Powering Up Your Plate: Small Changes Ca
(NAPS)—Although seven out of
10 deaths in the United States are
linked to such chronic diseases as
heart disease, cancer, obesity,
tobacco use and related conditions,
the choices you make at the grocery
store and while dining out can help
keep you out of such statistics.
How To Eat Healthier
“So often, people tell us that
they are too busy and it’s easy to
grab what’s available,” said Elaine
Auld, chief executive officer of the
Society for Public Health Educa-
tion (SOPHE). Her advice: “Keep
healthy choices on hand when
things get busy.”
Here are a few more of Auld’s
suggestions that may help:
0 If you must eat on the run,
Auld suggests powering up your
breakfast with instant oatmeal
with low-fat milk for extra cal-
cium, and skipping the fast-food
drive-through.
' You have to plan and stock
healthy'options, she adds. Keep
on hand- low-fat yogurt, cheese
and milk in your refrigerator and
healthy options for snacking,
including fruits and vegetables.
Bananas, carrots, cereals and
peanuts can make tasty, nutri—
tious and inexpensive snacks.
' You can also save both
money and calories by packing a
healthy lunch at home and bring-
ing it with you to work or school.
When you do dine out, con-
sider ordering a small plate or
children’s menu item. Alterna-
tively, you can split an entrée with
a friend or bring home half of your
meal.
' If you order pizza, cut calo—
ries by getting a thin crust. Top
pizza with tomatoes, peppers,
mushrooms, zucchini, spinach,
broccoli or other vegetables.
Limit servings of meats, fish
and poultry to five ounces, or eat

What Communities Do To
Promote Healthy Eating
Just as people need to plan
healthy nutrition into their daily
routines, so do communities.
SOPHE is part of a national pro-
gram to prevent chronic diseases
like diabetes and heart disease,
through funding from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.
It works alongside four
national organizations to support
a network of communities around
the country. Partners include the
American Heart Association, the
American Planning Association,
the Directors of Health Promotion
and Education, and the National
WIC Association.
Some Examples
On Virginia’s Eastern Shore,
a region where obesity affects
over 70 percent of people, project
organizers are working with
area restaurants to add healthy
choices to menus. Ads for the
project invite diners to “taste the
good life” and highlight restau—
rants offering healthy menu
items. ‘-
n Lead To Big Rewards
Lack of access can make it dif-
ficult for people to purchase nutri-
tious food and beverages. Project
partners in southern Chester
County, Pa., worked with area
YMCAs to create a vending policy
that increases healthy offerings.
Revamped vending machines pro-
vide YMCA visitors and employees
with nutritious and delicious
options.
In New Mexico, Five Sandoval
Indian Pueblos, a tribal organiza—
tion, is working with an organic
food nonprofit agency to get flat-
rate boxes of fresh produce. The
boxes are sold in convenience
stores and distributed. With the
nearest grocery store nearly an
hour away, these fresh produce
boxes make it easier for families
to get healthier food to eat, with-
out making a long drive.
In Bensenville, 111., the B-Well
Bensenville coalition is helping
consumers keep their weight in
check by promoting physical activ-
ity. When adopted, a “Complete
Streets” policy will give residents
more options to walk or bike to
school or work safely. 1‘
“Everyone is involved in this
and has a stake in it,” said Vrcto-
ria Benham with B-Well
Bensenville. She added that the
coalition is planning a walkathon
to a park, which lets members of
the community see it’s completely
doable to walk to the park.
It’s about empowering people
and communities, say organizers.
“We want to help communities,
families and individuals overcome
the barriers to good health,”
explained Auld. “It’s about making
healthy living easier where'people
live, learn, work and play.”

(NAPS)—Settling into a new
place can be an exciting time.
You’re unpacking, meeting new
neighbors, getting the “lay of the
land” and making decisions about
how to furnish and decorate your
home. At the same time, you’re
assuming many new financial
responsibilities, such as mortgage
payments and maintenance costs.
That’s one reason it’s important to
protect yourself and your family
by making sure you have a sound
financial foundation.
Savings: More Important
Than Ever
While setting aside money for
emergencies is a good idea no mat-
ter what, it’s essential that, as a
homeowner, you keep a reserve
handy in case the unexpected hap-
pens. Homeowners can find them-
selves facing expensive repairs that
shouldn’t—or can’t—be delayed.
Adequate savings can keep you
from having to choose between post—
poning a needed repair and risking
further, damage to your home—
which may require spending beyond
your budget. Savings can also be ‘
used to pay for home improvement
projects, such as remodeling a
‘ kitchen or bathroom or building an
addition, that may enhance the
value of your investment and help
you make the most of your home.
An obvious place to put your
savings is in a traditional FDIC-
insured bank account. Another
alternative would be to place your
money in a money market fund.
These are conservative invest-
ments that offer competitive inter—
est rates and check—writing privi-
leges, so assets in money market
funds can be easily used to pay
your mortgage and expenses in
case of an emergency.

Pay Yourself First
It can be difficult to think
about saving money when you’re a
new homeowner; you may have
just spent a significant amount of
money on a down payment, and
you are already diverting a large
portion of your income toward the
mortgage, property taxes and
homeowner’s insurance. Even on a
tight budget, however, saving
money doesn’t have to be a painful
experience.
Simply get into the habit of
“paying yourself first.” Every time
you get paid, put aside a set
amount before using any of it to
pay bills or make purchases.
Many financial companies, such
as First Investors, can facilitate
this by making the process auto-
matic; a fixed amount can be auto-
matically deducted from your pay-
check or your bank account on a
regular basis and put into a
mutual fund account.
Protecting Your Home

insurance, and for good reason.

ments, property taxes, mainte-
nance and the like. If your house-
hold loses the earning power of a
loved one, your family might not
be able to afford those costs.
That’s where life insurance steps
in. Its benefits can be used to help
cover mortgage payments and
other home-related expenses so
that yourfamily can remain in
their home.
Don’t OVerlook
Life Insurance
Life insurance can also help:
'Replace lost income,»so your
family can maintain its current
lifestyle;
-Ensure that goals—such as a
child’s education—can still be
achieved;
Pay final expenses, such as med.
