"NUTRITION MATTERS"
is the theme of Nutrition
Week, November `2-8, 1975,
sponsored by The Ontario
Dietetic Association to focus,
attention on the fact." that
adequate nutrition is. vital to
good health.
"One way to counteract
spiralling health care costs, is
_._.t.o. prevent–i-11•ness-. c.al sedgy by ..
poor eating' habits," -said
Sheila Smith; President, the
Ontario Dietetic Association.
"This• requires a - con-
centrated community effort
to.educate the public first to
"recognize that nutrition
matters and secondly; to do
something about it."
The Nutrition Canada
Survey in 1973 revealed that
half. the adults in Canada are
'overweight and lack -certain
nutrients in their diets: `
Some of the contributing
factors to this, • ituation. are
the, rapid changes in
lifestyles* :escalating food
costs, sporadic eating habits
coupled with reduced
physical activity.. Canadians
are eating more often away
from home and snacking as
an alternative to regular
nutritionally balanced meals.
All this adds up to concern
by dietitian -nutritionists who
are daily confronted with the
health problems of the
poorly nourished.
There are some positive
steps that can be taken to deal
with this situation.
The .Food Prices Review
Board showed that if a family
of four knew what to choose
from the 12,000 food items in
supermarkets, they could
trim up to $900 a year from
their food bills and still eat
nutritious meals, containing
the right amoUnt of calories-- -�-
What constitutes adequate
daily nutritional intake?
Dietitian -Nu'tritio'nists
recomnient to aim for five -
point meals, with, a food from
each of the five food groups in,
Canada's Food Guide.
Everyday, eat foods from
each of the following groups:
milk arid milk products;
fruits; vegetables; breads
and cereals; and meat or fish
or other protein alternative.
If you have a question
concerning nutrition, contact
--a dietitian- or nutritionistin
your community or write to
your local health unit.
