A6 August 30, 20 12 The Chronicle Healthy from page A4 less healthy than meals you prepare. • If you have freezer space, purchase frozen veg etables, which are fresher and often cheaper than canned vegetables. • Purchase fresh fruits and vegetables when they are in season; they can he 2 or 3 times as much when pur chased out of season. • Prepare large batches (i.e. double batches) of favorite recipes and store in individual servings. You can then use these servings for lunches (for school or work) and other meals to avoid eat ing out. • Don’t always plan your meals around meats. Instead, let your main course be whole grains, such as rice, or beans, like bean soups and refried beans in wraps. • Always try to eat left overs - try using them in a new dish or with new flavors to spice up your menu. • Try drinking water instead of sodas. Not only is it healthier, this can especial ly save money when you go out to eat. • Many restaurants now have very large portion sizes for the entree and dessert. Try sharing these dishes with someone and splitting the cost. • If you have diabetes, instead of purchasing “dia betic” snacks, which are healthier but more expen sive, choose low-calorie snacks, For more information and other tools and tips for eating healthy on a budget, check out the US Department of Agriculture's Choose My Plate web site at http://www.choosemyplate.g ov/healthy-eating-on-bud- get.html.

Desrosiers and her team obtained the job histories of about 10,000 fathers with children with one or more birth defects born between 1997 and 2004, and the job histories of 4,000 fathers of children without birth defects. They then classified the fathers’ jobs into 63 groups, based on what kinds of chemical and potential hazards they may be exposed to on the job. The study only looked at the fathers’ job three months before conception and the first month of pregnancy, which is considered a criti cal period for susceptibility to damage passed on in the father’s sperm. The results show that almost one-third of jobs were not linked with a high er risk of birth defects in infants. These jobs included healthcare professionals, dentists, firefighters, archi tects and designers, car assembly workers, fisher men, entertainers, smelters and foundry workers, stone masons and glass blowers, painters, train drivers and maintenance engineers, sol diers and commercial divers.

The moves are set to high energy gospel music. “"We’re going to have a great time tonight,” Quire- McCloud, a married mother of four, told participants at the Aug. 23 Praize Kraze session. “No matter what happened today, we’re going count it all for the glory.” Prior to the session, partic ipants joined hands for a heartfelt prayer led by Quire- McCloud’s father. Rev. Christian Quire. “The main reason we are here tonight is to lift up the name of Jesus,” Quire- McCloud said. “...The work out part, we’re going to get that, but I want to see women joyful. If this workout class can facilitate something and they can connect with that, I feel like the mission’s been accomplished.” Quire-McCloud, an alum na of Appalachian State University, said she was inspired by participants in her weekly traditional Zumba classes, also held at the Miller Park Rec, to start Praize Kraze. “What’s in you naturally comes out and people see that, so 1 would have people requesting prayers,” she said. “It’s truly a ministry,” Tre McCloud, Quire- McCloud’s husband of 14 years, isn’t surprised that Praize Kraze has taken off. He Precious Quire-McCloud and husband Tre pose with their children (counter-clockwise) Jamison, 3, Courtland, 9, Micah, 4 and Mackenzie, 7. credits his wife’s infectious energy. “What you see on stage is her 24/7. She’s singing, she’s dancing all the time,” related the AT&T employee. “... That’s the kind of life she always wants to bring to the Praize Kraze classes. Whatever’s burdening the par ticipants, she wants them to leave it at the door.” McCloud, who is working on a fitness instructor certifi cation so that he can also lead Praize Kraze classes, said workout is just the medicine that many need in times like these. “We just want to get everybody moving in the Spirit. We want them to feel better after they leave,” he Photos by Layla Ganns thing like this is what the city needs, what the state needs, what the country needs. Praise delivers, and she was bom to do it.” Winifred “Winnie” Giddings, a professional life coach and Quire-McCloud’s first cousin, had high praise for the workout after experi encing it for the first time last week. “It’s awesome,” declared Giddings, owner of Perception Matters Coaching. “I like it because it’s freedom to wor ship and be who you are...That’s the beauty, when everybody can come together - male and female - and cele brate God.” Giddings, 50, takes Zumba classes several times a week and said her Praize Kraze ses sion was a welcome break from the norm. Proceeds from the classes, which cost $5 per person, will be designated for different charities as time goes on, Quire-McCloud said. She is already accepting offers to bring the program to churches and other organizations, and hopes to begin training other instructors soon. “The vision that I see is it has to be bigger than me,” commented the 39 year-old. “I want to keep uniting people.” The next session of Praize Kraze will be held at Miller Park Recreation Center on Thursday, Sept. 27 at 6 pm.
