NATIONAL BLOOD DONOR MONTH
The American Red Cross urges people to share their good health and
resolve to give blood regularly, beginning in January with National
Blood Donor Month. Below are key messages that can be relayed to
donors while scheduling appointments.
• Extreme winter weather in some parts of the country and seasonal
illnesses often make it difficult for the American Red Cross to maintain a
sufficient blood supply at this time of year. Healthy individuals are urged
to give now.
• The Red Cross must collect more than 13,000 blood donations every day
for patients in need.
• Do you know someone who has never donated before? Please encourage
them to make an appointment with you. Without more donors, patients
will not have the blood they need.

MO’ MONEY, NO PROBLEMS!
STAY DISCIPLINED WITH YOUR SAVINGS
• Just do it! Pay yourself first! • Gather all important financially-related
documents and receipts to a central location. File them so you will be
able to easily find the items you need in the future. Consider a computer
based financial program so you can keep track of every dime you spend
- financial control is a special form of power! • Spending every dime and
more? Start by cutting back on a few items per week and putting away
that money. Pay yourself first. Just say no to spending more than you have.
• Ask for direct deposit at work if they offer it - you’re saving money and
you don’t even see it. A savings plan at work that pays you a “matching
contribution” is the fastest way to save. Pay yourself first! • Use credit
cards responsibly make sure you can make the monthly payment. Ideally
pay the balance off each month. You will never have a late payment (now

12 January 2020 | The BarkerCOMMON VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES
As we embark on the journey each day to eat and live better, take note of
the common vitamin nutrient deficiencies that are easily treated:
1. Calcium: Calcium is important for maintaining strong bones and
controlling muscle and nerve function. Signs of severely low calcium
include fatigue, muscle cramps, abnormal heart rhythms and a poor
appetite. Make sure you’re getting enough with at least three servings of
milk or yogurt a day. Other good sources of calcium are cheese, calcium-
fortified orange juice and dark, leafy greens.
2. Vitamin D: This vitamin is also critical for bone health. Symptoms
of a vitamin D deficiency can be vague - fatigue and muscle aches or
weakness. If it goes on long term, a vitamin D deficiency can lead to
softening of the bones. To get enough vitamin D, have three servings
of fortified milk or yogurt daily eating fatty fish, such as salmon or tuna,
twice a week; and spend some time outside in the sunshine every day. PROTECT YOUR WORLD
3. Potassium: Potassium helps the kidneys, heart and other organs
work properly. You could become low in potassium in the short term
because of diarrhea or vomiting, excessive sweating or antibiotics or
because of chronic conditions such as eating disorders and kidney
disease, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Symptoms of WARREN SLOAN
a deficiency include weight loss, muscle weakness, constipation and in 713-464-4442

Spaghetti Squash
You could make this on National Spaghetti Day January
4th! Everyone is trying to be a little healthier these days,
so instead of a pasta spaghetti, try using spaghetti
squash:
DIRECTIONS:
1. To start, cut your squash in half lengthwise. This is
definitely the hardest part of making spaghetti squash,
but with a sharp chef’s knife and some determination
you’ll do just fine.
2. Remove the seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil
and season with salt and pepper. Flip the squash cut-side
down on a baking sheet.
3. Pop it in a 400°F oven for 40 minutes. Depending on
the size of your squash, this could take more like an
hour. If 40 minutes have passed and you’re not sure if the
squash is ready, pull it out of the oven and drag the tines
of a fork on the cut side. If spaghetti-like strands easily
release from the skin, it’s ready. If not, continue baking
and check on it every 5 to 10 minutes. Over-roasting can
lead to soggier “spaghetti,” so it’s best to keep a close eye
on the squash.
4. Shred it! When it’s ready, let cool slightly before creating
“spaghetti” with your fork.
Top with spaghetti sauce or for an even healthier and
lower calorie option, go with a marinara sauce.
