6 Hinton News Tues. July 5, 2016 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 SC BOE Summer Activities Menu 2016 Tuesday, July 5, Breakfast: Soft Pretzel, heese Cubes, Milk Juice.

You can save money, improve your health and lower your risk of chronic disease. 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.” Learn More For further facts about the national project to prevent chronic disease, visit www.Partnering4Health.org.

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.

An investment in a money mar- ket fund is not FDIC insured or guaranteed by any other govern- ment agency. 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.

It must be protected in case of fire, burglary or natural disaster. But a home is also a major; source of expenses: mortgage pay". 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.
