If you're relying on Grandma to help with child care, it's time to reconsider. A new study of more than 54 000 women found that those who watched their grandkids 9 hours a week or more were 55% more likely to have a heart attack. These women may have less time to take care of their own health, says lead author Sunmin Lee, ScD, of the Harvard School of Public Health. Younger kids may pose more risk because they need more carE.
'However willing your mom might seem, it's up to you to figure out how much she can really handle,' says Meredith Minkler, DrPH, a public-health professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and an expert on grandparents as caregivers. 'It's not just about physical health. Older adults need time to connect with people of their own agE.Social isolation is a major risk factor for illness.'

Infrared Scanning TechnologyHow do we get more young people to increase their consumption of iron-rich foods? Many nutritionists are advocating the fortification of a number of foods. This may help, but I contend that we should also intensify our efforts in nutrition education among our young peoplE.I simply do not believe the argument that it is futile (徒劳的) to try to change eating habits. Once an intelligent person--and this includes adolescents--understands the need for a healthy diet, I think he 6r she will act accordingly. As for specific actions: I suggest that blood hemoglobin (血红蛋白) should be checked as a routine part of a youngster's yearly physical. It should contain at least 11 grams per 100 milliliters of blood for a girl and at least 12 grams for a boy. If it is any lower, the physician probably will prescribe an easily absorbed iron supplement.Adolescents--and everyone else--should cut out highly processed foods and drinks, which may be how in iron and other nutrients. Read the labels for iron content. Especially make sure that all bakery products are made with enriched flour or whole grains. Try adding liver, chicken, beef, veal or any other variety to the weekly menu.Finally, even when you're trying to lose weight, always eat a sensible, well-balanced diet made up of a variety of fresh of very lightly processed foods. This way, you stand a good chance of getting not only enough iron, but also adequate amounts of all the other essential nutrients.The author recommends that young people ______.A.check blood hemoglobin yearlyB.be on a strictly vegetarian dietC.lose weightD.do some more studies on hemoglobin
