N' Parks incorporates science-based information about lifestyle
choices that can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease
and skills for adopting heart-healthy behaviors into regular
activities offered by park and recreation departments and
other community-based agencies. The program focuses on encouraging
Americans of all ages to aim for a healthy weight, follow
a heart-healthy eating plan, and engage in regular physical
activity. Log on to www.nrpa.org for
more info. |

and exercise initiative. See www.communityhlth.org/education/audio.html |
How
does Chocolate Bread Pudding sound? Or an oven-baked casserole
of sandwiches covered with a milk and egg mixture, then baked?
How about Corn Chowder made with canned cream of mushroom
or potato soup, creamed corn and corn kernels? These are
just a few of the recipes included in two brochures produced
by the University of Connecticut. Food pantries often provide
canned soups and vegetables, and breads so these booklets
were designed with that in mind. www.canr.uconn.edu/nusci/outrch/EFNEP.html
(See Simply Soups and Cooking with Bread.)

it a surprise that when cold weather hits, low income people
might choose to pay their heating bills and spend less money
on food? Check out www.ajph.org/cgi/content/abstract/93/7/1149 |
