Family Summer Fun

Continued on Pa


4/19

(Family Features) This year for Father's Day, skip the tacky tieand give dad something he truly wants–quality time with the kidswho gave him such an honorable title. Plan an intimate familygathering with all his favorite foods and a few special touches thatreflect his other passions in life, such as golf.

Let dad savor some grilled goodness (and a healthy dose of antioxidants) with colorful fruit and veggie kabobs. Healthy,hydrating watermelon is the star ingredient of these colorful

skewers, which also include marinated chunks of pork.Add a low-calorie, fat-free side by serving watermelon balls in a

fun golf ball-shaped vessel carved from a watermelon rind.For more recipes and carving ideas using versatile watermelon,

visit www.watermelon.org.

Pork and Watermelon KabobsServings: 8

Ingredients...• 6 tablespoons brown sugar• 6 tablespoons soy sauce• 6 tablespoons diced red onion• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 3 tablespoons lemon juice• 1 tablespoon olive oil• 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme• Pepper to taste• 1 pound boned, lean pork chop, cut into 1-inch cubes

(approximately 38-40 pieces)• 32 cubes watermelon (1 inch each), plus extra for garnish if

desired• 16-24 zucchini rounds (1/2 inch)• 16 pineapple chunks, fresh or canned (1 inch each)• 24 yellow or orange peppers chunks (1 inch each,

approximately 3-4 peppers total)• Cooking spray• Sesame seeds for garnish

Directions...1.) Combine sugar, soy sauce, onion, garlic, lemon juice, olive

oil, thyme and pepper in mixing bowl. Pour into resealable bag andadd pork pieces. Seal bag, mix thoroughly and refrigerate for at least1 hour, turning bag periodically.

2.) Remove pork from bag and reserve marinade. Thread 5 pork pieces, 4 watermelon cubes, 2-3 zucchini rounds, 2 pineapplechunks and 3 peppers on each of 8 skewers, alternating the order.

3.) Spray cooking surface on heated grill and place kebobs ongrill. Grill for 12-15 minutes, or until done, turning and bastingfrequently with reserved marinade. Garnish with sesame seeds andchunks of watermelon.

Golf Ball Serving Bowl1.) Wash watermelon under cool running water and pat dry.2.) On cutting board, place watermelon on side and cut off 1/4-

inch to 1/2-inch from stem end, being careful not to cut too deepinto white part of rind. This will provide sturdy base.

3.) Using paring knife, cut a 3- to 4-inch round circle in top of watermelon.

4.) Use melon baller to make shallow round divots into rind of watermelon to mimic dimples in golf ball. Next, use kitchen knifeto peel thin layers of rind off to expose white underneath, beingcareful not to cut too deep or red flesh will be exposed. Try to getas much of green rind off so it will resemble a white golf ball.

5.) Hollow out watermelon with spoon or scoop. Place on trayand add watermelon balls to serve.

(Family Features) Did you know milk is oneof the most nutrient-rich beverages you canfind? And that there are thousands of studies thathave documented the benefits of drinking milk?That's why nutrition experts recommend adultsdrink 3 servings of milk and milk products aday. Yet, most Americans fall short of theUSDA's recommended daily servings. So,

before you think about skipping your milk, hereare five reasons to grab a glass.

1.) It's a Nutrient Powerhouse. No matteryour age, it's hard to get the nutrients you needwithout milk in your diet. Milk is the top foodsource for three out of four "nutrients of concern"–nutrients Americans are mostlacking–including calcium, vitamin D andpotassium. All milk - fat free, lowfat or organic- has 9 essential nutrients, including B vitaminsfor energy, vitamin A for a healthy immunesystem plus several bone-building nutrients.

2. It Ups the Protein Ante in the Morning.While many experts now recommend 25-30

grams of protein at each meal, the averagebreakfast plate only contains 13 grams. One wayto help close the gap is to add an 8-ounce glassof milk to your eggs or Greek yogurt–that adds an extra 8 grams of high-quality protein!

3.) Protein Power for Your Dollar. Milk is one of the best proteinbargains for your dollar. For about 25 cents per glass, milk packs 8grams of protein in every 8-ounce glass. This calculates to around

32 grams of high-quality protein per dollar. That's a big protein bfor your buck.

4.) It is Not Easily Replaced. It's hard to get the nutrients need without real dairy milk in your diet. The truth is, not all ndairy milks have the same nutrients as real milk so it's importaknow what you are getting in each glass. For instance, dairy milk8 times the protein of almond milk and rice milks, which can cona long list of ingredients, including added sugar, salt and thicken

5.) It's Wholesome, Real and Local. Milk is one of the origfarm-to-table foods. Did you know 97 percent of dairy farmsstill family-owned and operated? Little handling is done from f

to fridge–and that's why you can trust the milk you buy at the sis safe and wholesome.This quinoa oatmeal serves up 13 grams of protein. Pair wit

8-ounce glass of milk to get 21 grams of protein power to start yday. Visit MilkLife.com for more recipes.

Nutty Blueberry Quinoa OatmealServings: 1

Ingredients:• 2/3 cup lowfat milk • 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats• 1/4 cup cooked quinoa• 1/4 cup blueberries

• 1 teaspoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice• 2 tablespoons pecan pieces• 2-3 dashes cinnamon

Directions:1.) Combine milk and oats and cook according to pack

instructions to desired creaminess.2.) Stir in quinoa, blueberries, maple syrup, pecans and cinna

and serve hot.

(Family Features) If you're likemany Americans, when it comes toyour regular healthcare regimen, youreyes get overlooked. In fact, you mayonly pay attention to your eye healthwhen something goes wrong.Actually, preventive and routine eye

care should be a top priority."Too many people fail to grasp thevalue of routine vision care, onlyseeking treatment for eye-relatedproblems after they occur," saidStephen Shawler, president of EssilorVision Foundation. "Although 80percent of vision problems arepreventable, we still have significantwork to do to prevent vision problemsbefore they start."

Impact of poor vision

Clear vision is a crucial tool inexperiencing life to its fullestpotential, but according to Essilor, anestimated 2.5 billion peopleworldwide see poorly and don'tpossess adequate access to visioncorrection.

From an economic perspective, theVision Impact Institute (VII) estimates as much as $745 millionin productivity is lost every single day as a result of uncorrectedvision problems in 33 percent of the world's working population.

Extensive social consequences are also a risk. According tothe VII, some 30 percent of the world's children experience vision

problems that have a significant impact on their long-term health,school performance and emotional/social development. Giventhat 80 percent of children's learning is through visualinformation processing, poor vision can hinder not only theiracademic performance, but also how they interact with peers andintegrate into society.

Beyond the economic and social consequences, ignoring eyehealth can also have disastrous outcomes in other areas. Forexample, elderly individuals with poor vision are seven timesmore at risk for falls and hip fractures, and poor sight is linked to59 percent of road accidents.

Eye health by the numbersFrom a medical standpoint, eye exams do more than cor

vision problems. They also can help detect conditions sucdiabetic retinopathy, multiple sclerosis, strokes, hypertensioneye tumors.

To minimize the risks associated with poor eye sight achieve better sight for better life, the experts at Essrecommend knowing the numbers that add up to healthy eye

1: Adults should have a comprehensive eye exam every yFor kids, don't settle for the vision screenings at school; scheda comprehensive annual eye exam with an eye doctor.

3: If you wear contact lenses, prevent the risk of bacteria infection by replacing your lens storage case once every thmonths.

20: Staring at a computer monitor for too long can fatigueeyes, leading to painful side effects like dry eyes and eheadaches. Every 20 minutes, look away for about 20 seconda space 20 feet away from you. This simple trick can reducestrain and help you safely refocus.

25: Age-related macular degeneration is a serious condition that affects the elderly, causing visual impairmdamage to the retina and even blindness. Taking high levelzinc in addition to antioxidant vitamins can reduce your riskup to 25 percent.

90: When selecting sunglasses, find a pair that not only bloout invisible ultraviolet light, but also blocks up to 90 percenvisible light, as well.

(Family Features) Creating a perfect outdoor oasis - the first steptoward a summer filled with carefree entertaining - requires carefulplanning for the entire space. While the arrival of spring is the perfecttime to start thinking about landscape elements, don't overlook the finerdetails, such as the furniture and accessories, that truly bring an outdoorspace to life.

Whether you're looking to create a family-friendly space forentertaining, a serene poolside retreat or a secret garden that showcasesyour green thumb, begin by defining your vision. Having a clear ideaof how your finished space will look and feel will help you make thebest decisions as you begin designing the retreat of your dreams.

Furniture that fitsAlthough tastes and trends may change from one season to the next,

selecting the right furniture pieces from the start will let you bring freshnew looks to your outdoor space in other ways.

Sectional seating is an attractive option because it allows you toredefine your space in minutes. Hosting a party? Strategically placedsectional seating can open up your space and encourage an evening of

mingling. Prefer a more intimate arrangement for poolsideconversations or a date-night in? The sectional can be rearranged intoa closer configuration.

Look for a versatile collection in neutral colors, such as Pier 1Imports' Echo Beach collection. This sectional can be arranged in morethan 20 different ways, allowing you to arrange and rearrange to yourheart's content.

To round out your furniture, consider the highly functional but oftenunderrated garden stool. Place one in a quiet corner for meditativemoments, pair them to create a one-of-a-kind coffee table, or pull oneup when you need an extra seat. As an added bonus, when coolerweather returns, you can pull your garden stool indoors for a sweetreminder of summer.

Investing in the right pieces will save you time and money in thelong run. When you're ready for a new look, you can easily change thefeel of your patio with accessories or a new brightly colored accentpiece, such as a tiled bistro table or outdoor Papasan chair.

Accent your styleOnce your furniture is in place, you've got a blank slate to play with

and most importantly, to accessorize! Accessorizing is where thedecorating happens and your personal style shines through.

Add pillows, cushions, umbrellas, outdoor rugs and even outdoorcurtains to your space, and what started as a dull patio will begin totransform into an extension of your home. To mix patterns like a pro,choose pillows and rugs in the same color family, vary the scale of your patterns and introduce textures to ensure that they don't compete

with each other.Be sure to layer in treasures that are uniquely you - lanterns, walldecor, statues and windchimes - to establish a space bursting withpersonality.

Remember, small changes can make a big impact. Refresh lastyear's patterns with the new trends, or simply add a few newaccessories into your existing decor for a budget-friendly way to satisfyyour urge to update.

Summer EntertainingOnce your beautiful outdoor space is complete, you'll undoubtedly

be eager to showcase your hard work. Make entertaining a breeze with

these tips from the experts at Pier 1 Imports:

(Family Features) If you recently committedto managing your weight or dieting, it may betime to change your approach. For long-termresults, ditch fad dieting and adopt a balancedapproach to eating with a focus on healthy foods.

Being healthy isn't just about fitting intoskinny jeans. According to a recent nationalsurvey, there are many reasons why womenconsider dieting: 68 percent want to improvetheir health, 51 percent want to look their best,and 39 percent want to have more energy.

With these goals in mind, it may not come asa surprise that survey participants reported beingon an average of nine diets in their lifetimes. Infact, 76 percent of American women who havedieted admit to having tried a fad diet.

However, nearly two out of three womenbelieve fad diets are difficult to maintain. What'smore, these diets may even be unhealthy,according to the Weight-control InformationNetwork (WIN).

Some fad diets fail to provide your body with

the nutrients your body needs. In addition,sustained rapid weight loss can increase yourrisk of gallbladder problems, and heart problems can result fromconsuming too few calories for too long.

To maintain a healthy weight and healthier lifestyle, the expertsat WIN suggest focusing on establishing these healthy habits:

• Choose healthy foods, with a diet rich in fruits and veggies.• Manage calorie intake and portion size. Keep on track by using

a smaller plate, paying close attention to nutrition labels andweighing portions on a scale.

• Make exercise part of your daily life. Even activities such asgardening or taking the stairs can make a difference.

Managing your metabolism–how your body uses calories–isanother key to healthy eating. Eating foods that deliver plenty of

protein and fiber are all keys to maximizing your metabolism.When it comes to healthy food, look for wholesome, nutritious

options, even when you snack. For example, new Great GrainsGranolas and The Bar Undone snack mixes are the first non-cerealGreat Grains offerings. Made with less processed ingredients formore wholesome nutrition in every handful, each serving of GreatGrains The Bar Undone snack mix has at least 8 grams of proteinand 4 grams of fiber. One half-cup serving of new Great GrainsGranola contains at least 26 grams of whole grains.

"At Great Grains, we believe when it comes to healthy eating,the secret is, there is no secret," said Mangala D'Sa, Senior Director

of Marketing for Post Foods. "A fad-free diet, complete wholesome, nutritious foods is key to healthy eating."

A balanced approach to eating, coupled with a few lifeschanges, are all the tools you need to succeed on your weight conquest. For more smart eating tips and recipes, vwww.greatgrains.com.

(Family Features) Rising temperatures are a double-edgedsword for pet lovers. Warmer days create the perfect setting for arun through the park or a game of fetch. But these warm days alsoprovide an ideal environment for pests that can have a seriousimpact on your pet's health.

Tiny but mightyBoth fleas and ticks are small but dangerous. Fleas are ravenous

and can consume 15 times their own body weight in your pet'sblood. Aserious infestation can cause your pet to become anemic.It is common for pets to have sensitivity to flea saliva and just onebite can cause a severe allergicreaction, leading to painful andintense itching. Fleas alsotransmit a variety of diseasessuch as bartonella and typhus, aswell as tapeworms.

Female ticks can consumemore than 100 times their bodyweight in your dog's blood,which can lead to anemia. Theirbites may trigger allergicreactions, but even moredangerous are the diseases theycan transmit, such as Lymedisease and Rocky Mountainspotted fever, which can also betransmitted to humans.

Treat and prevent pestsThe best way to protect your

pet and your family is to manage exposure to pests and takepreventive measures to keep them at bay. New PetArmor Plus fordogs or cats contains fipronil, the No. 1 veterinarian-

recommended active ingredient,* and (s)-methoprene–the sameactive ingredients found in FRONTLINE Plus, but costs up to 40percent less than vet prices.**

Each monthly dose kills fleas, flea eggs, flea larvae, ticks andchewing lice. And because it is fast acting, long lasting and killseggs and larvae, it helps to stop the re-infestation cycle.

Protecting against infestationsWhen you see fleas or ticks on your pet, there is a good chance

that they are in your home as well. Simply treating your pet won'trid the problem entirely, because you risk re-infestation until pests

are fully eradicated.Household sprays, carpet powders and foggers kill fleas nes

in the home. Thoroughly vacuum and wash any carpetfurniture or linens, including beds and pillows that your pet have come into contact with.

Although you won't be able to control the outdoor environmas easily as the home, you should also treat your yard so that paren't reintroduced every time your dog or cat ventures outsPrevent fleas and ticks from jumping onto pets when outsidespraying the yard and treating around the home's foundatiokill any potential flea populations. In addition to using a pet-insect repellant, cut down tall brush and grasses near the houspet runs to reduce a pet's exposure to fleas and ticks.

How to Check for Fleas and TicksAdult ticks are often visible to the naked eye, so you may

able to spot them on short-haired pets. But with longer haired pit's best to do a thorough inspection with a fine-toothed comb

Signs your pet may have fleas can include flea dirt (small dflakes), excessive itching or scratching, redness and inflammathot spots and pale gums. You may also see adult fleas on ypet's coat and skin.

Follow this advice from the experts at PetArmor to find eliminate fleas and ticks on your pet:

1.) First, use a fine-toothed metal flea comb. Run the comalong your pet's back or underbelly, making sure the combcomes in contact with the skin.2.) If you pull out any fleas or ticks, immediately drown thin a nearby bowl of soapy water.3.) Have your pet stand on a white sheet or towel. Then bror rub your pet's coat. Small black specks on the white she

or towel are more than likely fleas or flea dirt. Flea dirt caalso look like sand.4.) Apply a monthly topical preventive treatment such asPetArmor Plus to keep pests from coming back.5.) Also be sure to treat your home and yard to prevent arecurrence.Choosing a preventive treatmentNo two pets are the same, so it's a good idea to consult w

your veterinarian before you begin a flea and tick prevenprogram. Some questions to keep in mind as you're determinthe best treatment for your pet include:

• Is a topical or oral treatment most appropriate for my pet• How costly is the treatment?

• Can I get the treatment from a retailer over the counter, oit available only through the veterinary office?• Does it kill eggs and larvae to prevent the re-infestationcycle?• How quickly does it begin working and how long will it l• Is it waterproof?• Is it safe for breeding, pregnant and lactating animals?*GFK 2014 Vet Recommended Flea and Tick ProductsSeptember 2014.**PetArmor(r) Plus is not manufactured or distributed by Me

(Family Features) As you age,your body goes through manychanges, including differences ineyesight which can negativelyaffect day-to-day activities.

You may have noticed thesedifferences while trying to readthe morning paper or gettingdressed for the day. While thischange - also known aspresbyopia - is normal (even forindividuals who have always hadperfect vision), it can disrupt thelives of those affected. Luckilythere are ways to make thesevision changes less noticeable andless impactful on daily life.

"It's important for people tounderstand that what happensbetween 40 and 50 years old to

our eyes up close is completelynormal," said Howard Purcell,O.D. and senior vice president of customer development for Essilorof America, the creators of Varilux lenses, the leadingprogressive lens solution forpresbyopia patients.

While presbyopia affects mostpeople over the age of 45, morethan half of those with it don'treceive adequate correction. Infact, it's estimated that by 2020,2.3 billion people will have this

condition and will require sometype of correction.

Understanding the eyesAccording to Dr. Purcell, understanding this typical anatomical

change in aging eyes is simple. The lens inside the eye needs tochange shape to allow focus on objects, whether they are near or far.This lens grows throughout human life; but around 40 years of age,it isn't as flexible as it was in younger years. This is around the timewhen the common issues associated with presbyopia begin to appear.

Dr. Purcell emphasizes the importance of routine eye exams, notonly to evaluate the condition of the eyes, but to ensure systemichealth is on point as well. Your optometrist can determine earlywarning signs of hypertension, diabetes and more - just by looking

at your eyes.

A progressive approachWhile many individuals with deteriorating eyesight turn to

bifocals for their vision needs, progressive lenses may be a bettersolution. Progressive lenses transition from distance vision to nearvision without the visible line associated with bifocal lenses. Theuse of high quality progressive lenses has been known to ease eyestrain and provide natural vision correction.

Many patients believe there is only one progressive lens productavailable, which is not the case. In fact, those who have triedprogressive lenses in the past without success should know that new,innovative options are available. Varilux progressive lenses, the firstever and still the leading progressive lens product and only provider

of W.A.V.E. Technology: Wavefront Advanced Vision Enhancemoffers the wearer sharpness of vision and smooth viewing transitat every distance.

It is important to speak to your doctor about your own indivivisual needs, and it is equally vital to know you have a choice inlenses you wear every day. For more information about presbyand Varilux lenses, visit www.varilux.com.

(Family Features) From bath time to bedtime, there are a numberof rituals parents participate in with their children that bring themcloser together. These small acts provide a sense of security to littleones and serve as family bonding time. However, many parents donot realize these everyday moments can be more impactful than theyseem.

A recent JOHNSON'S Global Bath Time Report, found that 84percent of parents say bath time is some of the best quality time theyget with their child, yet many parents underestimate its power and

benefits. In fact, more than half of parents (58 percent) say bath timeis not extremely important to their child's brain development. Yet,emerging and foundational science reveals multi-sensorialexperiences such as bath time can be critical to baby's happy, healthydevelopment.

During the first three years of life, 85 percent of baby's brain isformed. Researchers have found that during the formative first yearsof life - every interaction - every moment - is an opportunity to helpshape baby's developing brain.

Bath time is more than cleansing; it's a ritual that allows parentsto unlock the full power of baby's senses with opportunities to use

smell, touch, sight and sound. Make bath time mean more with tfun ideas:

• Don't leave out the bubbles: Playing with bubbles can h

babies develop hand-eye coordination and discover objects eeven when they can't be seen.

• Be a rock star for the night: Play music and sing songs dubath time, which can stimulate parts of the brain responsiblememory. Did you know that playing certain types of mstimulates parts of the brain responsible for visual imagery?

• Give a language lesson in the tub: Talk back and forth with bduring this time. It can help with language development.

• Link smell with happy memories: Pleasant smells, like thfrom a fragranced bath product, can create long lasting memofor baby when paired with the loving interaction of a parent.

Another big part of the after-bath routine is routine massage,research shows that babies who receive routine touch and mass

are more likely to make eye contact and have an overall posiexpression. According to the JOHNSON'S Global Bath TReport, only 19 percent of parents in the U.S. understand that bmassages are extremely important to their child's brain developmwith nearly three in 10 (28 percent) saying it's not at all imporYet, this skin-on-skin contact through routine massage can leaimproved cognitive development and increased alertness attentiveness for children.

Remember to think of the bath time routine as more than a simtask - it fosters development and a sense of well-being for babyparents, alike. For more ideas and inspiration to create meaninmoments with your family,
