Current tips:
Ways to enhance your diet using more vegetables (Oct.): Eat at least one colored vegetable every day. Enjoy a raw salad composed of three or more vegetables every day. Eat a member of the cabbage family at least three times per week. Don't compromise the nutritional quality of your vegetables by overcooking. Select fresh vegetables in season whenever possible.	Tips for getting adequate rest (Sept.): Have regular hours for bedtime each night. Don't allow computers, TV, and food in the bedroom. Make the bedroom a quiet, dark place conducive to sound sleeping. Avoid late evening meals and intense mental work just before retiring to bed. Recharge your batteries with an annual family vacation to some favorite destination.
