ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
Fruits, veggies the easy way

Advertiser Staff and News Services

Want to lose weight? Brighten up your diet with additional fruits and vegetables, because these sumptuous foods are naturally low in calories and high in fiber. You'll feel full more easily. Although you can overeat almost anything, it is easier to eat sensibly with lots of fruits and vegetables. Recipes are available from the Healthy Hawaii Initiative, www.healthyhawaii.com/recipes.htm.

— Drs. Jay Maddock and Bill Reger-Nash



DE-CLUTTER YOUR GARAGE, AND YOU'LL FEEL LOTS BETTER

The August Real Simple magazine, on shelves now, focuses on no-sweat garage organizing, offering these tips (which also work for carports):

  • Edit as you excavate. Decide what to toss, what to donate to charity and what's so nice it should be returned to the house.

  • Involve the wall: Mounted hooks and hangers allow easy access — and storage.

  • Divide the territory: Her garden tools should get some space, as should his drills and hammers.



    FINAL WORD

    "Have a fair tax, where people are taxed on what they spend rather than what they earn. ... You'll take this nation of ours from a consuming nation to a savings nation. And that's the most significant thing we can do to alter climate change."

    Mike Gravel | Democratic presidential hopeful, during last week's candidate debate
