KOA 3BO For further information 445-2892 Opinion on health Avoidance can be healthy by Dick Thom ~ast month we spoke of the im- portance of natural, raw foods. Achieving good health is not just a matter of trying to get the proper nutrients, but it also includes try- ing to avoid pollutants in the air, water and food. While it is very difficult to avoid air and water pollution because of our heavily in- dustrialized society we all can do our part. If each of us decreased our use of non-renewable resources we would also decrease world pollution. Such things as turning off all un-needed lights, walking if going short distances, taking a bus or us- ing a car pool, using non- disposable products, using biodegradable cleaning products and growing some of our own food with, natural compost or manure would be helpful. We can also avoid pollutants in our food supply. Many food ad- ditives are of very questionable safety. Several thousand chemicals are daily added to our food supply. Commercial fruits and vegetables often contain residues of dozens of pesticides, insecticides, herbicides as well as You may, have noticed this outhouse on the Castor River in Russell Village. For a measley dollar you can get a 15-minute time period -- and if the outhouse goes down during that time, on your day, ~you've won $500. Tickets are available just about - everywhere. Profits to the Figure Skating Club. waxes, bleaches, artificial colour- ings and preservatives -- many of which have been linked to headaches, allergies, skin pro- blems, depression, even cancer. On average we eat between 5-7 pounds of additives per year (which goes along with our 120 pounds of sugar). If these ad- ditives were fed to a horse at one time, the horse would be dead within 3 minutes. What therefore do you think are the long term ef- fects of this is on our bodies? Is it a fact that growing old results in degenerative diseases (ie: heart attack, cancer, stroke, diabetes etc..)? Perhaps we are slowly poisoning ourselves and the amazing thing is that we seldom care or do anything about it until our health has left us. How many older people have you heard say, "If I only had my health"? Unfortunately, very few people get. optimum nourishment from the foods they eat, understand the complexities of nutrition or take the time to plan a_ perfectly balanced diet. The proper com- bination of vitamins, minerals, complete proteins, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, enzymes and trace elements are all essentials for the maintenance of good health You, like most people, pro- bably feel you are doing okay because you have no clinical signs of disease. However, remember- ing our definition of health and' the fact that U.S. department of agriculture studies revealed fre- quent and marked deficiencies, one cannot be surprised about the present state of health (or non- health) of our nation. Next issue. we will discuss the mythical balanced diet. The conservation area on the south side of the Castor is attracting many , cross-country skiers -- like Nylene McNeil, above. Russellers now have a network of trails at their doorstep.
