Friends planning to retire getting lots of free advice DEAR ABBY: In response to “Contemplating Change in Rhode Island” (June 23), who is considering retiring with a friend to a city with a warmer climate, I would offer the same advice we have given our friends. She should know that she’ll need to be proactive in developing a social network in her new location. My wife and I also moved far south when we retired. We wanted neighbors with a variety of ages so we could hear children play nearby from time to time. We purchased a house in a “normal” neighborhood instead of a retirement community. But we soon realized that, unlike us, our neighbors had jobs, family responsibilities and little time for us. More disconcerting was going grocery shopping and no longer seeing the three or four acquaintances we would see

DEAR ABBY: I want to encourage your Rhode Island reader. Renting first is excellent advice. Research what you want in your new destination. Make sure it’s a growing community where transplants will be welcome. — RETIREE IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

DEAR DOCTOR K: My wife has read that eating red meat increases the risk of diabetes. Is this true? DEAR READER: You’ve heard for a long time that limiting the amount of red meat — especially processed foods with red meat, such as salami —reduces your risk of heart disease. The evidence for that is very strong. A new study finds that cutting down on red meats such as beef, pork and lamb may have an additional benefit: reducing the risk of diabetes. In this study, researchers followed 149,000 people who answered questions about their diet every four years, for 12 to 16 years. They found that people who increased their intake of red meat -- by as little as half a serving, or 1.5 ounces, per day -- had a 48 percent greater risk of developing Type 2 diabetes (the most common type of diabetes) than people who

meat may increase the risk of heart disease. A certain substance that is present in large amounts in red meat (L-carnitine) is digested by bacteria that live in our intestines. The bacteria then produce a substance that damages the lining of arteries. Whenever I talk about the health effects of food, I worry that I may be misunderstood. When I recommend avoiding certain foods, I’m not saying to never eat them. And when I recommend having a lot of certain foods, I’m not saying eat nothing but them. I eat red meat, but not as often as I used to. And I eat lots of fruits and vegetables, but I don’t have them with absolutely every meal. All things in moderation! DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.
