Q & A —SAY NO TO TRANS FAT.
Q: I keep reading about trans fat. What is it, and why isn’t it good for me?
A: Trans-fatty acids (know as trans fats, hydrogenated fats, or partially hydrogenated fats) are made by adding hydrogen to liquid vegetable oil. Eating trans fats clog arteries-like bacon grease clogs your kitchen sink-and can cause heart disease. These fats raise total cholesterol and also lower the “good cholesterol” that helps prevent heart problems. Food companies started using trans fats because they give products a longer shelf life. The good news is that some are eliminating them because of health risk. Look for packages marked “no trans fats,” or check the trans fat line on food labels-0% is best! Foods most likely to have trans fats include potato chips, crackers, cookies, microwave popcorn, donuts, margarine, and vegetable shortening.

Don’t go to the Thanksgiving dinner hungry: we often eat faster and more when we are hungry – therefore eat a wholesome breakfast and lunch on the day to avoid overeating at dinner time.

Thanksgiving dinner is not an all-you-can-eat buffet: Fill your plate half with vegetables, one quarter with a lean meat and the rest with a starch of your choice. Eat slowly and stop when you are full.

Turkey – go skinless: choose your 4-oz turkey portion skinless to slash away some fat and cholesterol. Save your appetite for the side dishes and desserts.

Side Dishes – watch your portion size: go for smaller portions. This way you can sample all the different foods. Moderation is always the key.

The Michigan no-fault system was adopted in 1973 to increase the level of benefits paid to injured persons, make sure such payments are made promptly, and reduce the proportion of premium dollars paid out for legal and administrative costs.

A Michigan no-fault policy provides unlimited medical and rehabilitation benefits. It provides wage loss benefits for up to three years, and $20 per day for replacement services if you are injured in an auto accident, regardless of fault. In exchange for these benefits, Michigan motorists gave up the right to sue in auto accidents except when someone is killed or very seriously injured. Because of this, disputes over who was at-fault in an accident will not hold up payment of medical bills. Michigan is unique in that damage to vehicles also falls under the no-fault system. This, too, saves time and money in claims payment. Michigan drivers must buy collision and/or comprehensive insurance to cover damage to their own car.
