WS Nutrition
Osteoporosis, a disease of frag
ile bones, is a costly illness. While it
doesn't usually kill people outright,
it is a contributing cause of malnutri
tion, pneumonia, and loss of indepen
dence due to broken bones and abil
ity to move about. It sends people to
nursing homes or necessitates expen
sive home care. In 1995, total costs
were estimated at $13.8 billion for
nearly 25 billion for nearly 25 mil
lion people with osteoporosis.
An elderly woman's risk of frac
turing a hip is greater than her com
bined risk of getting breast, uterine
or ovarian cancer. One of every two
women and one of every eight men
will develop osteoporosis during their
lifetimes.
Osteoporosis, like hypertension,
is a "silent" disease. Calcium can
dribble out of a person's bones for
years without him or her being aware
anything is wrong. Loss of spinal
bone can be painful. The infamous
"dowager's hump" and shorter stat
ure are signs, but often a broken hip,
wrist or spine first makes a person
aware of what is happening.
Bones are living, changing tis
sue. Throughout life, bone is being
removed and rebuilt. During adoles
cent and early adult years, more bone
is lost than replaced. All women 50
years and older should have a bone
scan to determine risk for osteoporo

What does it mean?
Lactose Intolerance means that
a person does not have enough of the
enzyme lactase in their body to di
gest the sugar in milk called lactose.
Common symptoms include nau
sea, cramps, bloating, gas, and diar
rhea. If you have any of these symp
toms after drinking milk or eating
cheese or ice cream, talk to one of us.
We can help you to find ways to en
joy dairy foods w ithout embarrass
ment or other problems.

der for non-dairy creamer in coffee
and tea for more calcium and no fat.
-Add dry milk power when mak
ing mashed potatoes, using 13 cup
per 4 servings
-In cooked cereal, add 3 table
spoons of nonfat dry milk powder to
each Vi cup of uncooked cereal (such
as oatmeal, Cream of Wheat, or corn
meal) before you cook them. Use the
same amount of water you usually
would.
Did You Know?
One of every two women and

Nutrition Pill Box
Calcium Pills
Although food is always the best
source of calcium, some people can't
get enough from their food.
Benefits of Calcium
-Helps prevent and treat os
teoporosis (thin, breakable bones)
-May help prevent and treat high
blood pressure
-Decreases PMS symptoms by
about 50
-May help prevent colon cancer
What kind?
Calcium pills should be vitamin
D fortified. Vitamin D helps calcium
work in the body. Don't buy bone
meal or oyster shell calcium unless
they say "USP" on the label. Other
wise they are often contaminated with
lead, a dangerous mineral.
How much?
1,000 to 1,500 mg calciumday
2 to 3 pills a day at 500 mg calcium
per pill. Don't go over 2.000 mg 'day.

Salmon Corps
January 2001
The Earth Conservation Corps'
(ECC) award-winning Salmon Corps
will begin the 2001 program year in
January. The program year will con
clude in mid-November 2001.
Salmon Corps program years
had previously begun in October and
ended in August. This change is in
. response to our partners request for
services during planting periods in
September. Because of this change,
Salmon Corps will not be available
for service between the months of
September- December 2000.
"We, as an organization, have an
opportunity to evaluate how we've
served the community during the past
six years," said Charles F. Sams III,
Northwest Director. "We will be fo
cusing on building a stronger pro
gram that continues to meet the needs
of the environment and communities
we serve."
Salmon Corps began in 1994
with a goal of energizing Native
American young adults (18-25 years
old) to repair the disappearing
salmon habitats of the Columbia
River Basin. This approach fulfills
ECC's mission of reclaiming two of
the country's most threatened re
sources: the environment and our dis
advantaged young people.
