As you prepare that wonderful Thansgiving dinner this year, don’t forget to include some of the colors of fall. The bright orange color of pumpkin, sweet potato and winter squash is a sign that these foods contain high levels of beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A and a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substance. Studies have indicated that persons eating a diet rich in beta-carotene have a reduced risk of heart disease, some cancers and degenerative diseases such as arthritis. So be sure to make the table colorful, to compliment the turkey.

And while your looking into making the food better on the table you may want to start looking at the sugar content of the foods you eat. One thing we seem to overlook is the affects of high blood sugar levels. So St. John’s is here to help with a FREE blood glucose screening set for Wednesday, November 29th from 7:30 to 10 am at our Health Connection location inside Northpark Mall. We will also offer free blood pressure checks as well. For more information, call St. John’s Referral One at 625-2000 or log onto stj.com.
