HALL County fcitenilon Agent Older folks can add more life to their years and perhaps years to their lives by following good eating hints from Oregon State University nutritionists. In 1900. 48 was considered the average life span for adults. To day, TO is an overall average. And those who reach 70 have prospects of living another 12 years. Following a basic food pattern ;i!l through life plus daily exer cise of some kind contributes greatly to vibrant living, say home economists. Here are some of their suggestions for older! folks: Forget birthdays and en joy good eating by regular use of foods selected from basic food groups meat, fish, poultry, milk, cereals and breads, vegetables and fruits. The many vitamins now known to be essential in hu man nutrition are available through the generous supply of foods on grocery store shelves. Ar vitamin pills necessary? Only if advised by your doctor. After you reach 40, yotir metab olism will likely slow down even though you remain as active as always. Although you need Jess food, you still need all the nutri ents food provides, advise special ists, so cut down on calorie-rich foods that supply energy but not special vitamins. Desserts (es pecially those that contain fat and sugar), carbonated drinks and sweet rolls fall in this class. If you live by yourself, how can you make foods taste and look good? Buy small amounts. They may cost more but they stay fresh for the length of time; it takes to eat them. Use manyj of the dried, frozen and canned foods. Nonfat dry milk stores well for months on the pantry shelf and can be mixed a glass at a time. A loaf of bread goes a lone way if you freeze half and use the rest fresh. Storing bread in the refrigerator retards mold but hastens staling. Take time to prepare some thing that looks good and it'll taste better, they advise. Put a small bouquet of flowers on the table, use some of the nice dish es you save for "good," and in vite a friend in to eat. If you need to watch your weight, go easy on high-calorie foods. Generally, those foods that are greasy, heavy for their size, sweet and gooey, carry the most calories. Substitute low fat top pings tmade from nonfat milk) for whipping cream, lemon Juice for mayonnaise, and a little grat ed cheese for rich gravies. By just cutting down on the amount of fats, you can reduce your calorie intake quite easily. All foods contain calories but fat foods carry nine calories per gram compared to four calories per gram for protein and carbohy drates. If chewing Is difficult, cube chop or grind some foods. Think twice before you invest a large sum of money in a blender or juicer. You can't put any more food value into a food than was originally there. In other words, vegetable Juices are not any more nutritious than the fresh vegetables. Cook vege tables until just tender in about ' cup of water. See that greens are kept in the refrigerator in plastic bags and Used while still crisp and fresh. Walking is a good cheao tnni even in the rain. It keeps muscles and heart strong and improves circulation in the coronary areas.
