Pennsylvania Adult Learners To Benefit From Penn State Endowed Scholarship (University Park, Pa.) -- Penn State alumni from Palmyra, Pennsylvania have established the Dan and Agnes Mazur Family Adult Learner Scholarship in the World Campus, Penn State’s online cam-pus. “We are grateful to Dan and Agnes Ma-zur for their very generous commitment to Penn State adult learners,” said Craig Weidemann, vice president for Outreach and vice provost for Online Education. “This gift will provide invaluable support to students balancing multiple responsi-bilities as they pursue their education.” Adults living in 20 Pennsylvania coun-ties who are enrolled or planning to en-roll in World Campus online undergradu-ate education programs will be eligible for the annual Mazur Family scholarship. The scholarship gives preference to stu-dents who reside in one of the following Pennsylvania counties: Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Cameron, Centre, Clearfi eld, Clinton, Elk, Fayette, Fulton, Huntingdon, Indiana, Jefferson, Juniata, Lebanon, Mc-Kean, Miffl in, Potter, Somerset or West-moreland. Penn State defi nes adult learners as 24 years old or older; or veterans and active-duty service members; or people returning to school after four or more years of em-ployment, homemaking or other activity; or people with multiple adult roles such as those of parent, spouse/partner, employee

and student. “We are both fi rst-generation college graduates,” said Dan Mazur. “Penn State has made a difference in our lives, and we want to make a similar signifi cant impact in students’ lives. Our experiences with Penn State Outreach and Online Educa-tion programs made us aware of the needs of adult learners and helped us focus our gift plans.” Agnes Mazur added, “For individuals who don’t go to college and then fi nd they can’t support their families on what they are earning, higher education can be the answer. We want our gift to help these adults earn a Penn State degree.” Dan Mazur earned B.S. in business lo-gistics (1970) and M.B.A. (1971) degrees from the Smeal College of Business. Ag-nes English Mazur earned a B.A. in French (1974) at Penn State and a master’s degree in elementary education at West Chester University. All three of their children,

Timothy, Kathleen and Patrick, attended Penn State as well. Originally from Cresson, Cambria County, Dan Mazur spent 38 years in the railroad industry. He was vice president of strategic planning with Norfolk Southern at the time of his retirement in 2008. He is a member of the Penn State Outreach and Online Education Advisory Board. Agnes Mazur, originally from Baltimore, taught elementary grades in Chester County and has served as an adult literacy volunteer. Dan Mazur will receive the Fischer Family Award of Distinction for his phi-lanthropy and service at the Outreach and Online Education Appreciation Dinner, slated for Oct. 23. The Fischer Family Award recognizes friends, donors, alumni and volunteers who have distinguished themselves through extraordinary service to advance the Outreach vision at Penn State.

“Green Light-Go” Traffic Signal Program (Harrisburg) – A new program made possible by Act 89, Pennsylvania’s far-reaching transportation plan, will clear the way for traffi c signal improvements that could dramatically ease congestion, PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch an-nounced today. PennDOT’s “Green Light-Go” program will assist municipalities with traffi c sig-nal operations, allowing them to make needed improvements. “Our ‘Green Light-Go’ program, which is only possible because of Act 89, is aimed at helping fi nancially-strapped mu-nicipalities get a jump on upgrading their traffi c signals,” Schoch said. “By using state-of-the-art signal systems that can be

timed to maximize traffi c fl ow, motorists will notice quicker commute times and less time sitting in traffi c.” Municipalities can now apply to PennDOT for funding to make signal im-provements on state-owned highways. Projects on corridors with fewer than 10,000 vehicles per day will be managed by the municipality, and PennDOT will manage projects with signals on corridors that have greater than 10,000 vehicles per day. Both types of projects will require a 50 percent match from the municipality. Act 89, which Gov. Tom Corbett signed in November 2013, makes up to $10 million available for traffi c signal improvements in the current fi scal year. The Act 89 allo-cation rises to up to $25 million in 2015-16 and up to $40 million in 2016-17 and thereafter.The deadline for municipal applications is Nov. 14, 2014. Materials about applying for the program can be found at:

“The Bergdahl Swap ” -by Bob Perry The Army is refusing to release the results of the investigation into the sus-pected desertion of PFC Bowe Bergdahl who walked off his base in Afghanistan in 2009. In addition, an Army spokes-man announced there are no plans to disclose the fi ndings. The release of this sensitive information will likely come after the November midterm elections on November 4th in order to minimize any affects on the elections. As we know, Bergdahl’s release was orchestrated by the Obama Adminis-tration by negotiating with the enemy which was out-of-bounds. The Admin-istration argued that Bergdhal’s health was seriously degraded and his condi-tion grave but as we found out after the Taliban released him his health was not as claimed. There is reportedly a video used as some sort of evidence to Berg-dahl’s health but the White House, Pentagon and the State Department have all refused to release it. Out front there was our US National Security Advisor Susan Rice claiming Berghdal was a hero and “He served with honor and distinction”. Such a claim before any investigation was completed is another incident of Ms. Rice speaking before having in-depth knowledge. How did she ever get this job? Surely the fi ndings may well be edited and include redactions to mini-mize any negative reactions.

If, in fact, Bergdahl is found to have been a deserter, the trade made by the Obama Administration, known as the most controversial prisoner exchange in US history, will take on a new light and will haunt the legacy of President Obama. The Swap that took place, which was done illegally, as the Ad-ministration is legally bound to notify Congress as to any such exchange. Any claim made by the Administra-tion to “leaving no man behind” holds no water because the ‘war on terror’ is not over, and prisoner exchange was not timely. The Swap was in NO way a fair exchange when a suspected desert-er was exchanged for fi ve of the ‘worst of the worst’ who became known as the ‘Taliban Five’. These fi ve are admittedly to return to battle the US in some way and the blood of their deeds will be on those who initiated and conducted the Swap. If Bergdahl is found guilty of desertion he faces the possibility of facing a fi r-ing squad. If so, will President Obama grant leniency or decline as President Eisenhower did in 1944? If the Army fails to release the results of the investigation it will be a failure of transparency at the highest level. Remember to VOTE on Tuesday, No-vember 4th! Know the candidates and their positions.

A photo from the Bradford Exchange Club’s 11th Annual Child Abuse Pre-vention Bowling Expo event, submitted too late for last week’s edition, is found within this issue. But for the most part, other photos in the paper come from the Sixth Biennial Reunion of the Brad-ford Area High School Alumni Associa-tion. The well-attended, well-orchestrat-ed event was held at the Bradford Club, October 11th, and a high percentage of local members attended. Names on the nametags were the right size to be read, the program was well designed, the din-ner was great, and the MC for the even-ing, Bill Moore, the association’s Presi-dent, did a spectacular job entertaining the crowd. While some members came in from locations as far away as Florida, most of those in attendance arrived from places within a half hours drive from the event. Fifteen photos are to be found in this issue but many more can be seen in the gallery associated with it. The videos taken during the program, while not spec-tacular, will give the reader a better idea of the tone of the event…….. New on the food front this week, the Main Street Broaster is now open for business from 11AM until 8PM on most days of the week, and the Kennedy Street Café is now offering free coffee with every Big Break-fast……..Advertisers looking for your attention on our “It’s Time To Winter-ize!” page are as follows: Burns & Burns Associates, Inc., Timeless Treasures Gift Shop, Hedlund Glass, Main Street Broast-er, How Ya Brewing, Bradford Post #108 Friday Kitchen, The New Keystone, and Tasta Pizza……..People have a tenden-cy to forget lots of the mean stuff that politicians do to them, or for others that causes collateral damage, re-electing the same offi cials when their term is up. This would therefore be a good time to remind our readers what the non-partisan Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center said about Governor Corbett’s Healthy PA plan to provide health care in-surance for low income and working poor citizens, following his obstruction of the original Affordable Care Act: “#1. that the plan will be unaffordable for many low-income working families, and will limit access to critical health services, and #2. that Pennsylvania’s delay (read Corbett’s delay) has left nearly 500,000 citizens without coverage for a full year.” And on top of this, we should also remember that many of the 500,000 people who are now without medical insurance, had been cov-ered by affordable/limited-service health care policy’s that the Governor allowed to expire, likely to fund this year’s Penn-sylvania Road and Bridge Repair Projects. What a brute!

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESFlexible Spending Accounts, Commuter Benefi ts Cut Your Taxes

-by Jason Alderman For millions of Americans, 2015 open enrollment for employer-provided benefi ts is right around the corner. While it may be tempting to simply opt for the same cover-age you have this year, doing so could cost you hundreds – or thousands – of dollars in tax savings. Have I captured your attention? Find out if your employer offers fl ex-ible spending accounts (FSAs). They let you pay for eligible out-of-pocket health-care and/or dependent care expenses on a pre-tax basis – that is, before federal, state, local and Social Security taxes have been deducted from your paycheck. Also look for a commuter benefi t plan, where you can pay for certain workplace mass transit and parking expenses with pretax dollars. By contributing to an FSA or commuter plan to cover expenses you would have paid for anyway, you reduce your taxable income by that amount, which in turn lowers your tax bill. Here’s how it can add up: Say you’re married, jointly earn $90,000 a year and contribute 5 percent to a 401(k). If you contribute $2,000 to a healthcare FSA and $4,000 for dependent care, your resulting net income, after taxes, would be roughly $1,700 more than if you had paid for those expenses on an after-tax basis. Use the FSA calculator at www.dinkytown.net to evaluate your own situation. And, with a commuter plan, you can use pretax dollars to pay for up to $130 a month in transit expenses (bus, train, van-pool, etc.) and $250 a month in qualifi ed parking expenses and reap the same kind of tax benefi t. You can use a healthcare FSA to pay for any IRS-allowed medical expenses not covered by your medical, dental or vision plans. This includes deductibles, copay-ments, orthodontia, glasses, prescription drugs, chiropractic, smoking cessation programs and many more. Note: Over-the-counter medications, except for insu-lin, require a doctor’s prescription to be eligible. (See IRS Publication 502.) Dependent care FSAs let you use pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible expenses re-lated to care for your child, spouse, parent or other dependent incapable of self-care. Eligible expenses include: • Fees for licensed daycare and adult care facilities. • Amounts paid for services provided in or outside your home so that you and your spouse can work, look for work, or attend school full-time. • Before- and after-school programs for dependents under age 13. • Babysitting by relatives over age 19 who aren’t your dependent. For some lower-income families, the

federal income tax dependent care tax credit is more advantageous than an FSA so crunch the numbers or ask a tax expert which alternative is best. Note: You can-not claim the same expenses under both tax breaks. Keep in mind these FSA restrictions: • The IRS limits employee contribu-tions to healthcare FSAs to $2,500 a year. • The dependent care FSA contri-bution limit is $5,000 if you’re single or married fi ling jointly. • Healthcare and dependent care ac-count contributions are not interchange-able. • Outside of open enrollment, you can only make mid-year FSA changes af-

ter a major life or family status change. • You must re-enroll in FSAs each year. You’ll also need to estimate planned healthcare FSA expenses carefully or risk having to forfeit your unused account bal-ance. Employers may choose to either: offer a grace period of up to 2 ½ months after the plan year’s end to incur expenses; or allow you to carry over up to $500 to use in the following year. With commuter plans you can change contribution amounts throughout the year whenever your needs change; you can also carry over unused funds from month to month.

AREA SOCIAL NEWSBradford TOPS #16

Article submitted The Thursday, October 9, meeting of Tops PA #16 at the First Presbyterian Church had a roll call of 29 weigh-ins with a loss of 17 and three quarter pounds. Silvana Reed is loser in waiting and Vickie Johnson is loser of the week. Happy Birthday this week to Barb Tor-rey. Forbidden for the week is sweets. Fashion Tip from Jean Miller: “Snap clip on earrings on to fl ats for an in-stant evening shoe, or on to shirt col-lars for an embellishments.” Bev Han-non’s inspiration: “In a thousand years archaeologists will dig up tanning beds and think we fried people as punish-ment.” Elaine Harris’s Healthy information tips: Healthier Sugars, excess sweeten-ers can be a health hazard, and they are added to just about everything. One of the worst offenders, researchers say: high-fructose corn syrup. That’s why Starbucks, Subway, and Panera have pledged to nix or reduce it. Less So-dium: “Across the industry, salt levels are dropping,” says Sam Oches, editor of QRS Magazine, a restaurant trade publication. Boston Market, for exam-ple, took its classics back to the test kitchen, slashing the sodium as much a possible without noticeably changing the taste. Mark your calendar weigh-ins for Thanksgiving will be on Wednesday morning at the church between 10:30 and 11:30 am. The group read from the two new books for the program. Next week Trudy Puller will have the program.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEUnderstanding Dietary

Supplements

(NAPSI)—Research has shown, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) re-ports, that dietary supplements can be good for your health. For example, it’s wise to take in the right amount of min-erals, especially iron. Here’s why:Scientists Report • Iron is an essential mineral for the human body, required to transport oxy-gen and support energy release. • Iron plays a key role in maintaining a healthy immune system and increases cognitive function for sustained con-centration. • Initial iron defi ciency symptoms can include fatigue, general lack of en-ergy and decreased ability to concen-trate. • Pregnant women, vegetarians and endurance athletes in particular should monitor their iron levels with the help of their health care practitioners.Read The Label That said, you need to know what you’re getting. Keep four points in mind: 1. Tell your health care provider about any supplements you use. 2. Always read and follow the label instructions. 3. The label should have the name of the supplement, the name, address and phone number of the manufacturer, a complete list of ingredients and the serving size. 4. You should see how much of each nutrient is in the supplement. You want to get the Recommended Daily Allow-ance (RDA) but you don’t want to ex-ceed the tolerable upper intake level for any one nutrient. That can be a problem if you take iron. It’s a very diffi cult min-eral for the body to absorb. Consider this: Eighty percent of women of child-bearing age require 2 mg of absorbed iron daily, yet most traditional iron sup-plements contain 65 mg of iron. Of this 65 mg, very little is absorbed, resulting in excess iron, often leading to uncom-fortable gastrointestinal problems. Fortunately, you can now get a liq-

AICR HealthTalk-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN

American Institute for Cancer Research Q. I hear a lot about cruciferous vegetables, but what else does this include be-sides broccoli? Do the others offer the same health benefi ts? A: All cruciferous vegetables provide compounds that show potential to reduce cancer risk in several ways. In laboratory studies, these compounds seem to decrease infl ammation, inhibit enzymes that activate carcinogens, stimulate enzymes that deac-tivate carcinogens and decrease cancer cells’ ability to spread. They seem to turn on tumor suppressor genes, which slow cell growth so that cell damage can be repaired and stimulate self-destruction of abnormal cells. What’s more, cruciferous vegetables are all excellent sources of vitamin C. Yet within the wide variety of cruciferous vegetables, choices differ in the other nutrients they provide. Dark green choices such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, broccoli rabe (rapini), mustard and collard greens, Swiss chard, kale and bok choy provide beta-carotene and tend to be rich in vitamin K. The red color in red cabbage and radishes signals the presence of fl avonoid compounds called anthocyanins. Some cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, caulifl ower, collard and mustard greens and broccoli rabe (rapini) are high in folate, which helps protect our DNA. Other cru-ciferous vegetables that add further variety include cabbage, broccolini, broccofl ower, kohlrabi, turnips and rutabaga.Human studies are inconsistent in showing a link between cruciferous vegetable con-sumption and reduced cancer risk. It’s possible that some people may get greater cancer protection from cruciferous vegetables than others due to genetic differences affect-ing how the body processes the compounds they contain. Differences in cooking and preparation may infl uence what these vegetables provide. Enjoy experimenting with variety, both in the ways you fi x broccoli and the many other cruciferous vegetables.

uid iron supplement that’s been clini-cally shown to have a high absorption rate of 40 percent. Each packet contains 5 mg of naturally occurring iron-rich spring water. This can fulfi ll the daily absorbed iron requirement of 2 mg, leaving only 3 mg of excess iron.

Stop The Snore: Sleep Apnea Action Urgent For Those At Risk

(NAPSI)—The nation’s sleep experts agree: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—a potentially life-threatening disease in-volving episodes of complete or partial airway obstruction during sleep—is dan-gerously on the rise. The National Healthy Sleep Awareness Project is urging anyone with symptoms of OSA to pledge to stop the snore and talk to a doctor about sleep apnea. “Research shows that the number of sleep apnea sufferers continues to in-crease—the disease affl icts at least 25 mil-lion American adults, and most of them remain untreated, increasing their risk of cardiac disease, hypertension, Type 2 diabetes and obesity,” said Dr. Timothy Morgenthaler, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and a national spokesperson for the Healthy Sleep Project, a collaboration by the AASM, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Sleep Research Society (SRS). “Fortunately, many of the damaging effects of sleep apnea can be stopped, and even reversed, through di-agnosis and treatment by a board-certifi ed sleep specialist.” How do you know if you should talk to a doctor about OSA? According to the Healthy Sleep Project, here are fi ve warn-ing signs for sleep apnea: Snoring. Besides being a nuisance to your bed partner or roommate, loud and frequent snoring is a common symptom of sleep apnea. While not everyone who snores has this sleep illness, snoring is a warning sign that should be taken serious-ly. Choking or gasping during sleep. When snoring is paired with choking, gasping or silent breathing pauses during sleep, it’s a strong indicator of sleep apnea. Fatigue or daytime sleepiness. “Sleep apnea can leave you waking in the morn-ing feeling tired, even after a full night’s sleep,” said Morgenthaler. “Excessive daytime sleepiness often occurs because sleep apnea causes numerous arousals throughout the night, and your body isn’t getting the quality sleep it needs.” Obesity. An adult with a body mass in-dex (BMI) of 30 or higher is considered to be obese, and the risk of sleep apnea increases with the amount of excess body weight. High blood pressure. A staggering 67 million Americans have high blood pres-sure, which is about one in every three adults. Between 30 and 40 percent of adults with high blood pressure also have sleep apnea, and getting treatment for sleep apnea is a proven means of decreas-ing blood pressure. If these symptoms describe you, then you have a high risk for OSA. If you’re ready to talk to a doctor about sleep apnea, the Healthy Sleep Project encourages you to visit stopsnoringpledge.org to pledge to stop the snore and fi nd a local sleep spe-

Life-Threatening Sleep Illness Affl icts at Least 25 Million Americans and Countingcialist at an AASM-accredited sleep cent-er. “A common misconception is that sleep apnea only affects older, overweight men,” said Morgenthaler. “This widely-held as-sumption is wrong: anyone can have sleep apnea, regardless of gender, age or body type—even if you’re not overweight.” Your doctor may decide you need an objective sleep study, which will provide the data needed to make an accurate di-agnosis. Once diagnosed, the most com-monly recommended treatment for sleep apnea is continuous positive airway pres-sure (CPAP) therapy, which provides gen-

tly pressurized air through a mask, keep-ing your airway open and making it easier to breathe. For patients who are unable to tolerate CPAP, or who seek alternatives, knowledgeable sleep specialists may be able to offer other treatments. “Obstructive sleep apnea is a chronic disease that has a negative impact on the health and well-being of millions of peo-ple in the U.S.,” said Janet B. Croft, PhD, senior chronic disease epidemiologist in CDC’s Division of Population Health. “It is important to discuss the warning signs for sleep apnea with your doctor to deter-mine if you are at risk.”

Defying Dehydration (NAPSI)—Good news for men and women whose skin becomes dull and tired as time goes by: Dermatologists recognize this as “age-related dehydra-tion,” a serious skin care concern, and have created a way to overcome it. Unlike dry skin, a skin type that lacks oil, age-related dehydrated skin occurs because the concentration of moisture-binding molecules in the skin diminish-es with time and essential moisture es-capes, leading to visible fi ne lines and rough-looking skin that shows its age. To address this, there’s an innovative formula available from Kiehl’s Since 1851 that’s clinically demonstrated to “fl ood” the deepest surface layers of dehydrated skin and restore vital mois-ture for younger-looking skin.

Explains Dr. Adam Geyer, Kiehl’s consulting dermatologist, Kiehl’s Hy-dro-Plumping Re-Texturizing Serum Concentrate is made with a potent complex of plant-based glycerin—a natural “moisture magnet”—and Shiso Leaf Extract, which helps protect the “anchoring” of deep moisture into the skin’s surface layers. Adds Dr. Geoff Genesky, head of Kiehl’s Skin Care Laboratory, “This in-novative formula acts on one of the key causes of dull, tired, aging skin to offer a clinically demonstrated anti-aging so-lution for customers of all ages.” It’s at Kiehl’s stores, select special-ty retailers, www.kiehls.com/Hydro-Plump and (800) KIEHLS-2.

SENIOR INFORMATION PAGEAdults 65 And Older Should Understand Flu-Related Risks And

Their Vaccination Options (NAPSI)—During the 2014-2015 fl u season, it’s important to remember that the single best way to prevent infl uenza (“the fl u”) is to get an annual vaccination, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends for every-one aged six months and older, with rare exception. As people age, the immune system weakens, even if they feel healthy and are active, which makes it harder to fi ght disease. As a result, adults aged 65 and older are more likely to catch the fl u and experience complications. The fl u is a contagious illness that can be severe and life threatening, especially for older adults. People 65 years of age and older typically account for more than half (60 percent) of fl u-related hospitaliza-tions and almost all (90 percent) fl u-relat-ed deaths. The Flu + You program, a national public education initiative sponsored by the National Council on Aging (NCOA) in collaboration with Sanofi Pasteur, edu-cates older adults and those who care for them about the seriousness of the fl u, the importance of annual vaccination, and available vaccine options. Award-winning actress Judith Light, known for TV’s Dal-las, Who’s the Boss?, and Ugly Betty, has joined the campaign this year as a national spokesperson. “Although I don’t feel like I’m getting any older, I know that my body is getting

older, and coming down with the fl u can really make me sick,” said Light. “No mat-ter how healthy and active we feel, getting an annual fl u vaccination is important and I learned there are different fl u vaccine options for people 65 and older. I want to encourage others to speak with their doc-tor or pharmacist to fi nd out more about getting vaccinated against the fl u.” The fl u can make existing health prob-lems worse and is especially dangerous for people with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease or chronic ob-

structive pulmonary disease, which com-monly affect older adults. Eighty-six per-cent of adults aged 65 and older have at least one chronic condition, and 68 per-cent of Medicare benefi ciaries have two or more. Worsening of these serious condi-tions may result in hospitalization and an inability to take part in simple daily activi-ties and live independently. “Research shows that the immune sys-tem weakens with age, which means older adults are more likely to catch the fl u and that they can suffer greater complications because of other health issues,” said Al-bert Terrillion, DrPH, MEd, CPH, NCOA Senior Director for Clinical and Commu-nity Partnerships and Director of NCOA’s Self-Management Alliance. “Through our Flu + You program, we encourage all old-er adults to protect themselves by getting an annual fl u vaccine as soon as they can.” Older adults have fl u vaccine options, including the traditional standard-dose fl u vaccine and a higher-dose vaccine. Both options are available at a doctor’s offi ce or local pharmacy. The higher-dose vac-cine was developed specifi cally for people aged 65 and older to improve the body’s production of antibody against the fl u. Flu vaccination is a Medicare Part B benefi t, which means there is no copay for Medi-care benefi ciaries 65 years of age and old-er. Older adults and their caregivers can learn more about vaccine options and the importance of getting an annual fl u vac-cine on the Flu + You website, www.ncoa.org/Flu, which features free educational materials, infographics and other sharable content, and a public service announce-ment with Judith Light.

Common night driving pitfallsLow light: Low-light conditionsmake it harder for the eyes to seecontrast and thus identify objectsand gauge their distance. It is muchmore difficult for a person to makeout an object or person in the streetor to accurately measure how fastthey are moving or how far awaythey are at night versus during the day.

Glare disability and recovery: Glare andblinding light from an oncoming car’s head -lights not only disables vision in the moment,but there is a period of time before the eyesrecover where people are left driving blind. In fact, glare is one of the most common nightdriving vision issues, with one out of fourrespondents reporting that they feel unsafedriving at night due to glare, according to asurvey by Toluna and EyePromise.

Reaction time: Reaction time is slower at night.The National Safety Council reports that 90percent of a driver’s reaction depends on vision,which is limited at night, so a person’s ability tospot danger and react is compromised. Whenconsidering the AAA Foundation for TrafficSafety’s assertion that a typical driver makes 20 decisions per mile and has less than half asecond to act to avoid a colli sion, it’s clear thathampered night vision poses serious danger.

FAMILY FEATURES

Although a lack of confidence while drivingat night is most commonly associated witholder drivers, new survey results revealthat drivers as young as 40 feel uncom -

fortable driving in dark, nighttime conditions. Thistime of year, when darkness falls earlier, meansmore low-light driving time for drivers of all ages,so it’s important to understand the factors that con -tribute to this discomfort, including one surprisingculprit — your nutritional intake.

Night driving is characterized by low-light con -ditions and glare from oncoming headlights thatimpact a driver’s vision and can have serious safetyimplications. The AAA Foundation for TrafficSafety reports that vision provides as much as 85percent of the information drivers need to make safe decisions behind the wheel.

Results from a survey conducted by Toluna andEyePromise reinforce the importance of qualityvision: with nearly one in four respondents reportingthat if they could see better they would feel saferdriving at night.

A problem with real consequences

Concerns about safe driving at night and in low-light conditions are valid. According to the NationalSafety Council, traffic death rates are three timesgreater driving at night versus day. However, formany people, driving at night is not a choice. In thesurvey, one in five respondents said that, despitefeeling anxious, they continue to drive at night outof necessity.

Protect yourself behind the wheel

The first step toward night driving safety is beingaware of the issues that may disrupt a driver’sconfidence behind the wheel. The vision issuesrelated to night driving can be organized into threecategories: low-light conditions, which affectcontrast and the ability to gauge distance; glare,which may cause a period of blind driving; andreaction time, which is reduced when visibility is hampered.

You can also enhance your safety behind thewheel by adopting smart driving behaviors such as driving slower at night and watching the whiteline on the road. The National Safety Councilrecommends drivers clean their headlights, tail -lights, signal lights and windows (inside and out) at least once a week.

Research reveals there is an additional solutionproven to directly address the major night drivingvision concerns: protecting your vision quality at its source.

Scientific studies show that nutrition has a signi -ficant impact on visual performance, specifically the nutrients zeaxanthin and lutein. Zeaxanthin andlutein are carotenoids that make up the macularpigment — the area of the eye responsible for pro -tecting vision.

Trace amounts can be found in foods like leafygreens, corn, eggs, and red, orange and yellowpeppers, but because it is difficult to get enough inthe average American diet, optometrists recommenda nutritional supplement. EyePromise vizual EDGEis a once-daily softgel that features high levels ofdietary zeaxanthin and is guaranteed to improvevision quality within three months.

“It has been scientifically proven that high levelsof dietary zeaxanthin taken in supplement formimprove night driving visual performance,” said Dr. Dennis Gierhart, a foremost researcher ondietary zeaxanthin and founder of ZeaVision, one of the leading companies in ocular nutrition.

Learn more about the impact vision has on night driving safety atwww.eyepromise.com/nightdrivingvision.

Take steps to improveyour safetyThere are numerous ways you canproactively improve your safety whiledriving at night. The experts at EyePromiseoffer these suggestions:

Practice safe driving

� Make sure the windshield and headlightsare clean.

� Leave more distance between cars.

� Use “night” setting on your interiorrearview mirror.

Improve your eyes with nutrition

Research proves nutritional supplementshigh in dietary zeaxanthin (10 mg orabove) and lutein protect and promote eyehealth to directly address major nightdriving vision issues. These nutrients helpby improving contrast, reducing glare andimproving recovery time.

Trace amounts of these nutrients arefound in foods like leafy greens, eggs,corn, and orange and yellow peppers, butthe best option is a natural supplement likeEyePromise vizual EDGE, which featureshigh levels of dietary zeaxanthin (14 mg)and lutein in a once-daily softgel.

Schedule regular eye exams to monitor for vision issues

A professional will be able to identify anyissues with the aid of routine examinations.
