Lose weight,
fight hunger
(Oklahoma City) Two of
the biggest problems faced
by Oklahomans today are
obesity and hunger. To
combat these issues, the
Regional Food Bank of
Oklahoma, through Feed-
ing America , has part-
nered with NBC's The
Biggest Loser once again
to support the Pound For
Pound Challenge, which
will help Oklahomans lose
weight and feed the com-
munity in need.
Danny Cahill, winner of
The Biggest Loser, Season
8 and Oklahoma resident,
lost a record-breaking 239
pounds on the show.
"My weight loss has
changed my life in many
ways; I no longer live in
fear of dying," said Cahill.
"I can be a better father and
husband, as well as friend. I
was given a second chance
by The Biggest Loser, so
I find it important to give
others a second chance
by inspiring and motivat-
ing them to change their
lives."
As a member of the
Regional Food Bank's
Celebrity Council, Cahill is
working to motivate others
to lose weight and help their
local food banks by sign-
ing up for the Challenge
atPFPChallenge.com. For
every pound pledged and
lost, General Mills will
donate 14 cents to Feeding
America, who will then
distribute the donations
to Food Banks across the
country, including the
Regional Food Bank of
Oklahoma. Participants
can also see how-our state
ranks on the interactive
map of the United States
on the Pound For Pound
Challenge website.
Oklahomans are encour-
aged to watch The Biggest
Loser every Tuesday at
7 p.m. CST on NBC and
participate in the Pound for
Pound challenge by signing
up atPFPChallenge.com.
More than 3.5 million
pounds were pledged in
last year's Pound for Pound
Challenge.
Last year, Pound for
Pound Challenge partici-
pants raised $3,700 for the
Regional Food Bank of
Oklahoma.
"One in five children
in our state struggle with
hunger every day," said
Rodney Bivens, executive
director of the Regional
Food Bank of Oklahoma.
"This is simply not accept-
able. Through the Pound
for Pound Challenge, Okla-
homans can join together to
make a positive change in
their own lives - and the
lives of hungry children.
We thank The Biggest
Loser, General Mills, and
Feeding America for help-
ing to make Oklahoma a
healthier place to live."

Resolutions for a healthy 2010
OKLAHOMA CITY
-- Lose weight. Eat better.
Exercise more.
Sound familiar? If you've
made some or all of these
popular New Year's resolu-
tions in the past, you prob-
ably ended up like the vast
majority of Americans, who
fail to make good on their
January 1 pledges.
"When it comes to New
Year's resolutions, or any
goals we set out, the key is
in the specifics," said Okla-
homa Medical Research
is your aim, he recommends
trying to map out small,
tangible, one-day-at-a-time
goals.
"Instead of a vague reso-
lution like 'get in better
shape this year,' reduce it
to a concrete plan," he said.
"Pledge to exercise three
times a week for at least 30
minutes."
To improve your diet,
resolve to eat at least one
brightly colored vegetable
at lunch and dinner each
day. "Generally, the brighter
the color, the more nutrients
and antioxidants vegetables
contain," he said.
That means carrots and
sweet potatoes for orange.
Beets and tomatoes for red.
Broccoli and spinach for
green. "Not only will this

The blood supply for Oklaho-
mans remains at a critical-need
level, according to Oklahoma
Blood Institute (OBI). Drops
in blood donation due to the
weather and holidays, as well
as increases in injuries, surger-
ies and other medical needs of
Oklahomans in nearly 150
medical facilities, have tapped
the blood inventory.
"We are very fortunate to
have the dedicated Oklahoma
donors, but the goal hasn't
been reached yet," says Dr.
Armitage, M.D., Oklahoma
Blood Institute President and
CEO. "As of now, there are
adequate supplies of blood
to meet the patients' needs
in nearly 150 state medical
facilities we serve: HO0vever,i
the anticipated ne'&l+ within
the next few days is far greater
than the number of donors
expected."

A great way to improve
your health, said Prescott, is
to get more sleep. "Adults
who don't get enough sleep
are at higher risk for heart
attack, stroke and obesity
than those who are well
rested. So a simple resolu-
tion for an earlier bedtime
is the first step toward better
health."
He suggests picking a
wake-up time, then working
back at least seven hours.
"That means if you want to

to be asleep by 11:00 p.m.

Even making and keeping
a single resolution is a big
step. "If that one resolution

year," said Prescott, "you
can always add another
