Any nutrition tips? Thanks, Worried. Recent studies conducted under the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found that a long-term 25-30% reduction in caloric intake may increase longevity. These findings are still in the preliminary stages and cannot be considered as final recommendations. On another promising track, research at John Hopkins may suggest a link between particular enzyme activity and gene "control," which could lead to new strategies for slowing aging. But what about the here and now, you ask? Here are some solid nutri- tional tips: /• Don't smoke (at all) or drink alcohol excessively; • Eat fresh: vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains; Reduce saturated fats and elimi- • nate trans fats from your diet; • Eat non-saturated fats like those found in cold-water fish, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. Consult your doctor before making changes to your diet. — Barbara Beznos, Registered Dietitian Key JN Phone Numbers: Direct Your Otte -tion- For Barb And Counseling Inquiries To: _ Switchboard: (248) 354-6060 General News: (248) 351-5144 Business News: (248) 351-5148 Arts News: (248) 351-5142 Circulation: (248) 351-5174 Retail Ads: (248) 351-5151 Classified Ads: (248) 351-5100 Integrated.
