HEART HEALTH—SKIP THE SUGAR!
Heart disease is the number-one killer of all Americans,
but awareness of the disease and its causes has allowed for
a decrease in the number of deaths associated with it in
recent years. Eating well and exercising are obvious ways
to prevent the onset of heart disease, but a recent study by
the Journal of the American College of Cardiology looks
at another culprit that has damaging effects on your heart:
sugar (fructose). According to the study, one to two servings
of sugary drinks per day raises a person’s risk of heart disease
by 35 percent. It is important to be cognizant of sugar intake,
as it can often sneak into your diet unnoticed. Men should
consume only about 37.5 grams of added sugar (think coffee
drinks, sodas, yeast breads, cereals, fruit drinks) per day,
while women should stay around 25 grams. Starting out the
day with a latte, frozen beverage, or soda could add anywhere
from 20 to 63 grams of sugar in just 12 ounces! Make sure to
stop and think before you consume added sugar for the sake
of your heart health, because sugar isn’t as sweet as it seems.
BEST FOOT FORWARD
After hours of physical abuse from constant pounding
and tapping, your feet deserve a break! Feet take a constant
beating every day, and we often blame foot pain on a long
day on our feet, or shoes with poor support. Foot pain may
be caused by other problems in your body that shouldn’t be
ignored.
Keep tabs on your feet by:
• examining your feet regularly
• wearing comfortable shoes that fit properly and offer
plenty of support
• keeping your toenails trimmed straight across
• allowing your feet to air-out after being in shoes.
Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing:
• joint stiffness
• tingling or numbness
• swelling
• discoloration or bruising
• inability or limiting of physical tasks due to foot pain. ■
