NEVER RETIRE. Michaelangelo was carving the Rondanini just before he died at 89. Verdi finished his opera Falstaff at 80. And 80-year old Goya scrawled on a drawing, "I am still learning." 2. EIGHTY-FIVE PER-CENT (85%) OF LUNG CANCERS ARE CAUSED BY SMOKING. But among non-smokers the risk of one form of lung cancer, adenocarcinoma, increases with the amount of saturated consumed daily. The "JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL CANCER SOCIETY" reports this risk can be reduced by a diet rich in fruits and vegetables especially those high in beta-carotene. 3. GET A PAP SMEAR IF YOUR A WOMEN. It's not very complimentary but male physicians do fewer Pap smears. According to the "NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE" women who have a female physician are twice as likely to receive Pap smears. They are also 40% more likely to get a mammogram. 4. BUY A CAR WITH AIR BAGS. It is estimated that if all cars in the U.S. had been equipped with driver's side air bags about 4,000 people killed last year would have survived. Air bags increase the chance of surviving a frontal collision 29%. 5. CHILDREN AGE 6 TO 11 WHO CONSUME NEARLY TWICE THE 800 MILLIGRAM AMOUNT OF CALCIUM DAILY RECOMMENDED FOR (ABOUT FIVE GLASSES A DAY INSTEAD OF THREE) DEVELOP STRONGER BONES. This protects them from fractures later in life. 6. We're often told never drink and drive, but it's also DANGEROUS TO DRINK AND WALK! About half of adult pedestrians killed in traffic accidents have been drinking. And more than a third were legally drunk. 7. WEARING THREE-INCH HEELS PUT 76% MORE PRESSURE THE BALL OF THE FOOT THAN GOING BAREFOOT. Even a two-inch heel increases the pressure to 57%. This extra pressure may contribute to bunions, hammer toes and other abnormalities. 8. BUY CANATLOUPES. Half a cantaloupe contains nearly double the amount of vitamin C than an orange. 9. IF YOU LOVE MEAT AND WORRY ABOUT THE FAT CONTENT, EAT GAME SUCH AS BUFFALO AND VENISON. A four ounce serving of buffalo steak contains only 2 grams of fat compared to 10 grams in a similar amount of sirloin steak. Wild animals normally don't get fat, and their meat is only slightly marbled. 10. DON'T USE LAXATIVES. Try increased fiber and prunes for constipation.

Researchers believe prunes contain a substance that stimulates intestinal contractions. 11. NO ONE ENJOYS HAVING COCKROACHES IN THE HOUSE. But if you have asthma, they're a special hazard. A study at the University of Kentucky fund that cockroach allergens cause asthmatic attacks in about 60% of asthmatics. 12. AVOID PASSIVE SMOKE. It also kills dogs. A report from the University of Colorado found that dogs of owners who smoked were at 50% greater risk of developing lung cancer. Every year smoking kills more North Americans than died in World War II and Vietnam put together. 13. DON'T DRIVE AT 3:00 AM SUNDAY MORNING. You are 134 times more likely to die than if you drive the same distance at noon of Sunday. 14. DON'T LET FAT-FREE AND LOW-FAT CANDIES FOOL YOU. A report in the "WALL STREET JOURNAL" claims sales of these products such as jelly beans, licorice and desserts such as Jell-O are booming. But because it's "low-fat" doesn't mean you can eat all you want. It's most likely high in sugar and that means it's a;so high in calories. <<***** Continued Next Message *****>> ++- * VbReader 2.22 #549 * Growing old is mandatory++growing up is optional ++- QScan/PCB v1.17b / 01-0348 * Origin: FidoNet: CRS Online, Toronto, Ontario (1:229/15) From: Sam Lefkowitz Date: 10-22-95 Subject: Golden Rules (2/2) ====================================================================== ==== ==== <<***** Split Message. Part 2 Of 2 *****>> 15. DEVELOP A LIKING FOR WHOLE WHEAT PITA. Whole wheat pita, like whole wheat bread is more nutritious than bread made from refined wheat. Pita has almost no fat and only about 70 to 80 calories per ounce. The average 7 inch pita weighs about 2 ounces and contains only about 150 calories. In contrast abagel or long sandwich roll weighs 4 ounces and contains 320 calories. 16. THE 40-YEAR OLD MAN WHO DOESN'T EXERCISE, doesn't wear a seat belt, smokes two packs of cigarettes a day and is 30% overweight costs twice as much in medical bills as an other man with healthier habits. 17. DECREASE YOUR EXPOSURE TO SUN.

By age 18 most people have received 50 to 80% of their lifetime exposures. Excessive exposure to the sun is related to skin melanomas. 18. EVER YEAR 110,000 NORTH AMERICANS RECEIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT AFTER CLIMBING A LADDER. Itis usually because the ladder is not long enough and they step on the top two or three rungs. 19.

PEOPLE WHO TAKE VITAMIN E HAVE UP TO 70% LESS CHANCE OF GETTING CATARACTS. Vitamin E also decreases the chance of heart attacks by 25 to 50%. 20. STUDIES SHOW THAT MODERATE DRINKERS OF BEER, WINE OR LIQUOR LIVE LONGER THAN EITHER TEETOTALERS OR HEAVY DRINKERS. Alcohol helps to oil the blood making it less likely to form a fatal blood clot.
