My heart is always happy
When I truthfully can say
That by the grace of God
I made another friend today.
There is no better way
In which to use the time we spend
Than just to smile and say hello
And find another friend.
We cannot have too many
For the courage that we need
If only in the comfort of
A good and kindly deed.
If only in the counsel
And the words of sympathy
That leave no doubt or question
As to their sincerity.
And so it always is a day
That has a happy end
When I can tell myself that
I have made another friend.

EVERY NUTRIENTS
-------------------
How to meet your daily dietary needs.
Many people know vitamins may help reduce the risk of some diseases. But not
many know which vitamins they need or how to determine if they're consuming
sufficient quantities of needed nutrients.
"Although research has shown the benefits of vitamins and minerals in a
healthful diet, the way to get these nutrients may not necessarily be in a
vitamin or mineral supplement," says Bobby Montgomery, an exercise physiologist.
Often, you can consume the small amounts of vitamins and minerals you need by
choosing a wide variety of foods.
RECOMMENDED DIET
According to the American Dietetic Association (ADA), a balanced diet includes:
Bread and grains: 6 to 11 serving per day
One serving equals one slice of bread, 1 ounce of ready-to-eat cereal or ½ cup
of cooked cereal, rice or pasta.
Vegetables: 3 to 5 servings per day
One serving equals 1 cup of raw, leafy vegetables; ½ cup of vegetable, cooked or
chopped raw; or ¾ cup of vegetable juice.
Milk, yogurt and cheese: 2 to 3 serving per day
One serving equals 1 cup of milk of yogurt, 1½ ounces of natural cheese or 2
ounces of processed cheese.
Meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs and nuts: 2 to 3 serving per day
One serving equals 2 or 3 ounces of cooked lean meat, poultry or fish; 1 cup of
cooked dry beans; 2 eggs; and 2/3 cup nuts.
PEOPLE IN NEED
Some people can benefit from taking a supplement in addition to eating a
healthful diet, According to the ADA, a vitamin supplement may be helpful if you
fit any of the following profiles:
c You frequently skip meals or don't eat enough fruits, vegetables, grain and
dairy products
c You're on a low-calories diet
c You're a strict vegetarian
c You can't drink milk or eat yogurt
c You're a woman of childbearing age and don't eat fruits and vegetables
c You are pregnant
IF you believe you should take vitamin supplements, "It's important you first
talk with your doctor or dietitian to make sure you are not taking more or less
than you need and that none of the supplements could cause an interaction with
medications you take or conditions you have," says Montgomery.
TAKING SUPPLEMENTS
To help you take supplements safely, remember:
Self-prescribing mega doses of individual vitamin or mineral supplements can be
more harmful than helpful
Supplements can never take the place of a healthful diet
"It's also crucial to remember that 'natural' doesn't always mean safe," says
Montgomery. "Good health is more than pooping pills. It's about living a
healthful lifestyle with a nutritious diet and plenty of exercise."
"Your body also needs other substances found in food, such as protein, minerals,
carbohydrates and fat," says Montgomery. "Vitamins themselves often can't work
without the presence of other foods."
