Tim’s CornerSome Good Advice:
Wag More!Paul Harvey was
an Americantreasure. He had anincredible voice, animpeccable sense
of timing and best-in-classdelivery. Who can forget his“Bumper Snickers“? For example:
• My Karma ran over yourdogma
• Women who seek to be equalto men lack ambition
• This is not an abandonedvehicle
• Don’t steal. Congress hatesthe competition.
As all of us know our country issadly (and in my opinion,unnecessarily) polarized anddivided. Given this situation, I’mconstantly looking for humor,wisdom, solitude and sanity.When the talk is filled with toomuch vitriol, I find musicsoothing. I also enjoy acombination of wisdom andhumor. While driving homerecently, I saw a bumper stickerthat I’m sure Paul Harvey wouldhave trumpeted. It wasparticularly salient and read, “WagMore, Bark Less.” In only fourwords, it speaks volumes about a“wise” way to live. Would not our
world be a better place if we allwagged a little more and barked alittle less? Along those lines, I havea plaque at home that contains anice wish: ”Lord, make me into theperson my dog thinks I am!” That’sgood stuff!
I am very thankful that PatriciaWill, the founder, President andCEO of Belmont Village,celebrates and honors ourVeterans. She commissioned awonderful photographer, ThomasSanders, to take photos of ourheroes. She then allowed apermanent exhibition of thesespecial heroes.

Hot Cocoa and HealthA cup or two of cocoa each day may do more than ward off a chill.
Cocoa is rich in antioxidants, potassium, iron and other nutrients. Hotchocolate is also chock-full of flavonoids, powerful compounds that arebeing studied for their link to fighting cancer, preventing stroke anddelaying dementia and other cognitive problems. Plus, sipping thissweet treat can make you feel better—not only because the drink isdelicious, but also because it raises the body’s levels of serotonin, whichproduces endorphins and can banish a bad mood.

February Is AmericanHeart Month. Let Us
Celebrate With “Eat RedWith Heart Health.”
It’s time to amend that “apple aday” aphorism. Tomatoes andcranberries keep the doctor away,too. New research shows thatincorporating these 3 red, roundfruits into your daily diet canreduce your risk of heart diseaseby as much as 40 percent. A hearthealthy diet is always the first stepin treating high cholesterol orhigh blood. Fortunately, theantioxidant-rich fruits (apples,tomatoes, cranberries) are as tastyas they are healthy.
TOMATOES A new study byTufts University in Boston showedthat eating lycopene -rich foodssuch as tomatoes more than 5x aweek over an 11 year period
reduced coronary disease risk by26 %.
APPLES An apple a day canreduce LDL (bad cholesterol) byas much as 40%, according to anew, small Ohio State Universitystudy. Be sure to munch on thefruit, rather than drink juice, thepeels house the most antioxidant.
CRANBERRIES Drinking 3 cupsof cranberry juice daily can raiseHDL (good) cholesterol levels by10% and reduce heart disease by40%, a study at the University ofScranton in Pennsylvania showed.Plus, this juice decreaseddiet-caused atherosclerosis(clogging of the arteries) bypreventing plaque from forming.
GO, GO, RED!
