Tips for Better Living
Give Yourself a Hand ... Washing! (adapted from www.mayoclinic.org)
September typically marks the arrival of cooler weather and, often, the onset of seasonal sniffles.
One tried-and-true way to stay healthy is simply to wash your hands regularly and carefully. This
In a food processor, combine pitted
dates with 1 tablespoon oats. Blend until
dates are crumbly. In a small bowl, mix
the ground dates with the remaining oats,
spices, and pecans. Remove apple
cores, leaving the bottom 1/2 inch of
each apple intact. Widen the tops to
create plenty of room for the date filling
and then pierce in several places. Spoon
the filling generously into the apples, then
top each with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut
oil. Place each apple into a greased
muffin tin. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes,
or until apples are soft and topping is
golden brown. Serve this warm and spicy
(and sugar free!) treat as a delicious

means not only washing before preparing and eating food, but also after germ-spreading
activities, including shaking hands and discarding trash. Another helpful tip is to wash thoroughly
by lathering your hands with soap for at least 10 seconds, which is why some parents teach their
chilldren to sing the “Happy Birthday” song before rinsing off the soap! Lastly, it’s always a good
idea to keep a bottle of hand sanitizer handy (pun intended!) whenever you’re on the go.
