Could your diet use a nutritional tune-up? A healthful diet has many

dairy, and keep an eye on your portion size. Aim for balance, variety,
flexibility and moderation.

Health Tip of the Day
Clearing Up Dandruff
Dandruff shampoo should be rubbed into your hair thoroughly and not rinsed out for five minutes. Start by using the shampoo daily until your dandruff is controlled, then use it two to three times a week, says the American Academy of Family Physicians. If you use the shampoo, but see no improvement in a month, talk to your doctor about an alternative treatment.
