We tell you all the time that vegetables and fruit are good for you. But have we mentioned lately the benefits of one of the most decadent treats of all? Chocolate! A new review shines a light on how this plant-derived food helps your brain. Research shows chocolate has both short-term and long-term cognitive benefits. Cocoa beans, used to make chocolate, contain phytonutrients known as flavanols, which have beneficial polyphenol activity in the body and may lower blood pressure, improve blood flow to the brain and heart, and make blood platelets less sticky and likely to clot. Soon after you eat flavanol-rich chocolate, you may experience improvement in working memory (the system that lets you temporarily store and manage information) and in the way your brain processes visual information. There is also some evidence chocolate may encourage the bacteria in your gut to generate anti-inflammatory compounds. Keep in mind, though, not all chocolate is created equal—by a long shot! Conventional candy bars tend to be high in sugar, fat and junky ingredients, and the more chocolate is processed, the more flavanols are lost. Maximize the benefits by aiming for about an ounce of good- quality dark chocolate a day.

  • Chapter Four
    CHAPTER FOUR EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM INVENTORY WITH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS This Chapter of the WATS Long Range Transportation Plan provides a description of the existing multi-modal transportation system in Lycoming County encompassing highways and bridges, public transportation, airports, railroads and bike / pedestrian facilities. There are no waterway or inland ports located in the County. An inventory of current transportation assets by transportation mode will be provided, including a current physical condition and operational performance needs assessment. This data driven inventory and assessment is important to properly address transportation asset management needs and to improve operational performance of the overall system in terms of public safety, security, efficiency and cost effective movement of people and goods. HIGHWAY SYSTEM Highway Designations / Classification System According to the PennDOT Bureau of Planning and Research, there are 1,995.18 linear miles of publicly owned roadways throughout Lycoming County. PennDOT owns 716.59 linear miles, (35%) of public roadways in Lycoming County. In addition, there are 1,258.86 miles, (63%) of locally-owned roadways owned by 52 different local municipalities included on the PennDOT Liquid Fuels System. Other agencies own the remainder of roads in the County. Lycoming County government only owns two roads which are County Farm Road at the Lysock View county complex housing the Department of Public Safety (911 center), Pre- Release and county farm and an entrance road to the White Deer Recreation Complex. There are federal designations and classifications established for highway systems in the nation as noted in the following sections. Road Functional Classification System The Federal Highway Administration, PennDOT and Metropolitan & Rural Planning Organizations cooperatively establish and update maps that delineate various road classifications which group roadways into a hierarchy based on the type of highway service provided.
