Eating Habits Can Protect Hearts
Many healthy persons may un
knowingly be increasing their
risk of heart attack by eating
a typical American diet, the
North Carolina Heart Associa
tion warns. But moderate chan
ges in such a diet can reduce
this risk.
One aim should be tocutdown
on the Intake of cholesterol and
saturated fats, which contribute
to atherosclerosis, a form of
hardening of the arteries under
lying most heart attacks. At the
same time.there are other goals
to keep In mind-maintenance
of a nutritionally-adequate diet
and, through calorieccctrol, re
maining at a desirable weight.
To achieve these aims, the
North Carolina Heart Associa
tion suggests specific foods that
should be used morefrequently,
and others which should be used

sparingly, or not at all. Changes
in eating habits can be applied
to every meal of the day, and in
every course of the meal from
appetizer to dessert-literally
from soup (skimmed of fat)
to nuts (which have no choles
terol and are low in saturated
fat).
Chicken, turkey, veal and fish
are low In saturated fats, and
should be used in most of the
meat meals during the week.
No more than five meals a week
should Include beef, lamb, pork
or ham. At that, the housewife
should choose lean cuts of
these meats and trim off visi
ble fat before cooking. Bake,
broil, roast or stew the meats
and discard the liquid fats which
cook out. Certain high-protein
vegetables dired beans and
peas, baked beans, lentils
occasionally may be used in
place of meat. Three or. four
ounces of cooked meat or fish
(not counting bone or fat) or
a similar amount of a high
protein vegetable is recom
mended as an average serving.
Among the fat-laden foods
to be avoided are duck, goose,

burgers, bacon and luncheon
meats. Cholesterol-rich foods
to be restricted in use Include
egg yolks, the organ meats
liver, kidney and sweetbreads
-and - the shellfish-crab,
lobster, shrimp and clams.
Since liver is very rich In
vitamins and iron, It should not
be eliminated completely from
the diet. A four-ounce serving
of liver In a meat meal no more
than once aweek is permissible,
A four-ounce serving of shell
fish may be substituted for
meat no more than once aweek.
Virtually every fresh fruit

. T
The Perquimans County
Chamber of Commerce will be
working closely with the Histor
ical Society and one of the first
things we'll be tackling is the
restoration project. The society
has inaugurated a tour of some
of the area's historical spots
and. she of the first things we'll
be tackling is the restoration
project. The society has inaug
urated a tour of some of the
area's historical spots and the
two could be tied together.
Speaking of area history, the
Chamber was informed by the
society that only about four of
the 17 "firsts" listed in the
Perquimans County brochure
are actually correct. It seems
that piece of literature is a
fount of misinformation. The
County Commissioners will be
getting up a new brochure soon
and the Chamber will help all
it can.
It was decided that a medical
brochure was an unnecessary
expense, so in our quest for a
doctor in this area to help Dr.
Brinn,the regular brochure can
be used. It will take about and
show pictures of our excellent
hunting, fishing, boating and
general recreation areas.
It was brought out at the last
meeting bytheway,thatwecould
search overseas for a medical
man to settle here. This has been
done in other areas of the state
and has been most successful.
The Chamber hopes that ef
forts of interested citizens in
holding onto our bus station will
be successful. It's scheduled to
close the first of the year and
we've written Trailways to find
out what can be done to keep it
in its current convenient loca
tion, December 11 is definitely a
day to mark on your calendar.
That will be the Christmas par
