Recondition Your Nutrition
March is Nutrition
Month, a month to
ditch the junk food,
add exercise, and
take on healthier
habits. An easy
place to start is to
eat more fruits, whole grains, and vegetables.
Having fresh fruit and vegetables in your home
is an easy way to add healthy vitamins and
nutrients to your diet. Another excellent step is
eating food in the correct portions: it is not only
important to eat healthy foods but also to eat the
correct amount of healthy foods.
A daily exercise routine, even something as
simple as a daily walk, increases fitness.
Studies show that as fitness increases, mood
betters, energy increases, stress decreases, we
have the strength and endurance to do the
things we enjoy, and we look and feel our best.
Perhaps it is no coincidence that March is also
Quinoa Month (pronounced KEEN-wah). This
ancient seed, harvested high in the Andes
Mountains, is one of nature’s most perfect
foods. In 1955, researcher Philip White wrote,
“While no single food can supply all the
essential life sustaining nutrients, quinoa comes
as close as any other in the plant or animal
kingdom.” That’s high praise for
an often-overlooked food.
Quinoa is called a grain
and is cooked like a
grain, but it is not a
grain at all. From a
botanical point of view,
quinoa is more closely
related to beets and
spinach. It is a complete
protein, gluten free, and rich
in potassium. The ancient Incas
called it the “mother of all grains” and
considered it sacred. It can be found today in
breads, crackers, granola, beverages, pasta,
and even shampoo. It’s a nutritive powerhouse.

WASH YOUR HANDS! STOP COLDS &
FLU BEFORE COLDS & FLU STOP
YOU!
Hand washing is especially important
during cold and flu season. Careful
attention to washing hands throughout the
day can prevent you and those around
you from coming down with colds and flu.
Here’s a short “refresher course” in handwashing – a skill you probably perfected
when you were very young and shortened
the procedure as you grew older and
busier.
1)
Wet hands with warm, clean
running water.
2)
Apply soap.
3)
Rub hands together for at least 20
seconds – the time it takes to sing the
“Happy Birthday to You” song.
4)
Scrub the tops of hands, between
fingers and under fingernails.
5)
Rinse hands in warm running
water.
6)
Dry hands on a clean paper or
cloth towel.
Good hand washing skills can reduce
your risk of catching a variety of diseasecausing viruses, bacteria and other
micobes by as much as 50%, according
to the American Society for Microbiology
and the American Cleaning Institute.

March Madness
The “Road to the Final Four” begins Tuesday,
March 17. Sixty-eight of the country’s best
men’s college basketball teams begin a threeweek tournament known as March Madness, or
the Big Dance. There are so many games that
it takes different television stations to cover all
the action. CBS, TNT, TBS, and TruTV often
cover games simultaneously, and it’s not
uncommon for viewers to watch multiple
games on multiple TVs at the same time.
The tournament also is significant for college
basketball programs hoping to elevate their
reputations. Basketball’s professional league,
the NBA, holds its draft three short months
after the finish of the tournament. A college
player’s performance can improve or impair his
chances to sign with a professional team. The
Big Dance isn’t about individual standouts but
about team play. The top contenders are
familiar: Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, Arizona, and
Wisconsin. However, the beauty of March
Madness is when an unlikely team wins against
all odds. These “Cinderella” teams are often
what bring the Madness to March.
