Her latest movie, One for the Money,opens next Friday.

Nate Parker stars in Red Tails (in theaters now), a storyabout the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II. A generation

looked up to those heroes, and in Parker’s own life, helooked up to his four uncles. They were the only menin his life after his father died when Parker was very

young, and they shared a three-bedroom apart-ment with him, his mom, his aunt and his grand-mother in Norfolk, Va. “We didn’t have manymaterial things, but we loved each other un-conditionally,” says Parker, 32, who was anAll-American wrestler at the University ofOklahoma. “My uncles and a couple of my coach-es really, really set a high standard for me and pushed

me further than I believed I could go.”

New rechargeable Turbo-Ear turnsordinary hearing into “super-hearing”. And the most amazingnews – it costs LESS than $20 tobuy (excl. S/H) – and saves you aton of money over time.Just like camera film, Walkmans andpay phones… regular hearing aid bat-teries may become the next productto become virtually obsolete.New sound amplification technologyhas recently been made available toconsumers that completely eliminatesold-fashioned, money-wasting regu-lar batteries (and Personal SoundAmplifiers and Hearing Aids use thesame type of batteries). In its placeis a Personal Sound Amplifier thatworks just as well, if not better thanlots of battery operated SoundAmplifiers, and is fully rechargeablewhile you sleep. And at a price thatEVERYONE can afford!The new Turbo-Ear uses advancedmicroprocessor technology thatmakes it so small it fits discreetly in-side your ear, so it’s hardly noticeable.Which means you hear everythingyou’ve been missing, loud and clear.

In fact, it gives you soundso crisp and clear you canhear a pin drop!But here’s what sets itapart in a class of its own:Because it’s rechargeable,you’ll save thousands ofdollars in replacementbatteries over the years.At this price point, that’svirtually unheard of in thisindustry. With the Turbo-Ear you can recharge it

over and over again with the includedcharging adapter and charging stand.Most people choose to charge it atnight while they are sleeping anddon’t need it. That way, they don’tget disappointed by dead or dyingbatteries that have to be changed.This can be a big inconvenience ifyou’re not at home where you haveyour spare batteries.Not only does the Turbo-Ear provideamazing sound quality, it is also in-credibly comfortable. So comfortable,in fact, that many users say theyoften forget they’re even wearing it.No cords, nothing behind the ear –it’s both comfortable and attractive.The Turbo-Ear is small and light-weight with easily adjustable volumecontrol. It also fits in either the left orright ear. If you would like to giveyour hearing a “turbo-boost”, theTurbo-Ear allows you to:• Listen to the TV and hear every-

thing – without disturbing others.• Bring it to the theater or the

movies.• Hear all of nature’s sounds.

• Participate in low volume conver-sations without ever missinga word.

• Hear what others are saying – evenif they are far away!

Here’s what some Turbo-Ear usershave said:“It’s so comfortable, I sometimesforget I’m wearing it!”

“So much more convenient, and Isave a lot of money on batteries!”

“I finally hear all the little thingsI was missing before!”

Turbo-Ear is shipped with EVERY-THING needed at no additional cost.Including … the Rechargeable SoundAmplifier … A charging stand and astorage box … A power adapter forcharging … 2 extra earplugs … andan Instruction manual … ALL foronly $19.90. That’s unheard of in thisindustry and the supplier is extremelybusy filling orders for men andwomen all over the U.S. The companyexplains: “If we sold this productthrough normal retail outlets, there’sno way that we could hand theseover to the public for less than $20.But we cut out the middleman andsell directly to the consumer. Webuy in large quantities and pass thesavings on to the buyer”.You can order Turbo-Ear directly fromthe company risk free for only $19.90per set by calling 1-800-550-5700.They are not sold in stores. AndTurbo-Ear is so sure you’ll see a quickimprovement, they back Turbo-Earand its money-saving charging systemwith a Full 90-day Money BackGuarantee.

SCIENCE IS ONLY beginning tounderstand the intrinsic rela-tionship we have with dogs. “Ialways want dogs in my life,”says Katherine Heigl — and

it appears that will pay off for her inmultiple ways. The mere act of petting adog can cause a chain of events. In-stantly, neurotransmitters in our heads do ahappy dance — it’s involuntary. We feel good.

When we feel good, we are more likely tosmile. Whenever we smile, still more neu-rotransmitters are fired. That’s why expertssay just smiling is good for us.

Studies show that when petting a dog, ahormone called oxytocin kicks into high gear.Oxytocin, which is sometimes dubbed “thecuddle hormone,” helps reduce blood pressureand decreases levels of cortisol, a hormonerelated to stress and anxiety.

If this is the case, might petting a dog be asubstitute for an anti-anxiety medication? Toat least some degree, the answer is yes. As aresult, some doctors have suggested that dogsare sometimes better than Prozac.

For years it’s been thought that sharingyour life with a dog is healthful. Now scientistsare not only confirming it’s true, but they’realso beginning to understand why.

It turns out that increased oxytocin may

offer additional benefits. Just after childbirth,oxytocin levels in mothers soar, and it’sthought that it cements a bond between moth-ers and newborns. Is our connection with dogssimilarly bonded? No one knows.

And one more thing: Recent studies suggestpeople supplemented with oxytocin heal fast-er. Perhaps the healing properties of elevatedoxytocin at least partially explain the benefitsof therapy dogs.

For decades, there have been anecdotalstories of dogs visiting a children’s hospital orrehab center and seeming to promote healing.In recent years, medical science has docu-mented that such benefits can be real.

Even the simple act of taking a dog for a

walk is healthful. There’s the obvious car-diovascular benefit. Also, as RebeccaA. Johnson, Alan M. Beck and SandraMcCune say in their book, The HealthBenefits of Dog Walking for Pets & Peo-ple, dogs are a social lubricant. That’s afancy way of saying you are more likely tostop and chat with people when you have awagging tail at the end of a leash.

All dog owners know that strangers whowouldn’t give you a second glance, much lessstop to chat, might do so if you have a dog. Orat least people may more likely smile as theywalk by. Since we know smiling helps peoplefeel good, walking a dog is a way to spread alittle bit of happiness.

No wonder the presence of dogs in a com-munity is considered an important barometerwhen measuring quality of life.

Actor John O’Hurley, host of the NationalDog Show Presented by Purina each Thanks-giving, says, “When a dog wags his tail, it isconnected to his heart.” Apparently, thosetail wags are also connected to our hearts,and our heads. 6

Contributing editor STEVE DALE is a certifieddog and cat behavior consultant. He writes a twice-weekly syndicated newspaper column and is the hostof two syndicated radio shows. Most recently he is theauthor of two e-books that answer common pet-behav-ior problems, Good Dog! and Good Cat! (availablewherever e-books are sold).

The result? Better health for you!

BY STEVE DALEHow dogs spreadHow dogs spreadhappinesshappiness

For years it’s been thoughtsharing your life with a dog ishealthful. Now scientists arebeginning to understand why.

Katherine Heigl has a lump in her throat. She’stalking about Mojo, her beloved 15-year-old shep-herd mix she had to “put down” last summer when

he could no longer stand.“I hate having to make that decision for another

being,” she says. “You don’t ever feel 100% confident inyour decision. My vet said: ‘Katie, this is a dignified dog.Don’t take away his dignity.’ That’s the greatest gift wecan give these animals we care so much about: adignified ending.”Choking up, she adds, “It’s really hard. And I have

Romeo, who’s also 15. He can’t really hear and see, buthe’s been my best friend for 15 years. So it’s going to beawful. . . . ”

Heigl, 33, whose edgy comments have sometimesgotten her into trouble, is clearly a softie when it comesto canines. No wonder she calls herself “the Mad DogLady.” The actress has seven of them: the afore-mentioned Romeo plus Stella (both miniature schnau-zers), mixed-breed Piper, schnoodle Wheezer, Oscar the“hotcake” hound, plus a pair of shepherd mix puppies,Flora and Tamber.Says Heigl: “I always want animals in my life.”These days, that life is plenty full. In addition to her

pack of pups, Heigl has a daughter, Naleigh, 3, whom sheand husband Josh Kelley adopted from South Korea twoyears ago; a movie opening next Friday, One for theMoney, in which she sports a new dark ’do as a hapless

bounty hunter; and an ad campaign advocatingthat dogs and cats be neutered or spayed called “IHate Balls.” The gamely titled video was producedby the comedic team at Funny or Die in associationwith her charity, the Jason Debus Heigl Founda-tion, named for her late brother.“He died in 1986; I was only 7,” Heigl says. “The

motto for our foundation is that we want to helpand protect the voiceless and the innocent —that was my brother’s bent. He had an unusuallygrand sense of compassion. My brother wasabsolutely an animal advocate.”When asked how she handles such a large pack

at home, plus Naleigh, even while her musician

husband is often away touring, she concedes: “It’sa total work in progress. I have these morningswhere I want to complain to my husband or mymother, but then I realize it was entirely mydecision! I can’t complain, because I created thisfor myself. So we try to just make it as seamless aswe can, and incorporate all of these animals intoour lives.”It helps, she adds, that “we have the great

fortune of having two homes — one in L.A. andone in Utah. So sometimes we keep the little onesin L.A. and the big ones in Utah, where we havelots of property to run around in, to work off someof that energy.”

It doesn’t hurt, either, that Kelley, 31, lovesdogs, too. “He was really excited about thepuppies, because all the dogs were really attachedto me,” she says. “I’m their person. I’m the onewith them all the time. I’m the one training them.I feed them. And he’s on the road a lot. So whenwe got the puppies, I said, ‘Tamber will be yourdog, and Flora will be my dog, so you’ll have onethat’s completely yours.’ He got all excited about it— but then, of course,” she adds without missinga beat, “Tamber loves me best.”The couple have been careful to teach Naleigh

to be gentle with their furry housemates, and theparents never leave their daughter alone with the

dogs. Still, the toddler is clearly taking after herfamous mother:“The dogs are her best friends,” Heigl says. “We

have pictures of her doing tea parties with Mojo.But she’s not very loyal: One minute Piper’s herbest friend. And then it’s Oscar. It’s just the cutest.”Calling her dogs “a blessing,” Heigl adds:“It’s so worth it to walk down in the morning

and have these dogs go bananas, so excited to seeme. My daughter could be like: ‘Oh, hey.’ I’ll say,‘Give Mommy a kiss!’ and she says, ‘Uh, no.’ Butthey’ll always give me a kiss. They’re always happywith me.”

BY STEVE DALEHow dogs spreadHow dogs spreadhappinesshappiness

For years it’s been thoughtsharing your life with a dog ishealthful. Now scientists arebeginning to understand why.

Katherine Heigl has a lump in her throat. She’stalking about Mojo, her beloved 15-year-old shep-herd mix she had to “put down” last summer when

he could no longer stand.“I hate having to make that decision for another

being,” she says. “You don’t ever feel 100% confident inyour decision. My vet said: ‘Katie, this is a dignified dog.Don’t take away his dignity.’ That’s the greatest gift wecan give these animals we care so much about: adignified ending.”Choking up, she adds, “It’s really hard. And I have

Romeo, who’s also 15. He can’t really hear and see, buthe’s been my best friend for 15 years. So it’s going to beawful. . . . ”

Heigl, 33, whose edgy comments have sometimesgotten her into trouble, is clearly a softie when it comesto canines. No wonder she calls herself “the Mad DogLady.” The actress has seven of them: the afore-mentioned Romeo plus Stella (both miniature schnau-zers), mixed-breed Piper, schnoodle Wheezer, Oscar the“hotcake” hound, plus a pair of shepherd mix puppies,Flora and Tamber.Says Heigl: “I always want animals in my life.”These days, that life is plenty full. In addition to her

pack of pups, Heigl has a daughter, Naleigh, 3, whom sheand husband Josh Kelley adopted from South Korea twoyears ago; a movie opening next Friday, One for theMoney, in which she sports a new dark ’do as a hapless

bounty hunter; and an ad campaign advocatingthat dogs and cats be neutered or spayed called “IHate Balls.” The gamely titled video was producedby the comedic team at Funny or Die in associationwith her charity, the Jason Debus Heigl Founda-tion, named for her late brother.“He died in 1986; I was only 7,” Heigl says. “The

motto for our foundation is that we want to helpand protect the voiceless and the innocent —that was my brother’s bent. He had an unusuallygrand sense of compassion. My brother wasabsolutely an animal advocate.”When asked how she handles such a large pack

at home, plus Naleigh, even while her musician

husband is often away touring, she concedes: “It’sa total work in progress. I have these morningswhere I want to complain to my husband or mymother, but then I realize it was entirely mydecision! I can’t complain, because I created thisfor myself. So we try to just make it as seamless aswe can, and incorporate all of these animals intoour lives.”It helps, she adds, that “we have the great

fortune of having two homes — one in L.A. andone in Utah. So sometimes we keep the little onesin L.A. and the big ones in Utah, where we havelots of property to run around in, to work off someof that energy.”

It doesn’t hurt, either, that Kelley, 31, lovesdogs, too. “He was really excited about thepuppies, because all the dogs were really attachedto me,” she says. “I’m their person. I’m the onewith them all the time. I’m the one training them.I feed them. And he’s on the road a lot. So whenwe got the puppies, I said, ‘Tamber will be yourdog, and Flora will be my dog, so you’ll have onethat’s completely yours.’ He got all excited about it— but then, of course,” she adds without missinga beat, “Tamber loves me best.”The couple have been careful to teach Naleigh

to be gentle with their furry housemates, and theparents never leave their daughter alone with the

dogs. Still, the toddler is clearly taking after herfamous mother:“The dogs are her best friends,” Heigl says. “We

have pictures of her doing tea parties with Mojo.But she’s not very loyal: One minute Piper’s herbest friend. And then it’s Oscar. It’s just the cutest.”Calling her dogs “a blessing,” Heigl adds:“It’s so worth it to walk down in the morning

and have these dogs go bananas, so excited to seeme. My daughter could be like: ‘Oh, hey.’ I’ll say,‘Give Mommy a kiss!’ and she says, ‘Uh, no.’ Butthey’ll always give me a kiss. They’re always happywith me.”

ONE OF MY

resolu-tions this year has been

to spend less on specialty drinks. Ibought a new cof-fee maker with aburr grinder that Ilove, and I ordereda stash of coffeepods for my oldespresso machine.

I’ve also startedmaking my own chai tea. It wasn’tas easy as I thought to develop arecipe I loved.

I started by brewing tea withwhole spices, but I wanted some-thing with more flavor and char-acter. Ground spices were a betterchoice, but there was still some-thing missing. I checked out the

ingredientslist of a con-centrate. Iliked two in-triguing fla-vors: a littlemolasses tosupport all

those rich, heavy spices, and asqueeze of lemon juice to enlivenflavor. Finally, I got it right.

My chai concentrate has theright amount of sweetener for me.If you want more, simply add alittle extra agave.

This tea savesmoney andadds flavor.

Chai Tea Concentrate4 tsps. each ground ginger andcinnamon

4 tsps. fennel seeds, ground2 tsps. each ground black pepper,cardamom and coriander

1 tsp. ground cloves¼ cup loose black tea such asEarl Grey

¾ cup blue agave2 Tbs. molasses4 tsps. vanilla extract1 Tb. fresh lemon juice

Heat spices in a heavy-bottomedmedium saucepan over medium-lowheat, stirring constantly until fragrantand smoke starts to rise, a couple ofminutes. Add1quart of water and thetea; bring to a simmer.Remove from heat, cover and let

steep about 10 minutes. Strain out teaand spices; stir in agave, molasses,vanilla and lemon juice.To serve, combine ¼ cup of the

concentrate with either ¾ cup hot orcold milk or water. The rest can becovered and refrigerated up to acouple of weeks until ready to use.(Note: Recipe does not include

HER BRITISH HUSBAND

may not be an aristocrat,but otherwise, Elizabeth

McGovern says, playing an Amer-ican living in England in the oh-so-English PBS period series Down-ton Abbey is a practically a slam-dunk for the actress.

“I’m living in a world thatwasn’t my own growing up,” saysthe L.A. native, who has lived inLondon for 18 years. She has two

teenage daugh-ters with directorSimon Curtis.

We asked herabout the expat life and more:

How hard was it to moveabroad?

“It was traumatic. I was makingthree life-changing decisions atonce. I was pregnant, getting mar-ried and changing countries. I wasalso sort of abandoning my career.But I never thought twice about it.I have no regrets.”

What do you wish you knewat 20?

“When I was younger, the effortto seduce or engage the male wasmuch more prevalent. I viewedwomen as competitors. I was veryawkward and socially much moreself-conscious. I judged myselfmuch more.”

What made you change?“Having children connected me

to the world in a different way,and it connected me to other wom-en, pulling me out of my shyness.”

Do you think older is wiser?“Now I can bring life experi-

ence and wisdom to any situation.There’s an increased confidencein having lived. That’s liberatingand rewarding.”

How did you end up being ina band called Sadie and TheHotheads?

“I come from a very musicallyobsessed family, but I never sawmyself having any talent in thatarea. When my kids startedschool, I had a lot of time on myhands. I was working occasionallyas an actress, but it all seemed tobe so much effort for so littlereward. I had an idea for somelyrics and soon discovered writingsongs came naturally to me.”

How’s life at 50?“I’m a happier person than I

ever was, but I do mourn certainaspects of youth. This is a busi-ness for the young. I was alwaysresentful and knocking againstthose ingénue chains. But my de-sire to be sexy and alluring is notgone. Yet I would never go to theextent of wanting to do surgery tolook younger.” 6

Actress Elizabeth McGovernon the twists of fate thattransported her career

(and family life)to England.

The flu comes on fast, so ifyou start feeling symptoms,call your doctor right away.

1 year and older with infl uenza(fl u) whose symptoms startedwithin the last two days.

Tamifl u can also reduce the chance of getting the fl u.

Tamifl u is not a substitute for an annual fl u vaccination.

IN HIS NEW, critically lauded(though thus far award-snubbed) movie, Rampart,

which opens next Friday, WoodyHarrelson plays a dirty cop — arole about as far from the real guyas it gets. Harrelson, 50, who hasthree daughters ages 7, 15 and 17(his “goddess trilogy”) with wifeLaura Louie, told us why:He’s really a flower child.

“I’m a happy hippie from Hawaii.I’m not a big rule enforcer.”He’s a pushover with

women. “I love women and I havea lot of respect, particularly asrelates to Laura. I feel whatevershe wants is good by me.”

And he’s outnumbered. “Wealso have a female dog. I’m nutsabout all of them. Me and thewifey are still getting along great.Dropping [eldest daughter] Deniat college was the most difficultthing I experienced in the pastyear. But I’ve got Zoe and Makaniat home.”But he’s still a dude. For his

50th birthday last summer, “Iplayed soccer and did stand-uppaddle with my buddy Owen [Wil-son] and some friends in Maui.Games and sports — the wholeday. Now I’m kind of delightedto know that I’m not getting old.I’m just old.”

He’s not a gym rat. “When Idid Rampart, I lost 30 poundsbecause I felt it was better for thecharacter. I worked out constant-ly, maybe twice a day, and mini-mized caloric intake.” But normal-ly, “If I’m in Maui, I play soccerand tennis and go kite-surfing.I’m not big on gyms.”He has few regrets. But he

wishes he hadn’t turned downTom Cruise’s role in JerryMcGuire and Jeff Daniels’ inDumb and Dumber; “I wish Ihadn’t been so harsh on someonein an argument”; and “I’d hadmore hang time with my dad.” 6

Brief SummaryThis is a brief summary. Please see the Tamiflu full Prescribing Information at www.Tamiflu.com for complete safety information.Tamiflu® (oseltamivir phosphate) Rx onlyRx onlyThis brief summary contains important information about Tamiflu (TAM-ihflew). Read it well before you begin treatment. This information does not take the place of talking with your healthcare professional about your medical condition or yourtreatment. This brief summary does not list all the benefits and risks of Tamiflu. If you have any questions about Tamiflu, ask your healthcare professional. Only your healthcare professional can determine if Tamiflu is right for you.What is Tamiflu?Tamiflu attacks the influenza virus and stops it from spreading inside your body. Tamiflu treats flu at its source, by attacking the virus that causes the flu, rather than simply masking symptoms. Tamiflu is for treating adults and children aged 1and older with the flu whose flu symptoms started within the last day or two. Tamiflu can also reduce the chance of getting the flu in people aged 1 and older who have a higher chance of getting the flu because they spend time with someonewho has the flu. Tamiflu can also reduce the chance of getting the flu if there is a flu outbreak in the community.What is “flu”?“The flu” is an infection caused by the influenza virus. Flu symptoms include fever (usually 100ºF to 103ºF in adults, and sometimes higher in children) and problems such as cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, headaches, muscle aches,fever, and extreme tiredness. Many people use the term “flu” to mean any combination of these symptoms, such as the common cold, but true influenza infection is often worse and may last longer than a cold. Flu outbreaks happen about oncea year, usually in the winter, when the influenza virus spreads widely in the community. Outside of those outbreaks, only a very tiny number of respiratory infections are caused by the influenza virus.Should I get a flu shot?Tamiflu is not a substitute for a flu vaccination. You should continue to get a flu vaccination every year, according to your healthcare professional’s advice.Who should not take Tamiflu?Do not take Tamiflu if you are allergic to the main ingredient, oseltamivir phosphate, or to any other ingredients of Tamiflu. Before starting treatment, make sure your healthcare professional knows if you take any other medicines, or are pregnant,planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Tamiflu is normally not recommended for use during pregnancy or nursing, as the effects on the unborn child or nursing infant are unknown. Tamiflu is not recommended for use in childrenyounger than 1 year of age. Tell your healthcare professional if you have any type of kidney disease, heart disease, respiratory disease, or any serious health condition. Tamiflu for Oral Suspension contains sorbitol. Sorbitol may cause upsetstomach and diarrhea in patients with a family history of fructose intolerance.How should I take Tamiflu?It is important that you begin your treatment with Tamiflu as soon as possible from the first appearance of your flu symptoms or soon after you are exposed to the flu. If you feel worse or develop new symptoms during treatment with Tamiflu,or if your flu symptoms do not start to get better, you should contact your healthcare professional. If you have the flu: Take Tamiflu twice a day for 5 days, once in the morning and once in the evening. You should complete the entire treatmentof 10 doses (capsules or suspension), even if you feel better. To prevent the flu: If someone in your home has the flu, take Tamiflu once a day for 10 days or for as long as prescribed. You can take Tamiflu for up to 6 weeks if you are exposed tothe flu because of an outbreak in your community. Follow your healthcare professional’s advice on how long to take Tamiflu. You can take Tamiflu with food or without food. There is less chance of stomach upset if you take it with a light snack,milk, or a meal. If you are taking Tamiflu for Oral Suspension, your pharmacist will give you a dosing dispenser marked with 3 possible doses. Follow your healthcare professional’s instructions on which dose to take or how to combine themfor the proper dose for you. In order to be sure you receive the proper dose, it is important that you use the dispenser provided. Review the instructions below on how to use the dispenser and ask your pharmacist if you have any questions. Ifyou lose or damage the dispenser and cannot use it, contact your healthcare professional or pharmacist for advice on the proper dose. If Tamiflu for Oral Suspension is not available, your healthcare provider may instruct you to open TamifluCapsules and mix the contents with sweetened liquids such as regular or sugar-free chocolate syrup. Please follow the dosing instructions below. If you forget to take your medicine, take the missed dose as soon as you remember, except if itis 2 hours or less before your next dose. Then continue to take Tamiflu at the usual times. Do not take 2 doses at a time to make up for a missed dose. If you miss several doses, tell your healthcare professional and follow the advice given to you.What are the possible side effects of Tamiflu?of Tamiflu?The most common side effects of Tamiflu are nausea and vomiting. These are usually mild to moderate. They usually happen in the first 2 days of treatment. Taking Tamiflu with food may reduce the chance of getting these side effects. If youdevelop an allergic reaction or severe rash, stop taking Tamiflu and contact your healthcare professional. People with the flu, particularly children and adolescents, may be at an increased risk of seizures, confusion, or abnormal behavior earlyduring their illness. These events may occur shortly after beginning Tamiflu or may occur when flu is not treated. These events are uncommon but may result in accidental injury to the patient. Therefore, patients should be observed for signsof unusual behavior and a healthcare professional should be contacted immediately if the patient shows any signs of unusual behavior. Before taking Tamiflu, please let your healthcare provider know if you have received nasally administeredinfluenza virus vaccine during the past 2 weeks.

OSTEOPOROSIS, a conditionthat causes the bones tobecome brittle, afflicts

about 44 million Americans, andestimates suggest half of womenand up to 25% of men over age 50will break a bone because of it.Some risk factors are out of your

hands: Bone den-sity decreaseswith age, morewomen than mendevelop the dis-ease, and hered-ity plays a majorrole. But you cancontrol your alco-hol intake, quitsmoking and take

these steps to boost bone health:Choose low-fat dairy. Milk,

cheese and yogurt contain a formof calcium that your body can easi-ly absorb; opt for 1% versions in-stead of whole-milk products andyou get the same calcium with alot less fat and fewer calories.Other high-calcium eats: darkgreen leafy vegetables, sardinesand fortified cereals and juices.

Supplement with vitamin D.Your body needs it to absorb calci-um properly, but it’s not the easi-est vitamin to get. Though yourskin makes vitamin D when it’sexposed to the sun, you probablywon’t get enough if you live in highlatitudes, are house-bound or reg-ularly use sunscreen. It is avail-able in food sources, but only afew, including fatty fish. Talk toyour doctor about which supple-ment you need.Eat prunes. They may help

slow the rate of bone loss andreduce your risk of developing os-teoporosis, a recent study reports.Start with two or three prunes aday and gradually increase to sixto 10, suggest researchers.Walk and lift weights. Don’t
