Pu Much of the subject matter in this issue is in response to questions
posed by our readership. Keep it up, and we will post and answer those
questions for you in future issues.
Most readers are concerned with staying healthy. As we all know, good
health begins with a healthy body weight. Read 20 Ways to Cut 500 Calories
a Day, and Obesity Solutions, and practice better eating habits. Jodi
Harrison takes the blame away from age; Fit & Fabulous at 50 proves that
a healthy diet and exercise will increase your metabolism, thereby making
your body more efficient and burn more calories.

in Facts about Depression and Healthy Winter Skin. Get the tips and
solutions!

page and calendar of events, what I call the “fun stuff.” We have also
included some uplifting reading: Resolve to Laugh More, and Skiing toward
Enlightenment.
Generations wants to help you look your best with tips on hair color,
fashions that flatter, accessorizing and putting it all together.
Finally, as this year is underway and with hope for a stronger economy,
our financial department can answer some of your questions about
forming a household budget, smart investment choices and common
pitfalls to avoid when financing your child’s education.
Winter is a time when we bundle up and hunker down. The
cold nights keep us at home, so enjoy a hot meal (maybe a hearty
bowl of soup), a warm fire and a good movie.
The shortest day of the year has passed, and you can now
notice minute by minute, the days getting longer, as another
winter will soon pass on and we look forward to the first signs
of spring.

condition like psoriasis or eczema.
Blowing winds, extreme cold, and dry, indoor air can
dehydrate even the most balanced skin. Trick your skin
into thinking it’s spring with these moisture preserving
ideas.
Switch up your moisturizer. Try an oil-based (rather
than water-based) moisturizer. For areas like the feet,
elbows, and hands that often become irritated, chapped,
and split, use an ointment-style moisturizer containing
80% oil to reverse extreme dryness.
Turn down the heat when you bathe. A hot shower
may warm you, but it wears out your skin. Skip a day
between showers or baths and keep the water
temperature lukewarm.
Always use sunscreen. According to the American
Academy of Family Physicians, the reflective power of the
sun is 80% on snow. Even when grey skies seem to
overshadow the sun, its rays are still around to dry out
your skin. The Academy recommends you apply a heavy
layer of moisturizer that contains SPF 30 before going

Protect your hands. Your hands’

Soup is Good
for the Soul
Growing up, when the weather turned cold,
Monday was always soup night. I continue this
tradition for my family. The soup is always fresh,
and always from scratch. It is one of the easiest
meals to prepare, and one of my favorites.
The basic chicken or beef soup can have many
variations. Use your favorite vegetables to create
something special; add your leftovers and create a
new meal. When preparing a soup utilize all the
vegetable parts. Add celery tops, leaves, parsley
leaves and stems (stems hold more flavor) neck
bones and any parts of the chicken except the
chicken liver; when boiled the liver will alter the
chicken broth, making it muddy and unclear. Cook
potatoes separately just until tender and add to
soup at the end. Do not overcook
potatoes.
Anything can be added to a basic
soup. Use a variety of grains, pastas BASIC CHICKEN SOUP
