Jean Carper's Farewell Tips
As some of you may know, Jean Carper, who writes a column in the USA Weekend Sunday supplement each week has given up writing her weekly column. The Health guru's parting tips in last Sunday's paper were:
Eat Fish Oil....It not only saves hearts, but reseach shows it also may help cut risk of Alzheimer's, inflammation, asthma, cancers, rheumatoid arthritis, lung and skin problems -- even weight gain.
Eat antioxidants.....Piles of evidence show that antioxidant-packed spinach, broccoli, pomegranate juice, dark chocolate, garlic, onions, tea, coffee, purple grapes, red wine and the spice turmeric cut disease risk. Eat at least five, but preferably nine, servings of fruits and vegetables every day!
Control blood sugar.....Eating "low-glycemic" foods that don't spike blood sugar is a must for avoiding diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, cancer and obesity. The worst: sugary cereal, processed white flour products, potatoes. The best: legumes, including peanuts, as well as oats (not instant), lemon juice, vinegar, cinnamon. For food ratings, visit glycemicindex.com
Cut calories.....Larger portions and more sedentary lifestyles have created an epidemic of obesity and a high risk of chronic diseases and premature death. Restrict calories and exercise to stay healthy, younger and alive longer.
