(NAPSA)—Sports nutritionisn’t just for professional athletes;for a good workout and quickrecovery, everyday athletes needthe right diet, too.

To help, CanolaInfo’s “Fuel Upfor Fitness” recipe collection deliv-ers a starting lineup of delicious,nutritious dishes made withcanola oil to help fitness fans pre-pare for exercise and repair theirmuscles afterward.

“These quick and easy recipesare made-to-order meals for theeveryday athlete,” says MicheleMacedonio, R.D., C.S.S.D., L.D., aveteran sports nutritionist andteam dietitian for Major LeagueBaseball’s Cincinnati Reds. “A goodworkout is draining and can leadto fatigue and sore muscles. Theright combination of foods helpsrestore energy and nutrients usedduring exercise and prepares yourbody for the next workout.”

The recipes provide complex car-bohydrates, fiber and protein withnutrition-packed ingredients suchas whole grains, beans, nuts, fruitsand plenty of vegetables. All thedishes are prepared with heart-smart canola oil to supply healthyunsaturated fats, including mono-unsaturated and omega-3 fats.

“Fat is an important energysource for athletes because it has 9calories per gram versus 4 per gramof protein and carbohydrate,” Mace-donio notes. “But it’s important tochoose the right kinds of fats.Unsaturated fats, such as thosefound in canola oil, in place of satu-rated and trans fats, are known toreduce ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol.”

The recipes, available at www.canolainfo.org, include:

•Powerhouse Green Smoothie•Muesli Muffins with Almonds

and Cranberries•Crispy Chickpeas and Pump-

kin Seeds with Lime

•Skillet Quinoa with BlackBeans, Cilantro and Feta

•Chunky Chicken, Vegetableand Rosemary Stew.

Each energy-boosting recipe hasless than 300 calories a serving.

Brussels Sprout, Blueberryand Walnut Slaw

Yield: 8 servingsServing Size: 3⁄4 cup

1 pound fresh Brusselssprouts, ends trimmed,thinly sliced or shredded(not grated)

1⁄4 cup chopped walnuts1⁄2 cup finely chopped red

onion1⁄2 cup dried blueberries

21⁄2 Tbsp canola oil21⁄2 Tbsp cider vinegar

2 Tbsp granulated sugar1⁄2 tsp salt1⁄4 tsp crushed red pepper

flakes

In medium bowl, combineall ingredients. Refrigerate 30minutes before serving.

The nutrient-rich ingredientsin the delicious slaw above makeit a smart choice for athletes.Brussels sprouts and blueberriesare an excellent source of antiox-

idants and phytonutrients, help-ing to support a strong immunesystem. Also, walnuts and canolaoil are among the top 10 foodsources of plant-based omega-3fat and may help protect theheart.

“Whether you’re fueling yournext exercise bout or about tobegin your post-exercise recovery,these are healthful foods that canfit into your fitness routine,”Macedonio says. “Eating righthelps your body function at itsbest however active you are.”

Sports Nutrition Score SheetMake friends with fat: Fat is

an important energy source forathletes but it’s important tochoose healthy fats. Canola oil, forexample, is a valuable source ofunsaturated fat, including mono-unsaturated and omega-3 fats.

Value variety: Love quinoa?Great, but you can’t live on onesupergrain alone. Athletes need avaried diet for the best mix of vi-tamins and minerals. Good nutri-tion, which fuels good perfor-mance, is about combining avariety of foods.

Avoid portion distortion:How much you eat is as importantas what you consume. Even nutri-tious foods, if eaten in excess, canadd unwanted weight that hin-ders exercise performance. Trainyour eye to recognize the rightportion sizes by measuring andportioning at home.

Don’t ignore complex carbs:Whole grains, beans, vegetablesand fruit are four good sources.Combined with protein, carbohy-drates speed recovery so you’reready for your next workout.

(NAPSA)—According to theCenters for Disease Control andPrevention, about 68 million peo-ple—1 in 3 U.S. adults—havehigh blood pressure. Also knownas hypertension, high blood pres-sure can lead to a stroke or heartattack. Fortunately, high bloodpressure is a preventable andtreatable risk factor for heartattack and stroke.

To help, Joseph Young, M.D., aKaiser Permanente internal medi-cine physician and the clinicalhypertension lead with The Per-manente Medical Group, answersa few basic questions and offersadvice on how to keep your bloodpressure in check.

Q: Can you give a quickBlood Pressure 101?

A: Blood pressure is just thepressure of blood flowing insidethe body’s blood vessels. The topnumber is the pressure when theheart pumps at its peak. The bot-tom number is the pressure whenthe heart is relaxing and fillingback up with blood. An ideal bloodpressure is 119/79 or lower.

Q: What i s h igh b loodpressure?

A: If your blood pressure is140/90 or higher, you have highblood pressure, also known ashypertension. In the UnitedStates, 29 percent of the adultpopulation, or roughly 70 millionpeople, has high blood pressure.Weight, lack of physical activity,consuming too much salt or alco-hol, stress, older age, genetics,family history and various dis-eases are contributing factors forhigh blood pressure. Fortunately,high blood pressure is preventable

and treatable with a healthylifestyle and a number of well-tol-erated, once-daily medications.

Q: What are the main guide-lines for healthy practicesthat can reduce risk?

A: Regular physical activity isvery important and helps to lowerblood pressure. Pick somethingyou enjoy—that will make it eas-ier to stick with it. It doesn’t haveto be fancy. You could just walkbriskly at least 150 minutes aweek, for example. Limit saltintake, too, because salt causesfluid retention, which increasesblood pressure. Cook with un -processed fresh fruits, vegetablesand lean sources of protein. Don’tdrink too much alcohol and doquit smoking. Smoking does notincrease blood pressure but smok-ing combined with high bloodpressure or with any other riskfactor is especially dangerous.

Q: What is the role of medica-tion with high blood pressure?

A: Medications are very impor-

tant for most people with highblood pressure. The medicationswe’ve used to treat high blood pres-sure have been around for decades.Over time, we’ve learned that com-bining medications in low dosesworks best and causes the fewestside effects. Today, most peoplewith high blood pressure who needmedications can control their con-dition with a once-a-day regimenwith minor to no side effects.

Q: Do you have any partingwords of advice?

A: High blood pressure in andof itself is just a number. We careabout it because we know if thenumber is high, there is anincreased risk of stroke and heartand kidney problems. If you havehigh blood pressure, have itchecked regularly and have fre-quent adjustments made in yourtreatment regimen until it’s wellcontrolled. If you don’t have a his-tory of high blood pressure, it’sstill best to have your blood pres-sure checked every two years.

A commitment to reducehypertension, strokes andheart attacks:

Kaiser Permanente is recognizedas a national leader in reducing andpreventing heart attacks andstrokes. Kaiser Permanente Col-orado was recently hailed as a 2012Million Hearts Hypertension Con-trol Champion. In Northern Califor-nia, 86 percent of Kaiser Perma-nente members with hypertensionhave their blood pressure undercontrol compared to 50 percentnationally. For more information,visit www.kp.org. For questions oradvice about a specific condition,consult with your physician.

The Lowdown On High Blood Pressure

Dr. Young offers advice on over-coming high blood pressure.

(NAPSA)—The quality of theair in your home should always bea priority, but during the coldermonths it’s particularly importantto monitor it.

The ProblemOne of the most common air-

quality problems in an indoorenvironment is particles in theair, such as allergens, viruses,bacteria and other contaminants.You have longer exposure to theseparticles when you’re inside for along time in the winter, and justbecause you can’t see these pollut-ants, it doesn’t mean they’re notthere. These lightweight particlescan stay suspended in midairunless properly removed, andsmaller particles can sometimescause the most adverse healtheffects.

The human body’s immune sys-tem is able to deal with a certainlevel of contaminants. However,once allergens or other airbornepollutants reach a threshold, neg-ative health effects and allergicreactions can occur.

“When the temperature drops,people tend to spend more timeindoors, which means more timesharing air in a confined area,”said Kent Kuffner, indoor airquality product manager, Carrier.“In addition, the air is notoriouslyharsh and dry in the wintermonths, so evaluate your home toensure that the air quality insideis optimized no matter how severethe weather gets outside.”

What Can Be DoneFortunately, by reducing the

contaminant levels of airborneparticles through proper indoorair-quality technologies, theseproblems may be alleviated. Here

are some hints on how:•Air purifiers clean harmful

microscopic airborne pathogensfrom the conditioned air and someeven capture and kill them to pre-vent them from re-entering thehome.

•Another common issue dur-ing the winter is dry air. In-stalling a humidifier can helpmaintain proper humidity duringheating season and help youavoid itchy, cracked skin, drynasal passages and static electric-ity. It may even reduce the dryingthat can damage wood furnitureand flooring.

“An added benefit to properlyhumidified air is that it feelswarmer than drier air,” Kuffnersaid. “When the humidity is right,you can actually lower your ther-mostat during heating season andstay more comfortable while sav-ing on utility costs.”

•Air infiltration is also a bigconcern. Today’s homes are builtfor better energy efficiency, with

tighter construction and less airinfiltration. While that’s great formaintaining temperatures, itmeans air can become stagnantand stale in your home, especiallywhen you and your family arespending more time indoors.

You need fresh air in yourhome and that’s where a ventila-tor helps. It works with your heat-ing and cooling system to allowclean, fresh outdoor air into yourhome without jeopardizing yourcomfort.

Who Can Do ItWhen evaluating your home’s

indoor air quality, it’s important todiscuss it with a certified heating,ventilation and air-conditioning(HVAC) contractor. All these help-ful solutions can tie right intoyour home comfort control, mak-ing it easy to monitor and regu-late indoor temperature, humidityand air quality.

The Tooth Truth(NAPSA)—Here’s a health idea

you can sink your teeth into:Leading physicians and veterinar-ians say dental health is impor-tant for people and animals. Gumdisease has been linked to suchillnesses as heart disease, dia-betes, respiratory disease, osteo-porosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Another connection is that oralhealth is sometimes overlooked inboth, explains Thomas G. Nemetz,DVM, Ph.D., an Adjunct Professorat St. George’s University Schoolof Veterinary Medicine, where hecoordinates and teaches twice-yearly dental courses to third-yearveterinary students.

“As you begin taking care of apet’s oral condition, his or herhealth drastically improves,” hesaid. “In the last 20 years, wehave been doing a better job atkeeping the oral cavity healthy—in both pets and humans. Ourpets are living longer, as are we,in part because of good preventa-tive dental care.”

Dr. Nemetz advised having oralhealth exams as part of routineoffice visits to cut down on peri-odontal diseases. According to Dr.Nemetz, about 80 percent of dogsand 70 percent of cats develop peri-odontal disease, requiring treat-ment by 3 years of age.

An Affordable AnswerTo A Knotty Problem(NAPSA)—Thanks to the inge-

nuity of a mother of three younggirls there’s good news for parentstired of trying to tame their chil-dren’s long hair.

Her insight—which came afteryears of struggling with her owndaughter’s hair—resulted in a hair-brush no bigger than the palm of ahand that makes most hair knotsdisappear and at a fraction of thecost of other less effective products.

Rikki Mor’s invention is calledthe Knot Genie. Its effectivenesshas to do with the varying lengthsof teeth on the brush. Whenbrushing, the bristles gently bendto unravel even the most stubbornknots.

The brush has achieved some-thing of a cult following amongmany celebrities and consumerswho have tried it. One womaneven said it transformed her lifeby making a difference in herdaughter’s behavior by eliminat-ing morning battles over hairbrushing.

Helping Hands—And Feet(NAPSA)—Face it: Your hands

and feet do a lot of work. Chancesare, your work or hobbies dependon them, so it’s important to keepthem clean, hydrated and freefrom cracks and splits. Here arehints on how:

•Wash your hands for at least40 seconds at a time.
