 1. Parent tip on preventing Lyme Disease: www.child.com 
 
 After children have been playing outside, especially in wooded areas, 
 the best way to prevent Lyme Disease is to inspect for ticks. Ticks have a 
 tendency to attach to the back, chest, and underarms. It is also a good 
 idea to apply insect repellent containing 10% DEET.

 3. Just the facts!
 
 A recent study appearing in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition 
 found that increasing intake of fiber and fruit significantly reduces heart
 disease risks.
 
 Scientists compared the diets of 171 patients with a history of heart 
 attacks to those without heart disease. Results showed that patients 
 consuming the highest amount of fiber slashed their heart-disease risks
 by 86%. Patients consuming large quantities of fruit also enjoyed 
 reduced heart-disease risks. However, eating vegetables or legumes 
 did not affect chances of heart disease.

 Why is folic acid so important?
 Folic acid is a B vitamin that can help prevent birth defects 
 of the brain and spinal cord called neural tube defects (NTDs). 
 Folic acid works to prevent these birth defects only if taken 
 before pregnancy and in the first few weeks of pregnancy.
 
 Since NTDs originate in the first month of pregnancy, before 
 many women know they are pregnant, it is important for a woman 
 to have enough folic acid in her system before conception. 
 Folic acid is recommended for all women of childbearing age 
 because 50 percent of pregnancies in this country are unplanned.
 Studies show that, if all women consumed the recommended 
 amount of this vitamin, beginning before conception and 
 continuing into the first month of pregnancy, up to 70 
 percent of all NTDs could be prevented.
 
 The most common NTDs are spina bifida and anencephaly. 
 Spina bifida, often called open spine, affects the backbone 
 and, sometimes, the spinal cord. Children with the severe 
 form of spina bifida have some degree of leg paralysis and 
 bladder and bowel control problems. Anencephaly is a fatal 
 condition in which a baby is born with a severely underdeveloped 
 brain and skull.
 
 The March of Dimes recommends that all women who can 
 become pregnant take a multivitamin that contains 400 
 micrograms of folic acid every day and eat a healthy diet. 
 This is the only sure way a woman can get all the folic 
 acid and other vitamins she needs. Most women get less 
 than half of the recommended amount of folic acid daily.
 
 The Institute of Medicine also recommends that women 
 eat a diet rich in foods that contain folate or folic acid. 
 Folate is the natural form of folic acid that is found in foods.
 Orange juice, other citrus fruits and juices, leafy green
 vegetables, beans, peanuts, broccoli, asparagus, peas, lentils 
 and whole grain products all contain folate. Synthetic 
 (manufactured) folic acid is added to certain grain products, 
 including flour, rice, pasta, cornmeal, bread and cereals. 
 These foods are considered "fortified" with folic acid.
