eirs Health Week
This week. June 14-20. is
celebrated nationally as Men's
Health Week Men’s Health
Week is celebrated each year
as the week leading up to and
including Father’s Day. The
purpose of Men's I lealth Week
is to heighten the awareness of
preventable health problems
and ehcourage early detection
and treatment of disease
among men and boy s.
This week gives health
care providers, public policy
makers, the media, and
individuals an opportunity to
encourage men and boys to
seek regular medical advice
and early treatment for disease
and injury . It is important that
- men know the facts and take
care of their health because
it ultimately affects the entire
family
Did you know that one
in 5 American men has
heart disease and three
in 4 American men are
overweight? According to the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, men die at
higher rates than women from
the top 10 causes of death and
women are 100% more likely
■ to visit the doctor for annual
examinations and preventive
services than men In addition,
men are the victims of over
02% of workplace deaths.
In 1920, women outlived
men by an average of one year.
Today, that difference is more
than five years. Why? It’s
because men:
* Die younger - and in greater
numbers - of heart disease,
stroke, cancer, diabetes, and
many other diseases.
* Don’t take care of themselves
as well as women do.
* Are-more likely to engage in
unhealthy behav ior.
* Don’t seek medical attention
when they need it.
* Are less likely than women
to adopt preventive health
measures
* Are less likely to have health
insurance
* Are more likely to work in
dangerous occupations
So. listen up guys. There
are several things you can do
to stay healthy and prevent
chronic diseases from affecting
you and your family . The single
most important way you can
take care of yourself and those
you love is to actively take part
in your health care Educate
yourself on health care and
participate in decisions with
your doctor
Daily Steps to Good Health
are:
1. Don’t Smoke
2 Be Physically Active
3 Eat a Healthy Diet
4. Stay at a Healthy Weight
5. Drink Alcohol Only in
Moderation
In addition, it is important
to get regular checkups and
consult with your doctor
about other men’s health
screenings and tests. For
more information about men’s
health issues, please contact
the county Extension office at
325-356-2539.

Becoming a
Savvy Farmer’s
Market Shopper
Farmers’ markets are
becoming more common in
neighborhoods around the
country and with this increase
in popularity has come an
increase in vendors and
consumer choices.
When it comes to buying
vegetables, start small: buy
salad ingredients to-have at
dinner each night Purchase
vegetables you know how
to prepare. Once you gain
confidence, add new items.
Also, search for staples
you’d normally buy at the
supermarket like eggs, flour,
bread, coffee, fish, nuts, seeds,
honey and even soap.
Since items at a farmer's
market change often, bring a
general shopping list rather
than a specific one for the
whole week: ingredients for
salads, produce for side dishes
that go well with planned
dinners of fish, chicken or
meat entrees. To prevent fruit
rotting in the fridge, estimate
how many pieces of fruit
you’ll need for your lunches
all week.
H6re are more ideas on
how to maximize your trip to
the farmers’ market:
Don't be shy. The people
selling products want to
answer your questions, so go
ahead and ask them about the
produce you aren’t sure of.
Learn the lingo. Not
all farmers can afford the
organic certification, so ask
them the difference between
"greenhouse grown" and
"grown or raised without
hormones". You’ll become
a savvier shopper at any
store after learning from the
experts.
Time your outing. If you
can only go on weekends,
get there early. Otherwise, go
on a weekday in the middle
of the day. The less traffic
in the market, the more
opportunities you’ll have
to get the best products and
chat with vendors. If you’re
shopping on a budget, going
at the end of the market day
will usually enable you to get
some great deals and negotiate
prices with the vendors.
Bring cash and reusable
bags. Small bills will make
transactions easy and you’ll
need a sturdy, eco-friendly
bag to carry your purchases
home.
Become a gourmet. Ask
the. vendors for cooking
suggestions; sometimes they
provide recipes. Or enter your
new vegetable in the search
box at www.epicurious.com
to discover recipe ideas.
Be flexible. Accept that
produce will not look perfect.
But it has been grown
naturally and picked recently,
which means it’s packed with
flavor and nutrients.
