April is National Donate Life Month, a time to celebrate the generosity of those who have saved lives by becoming organ, tissue, bone marrow donors and by making blood donations.

SAN ANTONIO – Leftovers can help your budget, save you time on cooking meals and help reduce food waste. Healthline Magazine reports many different factors that can influence how long you can store your food. But be sure to eat fresh produce as early as possible because it will start to lose flavor. Deli meat expires in five days after you open the package and chicken or beef will only stay fresh for two days. Be sure to put rice in a container one hour after cooking it and eat it within two days.
