“Optimum Health Tips”
This month we have for you ……
INDEX:
Health & Diet Tip:
Want Great Legs?
Bend your knees deeply to reach an item on a low shelf, then straighten up without leaning forward or holding onto anything for support.
When you get into or out of a chair, don't depend on the arms for help. Instead, let your thigh muscles contract to lower and raise your body while your back is kept straight.
Climb stairs two at a time, with a straight back and without leaning dependently on the handrail.
In the theater, on a bus, or during a meeting, sit with your lower back against a chair, then press your two legs tightly together as if they were one for as long as possible.
To increase your walking speed, take longer strides rather than shorter, quicker steps. By lengthening your pace you're using more of your thigh and hip muscles.
Just before you retire at night, stand with your knees slightly bent and grip your pillow between them. Squeeze the pillow for 8 counts as if trying to crush it. Repeat several times.
Power Quotes:
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw
off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the
trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
"Fun is about as good a habit as there is."
Healthy Recipe
Cooking Apples
Apple pie or apple cobbler can be made vegan fashion with evaporated cane juice for sweetener and whole-grain pastry flour for the crust. A little non-hydrogenated vegetable oil makes an excellent fat substitute if needed.
Applesauce: Peel and core apples. Cut into slices, put them into a saucepan, and add a little water or apple juice to cover the bottom of the pot. Cover pot, start heat on high, and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium, and cook gently, about 15 minutes, stirring often and checking liquid to prevent burning. When soft, the apples can be mashed for a textured applesauce or put through a food mill or food processor for a smoother texture. Add any spices, flavoring extracts, and sweeteners to taste and cook for another minute or two to set the flavors. Cool and store in the refrigerator.
Apple Butter: Apple butter begins with the preparation of applesauce, then spices are added and the mixture is cooked longer. After adding the spices, flavorings, and sweetener, remove the pot lid, and continue cooking over medium-low heat until the mixture becomes very thick, stirring frequently. The process may take an hour or two depending on the water content of the apples. Cool thoroughly before refrigerating.
As an alternative, you can bake your pureed, spiced apples in a shallow pan in the oven at 300 (gas mark 2) for 2 hours until thickened. With either method, check for doneness by putting a little dollop of apple butter on a dish and turning the dish upside down. The mixture should stick to the plate.
If you plan to make a large quantity for gift giving, have hot sterilized jars ready and spoon your hot apple butter into the jars, leaving only 1/8-inch at the top. Seal immediately and cool.

Boil oat meal and massage to scalp, comb after 10 minutes and shampoo after 15 minutes. Repeat this once in week.
Help for Itchy Scalp
Suggestions to help: Use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of peanut oil, rub together in both hands and message into your scalp before you get into the shower. Wash your hair as usual.
Brush your hair frequently to remove the flakes.
Massage your scalp to improve circulation.
Avoid using alkaline based shampoos.
Try a jojoba oil based shampoo and use it regularly. Try a final rinse of one cup warm water mixed with two to three tablespoons of white vinegar. This will also bring out the highlights in your hair and make it shiny.
Massage 20 crushed asprin (you can use a generic brand about $1.50) mixed in 1/2 cup water into your dry scalp before shampooing.
Massage warm olive oil into your hair and scalp cover your hair with plastic wrap and with two warm, wet towels for 20 minutes, then shampoo your hair twice.

Editor’s notes & Humour:
EXCESS WEIGHT: We all know that being overweight is bad for a person's health and makes energy levels plummet. Your body has to work harder and longer just to move and breathe! Each pound you lose will add to your vitality.
ZINC: An ideal remedy for fatigue, say most researchers. You can find the marvelous mineral in lean meats, eggs, cheese, breakfast cereals and whole-grain breads. Or, buy it in tablet form at any health food store.
USE YOUR MUSCLES: Too much rest can be exhausting. If your muscles are not worked for 24 hours, they'll weaken - and you'll feel tired. But there's an easy remedy. Simply do any exercise for at least ten minutes a day. You'll have so much pep in your step, you'll want more.
