Susan expressed appreciation to Plant Manager Jerry Jessen who worked with them in planning and carrying out the project. Jerry has been transferred to another plant in California and will be leaving the Pleasant Grove Bayly's Plant nextweek. More than plays at Shakespearean Festival First-tim- e visitors to the Utah Shakespearean Festival in Cedar City usually expect to spend their evenings watching the three plays. What they don't expect is a day full , of other activities sponsored by the festival. "The Utah Shakespearean Festival has been designed as a total entertainment and cultural experience," said festival publicity director R. Scott Phillips. "For people who wish to spend their mornings and afternoons with us, we have educational and artistic events, and a few things that are just plain fun." These activities include a Renaissance Feaste, held each Tuesday and Friday during the festival season. Patrons are treated to the finest in Elizabethan food, lively entertainment and gentle ribbing from tart eirls and "the master of the salt." Each evening before the play beings, festival founder and producing director Fred C. Adams spends a few minutes orienting the audience to " the world of Shakespeare and, more specifically, that evening's performance. Im-mediately following that is the ever-popul-festival Greenshow, featuring authentic Elizabethan dancing, folk music, poetry and treats the audience can buy. Tuesday through Sunday at 10 a.m., patrons are invited to a free literary seminar. Held outdoors in a grove of tres near the Adams Memorial Theatre, these seminars are designed to enlighten and educa te the audience . Every Monday at 2 p.m. during the festival season, a special costume program will be featured. Although the costume program has existed for several years, this is the first year festival patrons will be able to see the show on a regular basis. Hosted by Adams, this program traces the history of clothing up to the time of Shakespeare's death. Other events include backstage tours, production seminars, special musical programs and the Old English Tudor Progress. "And, because of our location, festival patrons often spend a lot of their extra time visiting some of the magnificent natural attractions near here, such as Zion National park and Bryce Canyon," Phillips said. This year the festival is producing "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Love's Labour's Lost" and "Julius Caesar." For more information, call ' J- - J -- ", ' ' - . p J Mi. y oof : " "' I i? ,t ' " f.
