At fast food restaurants, choose the salad or pasta bar but don’t if load up on heavy dressings or sauces. A salad with a large amount of dressing, seeds, croutons and tfecon bits, may end up being more calories than a regular burger and fries. Select plain sandwiches without all the special sauces and cheese.

In general, Italian dressings are made with unsaturated fats while creamy dressings are higher in saturated fats. Both, however, have the same number of calories per serving.

The National Safety Council has these suggestions for enjoying your kite safely this spring: Electrocution is a major hazard associated with this pastime. Try to choose a clear day and a flat, dry surface to fly your kite. Wear dry clothing and steer your kite away from electrical wires and signs, as well as TV and radio aerials. Take advantage of public parks and open areas that are away from busy streets, buildings and railroad crossings. Be on the lookout for rocks and holes while running with your kite and try to gauge the wind current to avoid entangling the kite string. t Finally, decide to buy a new kite before risking your life to rescue an old one by climbing telephone poles or trees. .

Lock the car with the key. I have done this for years since my first cars, of the 1950 s and 19605. could be locked in no other way. Competition finally forced the manufacturers to provide the convenience of a lock which made it possible to lock the keys inside, but the door can still be locked by using the key.
