NUTRITION
MATTERS
by
Lynn Garrison
Nutrition Consultant
Huron County Health Unit
In today's hectic society, it isn't
unusual that someone is expected to
juggle the responsibilities of a job, a
home and a family. This kind of
pressure can make anyone feel
stressed.
When a person is experiencing
emotionally stressful times, the
body's nervous and hormonal
systems respond. For example, the
heart beats faster, respiration
quickens, blood pressure and blood
sugar risec,,palms get sweaty, the
stomach may become upSet, and so
on. This reaction to stress would
provide excellent support to a
person who needs to take action sud-
denly and for a short period of time.
However, if the stress response is
prolonged, then it can have a major
effect on one's health.
Many people feel that taking a
vitamin pill during these times helps
them cope with stress, but are
vitamin supplements really helpful?'
There is little scientific evidence
which looks at the effects of
emotional stress and vitamins. To
date, however, the bottom line is
that there is no clearly defined role
for vitamin supplements in
alleviating emotional stress.
Stress can affect our eating habits,
however. plat is, during stressful
times, we may respond by either
over -eating or under -eating. If our
dietary habits change like this, then
our nutritional status may be af-
fected.
If a person's appetitie is spoiled by
stress, eating small meals or snacks
frequently throughout the day can
be a way of getting the- needed
nutrients without eating large
meals.
If a person responds to stress by
eating more than usual, then food
selection becomes very important.
Keeping with low calorie foods can
help. For the over -eater, regular
exercise to burn off excess calories
and relieve the effects of stress can
also be very helpful.

MONUMENT SITE CHOSEN
In October of 1923, Wingham
Council purchased the W. F. Van -
stone property on which the Cosens
and Booth Insurance office was
located, with plans to erect the war
memorial on that corner. The price
paid for the ground was $900. The
building was going to be moved, the
base of the monument put down and
the ground terraced appropriately.
R was thought that some might feel
the council paid too much for the
land but members had gone into the
matter thoroughly and found they
could do no better. It was hoped it
would become a beauty spot in the
heart of the town.
