tips for health on talk show

[Guest guest]

On a popular talk show yesterday they had tips for longer life/better

health. These were given by the RealAge doctor (Dr Roizen - sp?) who runs

a RealAge websiteand by some other doctors on the show :

1) Use a paper filter when making coffee (even though there may be a metal

coffee filter in your machine) - it seems that the paper filters out some

bad stuff in coffee leaving only the beneficial ingredients.

2) eat the skins of fruits such as apples

3) eating pumpkin is beneficial for the skin

4) Whole grains lower cholesterol and is associated with long life

5) spinach is among the healthiest of veggies and is good for the eyes

6) 1/2 aspirin a day keeps the doctor away (162.5 mg)

7) eat a bit of healthy fat before dinner for greater satiety
