Wednesday's Woman

  • The more fruits and veggies, the better

    All national health organizations recommend eating five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables each day to promote good health and reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other chronic conditions.
    Fruits and veggies contribute to good health because they contain vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber and other essential nutrients. Most are low in fat and calories, high in fiber and contain no cholesterol.

  • Soccer community benefits from university success

    An important collegiate athletic event took place over several weekends late this fall. The University of Louisville men’s soccer team participated in the NCAA championship tournament. Unfortunately they lost the championship game by a score of 1-0 to the University of Akron.

    These are questions I could have posed to my uncle who died at the age of 59 just three weeks and three days after being diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer.

    Fill it with some toys, school supplies, candy, and maybe socks from a local discount store.

    Now ship it to a country where children have little access to the basic needs of survival, let alone a new doll or toy car.
