Think calcium is the best way to protect your bones from the ravages of time? Exercise may be even better! Researchers from Penn State found that women who engaged in weight-bearing exercise on a regular basis had better bone mass, even if they had a lower calcium intake! That’s because bone, just like muscle, builds strength based on how much strain it bears.Experts recommend that women get started as early in life as possible, since most bone mass is built before age 30. But it’s never too late! Those over 30 can protect the bone mass they have with proper diet and exercise. In short, make sure your calcium intake is adequate — 1,000 to 1,500 mg a day depending on your age — and include activities such as walking, jogging, dancing, hiking, stair climbing, aerobic dance, and resistance training with weights or exercise bands in your schedule three to five times a week. Here’s to you and your beautiful bones!
Here’s an easy way to help your child learn to manage his or her weight for life — make sure he or she starts the day with a healthy breakfast. That’s right! A study from the Maryland Medical Research Institute found that teens who started their day with a bowl of high-fiber cereal three times or more each week had fewer problems managing their weight up to 10 years later!
Sadly, the same study also found that too many children are getting the unhealthy message that skipping breakfast is a way to cut calories. By the age of 19, some 45 percent of participants in the study said they rarely ate breakfast. And as numerous studies have shown, skipping meals ends up leading to overeating and weight gain — not weight control. So make sure your child isn’t getting the wrong message about this important meal! While you’re at it, why not sit down with him or her and start your day off right, too? After all, it helps to practice what you preach!

The frozen sausage roll products were produced on various dates between Oct. 25 and Nov. 6, and were distributed to retail establishments in Texas, and institutions, catalogue sales and distribution centers in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas.

Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. Healthy people rarely contract listeriosis. However, listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Listeriosis can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as serious and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy.

When deciding on what size turkey to purchase, you should allow approximately one pound per person. If you purchased a frozen turkey it is important to safely thaw it in the refrigerator, in cold water or in a microwave oven. In the refrigerator allow approximately 24 hours for every four to five pounds. To thaw in cold water, allow approximately 30 minutes per pound. If you choose to thaw your turkey in a microwave oven, check your owner’s manual to calculate minutes per pound and appropriate power settings, and cook immediately after thawing.
No matter what size turkey you purchase or what dish you prepare, it is important for consumers to heed the recommendations of the USDA’s nationwide campaign, Be Food Safe. When handling and cooking a turkey, put “Clean, Separate, Cook and Chill” into practice in order to help prevent foodborne illness.

Remember how your mom always urged you to eat your broccoli? She was on to something, according to cancer experts: Researchers have found a compound called sulforaphane in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage, brussels sprouts, and kale. Not only does sulforaphane help prevent cancer cells from forming, it can also stop existing cancerous cells right in their tracks! Someday the development may lead to new and more effective cancer-fighting treatments. For now, go ahead and load up on these healthy greens! In addition to its anticancer properties, a one-cup serving of raw broccoli provides 98 percent of your daily vitamin C, 73 percent of your daily vitamin A, and 2.3 grams of fiber, and it has just 30 calories! How’s that for a powerful nutritional punch? Yay, broccoli!
