A re cent California study shows that people who follow seven simple health rules can expect an actual 11 extra years of life. Research on 7,000 people indicate this is true. The seven rules to follow include: 1. Start each day with breakfast. 2. Eat three meals a day. 3. Limit alcoholic beverages. 4. Limit your smoking. 5. Schedule enough sleep. 6. Get plenty of exercise. 7. Watch your weight. People who follow six or seven of these rules live much longeron the average. Those who follow only up to three don't average as long a lifetime. The more rules you follow, the better your chance of getting a “bigger slice of life." You'll feel better too. Pizza for breakfast? Why not? Your body needs a refueling in the morning. A good breakfast can ease the strain and pain of starting the morning. The old standards—eggs, bacon, cereal and milk—are still good ones. However, if they don't appeal to you, consider last night's leftovers. Or you can make yourself a sandwich—peanut butter and jelly is fine. Are you eatingthree “square" a day? Skip ping meals and stuffing yourself with junk food is not good. Three balanced meals a day provide the nourishment you need. No one really knows why the number three is the magic key, but it is. If you must snack, reach for an apple or other piece of fruit. These are much better for you than junk food. Diabetes: 12 Million Americans Affected Did you know that diabetes is one of the ten leading causes of death in the United States today? Often called the “sugar dis ease," diabetes affects over 12 million Americans, and until recently there was no cure in sight. But some doctors are hopeful of one, due to new findings. To understand more about diabetes, let’s examine how our bodies turn food into ener gy. Foods high in carbohydrates are the body's chief source of energy. Normally, the body changes them to another form of sugar, called glucose. The body either stores glu cose or uses it immediately. But, in diabe tics, glucose accumulates in the blood at abnormally high levels. The organ resonsible for this is the pan creas. The diabetic's pancreas does not pro duce enough of a hormone—insulin—which regulates the body’s use of sugar. Without insulin, the sugar cannot be used properly. Not all diabetics have noticeable symp toms. But if you are over 40, overweight, or have diabetic relatives, see yur doctor periodically. See your doctor right away if you are excessively thirsty or urinate often. Some of the more noticeable symptoms of diabetes are blurred vision, quick fatigue and slow-healing cuts. Other symptoms in clude tingling, numbness or cramps in your limbs and fingers, and itchy skin or infec tions thereof. Diabetics can live relatively normal lives with the help of exercise, diet and drugs. New inventions such as the insulin “pump" and a drug called cyclosporin, enable the diabetic to control this age-old disease. Your respective plant nurse will be pleased to answer any questions you may have about diabetes.
