Syndrome up calories. If you're not athletically inclined, try to get additional exercise by walking more often, and gardening on the weekends. At the office, get off the elevator two or three floors before your stop and use the stairs: Use your lunch hour for a brisk walk or physical fitness class. In general, try to be more aware of how active you are and all the measures you can take to in­ clude more activity in your everyday tasks. Successfully avoiding the "weight-gain syndrome" doesn't mean you have to overdo it in your time off. Just combine a common sense diet and exercise regimen with a little per- serverance and you'll be on your way to looking and feeling fit. NEW DIRECTOR Gov. James R. Thompson has announced the ap­ pointment of Dr. Philip F. Gustafson as director of the new Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety. Gustafson, 55, a nuclear physicist, is director of the Division of Environmental Impact studies at Argonne National Laboratory. He is expected to join the department some time late in the year at a salary of $45,000. William O'Connor has been acting director since the depart­ ment began Oct. 1. If you're one of the millions in the 9 to 5'ers work force, you know how difficult it is > to find the time, energy and .enthusiasm for physical ; activity after a long day. You > really have to be disciplined {to be a full-time employee and a part-time athlete! But without some form of regular .'exercise and a carefully- balanced diet, many working adults develop weight problems. Fortunately, you don't have to work up a, strenuous sweat to whittle away a few unwanted pounds. Weight loss depends upon a very fundamental formula -- con­ suming less calories than you burn up. By following a few simple slimming guidelines and incorporating some easy exercises into your daily routine, you can look and feel fit without living like an athlete in training! First and foremost, always «. eat a variety of foods to obtain your daily- require­ ment* of the essential nutri­ ents. Active or in-active, all people need protein, carbo­ hydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water everyday. But less active people need to choose the f9ods that provide necessary nutrients without an excessive amount of calories. Diets that empha- s aite one type of nutrient -- i htgh protein or high-carbo- Hydrafce intake -- are not ] advocated by most nutri- • tionists because they may be detrimental to gpod health if followed for long periods and do- not help to restruc­ ture poor eating habits. Ran menus in advance -- in­ cluding snacks -- and buy only the foods you need. For weight-loss menus, reduce serving sizes and limit high- calorie foods. Substitute skim milk, buttermilk or low-fat milk for whole milk. Eat more poultry and fish. Trim fat from meats and broil, bake or pan-broil them instead of frying. Eat fruit or vegetable salads topped with reduced calorie dressings and choose nourishing snacks such as small portions of fruits, vegetables and cheese. By all 'means, give yourself some helpful psychological advantages. Don't completely eliminate your favorite high- calorie foods, but eat them less frequently and in smaller amounts. Don't skip break­ fast or lunch to cut calories. Each meal is vital to a balanced diet and skipping meals usually leads to un­ planned snacks. At meals, eat slowly so your body can reach a level of fullness and satisfaction before you over­ eat. For example, take only one bite at a time, placing your fork on the plate until your next bite. Savor your | food; allow the sensory feelings of taste and texture I awareness to develop. Elimi­ nate cream and sugar in your | coffee; limit alcoholic beverages. Finally, add more activity to your lifestyle to burn The McHenry Plaindealer 3812 W.

Keepin' Healthy Head lice infestation has become a national epidemic - with millions of cases reported each year. There-is a lot-of misin­ formation about head lice (pediculosis.) Lice in­ festation is not proof of poor personal "hygiene or a dirty house environment. They are not respecters of income levels. Head lice is com­ municable and can infect anyone, anywhere. So, children of all ages should be checked periodically, i In examining a child's head, it is important to remember that the female head louse lays her eggs near the root of the hair shaft. The first and most accessible places to check are the junction of the hair shaft and scalp at the nape of the neck and behind the ears. This is where lice usually settle down. It is possible for a person to have head lice and not experience the itching that afflicts most people. The lice are hard to see, but you can detect small, silvery egg cases attached to individual hairs if you look closely. In addition to checking for lice on the scalp, also check combs, brushes, towels, pillowcases, hats and other head coverings. Suppose you do find evidence of head lice. How do you get rid of them? Your school nurse or your physician can recommend an effective medical shampoo. These are easy to use, but follow the directions carefully. Once you've made certain that no one in your family has head lice or you have gotten rid of them, how do you keep them from coming back? First, clean all articles that might have lice or nits. Clothing, towels and bedlinens should be drycleaned or washed in hot, soapy water and ironed - on hot setting. You should *also disinfect combs, brushes, and similar items with the special medicated shampoo. If one person in a family, camp or school has head lice, there's a good chance others will, too. So check everyone and use the same treatment if necessary. If you want more in­ formation about head lice, contact the Illinois Depart­ ment of Public Health, Division of Disease Control, 535 W.
