Lamb, M .D . . News Amer ica Serv ice Doctors can give exercise tips DEAR DR. LAMB: After extensive tests, X-rays and a treadmill electrocardiogram I was told I am a diabetic and have degenerative heart disease. I am 74. As a child I had rheumatic fever. The cardiologist says I must walk every day. He did not say how far. Can you suggest an appropriate distance? DEAR READER: I wish had asked your doctor that question, as he knows what medicines you are taking, and some medicines do affect how you Judge your exercise capacity. He also knows what your resting heart rate is and how much exercise you can do for a given heart rate that is safe for you. That is one of the purposes of an exercise test, to find out such things before you advise a patient to exercise. I also wish that every doctor who does an exercise test would write down exactly what his patient can and should do for his exercise program -- what we call an exercise prescription. I would like to urge all my readers who have an exercise test to request a written exercise prescription after the test. Assuming that you are not taking any medicines such as beta-blockers that affect your heart rate, and you *don't have heart block that causes a slow heart rate, your pulse rate is your best guide that you can use regularly to determine how much work your heart is doing. You certainly don't want to overwork your heart. So take your heart rate before you start walking and don't walk so fast or so far that is exceeds 100. If you were younger and had no heart disease, that rate could be higher. You will find you can walk farther and farther and still be at a heart rate of 100 or less as your walking program progresses. Stay within this limit unless you get an OK from your cardiologist to do more. I suspect you will be surprised how short your walk is at first. You will get some more tips on exercise from The Health Letter 15-12, "Exercise Wise," which I am sending you. Others who want this issue can so>d 75 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope, P.O. Box 19622, Irvine, CA 92713. If you get tired or develop chest pain, stop exercising at once. Try to respect your leg muscles, too, by not walking so much that you develop muscle soreness. Sore muscles mean too much exercise, which slows your program rather than helping. D E A R D R . L A M B : I ' m a vegetarian, but not in the strict sense. Basically, I stay away from all pork and beef with the exception of beef or calves liver. I do eat poultry of all kinds, fish, eggs, and dairy products. I do not eat white bread. I eat mostly w h o l e - g r a i n b r e a d . A l s o , I n e v e r f r y c foods. My relatives think I'm crazy. They think the vegetarian diet I feed my family is not healthy Just because my four-year-old Is slim instead of chubby. They think that the child is really missing out on the good things in life Just because there no hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, french fries, soft drinks, Kool-Aid or candy. I tell them we're better off without them. Tell us what you think about this diet. Is there anything wrong with it? DEAR READER: You are certainly not a vegetarian. Eliminating beef and pork from your diet will not be important, health-wise, if you get sufficient complete protein from chicken and fish. In fact, from a point of view of having a diet low in saturated fat, yours is superior to what most people eat If you want to limit ' cholesterol intake, though, you will need to limit the eggs, which would be fine too. A good time to estah"<sN j lifelong eating habits is during • childhood. Chubby is not healthy. \ CROSSWORD BARBS A- ACROSS 3 Pelvic bor By Dave Graue Alley Oop ...

Inc By James Jacoby Newspaper Enterpr ise Assoc ia t ion Odds getting better Any declarer should be happy to reach a slam that will make better than 80 percent of the time. That was the story of today's six-heart contract, which would make if either the spade king or the club queen was in the West hand. Without the opening lead of a spade, there was the further chance that clubs would split 3-3, even if the club queen was wrong. With a spade lead, there would be no choice except to try the immediate finesse; if that lost, the club finesse would still be left. However, the opening lead was the king of diamonds, and now an expert declarer does not have to settle for better than an 80 percent play -- as the cards lie, he can make the con­ tract 100 percent of the time. Because the defenders' diamonds split 4-4, the declarer can make an ^unusual end play. Declarer won the ace of diamonds and trumped a diamond high, led a low heart to the eight, trumped anoth­ er diamond high and led to dummy's nine of hearts. Now the last diamond was ruffed, both opponents following. Declarer played a low club, intending to insert the seven, but West played the eight. Dummy's ace won the trick, a heart was played to the South hand, and another club was led. West had to play the 10, which was covered by dummy's jack, and East won the queen. But now poor East had to play into the club A-7 or the spade A-Q. Curtains for the defense!
