Tips for Handling Stress.
Regulate your life as much as possible; take some creative control of your activities. Exercise adequately; take a long walk outside if possible, breathe deeply, get some sunlight. Shower regularly and drink plenty of water. Eat nourishing food with an adequate supply of B vitamins. Don't take yourself too seriously. Take time for rest and relaxation. Reach out to help someone. Keep life--present and future--in proper perspective.--A Key Encounter.
The Benefits of Eating Wheat.
An important battle in the war against disease may be whole-grain wheat. While it has long been believed that wheat's fiber content might prevent cancer, new research shows that wheat contains powerful antioxidants that strongly contribute to the prevention of colon cancer, and possibly diabetes and heart disease. These antioxidants are found in the wheat's orthopedists, and orthophenols survive the baking process. --Kansas State University.
Nuts Are Good for You!
Adults who substitute two ounces of almonds for other foods can reduce their LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) by 10 percent in just a month. Almonds are high in monounsaturated fat, a good type of fat also found in avocados, olive oil, and other nuts. When monounsaturated fat replaces saturated or trans fats in your diet, cholesterol levels fall.
Nuts also are a good source of protein. But researchers stress that without substituting nuts for other foods, the resulting weight gain can negate their cholesterol-lowering effect. --Circulation.

A Safe Diet for Everyone.
C. Everett Koop, former surgeon general of the United States, suggests the best menu is a "a varietal diet rich in complex carbohydrates and protein obtained from whole grains, beans, peas, legumes and a selection of root vegetables. Daily servings of leafy vegetables, daily servings of fruit, a few nuts and 8-10 glasses of water."--North Pacific Union Conference Gleaner, October 2002.
