Lunch: Doris Elford, Ruth Anne Osgood, Janet Coward, Margaret Stewart Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello We all are aware of the importance of eating a good breakfast. Did you know that this practice can help you lose weight? A good breakfast will help you to eat less during the day because breakfasts lend themselves to high fibre foods like whole grain cereals causing you to be not as hungry throught the day. Over the past few years, the time it takes to have a new drug approved by Health Canada has dropped from over 19 months in 2003 to a little over 12 months in 2006. However, the time it took the drug company to reach that stage could have been ten years. It's useful to know how to do CPR is someone near you is having a heart attack. Even if you don't feel your skills are current, the very least you can do is call 911 and start chest compressions right away at the rate of about 100 per minute. New courses in CPR are now recommending a 30:2 ratio between chest compressions and ventilation. However, just doing chest compressions could save a life. Americans spend $7,000 per person per year on average on medical care. This is almost twice as much as ten years ago. With all this money spent, the U.S. still has the highest death rate of 19 industrialized nations from treatable diseases like high blood pressure, cervical and colon cancer and appendicitis. We encourage you to take responsibility for your health. One way is to carry a list of all your medications with you at all times. Include a description of the tablet or capsule with your list.
