Your week
YOUR HEALTH
Could your diet use some spring cleaning? Prevention magazine offers suggestions for starting to eat more wholesome, healthy foods without totally reinventing your menus:
• Assess what part of your diet supplies the most calories. If you’re an omnivore, buy meat from grass-fed cattle and eggs from pasture-raised chickens, but stick to conventional produce. If you’re a vegetarian, buying organic produce makes more sense.
• Instead of eliminating all processed foods, study labels and choose those with fewer and simpler ingredients.
• If you’re used to eating food with lots of salt, sugar, fat and other additives, you’ll need to retrain your taste buds. For instance, if you don’t like the taste of brown rice, mix it with white (in decreasing amounts) until you adapt. Instead of switching immediately to low-sodium soups, mix a regular can with a low-sodium version. It can take up to 12 weeks for taste buds to adjust.

YOUR HOME
Now you can grease up for a good cause.
WD-40 is honoring military members and veterans with its Military Collectible Series of four specially designed cans, each honoring a branch of the armed services.
The special cans are available through Memorial Day. For each one sold, WD-40 will donate 10 cents to military charities.
Buyers will also get codes that unlock humorous online videos starring former drill instructor R. Lee Ermey training civilians how to use WD-40 to solve problems around the house.
