5 ¢ENTS WORTH by Grant Nichols It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist

“Feckless” -by Bob Perry

The adjective ‘feckless’ is defi ned as ineffective; incompetent; weak; ir-responsible. The foreign policy of the Obama Administration has created the profi le that fi ts. Obama has shown more of his idea of what this country is in his mind in the commencement speech at West Point in which he was positioning his policy more for what he is against than what he is for. The result of his policies is that there has been a loss of U.S. credibility thus weakening any possibility of success-ful foreign policy. During the past 5+ years the positions he has asserted has changed and he is proving he is feck-less by stating strong actions followed by weak, little or no actions. Picking battles based on politics and not situations is a major mistake in re-sponsibility. Obama thinks the ‘cold war’ is over but we see clearly Russian President Vladimir Putin thinks and is proving differently in the Ukraine. The rhetoric Obama put forth indicated con-sequences for Putin’s action and feck-less has been the response.

Psychologically, the President has is-sues that obviously have not been re-solved and we the people are affected as he is working them out (hopefully) on the world stage. He claims to have been mistreated while growing up, and while this may well be his reason for being feckless, who is out there who has not had the feeling of being mis-treated in growing up? It’s past time for Obama to grow up and grow a set. It seems like Obama is still wrestling with his possible reli-gious identity as well because he holds some Islamic tenants while claiming to be a Christian. There is a moral issue with Obama pursuing the Presidency with a severe lack of leadership experi-ence and ability leaving us with a feck-less offi ce holder. Any party represen-tation for offi ce must have a litmus test before endorsing anyone for offi ce. In the 2008 Presidential Primary Campaign there were 8 Democratic candidates seeking the offi ce of the Presidency and apparently the most feckless one became our President.

We attended the 2nd Annual Fun Stock (First Night Bradford fundraiser), last Sunday, June 1, where we took our pho-tos for the pages of this issue. The event was held at the Mystic Waters Resort in Limestone, NY and drew a greater num-ber of participants than the previous year. A contingent was present from the New Cow Palace to serve their famous chicken barbecue, another contingent from the Bradford Family YMCA erected and su-pervised the bouncy house, the Wink of an Eye Entertainment Tent was in place on schedule with face painting and other children’s activities, and music was pro-vided throughout the event with a total of six musical acts taking their place on stage throughout the day. While one of each of our photos is to be found on the pages of this Bradford Journal, readers can also fi nd videos of some of the bands in our photo gallery……..It’s an interest-ing thing that has happened over the last four or so generations concerning gambling. Card games and other games of chance, where money was involved were, at one time, considered illegal (or at a minimum, socially distasteful) across most of the United States except as provided by certain limited casinos, at horse racing tracks, church fund raisers, and by other means, for example gam-bling on the stock market or the commodi-ties market. But gambling was considered gambling, whether on riverboats, in the casinos, on the tracks, or on the fi nancial markets, and while it brought great last-ing, or momentary wealth to some, it was seen as a process that would bring most who participated to ruins. The right way to build wealth was to invest in one’s own or someone else’s manufacturing or distribu-tion business or for those of lesser means, bank accounts and similar safe invest-ments. While it’s most likely that 5 or 6 percent of the people in the U.S. through-out the 1900’s contributed to organiza-tions that dabbled in buying and selling fi nancial instruments (Insurance, Bank Mortgages, Stocks, Bonds, Commodities) where they could expand their retirement funds, and monetary legacies most peo-ple would retire with little more than their bank accounts, social security checks, or less, throughout the 20th century. But somewhere along the way investment into pension accounts, gambling on the stock and commodities market, and other risky enterprises became the accepted way of life here in the U.S. And the so-called “safe” investments for working people have all but disappeared. Maybe some of our trusted educational and industrial peo-ple, with brief cases full of money or cre-dentials should be concerned. We sense a growing instability to it all.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESDon’t Fall Prey to Medical Identity Theft

-by Jason Alderman By now, most people know about the perils of identity theft, where someone steals your personal or fi nancial account information and makes fraudulent charges or opens bogus accounts in your name. Lately, a not-so-new twist has been get-ting a lot of attention – medical identity theft. That’s where someone gains access to your health insurance or Medicare ac-count information and uses it to submit phony insurance claims, obtain prescrip-tion drugs or medical devices, or get med-ical treatment in your name. Besides its high cost, medical ID theft also can have deadly consequences: Sup-pose someone poses as you and gets an ap-pendectomy; if you later entered the hos-pital with abdominal pain, your medical fi le would show that your appendix was already removed and you could be tragi-cally misdiagnosed. Here are a few tips for avoiding medi-cal ID fraud and steps to take if it happens:Your medical fi les are often full of infor-mation ID thieves crave: account num-bers for Social Security, health insurance, Medicare or Medicaid, contact informa-tion, email address, etc. All it takes is one stolen employee laptop or an intercepted piece of mail or email to leave you vulner-able. Sophisticated thieves will also hack computer networks of insurance com-panies, pharmacies, medical equipment suppliers and others who have access to your medical records. And unfortunately, the black market for stolen information is so tempting that employees have been known to steal data. Common signs of medical identity theft include: • Provider bills or insurance Expla-nation of Benefi ts (EOB) forms that refer-ence medical services you didn’t receive. (Verify all dates, providers and treatments and look for duplicate billing.) • Calls from debt collectors about un-familiar bills.• Medical collection notices on your credit report. Just as you shouldn’t hesitate to ask your doctor or nurse whether they washed their hands, so you should feel free to ask what security precautions their business offi ce takes to protect your information. Here are a few preventive measures to take: • Never reveal personal or account information during unsolicited calls or emails. • Be suspicious if someone offers you free medical equipment or services and then requests your Medicare number. • Never let people borrow your Medi-care or insurance card to obtain services for themselves. Not only is this illegal, but it could be disastrous if your medical his-tories become intermingled (think about differing allergies, blood types, etc.)

• Regularly check your credit reports for unpaid bills for unfamiliar medical services or equipment. This could indicate someone has opened a new insurance pol-icy using your identity and is running up charges. If you suspect or know your informa-tion has been compromised, ask for copies of your medical records from each doc-tor, hospital, pharmacy, lab or health plan where a thief may have used your infor-mation. Also request a copy of their “Ac-counting of Disclosures” form, which lists everyone who got copies of your medical records. Next, write them all by certifi ed mail

explaining which information is inaccu-rate, along with copies of documents sup-porting your position. Ask them to correct or delete all errors and to inform everyone they may have sent records to (labs, other doctors, hospitals, etc.) Keep copies of all correspondence and logs of all phone calls or other related activities.You can also fi le a police report and con-tact the fraud units at the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUn-ion. You may want to place a fraud alert or freeze on your accounts. Visit the Federal Trade Commission’s Identity Theft site for more information:

AREA SOCIAL NEWSBradford TOPS #16

Article submitted Leader Vickie Johnson opened the Thursday May 29th meeting at the First Presbyterian Church with the TOPS pledge. The group sang TOPS LOVE to the tune of “Zippity-Doo-Dah”. There were 35 weigh-ins with a loss of 27 and a quarter pounds. Loser in waiting is Fran Nichols and offi cer of the week is Donna Douthit. Birthday wishes this week to Vickie Johnson and Silvana Reed. Forbidden food for the week are French fries. Bev Hannon gave the thought for the week: “Where fl owers bloom so does hope. “ Linda Hedlund gave a helpful hint: “Before storing clothes that have been dry cleaned, remove them from the plastic bag, as the bag may cause clothes to yellow.” Sue DallaValle shared a Skinny Chunky Monkey Cookie recipe. We welcomed a new member Christine McCracken. Next week is the business meeting. Dr. Herman will be our guest speak-er on July 31st so have all your ques-tions ready. The program was started by Carole Van Sickle who read an article from the Tops web site that was extremely funny about back sliders, it was followed by Vickie Johnson on the different kinds of fad diets and the pros and cons of those diets. The fi nal results are that none work for the long haul, and that learning to eat properly and exercise is still the best way to lose weight, Sue DallaValle fi nished the pro-gram with articles from the TOPS Club book “The Choice is Mine”. Knowing What You Want Will Motivate You. Get to know yourself make a list of things you want to get rid of and a list of things you want and don’t have yet. Sue read the top 10 reasons for starting a weight-loss program. Finally asser-tiveness and the mindless margin, it is that small range where we make slight changes to our routine that we hardly notice. Nevertheless, these changes can have a gradual-but eventually big- impact on our weight. These changes can make the difference between be-ing 10 pounds heavier next year or 10 pounds lighter. The friendship circle and the Tops prayer ended the meeting.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEMigraine Facts And

Treatment Tips

(NAPSI)—While many people turn to prescription drugs to try to control migraines once they start, there aren’t any that are terribly effective and none that will stop the migraines before they happen. There is, however, another op-tion and it doesn’t involve taking medi-cation. The Problem Almost 5 million people in the U.S. experience at least one migraine attack a month. More than 11 million people blame migraines for causing moder-ate to severe disability and 91 percent of them can’t function normally dur-ing migraine attack, according to the American Migraine Study, which also reveals that the average migraine suf-ferer misses two days of work per year. It’s an expense both in terms of ca-reer—lost work—and medical costs. Migraine sufferers use 2.5 times the amount of prescription drugs and have six times as many diagnostic tests and services as nonsufferers. The aver-age monthly health cost of a migraine sufferer is 60 percent higher than that of people who don’t suffer from mi-graines, according to the National In-stitutes of Health. According to The Migraine Trust, migraine often occurs for the fi rst time in teens and young adults but is most common in the 30-something age group. Who Can Help Specially trained neuromuscular dentists can perform a dental procedure that can help. They use special equip-ment to fi nd the optimal resting posi-tion of the jaw and create an orthotic—which looks like an athlete’s mouth guard. When inserted into the mouth, it can change your bite. Many treated this way fi nd their chronic migraines are prevented. Why It Works That’s because chronic moderate to severe headaches, including migraine, are a common indicator of malocclu-sion, or a bad bite, commonly called

AICR HealthTalk-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN

American Institute for Cancer Research Q. Is homemade hummus dip much healthier than the pre-made versions in the grocery store? A: Many packaged hummus brands are pretty healthy - the basic ingredients are chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil, garlic and lemon juice. But making it at home allows you to control the calories, sodium and nutrients. It means you can also play with the taste. Hummus can be a great choice as a dip for vegetables, a fi lling in sandwiches and an ingredient in a variety of Middle Eastern-type mixed dishes. A two-table-spoon serving of hummus contains 45 to 70 calories, depending on the proportion of ingredients. If you prefer to keep calories lower, you can use lower-calorie ingredients like red pepper or other vegetables to dilute the dip; more olive oil and tahini will mean higher calories. Two tablespoons also usually contain two to four grams of fat from healthy sources such as olive oil and tahini, one to fi ve grams of protein (depending on the amount of beans) and 0.5 to 4 grams of dietary fi ber. Commercial varieties vary in the amount of sodium, ranging from 100 milligrams to well over twice that amount. If you want to make low-sodium hummus, use beans canned with no added salt or cooked from dried beans and don’t add much or any salt. For more protein, choose a recipe that includes pro-portionately more beans compared to oil and tahini. If you go the commercial route, remember that small differences in calories and sodium between different brands become more signifi cant as your portion size increases, so comparing nutrition information on labels is worthwhile.

After Your Move—Getting Settled

(NAPSI)—Growing comfortable in a new neighborhood can be made simpler, if you heed these moving tips on what to do—and what not to do—when getting settled. Dos • Host a housewarming party: Invite everyone in the neighborhood, either in person or by putting invitations in mail-boxes. Remember: It’s not advised to mention gifts or create a gift registry. • Reach out to your neighbors: In the chaos of moving, you can just say “hi” and wave, but eventually you should introduce yourself and learn neighbors’ names. If you’re shy, ask about favorite restaurants or upcoming local events. • Be helpful: Without overstepping any privacy boundaries, offer to do small fa-vors for a neighbor you want to befriend. Saying you’re willing to take care of pets or collect their mail when they go out of town suggests you’re a caring and respon-sible person. • Schedule your cable high-speed Inter-net, digital cable TV and phone connec-tions in advance, with a couple of clicks at www.cablemover.com. After a busy day of unpacking, you’ll be able to unwind with dinner from the nearest take-out res-taurant, watch TV, order new shower cur-tains or play online games. • Show respect: Keep noise to a reason-able level, particularly late at night, espe-cially if there are young children or senior citizens nearby who may be disturbed. Don’ts • Stay away from the rumor mill—Don’t encourage or engage in gossip with your new neighbors. If you’ve developed a critical opinion of the community, keep it to yourself. Also, steer clear of topics that are typically considered socially un-acceptable, such as fi nances, religion and politics. • Try problem-solving instead of com-plaining—Use face-to-face communica-tion and an honest, levelheaded conversa-tion to resolve problems, instead of subtle negative tactics such as note writing. The chances of fi nding mutually agreeable so-lutions will be much higher and it can im-prove relationships. Moving can mean big changes in eve-rything from your work to your children’s education, or your weekend activities. Taking time to build good relationships with neighbors can ease your transition and lead to lasting friendships.

Pointers On Booking The Perfect Vacation Rental (NAPSI)—Good news for travelers: As more and more families are discov-ering, vacation rentals can offer twice the space at half the price of a hotel room and are easier to book now than ever. That may be one reason, accord-ing to the global travel market fi rm PhoCusWright, online bookings of va-cation rentals increased from 12 per-cent in 2007 to 24 percent in 2012. Built-In Savings There are a number of ways to save when staying in a vacation rental. For example, extra bedrooms mean ad-ditional family members or friends are able to join in the fun and split the costs. Preparing your own food, instead of going to restaurants for every meal, and having access to a washer and dryer both offer even more ways to minimize expenses. With baggage fees possibly tacking on an additional $100 to $200 per family each way, travelers have the option to pack less, travel lighter and save more. Other potential cost-saving benefi ts found with vacation rentals include Wi-Fi, as well as entertainment for the kids, such as swimming pools and game rooms. Plus, unlike in a hotel where the only adult time is if parents secure a babysitter, those in vacation rentals can sip wine and share stories on the patio, or gather together to watch movies in the living room, after the kids are in bed. “My kids love it when we travel with their grandparents. We do so at least once a year and have found that it’s easiest for everyone to stay together in a vacation rental,” said Erin Gifford, mother of four and founder of family travel website Kidventurous.com. “It’s nice to be able to spread out and each have our own space after fun-fi lled days of taking in attractions. We also like being able to cook, play games and spend time with each other under the same roof.” Top Five Planning Tips Use these hints to help secure the perfect vacation rental for your fam-ily’s next getaway: 1. Book Early Moms and dads know all too well that planning is key when doing any-thing with kids—especially traveling. Booking a rental as early as you can is important because each property is unique. You want to have as many op-tions as possible to accommodate your group, such as checking to see if a crib is available or if the property is pet friendly. 2. Read Reviews Learn from other guests’ opinions. They’ve stayed at the properties and offer unbiased, fi rsthand accounts of

what to expect. Reviews clue you in on details that may be overlooked in the listing, such as the need to bring your own beach towels. 3. Go the Extra Mile Look for vacation rentals that aren’t located near popular attractions, such as the waterfront or theme parks. The farther you are from tourist areas, the better the deal. 4. Stay Off the Beaten Path Search for properties in lesser-known destinations for a more peaceful geta-way that costs less because demand isn’t as high. 5. Use Reputable Sites Search and book through profession-al online vacation rental sites, such as HomeAway.com, which offers access to the most vacation rental options in the industry. Alternatively, try VRBO.com, which has been around for nearly 20 years. More Advice The cardinal rule for booking a va-cation rental is to always pick up the

phone and call the homeowner or prop-erty manager. Not only will they know the specifi cs about the property, but they give an insider’s perspective on the destination itself. Gifford recently booked a vaca-tion rental via HomeAway and added, “Speaking with a property owner or manager provides insights into a rental and the surrounding community that I only get over the phone. It gives me those extra details I need to determine ‘yes’ or ‘no’ when considering a partic-ular vacation rental.” Once a fi nal decision is made on a property, travelers should request a rental agreement that outlines all rules and cancellation policies so everyone is on the same page. If possible, pay online by credit card or through secure services like PayPal, and avoid mailing cash or using a wire transfer service.

Explore Backup Power Options For Hurricane

And Summer Storm Season

(NAPSI)--With the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season upon us, it’s impor-tant for homeowners to explore their backup power options now. “The U.S. was spared from a hurri-cane last year, but that does not mean we will be as fortunate during the 2014 season,” said Rick Knabb, Ph.D., di-rector of NOAA’s National Hurricane Center. “Prepare for a hurricane now before one threatens your area, and fi nd out if you are in a hurricane evacuation zone.” Homeowners have many options when it comes to backup power: • A portable generator is the solution most people turn to when they need power in an emergency. Select one that delivers no fewer than 5,000 watts or you won’t be able to back up much. Make sure you have enough extension cords rated for outdoor use. If you al-ready have a portable generator, make sure it runs properly before the power goes out. Also, make sure you have enough gasoline. • A portable generator with a manual transfer switch lets you safely deliver the generator’s power directly to your home’s electrical system. This elimi-nates the need for extension cords and lets you power hardwired appliances like a well pump. Your electrician can install this for you. • An automatic home standby gen-erator is safer and more convenient—it starts automatically, can back up your entire home, and runs on natural gas or LP fuel, so you never need to refuel it in an emergency. It should be installed by a generator dealer or licensed elec-trician. To learn which backup power solu-tion is right for you, visit the Generac website at www.generac.com

Seniors Reveal Life-Changing Effects Of Fitness (NAPSI)—If you are an older adult, exercise is one of the best things you can do for your physical and mental health. According to the Centers for Disease Control, older adults should exercise for 150 minutes a week, with a good mix of cardio and strength training. Unfortunately, many people don’t get enough exercise to keep them healthy and strong as they age. Not only does exercise help individuals stay healthy and reduce the risk of disability and disease, it has been proven to reduce the cost of care for individuals and their families. The benefi ts of exercise have been realized by SilverSneakers Fitness members for more than 20 years. Sil-verSneakers Fitness is the nation’s lead-ing fi tness program designed for older adults and has helped thousands of peo-ple reach their health goals. For Pris-cilla Farrell, it was to walk on the beach with her granddaughter and to rely less on an oxygen tank. For George Jacobs, it was to step foot in a gym for the fi rst time to improve his physical and social well-being. For Cecil Daniels, it was to overcome his diabetes and high blood pressure. “SilverSneakers Fitness members

like Priscilla, George and Cecil are not only changing their lives through fi t-ness, they are leading a senior fi tness revolution resulting in health improve-ments, higher quality of life and fulfi ll-ment at every age,” said Joy Powell, president of the Senior Solutions Divi-sion for Healthways. “Today’s active older adults are extremely dedicated to physical health through fi tness, and they are more passionate and dedicated than any previous generation.” Bringing this to life, the 2013 Silver-Sneakers Fitness Annual Member Sur-vey of more than 35,000 respondents in 50 states revealed that SilverSneakers

participants are seeking personalized fi tness options in record numbers, with nearly 46 percent joining a fi tness cent-er for the fi rst time as a result of their SilverSneakers membership. While many are stepping foot in the gym for the fi rst time, they are not do-ing it alone. Nearly 60 percent of Sil-verSneakers members participate in classes with a friend and 41 percent at-tend class to socialize, which can have a great impact on a person’s mental health and well-being. The annual member survey also showed that today’s older adults are more active than ever before, with four out of fi ve participants doing aerobic activity three or more times per week. Physical fi tness is vital to overall health, as 60 percent of SilverSneakers partici-pants rate their health as “excellent” or “very good,” in comparison to only 47 percent of peer respondents to Medi-care’s annual Health Outcomes Survey. SilverSneakers Fitness was founded in 1992 and today serves more than 11 million eligible members in more than 11,000 participating fi tness and well-ness facilities nationwide. For more information, to see if you are eligible for SilverSneakers and to fi nd a class in your area, call 877-210-1307 or visit www.SilverSneakers.com



Dental Problems In Children Linked To Bullying (NAPSI)—Here’s surprising news that can help parents take a bite out of the issue of bullying: Having “ugly” teeth may signifi cantly contribute to the problem, according to a recent study published in the American Journal of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthope-dics. According to the study, teeth were the No. 1-targeted physical feature to increase a child’s chance of being bul-lied, followed by the child’s strength and weight. Adds Robert E. Varner, DMD, presi-dent of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), orthodontists have long been aware of the relation-ship between how teeth look and poor self-esteem—no matter the age of the patient. “A person’s smile is very im-portant in communication and inter-personal relations,” says Dr. Varner. “Our teeth are visible, so when they are poorly aligned, this can be an easy target for teasing or bullying. Parents often confi de that their child is being ‘teased’ about the appearance of his or her teeth.” Dr. Varner offers fi ve suggestions that may help. 1. Let your child know that most kids even into their early teens may still have baby teeth and as he/she gets older and more permanent teeth appear, his/her looks and smile will change. And the looks and smiles of the kids making fun of him/her will change, too. 2. Make an appointment with an orthodontist who is a member of the AAO, which recommends that every child see an orthodontist no later than age 7 in order to check for abnormali-

ties or issues that could benefi t from early orthodontic treatment. Most chil-dren won’t need it, but it’s a good idea to make sure your child’s jaw and bite are developing normally. 3. At the appointment, ask the ortho-dontist to explain to your child that or-thodontic treatment creates a healthy, beautiful smile. This will reassure the child that he/she won’t have that gap or overbite forever. 4. Some orthodontists offer computer imaging that shows how your child may look after orthodontic treatment. See-ing this transformation can be exciting

and reassuring, soothing your child’s fears about how he/she will look. 5. Find photos of celebrities when they were young. Many who had crook-ed teeth or gap-toothed smiles grew up to be successful athletes, actors, artists, writers, world leaders and more. It can help send the message that you’re not worried about how his/her teeth look and he/she needn’t be, either.

Fast, Easy Ways To Have A Kitchen And Bath You Love (NAPSI)—Anyone who thinks there’s an app these days for everything but the kitchen sink is wrong. Now, your smart-phone, tablet or computer can help you have a new kitchen sink, bathroom van-ity, countertop and a whole lot more. With free online tools, it’s easy to design your dream kitchen or bath. You can see all options and decide what you like before you shop or meet with a designer. Apps can also help you fi nd deal-ers and contractors online. Some apps let you take photos so you can compare your room with others, con-trast products and see how new counters, cabinets and sinks will look with each oth-er, before they’re installed. You can even send your ideas to a designer or share them with family. A few apps to consider: • With the Blanco mobile color app, you can coordinate the company’s high-qual-ity kitchen sinks with various countertop surfaces, evaluate the look and add differ-ent selections by capturing images using

your device’s camera. Favorite combina-tions can be saved and e-mailed to others. You can even fi nd the nearest dealer with the app’s store locator function. • From color inspiration to installation galleries and practical advice, Silestone’s interactive app helps you design your ideal kitchen or bath space including the company’s quality quartz countertops. You calculate area square footage; browse through an extensive color palette and share it with friends, family or contrac-tors; and then use the app to fi nd a nearby dealer. • Hardware Resources has an online tool for selecting a bath vanity. It works through any device with Internet so you can easily set your room dimensions, pick colors and materials for the walls and fl oors, and then swipe vanities of different sizes, colors and styles through the room to see what looks best. Then, fi nd a dealer, see prices and dimensions, and share your results socially or via e-mail. In addition, here are three ideas to

bear in mind when you design: 1. While a monochrome look can be sophisticated and serene, a few pops of color in curtains, cushions, soaps, door and drawer pulls can set it off and point it up. 2. Use the space to show off your good taste. If you collect saltshakers, say, dis-play them in the kitchen. Use the guest bathroom as the place to put your prettiest towels. 3. It’s a bright idea to look to the light-ing. There should be task lighting, accent lighting to highlight a special feature, and general overhead light. You may want a dimmer in the bath for dark mornings and a bright spotlight in the kitchen over the sink or stove. Let the apps aid you to create the kitch-en and bath of your dreams, then start en-joying your new rooms. Learn more at www.blancoamerica.com, www.silestoneusa.com and www.vanityvisualizer.com

Tips To Help You Play To Win

(NAPSI)—If you’re a man who is car-rying a few extra pounds, there’s good news. Any time can be the right time to start and strengthen healthier habits and lose the weight. Some fi nd that the warmer weather of summer and early fall can be a great time to get in shape. That’s because the longer days can make it easier to fi nd workout partners or teams to join. It can also be a great time to enjoy seasonal fruits and vegetables such as blueberries, peaches and sweet corn. With extra pounds linked to health prob-lems such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers, getting to a healthy weight can be a step in the right direction. To help you get in the game, here are some tips from the Weight-control Information Network (WIN), a national information service of the National Institute of Dia-betes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health:

Get Fitter, Stronger, Faster • Start with a level of activity that feels doable. For example, 10 minutes each day. Increase frequency, time and intensity as you become able to do more. • Mix it up. To get and stay on track, try different kinds of activities. Make sure your routine includes aerobic exercise (walking, jogging, biking), strength train-ing (free weights, crunches, push-ups), and fl exibility exercises like stretching or yoga.Power Up With Nutrient-Dense Foods

And Drinks • Eat and drink smart. Choose foods and drinks that pack plenty of vitamins, min-erals and fi ber into fewer calories. Fruit, vegetables, lean meats and seafood, and water or fat-free milk are all good options. • Outsmart your inner picky eater. Sneak in fruits and vegetables. Add ber-ries to your cereal or crunchy vegetables to your sandwich.

Stick With It For The Long Run • Form your own team. Find a workout partner or group to help you stay on track. • Reward yourself when you reach your goals. Plan a basketball or soccer game, bike ride or healthy cookout with friends or family. Learn more from WIN’s “Getting on Track: Physical Activity and Healthy Eating for Men.” The brochure features more tips and ideas for men, tools for fi g-uring out if your weight is healthy, ways to assess portion sizes based on everyday items, and ideas for overcoming barriers to better health.
