HEALTH & BEAUTY Healthy eating for a healthy heart


MORE women of all ages are getting the message that heart disease is their #1 killer. However, one-third of women still underestimate their own risk for heart dis- ease and most fail to make the connection between risk factors and their chance of developing heart disease. To help, The Heart Truth, a national awareness campaign for women, recom- mends four healthful lifestyle changes- eating right, being physically active, not smoking, and keeping a healthy weight-to help women lower their risk of heart dis-


ease by as much as 82 percent. One great way to keep a healthy weight is to eat a diet low in sodium, saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol. In cooking and at the table, flavoring foods with herbs, spices, wine, lemon, vinegar or salt-free seasoning blends creates great-tasting meals, often with heart-healthy benefits.


In just 30 minutes, you can cook a heart- healthy meal.

The key is knowing how to inspect for signs of trouble and what steps to take if there is a threat to your home. Many find that the onset of warmer weather can be an excellent time to begin their annual inspection—both indoors and out. “Prevention is the best solution for warding off unwanted pests,” said Larry Coltharp, director of insect control research and development with Black Flag. “Spray early in the spring, reinforce protection in the summer during peak insect season, and seal homes in the fall to keep bugs from seeking shelter.” Here are some tips on what to look for and how to keep pests under control:


• Check walls for cracks and crevices where spiders and ants can enter. • In the kitchen, check for open containers or water leaks under the sink and See INSECTS, page 23
