Scott is one of MSD’s newest

employee in the Service Department. Scott

has been with us for about two weeks, but

has been in this field of work for 5 years.

He chose this line of work because he

enjoys the day to day mental/ physical

challenges. Scott and his wife, Sarah, of 5

years, have two kids, Madison (6) and

John-Paul (3). Florida is one of his favorite

places that he has traveled to because of

the beach. He enjoys listening to classic

rock, especially Led Zepplin.

Fire Alarm:

When employees are in a building where the fire alarm is activated, you MUST

IMMEDIATELY evacuate. Under no circumstance should an MSD

employee remain in the building.

Driving Safe in the

Rain!

1. Exercise extreme caution after a long dry spell. During a dry period, engine oil, and grease build

up on the road over time. When mixed with water from a new rainfall, the road becomes

extremely slick.

2. Brake earlier and with less force than you would normally. Not only does this increase the

stopping distance between you and the car in front of you, it also lets the driver behind you know

that you’re slowing down.

3. Don't use cruise control. If you hydroplane, there's the chance your car could actually accelerate.

4. If you see a large puddle up ahead, drive around it or choose a different route. Water could

splash up into your car’s engine compartment and could damage its internal electrical systems. Also,

a pothole may be hiding under the water. If you can’t gauge the depth , or if its veering up the side

curb, try to avoid it.

5. After you cross a puddle, tap on your brake pedal lightly to dry off some of the water on your

rooters.

6. Turn on your headlights, even when there's a light sprinkle. It helps you see the road, and more

importantly, it helps other motorists see you.

7. Watch out for pedestrians. An ordinarily observant pedestrian may become distracted by fid-

dling with an umbrella or a rain slicker. Plus, raindrops deaden sound, so the usual audio clues for

measuring car distances become obscured.

8. If you start to hydroplane, don't brake suddenly or turn the wheel, or you might spin into a skid.

Release the gas pedal slowly and steer straight until the car regains traction.

Important Dates:

Walnuts

Good for: Mood

Walnuts are packed with tryptophan, an amino acid your body

needs to create the feel-great chemical serotonin. (In fact, Spanish

researchers found that walnut eaters have higher levels of this natu-

ral mood-regulator.) Another perk: "They're digested slowly," Dr.

Katz says. "This contributes to mood stability and can help you tol-

erate stress."

Asparagus

Good for: Mood

These spears are one of the best veggie sources of folate, a B vitamin

that could help keep you out of a slump. "Folate is important for the

synthesis of the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin, and

norepinephrine," says David Mischoulon, MD, a psychiatrist at

Harvard Medical School. All of these are crucial for mood.

A cup of cooked asparagus has 268 micrograms (mcg) two-thirds of

the 400 mcg RDA for women. Add a cup of enriched pasta which is

fortified with folic acid, the synthetic form of folate and you'll have

a feel-good meal indeed.

Spring garlic

Good for: Weight Loss

The slim-you benefit of this seasonal treat lies in a compound called

allicin, which gives garlic its pungent smell. "Allicin may keep you

from overeating by stimulating satiety in the brain," says Tara Gidus,

RD, a dietitian in Orlando, Florida.

Spring garlic has a milder, sweeter taste than the dried white bulbs

you buy later in the season. Enjoy it diced on salad for a fat-fighting

side or lunch.

Legumes

Good for: Weight Loss

Beans are one of your best bets if you're trying to drop pounds, says

Joseph Colella, MD, a bariatric surgeon at Magee-Women's Hospital

in Pittsburgh. "Your body has to work to break down the bean to get

through the fiber," he explains, "so you're actually expending energy

to digest it." Even better, Dr. Colella says, the protein in legumes

activates an "I'm satisfied" message in the hunger center of your

brain.

Spinach

Good for: Energy

These tasty leaves are a great source of iron (especially if you don't

eat meat), which is a key component in red blood cells that fuel our

muscles with oxygen for energy. Researchers in Sweden recently

identified another way in which these greens might keep you

charged: Compounds found in spinach actually increase the

efficiency of our mitochondria, the energy-producing factories

inside our cells. That means eating a cup of cooked spinach a day

may give you more lasting power on the elliptical machine (or in

your daily sprint to catch the bus).

Artichokes

Good for: Energy

If you've been huffing and puffing up the stairs, try these

spiky-leafed vegetables. They're loaded with magnesium, a mineral

vital for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body—

including generating energy, says Forrest Nielsen, PhD, a U.S.

Department of Agriculture research nutritionist. "If you're not

getting enough magnesium, your muscles have to work harder to

react and you tire more quickly." About 68% of us aren't getting

enough of this mineral. For women, the goal is 320 milligrams

(mg) per day. One medium artichoke provides 77 mg of

magnesium (and just 60 calories!). Other top sources include nuts,

legumes, and whole grains.

Salmon

Good for: Skin

There's wrinkle prevention on your plate: "Salmon is rich in a fatty

acid called eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a type of omega-3 that

naturally helps block the release of UV-induced enzymes that

diminish collagen, causing lines and sagging skin," says Ariel

Ostad, MD, a dermatologist in New York City. Bonus: Omega-3s

also regulate oil production in the skin and boost hydration, which

helps keep your complexion dewy and acne-free.

Strawberries

Good for: Skin

They may not have the smoothest complexion themselves, but

strawberries can get you one. They're loaded with antioxidants that

help your skin repair damage caused by environmental factors like

pollution and UV rays. Plus, they're packed with vitamin C (less

than a cup gets you your entire 75 mg RDA)—the vitamin

associated with fewer wrinkles and less dryness, per research in

the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Try them in a

homemade facial, too. "Direct application of the antioxidants in

trawberries as well as the natural exfoliant they contain,

alpha-hydroxy acid will give you great results," Dr. Ostad says.

Eggs

Good for: Memory

Have your over-easies before you hit the Easter egg hunt. The

yolks are chock-full of choline, a key nutrient for recall. "Your

body needs choline to make a brain chemical called acetylcholine,

crucial for storing memories," says Steven Zeisel, MD, director of

the Nutrition Research Institute at the University of North Carolina

at Chapel Hill. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for

choline is 425 mg. There are 147 mg in a large egg; other good

options are nuts and red meat.

Blueberries

Good for: Memory

Eat them regularly and you may reap big brain benefits. In a recent

study, people with age-related memory decline who drank roughly

two and a half cups of blueberry juice per day for 12 weeks (the

equivalent of eating a cup of blueberries) made significant

improvements on memory and learning tests compared with those

who drank a placebo juice. The secret component? A type of

antioxidant called anthocyanins, says study co-author Robert

Krikorian, PhD, a psychologist at the University of Cincinnati:

"Anthocyanins have been shown in animal studies to increase

signals among brain cells and improve their resilience, enhancing

learning and memory."

Superfoods build bones, prevent chronic diseases, improve your

eyesight, and even keep your mind sharp. But did you know new

evidence suggests these foods can also help you get and stay slim?

Peeps S’mores Recipe:

Easter eggs.

"I am a fan of old-school traditions for Easter. I love dyeing hard-boiled

eggs the way I did growing up. It's a good way to do something novel that's

not about candy."

Chocolate eggs.

Unwrapping the foil and finding a simple piece of chocolate inside to me,

that's Easter.

Jelly beans.

I use the holiday as an excuse to enjoy a handful of coconut jelly beans. My

favorite. I love the richness of the coconut in candy form.

Veggies.

Easter means spring — break out the vegetables! I love fresh asparagus,

shaved raw into a bowl with some lemon juice and zest and some Parmesan

cheese.

More veggies.

I also love a few fresh fava beans or shelled peas mixed with lemon zest

and olive oil and served on grilled bread with a little ricotta for creaminess.

Bunny pretzels.

Dip pretzel in white chocolate and decorate the ends with pink frosting to

look like bunny heads.

Easter shapes.

A bunny- or egg-shaped cookie cutter can make Easter pancakes or butter

cookies look special.

Carrots/ Strawberries.

Put a drop of orange food coloring in white chocolate, then dip in

strawberries. That makes them look like carrots.

Onion dip treat.

For a savory treat, roll onion dip in large carrot peeling to make it look like

a stuffed carrot and finish with a bunch of parsley at the top.

Parsnip cake.

Instead of carrot cake, celebrate one of the first vegetables of spring by

substituting parsnips for carrots in the recipe.
