Maintain fitness during colder weather A tendency to eat heartier meals and a reduction in outdoor exercise as the weather gets colder can result in winter weight gain and loss of fitness. Here are some tips: ¡ Setting goals throughout the year is a must. Tie goals to the season for success. For example, resolve to run outdoors or cycle a certain number of miles each week in autumn, and when winter arrives and exercising outdoors is no longer viable, commit to attending a few fitness classes per week at your gym. ¡ Switch up your workout routine. Boredom can affect the ability to maintain healthy weight. The body can even grow accustomed to the same workout, meaning you won’t be getting as much out of your exercise. Switch up your routine by changing exercises or signing up for classes that interest you. ¡ Find healthy seasonal foods. Educate yourself about which foods are in-season throughout the year, opting for the most nutritious foods you can find. Buying in-season foods saves you money, and you will also feel good about staying on a nutritious, eco-friendly track. ¡ Join an exercise group or sports league. The buddy system is an effective way to stay committed to a fitness regimen. Exercise groups or sports leagues get you off the couch and provide great opportunities to meet like-minded men and women who have made their own commitments to staying fit. Staying fit all year long is a challenge for many people. But maintaining that beach body even after summer has come and gone need not be so difficult.

Tips for keeping kids’ smiles healthy
The American Dental Association recognizes that early childhood cavities are a significant public health problem. In fact, tooth decay is still recognized as the most common chronic disease affecting children in the United States. Fortunately, parents can help their children avoid dental issues like cavities by establishing healthy routines early. Dr. Jennifer Salzer, a dentist, orthodontist and mom, offers the following tips to help parents keep children’s smiles healthy all year. * Speak to your pediatrician about when to schedule baby’s first dental visit. A good rule of thumb is to schedule a visit by their first birthday with regular visits every six months. * Set a good example and let your kids learn by watching and imitating you as you brush, rinse and floss. * Encourage your kids to brush in front of a mirror; it will help them see spots they may otherwise miss. * To help keep track of their oral care routine enlist the help of a brushing chart to record each time your child brushes. * Have plenty of oral care supplies on hand for your kids in the flavors and designs they’ll be excited to use to encourage proper oral hygiene. * Show kids with braces how to brush using a two-step approach -- from the top down, and then the bottom up -- to help dislodge any food that may be stuck in the brackets. Oral health is an important issue, particularly for kids. Luckily, with good habits and the right tools, dental health issues like cavities are largely preventable.
How to boost your immune system for the holidays The hustle and bustle of holiday celebrations will soon be upon us. The office parties are already in full swing and storefront windows are all decked out in holiday glitz. Your Christmas lights and decorations are up and all that is left to do is entertain family and friends. This time of year can be wonderful, but it also brings a certain amount of stress. The last-minute shopping, family visits, kids running around the house and over-crowded shopping centres is exhausting just to think about. All of that added stress also can affect your immune system. Hugs and handshakes represent golden opportunities for viruses, parasites and bacteria to join in the spirit of Holiday sharing. You wonder how you will ever make it through the season without catching something. And then you may ask yourself: Can probiotics really boost my immune system? The answer is yes. According to dietitian and nutritionist Annie Jolicoeur, many clinical studies have demonstrated the benefits of probiotics in terms of preventing and treating the common cold, the flu and gastroenteritis. “Taking probiotics reduces the severity and duration of symptoms like fever, coughing, runny nose, and even diarrhea,� explains Jolicoeur. “Therefore, it is recommended that all members of the family take probiotics every day.� Jolicoeur recommends Probaclac as the ideal solution since it provides probiotic complexes that are designed specifically for every age group: children up to the age of 15; adults (can be taken from the age of 15); and older adults (age 50 and up). Maintaining a healthy intestinal flora helps to protect against the penetration of bacteria, parasites, and viruses, Jolicoeur advised. “Did you know that the intestinal mucous membrane acts as the ‘cornerstone’ of your overall health? Two-thirds of the immune-defence cells in your body are found there. Therefore, your immune system is enhanced when you take probiotics.� Here’s a tip: Jolicoeur recommends you start taking probiotics at least two weeks before the holiday season begins, so that your body will be well prepared to ward off the oncoming germ attacks

Store and use leftovers safely
With the preparation of large holiday meals in the near future, it is a good time to review safe leftover storage. Few meals are created and then eaten in their entirety. That’s especially true of holiday meals or other special events. Leftovers are to be expected, and in many cases, leftovers are eagerly anticipated. Sometimes leftovers can be even more delicious than when the meal was originally served. Storing leftovers may not be so simple, as poorly stored foods may end up causing illness when eaten later. Learn the basics of leftovers and how to prolong the shelf life of foods left behind. Foodborne illness, also known as food poisoning, is caused by harmful bacteria growing in food. Few people can detect changes in the taste or texture of contaminated food, so it can be difficult to know if an item is dangerous to eat, says The Mayo Clinic. Bacteria grow well in what is termed “the danger zone.� This is between 40 F and 140 F. Many instances of foodborne illness can be prevented through proper food handling, which begins when food is purchased and continues during the cooking process, culminating in the safe storage of leftovers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service recommends refrigerating leftovers within two hours of cooking food or holding it hot. All food that has been left out for more than two hours should be discarded if it is perishable.

According to the World Health Organization, tobacco kills up to half its users, annually roughly six million people each year. The WHO notes that more than five million of those deaths are the result of direct tobacco use, while more than 600,000 deaths can be attributed to non-smokers being exposed to secondhand smoke.

Managing diabetes during the Holidays The holiday season is synonymous with many things, including food. Family gatherings and holiday office parties wouldn’t be the same without great food. Food plays such a significant role during the holiday season that many people are worried about overindulging. Some celebrants can afford to overindulge, while others must resist temptation. Diabetics fall into the latter category, as the festive mood of the season does not mean people with diabetes can throw dietary caution to the wind. With the holiday season upon us, diabetics can heed the following tips from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help them stay on a healthy track. · Stick to your normal routine. While the holiday season can be unpredictable, the CDC advises diabetics stick to their normal routines as closely as possible. Because holiday guests cannot control food served to them at family gatherings or parties, the CDC recommends diabetics offer to bring a healthy, diabetic-friendly dish along to any parties. In addition, don’t skip meals during the day in anticipation of a large holiday meal. Doing so makes it hard to control blood sugar levels. · Be extra careful with alcohol. Alcohol is served or readily available at many holiday gatherings, and many people overindulge because of the festive mood of the season. Overindulging in alcohol is dangerous for anyone, but diabetics must be especially mindful of their alcohol consumption. Alcohol can lower blood sugar and interact with diabetes medicines. Diabetics who want to enjoy a holiday libation should keep their alcohol consumption to a minimum. · Eat slowly. Eating slowly can benefit anyone during the holiday season. Eating at a leisurely pace gives diners’ brains ample time to signal that their bodies are full. By eating quickly, diners may be eating more calories than they hoped to eat, and that can lead to uncomfortable feelings of fullness after a meal. Diabetics who can slow down their eating are less likely to overindulge in less healthy holiday
foods that can affect their blood sugar levels. · Remain active. The holiday season can be hectic, as adults often must juggle extraordinarily busy social schedules with the responsibilities of everyday life. Many people sacrifice time at the gym to ease the burden of hectic holiday schedules, but diabetics must resist that temptation. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases notes that routine physical activity helps diabetics keep their blood glucose levels in their target range. Physical activity also helps the hormone insulin absorb glucose into all of the body’s cells for energy. That extra energy boost can help diabetics fend off holiday-related fatigue. Diabetics face a lot of temptation come the holiday season. But with the right plan of action in place, men and women with diabetes can enjoy a healthy holiday season.
What do you think of when you hear the word “water?” If you have a scientific mind, you might think that it’s a transparent fluid that covers 71% of the earth. If you’re into sports, you may think about all the activities you can do in water. If you’re stressed out, you may associate water with bubble baths, beach vacations or maybe some fishing. Indeed, water is related to all mentioned. Water is also one of the most important nutrients for your body. It is so important that it’s considered an essential nutrient for survival among all living species. What are benefits of water? •Carries nutrients throughout the body and waste products out of the body. •Acts as a lubricant and cushion around joints and inside the eyes, spinal cord, and, in pregnancy, the amniotic sac surrounding the fetus in the womb. •Reduces risk for osteoporosis. •Aids in the regulation of body temperature. •Maintains blood volume. •Help with constipation and diarrhea. •Reduces risk for kidney stones and heart disease. •Improves metabolism. The amount of water needed varies based on your activity level, but on average aim for 7-11 cups (8 ounces = 1 cup) each day. Other fluids, such as milk and juice, also contain water. Just remember that other sources of water also likely contain added calories. The best source for quenching your thirst is WATER. Please seek advice from your physician if you have a medical disorder that contraindicates intake of large amounts of water. Article written by Shelbie Penner RD, LD

Exercise is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. Many people establish bold fitness goals with a mind toward getting in shape. It’s tempting to jump right in, however, inactive men and women risk injury when diving right in and not taking a gradual approach to fitness and weight loss regimens. To reap the most rewards from exercise, take the proper precautions and follow these guidelines. · Get medical clearance before you begin a new exercise regimen, especially if you have any preexisting medical conditions. Your doctor may suggest certain modifications that can reduce strain on certain parts of the body or advise you on the most effective activities for people with your condition. Healthy individuals may be cleared outright and can begin their fitness regimens immediately. It’s also wise to inform doctors of fitness plans and goals so they can help track your progress. · Don’t eat heavy meals before exercising. Avoid large meals before engaging in strenuous physical activity. A light, healthy snack gives you a little fuel without affecting your ability to exercise. After eating, the body diverts blood flow to the gastrointestinal tract to aid with digestion. Exercising while this blood flow is centralized in the gastrointestinal tract may cause muscle cramps or generalized weakness. Wait at least an hour after eating full meals to exercise. · Warm up. It’s important to warm up muscles before beginning a workout. Avoid stretching cold muscles -

instead, warm up by jogging in place or going up and down a flight of steps. · Wear appropriate equipment. Invest in quality athletic shoes and other equipment made for the activity you will be performing. The right equipment can help prevent injury. Athletic shoes that fail to provide adequate support can increase your risk of injury. Good shoes do not have to cost a fortune, as there are plenty of brands that will work quite well. If you need suggestions, discuss your exercise regimen and goals with a podiatrist or orthopedist. Orthotic inserts can be used to modify footwear and provide additional support. You also may need equipment specific to a given activity. For example, wrist supports and quality gloves are essential for kickboxing classes. · Take weather into consideration. Ice, snow, rain, and wind can make jogging or other outdoor activities more challenging, if not dangerous. Always exercise caution when your workout regimen involves exercising outdoors. Stay indoors if thunder and lightning are present. · Stay hydrated. A person can lose around one and a half pints of fluid for every hour of exercise. Drink water
before, during and after each exercise session. If you need water while exercising, take small sips. · Be aware of your body. Take notice of how you feel. If something doesn’t feel just right, then stop immediately, rest and/or seek medical attention. · Pace yourself and take time to rest. Slowly build up your durability and stamina by gradually increasing the intensity of your workouts. Give yourself time to recover between workouts as well.

Detox Diets? The Pros and Cons
Detox diet adherents tout the benefits of cleansing their bodies. The detox craze can be confusing, and misinformation regarding the best way to proceed with a cleanse only illustrates the emphasis men and women considering detox diets must place on learning as much about them as possible. Detoxing involves changing one’s diet for a predetermined period of time for the purpose of ridding the body of unhealthy, potentially toxic substances. While there may be some immediate weight loss associated with detoxing, losing weight is not the main purpose of detoxing. Men and women have various detox options to choose from, including some that target specific areas of the body or others that aim to improve overall health. Detox diets tend to be restrictive diets, which may not make them practical for everyone - particularly those who may have health ailments or specific dietary needs. Consult with a physician prior to beginning a detox diet to ensure it will not interfere with any treatments. In addition, it can help to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of detox diets to determine if doing a cleanse is the right choice for you. Pros · Eliminate poor eating habits: Cleanses may help you to take better inventory of your eating habits and encourage you to make healthy choices in the process. Detox diets require that their adherents eliminate particular foods for a period of time, and in many instances, these off-limits foods are overly processed items that may not be the best food choices in the first place. · Increase vitality and energy levels: Detox diets can sometimes increase one’s energy and stamina. This can translate into more motivation to exercise or be active. · New foods: A detox may require you to increase consumption of whole foods and participate in “clean eating.” Eating cleanly is about selecting the healthiest options in each of the food groups. You may be exposed to new ingredients and discover healthy options you love. · Benefit the immune system: You may find that healthy eating has positive effects on your immune system. This may make it easier to fend off illnesses or improve recovery time on those occasions when you get sick. Cons · Potential for nutrient deficiency: Restrictive eating may deprive the body of certain nutrients it needs to remain in optimal shape. Nutrient deficiency can be dangerous, so it’s important to proceed with caution. · Weight loss concerns: If your goal is to lose weight, do not expect detox diets alone to produce permanent weight loss. Many people experience weight gain after they stop a detox, says the health resource Everyday Home Remedy. Weight loss is better achieved gradually and through consistent healthy eating and exercise than through a cleanse. · Potential to overextend detox diets: Some people extend a detox for longer than is recommended in an effort to experience greater gains. They may feel that two or three weeks of a cleanse may be doing more good than simply one week. This is not a good idea because you can deprive your body of the balance of foods it needs to thrive. Detox diets can be short-term dietary options that bring about renewed vigor and health. Speak with a doctor and nutritionist to determine if a cleanse is best for you.
New report links obesity to the most costly health conditions
A new report, The Health of Iowans, released by Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield identified obesity as a common, underlying factor that contributes to the most costly conditions among its members in Iowa. Obesity rates have drastically increased over the past 25 years — so much so that if obesity was a contagious disease, it would be considered an epidemic both in Iowa and across the country. “By taking a step back and looking at how our members truly use their health insurance, we were able to identify some interesting trends,” said Becky Wampler, Wellmark’s director of health care sustainability. “The obesity link was not surprising. Our environment has changed over time to include more conveniences that have made us become more sedentary. In fact, experts suggest there are more than 50 diseases today linked to obesity.” The Health of Iowans reviews the top-five most costly conditions for members, their link to obesity and the national average cost for treatment. Those top-five costly conditions include: 1. Cancer 2. Bone and joint disorders 3. Heart Conditions 4. Digestive disorders 5. Back pain The report also addresses the impact of chronic disease and the important role preventive care has in influencing positive outcomes. Importantly, the report provides real solutions and resources consumers can use to take action. This includes adding incremental physical activity to their everyday activities, to using the resources and tools available from Iowa’s Healthiest State Initiative. “Several of the conditions in The Health of Iowans report are considered chronic diseases that are very difficult to reverse and prevention is key,” said Wampler. “This report is designed to inform and encourage consumers to invest the time now — a healthy lifestyle not only gives back physically but also financially and emotionally.”

Common causes of poor vision
The World Health Organization notes that more than 285 million people suffer some type of visual impairment. The Kellogg Eye Center defines low vision as a reduced level of vision that cannot be fully corrected with conventional glasses. Those with low vision have some useful sight and are not considered completely blind. However, low vision can interfere with performance of daily activities, and some people with this condition are classified as "legally blind." Symptoms of low vision include difficulty recognizing objects at a distance or problems with differentiating colors. Yet, not everyone dealing with these symptoms has low vision. Specialized testing can determine if a person has low vision or another condition. Many conditions can impact sight and contribute to vision loss. Here are some more common ones. · Glaucoma: A person with glaucoma may gradually lose peripheral vision. Early symptoms, such as a subtle loss of contrast, may be unnoticeable. Eventually, glaucoma may cause tunnel vision, which occurs when a person can only see through a small window. · Macular degeneration: Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss, affecting more than 10 million people in the United States alone, according to the American Macular Degeneration Foundation. The AMDF offers that macular degeneration is caused by the deterioration of the retina's central portion, known as the macula. The macula is responsible for focusing central vision in the eye, and it contributes to one's ability to read, drive a car, recognize faces or colors and see objects in fine detail. · Retinal detachment: An increase of floaters or sudden flashes of light in vision may be indicative of retinal detachment or a tear in the retina. When caught promptly, a detached retina may be repaired. However, if left untreated and the detachment reaches the macula in the center of the retina, vision loss may be irreparable. The National Eye Institute says those with extreme nearsightedness, those who have had cataract surgery or those with a family history of retinal detachment are at a high risk. · Diabetic retinopathy: Blurring or patchy vision loss can be a side effect of high blood glucose levels. Not all people with diabetes will develop vision problems, but it is common enough to warrant attention. · Cataracts: According to The Mayo Clinic, a cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. Cataracts develop when aging or injury changes the tissue that makes up the eyes' lenses. Clouded vision can make it more difficult to read or drive. Over time, cataracts may obscure vision so much that they require surgical repair. Routine eye examinations can bring potential vision disturbances to light and facilitate faster treatment. Eye doctors also can make suggestions about lifestyle changes, including the use optical devices to improve sight.

How women can combat high cholesterol There are two types of cholesterol, and one actually reduces a person's risk for heart disease and stroke. High-density lipoprotein, often referred to as "HDL" or "good" cholesterol, absorbs low-density lipoprotein, or "bad" cholesterol, or "LDL," and carries it back to the liver, which then flushes it from the body. HDL accounts for a minority of the body's cholesterol. Unfortunately, the majority of cholesterol in the body is LDL, high levels of which can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing a person's risk for heart disease and stroke. A 2015 report from the American Heart Association indicated that more than 73 million American adults have high LDL cholesterol. Women may think the presence of the female sex hormone estrogen can positively impact their cholesterol levels. While estrogen tends to raise HDL levels, its presence alone does not mean women are out of the woods with regard to cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke. In fact, the CDC notes that heart disease remains the leading cause of death among women. High LDL cholesterol levels do not mean women will automatically develop heart disease, but women who receive such a diagnosis should take the following steps to lower their LDL levels so they can live longer, healthier lives. · Eat right. Avoid foods that are high in fat, especially saturated fats and trans fats. The AHA notes that foods that contain saturated fats contribute to high levels of LDL. Fatty beef, lamb, pork, poultry with skin, lard and cream, butter, and cheese are just a few of the foods that contain saturated fats. Those foods all come from animal sources, but many baked goods and fried foods are also high in saturated fat and should be avoided. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are heart-healthy foods that can help women lower their LDL levels and reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease. · Exercise regularly. Routine physical activity can help women lower their LDL levels, especially when such exercise is combined with a healthy diet. The Office on Women's Health recommends women get two hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week, or one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity each week. Speak with your physician to learn which exercises are most appropriate for someone in your condition. Women who want to do more than aerobic activity can still meet their exercise requirements by combining moderate and vigorous cardiovascular exercise with muscle-strengthening activities two or more days per week. · Quit smoking. Smoking can accelerate the damage already being done by high cholesterol. While research does not indicate that smoking directly impacts LDL levels, the toxins produced and inhaled from cigarettes can modify existing LDL, making it more likely to cause inflammation.
Unique ways to exercise at home Even the most devoted exercise enthusiasts sometimes encounter obstacles that make it hard for them to squeeze in their regular workouts. Weather can affect outdoor exercise enthusiasts, while busy work schedules can make it difficult to get to the gym. Following are a handful of ways to exercise at home: · Take to the stairs in your home, walking up and down the staircases in your home to squeeze in some aerobic exercise. If you want to increase the intensity level, fill a backpack with some weights. · Jumping rope is an inexpensive, effective way to burn calories and improve muscle tone. It is great cardiovascular exercise and can strengthen the upper and lower body. Men and women who have histories of joint paint, including problems with their knees, ankles and/or hips, should consult with their physicians before adding jumping rope to their exercise routines. · Crunches are another effective way to exercise at home. Crunches don’t require a lot of space, making them great exercises for apartment dwellers or homeowners whose homes are less than conducive to exercise. Crunches strengthen the core and can help establish muscle tone. Crunches also burn calories. Be sure to adhere to proper form when performing crunches, as the wrong form can increase your risk of injury. · Become a squatter. Squats can be performed with or without weights, and either option can help tone your legs and buttocks, strengthen your core and improve your flexibility. Be sure to use proper form when performing squats. If you have never done squats in the past, first get the form down without using weights, only moving on to squatting with weights after you have mastered the form and if you feel like you want to. The confines of a home may not always be conducive to exercise. But fitness enthusiasts who find themselves unable to get out of the house can still get a workout in.

Maintenance is a must when wearing contact lenses An alternative to eyeglasses, contact lenses are widely used across the globe. Contact lenses provide the inconspicuous clarity many people desire, and the wide array of materials used to make lenses coupled with the assortment of styles of contact lenses have helped to make them more comfortable than ever before. It may seem like contact lenses are a relatively recent invention, but they’ve actually been around far longer than one would think. As far back as 1508, Leonardo da Vinci illustrated the concept of contact lenses. Three hundred years later a British astronomer named Sir John Herschel conceptualized the practical lens design. First designs of contact lenses covered the entire eye and were made from glass. By 1948, plastic contact lenses came on the scene and were designed to cover only the eye’s cornea. Through the 20th century, contacts continued to evolve. It is believed that now more than 30 million people in the United States alone wear contact lenses. Two-thirds of those wearers are female, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Because contact lenses come in direct contact with the eye, maintenance is especially important. Medical professionals say that teenagers as young as 13 may be able to wear contacts. It’s never too early to share the proper care procedures. The following are contact lens care guidelines, courtesy of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. ¡ Wash hands with soap and water and dry with a lint-free towel before handling contact lenses. ¡ Never store lenses in water (tap or sterile). Contact lenses must be stored in special disinfecting lens solution. ¡ Saliva is not a sterile solution and should not be used to moisten dry contacts. ¡ Minimize lenses’ contact with water. Remove them before swimming. ¡ Always follow the recommended lens cleaning and storage guidelines from an eye care professional and the contact solution manufacturer. ¡ Many professionals advise you to rub and rinse contact lenses even if the solution used is a “no-rubâ€? variety.
¡ Leave empty contact cases open to air dry. ¡ Replace storage cases and contact lenses as advised by the manufacturer or your eye care professional. Cases can be a source of contamination if they are cracked, dirty or damaged. ¡ Do not allow the tip of the solution bottle to come in contact with any surface, and keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

House plants for better health Gardening is a rewarding hobby that can pay a host of dividends, both for the planet and the people doing the gardening. Healthy plant life can help clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and various air pollutants, while the act of gardening can help gardeners combat stress. A Journal of Health Psychology study found that gardening promotes relief from acute stress. In the study, two groups of participants were asked to complete a stressful task and then instructed to either read indoors or garden outdoors for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the latter group had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and even reported being in a better mood than the group instructed to read indoors. But gardening does more than just provide gardeners with a reason to spend some time relaxing outdoors in an effort to relieve stress. Gardeners who raise certain plants may be able to bring those benefits with them when going inside as well. According to an article published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, houseplants can work wonders when it comes to improving overall health, removing toxins from air,
soil and water by metabolizing some toxic chemicals and releasing harmless byproducts while sequestering such toxins by incorporating them into plant tissues. Clean indoor air is important for everyone, but especially so for those people who suffer from respiratory ailments like asthma. In fact, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology considers indoor air filtration an essential part of any strategy to improve respiratory health. But filtration systems and air purifiers are often not enough, and those who want the air in their homes to be as clean as possible may benefit from introducing certain houseplants into their homes. The following are a handful of plants that can help to improve indoor air quality. ¡ Aloe vera might be most often associated with hand creams and hand soaps, but the aloe vera plant, a succulent that even novice gardeners should have no problem growing, can clear indoor air of formaldehyde and benzene, two common byproducts of chemical-based cleaners many people use in their homes.

¡ Spider plants are resilient, and that makes them great houseplants for busy men and women who tend to be forgetful when caring for their plants. In addition, spider plants are petfriendly and can be used to combat benzene, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde and xylene. ¡ English ivy: NASA researchers exploring the possibilities of long-term space habitation found that certain houseplants were more effective at cleaning air inside energy-efficient, nonventilated buildings than others. One such plant was English ivy, which can effectively combat the formaldehyde found in certain household cleaning products. ¡Bamboo palms also found their way onto NASA’s list. Bamboo palm plants thrive indoors, where they are especially effective at filtering out the chemicals benzene and trichloroethylene. Gardening has been proven to be a soothing hobby that can help gardeners reduce stress. But the health benefits of gardening can extend indoors as well.
Foods to reduce cancer risk
Cancer affects millions of people each year. Taking steps to prevent cancer may be easier when tackled together as a family or a group of friends. According the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, one of the world’s leading centers devoted to cancer patient care, research, education and prevention, many foods can help men, women and children reduce their cancer risk. When shopping for household groceries, families and groups of friends living together can aim to make the following cancer-fighting foods part of their daily diets. Produce: Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel’s sprouts, oranges, organic spinach, kale or collard greens, peas (fresh or frozen), red or purple grapes (preferably organic), tomatoes (no salt added if buying canned tomatoes) Protein: Lean chicken or turkey, lean fish, including salmon, halibut, redfish or red snapper, low-sodium black, red or pinto beans, low-sodium garbanzo beans, tofu Dairy: Eggs or egg substitutes, low-fat cheese, skim, or fat-free, milk Grains: Lentils, regular or instant wild rice or brown rice, whole grain pasta, bread, whole grain bread, tortillas or buns Condiments: Canola oil, low-fat or fat-free salad dressing, olive oil Spices: Turmeric has been found to be effective in reducing cancer risk.

Eat right to age well Eating the right foods is one way to age well. According to Ralph Felder, M.D., Ph.D., coauthor of “The Bonus Years Diet,” reversing the aging process internally is more difficult than outward cosmetic changes. But the right foods can go a long way toward increasing both life expectancy and quality of life. Those who want to employ diet to increase their life expectancy may want to start adding more of the following foods to their breakfast, lunch and dinner plates. · Broccoli, grapes and salad: According to Health magazine, researchers have found that compounds in these three foods boast extra life-extending benefits. · Berries: In addition to their abundance of antioxidants, berries have other benefits. A recent study from Harvard University found that at least one serving of blueberries or two servings of strawberries each week may reduce the risk of cognitive decline in older adults. · Fruits and vegetables: Produce is good for the body because it’s low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins and other nutrients. Numerous studies have indicated that diets plentiful in fruits and vegetables help people maintain a healthy weight and protect against cardiovascular disease. · Whole grains: Whole grains pack a lot of nutrition into a low-calorie food. Whole grains help protect against type 2 diabetes, and researchers at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center found study participants whose diets included plenty of whole grains and fruit cut their heart disease risk by almost half compared to those whose diets favored meat and fatty foods. · Red wine: A glass a day for women and no more than two glasses daily for men can be beneficial. Moderate
Fall Health & Wellness consumption of red wine has been shown to slow agerelated declines in cardiovascular function, according to the American Heart Association. · Fiber: Increase your fiber intake for a longer life. Research from The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition finds that the more fiber you include in your
The News & The Guide
diet, the lower your risk of coronary heart disease. The daily recommendation is 25 to 35 grams. While there may be no such thing as the fountain of youth, a healthy diet can help men and women prolong their lives

Minimal precipitation and warm temperatures allowed farmers to make progress towards harvest completion during the week ending November 13, 2016, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 6.7 days suitable for fieldwork. Activities for the week included harvesting, baling corn stalks, tiling, terracing, hauling and spreading manure, and anhydrous application. Topsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 10 percent short, 83 percent adequate, and 5 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 6 percent short, 82 percent adequate and 10 percent surplus. Ninety-four percent of the corn crop for grain has been harvested, equal to the 5-year average. This was the first time during the 2016 corn for grain harvest that progress was not behind average. Moisture content of all corn for grain being harvested in Iowa was unchanged from last week at 16 percent. While harvest is winding down in much of the State, southwest and south central Iowa still have over 10 percent of the corn crop and almost 10 percent of the soybean crop remaining to be harvested. Grain movement from farm to elevator was rated 55 percent moderate to heavy, down 7 percentage points from the previous week. Off-farm grain storage availability was rated 65 percent adequate to surplus. On-farm grain storage availability was rated 59 percent adequate to surplus. Livestock conditions were described as ideal with the week’s above normal temperatures and drier conditions. WEATHER SUMMARY It was a very dry week across Iowa. The only precipitation fell between Monday (7th) morning and Tuesday (8th) morning. Measurable rain amounts were largely confined to the western and eastern borders of the state. Only Fort Madison (0.10 inches) and Keokuk
