10 WAYS

to minimize those wrinkles

By Ana Romano gtreporters@greeleytribune.com

N

o one wants to feel old. Staying young in the mind is one thing, but as the years pass, many women find that fighting the external appearance of age is not as easy.

Every day, women are inundated with a slew of antiaging commercials in a torrent of white noise: Stop the signs of aging! Look 10 years younger! Two simple steps to feeling like you’re back in your prime!

What’s a woman to do? Kimberly Barnes, owner of Essentially Bare Laser and Skin Care Clinic in Greeley, and Megan Brauer, aesthetician at Designing Beauty Academy in Greeley, chimed in to help make sense of all the chaos.

WHAT NOT TO DO

There are three cardinal sins women most commonly commit against their skin.

The first one, Barnes said, is sun exposure. That goes for tanning beds, too, which have the same destructive UVA and UVB rays.

“When you are exposed to the sun long-term and don’t use any protection, your collagen and elastin fibroblasts, which give structure and firmness to the skin, start to deplete,” Barnes said. With no structure, fine lines and wrinkles move in to take its place.

QUIT SMOKING

Women must avoid smoking if they truly want younger-looking skin.

“Smoking depletes oxygen levels in a cell,” Barnes said. “And then they can’t function in a healthy way. You can tell who is a smoker by looking at them because you often see the same effects as sun.”

BODY SOAP IS NOT FOR THE FACE

Never use body soap as a facial cleanser. “That will just dry out your face,” Brauer said. “It won’t help at all.”

Instead, it will clog pores and counteract other healthy skin routines.

GET IN THE ROUTINE Photo by Christopher Robbins / ThinkStock

Both skin care experts stressed a daily routine to keep healthy skin.

“A daily cleanser and moisturizer is a key factor,” Brauer said. She said women should be particularly attentive during the winter, when the Colorado air dries any moisture that might be left.

“It helps maintain elasticity in the skin,” Brauer said, keeping it young and fresh.

FIND THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS

Barnes recommended topical C with L-ascorbic acid in a moisturizer.

“It’s phenomenal. It helps to stimulate collagen and can actually reverse signs of aging,” Barnes said. The magical chemical helps with fines lines and wrinkles, brightens the skin tone and improves its texture.

KNOW THE WRONG INGREDIENTS

Brauer said the main thing to look for in cleansers is a natural set of ingredients.

“It’s the same thing as food with preservatives,” Brauer said. Natural products are healthier for the skin, especially on the face.

KEEP YOUR OPTIONS OPEN

Barnes said there are a number of procedures women should keep in mind if they want something more than a daily routine to fight the onset of wrinkles.

One option many women like is photorejuvination, which targets fine lines, pigmentation and broken capillaries. “Women start seeing results immediately,” Barnes said. “It prepares and prevents.”

DEEP CLEAN

Another option is chemical peels, Brauer said.

“It’s a product that peels off two layers of skin for deep exfoliation,” she said, making it a great treatment for people with other skin problems like acne or sunspots.

EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE

Mechanical exfoliation through a process called microderm abrasion is a similar treatment that removes the top layer of skin cells, Barnes said.

“Women see lots of improvement over time with fine lines and pigmentation, but it takes longer.”

KEEP AT IT

Women who choose to get a treatment or even get a facial should continue a healthy regimen even if they get a deep clean.

“Good home care is essential,” Barnes said. “Product at home increases results in the office by 60 percent.”

Food Revolution

It’s time to fight back against childhood obesity!

Nutrition Services director Jeremy West and nutrition coordinator Kara Goff, RD have been with District 6 for less than a year, but they, along with their nutrition team, have been in makeover mode from start, working to raise the quality of food served in nearly 30 cafeterias. “We started our own revolution. It’s time to fight back against childhood obesity.” West said.

Goff points to the “menu makeover” that began at the end of 2009, resulting in new and improved menus, with more healthy choices at all levels. Among those improvements are increasing the overall nutritional integrity of menus, with lower fat and higher fiber content, a greater variety of fresh fruits and vegetables offered every day, fresher and less-processed food items. Goff said the next steps include working to add more items that are made from scratch rather than offering as much processed food, and constantly looking for ways to offer healthful foods that students can be excited about eating.

Adding more fresh, locally grown food

Other improvements in food quality come from a variety of state and local programs. One is Colorado School’s Harvest of the Month program, which features a fresh produce item each month and includes a student-education component as well as ways of incorporating the food in meals throughout the month. Another established effort is the Farm to School program. Over the last two years, the partnership has grown to support local farmers by purchasing directly from them – a program that benefits everyone, both by supporting the local economy and by giving students the freshest food possible.

What makes a healthy meal?

West and Goff set a goal of reducing the percent of total calories from fat in District 6 meals. Schools are required to limit fat calories to 35 percent of the total, but with the recent menu makeover, District 6 meals top out at 30 percent, maximum. That is a significant number when one considers that the district is on track to serve more than 2.5 million meals this school year at 27 sites.

Educating students and parents about healthy habits

With fresh deli offerings and salads mixed in, elementary students have three meal options for lunch each day. “Some of the feedback we’ve gotten is that they don’t want that kind of food, but it varies from school to school,” she said. “Some schools are really excited about it.” She said she is confident that, over time, increasing numbers of students will learn to embrace the healthiest foods offered.

That may be the greatest challenge facing school meal staff: Educating students on making good food choices. Parental involvement and support, especially in a time of reduced budgets for classroom initiatives, is key in getting the word out and really teaching students about nutrition. “Parents have got to be at the forefront,” Goff said.

Along with additional nutritional improvements, West said menus in the cafeterias next school year will include eye-catching images as well as nutrition information about the food so parents of young students, as well as older students themselves, can identify healthy choices before the students get in line.

Drug may slow growth of early prostate cancer

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Medical Writer

A

new study suggests a way to help men with early, low-risk prostate cancer avoid being overtreated for a disease that in most cases will never threaten their lives. It found that a drug can slow the growth of these tumors in men who opt to be monitored instead of having treatment right away.

This is the first time that a drug for treating enlarged prostates also has been shown to help treat prostate cancer in a rigorous study. It may persuade more men to choose active surveillance, or “watchful waiting,� instead of rushing to have treatments that can leave them with urinary or sexual problems, doctors say.

However, the results also show that most of these men do very well with no treatment at all. “We’re identifying men who are not likely to need even a pill,� said Dr. Maha Hussain, a University of Michigan cancer specialist.

But Americans fear cancer so much that they want some kind of treatment and underestimate the financial and medical risks of treating low-risk cases, she added.

She is program chair of a cancer conference in Florida

Online

Prostate cancer info: http:// www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/ types/prostate and http://tinyurl.com/ ASCOanswers Risk calculator: http://tinyurl. com/riskcalculator

where the study will be presented later this week. Results were released Tuesday in a telephone news conference sponsored by the American Society for Clinical Oncology.

Roughly half of the 218,000 men diagnosed each year in the United States with prostate cancer have low-risk disease — PSA blood levels under 10 and low tumor aggressiveness scores. “The American view of cancer� is that it’s always best to treat, so about 80 percent of these men choose to have that right away, said Dr. Otis Brawley, a prostate cancer expert who is chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society.

In Europe, though, most choose watchful waiting — close monitoring and treatment only if the cancer progresses or causes pain or other problems.

Doctors know that drugs that shrink the prostate — GlaxoSmithKline PLC’s Avodart and Merck & Co.’s Proscar — can help prevent

prostate cancer. But federal health advisers recently recommended against taking them for this purpose because of potential risks.

The new study tested Avodart “not to prevent cancer, but to prevent the progression� of it in men who already have the disease, which may be a much better use of such drugs, said the study’s leader, Dr. Neil Fleshner of University Health Network and Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. “We know the vast majority of these men are not destined to die from that cancer,� and wanted to see if Avodart could make “watchful waiting� safer, Fleshner said.

The study enrolled about 300 men in the United States and Canada with low-risk cancer that was confirmed by a biopsy. They were given daily Avodart or dummy pills and new biopsies 1 ½ and three years later.

Prostate cancer got worse in 38 percent of men taking Avodart and 49 percent of those on dummy pills. Final biopsies showed no signs of cancer in 36 percent of men on Avodart versus 23 percent of those on dummy pills. Doctors say this last result shows how tiny many of these cancers were to start with, that they couldn’t even be found when new biopsies

were done.

Doctors don’t think Avodart can cure cancers, but it seems to suppress it, said Dr. Howard Sandler, a prostate cancer specialist at CedarsSinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He had no role in the study but is involved with the cancer conference.

Researchers gave no details on Avodart’s side effects, but said no new ones appeared in the study. Avodart and Proscar are known to cause sexual problems for some men, but many men over 50 have this anyway and only about 5 percent more do when taking these drugs, said Brawley, who helped test Avodart for cancer prevention.

The new study was sponsored by Avodart’s maker, GlaxoSmithKline. Avodart and Proscar cost about $4 a pill; generic versions of Proscar are available for about $2. Proscar is similar to Avodart but has not been tested for treating early cancer as this study did.

Sandler said Avodart might relieve some men’s anxiety about monitoring their disease and may make them more comfortable not having immediate treatment. “If it was me, I’d choose active surveillance,� he said.

Avodart “has the potential to be an important help.�

Cancer society offers scholarships to survivors Staff reports The American Cancer Society is offering scholarships of up to $2,500 per academic year for young Colorado cancer survivors.

The aim of The Cancer Survivor College Scholarship Program is to give financial help to cancer survivors who

Cancer pain

Another reason not to smoke

F

requently, I take time in this column to discuss the health risk associated with tobacco use.

The relationship between smoking and many different types of cancer is well established; one would have to live under a rock to not know this fact. But it appears smoking may have an impact on those already diagnosed with cancer and the level of pain the experience.

In a study published in the January 2011 issue of PAIN, researchers report they have found evidence to suggest cancer patients who continue to smoke despite their diagnosis experience greater pain than nonsmokers.

They found that for a wide range of cancer types and for cancers in stages I

interference in their daily activities, as well as a demographics questionnaire.

Patients were asked to rate their perceived severity of bodily pain on a scale of 1 to 6 meaning that the pain is very severe, and the degree to which pain interfered with their daily routine, on a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 meaning no interference and 5 meaning extreme interference.

Current smokers experienced more severe pain than those who have never smoked, and also reported more interference from pain than either nonsmokers or former smokers.

Among former smokers, there was an inverse relation between pain and the number of years since quitting. The longer ago they had quit, the less pain they complained of, suggesting that quitting smoking may reduce pain over time, and the more time away from smoking, the better the pain control.

What does this mean to patients and physicians who treat cancer? First, physicians must do more

which pain interfered with a patient’s daily routine.

This finding could have a huge impact on our ability to treat and control pain that is experienced in many cancer patients.

In this study, researchers found that current smokers would report greater pain, pain interference with the activities of their daily life, and pain-related distress more than former smokers or those who stated that they had never smoked.

In this study, investigators surveyed 224 patients with a range of many different cancer diagnoses.

Patients completed selfreport exams as measures of pain severity, pain-related distress, and pain-related

to assist cancer patients to quit smoking after their diagnosis, not only for the health benefits, but also for the pain benefits.

It is possible the nicotine addiction and the chemicals in cigarettes interfere with the ability for pain medications to work as well as they should?

Although more research is needed to understand the mechanisms that relate nicotine to pain, physicians should aggressively promote smoking cessation among cancer patients. Preliminary findings suggest smoking cessation will improve the overall treatment response and quality of life.

Behaviors can increase risk of eating disorders Wire reports DENVER - An estimated five percent of Americans will suffer from an eating disorder at some point in their lifetime, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

During National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (Feb. 20-26), Eating Recovery Center (www.

EatingRecoveryCenter.com), a national center for eating disorders recovery, encourages people to be aware of behaviors and actions that could increase the risk of a loved one developing an eat-

ing disorder.

“Because eating disorders are genetic, an individual who has a family history is much more likely to be sensitive to others’ words and actions surrounding food and body image,” said Kenneth L. Weiner, MD, FAED, CEDS, chief executive officer and founding partner of Eating Recovery Center. “It’s important for families to talk about these deadly diseases and avoid behaviors and actions that could act as eating disorder triggers.”

For more information about National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, or to learn why the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) urges individuals to talk about these deadly diseases, visit www.nationaleatingdisorders. org.

these five seemingly harmless behaviors and actions that could increase the risk of a child or loved one developing an eating disorder: 1. The use of food as a reward or a punishment.

When parents use food as

a reward or punishment, it can teach their child to turn to food for comfort, tie emotions to eating and permanently affect a child’s relationship with food.

2. The comments you make about your appearance or the appearances of others. Negative remarks about your own appearance or body type, or disparaging comments about the appearances of others, can have a profound effect on a young child, a teenager or even a friend of yours. Keep remarks encouraging to foster an environment of positive

self-esteem and body image.

3. Labeling foods as “good” or “bad” foods. It is important not to list types of foods or entire food groups as “good” or “bad” because of their fat content, nutritional value, sodium amounts or otherwise.

4. Dieting. Not only does dieting keep people from listening to what their bodies need, 95 percent of individuals who go on a diet actually put the weight back on in the next two or three years. Furthermore, for an individual who is genetically predisposed to an

eating disorder, dieting can be a gateway to disordered eating behaviors.

5. Ignoring genetics. An individual with an immediate family member who had anorexia nervosa is 12 times more likely to develop the disease; and four times more likely to develop bulimia nervosa. Individuals with a family history should be especially vigilant of disordered eating behaviors if their loved one is involved in sports — especially those with a focus on weight management such as ballet, gymnastics or wrestling.

You can’t wait for one great super food to rescue you. But you can make sure your diet is packed with foods that have a ...

POWERFUL

PUNCH

By Meagan Birely mbirely@greeleytribune.com

I

f I eat this Acai berry, I’ll be healthy. False. Super foods, also known as foods that contain a powerful nutrient punch, seem to be in season right now. But one specific food can not change your entire diet.

What foods are good for you?

What foods are bad for you? Food research is always ongoing, and as Mary Branom, a registered dietician at North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley, says, you can talk to five different people and get five different opinions about what foods are the best for you.

Branom and Elizabeth Long, also a registered dietician at NCMC, agree that there is not just one food that can makeover your health, but rather, it’s about your diet as a whole.

“A variety is important,” Branom said. “Certainly foods may be called a functional food or have more powerful components to them that would take them above and beyond the basic nutrition.”

Long added to the super food definition, “A super food is technically something that is valued by its native country or has a high antioxidant count.”

Antioxidants have sure got researcher’s attention.

Branom defined antioxidants as “a comment of food that protects the body from wear and tear of oxidated stress.” She added damage can be done to the body’s cells by free radicals. Antioxidants can help prevent this damage or repair it.

Basically, they are your body’s cells protectors.

Researchers can qualify a food as “super” by seeing if it meets certain criteria for an ORAC value (oxygen radical absorbance capacity). Each food is given a value based on nutrients it contains.

Dole Food Company Inc. has posted USDA based research on top ranking ORAC foods. Here is a sampling from dolesuperfoods. com of top-rated foods that help a specific part of the body function.

Their antioxidant and nutritional value goes above and beyond most.

Right now, according to Long, the current trend is the Acai berry.

However, people in the U.S. are not getting the full nutritional value of the berry. It is native to Brazil where the berry is used by surfers for an energy boost. But the berries have a very short shelf life, and it is hard to get them here before they perish. So the Acai berry is often used as flavoring or as a byproduct, which eliminates most of the value.

“I don’t encourage the use of Acai berry products,” Long said.

“I’d rather have patients eat whole fruits and vegetables.”

Blueberries. One serving of blueberries contains high levels of fiber, which helps lower cholesterol, vitamin C and anthocyanins, which helps reduce buildup of cholesterol in the arteries. Blueberries can be eaten by themselves or baked into bread for muffins or coffee cake.

Eyes

Dole lists carrots as the super food for eyes. One serving is the top source for vitamin A. Research shows that this vitamin helps eyes adjust to bright light and to the darkness. Carrots are very versatile in cooking; they can be put in soups, salads, breads and more.

Oranges are an easy snack to take on the go, or to give out as a snack at a little league soccer game, but they pack antioxidant power in the vitamin C and foliate. The antioxidant fighters help protect the brain from free radicals that can cause nerve damage.

Skin

A half of a papaya ranks highest in vitamins C and A. As well as boosting your immune health, vitamin C helps skin cells regenerate.

Vitamin A also helps to keep your skin nourished. Dole recommends jazzing up the lemonade.

Immunity

Oranges and all of their vitamin C goodness certainly help with immunity, but the top ranking food, according to Dole may surprise you — cashews. Two ounces of cashews provide 10 percent more immune quality vitamins and minerals such as selenium and zinc. These two help boost the immune system response. Cashews also can add a crunch to salads or a chicken dish.

While these foods go above and beyond the nutritional requirement, it is important to remember they are not the only ones and to remember the essential role variety plays in your diet.

“I really don’t believe in anything such as a super food,” Long said.

“It’s kind of a fad, kind of a buzz.

No one food is going to provide you with (all your) nutritional needs.

It’s really about the diet as a whole.

There is truthfully not good or bad foods, there are good and bad food habits.”

You can’t wait for one great super food to rescue you. But you can make sure your diet is packed with foods that have a ...

POWERFUL

PUNCH

By Meagan Birely mbirely@greeleytribune.com

I

f I eat this Acai berry, I’ll be healthy. False. Super foods, also known as foods that contain a powerful nutrient punch, seem to be in season right now. But one specific food can not change your entire diet.

What foods are good for you?

What foods are bad for you? Food research is always ongoing, and as Mary Branom, a registered dietician at North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley, says, you can talk to five different people and get five different opinions about what foods are the best for you.

Branom and Elizabeth Long, also a registered dietician at NCMC, agree that there is not just one food that can makeover your health, but rather, it’s about your diet as a whole.

“A variety is important,” Branom said. “Certainly foods may be called a functional food or have more powerful components to them that would take them above and beyond the basic nutrition.”

Long added to the super food definition, “A super food is technically something that is valued by its native country or has a high antioxidant count.”

Antioxidants have sure got researcher’s attention.

Branom defined antioxidants as “a comment of food that protects the body from wear and tear of oxidated stress.” She added damage can be done to the body’s cells by free radicals. Antioxidants can help prevent this damage or repair it.

Basically, they are your body’s cells protectors.

Researchers can qualify a food as “super” by seeing if it meets certain criteria for an ORAC value (oxygen radical absorbance capacity). Each food is given a value based on nutrients it contains.

Dole Food Company Inc. has posted USDA based research on top ranking ORAC foods. Here is a sampling from dolesuperfoods. com of top-rated foods that help a specific part of the body function.

Their antioxidant and nutritional value goes above and beyond most.

Right now, according to Long, the current trend is the Acai berry.

However, people in the U.S. are not getting the full nutritional value of the berry. It is native to Brazil where the berry is used by surfers for an energy boost. But the berries have a very short shelf life, and it is hard to get them here before they perish. So the Acai berry is often used as flavoring or as a byproduct, which eliminates most of the value.

“I don’t encourage the use of Acai berry products,” Long said.

“I’d rather have patients eat whole fruits and vegetables.”

Sodium SHAKEDOWN

■■Colorado

health summit looks at how to cut back on sodium consumption

By CATHERINE TSAI Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD — State health officials are looking for ways large and small to gradually get Coloradans to eat less salt without their tastebuds noticing.

Last week, they announced tweaks in a health department program that aims to give diners healthier options at restaurants.

Later, state health officials may look at whether to change procurement policies to include nutrition standards in state agencies’ food contracts, said Susan Motika, food policy coordinator for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

The goal is to help Coloradans follow new U.S. dietary guidelines calling for most Americans to slash their sodium intake to lower blood pressure and the risk of heart disease and stroke.

“We certainly won’t stop people from dying, but wouldn’t it be nice for as long as we live, we live a healthy life,” the state’s chief medical officer Dr. Christopher Urbina said at the health department’s Summit on Sodium.

The summit brought together food manufacturers, cooks, health departments and others. The state is dealing with an estimated $1 billion budget gap, but organizers said the summit was funded by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Last month, the federal government said people should limit daily sodium intake to 2,300 milligrams, or about one-third less than the average person now consumes. Those who are 51 and older, AfricanAmerican or suffering

istockphoto

from high blood pressure, diabetes or chronic kidney disease were advised to limit intake to 1,500 milligrams daily.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and

Environment’s Smart Meal Seal program uses labels at participating restaurants to identify menu options that meet certain standards, including having less than 1,500 milligrams of sodium

per meal. The health department said last week the limit is dropping to 1,350 milligrams this year and to 1,200 next year.

“We’re balancing consumer taste and public

health goals,” said Eric Aakko, the health department’s healthy living branch unit director.

The program is being supported with an $860,000 grant from the

Colorado Health Foundation.

States and cities around the country are taking different approaches to cutting sodium intake.

Massachusetts includes low-sodium standards and other healthy standards in state agencies’ contracts for food and beverages at places like jails and hospitals. New York City has a similar initiative.

Meanwhile, companies such as Starbucks Corp. and H.J. Heinz Co. have committed to the National Salt Reduction Initiative to reduce sodium in products by 25 percent over five years — and not just in the highest-sodium products.

“If you want to put a dent in sodium intake, you have to reduce sodium in foods like bread that don’t have much sodium per slice but that people eat a lot of,” said Lawrence Appel, director for the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology and Clinical Research at The Johns Hopkins University.

Reducing salt has its challenges because it’s a preservative, adds flavor and is integral in making some foods like cheese.

Denver chef Frank Bonanno said he’s cut nearly all the salt from his own diet for health reasons. He misses it. His kids haven’t.

“To get them to eat things they didn’t want to eat, I tended to put salt and butter on them. Now they’re still eating them because they just trust me that I’m making it the same way,” he said.

Bonanno said home cooks looking to cut sodium should avoid processed foods and concentrate on other flavors in a dish.

“A big squeeze of lemon goes a long way,” he said.

IN A NUTSHELL CRACK OPEN A SNACK THAT IS PACKED WITH NUTRITION

By Jill Wendholt Silva The Kansas City Star

Photo by Viewstock

Step away from the vending machine.

Or were you going to pull the lever for a packet of mixed nuts?

Nuts are an easily portable and tasty snack for busy people on the run. Tuck a bag into a desk drawer, glove compartment, purse pocket or backpack for days when the munchies strike.

Recent nutrition studies rank pecans, walnuts and almonds among the most nutritious nuts because they are high in both protein and omega-3 fats. All three are excellent sources of manganese. Walnuts add omega-3 and copper. Almonds are an excellent source of vitamin E. All nuts are high in protein, as well as good fats and fiber, potassium and magnesium. To link to the latest studies on nuts, go to www.nuthealth.org, a site sponsored by the International Tree Nut Council.

Despite all the good news about nuts, it still a good idea to avoid tucking into a bowl at a party, or you just might wind up eating more calories than you need.

Portion control is the key to enjoying these Spicy Maple-Glazed Nuts. A serving of nuts is roughly 1/4 cup, or a of nuts. We like to use a deviled-egg plate as a serving tray at a party. Two is equivalent to about 1/4 cup. Of course, it doesn really matter if guests know that little trick. Easy-to-see portions help everyone avoid the trap of mindless eating.

Back at the vending machine, you might want to check the label for the amount of sodium added.

A spice mixture of cumin, cayenne and maple syrup adds a spicy tang without as much salt.

Shopping tip: Real maple syrup is an excellent companion for nuts.

Regular or light pancake syrup can be used, but watch more closely for

over-browning if pancake syrup is used.

Nuts are high in natural fats, so they spoil easily. And they are not inexpensive. Buy them in bulk, then protect your investment by storing them in the freezer for up to 1 year.

Serving tips: For a snack mix, combine spiced nuts with raisins, sweetened dried cranberries or chopped, pitted dried fruits, if desired.

This nut mixture also is excellent served as a crunchy, tasty topping on salads or sprinkled on yogurt, cereal, pasta or cooked vegetables.

SPICY MAPLE-GLAZED NUTS:

6 (¼-cup) servings 1/2 cup pecan halves 1/2 cup walnut pieces 1/2 cup whole, unblanched almonds 1 tablespoon maple syrup 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1/8 teaspoon cayenne 1/8 teaspoon salt Procedure: 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Line a 10-by-15-inch jelly-roll pan with parchment paper.

2. Combine nuts in mixing bowl.

Drizzle syrup over nuts, then sprinkle with seasonings. Toss to coat nuts evenly.

3. Spread nuts in single layer on prepared pan. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until lightly toasted, stirring midway through.

Nutrition data per 1/4-cup serving: 248 calories (76 percent from fat), 22 grams total fat (2 grams saturated), no cholesterol,9 grams carbohydrates, 7 grams protein, 47 milligrams sodium, 3 grams dietary fiber.

Recipe developed for The Kansas City Star by professional home economists Kathryn Moore and Roxanne Wyss.
