If
your aim is to be lively and robust in your 80s and 90s,
you'll need to learn some anti-aging secrets. Here are some
anti-aging tips that are the most frequently touted anti-aging
techniques.
* Eat a diet low in fat, high in complex carbohydrates.
The standard advice from the US government is to consume
5 fruits and vegetables and 3 servings of whole grains daily
for vitamins and minerals and the other healthful micronutrients
in plants. Drink five to eight 8-oz. glasses of water. Get
no more than about 30-35 percent of daily calories from
fat, with about 20 percent of that from unsaturated fat
(e.g., 1 percent milk, olive and canola oil); 15 percent
from protein; and the remaining calories from carbohydrates,
with an emphasis on complex carbohydrates like oatmeal,
whole wheat bread and wild rice.
* Build endurance and strength with exercise.
Regular aerobic exercise is a "must-do" for anyone
committed to slowing the aging process, agree experts. Hundreds
of studies show that exercise combats the loss of stamina,
muscle strength, balance, and bone density that increases
with age. The American Heart Association advises doing a
single set of eight to 15 repetitions, using eight to 10
exercises, two to three times a week for a comprehensive
strength-building program. If you are not a beginner, that's
about a 10-minute routine.

Food
prices are in the news these days—and on everybody's
mind. But rising food costs don't have to stop you from
eating fresh, natural, lovingly raised food. In fact, by
making a few changes in the way you shop and cook, you can
soften the blow of rising food prices and make your meals
even more delicious at the same time. What's the secret?
Making the best use of both the food's time and your time.
Keep
an eye on the calendar
Start with the food's time: The best way to save money on
wonderful local produce is to follow the seasons. But there's
a trick to this. Don't splurge on those first gorgeous ripe
tomatoes. Everyone wants them, and the price is high. "Wait
until the season's in full swing or even almost over, [then]
buy in the glut," says Rose Prince, a British food
writer who specializes in cooking high-quality food without
busting the budget. With fall approaching, now's the time
to look for bins of over-ripe peaches and big bags of dirt-cheap
tomatoes that farmers are struggling to sell before the
first freeze.

Tips:
Look
for pumpkins with a sturdy stem, this is the sign
of a healthy pumpkin. Don't lift the pumpkin by
the stem, this can damage the pumpkin and make it
age faster.
To preserve
a pumpkin, put the pumpkin in a wash tub of cold
water. If the pumpkin is carved, put the carved
part face down. Let the pumpkin float, and let the
insides fill with water. The pumpkin will absorb
the water and become very firm.

It's
Football Season: What to take to a Tailgate
People like hot and
hearty food for tailgating — big pots of chili, a
big stew, gumbo, goulash. It's also traditional to do things
that are grilled, like steaks with different sauces or burgers
(but it can be challenging to clean up a grill full of still-hot
coals). We suggest that bring your favorite one-pot meal.
If
you don't live too far from the football game, you can make
something hot at home, like a big pot of chili or stew,
and then dump it directly into a very clean cooler. If the
food is very, very hot when it goes in, it will retain heat
for hours. But if it is merely lukewarm, the food will hover
at a dangerous temperature that fosters bacteria growth.
Ladle up big bowls directly from the cooler.
