Whole Grains Help Round
Out a Healthy Daily Diet
The latest federal nutrition
guidelines recommend a daily
diet that is dominated by fruits
and vegetables; however some
recent data indicates that the
top spot belongs to flours and
cereals. Even as experts
encourage Americans to adopt
a healthier lifestyle, there are
lots of options for adding
nutritious whole grains to the
plate.
Department of Agriculture
Loss-Adjusted Food
Availability data from 2009
shows that flour and cereal
products accounted for the
bulk of the calories the aver-
age American consumed on a
daily basis, roughly the equiv-
alent of 619 calories a day.
Meanwhile, fruits and vegeta-
bles only registered 205 calo-
ries.
The current Dietary
Guidelines for Americans
advocate that adults ages 19
and over consume between six
and eight ounces of grains
each day. while boys and girls
ages 9 to 18 eat five to eight
ounces daily. Small children
between ages 2 and 8 should
eat between three and five
ounces. Exact amounts depend
on a person's age. gender and
level of activity.
The guidelines recommend
that at least half of the grains
consumed should be whole
grains, and suggest that indi-
viduals can either consume
enough 50 percent whole grain
products to equal the recom-

Sports Safety Eyewear
As any parent involved in youth sports can tell you. each
sport has its own unique safety equipment: shin guards for
soccer, shoulder pads for football, battling helmets lor base
ball or softball. This list goes on and on. Yet for most partici-
pants in sports, one of the most important parts of the body
almost always goes unprotected: the eyes. As a consequence,
every year more thun 40,000 people suffer eye mnuries while
paying sports. Most of these could be avoided, according to
Prevent Blindness America, by wearing proper eye protection
and the injuries that can prevent

important to our diet. They
provide the necessary fiber for
proper digestion and could
play a role in decreasing the
risk of diabetes, heart disease,
cancer, stroke and obesity.
Making sure that at least half
the grains you eat each day are
whole grains can be accom-
plished with some fairly sim-
ple changes that can ultimately
have a big impact on your
health. You’re also setting a
good example for your chil-
dren, friends, family and
neighbors by encouraging a
healthy environment overall.
One easy first step is
replacing refined grain prod-
ucts with their whole grain
counterparts.
Swap white bread and
bagels with 100 percent whole
wheat versions, and begin
using brown rice instead of
white rice.
Recipes also are good start-
ing points when looking for
ways to incorporate a variety
of whole grains into a diet.
Adding brown rice or barley to
vegetable soups and stews or
incorporating bulgur wheat in
casseroles or stir try dishes not
only boosts the nutritional
value of the meal, but also
gives it a new layer of texture.
Try substituting buckwheat,
millet or oat flour for up to half
of the flour in pancakes, waf-
fles. muffins and other flour-
based recipes. Don't be atraid
to be creative and adventurous.
This is a perfect opportunity to
try less familiar whole grains
like quinoa and hominy.
Oatmeal is a familiar, heart
healthy whole grain breakfast
or snack option that can be
sweetened w ith fresh or dried
fruit Combined with dried
fruits, it makes a granola that
is low in fat. sodium and sugar
In addition oatmeal can be
used as part ot the crust or bat
ter for a dessert, and it works
well for extending mealloat or
meatballs, a strategy that helps
stretch food dollars
Whole gram cereals can
form the basis lor nutritious
trail and snack mixes, while
popcorn, another whole gram,
is a healthy alternative when
fat and sodium are controlled,
or if its air pupped
While incorporating whole
grains into a diet can be
accomplished relatively easily,
it is not always quite as simple
to identify them Products

Advice for Whatever Ails School Kids
M __tiutai f.wul Mo inh:ilt»rv :iri» :i Uttotol illtM
Dear Pharmacist.
I have four kidi all in
school between kindergarten
and 8th grade. We are at the
doctor’s office all year long.
Do you have advice to help
parents like me (and other stu-
dents) who catch whatever is
floating around?
-L.Y.. Long Island, N.Y.
Answer: Great question!
Many parents have their
hands full with work,
commuting and family
responsibilities. Having a
sick child can throw a snag in
an already full schedule. Here
are some tips to help you with
common conditions that often
occur in the fall and winter
season. Remember, these are
just suggestions so everything
you read here should be dis-
cussed with your pediatrician.
Here’s what to do if your child
comes down with:
• Stomach flu-
This commonly used term
really refers to gastroenteritis,
an inflammation of the stom-
ach or intestinal tract caused
by food poisoning, a vims,
bacteria or contaminated
water. Symptoms include
cramps, headache, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, fever
and/or swollen lymph glands
Dehydration is the scary com-
plication here, so avoid that. If
you are able to hold food
down, eat bland foods like
rice, toast or baby food. My
best advice is to drink 100
percent pure coconut water; it
contains natural electrolytes
that closely match your blood
and it’s better than sugar-
laden sports drinks in my
opinion.

• A
respiratory infection- This is
usually caused by a vims and
quite common in the fall. It
usually runs its course caus-
ing a nasty cough, fever, nau-
sca/vomiting. diarrhea and
exhaustion. In the pharmacy.
Dimetapp, Triaminic and
PediaCare are all popular
medications for symptom
relief in children. In (he health
food store, you could look for
Elderberry extract. Hyland’s
Homeopathic Belladona
extract or Boiron's
Oscillococcinum The big
problem with a respiratory
infection, is that it can trigger
an asthma attack. Do not
ignore breathing issues for
they can be fatal; you will
need to gel a prescription
inhaler from your physician,
something such as albuterol
Two inhalers are a g«xxl idea,
send one with your child (or
(he school nurse) and keep the
other at home. The pharmacist
should put a complete label
with directions on both con-
tainers.
• Sore throat- Use zinc
lozenges. This pain-relieving
mineral does double duty by
blocking viral cell reproduc-
tion. Even though studies
conflict, one trial conduct-
ed at the Cleveland Clinic
in 1996. found that people
who took zinc lozenges
throughout the day fell relief
from their colds in under 5
days, compared to the non-
treated group who suffered for
almost 8 days. Lozenges are
better than tablels/capsules
for a sore or tickly throat. For
kids. 1 would stick to dosages
on the label, don't lake any
extra.
• Head lice- The pharmacy
fix is Nix or Rid insecticide
all-in-one kits. An alternative
to these chemicals include
Zero Lice by Thursday
Plantation which contains nat-
ural ingredients such as tea
tree oil, ylang vlang. citronel-
la and eucalyptus. Nit
removal is most important so
