Public Meeting – Northern Lehigh Community & Recreation Center Please join us, the Northern Lehigh Recreation Authority (NLRA), as we host our first public Community & Recreation Center Strategic Planning meeting. We understand that the Northern Lehigh Community Center project has been discussed for many years but the new Northern Lehigh Recreation Authority has just started the process of looking to complete this facility. This will not be ‘just another meeting’ but rather a crucial turning point in getting this facility built for you and your family to enjoy! This meeting will bring local leaders and the community together to discuss the future opening and sustainability of the Northern Lehigh Community & Recreation Center facility. Constructing this facility will start a new chapter of providing residents with expanded opportunities for education and recreation, thus improving the overall quality of life for residents in the northwest region of the Lehigh Valley. We sincerely hope you can join us on Thursday, September 20, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. in the Northern Lehigh School District Administration Building, 1201 Shadow Oaks Lane, Slatington, PA. We are asking YOU to please take

one hour out of your busy schedule to attend and provide input and feedback. Kimmel Bogrette, Architect and Site Planners, will lead this community-wide effort and has worked with more than 85 communities and municipalities developing an expertise in community recreation facilities. Kimmel Bogrette will also be working with Ballard*King, one of the nation’s elite community center consultants, who have assisted with more than 300 recreation facility projects across the country. Ken Ballard will be flying out from their Colorado headquarters to personally oversee this study from start to finish including the public meeting on the 20th. These firms are currently working on similar community and recreation center projects for North Fayette Township and The Township of Derry, and have recently worked with Montgomery Township, Bethlehem Township, Radnor Township, Upper Merion Township, West Chester Borough and Haverford Township, among many others, to study possibilities for developing and operating recreational venues.

33 Healthier Ways to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth BY KATE MORIN

I’ve always been one of those people that needs something sweet after dinner. It doesn’t need to be fancy, just something to satisfy my sweet tooth and stop it from nagging me. But sticking to just a small, sweet snack can be tricky. Let's be honest: Anything that seriously satisfies our sweet tooth isn't going to be the epitome of a healthy meal. Though all of these snacks contain (gasp!) sugar, we aimed to find lower-sugar options that offer something beneficial, whether it be a sneaky superfood (like strawberries and grapes) or additional nutrients like fiber or protein. So here are 33 less guilty ways to indulge any sweet tooth. 1. Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry Combat chocolate’s not-so-healthy side by using it as a semi-sweet jacket on superfoods, like strawberries! Dip and let set in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating has hardened. 2. Choco-Nut Popcorn Pop a small bag of natural popcorn and top with 1 tablespoon melted peanut butter and a dusting of cocoa powder. Crunchy and the perfect amount of sweetness! Not sweet enough? Try swapping peanut butter for Nutella. 3. Frozen Chocolate Banana This is the perfect frozen sweet treat with some extra nutritional punch! Bananas are a great source of vitamins C and B6, and are also packed with fiber and potassium. Peel a banana, cut into two equal halves, and freeze. Once solid, take out and roll in melted dark chocolate. While the chocolate’s still melty, roll in whichever crunchy topping you like— sprinkles, nuts, and granola all work well! Return to the freezer until the chocolate is set (at least an hour). Enjoy! 4. Yogurt Parfait Top 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla) with

your choice of toppings: crumbled graham crackers or granola, nuts, and fruit are all healthy choices. Add some shaved chocolate if you must! 5. Fresh Fruit Can’t get simpler than this. Any piece of fresh fruit should offer enough natural sugar to fill those cravings. Plus, it’s definitely the healthiest choice and you get added nutrients and fiber! 6. Dark Chocolate Sorry, friends—not any old chocolate bar will send you to healthful heaven. But dark chocolate (think more than 70 percent cacao), which lacks all the added fat and sugar of classic milk chocolate, can actually be a healthy treat in moderation. Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants and can even help regulate levels of the stress hormone, cortisol. 7. Chocolate Milk Not only is chocolate milk a great way to fit a hint of sweetness into your day, research shows it’s actually an effective post-workoutrecovery drink, too! 8. Smoothie It’s easy to find an easy, healthy smoothie recipe for breakfast, a snack, or dessert. In fact, here are 54 healthy smoothie recipes sweet enough to fill any of those cravings. 9. PB&J We’ll admit it: A good portion of the Greatist office is addicted to peanut butter and jelly. Half of a classic sandwich on whole wheat bread (grape, strawberry, or whatever type of jelly you like) provides an excellent amount of sweetness with a little dose of protein and fiber to boot. 10. All-Fruit Popsicle There’s no added sugar in these sweet and cool treats. Simply puree watermelon chunks and some Continued on page 10 News@TownAndCountryGazette.com || SEPTEMBER 6, 2018

limejuice, freeze, and enjoy. If it’s not watermelon season, try any other juicy fruit: Pears, peaches, or berries with a touch of apple juice for base will all make great pops. 11. Cafe Mocha This is the perfect way to get a kick of caffeine and a serving of dark chocolate all at once. Opt for low-fat milk and stick to a small size to keep the calorie count low. 12. Banana Ice Cream This one-ingredient ice cream is the perfect afterdinner treat. If you’re feeling fancy, try mixing it up and adding in a peanut butter swirl or a few teaspoons of cocoa powder for some chocolate flavor. 13. Nutella Yogurt Dip with Fruit This is a healthier take on chocolate fondue. Instead of pure chocolate, mix Nutella with Greek yogurt and use as a dip with some fresh fruit or low-sugar cookies or crackers. 14. Cereal and Milk You can make this one as healthy or unhealthy as you like. Opt for a high-fiber, whole-grain cereal if you're going the healthy route and sweeten with a bit of honey or cinnamon. Of course, if you feel

like going the "naughtier" route, there's always chocolate chex. 15. Sorbet Especially during warmer months, keeping a pint of healthy homemade sorbet on hand is the perfect way to fill sugar cravings without overdoing it on the white stuff. This super-simple plum sorbet doesn’t use any sugar—just 3 little tablespoons of honey per quart (and we promise there’s no lack of sweetness!). 16. KIND Bar These are a Greatist HQ staple. Kind bars come in a ton of awesome slightly sweet flavors (including a few drizzled in chocolate — yum) perfect for sweet tooth snacking. Plus, you get a dose of omega 3s and protein. Go for a full-sized bar if your stomach’s grumbling, or opt for a "mini" if hunger pangs haven’t quite set in. 17. Graham Cracker with Peanut Butter This is a classic combo. The graham cracker is just sweet enough and the peanut butter adds a luxurious silky smooth texture. If you need a little more sweetness, opt for chocolate or cinnamonflavored graham crackers. Bonus points for getting an extra dose of calcium when enjoyed with a small glass of low-fat milk! Continued on page 13

18. Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pretzels A little salty sweet combo can cure those sugary cravings. Microwave 1 square of dark chocolate and 1 teaspoon natural peanut butter until melted, and dip 1 large or 10 mini pretzel rods. 19. Frozen Greek Yogurt Drops This one’s brilliant. It’s this simple to turn a cup of plain old Greek yogurt into a quick frozen treat that’s fun to eat: Combine 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt with ½ cup frozen berries and stir it all up until the fruit has broken down and the mixture has an even consistency. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and drop 1/4 teaspoons of the mixture onto the sheet, leaving enough room between each drop so they don’t touch. Freeze for a few hours until solid and pour all the drops into a plastic baggie. Store in the freezer until you’re ready to snack! 20. Fruit Leather Fruit-by-the-Foot? Not exactly a healthier choice. But a low-sugar, fruit-only dried fruit leather can be a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth. Just make sure to find a brand with no added sugar. 21. Baked Apple This treat is easy to make ahead and reheat, or

whip up in an instant right when you want it. Stuff the apples with oats, nuts, and just a little honey for sweetness. 22. Pudding Chocolate, vanillas, pistachio—take whichever flavor you like most and whip some up with skim milk. Enjoy ½ cup without any guilt! Top with some fresh berries for added fiber. 23. Fruit and Cottage Cheese Not only does this option satisfy sweet teeth, it provides a perfect serving of filling protein, too. If plain fruit isn’t sweet enough, try drizzling with honey or mixing in a teaspoon of cocoa powder. 24. Frozen Grapes Pop a vine in the freezer for a few hours and out comes a long-lasting, slightly sweet treat packed with antioxidants and other nutrients. The biggest health boost? Resveratrol, which studiessuggest may help lower levels of LDL cholesterol and promote blood vessel health. 25. Animal Crackers A small handful of animal crackers is not just an ideal snack for kindergarteners. A good-sized handful (about 16 crackers) has just about 120 calories and only 7g of sugar.

26. Hot Chocolate Skim (or soy) milk can make a healthful base to this slightly sweet drink—just don’t overdo it on the chocolate syrup. 27. Waffle-wich Time to give that Eggo a makeover. Start with a whole-grain version of the classic frozen waffle. Toast to desired crispiness and slice in half. Top one half with 1-tablespoon peanut butter and 2 sliced strawberries. Top with other half, and enjoy!

28. Flavored Greek Yogurt Typically, we opt for plain yogurt with our own tailored flavorings to cut back on sugar. However, if you’re looking to indulge a bit in the first place, a small cup of flavored Greek yogurt is a great option. Even though it has some sugar, it also offers a good amount of protein and will keep you full until that next meal. 29. Cinnamon Toast No, Cinnamon Toast Crunch doesn’t count. Instead, toast up a slice of whole-grain bread and top with ½ teaspoon of butter (or substitute), ¼ teaspoon of sugar, and as much cinnamon as your heart desires!

30. Trail Mix (with Dark Chocolate) A small serving of a healthy mix of nuts like almonds and pistachios with a few nice chewy pieces of dried fruit (like cranberries or cherries) and some dark chocolate pieces makes a great snack mix with good nutritional value too. 31. “Banana Butter” Rice Cake Here’s a surprise: Bananas are so sweet on their own they can help sweeten any treat. Mash ½ a ripe banana until mushy, and swirl in a teaspoon of peanut butter. Spread on a rice cake, and enjoy! 32. Yogurt Dipped Fruit This one's sweet—literally. Start by making the yogurt coating mixture by combining 1 cup of your favorite Greek yogurt with 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar. Blend until completely smooth. Now get dipping: Coat your favorite fruits (grapes, bananas, apple slices, and strawberries work well) in the yogurt mixture and set on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Once full, place the sheet in the freezer until the yogurt hardens. (The sugar is what creates the semi-hard shell on the outside of the fruit. If you like, you can omit the sugar and just keep the fruit frozen so the yogurt "shell" stays intact.) 33. Blueberry Frozen Yogurt When ice cream cravings hit, try whipping up some of this frozen blueberry-based treat.

Should Your Family Eat This or That? By DIMITY MCDOWELL

Peanut Butter and Jelly or a Ham-and-Swiss Sandwich? The better choice: PB & J. Two tablespoons of any kind of peanut butter provides about eight grams of protein. And peanut butter is a great source of monounsaturated fats, which help increase good-cholesterol levels and protect against heart disease. (Ham is much higher in sodium, and cheese adds saturated fat.) You can also use low-sugar jelly to reduce calories, says Amy

Jamieson-Petonic, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association (ADA). Keep in mind: Even though peanut butter is a healthy choice, it still has 16 grams of fat a serving. Spread it sparingly and, ideally, on whole-wheat bread. Puffed Rice Cereal or Raisin Bran? The better choice: Raisin bran. "Iron-rich raisins pack a nutritional punch, and one cup of raisin bran has around seven grams of fiber, which kids don't get enough of," says Elisa Zied, M.S., R.D., the author of Feed Your Family

Right! (John Wiley & Sons, $17, amazon.com). Fiber recommendations by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) range from 19 grams, for 1- to 3-year-olds, to 31 grams, for 9- to 13-year-old males. Also, cereals with flakes retain more of their nutritional value than puffed varieties, according to a 2006 study published in Food Chemistry. Keep in mind: Be sure to brush after eating the sugarcoated raisins-one serving of raisin bran has 19 grams of sugar. Apple Juice or Orange Juice? The better choice: Orange juice. When comparing apples to oranges, OJ is the clear favorite. Eight ounces of 100 percent natural juice has more than twice the amount of vitamin C recommended by the USDA for children ages 1 to 13 (and six times the amount found in an equal serving of apple juice). Even if your child drinks a small glass (more like four ounces), she'll probably get her daily fix. Keep in mind: For complete nutrition and a fuller, satisfied feeling, nothing beats going directly to the source. Eat an apple or an orange instead. Hamburger or Hot Dog? The better choice: Hamburger. Headed to a barbecue? Opt for a burger, which is lower in saturated fat than a hot dog, contains a healthy dose of B vitamins (which keep the immune

and nervous systems humming), and is an excellent source of protein (18 grams in three ounces of 95 percent–lean beef). "A hefty nutritional package," says Elizabeth Ward, M.S., R.D., the author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Feeding Your Baby and Toddler. Plus, a study of more than 37,000 women found that frequent consumption of processed meats, like hot dogs, may be linked to type 2 diabetes. Keep in mind: When making burgers at home, use ground meat that is at least 90 percent lean, since 85 percent lean has nearly eight more grams of fat per three-ounce serving than 95 percent–lean meat. Pretzels or Cheerios? The better choice: Cheerios. When packing the ubiquitous snack bag to toss to a kid in a car seat (or to quiet a screamer in a stroller), choose the O's. Not only are they fortified with vitamins and minerals, but a one-cup serving also contains six milligrams of iron, which is just shy of a kid's daily allowance. Iron is crucial for development of the brain and the nervous system. In addition, Cheerios are made with whole grains and little sugar-a rarity in a cereal (or a snack, for that matter).

Keep in mind: As snacks go, pretzels aren't bad. They're low in fat and calories. To increase their nutritional value, choose whole-wheat pretzels and low- or no-sodium varieties. Yogurt or Applesauce? The better choice: Yogurt. Growing bones need calcium, and six ounces of yogurt provides about 200 milligrams of it-a substantial amount, considering that USDA guidelines call for 800 milligrams daily for kids four to eight years old. In addition, yogurt has five grams of protein (applesauce contains neither calcium

nor protein). To get the most nutritional bang, look for brands with live and active cultures, which are beneficial bacteria that aid in gastrointestinal health. Keep in mind: Yogurt can be high in sugar.Yoplait Kids, which has 25 percent less sugar than the average yogurt for kids, has 13 grams, about the same amount in a fun-size pack of chocolate candies. A better call: plain yogurt, which has the most calcium of any dairy product. Sweeten it with honey or fruit.

Carrots or Peas? The better choice: Carrots. Peas are a fine choice, but carrots have more nutritional value on their résumé. They are higher in antioxidants, including beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, an essential for eyesight, a strong immune system, and the upkeep of cells and tissues. Keep in mind: Peas have plenty to offer, including fiber and folate, two nutrients that may help fight heart disease and cancers. The bottom line? "Don't worry about the vegetables your kids avoid. Capitalize on the vegetables your kids like, then try to introduce other produce gradually," advises Ward. Cheese Pizza or Grilled Cheese? The better choice: Grilled cheese. Cheese is a good source of calcium and protein, no matter the dish, but this battle comes down to how and where the meals are made. Pizza probably comes from a delivery person; grilled cheese is usually made at home, where you can control the type of cheese, the amount of butter, and the bread. (Ward suggests reduced-fat Cheddar, Olivio spread in place of butter, and whole-wheat bread.) Plus, grilled cheese has built-in portion control. A large pizza often lingers for breakfast. Keep in mind: A pizza is a better vehicle for

vegetables, like red peppers, broccoli, and extra tomatoes, if you can slip them in. Chocolate or Vanilla? The better choice: Vanilla. "Chocolate products contain a small amount of caffeine," notes Melinda Johnson, M.S., R.D., a spokesperson for the ADA. "If a child overdoes it with chocolate, he may be a bit more wired than usual. Most adults won't feel the effect." Keep in mind: Birthday treats are just that-treats. Let kids have no more than one slice of cake, which is packed with saturated fat, and one scoop of ice cream.

Eat This or That Continued from page 19

Spaghetti or Macaroni and Cheese? The better choice: Spaghetti. If your child likes to slurp up marinara with his spaghetti, then you've got a winner by an(angel) hair. Tomato sauce is significantly lower in fat and calories than the melted Cheddar that's all over the elbow macaroni. It also contains lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that may prevent certain types of cancer and heart disease. Make sure you have a jar of the red stuff on hand, as noodles with butter won't give you the healthy lift. Keep in mind: To lower the risk of heart disease and diabetes, pick whole-grain pasta instead of ones made with enriched flour. Whole-grain pasta can have a strong flavor, so don't skimp on the sauce. (You can also replace marinara with a leanmeat Bolognese.) Chicken Nuggets or Fish Sticks? The better choice: Fish sticks. "Fish sticks have omega-3 fatty acids, and the nuggets don't," says Johnson. "And every little bit of these acids helps. They are critical for neurological and cognitive development, and they may reduce asthma, eczema, and allergies." You are more likely

to get your toddler to eat fish sticks than a salmon fillet, so get those omega-3s in where you can. Keep in mind: Chicken nuggets and fish sticks are both high in fat. Frozen varieties range from 10 to 20 grams per serving, with up to five grams of saturated fat and 500 milligrams of sodium. SpaghettiOs or Chicken Noodle Soup? The better choice: SpaghettiOs. A canned pasta that might sit on a shelf for months might not scream "fresh and nutritious," but SpaghettiOs are fortified with nine vitamins and minerals and have quite a bit of fiber and protein. They also have less sodium than canned chicken noodle soup. One drawback: They are sweetened with 13 grams of sugar per one-cup serving. Keep in mind: Homemade chicken noodle soup is the best call, whether you've got the flu or not. Add diced carrots and other vegetables to up the nutritional value. Fruit Leather or Granola Bar? The better choice: Fruit leather. One hundred percent natural fruit leather has about 45 calories and a short ingredient list-usually fruits and juice-making it the obvious choice. Even fruit-leather brands that add corn syrup are significantly lower in fat and calories than granola bars. Keep in mind:"Neither is a great choice when it comes to dental health," says Zied. "They're very sticky and gooey." That means bits get lodged in the teeth and usually need a good brushing to become unstuck. At the very least, have kids drink a glass of water to wash away some of the cavitycausing remnants.

Some people prefer liverwurst, corn meal mush and bacon, But bean soup and apple butter bread beats all. When I was grown up, I worked day and night. The pieces flew, I made all kinds of money. I was able to buy anything in the grocery store, But I longed only for one thing and you know what that was â&#x20AC;Ś Chorus An attractive little Dutch girl got a hold of me one day. She took me to the summer kitchen and sat me at the table. She fed me with good eats, yet I was still hungry. I sneaked into the kitchen and found something there.

Chorus I am now an old grandfather, am rather heavy- set. I must be careful in what I eat, the doctor said I should. But when Grandma goes away and no one else is around, Then I eat what I want to and I don't give a hoot! Final Chorus: I eat bean soup and apple butter bread: the joy of the Dutch. There's naught that goes down better, and makes the belly so wide. Some people prefer liverwurst, corn meal mush and bacon, But bean soup and apple butter bread, yes, bean soup and apple butter bread; Oh, bean soup and apple butter bread beats all!

Curb Your Sweet Tooth

Are you addicted to sugar? Learn how to fight sugar cravings and reap the sweet rewards By TODD HUFFMAN

Are you high? Before you say no, consider what you've put in your mouth lately. If it includes anything from rainbow-colored cereal and caramel Frappuccinos to cold cuts and ketchup, there's a decent chance you're riding a sugar rush right now. Don't feel bad--just about every person in America is buzzed with a sugar addiction. Research shows that nearly a quarter of our daily caloric intake--325 calories on average--comes from sweets like baked goods, desserts, soda, and fruit juices. In other words, from sugar. Now feel the rush… Sweet treats are bad news because they typically deliver a load of calories with little to no nutrition. A more troubling fact: As our consumption of the white stuff rises, so do the numbers on our scales. A study published in the Annual Review of Nutrition analyzed American diets and found that from 1970 through 2000, daily caloric intake among women ages 20 to 39 jumped from 1,652 to 2,028. But get this: Over the same period, the percentage of calories we were getting from fats and protein decreased. Only the amount of carbs--particularly sugar--shot up. On average, each of us scarfs 25 pounds more sugar annually than women did back when American Bandstand started airing in color. There's no dancing around it: Sugar is a huge part of what's making us fat. Now brace yourself for two more nasty news flashes: (1) Eating too much sugar can stoke your appetite rather than satisfy it, and (2) it can even become addictive--no surprise to those of us who have a daily 3 p.m. Snickers jones so strong we might be tempted to hurl an office chair at the vending machine if we ever ran out of change. But don't despair, gummy-bear lovers: There's light at

the end of this frosted, candy-coated tunnel. With a little determination, you can train yourself to stop craving sugar. And when you do, you'll experience something truly sweet: weight-loss success. Sweet and Vicious The newest threat to our waistlines actually has been decades in the making. In fact, we can pinpoint exactly when the sugar time bomb started ticking: 1967, the year high-fructose corn syrup, the first scientifically engineered sugar, was created. A combination of fructose and glucose, HFCS is a clear, sticky liquid with the consistency of maple syrup that can be cheaper to manufacture and sweeter than natural, cane-derived sugar (1.16 times sweeter, to be exact). That means food companies can use less (though they still use a lot) to achieve the same degree of sweetness, which translates to bigger profits. Beverage companies in particular started buying the stuff by the ton. Over the years HFCS also began replacing the sugar in cereals, granola bars, and even flavored yogurt. In 1970 HFCS accounted for less than 1 percent of all sweeteners consumed in America. By 2000, after countless fat-free products were pumped full of sugar to improve their taste, that figure had risen to 42 percent. Now, HFCS accounts for half of all sweeteners, and the United States is both the largest News@TownAndCountryGazette.com || SEPTEMBER 6, 2018

producer and consumer of HFCS in the world. Manufacturers currently use the taste-budpleasing stuff to flavor a huge variety of products, including foods that wouldn't normally contain sugar and that you probably wouldn't describe as sweet, like the sesame seed bun on a McDonald's hamburger, or the Saltine crackers you crumble into soup. Even if you vigilantly shun the sugar bowl and never let a piece of candy cross your lips, you could still be eating a diet loaded with sugar from stealth sources. According to a 2008 USDA report, more than 57 percent of all the sugar on the market is purchased by the food and beverage industry to flavor consumer products, and sweeteners (fructose, sucrose, glucose, and HFCS) are the No. 1 food additive. If you eat without carefully checking food labels and restaurant websites for nutrition information, you may inadvertently be pouring sugar down your throat. Where does it all end up? Yep, right in that jiggly jelly roll hanging over your jeans. Taking Our Lumps Even when you're perfectly aware that your favorite brand of peanut butter is spiked with sugar, buying the unsweetened kind can feel like a major sacrifice of taste and texture. And that's just peanut butter--think of all the other sweet indulgences that are hard to resist: a croissant on the way to work, a

handful of M&Ms, the candy-flavored cocktail in the sugar-rimmed glass at happy hour. There's a reason you keep coming back for more: You've got a habit. In a 2005 study in Physiology & Behavior, a group of Princeton researchers led by psychology professor Bart Hoebel, Ph.D., found that eating sugar triggers the release of opioids, neurotransmitters that activate the brain's pleasure receptors. Addictive drugs, including morphine, target the same opioid receptors. "Sugar stimulates receptors to activate the same pathways that are stimulated directly by Continued on page 32

drugs such as heroin or morphine," Hoebel says. When this phenomenon was studied in lab rats, Hoebel's students found that after 21 days on a high-sugar liquid diet, one group, whose feeding was delayed by 12 hours, showed signs of withdrawal, including anxiety, teeth chattering, and depression. While no human trials have been conducted yet, researchers hypothesize that sugary drinks, especially those consumed on an empty stomach, are similarly addictive for some individuals. So if you regularly replace breakfast with a sweet coffee drink, you could be setting yourself up for a sugar addiction. By constantly eating sugar, you also force your pancreas to work overtime. As you eat more, it pumps out massive amounts of insulin; eventually, your body may become less sensitive to sugar and, essentially, build up a resistance to it. Just as a frequent drinker needs to knock back more beers in order to feel their effects, you can begin to need more sugar to feel satisfied. The Replacements How hooked you get on sugar may depend largely on what kind you eat. Fructose, the natural sugar 32

found in fruit and certain vegetables, doesn't make you immediately feel as if you need another sugar hit again, mainly because the fiber and other nutrients in those foods slow down the digestive process and help keep your blood sugar level stable. That's one reason nutritionists always advise that snacks consist of fruit and not candy. And although it often gets all the blame, highfructose corn syrup isn't the only problem sugar. The main issue is that ever since the creation of that particular sugar, increasingly higher amounts of all sugars have found their way into our diets-often in the least likely places. All that sugar can adversely affect the way we metabolize various foods. And if getting too many calories is what worries you, reaching for a Sprite Zero isn't the solution: Artificial sweeteners may be almost as bad for you as HFCS. In 2004, a study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that rats ate more after consuming an artificially sweetened drink than they did after sipping sugar water. Researchers speculate that calorie-free artificial sweeteners act like stomach teasers: As you swallow diet soda, your body anticipates the arrival of calories. When they don't show up, your body sends you looking elsewhere for them, often in a snack bowl. A 2005 study by researchers from the News@TownAndCountryGazette.com || SEPTEMBER 6, 2018

University of Texas found that people who drank a can of diet soda per day had a 37 percent greater incidence of obesity. And because artificial sweeteners are often many times sweeter than sugar, stirring a teaspoonful into your daily cup of joe may mean that when you do use real sugar, it just doesn't taste sweet enough for you, sending you grabbing extra sugar packets. Stopping the Domino Effect Here comes the hard-to-swallow truth: The only way to curb a sugar habit is to cut back drastically. It will be rough in the beginning, but your body will crave sugar less as it regains its insulin sensitivity. In order to extract your sweet tooth, you first need to know how much sugar you're actually

eating. There are plenty of hidden sources of sugar and, as Connie Bennett reports in her book, Sugar Shock!, more than 100 names for sweeteners. Take note of sugar's pseudonyms and look for red-flag ingredients like dextrose rice syrup, and cane juice. Read labels for a week and jot down how much sugar you're taking in--you'll probably find that it far exceeds the approximately 10 percent of your daily caloric intake the federal dietary guidelines recommend (that's about 20 grams, or five teaspoons, per 1,000 calories consumed). You'll also realize that many products touted as healthy are still high in sugar. There are no laws Continued on page 34

regulating the use of the words "all natural" on food packaging, so manufacturers can label their products with abandon. "'All natural' is a really misleading term, and it does not necessarily imply that a product is low in sugar," Bennett says. Even if sweeteners do come from all-natural ingredients, they can be highly concentrated, as they are in dried fruit. One ounce of dried pineapple has about 21 grams of sugar, compared with 2.6 grams for the same amount of fresh pineapple. So watch your portions of trail mix. Once you know how much sugar you're really eating, you can control your intake. Here are the pros' tips for cracking down on the most seductive tabletop substance known to man: Eat breakfast "Ninety percent of sugar addicts skip breakfast," says Kathleen DesMaisons, Ph.D., author of Potatoes Not Prozac. "They wait and get a big hit of sugar at 10 a.m." When you eat breakfast, you prevent the drop in blood sugar that makes you crave sugar later. Pick fruit Satisfy your sweet tooth with apples, bananas, and berries, which temper natural sugar with fiber and loads of antioxidants, says Elisa Zied, M.S., R.D., a spokesperson for the American Dietetic

Association and the author of Feed Your Family Right! Dried fruit and 100 percent fruit juices will also do in a pinch, but they don't have nearly as much fiber and are more concentrated sources of calories, Zied says, so limit yourself to a quarter cup or less of dried fruit or one cup of 100 percent juice a day. Think 100 When you simply must have a cupcake or a candy bar, stick to 100- to 150-calorie portions and 16 grams of sugar or less. Indulge right after dinner Late-night ice cream fixes give you a pure, unadulterated sugar rush. Have a small scoop soon after dinner instead and you'll reduce (though not counter) the insulinspiking effect, DesMaisons says. Cut out "overt" sugars Tackle the worst offenders first: sucrose-laden treats like candy, frappuccinos, ice cream, and soft drinks. If you drink a soda every day, try having one every other day, then once a week, then not at all. Enter sugar rehab Like any addict, you need to detox before you can fully recover. According to DesMaisons, it takes five days to fully overcome your cravings for sugar, and you'll feel awful for three of them. Prepare to be edgy and irritable starting on day two; by day five, you'll feel like a whole new person. After you've recovered, you'll find that a little sugar goes a much longer way.

WANTED - Individuals Interested in Preserving local history For future generations! No experience necessary

The Walnutport Canal Association is in need of volunteers! The Lehigh Canal, which runs through Walnutport, was completed in 1829. The main purpose was to transport coal from the coal mines in northeastern Pennsylvania and bring various goods back to our area from the ports of Philadelphia and New York. The Walnutport Canal Association maintains the area in and around the canal. Please plan on attending one of our monthly meetings to learn about volunteer opportunities. Our association meets the third Wednesday of each month at 7 PM at the Walnutport Borough Municipal Building located at 417 Lincoln Avenue in Walnutport. If you would like more information before you attend our meetings call Jeanne at 610-767-8703 or visit us on FaceBook at https://www.facebook.com/official. walnutportcanalassociation or email us at wca1@ ptd.net. Volunteering for the WCA doesn’t need to require a lot of time or effort. Our volunteers utilize their God given talents to make our WCA one of the greatest non-profit organizations in our area. Once you join you will be proud to tell others that you are a member of such a wonderful group of individuals. We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting; however, if you are unable to attend a meeting your time can be spent in other ways. For example, we always need volunteers for our annual spring cleanup and at our annual canal festival, which will be held this year on Sunday, October 21, 2018.

Overcome By Life’s Challenges?

Declutter Your ‘Emotional Closet’ In 3 Easy Steps! The way you face your challenges – both large and small – can either lead you to true happiness or block you from ever attaining it. “It is sometimes difficult to surmount life’s challenges with a hidden build-up of emotional baggage in our way,” says Sheri D. Engler, author of The Pearls of Wisdom: A Fairy Tale Guide to Life’s Magic Secrets for All Ages (www. thepearlsofwisdombook.com). Engler, who has a background in psychology, counseling and research, says “We take time to go

through our clothes closets and toss out what is outdated or no longer fits—but do we do that with our emotions? Clearing out your emotional closet will likely improve all aspects of your life. But more importantly, it’ll offer you the opportunity to discover your present self, which is frequently lost in the shadowy maze of your past self’s memories and experiences”. In her work as an intuitive/life-coach, Engler says she sees encouraging success with her simple 3-step technique, which she designed to bring change through mere mindfulness and common sense. She says,“It’s a matter of being conscious of the critical difference between who you’ve been and who you are now. Without the extra baggage of outdated beliefs, you can move more easily through the open door of who you want to be, who you were meant to be. This technique is easy. It’s like shampooing your psyche—wash, rinse, repeat.” The 3 steps are as follows: Step 1) The Self Quiz - Write down on separate slips of paper the emotional issues you’d like to overcome, particularly targeting experiences you

feel have damaged you. Note when it first began and the undesirable conditions that developed as a result. Lay out all the slips on a table with a wastebasket nearby. Read one issue at a time, and then ask yourself these questions: “Does this past experience have anything to do with the person I am now? Does it truly still bother me? Is it possible I overcame this long ago, or do I need to keep carrying it with me? Am I okay right now and going forward?” Chances are strong that you will answer: “I’m not that person anymore. I’ve already gotten over that, and I see now that it’s not worth holding onto.” At this point, you joyfully wad up that outdated version of yourself, shoot it into the wastebasket and go to the next paper and repeat the process until the table is clear. It's then that you realize that you need to update your emotional operating system at least as often your phone’s! It’s a simple matter of mindfulness. By asking yourself the right questions, you can proactively change the course of your life through the, sometimes eye-opening, answers you get. This brings us to the next step. Step 2) Create Your F.A.T.E. – Engler says, “In order to effect true change in your life, I suggest using the quantum law of attraction. In The Pearls of Wisdom, the angel’s note says, ‘When spirit joins with heart, mind, and body—as One and of One—

only then shall you truly see that ALL things are a possibility.’ It’s easiest to remember this magical secret by using the acronym ‘F.A.T.E.’ To manifest whatever you desire in your life, the simple key is to align your Feelings, Actions, and Thoughts to create your desired Experience. To put it even simpler, if you can pretend to the extent that every part of you believes that your wish has already happened, then the quantum field of manifestation will match that state and make it so. Ultimately, the universe cannot decide things for you, it can only give you more of what you already believe to be true. So, choose your feelings, thoughts, and actions Continued on page 48

consciously—and by law of the Universe—it will appear like Magic!” Moving on, after you have become conscious of your current feelings and decluttered your emotional closet; and after you’ve become mindful of what you truly want in your life and understand how to “create your fate”, you are then ready for your final step.

never look back. Engler says,“When you look back, you re-engage your past self and abandon your freshly de-cluttered present self… To anchor your positive life changes, you must try to stay in gratitude by focusing upon that which is good about yourself, about others, and about your life overall. Like attracts like. Whatever you project is what the Universe will assume you have chosen for yourself, and it will give you more of the same. So stay mindful of who you are and the choices you make, and you’ll give both the Universe and yourself something to smile about!” About Sheri D. Engler Sheri D. Engler is the author/illustrator of The Pearls of Wisdom: A Fairy Tale Guide to Life’s Magic Secrets for All Ages (www.ThePearlsOfWisdomBook. com).

Sean Boyle Receives the LCCC Collegiate Award of Distinction Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) has named Sean A. Boyle, president of Boyle Construction, Inc., as the 2018 recipient of the Collegiate Award of Distinction, which is determined each year by the college’s Board of Trustees.

The LCCC Board of Trustees selects the Collegiate Award of Distinction to recognize a person or organization for unique contributions to the community, service and dedication in support of education, and to honor those who have demonstrated their commitment to the college and its students. “Sean demonstrates every day the impact an individual can make on his community,” says LCCC president Dr. Ann D.

Some Obvious And Not-So-Obvious Diet Tips To Keep Your Teeth Healthy submitted by Ashley Pontius

You brush three times a day.You floss each night. But then, admit it, you down a soda or you snack on a candy bar, undoing all that hard work and exposing your teeth to long-lasting harm. Because when it comes to oral health, the No. 1 thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums strong is to watch what you eat. “It’s more important than brushing; it’s more important than fluoride,” says Dr. Steven Freeman, a dentist and author of the book Why Your Teeth

Might Be Killing You (www.elitesmilesdentistry. com). “It’s even more important than visiting the dentist.” The reason: Almost all the problems that occur in the mouth are the result of bacteria, Freeman says. Bacteria causes cavities as well as gum disease, and the main food source for bacteria also happens to be prevalent in just about everything we consume, from bread, to sauces to energy drinks. That would be sugar. “It’s difficult to avoid sugar, but you need to stay away from it as much as possible,” Freeman says. Here’s what he does recommend your diet include so that your smile stays healthy and bright. Some of these may not be surprising. At least one might be: Vegetables. The hard, leafy greens and broccoli may be difficult to chew, but they are jam packed with vitamins and minerals that can help you maintain healthy teeth and gums.“As a bonus, they also help clean your teeth while you are chewing them,” Freeman says.

Salmon is useful for oral health because it contains vitamin D, which improves calcium absorption.“I know some people are against dairy in their diet, but the calcium in dairy products is essential to maintain strong teeth and bones that support the teeth,” Freeman says.
