| THE BEST MEDICINEf- LAUGH! FIRST DOSE There are always two ways to look at everything, I guess. My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion last October, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife noticed me staring and asked me, "Do you know her?". "Yes", I sighed, "She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since." "My God!" says my wife, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" Got a Joke? E-mail it to us: frontpage@collectivewizdom .com |
| THE BEST MEDICINE- LAUGH! SECOND DOSE Last night, my friend and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug." She got up, unplugged the TV, and threw out my wine |
DIET AND FITNESS:
Fiber Rich Foods
February 20, 2008
By Susan M. Callahan, Associate Editor and Featured Columnist
Water and oil and fiber are the 3 keys to healthy bowel
movement. And bowels movements are great indicators of your
overall health.
Here is a list of fiber-rich foods for your reference.
Twenty-five Fiber Foods
This list can serve as a general guide. For more specific calorie and fiber content of
particular foods, to estimate your daily and weekly quotas, refer to the alphabetical chart
that follows:
1. Broccoli
This includes baked beans, kidney beans, split peas, dried limas, garbanzos, pinto
beans and black beans.
2. Bran cereals
Topping this list are Bran Buds and All-Bran, but 100% Bran, Raisin Bran, Most and
Cracklin' Bran are also excellent sources.
3. Lima beans
4. Fresh or frozen green peas
5. Dried fruit, topped by figs, apricots and dates
6. Raspberries, blackberries and strawberries
7. Sweet corn,
8. Whole-wheat and other whole-grain cereal products.
Rye, oats, buckwheat and stone-ground cornmeal are all high in fiber. Whole grain
bread and pastas.
9. Dried beans, peas, and other legumes
10. Baked potato with the skin
(The skin when crisp is the best part for fiber.) Mashed and boiled potatoes are good,
too-but not french fries, which contain a high percentage of fat.
11. Green snap beans, pole beans, and broad beans
(These are packaged frozen as Italian beans, in Europe they are known as haricot or
french beans.)
12. Plums, pears, and apples
13. Raisins
14.Spinach
15. Nuts
Especially almonds, Brazil nuts, peanuts, and walnuts (Consume these sparingly,
because of their high fat content.).
16. Cherries
17. Bananas
18. Carrots
19. Coconut
(dried or fresh-but both are high in fat content).
20. Brussels sprouts
21. Prunes
22. Beet greens
23. Kale
24. Collards
25. Turnip greens
