It’s Good to be Green! I thought I would take this opportunity to tell you a little about the company that prints our magazine. They have always used non-toxic soy based vegetable ink but now they are now FSC certiﬁed. FSC is the Forest Stewardship Council and is widely regarded as one of the most important initiative of the last decade to promote responsible forest management. Our printer has always been conscious of utilizing products and procedures that would not harm the environment, and now they are using FSC certiﬁed paper. Perhaps you’ve noticed our new paper; not only is this paper better for the environment, but it delivers the high quality color and sharpness our reader’s have come to expect from us, without added burden to our environment. As printing costs and postage continues to go up - we still go in the mailbox, and we mail 65,000 issues each month. We haven’t raised our prices in nearly 4 years and changing our paper also helps to keep our pricing competitive and small business friendly.

HEALTH

TIMELY FEATURE

Health Tips For The New You Year after year we make resolutions to exercise regularly, eat well, and give up smoking and other bad habits. Following such basic rules can cut heart disease risk by 80 percent, diabetes risk by 90 percent and cancer risk by 50 percent. At the end, tell us which tip you think is the most useful. Wear a pedometer: New research suggests that routinely wearing a pedometer encourages people to walk about an extra mile each day, lose weight, and lower their blood pressure. Aim for at least 30 minutes of brisk walking and a total of 10,000 steps per day. Don’t pop too many vitamins: Enthusiasm for vitamin pills is high, but evidence for their beneﬁts is low. Try to get vitamins from foods and consider a multivitamin for insurance. Any woman thinking about getting pregnant should make sure to take a folic acid supplement. Women should get at least 1,000 mgs

of calcium per day (1,200 mgs/day if you’re past menopause) from food and/ or supplements. Everyone should also get 800 international units of Vitamin D per day - more than the federal “Recommended Daily Allowance.” Eat at least two fish meals per week: The evidence is strong that the oils in darker types of fish, such as salmon, tuna, mackerel and herring, are beneficial for the heart and brain and may even lower risk of cancer. Talk to your doctor about taking aspirin: But don’t assume that it’s right for you. A recent clinical trial suggested that healthy women younger than age 65 don’t get heart protection from aspirin. Women who are the best candidates for long-term aspirin are age 65 or older or have a history of cardiovascular disease or diabetes. And be aware that aspirin has some serious risks, including gastrointestinal bleeding. Drink water: No matter where you are, water should always be the first thing you reach for when you’re thirsty. Water truly is essential. Sleep 8 hours a night: A number of recent studies have confirmed that you really do need at least 8 hours a night.

Among the many beneﬁts: Adequate sleep makes you feel better, decreases risk for cardiovascular disease, boosts memory and reduces the likelihood of being in a car accident. Keep sugar and caffeine - the “legal evils” - to a minimum: It’s hard to believe, but decreasing sugar actually increases people’s energy, by minimizing the highs and lows that sweet foods triggers. Different people react differently to caffeine, but most of us are probably overstimulated already - adding a stimulant just adds to things like road rage. If you smoke, quit: There is nothing good about it. If you’re having trouble quitting, start smoking less today - smoke only half a cigarette, and skip as many of your usual smokes as you can - and get help right away. Get some guidance about why it is you smoke to ﬁgure out how best to stop doing it. Hypnotherapy may also be useful. Eating won’t solve emotional problems: Many people eat to make themselves feel better when they’re upset. It works in the short run; certain foods can temporarily boost mood. But in the long run, you’ll have the same emotional problems - plus the extra weight. For more info visit www.boston.com

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

neat part about this is it doesn’t require bricks, pavers, or tiles, it is all created out of concrete with stamps and custom colors. That means you can take the colors of your house and match them to your sidewalks and driveway. How cool is that?

The Art of Concrete Well, it is that time of year again! Cupid has his bow drawn and the City if ﬁlled with red roses and shiny balloons. What a perfect time to look in on a local business that can bring a new life to your home overnight.

I think the part I liked best was the indoor possibilities. You can finally get rid of that boring old carpet and replace it with custom designed concrete. With the influence of Tuscany in today’s décor, wouldn’t it be great to have your floors look like that of Europe? Or, that family room that gets all that wear and tear can be versatile and beautiful at the same time. Manuel is an artist and has a wonderful eye for color and design. And, it is all custom to your home, so it is exclusive to you.

Manuel Iglesias Concrete has been in business for 35 years and is considered one of the best in the industry. This is not your normal gray concrete guy; he is the master at quality custom art! I visited their website at www. manueliglesiasconcrete.com to ﬁnd great pictures of some of the work they have done. I was amazed at the different samples of texture, color and design that could be done with concrete. Now I know how those restaurants get that Italian slate and vintage look in their ﬂoors.

They do commercial and residential including patios, walkways, retaining walls, foundations, steps, stamped concrete, stamped overlayment, pavers, concrete staining & sealing, ﬂagstone, block and brick. And, they are offering discounts of about 20%. Now we are talking! After all, with the economy in a slump, who doesn’t want to save money? And, my friends in the real estate business are telling me that people are staying in their homes and investing in upgrades

Imagine turning your boring driveway and walkways into beautiful tile squares with sandstone and walnut colors. This is the kind of stuff you see in those gated communities with big custom homes. The

to put on a bright new look. With help from Manuel, you can begin to create a whole new home from the outside in. I recommend that you grab a cup of coffee during this incredible weather and take a sketch pad with you outside to take a look at the areas in your yard that could use a little tune-up before you bring in those wonderful spring ﬂowers. Even if it is just the front porch, you can turn your gray concrete into a grand entrance. And, that area around the pool can be enhanced with a simple stamped overlayment. I know this because we have it in our home and it completely changed the look and now compliments the entire house. And, the best part is, it washes off with the hose in seconds. So Manuel, this snoop is a big fan and welcomes everyone to give you a call so you can help them create their own paradise. The Monthly Grapevine gives Manuel Iglesias Concrete ﬁve golden bricks for your expert, quality workmanship and devotion to getting the job done on time for a reasonable amount of investment. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS...

BUCKLE UP! One of the most important, immediate actions we can take as a nation to protect children and adults in motor vehicles is high-visibility enforcement of seat belt and child passenger safety laws. The American public knows they should buckle up. Despite this awareness, research shows that many are not taking the necessary steps to protect themselves and their children on every ride. We know that enforcing the law is the most effective way to change this behavior. That is why the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Air Bag & Seat Belt Safety Campaign launch the Click It or Ticket Mobilization, a high visibility enforcement campaign that targets motorists who fail to buckle themselves and their children. 20
