He stated those present can begin their involvement by starting with their own kids, or kids down the street. “You can begin to give kids the real life experience they need more.

Heart-smart tacts on oats

I By ARMINA SCHMUCKER, RD Clinical Dietitian Kosciusko Community Hospital When it comes to eating oats, most of us limit ourselves to an occasional bowl of hot oatmeal on a cold winter’s morning. This is unfortunate because recent studies have shown that the regular consumption of oats can play an important role in controlling high cholesterol levels which affect an estimated 40 million Americans. Study Results A recent study conducted by the Northwestern University Medical School’s Department of Community Health and Preventive Medicine has focused new attention on how oats act as an ally in the fight against high cholesterol levels —a major risk factor irt heart disease. During a 12-week study, volunteers with normal cholesterol levels were divided into three groups. Two of the groups were given

In this day and age of aluminum pop-top cans, the old reliable bottle opener is becoming a relic. Time was when they were in every kitchen, den, car, and bottle vending machine. They were used by many places of business for an advertising gimmick. After all, once a piece was in a person’s hand, the ads were so much more noticeable. The early ones were cast iron and in shapes of animals, people, and birds. Some came with corkscrews, just to be more useful.

instructions to eat at least two ounces per day of oat bran or oatmeal (One ounce was to be taken in the form of hot cereal; one ounce of dry oatmeal is onethird cup). The third group, or control group, was not told to eat the prescribed amounts of oat products. All three groups, it should be noted, were told to follow the low-fat dietary recommendations of the American Heart Association. After the study was concluded, the two groups partaking of the recommended daily amounts of oats and oat products were found to have significantly reduced their serum cholesterol levels by 2.7 and 3.3 percent, respectively. The implications of this study are encouraging for the millions of Americans concerned with high cholesterol levels since it .now has been showh that consuming a relatively small amount of oats per day can produce some dramatic dividends. When added to other dietary strategies including cutting down

Bottle openers

The three most sought after openers are the rhinoceros, elephant and Norwegian. The rhinoceros is a chrome plated one of Japanese design.

on the amount of fat consumed daily — oats can and should be viewed as a most valuable cholesterol fighting: weapon. Beyond Breakfast Introducing oats into our diet on a regular basis should not be difficult as the grain is most versatile and adaptable. Oat flour, for example, can ba used to make flavorful breacs, muffins, cookies and other baked goods. However, since the oat flour contains no gluten — the substance which makes bread rise — it must be mixed with flours containing this ingredient, such as wheat flour. Beyond the breakfast table, oats can be added to many meat entrees. For example, oatmeal pan be used to fortify a meat loaf instead of the usual bread binder. Substituted for b ead crumbs, oats — when mixed with eggs, margarine and milk — also make a great coating for baked chicken or pork chops.
