Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1986-04-23, Page 33- --- FOOD FACTS Easy to fix snacks Canadians are snacking everywhere and at all times of the day. People are drifting away from the traditional three meals a day. Snacking is in! In years past, food preparation took more time and effort. People usually ate prepared meals at home. But today ready -to -eat foods are easy to get throughout the day - at home you just reach into the refrigerator or grab a bite from a package on the shelf. Eating smaller amounts throughout the day is not necessarily unhealthy, but it is important to choose snacks which add nutri- tional value to the diet without adding ex- cess amounts of sugar, fat, or salt. The good news is that there are many good snacks which are fun to eat and still make a positive contribution to the diet. Easy -to -fix snacks for nibbling at home —whole wheat toast and peanut butter, cut into strips —apple wedges and cheese cubes —celery stuffed with cheese or peanut butter — banana rolled in chopped nuts and frozen — hot apple juice with a stick of cinnamon —fruit juice popsicles —slices of banana with yogurt — vegetables with Creamy Dilly Dip —toasted sunflower seeds —toasted sunflower seeds — baked potato with plain yogurt and chop- ped green onion —mini pizza —toasted bel with cheese —cereal with milk —peanuts in the,khell —devilled eggs —raw zucchini slices topped with any kind of cheese spread, thin slice of harp, or a dab of sandwich filling, e.g. egg, tuna or salmon salad —vegetable juice cocktail with celery stick —whole wheat toast spread with unsweeten- ed applesauce and a sprinkle of nutmeg —an open -face sandwich —dry -roasted nuts —plain yogurt with peach slices sprinkled with cinnamon —Orange Party Shake —fruit kabobs of strawberries, melon balls and pineapple chunks —open -face sandwiches cut in special shapes with a cookie cutter Eat well -live long The food you eat affects the way you look, feel and act. Sensible eating and lifestyle habits can reduce your risk of diet -related diseases later in life. It's up to you to con- sider the facts and make healthy food and lifestyle choices now. Regular physical activity can help you control your weight, improve your car- diovascular system and your general health and well-being. Weight gain results from an imbalance between how much you eat and how much physical activity you do. Your chances of developing some ehronic health disorders are increased if you are overweight. Eating right and keeping fit are lifetime goals. But too often a healthy lifestyle is sacrificed for a hectic daily schedule. You can get back on track by making small changes to your eating and exercise habits. Make time to exercise at least three times a week for a minimum of half an hour each time. A weight loss of one to two pounds a week is safe, anything more is not! To lose weight you must eat less and exercise more. Join an afterwork or school sport or exer- cise class. It's more fun to exercise with a group. .. _ - Fad diets and diet pills are not recom- mended for weight loss. These diets usually result in lost water and muscle, not fat. Per- manent weight loss will not occur and you'll spend a lot of money trying. Make exercise part of your daily routine! Take the stairs instead of the elevator whenever you can. Work out with a televi- sion exercise program. Choose skim or 2 percent milk, low fat cheese and yogurt to cut down on fat and calories. Bowls and platters of food left on the table while eating may tempt you to have more than you need. Canada's Food Guide sug- gests appropriate amounts and serving sizes. You need three to five servings of bread and cereal per day. Choose whole grain types such as whole wheat, rye, oatmeal, bran. Water is an essential nutrient. You need about six toeight cups per day. Prinking_a• •;. glass of water before you eat will also help make your stomach feel fuller and you may eat less. When you start to feel full try this exer- cise: place hands on table, straighten arms, move torso away from table, stand up, walk away. • Don't worry, exercise won't increase your appetite. In fact, some people aren't as hungry after a good workout. Don't give up all of your favorite foods. Simply eat less than you usually_do. Have two slices of pizza instead of four, cut your pie into eight slices instead of six. Butter, margarine, gravy, sour cream, whipped cream, jams, sweets, etc. are emp- ty extras. These add to your grocery bill and to your waistline. You'll perform better after a good morn- ing munch. If you don't have enough,time to make it have a muffin, cheese and fruit on the run, Eat -at -1 •four •seiz .i11gs1rom-the..feuits and vegetables group a day. You'll benefit from the vitamins, minerals and fibre. In addition to meat, fish, poultry, eggs and cheese, try beans, peas, lentils or tofu. Compare what you eat and how much to Canada's Food Guide. Alcoholic beverages are high in calories and low in nutrients. Choose low alcohol con- tent beer and wine • or try a spritzer - wine mixed half and half with soda water. Select non-alcoholic alternatives such as mineral water, fruit juices, vegetable juices and sugar -free soft drinks. • Reward yourself for eating right, and get- ting in shape with a new record, a night at the movies or a new outfit CLINTQN NEWS-RECQRO, WEDNESDAY, APEX 31,188-PageL7A 10,&11r6 w + .�►. �'.�►ra1 Come to London and see the sights, shop, eoioy the 'theatre, .. we'll accomodate you at our special weekend rates! 4500 16` night 4fl002nd night (single or double occupancy, subject to room tax) With 156 rooms in the centre of London, you can experience fine dining in Raffles Restaurant, a light menu in the Cafe Park Lane, dancing in Brass Tacks II or a drink in the ,Lobby Piano Bar.
