'Arm Jogging' could be great exercise
Special Health Feature For Our Readers Jog with your arms. No, that doesn’t mean running down the street on your hands. Exercise your upper body instead of the legs. That’s what Dr. Joseph Wassersug discusses in his book “Jarm — How to Jog With Your Arms to Live Longer. ” Dr. Wassersug was struck by the impressive age of many famous conductors: Boston Pops Conductor Arthur Fiedler lived to be 86. Eugene Ormandy of the Philadelphia Orchestra was 90, and his predecessor, Leopold Stokowski, lived to be 96. Arm exercises seem to work for pianists, too. Arthur Rubinstein is still going strong at 95 and jazz and blues pianist Eubie Blake passed the century mark before he died. Even window washers seem to be going well on the longevity charts.

prove their cardiovascular fitness and general health. Certainly the swing to physical fitness is paying off. One recent study found that exercise over a four-month period led to substantial reductions in fatty substances in the blood, even in previously inactive participants. Such substances narrow the arteries and restrict blood flow to the heart. Eventually, this may lead to the crushing chest pain known as angina pectoris which affects some 4.5 million Americans. Effective treatment for angina is available. For instance, calcium channel blockers like Cardizem, generically known as diltiazem, relax smooth muscle in the arteries and improve blood flow. Patients on such medications often find that they can do more exercise without getting chest pain. Many of them jog But jogging may not be for everyone. Dr. Wassersug feds that upper body exercise may be even more beneficial and need not be complicated. He exercises by rotating his arms 20 times and clapping his hands over his head 20 times. Such arm exercises can be done anywhere, empty-handed or holding weights, or by conducting an imaginary orchestra. Dr. Wassersug says arm exercise is less likely than running to cause injuries, especially in older persons. He is surprised at the medical profession’s lack of in-

Brett says Royals' have pitching
WASHINGTON, D C. - George Brett, standout hitter for the Kansas City Royals, says this year’s team has the best pitching staff ip, the franchise’s history. It’s by far better than the 1980 staff (the Royals were American Leaguechamps that year) and is improved over last year, in Brett’s opinion. And since last year the Royals won the World Series, with pitching as the big reason, this year’s staff must be good. The Royals have added Mark Huismann to their bullpen to back Dan Quisenberry. They’ve added Rudy Law from the Chicago White Sox for more speed and the team’s regular shortstop these days is rookie Angel Salazar, obtained from the Mets. So, pitching is strong and the team has added speed. The key is whether the Royals have enough punch at the plate. Since 1978, no team has won back to back pennants. The Royals, who began slowly as usual this season, think they have a chance to do that. Manager Dick Howser says the league contains more contenders than usual this year. He added that the Royals have a good chance to repeat, if they are lucky along the way.
Contracts put teams in big bind
WASHINGTON, DC. - The danger of paying baseball players a million dollars or more a year is demonstrated by the 1986 c£se of Kirk Gibson. Last season the Detroit Tigers offered Gibson, a free agent, $1.4 million to stay with the club. Gibson and his agent shopped for more. They couldn’t find anyone willing to pay more. So Gibson accepted the $1.4 million. Gibson, the Tigers knew, is prone to injury. He’s an all-out aggressive player and has frequently been injured. At the beginning of the season he jumped back to first base one day and badly sprained an ankle. Six weeks out. Maybe that was the end of the Tigers’ pennant hopes. Who knows? He was the top offensive player on the team. So did the Tigers avoid paying some of that $1.4 million? Nb, Gibson gets his money, as he has in the past, when sitting on the bench. No wonder more and more clubs are not eager to get in that bind. Meanwhile, in the tough American League East, the Yankees, Orioles, Red Sox and surprising Milwaukee and Cleveland make a race of it. Epilepsy and IQ BOSTON — Suffering epileptic seizures early in life does not lower youngsters’ intelligence, as some experts had suspected, a new study concluded.

More to taste than taste
We have all heard tike ok saying “your taste is all in your mouth,” implying. of courst. that the person to whom this in ult is directed has no taste wfen it comes to culture or style It is true that we think of the r louth. especially the tongue, whm we think of tasting food. Yet tl ere is much more to taste than the tongue. AD of the subtle res of taste other than sweet, sow, salty and bitter come from sm< Il and from the feeling of food in the mouth — texture, fizzynes . tartness, etc. Without the nose eighty percent of our ability to distinguish the subtlet es of flavor is lost. Let’s begin with the basi is. The tongue can distinguish sweet, sour, salty and bitter. It c ntains taste buds, some 7000 of t rem at birth, distributed at its tip, back and sides. Each taste bud is made up of 50 to 150 cells. The b jd contains a taste receptor, When a food molecule of the correct shape encounters the tast< receptor, a lock-and-key typt fit is made and a signal is pass d from nerve cells in the taste r ?ceptor to the brain. Depending on the kind of receptor stimula-ed, the brain receives one of tire four basic sensations of taste. These taste recepto rs are grouped on the tongue. S» eet and salty taste buds are at tie tip of the tongue; sour receptors are at the sides; and bitter one > are at the back. The flavor m rlecules also drift into the nos* where other more varied n ceptors reside. Taste is an important unction biologically since it catses the flow of saliva, increases the amounts of digestive enz; mes being released and triggers the release of insulin. Our i ppetites depend in part on a f tvorable response from taste. It also serves to control our e; ting too much. The eating of fats and proteins causes the body tc produce a hormone which decreases the tastiness of food. Some persons lose their appetites be ause all food begins to taste like garbage. Many of the cases have I een traced to a zinc deficiency. When adequate zinc is added ba :k to the diet, the problem disappears. The zinc deficiency is especially prevalent among older persons. When that is coupled wi h the lose in the number of taste ?uds that occur with age. dowr to only 1000-2000 by late adult] ;ood. it is no surprise that mary elderly persons lose their appetites and become

A closer look at taste receptors leaves us with* some puzzling situations. Sugar, saccharin and aspartame (Nutrasweet) all have the proper shape to fit the sweet receptor. Yet each of these sweeteners leads to a slightly different sensation. The reasons for this are not known. Furthermore, a given flavor molecule, aspartame for example, may stimulate taste receptors for bitter as well as sweet. Since many different receptors for bitter exist, some persons are sensitive to a particular bitter taste, others are not. For that reason a soft drink sweetened with aspartame may taste perfectly sweet to one person. but leave a bitter aftertaste for another. Obviously, this poses

a problem for the soft drink todustry as they would prefer not to lose customers who have this bitter sensitivity. Other studies are indicating that heredity plays an important part in taste. Just because you like a food and think it tastes great, you cannot assume that when your friend tastes that food that he will experience the same taste. Taste sensations seem to vary considerably from one person to another. Another factor that affects taste is the effect of previously eaten foods. Water is often reported to have a sweet taste when it is drunk immediately after eating asparagus and to
