Lieutenant Dan By Joe Pellegrino

orrest Gump is without a


doubt one of my favorite
movies. I must have seen

it a hundred times and yet still


enjoy it. Forrest was a simple
man whose nave nature led

him to make wise observations.


One of my favorite scenes is
when Forrest and Lieutenant
Dan are in the hospital. In a fit
of anger Lt. Dan, whose legs
were both amputated, pulls
Forrest down on the floor.
Forrest had saved Lt. Dans life
when he was wounded, but Lt.
Dan insisted he was supposed
to die on the battlefield just
like the rest of the men in his
family had done in previous
wars. Because Forrest saved
him he believed that he was
robbed of his destiny. He ends

by telling Forrest, Look at me.


I use to be Lt. Dan Taylor.
Upon hearing this Forrest looks
at Lt. Dan and makes a powerful statement, stating the obvious when he says, You still are
Lt. Dan.
We live in a period where
we, individually and as a
nation, have lost touch with
our identity, who we really are!
We have gone from a nation
built on We to one focused
on self. Our enemies laugh at us
and encourage us to continue
along these paths for they

know that it tenderizes us and


prepares us to be consumed.
The majority of the ad campaigns focus on two things: fear
and greed. The fear of not
keeping up with the Jones
and the attitude of greed that
says I deserve this!
So whats the answer?
How do we make sense of all
the noise coming our way?
When your identity is wrapped
up in what others tell you who
you are and what your destiny
is to be it creates a slippery

Financial planner looks back and ponders the future


during recent family vacation
By Mark Charnet

hile sunning on
the shore, I started
counting all of the
money we were spending on
our 2014 holiday vacation
thinking about how are my
four kids going to replicate this
activity with their kids in the
future. Starting with airfare for
six and accommodations at a
magnificent Riviera Beach
oceanfront resort in Singer
Island, Florida for 10 days,
renting 2 cars, as one wasnt
large enough for all of us with
the luggage, the cost of feeding
our brood finalized the calculation. The financial planner in
me, immediately brought my
thoughts to cost and figures
while my wife counted the
blessings and memories being
made.
How will our kids and their
peers ever afford such a
lifestyle, one theyve come to
know, enjoy and anticipate?

Accumulating a downpayment for a home while paying off student loans, covering
the monthly rent, paying for
dating then planning a wedding, the never-ending car
lease payments, simultaneous
to building a professional
wardrobe for the interviews
and first career job, our children will also need to furnish
their new apartment or home
while striving to participate in
their companys 401k program
assuming they get that higher
paying job to afford to. Next
come babies, where the word

budget has a whole new meaning. If our daughter or daughter-in-law decides to be a stay
at home mom with resulting
loss of income, will they financially make it without parental
help? The figures were constantly streaming through my
mind and the conclusions are
not in their favor. Dad will
need to help, in almost every
example I thought of and this
is under current conditions
before calculating the effects of
any emergencies, health issues
or inflation?
In my 5 decades living in
North Jersey, Ive seen a slice
of pizza rise from .25 to $2.50
and a house from $24,000 up
to $350,000 then back down
to $240,000. Our children will
see the same inflation increases over the next 5 decades or
even worse, in my opinion.
Income taxes have risen proportionately over the same
period as well by either
increasing the tax rate or by
lowering the brackets which,
push more into higher payments. North Jersey property
taxes have fared much worse,
rising substantially above the
inflation rate of pizza and
housing.
What are the children of
today to do when they ponder
their career and future? I dont
know about you, but Im gravely concerned. Ive written in
this column about multi-generational families living under
one roof with one set of utility
bills, one mortgage payment
and one less family car. It was

the cycle of life, in the fifties


and sixties; children were itching to leave home and get out
from under their parents to
make a life for themselves! In
the 21st century, children are
returning home or arent leaving, for financial reasons. You
all should be aware that 52%
of Americans dont pay
income tax, which means the
48% that do are supporting
100% of the populations obligations. The Federal government is broken, NJ is broke,
counties are broke and local
municipalities are broke too.
Government makes no money,
doesnt produce anything to
make any money, yet, it does
spend a lot of money and even
more money it doesnt have by
borrowing from future revenue
streams, borrowing from
investors, robbing the tax-payers of tomorrow and increasing
taxes on the already overburdened 48% that pay today.
Why cant government ever
operate with a profit at the end
of the quarter?
Should the American
family emulate the federal government and use the credit
card to pay for the vacation or
should government learn from
the fiscally responsible taxpaying American families that
say if we cant afford it, were
not going anywhere this year.
Im not so nave, as to assume
that Americans dont use plastic for a vacation, but, theres a
major difference between a
charge card and a credit card.
Virtually identical in appear-

ance, those who pay the bill in


full upon its arrival used a
charge card and those who
paid anything less, employed a
credit card and will pay infinitely more than the actual
charges and expenses, due
to negatively compounding
interest.
Yes, Im gravely concerned for not only my kids
but, for all of todays children.
Obviously, vacations and new
cars can be abated during
tough economic times; but,
mortgage payments, property
taxes, homeowners insurance
and food cannot be! All of
these financial and economic
thoughts ran through my mind
when receiving a massage on
the beach hoping that one day
my kids will be able to afford to
live the way they live now. I do
know that they themselves
arent thinking about it, at
least not enough as they
should be. My son Zachary
once said to me, Dad, you had
to think that way when you
were 18 because you were
forced to. Your parents got
divorced, sold the house and
forced you to be on your own,
renting your first house at just
18! You had to buy your own
towels, dishes, pots and pans,
you paid to buy and repair your
own car and bought your own
clothes. But Dad, I dont worry
about any of those things,
because I have YOU!
Guess that makes me an
enabler to a certain extent
since my 4 children do have
me as a back-up plan, always.

Alive or dead, healthy or otherwise, this Dad has prepared


to always be the financial
back-up plan for his wife and
kids. It is hard for me to separate the titles of financial planner and Dad, I thought to
myself. Please dont interpret
my column today to think my
children are spoiled, far from
it! Privileged yes, spoiled no.
The 2 older ones have their
own credit cards and resulting
bills, pay for their own cars and
insurance and have their own
apartments, complete with
rent and utilities. That is their
choice, as to live home with
mom and dad would cost them
nothing. As a result they still
vacation with their parents
and younger siblings; Terry and
I hope that will continue
indefinitely for more memorymaking and eventually with
their spouses and our grandchildren. Every time we land
at a different destination
around the world, I still ponder
about the costs for my kids to
be raising a family and building
a retirement portfolio for
themselves with the confidence that I have taught them
well and if they fall short or
need a helping hand I will be
their back-up plan, always.
What a great feeling that I
hope my entire readership can
and will enjoy, but, only if
properly planned for. Another
year has passed folks, 2015 is
here. Please ask yourself these
few questions: Are you prepared for your retirement? Is
your retirement plan prepared

for you to draw a monthly


check to last for the rest of
your life and spouses life? Will
it continue to provide income
and benefits for your children
and grandchildren years after
your departure? Would you
like it to? Would you like your
kids to steal a quote from my
son Zachary, But Dad, I dont
worry about any of those
things, because I have YOU!

Make morning
workouts work for you
any men and women struggle to find time to exercise. If hectic schedules dominated by professional and personal commitments have made it difficult to make exercise part of your daily
routine, you might want to consider skipping the snooze button so you can work out in the
early morning hours.
Early morning workouts have their ups and downs. Glucose levels in the body tend to be low in
the morning, when many people wake up with a relatively empty stomach. Low blood glucose levels
can cause feelings of nausea and weakness and possibly make you feel faint. In addition, since you
likely arent moving much while youre asleep, your joints and muscles are likely less mobile early in
the morning than they are in the evening, which can make morning workouts difficult and, if you dont
allow yourself more time to warm up, put your body at greater risk of injury. But morning workouts
also can energize you throughout the day, and many people find it easier to consistently exercise in
the early mornings than at night, when distractions or long days at the office can affect your motivation to workout.
Early morning exercise routines can be difficult to adjust to, but there are some ways to make the
adjustment to such regimens go more smoothly.
Make sleep a priority. Prioritizing sleep makes it easier to get out of bed in the morning, when you will
face the daily temptation to hit the snooze button and roll over. But if you arent sleep deprived, you will
find it easier to skip the snooze phase of your morning routine and get right out of bed. Skip the late
night talk shows and call it a night earlier, making sure you get between seven and eight hours of sleep

each night. Once you establish a new sleep schedule, you will find
it easier and easier to get up and hit the gym in the morning.
Designate more time to warm up. Early morning workout routines
require athletes to warm up more than they would when exercising
at other times of the day. As previously noted, your body is perhaps
at its least mobile right when you get out of bed, so set aside more
time to warm up when you workout in the mornings. Five to 10 minutes of light cardiovascular exercise before you begin your workout
can be enough to increase your body temperature and loosen your
body up so its ready for exercise.
Dont go it alone. The buddy system is effective for many people
regardless of when they exercise, but it can be especially beneficial
for men and women who want to start working out in the morning.
If someone is waiting for you at the gym or if your significant other
is up and ready to go, youre far less likely to skip a morning workout than you would be if you are going it alone.
Eat at your own discretion. Some people simply cannot eat
before a workout, while others find working out on an empty stomach makes them faint and weak. The problem many people who
work out in the early morning encounter with regard to eating before
their workouts is they simply dont have the time to eat and afford
their body enough time to turn that meal or snack into fuel that will
benefit their workout. A study published in the Journal of Applied
Physiology found that eating a meal 45 minutes before a moderateintensity workout enhances exercise capability. But morning exer-

cise enthusiasts typically find they do not have that spare 45 minutes to wait around while their bodies absorb a meal. Eating healthy
before exercise, and giving your body adequate time to absorb that
meal, can definitely fuel your workout. But if that 45 minutes ultimately compromises your ability to workout, you may want to have
a glass of orange juice or a drink that contains carbohydrates so
your body has some fuel as you exercise.
Many adults find that mornings are the
only times they can consistently exercise.
Adjusting to such a routine can be difficult,
but there are some ways to make that
adjustment easier.

Working together with a trainer or physical therapist to


set realistic recovery goals is one way for athletes to
successfully cope with injury.

s any professional athlete can attest, even the most athletic


and physically fit individuals can suffer an injury. Professional
athletes typically have highly trained medical personnel at
their disposal as they recover from injury, but men and women who
dont draw a paycheck for their athletic exploits have no such luxury,
making it far more difficult to recover from and cope with injury.
Each individual body responds to injury in different ways. For example, one person may heal from a hamstring injury in as little as a few
weeks, while others must endure a healing process that lasts several months. But no matter how different athletes bodies may be, there
are coping mechanisms every athlete can employ to help deal with
the mental toll that injuries can take.
Stay involved. Athletes who train heavily and devote much of their
free time to pursuing their sport of choice may feel as though their
world has come crashing down when they suffer an injury. But even
if you cannot compete, you can still stay involved in your sport. If you
are physically capable, offer to volunteer at sanctioned events, which
can help you maintain a connection with your sport and keep abreast
of the happenings within that community. If your injury is so limiting
that active volunteering is nearly impossible, you can still attend
events and then blog about them afterward. The important thing is to
recognize that, while an injury may prevent you from competing, you
can still find other ways to stay involved.
Set realistic recovery goals. Many athletes begin physical therapy
or their rehabilitation processes with a gung-ho attitude, insisting they
will return from injury stronger than they were before. While thats a
great attitude, its important that athletes temper their enthusiasm for
recovery with a dose of reality. Recovery is not overnight, and even

continued from previous page

the most elite athletes, many of whom are accustomed to their bodies responding in the way they
want them to respond, can be discouraged if they
enter the rehabilitation process with unrealistic
expectations. Work with your physical therapist,
physician or trainer to establish realistic recovery
goals, using your enthusiasm to meet your shortand long-term recovery goals. Be flexible when
setting your recovery goals, as you never know
how your body will respond to treatment.
Expect setbacks. Setbacks are an unfortunate
reality of recovery for many athletes. Dont allow
yourself to become discouraged if a goal cant be

met because your body is simply not ready or


needs to pause in its recovery process. A setback
can be frustrating, but you can cope with setbacks by writing about them, be it on a blog or in
a personal journal. Many athletes have found that
writing down their feelings is an effective way to
deal with the frustration of the recovery process.
Keeping a journal or recovery blog can also help
you cope with any future setbacks down the road,
as you can look back and see what did or did not
help you deal with past obstacles.
Athletic injuries can be thorns in the sides
of committed athletes, who may or may not
know what to do with themselves when sidelined with
significant injuries. But there
are various ways for athletes
to cope with injuries and make
the recovery process less
frustrating.

Caring for an aging dog


aring for a dog is no
small task. Many dogs
need daily exercise
and interaction with their owners in order to live long and
healthy lives. But as dogs age,
the responsibility of caring for
them can become even more
demanding.
When a dog begins to
exhibit signs of aging, its easy
for dog owners to assume that
the rigors of caring for the dog
will lessen. But while aging
dogs may not need or want to
spend as much time playing
fetch or walking around the
park as they used to, they
often grow more dependent
on their owners as they grow

older. Recognizing a dogs


changing needs and how
those needs relate to caring
for the dog is a responsibility
dog owners must take seriously.
Consider altering the dogs
diet. Many aging dogs do not
need as much food to maintain a healthy weight as they
did when they were puppies or
in the prime of their life. Much
of that is because aging dogs
dont exercise as much as
they used to, meaning they
wont be burning as many
calories as they once did. So
an aging dog thats still on the
same diet it had as a youngster might gain weight, which

can lead to a host of uncomfortable or even painful ailments. Owners concerned


about their dogs diets should
consult a veterinarian, who
may recommend a geriatric
diet that will provide all of the
necessary vitamins and nutrients dogs need while reducing
their risk of obesity.
Make sure water is accessible and available throughout the day. Older dogs are at
greater risk of dehydration, so
owners should make sure
water is readily available for
the dog at all times. Aging
dogs often struggle with their
mobility, so place several
water bowls throughout the

Animal Hospital

house so they do not have to


travel far when they need a
beverage. Keep a bowl in
close proximity to where the
dog sleeps as well.
Prioritize grooming. Owners
of aging dogs must prioritize
grooming for a variety of reasons. Regular grooming is a
great way for owners to discover any abnormalities, such as
lumps or tumors, on the dog
that might be indicative of a
medical issue. Any such abnormalities should immediately be
brought to the attention of a veterinarian. Routine grooming
also helps prevent drying out of
the coat and skin, ensuring
dogs are comfortable.

Pompton Plains, NJ
Dr. Matthew Krupnick, D.V.M.

Dont overlook dental care.


Dogs are known for bad
breath, so while there may not
be much owners can do to
make their aging dogs
breathe smell like a rose garden that does not mean pet
owners should overlook dental
care. Dogs whose teeth are
clean and tartar-free are less
likely to develop potentially
serious medical problems,
including heart disease, which
can be a byproduct of tooth
decay. Dogs may lose some
teeth as they age, but owners
should still emphasize dental
care for their aging best
friends.
Lend a hand to dogs who

are struggling with their


mobility. Aging dogs suffering
from arthritis may struggle to
get out of bed or climb flights
of stairs. When dogs start to
struggle with their mobility,
pick them up and carry them
up the stairs or help them out
of bed in the morning.
Veterinarians may prescribe
anti-inflammatory medication
to ease soreness and pain,
but owners can take additional
steps to help dogs with mobility issues, such as positioning
bedding and food and water
bowls so that they are more

TO USE

Q.

Are there any new treatment options


for Varicose Veins?

At the ACP Vein Center


in Wayne, NJ, we
provide patients with
the latest technologies
for the treatment of
Venous disease. One
of our latest offerings is EndoVenous
Radio Frequency by EVRF.

A.

With EVRF, blue/red spider veins up to


1 mm, varicose veins from 1.15 to 5 mm
(collateral, reticular and perforating
veins), as well as great and small
saphenous veins (up to 20 mm
diameter) can be treated.

Prior to EVRF, primary treatments for


smaller diameter veins, such as varicose
and spider veins included ambulatory
phlebectomy and sclerotherapy. Ambulatory phlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a large
surface of varicose vein is removed
through a series of miniature incisions.
Schlerotherapy involves injecting a small
volume of liquid into the diseased vein.
The sclerosing liquid acts upon the lining
of the vein to cause it to seal shut.
Temporary side effects of these
procedures may include: bruising and
swelling, inflammation, and hyperpigmentation.

The treatment is based on the principle


of thermocoagulation. Thermocoagula-

This innovative technique goes further


than existing techniques. Compared to

Though Radio Frequency technology is


not new to the treatment of Venous
disease, prior to EVRF, its usage has
been primarily for the treatment of the
great and small saphenous veins. EVRF
technology allows for the expansion of
treated areas.

A recent UCLA study headline states:


Baby Boomers Face More Health Problems Than Their Parents
Why are so many people getting acid reflux, diabetes, high blood pressure and high
cholesterol? This destructive environment that we are creating in our bodies of
Oxidative Stress, Acidic Stress and Dehydration Stress leads to a downward spiral of
inflammation, aches and pains, illness and disease. We then look older and feel older.
Dietary and Lifestyle Changes Without Proper Hydration,
Many Unhealthy Changes Occur in Our Cells

TAP WATER
Tap water is a healthier option than soft drinks and other beverages, but according to the Environmental Working Group, there
have been 315 pollutants found in America's tap water since
2004, and over half of these pollutants are completely unregulated and can legally exist in any amount.

REVERSE OSMOSIS AND DISTILLED WATER


Reverse Osmosis and Distilling are filtering processes, which
may be effective in areas that do not receive municipally
treated water and are commonly used in bottled water facilities. Both reverse osmosis and distilling removes healthy, naturally occurring minerals in our water. These minerals not only
provide good taste, they also serve a vital function in the
healthy balance of our bodies. When stripped of these minerals, this water becomes unnatural and an aggressive absorber. This can be quite unhealthy. Also, 2 - 3 gallons of water
are wasted for every gallon of purified water produced; again,
a very negative impact on our environment and ecosystem.

At the current levels of contamination, the public is starting to


question the quality of tap water and wonders if it is safe enough
to drink.

THE SOLUTION
One of the best ways to clean and remove toxins from your
body is by drinking the right water so the body can heal itself.

BOTTLED WATER
Bottled water is not necessarily healthier than tap water and yet
it costs much more! Bottled water costs more per gallon than
gasoline! Although, through marketing tactics, it is associated
with healthy water, bottled water is not guaranteed to be any
healthier than tap water. In fact, there are many carcinogenic
chemicals that go into the making of plastic water bottles that
can leach into the water. Why do you think they constantly tell
us not to store bottled water in our cars? Because the plastic
heats up, releasing chemicals into the water. Bottled water has
already been heated many times in the 4 to 6 months it takes
to reach market.

Everything in the body happens in water. Nutrients, Minerals, Hormones and Insulin follow water into the cells.

One solution can be as simple as drinking more water. But


what kind of water should we be drinking?

A four-year study by the Natural Resources Defense Council


shows that 1/3 of the bottled water tested contains levels of contamination which exceed allowable limits. Bottled water can also
be slightly acidic, which may affect your body's pH balance. Finally, the environmental impact caused by the production and
disposal of plastic bottles is harmful to our ecosystem.

Find out why tap water, bottled water, reverse osmosis and
distilled water are not the answer and could be actually
causing more health problems.
We have researched the best water to drink for detoxifying
your body of these harmful pollutants, as well as remove

Did you know?


Though laughter is often referred to as the best medicine,
no definitive study has been conducted to determine the
effects of laughter on overall human health, leaving open the
possibility that maintaining a good sense of humor and a
positive attitude are just as important, if not more important,
than finding time to laugh each day. But even if laughter is not
medicinal, its benefits can mimic those of exercise. When a person
laughs, his or her pulse and blood pressure increase, and people tend to
breathe faster when they laugh. Faster breathing sends more oxygen to
the tissues, which can help the heart and lungs work more efficiently. In
addition, a Vanderbilt University study found that between 10 and 15 minutes of laughter can burn as many as 50 calories. Finding time to laugh
may also indirectly improve the bodys immune system response, as
studies have suggested that infection-fighting antibodies might be more
abundant in people who can use humor to combat stress.

legacy to be re-written.
The name Fredric Wilson

you quickly recognize, but I
believe it will be one you hear

specifically to, as he put it, my
black people. He addresses not
only the issues, and responses,
going on in Ferguson but also
variety of topics that affect the
African-American community.
The synopsis of his 5 plus
minute well-articulated message is that there will always be
disagreements and challenges
between different groups of

people. He goes on to say that
each person needs to take
responsibility for his or her own
life and not be defined by the
past, current struggles or by
association with the wrong
people. Mr. Wilson said what
needed to be said, even if it was
unpopular in certain circles. In
other words know who you are!
Thank you Frederic!
Now its our turn! Its time
to do some soul searching as to
who we are individually and as
a nation. And when we do we
need to stand up for what we
believe and fight for that belief
whether in our schools,
churches the workplace or at
home.
But again, be careful that
you are not fighting for what
someone else believes. The
truth is that if you ask most
people what they believe they
can tell you but if you ask the
question why? most cant

answer. Hundreds of thousands


of citizens have given their
lives so that we can be a free
people. That beautiful thing
called freedom is in great jeopardy today because the reflection in the mirror has become
so distorted.
Once Lt. Dan stripped

to learn from this simple story
of identity.

to improve themselves, do

becoming a volunteer advocate for a child in foster care.
Passaic County CASA
(Court Appointed Special
Advocates) is recruiting volunteers for their spring training class who are interested in
becoming advocates for children in the Passaic County
foster care system.
Over 600 children in
Passaic County are removed
from their homes for their
own safety each year and need
a voice in the chaotic court
process. These children are
separated from siblings,

friends, family, teachers, and


sometimes even their personal
belongings. CASA volunteers
serve as a consistent presence
in the childs life during difficult times when everything is
unfamiliar to the child.
Volunteers conduct research
into the childs case in order
to make recommendations to
the court, while meeting with
the child to ensure that they
are receiving all the services
that they need to live a fulfilling life.
Any individual with an
interest and desire to help

children is welcome to attend


an Open House to find out
more about CASA. Current
volunteers come from all
walks of life the one thing
they have in common is a
heart for Passaic Countys
children. All volunteers must
pass an interview, background
check, and complete a 36
hour training class.
Interested applicants can
attend an Open House on

Transforming Lives By Transforming Living Spaces... Its What We Do

Dos and donts of kitchen remodels

A Tradition of Delivering Value For Over 20 Years

ccording to Remodeling
magazines
2014 Cost vs. Value
Report, a major kitchen
remodeling project should
enable homeowners to recoup
74.2 percent of their initial
investments. Kitchen renovations have long been a safe
way to improve the functionality and value of a home. But
not every kitchen project is a
guaranteed winner. Homeowners may inadvertently
make changes that end up
sticking out like a sore thumb
rather than improving the
space. Take a look at these
kitchen remodeling dos and
donts to guide your next
undertaking.

Look for the Shamrock on the Roof!


Dos and donts of kitchen remodels
continued from page 21

DO consider the way


your kitchen will look with
the rest of the home. Keep
architectural integrity in
mind when designing the
space. A farmhouse sink and
country cabinets can look out
of place in an ultra-modern
home.
DONT overlook the
importance of a seasoned
designer or architect. These
pros will know the tricks to
maximizing space and achieving the ideal layout of appliances and may be able to recommend local contractors
and vendors.
DO look beyond surface
details to the structural
integrity of the design. The
kitchen should be functional,

long-lasting and beautiful.


DONT design just for
today, but look to the future as
well. Unless you are willing to
spend $50,000 every five
years, look for styles and
materials that will last for the
long haul. Older homeowners
may want to make adjustments now that address
potential mobility issues down
the road.
DO work with what you
have. A complete demolition
and renovation is not always
necessary to achieve the
desired results. Only invest in
major changes if something is
not working (such as having
to walk across the entire
kitchen to access the stove) or
is unsafe. Otherwise, minor
upgrades may do the trick.

DONT over-improve the


space. A fully equipped commercial kitchen may be handy
for a professional chef, but the
average person may not need
an industrial hood and indoor
pizza oven. When you make
excessive improvements, you
may not be able to recoup as
much of the money spent
because your home will not be
on par with the values of
homes in the neighborhood.
DO make sure you can
afford the project. Plan for
some unexpected purchases
and plan out the renovation
according to your budget.
Skimping on materials or
design because of lack of
money may leave you feeling
dissatisfied afterward.

Winter superfoods for optimal health


llnesses seem to peak during the winter
months. A tapped-out immune system as well
as dry, cold air may encourage the spread of
common viruses and bacterial infections more
easily. As a result, its important that men,
women and children take every step possible to
ward off sickness when the temperatures drop.
Dietary changes can make a world of difference, and more and more people are including
these proven superfoods in their winter diets.
Avocado: Avocado has high levels of essential
fatty acids and vitamin B6, which is important in
the biosynthesis of important neurotransmitters.
Foods high in B vitamins may be able to counteract some of the symptoms of winter-related
depression.
Pomegranate: This quirky fruit has vitamins C
and K, folate and potassium and is a good
source of fiber. Pomegranate has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help in reducing

joint pain and preventing strokes. Pomegranate


may also help the body fight viruses.
Cinnamon: Cinnamon has high levels of
antioxidants, and some studies point to cinnamon as a natural antibacterial agent. Cinnamon
also can help regulate blood-glucose levels,
which is beneficial for those with diabetes.
Prunes: Now widely referred to as dried
plums, prunes are an important source of
boron, which could prevent osteoporosis. High
in antioxidants, prunes help the body fight a
variety of illnesses.
Cabbage: Cabbage may be a key element in
the fight against cancer. Cabbage has phytochemicals that can protect the body against
cancer-causing free radicals. Its also a good
source of dietary fiber, which can stimulate a
sluggish digestive system.
Butternut squash: This food is packed with
carotenoids, which are stellar antioxidants. The

starches in this squash also have been found to


have anti-inflammatory properties.
Chestnuts: Chestnuts are worthy of inclusion
in anyones diet. Unlike many nuts, chestnuts
are relatively low in fat but
have high levels of protein.
Theyre also packed with
vitamin C and B vitamins.
