Hello Foodie Friends

They say an apple a day keeps the doc away right? With getting a daily dose of vitamin C and just having gotten over a weeks long illness I'm all for that. For a refreshing salad recipe for a lunch or side that is low in fat, sodium & virtually Cholesterol Free...try today's COLD TORTELLINI APPLE SALAD. This is a great lunch idea too for bringing to work but be sure to keep it chilled until ready to eat. Something like this makes it easy to get your daily dose of "C".

Enjoy & STAY WELL ALL!

STARVE A COLD...FEED A FEVER?

Or is it "Starve a fever and feed a cold"? I always used to get that saying mixed up but with cold and flu season upon us it's a good time for some prevention tips. As simple as it sounds, good hand washing will reduce the incidence of bacterial and viral infections by one-third to one half and stomach viruses by up to 80%!

Practice a ritual of good hand washing by using these tips:

1. Use warm water.

2. lather up for at least 15 seconds (I learned on Oprah
last yeat to sing one verse of "Happy Birthday" to yourself to keep track of this and haven't been able to get it out of my head since.)

3. Rub front of hands together to cause friction and get between fingers and under nails too.

4. Rinse thoroughly and dry. * Be sure to change towels often.
