Morning cereals:
good nutrition?
Cereal, the long reigning king
of the breakfast table provides
important dietary contributions
of iron, B vitamins, car-
bohydrate, protein and fiber; but
how much of these "get up an go"
nutrients have "got up and gone"
by the time the cereal reaches the
supermarket?
The refining of cereal grains
usually results in the loss of part
of the grain and hence some of
the nutrients, say food con-
sultants at. Agriculture Canada.
Whole grain cereals include the
entire kernel except the husk and
hence all the nutrients of the
grain. However, most of the
refined cereals have added
nutrients to replace those lost
during processing. Some
enriched cereals now provide as
much iron, B vitamins including
thiamin, riboflavin and niacin as
the whole grain ones.
Colds
Drafts and chills don't cause
colds. But they don't do your body
much good, either.
Colds are caused by viruses,
and there are almost a hundred
different cold viruses. But cold
weather can be a shock to your
body and throw it off balance,
too.
Your skin is directly exposed to
the elements and when it's
chilled, the blood vessels near the
skin constrict drastically. Nor-
mally, 50 to 75 gallons of blood
flow through your skin every
hour. But when your blood
vessels narrow, the amount of
circulating blood every hour is
reduced by 10 to 15 gallons.
Because active muscles help
supply heat, the more active you
are, the more cold you can stand.
And in cold weather, muscles
need more food energy to
produce more heat. Without
realizing it necessarily, most
people in winter consume about
15 extra calories each day - for
each degree the temperature
drops. And plump people
generally survive the cold better
than thin ones because fat layers
beneath the skin act as a blanket
warding off cold.
According to the Lung
Association, if freezing air went
directly into the deepest part of
your lungs, the delicate lung
tissues would be frozen stiff.
Then you would suffocate and die
from lack of oxygen. But the icy
air is forced through a com-
plicated maze of warming
passageways - your nostrils,
nasal sinuses, throat, windpipe,
and larger airways. By the time
freezing air reaches the tiny air
sacs deep in your lungs, the air
has been warmed almost to body
temperature.
Your lungs have many
defenses, but a host of assaults in
the air can cripple those defen-
ses. Your lung association cares
about every breath you take.
