cardiovascular disease (heart -

that the health of our hearts is more

There appears to be a direct con-

chances of developing a heart attack
or stroke.

FACING SURGERY
Another Heart to Heart partici-
pant was. Mery Kupferschmidt of
Mildmay. Having suffered a heart
attack in his 40s, he was also learn-
ing to cope with the after-effects. A
year and a half later, Mery is
anxiously awaiting word from
London that he is booked for bypass
surgery.
Life had been fairly normal for . .
him until pain in his arms began
causing concern. After a stress test
and angiogram, he was told he was a
candidate for surgery. He is still
working full-time but is hopeful the
surgery can be performed soon, as
specialists have told him the success
rate is high for patients as young as
he.
Meanwhile, coordinators are look-
ing ahead to a . new Heart to Heart
program to begin at Wingham ,hos-
pital in the spring. Anyone interest-
ed
nterest
ed in participating in the program,
may contact Sandra Shantz, social
worker at the hospital, 357-3210, or
Linda Knight of Community Nursing
Services, 357-3010.

organizations, like the
Ca'nadi`an COQ Society, which
ais suggests Iimiting total fat, in-
creasing fibre intake and reducing
salt. Because diabetes is also -a ask
fact in heart disease, it is an added
reason for diabetics to follow the
Heartt'oundation's guidelines.
The Lighthearted Cookbook con-
tains
a
tains 200 heart -healthy ;recipes
based 011 the --Foundation's,- dietary
recommendations and accompanied
by an analysis listing information
such as amount of fat, calories,
cholesterol, carbohydrates and
sodium. A practical lifestyle section
offers tips on feeding a family on the
run, teaching children healthy
eating habits, eating out when
travelling and cooking for one. Food
writer and former home economist
Anne Lindsay wrote the book at the
request of the Ontario Heart and
Stroke Foundation.
SELLING IN HURON
Cathy Mulvey of RR 1, Wroxeter,
is coordinator of sales of the cook-
book for Huron County. One hundred
books have been distributed to
various places in the county — the
Health Unit office in Goderich and in
each hospital in the five major towns
— Exeter, Goderich, Seaforth, Clin-
ton and Wingham. Eventually, they
will also be placed in a main -street
outlet in each of the five towns. Sale
of the books has been excellent in the
one already established, Keil In-
surance in Wingham, and Mrs.
Mulvey is waiting to hear from the
local chapters in the other four
centresso the books may be readily
available to main -street shoppers.
Placement in such centres and in
hospitals ensures that all the money
raised from the sale of the books
goes directly to the Heart and Stroke
Foundation. Another benefit of plac-
ing them in hospitals is the fact that
nutritionists urge heart and stroke
patients to buy and use the books
upon discharge from the hospital.
Mrs. Mulvey tells of one young
stroke patient in the Clifford area,
whose wife says the cookbook has
been a lifesaver as she helps him
adjust to a low -cholesterol diet.
