A GIFT FOR GIVERS
Donating blood and knowing that
you’ve potentially saved a life is a
reward unto itself. But for the
months of May, June, and July,
givers get a little back. Nexcare is
giving a package of its Comfort
Bandages, specially branded with
the word “GIVE” on each, to
everyone who donates during this
critical period of the year when
blood shortages occur most
frequently. You’ll get yours at your
place of donation, or by visiting
nexcare.com.

QUIZNOS’ HONEY MUSTARD
CHICKEN SUB
Your mouth might be watering for a
Quiznos Honey Mustard Chicken sub,
but your heart and hips are hoping
you’ll order a little more wisely: The
regular sandwich has 880 calories, 43
grams of fat, and 1,775 mg of sodium.
Get the same taste by ordering the
small sub with no cheese, and ask the
server to use one-quarter the usual
amount of dressing. Add extra lettuce,
red onion, and tomato for flavor. This
will shave the sub down to a more
reasonable 360 calories, 10 grams of fat,
and half the original amount of sodium.
If you want a heartier lunch, make it a
combo and opt for a water and a
garden salad with balsamic vinaigrette.
