'Heart healthy'
cooking classes offered
[MAY 17,
2003]
Learn how to cook foods that
are lower in fat and sodium in the "Heart Healthy Eating" series
sponsored by University of Illinois Extension, Logan County. If you
have heart disease, including high blood pressure or high
cholesterol, you know choosing and preparing foods can be a real
challenge.
|
|
The program objective is to increase
participants' knowledge of risk factors for heart disease, dietary
factors and their relationship to heart disease, and to review how
individuals can affect their own heart health. Ways to alter foods
to reduce fat and salt will be discussed in the classes.
"Those attending will learn how to cook
with low-fat products, herbs and spices and using less salt,"
explains Jananne Finck, nutrition and wellness educator with
University of Illinois Extension. Finck is a registered dietitian at
the Springfield Extension Center.

15 participants is needed, and preregistration is needed by
Thursday, June 12. There will be two sessions, June 17 and 18, from

DOGS
Big to little, most of these dogs will make wonderful
lifelong companions when you take them home and provide solid,
steady training, grooming and general care. Get educated about what
you choose. If you give them the time and care they need, you will
be rewarded with much more than you gave them. They are
entertaining, fun, comforting, and will lift you up for days on end.
Be prepared to take the necessary time when you bring home a
puppy, kitten, dog, cat or any other pet, and you will be blessed.
[Logan County Animal Control is thankful for pet supplies donated by
individuals and Wal-Mart.]

[Just look at those faces! These 9-week cuties love to
roll and tumble and play.
But don't let their small size fool you. They are
boxer-collie mixes, so they'll get quite a bit bigger!] |
