REFRIGERATOR
RESCUE
WHAT ARE
THE ODDS
of developing
diabetes?
PHOTOS BY THINKSTOCK
New estimates show that
two in five Americans
will develop type 2
diabetes. People who
are overweight and
inactive are more likely
to get type 2 diabetes. In
fact, doctors have coined
the term "diabesity" to
reflect the link between
the diabetes and
obesity epidemics.
When a storm knocks out the juice to your
refrigerator, how long will the food keep?
Four hours for the fridge (and 48 hours
for a full freezer) during a power outage
is the rule of thumb, according to the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Remember these other tips:
3 Keep the refrigerator door closed.
3 Never taste food to determine
its safety.
3 Trash any meat, poultry, fish, eggs or
leftovers that have been stored above
40 degrees for more than two hours.
3 If a big storm is coming, freeze containers of
water to help keep food cold in the freezer, group
food together in the freezer, and have ice-filled coolers
on standby.
JARGON
WATCH
COMORBIDITY sounds so, well, morbid-
like a horror flick co-starring Freddy and Jason.
In reality, this term simply refers to two or more
chronic diseases that occur together.
ASPIRIN'S
DOUBLE DUTY
If your doctor has recommended daily low-dose aspirin, you
already know that aspirin may protect the heart by preventing the formation of blood clots.
A recent study suggests that everyday aspirin use may
also protect against colon, stomach and esophageal cancers.
Aspirin is known to reduce platelets in the blood, which are
believed to distribute cancer cells in the body.
But don't pop the pills without consulting your
doctor. Daily aspirin use has side effects including
increased risk for stomach bleeding, especially if
used in conjunction with alcohol.
