Saving Your Own Life for Less Than $1 a Day

(ARA) - How much would you be willing to pay to avoid having your
life cut short by a terrible illness? Most people would say,
"Anything!"

Jeff Bucher of Fond du Lac, Wis., believes the $1 a day he began
spending a little over a year ago saved his life.

Bucher's narrow escape began in November of 2006, shortly after his
41st birthday.

"I realized I was huffing and puffing every time I went up the
stairs," Bucher says. "Finally, I decided enough was enough. It was
time for me to join a gym and get in shape."

Bucher found the help he needed at an Anytime Fitness club near his
office - and exercising quickly became a habit. The fastest-growing
fitness club chain in America, known for its 24-hour gyms in small
towns all over the country, offered precisely the amenities Bucher
was looking for.

"The gym was quick and convenient for me," he says. "It had all
sorts of free weights and treadmills, as well as elliptical and
exercise machines, and dues were very affordable. After years of
doing nothing, exercising just felt good. I found myself thinking
about it all the time."

Weight loss helped detect cancer

In less than a year, Bucher lost 40 pounds of fat and gained 10
pounds of muscle -- and because he also acquired a new awareness of
his body, he noticed an unusual growth in his pelvic region.

"My doctor diagnosed me with follicular lymphoma and said I was
lucky," Bucher recalls. "Most people with my type of cancer don't
realize they have it until it's stage three or four. By then, their
prognosis is not good. My cancer was caught during stage one."

Bucher immediately began radiation treatments and within five weeks
was cancer free.

"This case is a dramatic example of how becoming physically active
can save your life. But for most people, exercise is a great way to
prevent problems from cropping up in the first place," says Dr. Marc
Manley, vice president and medical director for population health at
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota.

"Being physically fit helped me endure the side effects of my
treatment," Bucher says. "Now, more than ever, I'm determined to stay
in shape, so that I'll notice any changes right away if the cancer
returns."

Many insurance companies now offer their members an incentive for
living healthy lifestyles. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota, for
example, reimburses $20 of the monthly membership dues for members
who work out at a qualified gym at least 12 times a month.

"The health benefits of physical activity are well-documented.
People who exercise are more likely to maintain a lower weight, and
our research shows they have lower health care costs than those who
don't exercise regularly. So, from a business standpoint, it only
makes sense to encourage people to exercise," says Dr. Manley.

According to the American Heart Association, regular physical
activity has many health benefits. Working out regularly can:

Help to maintain a healthy weight;
Reduce the risk of dying prematurely from heart disease and other
conditions;
Reduce the risk of developing diabetes;
Reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure;
Reduce blood pressure in people who already have high blood
pressure;
Reduce the risk of developing colon and breast cancer.

"I can't say enough about the importance of physical activity.
People need to realize it's like the fountain of youth," says Dr.
Manley.

Bucher is a true believer in that concept. "As soon as doctors told
me it was okay for me to return to the gym, I couldn't wait to get in
there and do some bench presses and lat pulls -- anything to release
some endorphins. I just wanted to beat up the cancer."

"Exercising is the least expensive thing you can do to improve the
quality of your own life," says Mark Daly, Anytime Fitness' national
media director. "Our clubs don't have pools, racquetball courts, or
saunas, but we do feature all the top-notch exercise equipment most
people need. At Anytime Fitness, we're all about providing convenient
and affordable fitness options for busy people who just want to get
in, work out, and get on with their lives."

As for Jeff Bucher, he says his medical scare reaffirmed for him
what's really important in life - his family and his health. That's
why he recently expanded his Anytime Fitness club membership to
include his wife and their four daughters. These days, it's not
uncommon to see the entire Bucher family working out side-by-side on
elliptical machines.

Founded in 2002, Anytime Fitness now has nearly 800 clubs in 45
states. Monthly membership fees vary from club to club, but the fees
at many Anytime Fitness clubs equate to less than $1 a day - even
less when you factor in insurance reimbursements. Based on their
current growth rate, Daly expects Anytime Fitness to open its 1,000th
club by the end of 2008. To find the location nearest you, log on to

Whenever On Wheels, Wear A Helmet

gloves and pads for their elbows and knees, many neglect to
wear a helmet. Each year, over 150,000 enthusiasts of these

Resolve to Refresh Your Active Lifestyle in 2008

(ARA) – New Year’s resolution time is here. Many of us
focus on the new diet or exercise regimen that we promise
ourselves we’ll stick to … until the first business trip or
unexpected family crisis throws our routine out the window.
This year, instead of trying to fulfill an unrealistic New
Years declaration, resolve to refresh your active lifestyle
on your terms, doing activities that are fun and fit into
your already busy schedule.

Lack of time is the biggest challenge to achieving fitness
goals, according to a recent poll by IDEA, the world’s
leading organization of health and fitness professionals.
The organization recently polled more than 1,500 of its
members to identify the top challenges that keep us from
sticking to our fitness resolutions, as well as what is on
the fitness horizon for 2008. More than 60 percent of those
polled cited a lack of time.

“Exercise is fun when you find a fitness routine that you
enjoy and fits into your lifestyle,” says Jake Steinfeld of
CEO Body by Jake and Founder of ExerciseTV. “Burning
calories, feeling great and looking great on your terms –
now that sounds like a plan!”

Consider one of the following to refresh your active
lifestyle in 2008; who knows, you just might have fun in
the process:

Downward Dog – Relieve stress and burn some calories
through yoga or Pilates. Classes are usually smaller than
group fitness classes and are a great option for people
looking to ease back into a wellness routine. According to
the survey, fitness experts predict these activities will
see the most growth in 2008. Calories burned in yoga or
Pilates exercises: 230-250 calories per hour.

Drop and Give Me 20! – Already a popular group activity,
fitness boot camps are expected to continue to grow in
popularity. These classes offer nontraditional, in-your-
face fitness instruction, hold participants accountable for
proper nutrition and deliver noticeable results in as
little as 30 days. If you enjoy being outdoors, this could
be just the activity for you. Calories burned: 300 per hour
or more.

Bring Sexy Back – Dance continues its resurgence as a way
to burn some calories in 2008. Fitness professionals
surveyed are talking about Zumba, a fusion of Latin and
international music combined with unique moves that is
based on the principle that a workout should be fun and
easy. If you’re looking to unleash the exotic “diva” in
you, consider signing up for a fitness pole dancing class.
These classes not only get you in shape, but also are known
to be great self-esteem boosters. Calories burned: 280-400
per hour, depending upon your “boogie level.”

Get Personal – While it’s definitely an obvious
recommendation (82 percent of the fitness professionals
surveyed recommended), engaging a personal trainer might be
worth another look. Personal training provides a one-on-
one, customized experience tailored to your individual
fitness abilities and goals in a manner that is convenient
for you. So, if you hate to use weights, a trainer can
develop a program using resistance bands to achieve the
same goals. Smaller, more personal facilities are springing
up around the U.S., and many personal trainers are willing
to come to you – whether at work over the lunch hour, to
your home on weekends or to the local neighborhood park.
Calories burned: varies with exercise.

More, More More – There are many ways to burn a few extra
calories staring us in the face everyday, all that’s needed
is to take advantage of the opportunities. Some of the most
popular activities to stay active away from the gym that
are recommended by fitness professionals to their clients
include:

Taking the stairs – Resolve to walk up three flights or
less instead of taking the elevator. Calories burned: 10
per flight.

Walking at lunch – Commit to a quick 20-minute power
walk three days a week. Calories burned: 80 calories per
walk.

Playing with your kids – A quick game of tag can elevate
the heart rate and just may sharpen your reflexes. Calories
burned: 115 per hour.

Gardening – Putting a bit more “elbow grease” into
pulling weeds and planting flowers may have extra benefits
in the long run. Calories burned: 230 per hour.

Make your beverage work for you. Another unexpected way
to burn a few extra calories is to enjoy Enviga, a
delicious and refreshing sparkling green tea that gently
invigorates your metabolism. A recent study revealed that
drinking three cans of Enviga over the course of a day can
increase calorie burning by 60-100 calories among healthy
18-35 year-old adults. Enviga is a simple, positive step
you can take toward a healthy balanced lifestyle. To learn
more, visit www.enviga.com.

So take some simple, positive steps toward a health
lifestyle, like eating right and pursuing fun exercise.
Remember, weight loss requires a reduced calories diet and
regular exercise. Make a New Year’s commitment to a fitter
you.

Health Tip
------------------------------------------------------------

Spread Out The Calcium

Calcium supplements are more effective if they are taken
in small dosages several times during the day rather than
all at once. For instance, if you take four 250 mg. doses
rather than one 1,000 mg. dose, you will absorb twice as
much. The same principal applies to drinking milk. Having
three glasses throughout the course of the day is better
than three glasses drunk at one sitting.

Have a Heart Healthy Holiday

(ARA) - A recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive
found U.S. adults are more afraid of being in a car
accident than experiencing a heart attack (25 percent vs.
16 percent). This is surprising since heart disease, the
nation's number one killer, claims one life every 35
seconds -- more than 912,000 lives annually (American Heart
Association) -- and car accidents claim significantly less
lives each year -- 43,000. These numbers show that living a
heart-healthy lifestyle should be just as important as
using a seatbelt.

A proactive approach to maintaining a healthy heart is
especially important during the holidays. Studies show that
December and January have the highest rate of heart disease-
related deaths than any other time of year. Dr. Joseph
Keenan, cardiology researcher and Professor Emeritus,
University of Minnesota Department of Family Medicine, says
the path to a healthier heart during the holidays and into
the New Year requires only a few simple diet and lifestyle
changes:

Swap This for That
When preparing holiday meals, swap your regular corn oil
for olive or canola oil. Studies suggest that 2 tablespoons
of olive oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart
disease. To achieve this possible benefit, olive oil should
replace a similar amount of saturated fat and not increase
the total number of calories you eat in a day (Food & Drug
Administration). Also, try using low-fat milk instead of
whole milk in your favorite deserts and recipes. One cup of
whole milk has almost 5 grams of saturated fat and 146
calories per cup, whereas skim milk has only 0.125 grams
and 83 calories per cup.

Need a snack between meals? Munch on almonds or pistachios
instead of potato chips. Research shows that nuts may help
decrease high cholesterol. And remember, fresh fruits and
vegetables are always a great snack option!

Pay Attention to Your Genes
Many U.S. adults are genetically predisposed to have high
cholesterol that may be difficult to manage by diet and
exercise alone. For these situations, CholestOff Complete
from Nature Made may be helpful. CholestOff Complete is a
science-based supplement developed to naturally reduce
genetic cholesterol with the key ingredient Pantesin.
CholestOff Complete also contains plant sterols and
stanols, plant-derived ingredients that have been studied
since the 1950's and are clinically proven to help
naturally reduce LDL "bad" cholesterol.

Beat the Habit
Like the consequences of driving without a seatbelt,
smoking has been widely publicized as a serious health
threat. If quitting cold turkey is too hard, Dr. Keenan
recommends that people visit their doctor to help determine
the best method of quitting. The benefits of becoming a non-
smoker are great -- studies show that after 15 smoke-free
years, the risk of coronary heart disease can be at the
same levels as someone who has never smoked.

Work It Out
Regular exercise is an important part of overall heart
health, but the cold holiday weather often makes going
outside a challenge. For a good workout at home, pop in an
aerobics or yoga DVD and pull out the hand weights,
resistance bands or an exercise ball. Cleaning and
decorating for a holiday party also burns calories!

Health Tip
------------------------------------------------------------

Avoid Exercising In Areas With Traffic

A vigorous 30 minute run along a road with heavy traffic
can increase the amount of carbon monoxide in the blood up
to 10 times. That's the same amount of carbon monoxide that
you get from smoking a half a pack of cigarettes.

Keeping Safety on the Up-and-up this Holiday Season

(ARA) - Almost 2 billion people will ride an escalator in
the United States this holiday season. With so many people
using this form of transportation while traveling or at the
mall, it is important to remember the do’s and don’ts of
safely riding an escalator.

During the hustle and bustle that has become routine in
today’s society, escalator safety might be the last thing
on one’s mind. With an estimated 35,000 escalators
operating in America today, practicing safe riding should
be in mind at all times.

Escalator riders should always remember the following:

Do ...

Watch the direction of the moving step when entering an
escalator.

Step on and off with extra care.

Stand in the middle of the escalator step and face
forward. Avoid standing on the sides of the step where your
shoes can rub against the sides of the escalator.

Grasp the hand rail firmly as you step promptly onto the
moving step. Reposition your hand slowly if the hand rail
moves ahead or behind the steps.

Keep loose clothing clear of steps and sides. Also, be
aware of soft-soled and open-toed shoes or other
potentially problematic footwear that could cause you to
slip or fall.

Hold children or small packages firmly in one hand. If
your hands are full or if you have a wheelchair, cart or
other wheeled vehicle, use elevators instead.

Be aware of health conditions that could contribute to
falls or accidents. Be extra careful if you wear
prescription glasses, have an illness or take medications
that affect your eyesight, mobility or balance.

Don’t ...

Lean against the sides.

Let your feet slide off the end of the escalator. Make
sure to step over the comb plate.

Hesitate or stop to look around. Immediately move clear
of the escalator exit area. Other passengers may be behind
you.

Rest your handbag or parcels on the hand rail.

Window-shop while riding.

Escalators are among the safest forms of transportation in
the world. However, escalators are complex machines with
thousands of moving parts and occasionally injuries do
occur, usually as a result of unsafe riding practices.

“Many escalator accidents can be prevented simply by being
aware of your surroundings and by following simple safety
rules,” says Edward Donoghue, spokesperson for the National
Elevator Industry, Inc. (NEII). “If riders adhere to the
proper safety guidelines, they can ensure a safe ride each
and every time they use the equipment.”

The National Elevator Industry Inc. (NEII) is a leading
trade association dedicated to educating both the general
public and industry professionals about escalator and
elevator safety. For more information about elevators and

Better Behind The Wheel

If you get motion sickness, offer to drive when traveling
by car. The driver usually doesn't get motion sickness. If
that's not possible, focus on the scenery ahead, not to the
side, and sit near an open window.

Ten Ways to Keep Your Holiday Shopping Spirits Bright

(ARA) - Ah, the holidays: the joy, the snow, the rush …
the frustration, the crowds, the bad-tempers, the rudeness!
'Tis the season to be jolly, but how do you survive the
holiday shopping season while keeping your spirits bright
at the same time?

Peggy Post, author of "Emily Post's Etiquette" and 1-800-
FLOWERS.COM's etiquette expert offers 10 ideas:

1. Smile, Smile, Smile -- You can't do it enough. Your
face -- and your soul -- will thank you for it.

2. Lose the 'Bah Humbug!' attitude. Yes, it will be
crowded and there will be lines, but don't let that dampen
the season's joie de vivre.

3. "Please, Thank You and You're Welcome." Make this your
mantra and you will smooth the way for better service and
create a kinder, gentler atmosphere all around.

4. Be Gracious. You have circled the lot for the fifth
time when you spy a space, only to see that someone else is
already waiting for it. Be gracious. It's the right thing
to do.

5. A Little Patience, Please. Whether it's the checkout
counter or airline counter, the rules are the same: first
come, first served, one at a time.

6. Friendliness. Say "hello" to the harried clerk behind
the counter and don't forget to smile. It will make a
difference in her attitude and could be the best part of
her day!

7. Complain to the Proper Person. Yelling at a salesclerk
because a store is out of an advertised item only makes you
look foolish and rude. Ask to speak to the manager. Frame
your complaint clearly and simply and no venting, please.

8. Cell Phones: They're useful when trying to find out
your Aunt Mary's glove size, but turn them off when you are
working with a sales clerk or checking out at a register.

9. Shopping with Children: Don't! It's best to arrange to
leave your children home when it comes to holiday shopping.
If they must accompany you, make sure they are well-rested
and fed, and bring along some small toy to keep their
attention.

10. Don't Forget the Lights -- traffic lights, that is!
People are distracted this time of year. Stop at the red
lights and use your turn signals to alert other harried,
distracted shoppers.

Of course, you can always join the ever-growing number of
consumers who are avoiding the crowds, are cozying up at
their computers and shopping online. Best of all, you can
still convey thoughtfulness with each gift. Sites such as 1-
800-FLOWERS.COM, for instance, offer gifts that have a real
personal touch.

"Flowers will convey your deepest emotion every time,"
says Julie Mulligan, floral designer for 1-800-FLOWERS.COM.
Julie's Glorious Bloom arrangement, for example, will show
how much you care, while taking some of the pain out of
holiday shopping at the mall. Make this truly a season to
be jolly and take the stress out of shopping.

Health Tip
------------------------------------------------------------

Do You Suffer From Sleepyheaditis?

Many people have trouble getting up in the morning, but
this problem becomes intensified during the winter months.
This may be due to the body's internal timer that uses
sunlight as a signal to wake up. During dark and dreary
winter mornings, the body may not receive the triggers to
get out of bed. If this is a problem for you, turn your
bedroom lights on as soon as the alarm goes off or hook
them up to a timer that will turn them on.

Preparing for and Recovering from Surgery
Steps Everyone Should Take to Ensure the Safest Surgery
Possible

(ARA) - It's likely that everyone will have some type of
surgical procedure at some point in their life. As
intimidating as it might be, there are some steps you can
take to help ensure a successful procedure and recovery.

"Patients need to be proactive about surgery," says Alecia
Cooper, RN, CNOR and vice president of clinical services at
Medline Industries, Inc. "You can't just assume the doctors
do it all. People should never be embarrassed to ask
questions before and after their surgery."

Steps for a Successful Surgery

Research your surgeon before you schedule your surgery.
Consider any recommendations and choose a doctor who
specializes in your particular procedure. Inquire about
their infection rate. There are Web sites such as
healthgrades.com where you can learn more about particular
hospitals, doctors and nursing homes.

Follow the doctor's recommendations prior to surgery.
Generally, if you smoke, you should quit several weeks
prior. Quitting smoking will help your lungs be in better
shape for the procedure. Most doctors will request you
arrive for surgery with an empty stomach, asking you not to
eat eight hours prior to the procedure.

Meet with your doctor prior to surgery and always ask
questions. Doctors should be able to answer any questions
you might have about surgical preparation, the actual
procedure and your recovery. Don't ever be afraid to ask a
question, no matter how small or embarrassing it might be.

On the day of the surgery, wear loose-fitting clothing.
The length of stay in the hospital will dictate what
clothes you will need, but generally pack for comfort and
make sure your clothes are loose enough to accommodate any
bandages.

Ask the hospital staff to clean their hands. This might
seem like common practice, but it is one of the most
influential things staff can do to prevent infection in
your body. It's okay to politely ask if they will wash
their hands in front of you so you can see that it has been
done.

Sterillium Rub manufactured by BODE-Chemie and distributed
by Medline, is a surgical hand scrub used in the operating
room. It has a unique formulation containing a single
active ingredient (80 percent ethyl alcohol), which
effectively kills bacteria while protecting and
moisturizing skin. Sterillium Comfort Gel, also
manufactured by BODE and distributed by Medline, can be
used for hand hygiene throughout a medical facility. It
contains 85 percent ethanol-alcohol to greatly reduce
bacteria and help reduce the likelihood that bacteria
becomes a threat to you. Both Sterillium products are
designed to be gentle on the care givers hands to encourage
their frequent use. Frequent and proper use of these, and
similar products make it safer to be a patient.

Ask the staff to clean the tools they will be using on
you. For example, ask the doctor to clean the stethoscope,
in particular the flat surface that they put on your body
to hear your heart. Bacteria can grow on this frequently
used tool.

Shaving the surgical site can leave small nicks that are
susceptible to infection. If needed, a better choice to
remove hair is with clippers instead of a razor.

Medline's MediClip surgical clippers have several key
features that enable safe clipping, as recommended by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for
surgical hair removal. The exclusive ergonomic design means
greater comfort for the user and the patient. MediClip can
be used with the wrist in a neutral position that helps
avoid skin-to-blade contact.

Depending on the type of surgery, some type of
anesthetic will be used. Ask your doctor about the process
and what to expect after the surgery.

Post surgery, you will be put in a recovery room where
nurses will monitor you as the anesthesia wears off. During
this time, the doctor will meet with your family and
friends to update them on your condition. Family and
friends should feel comfortable to ask questions regarding
how the surgery went and what they can expect as you
recover. They should also feel comfortable asking hospital
staff to clean their hands prior to coming in contact with
you. In fact, because they are coming in from the outside,
it is wise for them to disinfect their hands as well.

After you reach a stable level you will be discharged
and become an outpatient. Follow your doctor's instructions
for your recovery and if something unexpected comes up,
call your nurse or doctor immediately. It's important to
follow prescription and diet instructions in order to
ensure a positive recovery.

"Taking the right steps when having a surgical procedure
can make a seemingly negative experience a positive one,
where the patient feels confident, comfortable and recovers
nicely," adds Cooper.

Up In Smoke

The quickest way to burn your money is to smoke
cigarettes. A two-pack-a-day smoker spends over $2,000 each
year and that doesn't include money spent on ruined
clothing, extra medical expenses, and increased life
insurance premiums.

Put a Little Play Back in Your Day

(ARA) - So when did life become all work and no play?

In the recent study No Vacation Nation (2007), the U.S.
Center for Economic and Policy Research found that among
the 21 richest countries in the world, the United States is
the only nation where paid vacation time is not guaranteed
by law. And when time off is offered, it is still usually
less than what other countries such as France, Australia
and Japan offer.

Before heading up to Human Resources to complain, however,
take a closer look at your own work habits. Similar studies
found that the average American only uses a portion of his
or her vacation time, and even then, many tend to take
their work with them. A shift in American work habits from
the 1950s is often cited as the cause, but this change in
attitude was not a subtle generational one; rather, it was
distinct, and, for most, happened sometime around the sixth
grade.

With visions of junior high and high school running
through young heads, reality crashed through with three
simple words, "no more recess." This rite of passage is
meant to signify a transition to adulthood. It is the time
when words like "playtime" and "fun" are pushed aside for
more mature words, such as "responsibility" and "deadline,"
and eventually, "time management" and "overtime." And so
with little resistance, Americans concede that playtime is
over.

But the desire to have fun on the schedule isn't just kid
stuff. According to a survey conducted by Nestle Crunch
Crisp, 70 percent of Americans wish they could have a
recess break sometime during their workday. And doing so
might actually be to their employer's benefit. An earlier
article in Fortune magazine confirms employee motivation
and creativity, sparked by activities such as "play," can
increase office productivity up to 127 percent.

Finding ways to put a little play in your day can also
increase the levels of satisfaction experienced at work.
Yet despite these benefits, the Nestle survey found that at
42 percent, almost half of Americans think their workday
contains no play whatsoever, and only 39 percent felt
their's was a fun or playful workplace.

It may be time for Americans to take recess back -
dodgeball is optional. Here are some tips for giving
yourself the work-day recess you deserve.

THE ONLY WASTED VACATION IS THE ONE NOT TAKEN.
Schedule your vacation time well in advance. If you end up
taking a trip, that's great. If not, even better - you get
to sleep in and catch up on all those things you've been
too busy to tackle.
PROPOSE A NEW TEAM BUILDER.
Did you know you can learn more about a person from
playing a game with them than from 10 interactions? A staff
meeting may teach everyone more about the next fiscal year,
but a staff game night could teach them more about their
teammates working styles.
PLAN FOR PLAY.
Keep some things in your desk that will help you relax
during short breaks. Maybe you like to spend a couple of
minutes with a crossword or cell phone solitaire. What
about a miniature Zen rock garden to take your mind off
things?
FORECAST A REWARD.
You probably can't grab a massage every afternoon, but you
can plan a reward for yourself every day - lunch with a
friend, an afternoon snack, or really leaving by 6:00 p.m.
SHAKE UP THE INTERVIEW.
Trying to find a new team member? Don't just sit there;
take applicants for a walk and see how quick they are on
their feet. They'll get to impress you with their best
qualities, and you'll get some exercise and fresh air.
TEST YOUR SENSE MEMORY.
Tastes and aromas can often be tied to memories, like
hotdogs and baseball games, or movie popcorn and a really
good date. Test this theory with new Nestle Crunch Crisp
and see what fun thoughts pop up with your love of
chocolate.

Whatever play means to you, understand that it is a
necessary part of a healthy work-life balance. No, you are
not being paid to play games, but if taking even ten
minutes to surf the Internet helps you come back and focus
more on the task at hand, don't you think your boss would
give you a permission slip to visit www.PlayInYourDay.com?

Health Tip
------------------------------------------------------------

Flea Relief?

To determine if fleas are in your house, walk through it
wearing white socks. Should you have a flea problem, the
fleas will be attracted to your body warmth and the sound
you make while walking. You will be able to see them on
your socks. To eliminate fleas, vacuum carpets and
furniture which is where they most often live. Be
especially careful to clean pet areas and treat your pet.

Hot Gift Ideas for Chronically Cold People

(ARA) - There's always at least one on every holiday list -
the "hard-to-shop-for" individual. Not all of these gift-
challenged people, however, are problematic for the same
reason. Some simply have everything. Others are so content
they want for nothing.

Then there are the "chilly willies," the folks who are
just too cold all winter long (and sometimes year-round) to
spend much time thinking about their holiday wish lists.

The benefits of feeling toasty in the winter are well
documented, especially for seniors, athletes and those with
joint or muscle pain. Heat reduces pain, decreases
stiffness, relaxes muscles, improves circulation for more
restful sleep and improves cell function. At work, warmth
promotes productivity and ends the distraction of feeling
cold.

Whether age, illness or good old-fashioned "thin blood" is
behind your loved one's chronic cold snap, there are plenty
of products available to warm the cockles of their hearts -
not to mention their frosty toes - this holiday season.

Smarter Space Heaters
Extremities, especially feet and legs, can be particularly
vulnerable to cold, which slows blood circulation. Some
diseases, like diabetes, leave the sufferer with
particularly poor circulation in the legs and feet, which
can cause a number of other health problems, including
chronic leg ulcers.

While space heaters may solve the problem for many who
suffer from chronic cold sensitivity, they come with their
own set of problems as well. In fact, the Consumer Product
Safety Commission reports that 25,000 fires, more than 300
deaths and 6,000 serious injuries are associated with space
heaters every year. Liquid fuel heaters have been known to
explode, tip over, pollute indoor air and emit deadly
carbon monoxide. Electric heaters can also be dangerous and
tend to demand a lot of electricity to operate.

If a space heater is on your list for a chilled loved one,
opt for one of the new generation electric heaters, like
Cozy Legs - a flat-panel, low wattage heater that
emphasizes safety and efficiency as much as comfort. Such
heaters are green because they consume less electricity.
Because it's a flat panel, Cozy Legs can be mounted to
virtually any vertical surface near your feet and is
thermostatically controlled with a high/low switch.

Most space heaters require at least 3 feet of clearance
for safety, experts advise. The new Toasty Toes from Indus-
Tool actually allows you to prop your feet on it.
Thermostatically controlled, the unit has three positions -
flat, ergonomic footrest and vertical panel. Weighing less
than 5 pounds, it's also energy efficient, drawing just 90
watts.

Warmer Living through Electrics
Heating pads are a soothing staple for anyone who suffers
from pain that is caused or worsened by cold. Look for ones
that are UL or ETL rated and offer multiple intensity
settings with consistent all-over warmth. Moist heating
pads can be particularly helpful for arthritis sufferers.
For those who spend a lot of time sitting or standing with
their feet on a cold floor, the Cozy Footwarmer is a
heating pad they can actually stand on or rest their feet
on. The 21-inch by 14-inch rubber mat is thermostatically
controlled so it won't overheat.

Or, if your cold-footed giftee has to be on the go,
consider battery-powered warming shoe inserts, like Cozy
Feet. The inserts fit into virtually any shoe and can be
walked on. Powered by batteries, the warmers won't lose
effectiveness like microwavable or reactive-chemical
heating elements.

Pan The Butter From Your Pancakes

To have a healthier breakfast, avoid putting butter or
margarine on your pancakes as one tablespoon contains more
than 100 calories, most of which is fat. Syrup, on the
other hand, is a good topping as a tablespoon contains only
50 calories and no fat.
