Health Hints are a quick, easy way to provide health education
to your congregation. They can be placed in the Sunday bulletin and I find most
people read them. The information should come from reliable sources and sited if
it isn’t common knowledge.

Health Hints:
January 2009
Health Hints: Beta-cryptozanthin is a unique anti-cancer nutrient. It can be found in sweet red peppers, oranges, peaches and papaya. Studies show that high levels of it in your bloodstream can reduce your risk of lung cancer. Try using these foods for snacks!
Health Hints: Dry Mouth is a side effect of more than 400 medications. For relief, sip water or milk; avoid alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco; and keep gum or hard candies on hand to stimulate saliva production.
Health Hints: Hugging laundry is not good. Soiled clothing and linens can harbor bacteria and other germs, so use a basket not you arms to gather and transport. Then remember to wash your hands after loading it into your machine. Preserve your nutrients by microwaving vegetables.
Health Hints: Boiling destroys 15 to 30 % of some of the vitamins in vegetables. Use a microwave-safe dish and just enough water to keep the food from burning (about a teaspoon for two servings) and cover.
