Fruit and Vegetable Month

Topics:

1.)Fruits and Vegetables on the Go!
Busy lives can benefit from food that's nutritious, yet easy to eat on-the-
go, like fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are a natural 
source of energy and give the body many nutrients you need to keep going.

2.)The Colors of Health
Fruits and veggies come in terrific colors and flavors, but their real 
beauty lies in whats inside. Fruits and vegetables are great sources of 
many vitamins, minerals and other natural substances that may help protect 
you from chronic diseases.

To get a healthy variety, think color. Eating fruits and vegetables of 
different colors gives your body a wide range of valuable nutrients, like 
fiber, folate, potassium, and vitamins A and C. Some examples include green 
spinach, orange sweet potatoes, black beans, yellow corn, purple plums, red 
watermelon, or white onions. For more variety, try new fruits and vegetables 
regularly.

Fitness - Steps to a Healthy Life

Exercise: How much & what kind?
You need to exercise for about 30 minutes every day. Setting aside 30 
minutes all at once each day is one way to get in enough exercise. If you 
wait until the end of the day to squeeze it in, you probably wont exercise 
enough or at all. If youre not active for 30 minutes straight, its okay to 
exercise for 10 or 20 minutes at a time throughout the day.

Different exercises 
No matter what your shape  apple, pear, ruler, or hourglass  there's an 
exercise for you!

Pick exercises you like to do and choose a few different options so you 
dont get bored. 
Aim to exercise most days of the week. If youre not very active right now, 
start slowly and work your way up to being active every day. 
There are three levels of physical activity.

Light  not sweating; not breathing hard (slow walking, dancing) 
Moderate  breaking a sweat; can talk but cant sing (walking fast, dancing) 
Vigorous  sweating, breathing hard, cant talk or sing (running, swimming 
laps)

Exercise  Muscles Worked  
Push-ups Chest, shoulders, arms, abdominals 
Sit-ups Abdominals 
Jumping Jacks Calves (lower leg), inner/outer thigh, butt 
Running Calves, front/back thigh 
Jumping rope Calves, thighs, abdominals, shoulders, arms 
Swimming  Nearly all major muscles 
Dancing Nearly all major muscles (depending on type of dance)

LIPSTICKS CONTAINING LEAD:
     
From: Dr. Nahid Neman (Walter Reed Medical Center)

Recently a lipstick brand called "Red Earth" decreased their prices

from $67.00 to $9.90. They contained lead. Lead is a chemical which

causes cancer.

The lipstick Brands that contain lead are:

1. CHRISTIAN DIOR
2. LANCOME
3. CLINIQUE
4. Y.S.L
5. ESTEE LAUDER
6. SHISEIDO
7. RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
8. CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
9. MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.

The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing cancer.

After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the
Y.S.L. lipstick contained the highest of lead.

Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer.

If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of the higher content of lead.

Here is the test you can do yourself:

1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
3. If the lipstick color changes to black, then you know the lipstick
contains lead.

Remember: Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast cancer.

February: 
President's Month
    
The historic significance of Barack Obama's win for the Presidency of the 
United States.

"The significance of the win in perspective. "It's history"

Samiour Patterson has two children and said Obama's victory means everything 
to him and his family. "It's amazing when I can sit here and finally 
say, you know what? You can do this. If you want to be the president of the 
United States when you grow up, you can."

His family celebrated Tuesday night with a "yes we can" cake. Patterson is 
African-American, but he says it wasn't about black or white in the election.

"It means a lot to us, it's a true picture of America. We've come together 
as the United States of America rather than just black people or white 
people. We've come together as a nation."

The youth of America saw testmony of positive sayings reflecting 
reality. "In America anything is possible. You can be whatever you want to 
be. You can acheive whatever you want to acheive."

An extraordinary history lesson.

HEALTHY SKIN MONTH

Foods good for the skin:

Strawberries smoothie mask:

Strawberries have more anti-aging vitamin C per serving than oranges or 
grapefruit. Research shows that people who eat foods rich in vitamin C have 
fewer wrinkles (vitamin C helps fight free radicals, which break down 
collagen, leading to those dreaded lines) and less age-related dry skin. 
Apply a mask once or twice a week, and eat C-rich foods daily.

Recipe: 
1 cup of frozen or fresh strawberries (you can also substitute in 
raspberries and/or blueberries  theyre loaded with antioxidants) 
1 cup of vanilla or plain yogurt 
1 1/2 tablespoons of honey (a great moisturizer)

Easy green tea eye treatment: 
 
Curling up to a cup of green tea does a lot more than relax you. Green tea 
is filled with inflammation-fighting antioxidants. Whats more, research 
shows that drinking green tea may reduce your risk of skin cancer. (And when 
you add a generous squeeze of citrus juice-like lemon, lime, or orange  the 
teas antioxidants get a boost of staying power).

Recipe: 
Chill any leftover damp tea bags in the fridge for an hour and then put them 
on your eyes for 10-15 minutes.

Sip at least three big mugs of green tea every day for an antioxidant boost. 
Green tea contains tannins, which can help reduce puffiness when applied to 
skin.

Pumpkin pudding facial

Pumpkins orange hue is from carotenoids, wrinkle-fighting plant pigments 
that help neutralize free radicals in the skin. Pumpkin is filled with 
vitamins C, E, and A, as well as powerful enzymes that help to cleanse the 
skin. Although the seeds make a great fiber-filled snack, you get the skin-
saving antioxidants from the pulp. Eat and apply the facial once a week.

Recipe:
In a food processor or blender combine: 
2 cups canned pumpkin 
4 tablespoons low-fat vanilla yogurt 
4 tablespoons honey 
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 
Coat face; leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse.

Pomegranate exfoliating scrub

Pomegranates are one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits. Eat some fresh 
pomegranate (in season now through January) or use it in the age-fighting 
scrub. Apply once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells.

Recipe:
Cut off the pomegranate crown, and score the rind in sections, without 
cutting all the way through. Place in a bowl of water for 5-10 minutes. 
Break rind away from seeds, which will sink; strain seeds.

In a food processor combine: 
2 tablespoons of seeds 
1 cup of uncooked oatmeal 
Transfer to bowl 
Stir 2 tablespoons of honey (an antiseptic) 
2 tablespoons of buttermilk 
Apply to face for a few minutes, then rinse. 
Enjoy remaining pomegranate seeds au natural or with your favorite cheese.

PROTECTING YOUR SKIN

Most skin cancers are caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, but some 
may come from man made sources, such as tanning beds.
Ultraviolet rays are a form of invisible energy given off by the sun.

What To Do In An Emergency By: Import Auto Maintenance, Nashville, TN.

What To Do In An Emergency... Handling The Unexpected

An emergency can occur at any time. Do you know what procedures to follow?  
Here are some tips from experts:

If  you see smoke coming from under your hood:

Pull over and turn off ignition.

Do not open the hood. It could create a draft that would cause a fire to 
spread. 
Don't try to fight a fire, even if it is small.  Your car is full of 
combustible materials such as air bags, tires, and gasoline. 
Stand at least 100 feet away from the car in case of an explosion. 
Call the fire department. 
If anybody stop and offers help, ask them to please leave your car alone.  
It is better to let it burn than have the person injured by the blaze.
If your warning lights go on while driving:

Oil Pressure or Coolant Temperature:

Pull off the road and phone for help.  DO NOT continue driving as it may 
result in destroying your engine.  Have your vehicle checked by a 
professional before restarting.

Engine Warning Lights:

Stop immediately and check your owner's manual to find out what action is 
required.

Charging System:

Check your belts first.  If all are secure, turn off all accessories such as 
wipers, radio, air conditioning. Drive only a short distance to the nearest 
service station. Do NOT stop and restart your car.

Brake Warning Light:

Be sure your emergency brake is in working order before proceeding to the 
nearest service station.  If possible, stop and call for help.

Gas Warning Light:

Make a point of filling your car before the gauge gets down to 1/4 full - 
Running your car on a low tank of gas can seriously foul your fuel injection 
system because of the debris and water condensation which collects in the 
bottom of your gas tank.  You may only drive a short distance to the nearest 
gast station if your warning light is on.  Never keep a spare can of gas in 
your car- it can ignite on impact.  If your car runs out of gas it may take 
several attempts to restart it.  Remember to avoid running your battery down 
trying to start your car - you then have two problems.   Don't pump the 
throttle - it won't recover fuel any faster and could flood your engine.  If 
it won't start after one minute of cranking or runs poorly - call a 
professional.

If you're in an accident:

Put on your flashers immediately (if working) and turn off your engine. 
Check for injury.  If someone is injured do not move them - call for help. 
Move cars out of the road if possible. 
Exchange information.  You will need the following:  License plate number, 
Complete Driver's License information, Current address and home and work 
phone numbers, Ask to see insurance card and copy down insurance company 
name, phone number and policy number. 
Take down officer's name and badge number, and police report number. 
Get witnesses' name, address, and phone and discuss what they saw. 
Document the events by talking with the other driver and recording a factual 
description of the events. 
Don't admit guilt. 
Don't sign anything. 
Call your insurance agent.
Towing:

If your car needs towing, do so immediately.  The cost of even minor 
vandalism is several times more than the tow charge.  Any police officer 
will call a tow truck for you.  Use only a tow service with the company 
name, permit number and D.O.T. number displayed on the truck.  Stay with 
your car if possible.  You are usually more visible and safer. Tow your 
vehicle either to your home or intended repair facility.

November:

Students don't wash their hands often or well. In one study, only 58% of 
female and 48% of male middle- and high-school students washed their hands 
after using the bathroom. Yuck!

How to Wash Your Hands Correctly:

There's a right way to wash your hands. A splash of water and a drop or two 
of soap won't do the trick. Follow these simple steps to keep your hands 
clean:

Use warm water (not cold or hot).

Use whatever soap you like. Antibacterial soaps are popular but regular soap 
works fine. If you suspect that your hands have come into contact with 
someone with an infection, think about using an alcohol hand sanitizer. 
Rub your hands together vigorously and scrub all surfaces: Lather up on both 
sides of your hands, your wrists, between your fingers, and around your 
nails. Wash for 15 seconds - about how long it takes to sing "Happy 
Birthday."

Rinse well under warm running water and pat dry with a clean towel. 
In public restrooms, consider using a paper towel to flush the toilet and 
open the door because toilet and door handles harbor germs. Throw the towel 
away after you leave.

To prevent chapping or dry skin, use a mild soap with warm water, pat rather 
than rub hands dry, and apply a moisturizing lotion liberally afterwards.

When there is no soap or water available, waterless hand soaps or scrubs are 
a good alternative. They're usually available as a liquid, wipes, or 
towelettes.

OCTOBER:

TOPICS:  1.) INFLUENZA or the "FLU"
         2.) RESISTANCE STAPH AUREUS

INFLUENZA or the "FLU"

Influenza, or the "flu," is a illness of the breathing system (respiratory 
system) and muscles caused by a virus.
Mild cases of the flu may seem like common colds. But most cases of the flu 
can be distinguished from colds because the symptoms (cough, muscle aches 
and pains, sore throat, fatigue, and headache) are more severe than those of 
the common cold. Flu symptoms also tend to occur suddenly and include high 
fevers (temperatures of 101 degrees F or more). In children, fevers are 
typically even higher than those in adults.

The flu is a serious illness that can be fatal in people whose immune 
systems are weakened, the elderly, and those with chronic medical 
conditions. Even healthy people who develop the flu cannot work, attend 
school, or participate in normal activities for several days. Complications 
of the flu can develop in anyone and include pneumonia, ear infections, 
sinus infections, or bronchitis. 
 
What is influenza?

Influenza, commonly called "the flu," is an illness caused by viruses that 
infect the respiratory tract. Compared with most other viral respiratory 
infections, such as the common cold, influenza (flu) infection often causes 
a more severe illness with a mortality rate (death rate) of about 0.1% of 
people who are infected with the virus. Unusually severe worldwide outbreaks 
(pandemics) have occurred several times in the last 100 years since 
influenza virus was identified in 1933. By an examination of preserved 
tissue, the worst influenza pandemic occurred in 1918.

What are the causes of the flu?

Influenza viruses are divided into three types, designated A, B, and C. 
Influenza types A and B are responsible for epidemics of respiratory illness 
that occur almost every winter and are often associated with increased rates 
of hospitalization and death. Influenza type C differs from types A and B in 
some important ways. Type C infection usually causes either a very mild 
respiratory illness or no symptoms at all; it does not cause epidemics and 
does not have the severe public health impact of influenza types A and B. 
Efforts to control the impact of influenza are aimed at types A and B, 
 
What are flu symptoms?

Typical clinical features of influenza include

fever (usually 100 F to 103 F 
respiratory symptoms such as: cough, sore throat, runny nose, headache, 
muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrrhea ("stomach flu") and fatigue.

TREATMENT:

Get plenty of rest
Sleep with an extra pillow
Drink hot liquids
apply hot / cold packs to sinuses for congestion
Take steam showers
Don't fly unless necessary

FOODS TO EAT:
Here are some good foods to eat when you're battling a cold or flu:

Bananas: Soothe upset stomachs. 
Bell Peppers: Loaded with vitamin C. 
Blueberries: Curbs diarrhea, high in natural aspirin. (May lower fevers and 
help with the aches and pains.) 
Carrots: Loaded with beta-carotene. 
Chili Peppers: Can open sinuses, and help break up mucus in the lungs. 
Cranberries: Help prevent bacteria from sticking to cells lining the bladder 
and urinary tract. 
Mustard & Horseradish: Helps break up mucus in air passages. 
Onion: Has phytochemicals purported to help the body clear bronchitis and 
other infections. 
Rice: Curbs diarrhea. 
Tea: Black and green tea (not herbals) contain catechin, a phytochemical 
purported to have natural antibiotic and anti-diarrhea effects.

RESISTANT STAPH AUREUS

Im sure you have heard in the news the concerns about an outbreak of a drug 
resistant staph infection in schools.  In this memo I would like to discuss 
information regarding MRSA resistant staph infection.

1.)  Staph is carried commonly on the skin or in the nose of healthy    
people. 
 2.)  25  30% of the population is colonized with staph.
 3.)  Staph is the most common cause of skin infections, most of which are 
minor and can be treated with 
antibiotics.                                         
 4.)  MRSA is a staph that is resistant to antibiotics.
 5.)  In the community, staph is usually manifested as rashes, blisters, 
boils, other skin conditions often mistaken for spider bites.
       
 6.)  The area is red, swollen, painful and may have 
drainage.                                                                    
                                                               
 7.)  Untreated, infections can get worse, spread to bloodstream or lungs.

Populations at RISK for MRSA resistant staph infection:

1.)	Athletes, school athletes and individuals going to a gym.
2.)	Children in Day Care

Mode of TRANSMISSION:

1.)	Direct contact  Open cuts, nicks and skin abrasions.
2.)	Indirect contact  Contaminated surfaces (cell phones, gym 
equipment: mats/ weight 
benches, balls, towels, door knobs and tables.)

REDUCING the RISK:

1.)	Cover skin infections with clean bandages. Do Not take a rash, 
abrasion,  rug burn or open wound casually.
2.)	Wear clothing that covers the infected area.
3.)	Wash your hands frequently during the day.
4.)	Do Not share personal items, water bottles, towels,or a bar of soap.
5.)	Clean your bathroom and personal items frequently.
6.)	Wash bedding, towels and clothing in hot water, dry in a dryer.
7.)	Place a towel or clothing between your skin and surfaces of the gym 
equipment.
8.)	Take a shower after your workout.

Fitness - Steps to a Healthy Life

Different exercises 
No matter what your shape  apple, pear, ruler, or hourglass  there's an 
exercise for you!

Body: Getting enough sleep
 
How do I know if Im not getting enough sleep?
Did you know that teens need 8.5 to 9 hours of sleep a night? But research 
shows that, on average, teens get just 7 to 7.5 hours a night. If you dont 
get enough sleep, you may have problems paying attention in class or doing 
your homework. Or you could become moody, irritable, or depressed.

You may not be getting enough sleep if you:

have a hard time getting up in the morning 
cant focus 
fall asleep during class 
feel moody or very sad 
Dos and Donts for Better Sleep

Go to bed and wake up at the same time every dayeven on the weekends! 
Exercise regularly. Try to exercise in the morning or afternoon. Exercise at 
least five to six hours before bedtime. 
Eat dinner at least two to three hours before you go to bed. 
Avoid bright lights right before bed, including the ones that come from the 
TV or the computer screen. Sleep in a dark room. Darkness tells your body 
its time for sleep. 
Sleep in a slightly cool room. If you can't control the temperature, try 
using fewer blankets or dressing lightly. 
Follow a bedtime routine. If you do the same things each night before you go 
to bed, your body will know when its time for sleep. Take a warm bath or 
shower. Or drink a glass of milk. 
Wake up to bright light. Light tells your body its time to get up. 
Listen to your body. If youre feeling tired, go to sleep. If you cant fall 
asleep within 20 minutes of going to bed, get up and do something else until 
you start to feel sleepy.

Dont

Take in too much caffeine (found in coffee, soda, chocolate, and energy 
drinks). If you cant cut caffeine out completely, try not to have any late 
in the day. 
Eat, drink, or exercise right before bedtime. 
Watch TV, work on the computer, or talk on the phone too close to bedtime. 
Take naps that last longer than 30 minutes or take naps too close to 
bedtime. 
Stay up all night studying. Try breaking studying up into chunks and doing a 
little each night. If you pull an all-nighter, you may be too tired to do 
well on your test. 
Stress out. Before you go to bed, write a to-do list. Youll be less likely 
to worry about things if youve written them down.

LIPSTICKS CONTAINING LEAD:
     
From: Dr. Nahid Neman (Walter Reed Medical Center)

Recently a lipstick brand called "Red Earth" decreased their prices

from $67.00 to $9.90. They contained lead. Lead is a chemical which

causes cancer.

The lipstick Brands that contain lead are:

1. CHRISTIAN DIOR
2. LANCOME
3. CLINIQUE
4. Y.S.L
5. ESTEE LAUDER
6. SHISEIDO
7. RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
8. CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
9. MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.

The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing cancer.

After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the
Y.S.L. lipstick contained the highest of lead.

Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer.

If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of the higher content of lead.

Here is the test you can do yourself:

1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
3. If the lipstick color changes to black, then you know the lipstick
contains lead.

Remember: Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast cancer.

KEEPING WARM:

Layer, layer, layer.
      Cover body, head to toe.(gloves and hats are a must)
      
      WINTER FOODS:
     
      Legumes (fiber / protein), turkey (protein), citrus fruits /        
      cranberries / strawberries(Vitamin C, Vitamin B & folate), winter
      squash (Vit. A, B, C, Fiber & magnesium), Cabbage and kale (Vit. A,C
      beta carotene, folate, iron, magnesium, fiber & potassium.

   2.) Advantages to Stop Smoking
   3.) The drink Vault

Habits for Good Health
These steps may help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses such as the 
flu:

Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneezethrow the 
tissue away after you use it.

Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or 
sneeze. If you are not near water, use an alcohol-based hand cleaner.

Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your 
distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.

If you get the flu, stay home from work, school, and social gatherings. In 
this way you will help prevent others from catching your illness.

Try not to touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs often spread this way.

Increase fruits and vegtables.

Sleep 6 - 8 hours a night.

Advantages to stop smoking:

When Smokers QuitThe Health Benefits Over Time Are:  
 
20 minutes after quitting: Your heart rate and blood pressure drops.

12 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to 
normal.

2 weeks to 3 months after quitting: Your circulation improves and your lung 
function increases.

1 to 9 months after quitting: Coughing and shortness of breath decrease; 
cilia (tiny hair-like structures that move mucus out of the lungs) regain 
normal function in the lungs, increasing the ability to handle mucus, clean 
the lungs, and reduce the risk of infection.

1 year after quitting: The excess risk of coronary heart disease is half 
that of a smoker's.

5 years after quitting: Your stroke risk is reduced to that of a nonsmoker 5 
to 15 years after quitting.

10 years after quitting: The lung cancer death rate is about half that of a 
continuing smoker's. The risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, 
bladder, cervix, and pancreas decrease.

15 years after quitting: The risk of coronary heart disease is that of a 
nonsmoker's.

THE DRINK VAULT

Vault is a citrus energy drink from the Coca-Cola Company.  A 12oz bottle
has 70.5mg of caffeine. A 12 oz bottle of cola has 45.5mg of caffeine. The 
FDA limits 65mg of caffeine in a beverage.
                                                                             
   The drink stimulates the Central Nervous System, Cardiac Muscle and the 
Respiratory System. The serious health effects are: anxiety, heart 
palpitations, increased heart rate, irritability, stomach complaints and 
difficulty sleeping.

Percautions against foodborne Illness.

You're probably already taking precautions against foodborne illness at 
home, but you need to be careful when you are away from home too. Here are 
four easy steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones when 
you are selecting foods that are ready to eat at a restaurant, delicatessen, 
take-out counter, or grocery store. 
 
1   Be Aware of Raw or Undercooked Foods

Foods from animals such as meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, and eggs when 
eaten raw or undercooked sometimes contain harmful viruses and bacteria that 
can pose a risk of foodborne illness. Young children, pregnant women, older 
adults, and those with compromised immune systems are particularly 
vulnerable.

To reduce your chances of foodborne illness you should stay away from:

Raw fish or shellfish oysters, clams, sushi, sashimi, ceviche 
Meat or seafood ordered undercooked such as "rare" hamburger, beef, lamb, 
pork, or fish. 
Eggs ordered undercooked and food with uncooked egg ingredientssuch 
as "runny" fried or poached eggs; dressings or sauces such as hollandaise, 
homemade mayonnaise, and Caesar salad dressing; desserts like chocolate 
mousse, meringue pie, and tiramisu.

2   Ask About Preparation

Recipes vary. If you're not sure whether a ready-to-eat item contains 
undercooked ingredients, ask how the food is prepared.

3   Request that Food be Thoroughly Cooked

If the item you are interested in selecting contains raw or undercooked 
meat, fish, shellfish, or eggs, ask if that ingredient can be eliminated. If 
the food is prepared to order, ask for it thoroughly cooked.

4   Make a Different Choice

With certain foods, such as oysters on the half shell or an egg-based 
mousse, it may be impossible to accommodate your request for thorough 
cooking. In that case, simply choose something else. It is a minor 
inconvenience compared to the major problems caused by foodborne illness.

Sept.is fruit and vegetable month
Topics:
1.)Fruits and Vegetables on the Go!
Busy lives can benefit from food that's nutritious, yet easy to eat on-the-
go, like fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are a natural 
source of energy and give the body many nutrients you need to keep going.

Women's health     www.Womenshealth.gov   www.girlshealth.gov

Taking care of yourself:

Respiratory, asthma, difficutly breathing with activity?
Everyone wants to be outside in this beautiful weather.  
If you have respiratory problems you should be aware of the daily Air 
Quality Index. ( Pollen level and Pollution level ) Check the pollen and 
pollution reports via newspaper, radio or web ( www.epa.gov/airnow ) 
Increase 
fluids, take prescribed medication to mininize allergy symptoms and frequent 
rest periods with activity.  Limit outdoor activity during Orange 
or Red air quality days.

Abstinence:

Abstinence is a major aspect in the Decision Making Process.  Individuals   
maintain abstinence for may reasons. Religion, fear of pregnancy, STD's and 
personal goals effecting one's future play a major role.  It is the only 
100% effective method of not becoming pregnant and not acquiring various 
STD's.  Abstinence is a matter of choice.  It plays a pivotal role in self 
esteem and personal reputation.  Abstinence is a conscious and at times a 
difficult decision of personal value and self respect. It is termed the best 
choice.

ALCOHOL

A DRINK ...
(150 calories)   12 ounces of regular beer
(100 calories)   5 ounces of wine
(100 calories)   1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits
  
This limit is based on differences between the sexes in both weight and 
metabolism.

Alcoholic beverages supply calories but few nutrients. Alcoholic beverages 
are harmful when consumed in excess, and some people should not drink at 
all. Excess alcohol alters judgment and can lead to dependency and a great 
many other serious health problems. Alcohol may cause social and 
psychological problems, cirrhosis of the liver, inflammation of the 
pancreas, and damage to the brain and heart. Heavy drinkers also are at risk 
of malnutrition because alcohol contains calories that may substitute for 
those in nutritious foods. 
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who should not drink?

Some people should not drink alcoholic beverages at all. These include:
 Children and adolescents. 
  
Individuals who plan to drive, operate machinery, or take part in other 
activities that require attention, skill or coordination. Most people retain 
some alcohol in the blood up to 2 to 3 hours after a single drink. 
 
Individuals taking prescription or over-the counter medications that can 
interact with alcohol. Alcohol alters the effectiveness or toxicity of many 
medications, and some medications may increase blood alcohol levels.

IDENTIFYING AN EATING DISORDER:

1. Weight: 15 % below ideal body weight. Refusal to maintain a normal weight 
or above normal weight for height and age. Not everyone who is of a low 
weight is anorexic; it is important to recognize that it is the REFUSAL to 
maintain a normal weight that is the key factor.

2.  Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even if underweight.

This intense fear is powerful enough to cause individuals to diet to the 
point of starvation. A person with anorexia is hungry but he or she is 
afraid to eat because of the fear. Often specific foods are avoided 
especially those that are high in fat and calories. Often individuals will 
become vegetarians and want to eat healthily when indeed the issue is the 
fear of gaining weight.

A person with anorexia constantly thinks about food--how many calories, how 
many fat grams, how much exercise do you need to do if you eat a cookie, 
etc. How many times do you check the scale. Your entire life can be centered 
on this one issue, depriving you of enjoying friends, fun and family.

3. Body Image Problems

When a person with anorexia looks into a mirror he/she does not often see an 
accurate reflection. A person with anorexia sees him/herself as fat, even if 
he/she is dangerously thin. This is a very frightening experience and feels 
very real- driving the person to diet.

Sometimes a person with anorexia can accept that he/she is very thin but 
cannot accept how dangerous the situation really is. It is difficult for 
him/her to understand that a very low weight and dangerous dieting habits 
can actually be fatal. The death rate for anorexia is higher than for any 
other psychiatric illness.

4. Ammenorrhea or Absence of Menstruation

Missing 3 periods is usually the criteria for this definition.

WHO IS AT RISK OF DEVELOPING AN EATING DISORDER:

Everyone!  In every race, culture, age group, and sex there are people with 
eating disorders.  Yet, in this section ANAD identifies the groups who are 
at a greater risk.

Females: Because of the increased number of media images portraying 'thin 
and perfect' models, many girls struggle with body image issues that 
potentially result in eating disorders.

Youth: Early adolescence to early adulthood with 11 and 17 identified as 
times for increased vulnerability. Perhaps they represent time of change. 
The 11 year old may be experiencing changes in her body hormonally as she 
becomes ready to get her periods. Often there is increase in fat in 'all the 
wrong places' creating anxiety. Perhaps it is even more difficult when the 
school, in a well meaning attempt to have children be healthy, measure body 
fat. Of course, there is always the issues of boys and what culture tells 
about having an attractive body.

The onset of eating disorders can occur at any age, however and the age of 
onset does appear to be getting younger.

Eating disorders can occur at any time and certainly reports of adult onset 
and individuals at 70 years of age have been reported.

Minorities: Once considered an illness of affluent white females, the 
picture has dramatically changed. In the US, eating disorders appear to be 
as common among Hispanic as well as Caucasian women. Recent focus of African 
American women indicates that it is more common than expected. Black women 
are prone more to bulimia nervosa and abuse of laxatives. There appears to 
be an overall increase in other countries.

Athletes: Women participating in certain sports such as gymnastics and 
distance running are especially vulnerable. Men involved in wrestling are 
often at risk as they attempt to make weight.

Genetics:  Evidence is pointing to the fact that there is a strong genetic 
component to the illness. There also seems to be some sort of relationship 
between eating disorders and substance abuse, affective disorders 
(depression and bipolar) and anxiety disorders.

EARTH DAY

The need for increased public awareness on environmental issues is now more 
important than ever Kathleen Rogers, President of Earth Day Network, 
states, the American public has a vague notion of environmental issues, 
because they have not been shown how much it affects them, how much our 
atmosphere and oceans affect all of us. As the petition states, nearly 75 
percent [of Americans] mistakenly believe that forestsrather than oceans
are the major source of oxygen on the planet; and 40 percent are unaware of 
the essential role oceans play in regulating climate and atmosphere.

The first Earth Day was in 1970. It promotes environmental citizenship and 
year round progressive action worldwide. Earth Day global network reaches 
more than 12,000 organizations in 174 countries. Earth Day is celebrated by 
more than half a billion people each year making it the largest secular 
holiday in the world. April 22, 2006 marks the 36th anniversary of Earth Day.
