Many Suffer Because
Of Being Overweight
By KATHERINE
HILLIARD
Are you one of the hundreds
of people in Warren
County who has a problem
with weight? Did you know
that obesity greatly contributes
to high blood
pressure?
Millions of Americans
across the United States
suffer from hypertension
due to excessive weight
gain. Most of these
Americans have great
difficulty in reducing their
weight and controlling it
once they have lost those
extra pounds.
For that reason, anyone
who is overweight should
find these helpful hints,
provided by the Community
Hypertension Program,
a good guide to reducing
and controlling weight:
To lose weight, those
eating habits which made
you gain weight must be
changed. (Fad diets or
crash diets do not offer the
proper nutrients needed by
the body and the weight
loss which may occur is
rarely ever a permanent
weight loss.)
Set a short-term goal for
yourself. Slow but steady
weight loss of one or two
pounds a week is best.
Eat three balanced
meals a day. never skip a
meal, including breakfast.
Eat slowly and really
taste everything you eat.
Meat, poultry, and fish
should be baked, broiled,
roasted or boiled. Eat oidy
the lean part.
Keep busy so you will not
be tempted to eat from
boredom.
Budget your calories in
consideration of special
occasions such as banquets,
dinner with friends
or parties.
Plan low-calorie "nibblers"
as part of your diet.
Save a food item from a
previous meal to use as a
snack.
Low-calorie "nibblers"
include: Raw vegetables,
raw fruit, diet or low-calorie
drinks, skim milk,
buttermilk, cheese and
popcorn with no salt or
butter.
Foods high in calories
that should be limited in
your diet include: fried
foods, gravies sauces,
added fats (butter), potato
chips, nabs, sugar, candy,
sweets, cookies, pie, cakes,
soft drinks, alcoholic
drinks, beer and wine.
Take advantage of daily
opportunities to increase
activities. Instead of riding,
walk whenever possible.
When tempted, remem
ber....you don't want to go
through this all over again,
do you?

FUNNYSIDE
Now, from Sun Savings...
MTheNew
Investment Opportunity
No One Should Miss." I
December, 1981 READER'S DIGEST
With a Sun Savings IRA retirement account,
anyone who works can retire rich for
few dollars a week.
Thanks to the 1981 Economic Recovery Act, any working person i
now eligible to contribute up to $2j000 a year ($4,000 for working
couples; $2,250 if just one spouse works) for retirement... and
deduct both the full amount saved and the interest it earns
from that year's taxable income.
With Sun Savings high interest and compounding, the
results can be mighty rewarding.
EXAMPLE: If you're 35 now and you put $20 a week into
a Sun Savings IRA Account, you'll have a whopping $308,733 when
you retire at age 65. That's nearly ten TIMES the amount you
deposited altogether .. . enough to pay yourself more than $375 a
week for fifteen years!
EXAMPLE: At 40 you and your working spouse both contribute
$2,000 each annually in a Sun Savings IRA. 25 years later, when you
retire, you'll have a fortune: more than $674£66 ... to do with as
you wish!
EXAMPLE: At 40 you decide
to deposit $2,000 each year in
a Sun Savings IRA. When you
retire at 65, you'll have multiplied
your money more than six
times... for a total of$337,433!
MEANWHILE.. .in every case, you can save hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of dollars on annual federal income taxes!
Come see us soon for full details.
Little wonder Reader's Digest calls IRA retirement plans
"The New Investment Opportunity No One Should Miss!"
And the sooner you get started with a Sun Savings IRA, the
1 richer your retirement can be! We hope you'll come see us to
1 open your IRA account right away!
