Health Tips from Consumers Reports

More heat... but a lot of wind.  I understand that Hermine is stuck off of Atlantic City and is churning the ocean into the Cape Cod area.  New Bedford will survive.

Consumers Reports sent out an advertisement On Health.  I always believe Consumers Reports, so, in case you haven't been fortunate yet to receive your ad.. here are some highlights.... i.e. things to think about.

Bread

Make sure that "whole grain" is part of the first ingredients.    If the label says: "whole wheat flour" that's ok... however if it says: "Enriched flour," forget it.

Oils

Olive oil is great, but so is safflower and sunflower oils.

Memory

To help protect your memory:

Play board games
Learn a language
Engage in regular exercise.

Blood Pressure

To lower blood pressure, eat some purple potatoes.

Heartburn

Ingesting ginger may increase the stomach's production of acid and cause heartburn.  Steer clear.

Longevity

Regular coffee consumption helps regulate blood sugar and prevents blood clots.

Overeating

Humming a song of gratitude like "Amazing Grace" can help calm the stress that leads to overeating.

So, there  you have it.  Go and sin no more!
