his Season, Dont Let Pump Pricesut a Damper on Your Holiday Funy Trisha Hessinger For NewsUSA

(NewsUSA) - Its easy to get caughtup in the holiday hubbub whenyoure running around looking for the

perfect gift. While the holidays can beexpensive, there are ways to save.Firestone Complete Auto Care offersthe following tips to help you savemoney at the gas pump so you canfocus on your holiday celebrations.

Slow Down and Get Some Air

Vehicles use less fuel the slowerthey travel. While staying withinthe speed limits, try dropping yourhighway speed by 10 mph to see bigsavings at the pump.

Calm down. According to the U.S.Department of Energy, aggressivedriving can lower your gas mileageby 33 percent on the highway and by5 percent in the city.

Fuel Up

Buy the right fuel. Look in yourvehicles owners manual for thecorrect octane level for your vehiclesengine. Odds are that it will be regularunleaded, since fewer than 5 percentof the vehicles on the road require theuse of premium fuel.

Drop Some Pounds

Extra weight in your vehicle makes itwork harder, hence less fuel mileage. According to the U.S. Departmentof Energy, an extra 100 pounds inthe car can reduce a vehicles fueleconomy by up to 2 percent. If youhave a trunk full of junk, empty it outfor better fuel economy.

The holiday season can stretch yourwallet pretty thin. By following just afew small steps, youll have more tospend on holiday festivities.

IMPROVE INDOOR AIR

QUALITY FOR A HEALTHIER

HOME

(NewsUSA) - When the weatherreport issues an air quality warning,some people stay indoors, but theresno guarantee that the air in the homeis any healthier than the air outside.Common indoor air pollutants suchas dust mite grime, pet dander,mold, tobacco smoke, and airborneallergens and germs may be lurking

about without anyone ever noticing.

Adults spend up to 90 percent of theirtime indoors and inhale approximately2,300 gallons of air a day. Giventhat, people face significant, ongoingexposure to a variety of unwelcomeindoor air pollutants. Extendedexposure to these pollutants cancause eye, nose and throat irritation,respiratory problems, headache,fatigue and even allergy symptoms.Asthmatics, the elderly and childrenare the most vulnerable to indoorair pollutants and can develop

more serious symptoms. Prolongedexposure to some pollutants haseven been linked to cancer or other

serious diseases.

Homeowners do, however, have thepower to combat indoor air pollutants

and improve their homes air quality.One common first line of defense isa home air filtration system. Thesedevices filter pollutants from the aircirculating throughout the home.The award-winning Carrier Infinity Air Purifier, for example, not onlytraps pollutants, it also uses a uniqueionization process to kill bacteria,viruses and mold, which standardair cleaners cant do. The whole-home purifier, installed in line withthe ductwork of a homes heating,ventilation and air conditioningsystem, re-purifies the air as manyas eight times an hour, removing amajority of pathogens, allergens andpet dander. In fact, the Infinity AirPurifier cleans more than 100 timesmore air than some of the popularportable units.

But an air purifier shouldnt have todo all the work. Homeowners need todo their part by maintaining a cleanhousehold. Simple things like askingpeople to take off their shoes at thefront door or preventing family andguests from smoking indoors go along way toward clearing indoor air,

allowing homeowners to breathe afresh sigh of relief.

For more information on improvingyour indoor air quality, visit www.residential.carrier.com.

AVOIDING FLOOD-DAMAGED

USED CARS

(NAPSI)-Its important to steer clearof used cars that were waterloggedin floods, hurricanes and otherstorms. Experts say over 75 percent

of declared federal disasters arerelated to floods. The vehicles canturn up in areas thousands of milesfrom where the damage occurred,and unknowing consumers whopurchase a waterdamaged auto froma dishonest seller may have littlerecourse.

A Growing Concern

Its estimated that the number ofwaterlogged wrecks on the markethas doubled in recent years, despitethe fact that most flooddamagedvehicles are writtten off by insurancecompanies. Indeed, many of the carsmake their way back to the used-car market, rebuilt and disguised asordinary used cars with clean titles.Fortunately, there are ways to spotthe telltale signs of a flood-damagedcar. Carfax offers these tips:

Look Around

Check the trunk, dashboard andglove compartment for silt, mud, rustand other signs of water damage. Youshould also examine upholstery andcarpeting closely. If it doesnt match

the interior or fits loosely, it may havebeen replaced. Discolored, fadedor stained materials might indicate

water damage.

Run A Test

Test the interior and exterior lights,as well as the windshield wipers,turn signals, DC power outlet, radio,heater and air conditioner severaltimes to be certain they work. Also,turn the ignition key and make surethe accessory and warning lights angauges work properly. Be certain theABS and air bag lights come on, too.

The Nose Knows

Smell the interior of the car to checfor musty odors. Its also smart toflex some of the wires beneath thedashboard. Wet wires become brittleupon drying and may crack.

Get A Second Opinion

Bring the car to a trusted mechanifor a prepurchase inspection. Alwaysget a vehicle checked before handingmoney over.

Know Your History

Ask to see a detailed vehicle historreport. Thousands of dealers providethem freejust say, Show Me theCarfax. A Carfax Vehicle Histor

Report can reveal any number ohidden problems from a vehiclespast, including flood titles. Used-car shoppers worried about flooddamage can also check for free aflood.carfax.com.

BACKPACK OVERLOAD

(NAPSI)-Could that textbook youchild just crammed into his backpacbe one item too many? Every day,millions of kidsalong with countlessworking adults and hikerscarrthose bags. But load them up too

heavily or wear ones that dont fiproperly, doctors warn, and theres arisk of injury.

Backpacks that are slung oveone shoulder, as well as heavieshoulder-strap bags, tend to shift thecenter of gravity of the body and canlead to neck and back fatigue andinjury, explains Dr. Gerard W. Clumof the Foundation for ChiropractiProgress. The greater the weight andimbalance, the greater the potentialfor problems.

Dr. Clum offers these tips:

Avoid carrying more than 10 to 15percent of your body weight.

Distribute weight evenly.

Select packs with padded shouldestraps and lumbar support.

Bend your knees when lifting aheavy pack.

Carry only whats needed.

SHOW YOUR HEART SOME LOVE

(NAPSI)-Many women, even thosewho eat a healthy and well-balanceddiet, may find it difficult to get enoughmega-3s to support their heart.

his may explain why, in a surveyommissioned by Schiff Nutrition,hree out of four cardiologists sayhat if they had to choose one dietaryupplement to support cardiovascularealth, theyd choose omega-3 fattycids.

Good heart health should begin early,nd by the time a woman reaches5, heart health should be a majorriority and focus, said Dr. Suzanneteinbaum, attending cardiologistnd the director of Women and Heartisease of the Heart and Vascular

Institute of Lenox Hill Hospital in

ew York, and a paid spokespersonor Schiff Nutrition. Its imperativehat women take responsibility forheir cardiovascular health and benowledgeable about the best wayso keep the heart healthy.

aining popularity among omega-s are krill oil products, and for goodeason. Unlike fish oil, the omega-3atty acids in krill are mainly carried tohe bodys cells in phospholipid form,hich allows for easy absorption by

he body.

nother reason for their popularity

is that krill oil softgels have no fishyaftertaste or burp back, and becausemost krill oil softgels are much smallerthan traditional fish oil pills, they areeasier to swallow.

Dr. Steinbaum recommendsMegaRed 100 percent PureOmega-3 Krill Oil to her patients. It isimportant to incorporate omega-3s forcardiovascular protection. A MegaRedkrill oil softgel is easily tolerated anda perfect way of being proactiveto support your heart health. Dr.Steinbaum follows her own adviceand takes one small softgel each day.

In addition to supplements, Steinbaumalso stresses the importance of dietand exercise. Eating a diet rich invegetables, fruits, whole grains andfiber while cutting back on saturatedand trans fats can play a big role in

keeping your heart healthy.

What Is Krill?

Krill oil comes from tiny shrimp-likecrustaceans that thrive mostly in thefreezing waters of the Antarctic Ocean.Krill oil is an attractive omega-3 optionfor many consumers as it provides anoptimal combination of omega-3 fattyacids, phospholipids and powerfulantioxidants.

GREEN ORGANIZATION TIPS FOR

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY, LESS

STRESS

(NAPSI)-Organizing your home can

reduce stress levels, and there areeasy ways to declutter while beingmindful of the environment, suggestsLorie Marrero, author of The ClutterDiet: The Skinny on Organizing YourHome and Taking Control of YourLife.

She offers these eight green,environmentally conscious ideas:

Start with a prioritized task list to stayon track. Why not use a notebook thatyou can reuse over and over? M byStaples makes a reusable journal withrefillable paper that is the perfect sizeto carry with you for any on-the-goadditions to the list.

Prevent having to recycle junk mailby removing your name from mailinglists. Register with the Mail PreferenceService at www.dmachoice.org.

When you do organize, you oftenneed to clean off a shelf or washa window to make the space feelfinished. Clean up with environmentallyfriendly cleaners such as SustainableEarth by Staples, which minimizesenvironmental impact both in generaland inside your home.

Instead of using paper towels, recycleold clothing and towels into cleaningrags. Tear them or mark them witha big X with a marker, so that youavoid getting them mixed back intoyour regular clothing and linens.

Make it official with your recyclingeffortsgive this function a dedicatedspace in your home, either in youmudroom, garage or kitchen, so that iisnt constantly in your way. You mighwant an intermediate bin you can taketo the larger bin to empty in the garagewhen its full.

Recycle your technology itemssuch as computers, monitors, famachines and printers at Staplesstores and donate items you donneedfrom clothes to furnituretolocal organizations.

Save shredded paper for packingmaterial. This gives it a second lifeand saves you money on packingsupplies.

When you make an office purchase,look for products of high quality thawill last, rather than products thayou will need to discard and replace.Marrero really appreciates OXO GoodGrips office products (available aStaples or www.staples.com) for justhis reasonthey are designed welland weighted to feel solid and durablein your hand.
