You and your health etriC By Joan Burley It's hard to break the thinking habits of a lifetime. Why should we anyway? We still have our old scales to weigh ourselves, our old thermometers to take our temperature and out old tape measures to size ourselves up. But it's a metric world we live in. Ninety-eight per cent of the world is now on the metric system or moving to the metric system, and Canada is among the last countries to convert. Canadian manufactured goods cannot compete in a world that wants metric. To say "Go metric or go broke" is putting it very strongly, but it may not be far from the truth. So, like it or not, it's happening. Labs and hospitals have already converted; eventually doctors will too. And, sooner or later, the old ther- mometers will crack, the old scales will break and the old tape measure will wear out. Your temperature in Celsius: Learning to read a Celsius thermometer correctly is an essential. Normal body temperature in Celsius is 37 degrees. The danger here is when your temperature is not normal. One degree Celsius is equal to nearly two degrees Farenheit, so on a Celsius thermometer two degrees above normal is a very high temperature. A baby's tem- perature, taken rectally, should be 37.5 C. Your height in cen- timetres: Learning to think of height in centimetres is less essential, but very useful, especially for parents of growing, children. An average man stands about 180 centimetres tall; an average woman, 162 cen- timetres. One metre (100 centimetres) is about the height of a 31/2 -year-old child. A newborn baby will average about 50 cm. in length. Your weight in kilograms: It's important to learn some- thing about your wieght in kilograms. If you put on two kg. of body wieght, you've just gained more than you probably think. The average woman 162 cm. tall should weigh 55 to 67 kg. The average man 180 cm. tall should weigh from 72 to 80 kg. \1.1 '.1((11 \I) 1111 IN11'.1 1311113\I11 -I11( 111•4•111 1 254 Josephine St. _ Wingham Ph. 357-2993 Free Bridal Registry Colour Co-ordinated Accessories for BED - BATH - KITCHEN SHOWER & WEDDING GIFTS Taking your metric medicine: Prescriptions or patent medicines which now call for a teaspoon measurement may instead call for five ml. The two measurements are roughly equivalent. More to come: Don't be alarmed when you start hearing other metric measurements applied to the health system. Eventually your visual acuity will be measured that way (6-6 instead of 20-20). Your doctor may read your blood pressure in kilopascals; diet charts will talk about kilo- joules instead of calories. But that's all in the future and in most cases you won't have to learn what the measurements mean. Trust your doctor to tell you whether your eyesight and blood pressure are good or bad. And a cream puff is a cream puff, whether you measure it in calories or kilojoules. Of course you can't carry conversion tables in your head. Don't even try. Instead, learn the metric measurements of a few everyday things you can use as points of reference, like your mass, your height, your normal body temperature. Keep it simple, and in no time at all you'll find yourself thinking metric.
