March 2015 March 2015 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. March Birthdays .

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. Pauline Nnawuba, Director of Nursing . 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.
