pers their heat. The capsaicin content is greater in
the hot peppers than the bell peppers. It is affected

Tips On Starting A More Nutritious Lifestyle
(NAPS)--A growing num-
ber of men are enjoying a
lifestyle that focuses on a
diet built around nutritious,
whole foods. Here are some
tips to help you get started.
Go with fresh vegeta-
bles when possible. They
tend to be full of vitamins
and low in calories. As a
bonus, they can help you
meet your daily fiber target.
Keep your alcohol in-
take moderate. Too much
alcohol can mean added sugar
and filling your liver with tox-
ins. For men, limit your
intake to two drinks a day.
Make your grains
whole grains. Eating three
or more servings of whole
grains each day can help
you achieve a healthy diet.
Also, when possible, choose
brown rice over white rice.
Try eating five to six
small meals throughout
the day. This helps to pre-
vent you from skipping meals
and overeating. It also sup-
ports steady energy levels.
Many find the best way to do
this is with three main meals
Men who are following a
more nutritious lifestyle need
to snack smart. That means
finding foods that are tasty,
nutritious and convenient.
and three substantial snacks.
Don't forget exercise
and rest. According to the
Centers for Disease Control,
adults ages 18 and over
(including older adults) need
at least 2 hours of moder-
ate aerobic activity each week
and muscle-strengthening
exercises twice a week.
Quality sleep--seven to
eight hours a night for
adults---is also important. It
aids in the ability to process
information, restore your
body's strength and repair
muscles.
Snack smart. Don't
overlook convenience as a
factor when it comes to con-
structing a healthy diet.
Foods or products that con-
tribute the nutrients needed
and are easy and enjoyable
to consume have a'better
chance of being part of a
man's diet over the long haul.
For example, there is a
line of food bars called
Lti, RABAR made with
"whole food" in~zredients such
as nuts and dried fruit and
seasoned with spices. The
Original Fruit & Nut BarTM
contains no more than nine
ingredients and no trans fats
or preservatives. The ingre-
dients in the "Apple Pie" bar
consist of dates, almonds,
unsweetened apples, wal-
nuts, raisins and cinnamon.
Plus, the bars come in a
wide variety of flavors---from
Blueberry Muffin to Peanut
Butter Cookie or Chocolate
Coconut Chew to Key Lime
Pie--so there is something
to satisfy just about any taste.

Outwit The Squirrels
(NAPS)--Bird feeding can
be a fulfilling hobby, if you
know how to outsmart a
clever squirrel who's eating
your birdseed. These tips can
help:
1) Baffles: Install baffles,
at least 15 inches wide and
sloped, between the top of
the feeder and its hanger on
a hanging feeder or between
the ground and the feeder for
feeders on posts.
2) Spinners: String spin-
ners on a horizontal line.

To keep squirrels out of your
bird feeder, remove debris
and spilled seed from the
ground around the feeder
that could be attrecting the~
3) Location: Mount bird
feeders on a smooth metal
pole at least six feet high and
prune any branches within
a 12-foot radius.
4) Feeders:
* Metal Feeders help min-
indze the damage from hun-
gry squirrels.
* W~re Cages placed aroond
a b'Lrd feeder will keep squir-
rels out and allow smaller
birds to continue feeding but
prevent larger birds from
accessing the feeder.
Slammer Feeders de-
signed with doors triggered
by a large bird's or squirrel's
weight close and hamper
access to seed.
* Interactive Bird Feeders
such as the Squirrel Boss Bird
Feeder. This humane and
effective squirrel-proof bird
feeder has a remote control
operated by you from inside
your home that gives the
squirrel a harmless static
shock corre~on that "tingles~
but doesn't hurt the squirrel
in any way. For more infor-
mation, visit www.squirrel
boss.corn or call (888) 476-
9499.
5) Seed: Squirrels are less
enticed by nyger, m/Bet, saf-
flower, canary and canola
seeds. Adding capsaicin to
birdseed can also deter
squirrels.
