The Huron County Chapter of t
Heart and Stroke Foundation and
the Huron County Health Unit will
offering the "Cooking for a Heal
Heart" course this April and May.
We have an abundant variety
foods to choose from each day. Ste
into any supermarket •and th
number of products is almos
overwhelming. Fast food
meats, doughnut shops and restau-
rants confront us everywhere
look. Unfortunately, this very abun
dance and easy accessibility has led
to dietary excesses and consequen
to our. health.
The typical Canadian diet is hi
in energy (calories), fats
cholesterol, sugar, sodium and low
in fibre. Fat contributes 42 per cen
of our calories and sugar ap-
proximately 24 per cent. This means
that two-thirds of the calories we eat
everyday comes from fat and sugar.
About half the foods we eat are
processed of packaged. These foods
are high in sodium. The average
Canadian eats the equivalent of
three teaspoons of salt a day. These
dietary habits are related to the
diseases of lifestyle prevalent in our
society — .heart disease, cancer,
obesity and others.
Research has shown that the food
choices we make can greatly impact
on our chances of developing heart
disease and other diseases of
lifestyle.
he 3. Increase dietary fibre.
Emphasize whole grains, fruits and
be vegetables.

4. Minimize sugar, salt and.
of. alcohol.
5. Prevent obesity through diet
e and exercise.
_ This four-week, course will teach

The cooking principles and
techniques you will learn throughout
this course are based on the
nutrition recommendations for
Canadians which were established
by Health and Welfare Canada in
response to our increasing
knowledge of disease prevention.
These recommendations are:
1. Consume a nutritionally
adequate diet by following Canada's
food Guide.

rhyme: _
Three blind mice,
Three blind mice,
All ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut them some cheese with
her carving knife,
Did you ever see such a sight

As three blind mice.

TODAY'S C
by Judith Adams
Claire is just a year old, but
seems much younger. She
was born prematurely, and
has some developmental
delays as ° a result. It's not
known to what extent she will
overcome this difficult start
in life, so the parents who
adopt her should be people
who can accept this uncer-
tainty.
She definitely has cerebral
palsy to a degree that has
affected her -limbs, :---an-d
whether•_ sl a will__walk..._eve
tually or not remains a ques-
tion mark. Claire has been
having physiotherapy twice a
week and that has helped
overcome the stiffness in her
arms and legs to quite an
extent already.
She's quite a responsive lit -
old rate of development
according to recent tests. But
she could surprise everybody,
and nobody is setting any
limits on her potential at this
young age.
Claire needs warm, accept-
ing parents who can give - her
a loving home, and who are
prepared to take her to lots of
clinics for frequent ° checkups..
She gets along really well
with the 14 -year-old . in her
foster home , and woad prolba-
n-__.__._bly-enjoy-having brothers --and
sisters in her adoptive family.
If you think you may -be
that family, please write to
Today's Child, Ministry of
Community and Social Serv-
ices, Box 888., Station K
Toronto. -Describe' your. ` sent family and your way of
tle girl, who smiles an
chuckles, and enjoys cuddling
In fact she'd rather be with
someone all the time, and he
face lights up when someone
- talks to her. Her muscle tone
is still quite poor and she is
justing beginning to pull her
head up by herself when she's
lying down. She doesn't have
really good sucking action so
feeding takes longer than it
would with most one -year-
olds, but she's enjoying baby
food now more than her botle.
Evening allowng for her
extreme prematurity, Claire
has reached only a six -month -
d life as fully as possible and
include your address and tele-
phone number in your letter.
