Food for Thought

Eating healthy is something everyone in the world deals with. The poor drought stricken people in Africa scrounge to find anything edible and the wealthy West try to wade through all the abundant choices to find something healthy to eat.

Did you know that Canada has more donut shops per capita than the US?

Did you know that Canadians eat more Kraft dinner per capita than any other country in the world?

We have an ashamedly great amount of food choices in this country. Lets make the right healthy choices. Avoid the over processed junk food.

Water for Good Health

During the holiday season people are so consumed with eating that they often forget to drink enough water.

Lots of water helps reduce the effects of alcohol. A good rule of thumb is to have a glass of water after every glass or shot of alcohol. This helps dilute the alcohol, helps fill you up and rehydrates your body whereas alcohol dehydrates your body.

Constipation is often caused by not enough water. A dry bowel does not pass feces well. The result is bloating and constipation.

Drink 2 litres of water each day and feel great for it.

For the Love of Chocolate

At this festive time of year chocolate is often the gift of choice.

Did you know that according to medical research eating chocolate 3 times per month helps people to live longer? This is in contrast to people who over eat chocolate or don't eat chocolate at all.

Chocolate is good for you if eaten in moderation. Enjoy.

Got a Headache?

Your headache and inflammatory pain can be reduced by eating 20 tart cherries.

Keep Our Ground Water Safe

With the chance of building a pipeline going from Alberta through BC to the west coast, our ground water safety is threatened. No one can guarantee that there will be no oil spill. When an oil spill happens everything above ground and under ground is poisoned!

About 30% of Canadians rely on ground water for their domestic needs.
