Beat the heat: Tips for keeping your family safe and healthy
this summer

(ARA) - The smell of the barbecue grill, the sounds of children
playing and the feel of warm sun on the skin are all signs of summer.
With increased outdoor activities, there also comes a list of
precautions you should take to keep your family safe and healthy.

"We know women are usually the caretakers of the family," says
Elizabeth Battaglino Cahill, a registered nurse and executive
director of HealthyWomen. "Summer brings lots of great opportunities
for family fun, but also requires some special planning to keep kids
and adults safe and healthy in the sun and heat."

Limit sun exposure
Because exposure to the sun causes most of the skin changes
associated with aging, protecting the skin from the sun is the single
most important skin care practice you can adopt and impart to your
children. Significant exposure to the sun will wrinkle and dry the
skin. Uneven pigmentation - from freckles to small or large brown
spots - is another side effect of frequent sunning.

The most serious consequence of sun exposure is skin cancer. Most
sun damage occurs before age 18, but skin cancer can take up to 20 or
more years to develop. Children who experience just a few serious
sunburns are believed to have an increased risk of developing skin
cancer later in life. Protect children by applying sunscreen at least
an hour before heading outside and frequently reapplying sunscreen
with an SPF of at least 15. Also have them play in the shade and wear
protective clothing. Babies younger than 6 months should never be in
direct sunlight and should always wear a hat and clothing that
protects them from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Keep an eye on your vision health
Wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat when you're in the sun. These
two simple steps can reduce your exposure to eye-damaging UV rays up
to 18-fold. And, if you wear contacts, ask your eye care specialist
about contact lenses with UV protection. Don't forget your children
and their eyes. If you are going to be in the sun, make sure your
children are wearing hats that provide coverage. Use your stroller
hood when out for a walk and pay attention to the sun's direction.
When out for a walk with your stroller, try to walk so that the sun
hits your back. You may also want to consider purchasing children's
sunglasses.

Practice water safety
Before you start splashing, remember safety first. Take the time to
enroll your kids in swim instruction classes, and teach your children
to take precautions before diving into the water. Make sure to read
the safety and warning labels on all children's toys, inner tubes and
water wings so that you understand their safety capabilities. And
remember to reapply sunscreen every few hours after being in the
water.

Avoid foods exposed to excess heat
During the summer months, many people enjoy going for a picnic.
Before packing your basket this summer, think about how long your
food will be exposed to the outdoors. Avoid packing meat, dairy and
egg products that may spoil if not kept cold. If you decide to bring
these types of food products, pack them separate from each other in a
cooler, and keep the ice in a sealed container to avoid a soggy
sandwich.

Stay hydrated
Increase fluid intake as appropriate based on the weather. High
temperatures or humidity outside, heated indoor air and high
altitudes all cause you to need more fluids.

When exercising, drink one cup of fluids every 15 minutes, advises
Dr. Werner W.K. Hoeger, a fellow of the American College of Sports
Medicine and director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Boise
State University.

Add more for big events. If you're going to be in a race or charity
walk, make sure you drink enough to be well hydrated the day before,
Hoeger adds. Also, drink a glass of fluid, such as water or a sports
drink, an hour before the event.

Watch out for overheating in vehicles
Even on a relatively mild day, the temperature inside your vehicle
can quickly escalate. These temperatures can put both children and
pets at risk for heat stroke, dehydration and even death. Never leave
your child or pet unattended inside your car, even to run a quick
errand.

Pools and hot tubs, a fun way to stay fit

(ARA) - Swimming pools and hot tubs are just plain fun, but
many people overlook the health benefits. Just about anyone,
regardless of age or physical condition, can gain health
benefits from swimming.

Swimming as a regular form of exercise can cut males' risk
of death by 50 percent as compared to runners, walkers and
those with a sedentary lifestyle, according to a recent
study by Dr. Steven N. Blair of the Arnold School for Public
Health at the University of South Carolina. Blair found similar
health and fitness benefits in an earlier study for women as
well.

Regular laps in the pool can help tone the muscles in your
entire body, lower blood pressure, increase circulation and
raise metabolism and endurance. Because humans weigh less in
the water, people who can't participate in other forms of
exercise because of injuries or excess weight can swim
safely. And swimming is a fun and interesting workout that
keeps people coming back for more.

And, after a long session in the pool, or a long day at
work, what could be better than time spent relaxing in a
hot tub?

The steamy, swirling waters of a hot tub provide a great
place to loosen up and even to socialize, but can also lower
your blood pressure and decrease joint pain and swelling.
Additionally, the combination of heat, buoyancy and massage
in a hot tub can provide therapeutic benefits for those with
arthritis, diabetes, insomnia and more.

A recent study supervised by the Foundation for Physical
Therapy and funded in part by the Hot Tub Council of the
Association of Pool and Spa Professionals found significant
recuperative benefits for knee replacement patients who
performed their physical therapy in warm water.

When you make an investment in a home pool or hot tub,
you're not only potentially increasing the value of your
home
and making your house the most popular on the block, you're
increasing the length and quality of your life.

service company, visit www.APSP.org. For more information on

Grilled Italian Sausage with Peppers & Onions
Prep: 10 min, Cook: 30 min.

3 large green bell peppers, trimmed and quartered
lengthwise
1 large red onion, quartered lengthwise and separated
into layers
3 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
1-1/2 tsp. red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. dried oregano, crumbled
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1 lb. Italian sausage
* 2 metal skewers

Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal
(moderate heat for gas). (If using a charcoal grill, open
vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When
Charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from
lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to
determine heat for charcoal as follows: Hot: When you can
hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds; Medium-hot: 3 to 4
seconds; Low: 5 to 6 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat
burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary,
reduce to heat specified in recipe.)

Toss peppers and onion with 1/3 of the oil. Grill on
lightly oiled grill sheet set directly on perforated grill
sheet, with grill covered only if using a gas grill,
turning occasionally, until slightly softened and charred,
9 to 15 minutes (onion will cook faster), transferring to a
bowl as cooked.

Add vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper, and remaining oil to
peppers and onion, tossing to coat. Let stand 10 minutes to
allow flavors to develop.

While vegetables stand, run skewers crisscrossed
horizontally through sausage coil, securing ends. Grill
directly over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas)
on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas
grill, turning over once, until cooked through, 10 to 12
minutes total. (Thicker sausage may take longer.)

Transfer vegetables to a platter and top with sausage.

Smart Tips for Healthy Eating

(ARA) - Food can make you healthier -- if you make good
choices. It can seem hard to make healthy food choices,
particularly if you are on a budget and short on time. But
there are some simple steps you can take to help you and
your family eat healthier.

Build a Healthier Plate
Use a grocery list when shopping for food to help you
choose more fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Buy
leaner meats (such as chicken, turkey, and lean cuts of
pork or beef such as sirloin or chuck roast) and lower fat
dairy products like low-fat or non-fat (skim) milk and
yogurt. Buy whole grain breads and cereals. Save money by
buying less soda, sweets and chips or other snack foods.
Remember that special "dietetic" or "diabetic" foods often
cost extra money and may not be much healthier than simply
following the suggestions given here.

Also, watch the size of your portions. You may find that
you are used to eating portions that count as two or more
servings. It helps to be able to "eyeball" portion sizes.
Here are some guides:
Meat, fish, and poultry: 3 ounces, or about the size of
the palm of your hand or a deck of cards.
Cheese: 1 ounce, or about the size of your thumb.
Fresh vegetables, milk and yogurt: 1 cup, or about the
size of a tennis ball.
Bread: one slice.

Easy Ways to Make Smart Food Choices
There are lots of ways you can make smart choices about
your own and your family's eating habits. According to Ann
Albright, PhD, RD, president, Health Care and Education of
the American Diabetes Association, "One of the most
important things you can do to start eating more
healthfully is to pick one or two not-so great items you
eat frequently and find a more nutritious substitution for
those. If you start with foods you eat more frequently,
then the change will pack a bigger punch."

Shop Smart
Set aside some time to plan your weekly meals. It may
seem like a hassle at first, but having a plan (and writing
your grocery list with it in mind) can save you time,
stress, and a lot of extra trips to the store.

Stock your pantry with plenty of healthy basics,
including brown rice, whole grain pasta, crackers and
cereals. Remember that fresh fruits and vegetables are
usually healthier than canned or frozen, but it is better
to have canned or frozen fruits or vegetables than none at
all! When you run out, put the items on your grocery list
so you'll always have them on hand.

Shop only from your grocery list. Avoid aisles that
contain foods high in calories but low in vitamins and
minerals such as candy, cookies, chips and sodas. Also
avoid buying items promoted at the front of the store, on
the "end-cap" displays at the end of each aisle, or at the
cash register. These foods are usually low in nutrition.
Never shop when you are hungry and might be tempted by less
healthy food.

Eat Smart
Keep fruits and vegetables washed and cut up for easy
snacking and steaming.

Canned and frozen vegetables and fruits are healthful,
quick and convenient. To cut down on the sodium in
vegetables, drain and rinse canned vegetables with water
before heating them You can do the same to cut down on the
added sugar in canned fruits. Better yet, buy them packed
in juice.

Learn how to "Create Your Plate." When serving a meal,
draw an imaginary line down the middle of your plate and
another one across. Fill half of your plate with leafy
greens and other vegetables. Fill one quarter with grains,
like whole grain bread or pasta or brown rice. Then fill
the last quarter with lean protein such as chicken or fish.

Start meals with a salad or a broth or tomato-based soup
with lots of vegetables. This helps you eat more good-for-
you veggies while filling you up before you get to the
higher fat and calorie courses.
Make healthy snack foods easy to find in your kitchen. For
example, when you get home from work or school, put some
fresh carrots, grapes, or pretzels out on the counter
instead of having bags of chips out.

In restaurants, ask if meats can be grilled rather than
fried, and request sauces and dressings on the side.
Remember to choose fruit, salad, or other vegetables as
side items, rather than French fries. Order a salad or soup
to start and then share an entrée. Save money, and lots of
calories, by skipping dessert.

Learn more about healthy eating and how it can help lower
your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Aging Gracefully Inside and Out

(ARA) - Whether you’ve noticed the signs of aging in
family and friends, or acknowledged how it affects your own
mind and body, getting older is an unavoidable part of
life. And while Ponce de Leon never found the Fountain of
Youth, daily preventative measures can be taken to help you
age beautifully both inside and out.

The most frequently recognized signs of aging include
extrinsic indicators such as gray hair and wrinkles. But
have you ever stopped to think about other factors that
influence how young we feel and how young others perceive
us to be? Here are some tips on how to take aging in stride
and help you look and feel your youngest:

Heart-felt: Choosing a heart-healthy diet may not only
lengthen your lifespan by helping to reduce the risk of
heart disease and diabetes, it will also help you age
healthier. The FDA recommends eating well-balanced meals
low in saturated fat, cholesterol and salt. Additionally,
heart-friendly foods, especially those high in fiber, such
as salmon, soy protein, oatmeal and spinach, will help you
stay “young at heart.”

Smile On: Tooth stains and red gums can age the
appearance of your smile and impact its health. In fact,
gingivitis, a mild form of gum disease that affects one out
of every two adults, can be a major cause behind
prematurely aging smiles. “The good news is that it’s
preventable,” says Dr. Jamie Sands, D.D.S. “I recommend
using Crest Pro-Health toothpaste, which helps stop
gingivitis before it starts and protects all these areas
dentists check most -- plaque, cavities, tartar,
sensitivity and stains and a power toothbrush, such as Oral-
B Vitality Precision Clean, which reduces up to two times
more plaque than a manual brush.”

Work It: No one is too old to reap the benefits of
exercise. Regular physical activity provides endless
advantages -- from reducing the risk of osteoporosis to
increased energy and feelings of well-being -- even a brisk
20-minute walk several times a week can improve your
overall health.

Skin Deep: Although genes are a major factor in how skin
ages, a great deal of visible aging also stems from
environmental factors. Just a few minutes of sun exposure a
day can cause noticeable changes to the skin, such as
freckles, age spots, spider veins, fine wrinkles, and of
course, skin cancer. To maintain your youngest-looking
skin, avoid deliberate sun exposure, wear protective
clothing such as a wide-brimmed hat, and apply sunscreen,
preferably SPF 15 or higher, year-round.

Thought-provoking: Studies suggests that people who
engage in logic-based activities, such as crossword puzzles
and games that involve strategy like Scrabble or chess, are
less likely to develop memory loss. Not only will these
hobbies keep your vision and hand-eye coordination sharp,
but such challenges also help to keep your mind active.

Parents: Tips on Caring for Cuts and Scrapes

(ARA) - It?s something every parent has experienced. It?s
a beautiful day and your children are outside having fun at
a playground, backyard barbecue or party when an accidental
scrape or minor cut turns the laughter into tears. Once a
child is reassured that he/she will be OK, here?s what you
need to know to promote proper healing so that everyone can
get back to enjoying the sun:

1) The first thing to remember is that any time there is a
break in the skin, there is danger of infection, so make
sure to wash your hands properly before caring for the
wound. And although you might do it with the best
intentions, do not blow on the wound to comfort your child
and ?make the pain go away,? as it introduces germs to the
area.

2) Most minor wounds usually stop bleeding on their own,
but if they don't, apply direct pressure to the wound with
a non-stick pad or gauze pad until it stops.

3) Once the bleeding has stopped, clean the wound using
lukewarm, running water to wash away surface particles and
dirt. If dirt or debris remains embedded in the wound after
washing with warm running water, seek medical attention.
Don't attempt to remove embedded particles by yourself.

4) Cleaning the area around the wound with soap and water
reduces the risk of infection. Try to keep soap out of the
wound itself because soap can cause irritation and make
sure to always wipe away from the wound to avoid
contamination.

5) Most minor cuts and scrapes will heal just fine without
antibiotic ointment, but applying a product such as
SilvaSorb Gel can speed healing and has been shown to be
effective against MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant
organisms.

6) Although some people may say to let the wound
?breathe,? the most current medical advice is to cover it
up with an adhesive bandage. Curad makes a unique island
pad, where the adhesive surrounds the non-stick pad, that
helps seal out dirt and germs. They also make special
bandages that are designed to fit kid-sized wounds and are
filled with fun colors and characters that kids love.

7) Finally, be sure to cleanse the wound and change the
bandage at least daily or whenever it becomes wet or dirty.

In general, you should consult your doctor for all cuts
that are deep, large or continue bleeding -- they may
require stitches. Also see your doctor if the wound does
not heal in one week or less or if signs of infection
appear.

The more you and your children know about the proper way
to treat the cuts and scratches that accompany childhood
activity, the easier it will be to care for them and reduce
scarring. When in doubt about the severity of a wound,
whether stitches are necessary, or any time the child
continues to complain of pain or discomfort, consult your
pediatrician.

www.curadusa.com. For more information on SilvaSorb visit

local retail store.

Personalized Clothing Caution

Although many parents decorate their children's T-shirts and
sweat shirts with the child's name, there is a risk involved
. Strangers can greet your child by name and appear to be a
friend. Be sure to teach your children to treat strangers as
strangers even if they seem to know your child's name.

Three Great Workouts You Can Do Anytime, Anyplace

(ARA) - With the cost of everything so high these days,
people are looking for ways to trim their budgets. Among
the most obvious places to cut back, eliminating that
morning cup of coffee, bringing a lunch from home instead
of dining out and canceling those services you can really
do without - like cable TV and that gym membership you
don't really use much anyway.

That's not to say you shouldn't stay active, however.
Numerous studies have shown that regular exercise is a
critical part of staying healthy. According to the Centers
for Disease Control (CDC), regular exercise helps people
maintain a healthy weight and delay or prevent the onset of
diabetes and heart problems.

Regular activity is so important, in fact, that the
Federal Government recommends American adults get at least
30 minutes of exercise five times a week. But that doesn't
necessarily mean you have to head down to the gym, which
can be more of a chore than a fun activity, not to mention
expensive.

Here are some ideas for getting that 30 minute workout
anytime, anyplace:

1. Most employers offer an hour long lunch break and two
15-minute breaks throughout the day. Use some of that time
to get up and get moving.

If you work in a tall building with lots of floors, use
your break time to go up and down the stairs. If stair
climbing is not an option, walk around the building at a
brisk pace a couple of times a day, stopping occasionally
to stretch.

2. If you're a stay-at-home mom or dad, turn the baby
stroller into work-out equipment.

Head on down to the park or just around the block with
baby once or twice a day and as you move, use the stroller
as a piece of work-out equipment. You can jog behind it,
incorporate walking lunges and use bands for resistance
training. Not only will you get the benefit of exercise,
your baby will love it.

3. Take up sports hula hooping.
Ten minutes worth of vigorously wiggling your hips and
moving around can burn off 110 calories, which is about as
much as you'd burn if jogging or running an 8-minute mile.
But burning calories quickly isn't the only benefit the
activity offers. It also promotes correct body alignment
from the circular motions and proper posture in the upper
body.

Substitute that light, plastic hula hoop your kids play
with for a weighted one like the Acu Hoop offered by
California's Sports Hoop, Inc., and you can get even more
health benefits.

When swiveled for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, weighted
sports hoops can provide cardiovascular benefits, help tone
muscles, burn calories and fat and facilitate weight loss.
Do it religiously every day, and you can trim your waist
two inches and lose four pounds every month until fit.

Weighted hoops come in a variety of styles and sizes,
ranging from 1- to- 6-pounds in weight. No matter which one
you choose to use, here's how to get started:

1) Find enough space around you. Keep your feet one foot
wide. Relax your knees, waist and body.

2) Relax your elbows. Lift the hoop and place it tightly
against the back of your waist.

3) Grasp the hoop and keep it in a horizontal position
before swinging out. Do not position the hoop at a tilt.

4) Horizontally swing out the hoop against your waist,
fast and powerfully. Move your waist immediately.

5) Move your waist in a circular motion, all around
pressing against the hoop.

6) Keep your motion fast enough to match the circulation
speed of the hoop for it to stay up on your waist.

"The best thing about hula-hooping," says personal trainer
Rosemary Torres, "is it can be done anytime, anywhere."

It is estimated there are now more than one million people
throughout the United States using Sports Hoops as their
major waist-trimming fitness equipment. For more
information on the weighted hoops offered by California
Sports Hoop, Inc., or to place an order, visit www.sports-
hoop.com or call toll free (866) 700-5668.

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

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.

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.
