2A Daily News – Friday, August 23, 2013 Community people&events Eat less; extend your life There is no more sought-after dream than that of eternal life. Since Ponce de Leon set foot in the new world — and well before that — we have been seeking the fountain of youth, the ability to live longer in good health. "We're so close to adding another 20 to 50 years to the human lifespan, that not only are we in the neighborhood, we're on the block; we're just looking Scott for the right door," I was recently informed. The key to the house remains hidden. For yeast, flies, and rodents however, it's time to party! Scientists have long known that dramatically cutting calories extends their lives. (Who knew that yeast even ate?) Alas, since we do not cavort among baking additives, we have been left out of such advances. Yet, there is hope. In a recent report, it was discovered that rhesus monkeys, arguably more our kin than yeast, that have been put on a low-calorie diet live longer and healthier lives. Researchers divided 38 monkeys into two groups. One group was put on a diet with 30 percent fewer calories than the other. After two decades, five of the monkeys on the restricted diet had died of normal age-related causes, compared with 14 monkeys on the normal diet. Beyond that, the monkeys on the restricted diet were healthier over- all, with no diabetes, and fewer cases of cancer or cardiovascular disease. "The monkeys on a normal diet also looked visibly older, their eyes more sunken in and their coats thinner and posture cramped when compared with their dieting counterparts," according to Ricki J. Colman, lead author of the paper. It is assumed that since monkeys and humans are Q. genetic cousins, such diets might slow aging in people, too. However, due to the long lifespan of people and the rigors of the diet, studies of calorie restriction in humans are ongoing and have yet to show that people live longer. Nonetheless, thousands of individuals now follow calorie restriction diets, hoping to discover what de Leon did not. In the interest of understanding what life would be like on a calorierestricted diet, I did some research and found a typical "day in the life." Here, soup to nuts, is the purported menu required for a longer time on this planet. Breakfast: one cup non-fat cottage cheese, 23 nuts, one cup berries, one nutrition bar Lunch: five ounces skinless chicken breast (boiled, baked or roasted), broccoli, cauliflower, one tablespoon olive oil, one medium orange Meal preparation: Cook chicken.

SECRET WITNESS 529-1268 A program of Tehama County Neighborhood Watch Program, Inc. liflower. Add olive oil and herbs and spices. Have orange for dessert. Snack: one cup non-fat yogurt, six nuts (Whoa! Don't eat them all in one bite!) Dinner: Two cups green, leafy salad (may include lettuce, cabbage, spinach), three ounce salmon filet (canned low-salt or freshbaked), seven ounce sweet potato (baked), one tablespoon olive oil, herbs and spices, one tablespoon vinegar Meal preparation: Sprinkle vinegar, herbs, spices and half of olive oil over salad and salmon. Sprinkle remaining olive oil over sweet potato; have potato for dessert. There you have it, the bill of fare to achieve a longer life. Don't get me wrong; I plan on hanging out on Mother Earth for many a decade. However, if a sweet potato smattered with a few drops of oil for dessert is the price to live to 125, I'm not quite sure it's worth it. Maybe I could have a chocolate bar once in awhile and make it to 120. Scott "Q" Marcus is a motivational productivity expert and weight loss speaker.

Members of the local chamber of commerce and city trustees are said to be favorable to the idea of establishing a campground just south of the swimming pool and facing the Sacramento river from the west side, which they regard as a particularly attractive spot for such a purpose and one that would prove mighty popular with tourists. — Aug. 23, 1923 Medical coding basics For any medical coding or billing professionals preparing for the mandatory transition and implementation of ICD-10-CM on October 2014, Shasta College EWD is offering classes in Medical Coding Basics (ICD-10-CM and ICD-10PCS).
