“BROKEN” A short while ago Mikie had a major wipeout on the ice. Now, I have always told myself, when falling... do NOT put out your hand, which is just full of fragile bones. However, while crossing some ice in the driveway my feet went out from under me so fast that there was no time for thinking. The initial impact was... ouch, my tailbone, then I felt a twinge in my hand?? A few hours later, my tailbone seemed not too bad but the hand was swollen and pretty sore. Went in to the ER the next morning and 5 or 6 x-rays later was declared broken. A well wrapped splint was applied and the pain was quickly alleviated.

Ten days later, I have a checkup at the hospital, by a plastic surgeon, and he figures that it isn’t broken and go home, take it easy. Well, I was just ecstatic.

“Thanks Doc, you did such a great job on the wrist, how about doing something for the face??”

What is also broken for the past couple of days, is our walk in the woods. After a winter’s snowfall, we pack down a trail with the snowshoes a couple of times, and

then we can usually walk on that path with just boots!! What has been happening recently with the milder temperatures, is that if you place one foot near the edge of the path, you frequently wind up breaking through and sinking right to your knee. You then have to extricate yourself by lifting all of your weight with the other leg. So after breaking through about a dozen times or so on one walk, the next day I opted for the snowshoes, as there were two or three inches of soft crumbly snow on the surface.

Soon the difficult became the ridiculous!!

Right snowshoe slides to the right and breaks through the crust to sink 8 inches.

Off balance, the left foot takes more of the load but starts to slip to the left. Because I still can’t put weight on my right foot, I double hop and skip on the left. Having my right foot free, I swing it to the left to try and gain a foothold on the trail, but over compensate and like a skier glide down the slope of the path coming to a halt in deep snow. The judges award a 6.0 for technical merit but a big fat zero for artistic impression.

Despite the humorous efforts that must be taken, we have persisted in finding ways to continue our walk, while minimizing the likelihood of further broken bones. 0001

Up, Up & Away by Ellen Tucker DISCOVERING ITALY Italy is a popular destination for travellers worldwide, and certainly for Atlantic Canadians - with good reason, for there is much to experience and discover. No matter how many times you visit, you’ll make new discoveries - about the history, the climate, the mystique of “la dolce vita”, and the ubiquitous music. Yes, they really do sing in the streets! Finally, the cuisine, which varies from region to region, each with its own unique features.

You can tour charming hill towns via incredible scenic drives, such as along the Amalfi coast, or through the Cinque Terre, with stops to see the art, the vineyards, the wildflowers, and classic gardens. Every vista can enchant and capture visitors, so that once visited, there is a compulsion to return, again and again… be warned, you will be captivated!

Where should a first-time visitor choose to go, when there is so much to see and do? It’s important not to pack too much into an initial visit. You need time to savour the atmosphere and reflect on your experience. You might want a taste of each region, and you can accomplish that with several tour companies. For example, Trafalgar has a tour called “Gladiators, Gondolas and Gold”.

If you dream of Tuscany I recommend the tour called“Rome and Tuscan Highlights”. It starts with a one night stay in Rome, and a tour of the city, then moves on to Montecatini in Tuscany for the next six nights. From this base you make daily excursions throughout Tuscany, to Florence, Pisa, Siena, and San Gimignano. A tour like this is more comfortable and satisfying than changing hotels every day or two, because you have more local experiential time. After six days in Tuscany, you return to Rome by coach

for a final night, unless you decide to extend your stay.

If you’d prefer a longer, more independent holiday, but wish to arrange the details of hotels, transportation and local tours beforehand, consider Monograms by Globus. For example, you could stay in Venice for three nights, take a high speed train to Florence for three nights, another train to Rome for three nights, and then go by air to Catania in Sicily, to stay for three nights in Giardini Naxos, a popular seaside resort. Local tours are included in each region, but you have lots of free time to satisfy your own interests and curiosity. 0043

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS As you read this, Maureen Robichaud, a member of the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership Committee, is in Piggs Peak, Swaziland. Maureen is coordinating the gogo-grandmother partnership within the overall Partnership. Currently, the main undertaking of this group is the development of a vegetable garden in Piggs Peak. Under the direction of Karen and Stuart Mandy and the guidance of a grandmother council in Macembeni (a rural settlement in Piggs Peak), this project has already enjoyed enormous success.

You may remember from previous articles that 10 acres of land was donated

by Ginny Kummer, a local landowner.

To date, approximately one acre of the land has been developed. Efforts to date have generated a number of crops (e.g., lettuce and spinach) that have been distributed to those in need through local churches and soup kitchens.

Some have also been sold to the local supermarket, generating income that has been re-invested in the garden. This has created a firm foundation for further

development both in terms of a business model and the garden itself.

The long-term goal is to fully optimize the 10 acres of land to produce food, provide local employment and feed those in need. Other types of crops, like strawberries and fruit trees, are currently being added. As we grow, we will continue to distribute some produce to the needy and sell some to sustain the project. Our goal is that, within three years, the garden will have “grown” into the entire 10 acres and will be economically self-sustaining. This will be a huge garden by any standard, providing food to a great number of very needy people.

Maureen has done a wonderful job in orchestrating this project and Karen and Stuart Mandy have been invaluable in managing the overall operation. It will be up to the rest of us to provide it with the support it needs to reach its full potential.

Please don’t forget the Brigham Young University-Idaho Sinfonietta, a 38-member chamber orchestra, will perform in Saint John at the Imperial Theatre on Friday, April 25 at 7:00pm.

Tickets are only $15/person or $30/ family (ages five and over only please).

Proceeds will be divided between IWK Foundation and Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership.

Tickets are available online at: imperialtheatre.nb.ca or at the Imperial Theatre box office in Saint John. In Hampton, tickets are available at Pattison Financial, 950 Main Street, between 8:30 am and 4:30pm. Please come; I look forward to seeing some Hamptonians there! 0010

THERAPEUTIC RIDING PROGRAM NEEDS VOLUNTEERS Our program is called Shining Horizons Therapeutic Riding Association and has been in operation for over 15 years.

Currently we are riding out of Foshay South Eventing barn and are using a wonderful horse named Parker. We ride Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings for seven to eight weeks starting April 22 and again in the fall. Because we only have the one horse we have 14 riders in the program .

We are part of CanTRA (Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association), and is under the Para Equestrian division of Equine Canada - which governs all aspects of horses in Canada. Our group, SHTRA, has a Board of Directors, two certified instructors, an Instructor in Training, 14 riders and amazing volunteers… which we need more of.

We teach the riders how to ride English, hold the reins, steer the horse, use their legs, seat and voice to ask the horse to go at different paces, do school figures and of course, we have fun with games

(on horseback).

Each rider needs three volunteers… one to lead the horse and two to walk beside the rider. Some riders just need the volunteers as spotters and others need to be held on. As far as the benefits… riding is a non-weight bearing activity, so easy on joints but great workout for core muscles which is very important, especially for those who have restricted movement. Riding has so many benefits, the riders are able to participate in an activity that is not available to a lot of people; for those in a wheelchair they actually get out of the chair and are at eye level with people or above. Exercises are so much more fun on horseback. Sense of confidence is amazing as they are in control of a 1000 lb animal and the horse never judges, he is just happy to do as the riders want.

As far as the volunteers are concerned, we would commitment to one evening or Saturday per session and they are required to to go through a two-hour training session at the barn prior to the start of Therapeutic Riding. If you would like to become a volunteer with the program please contact 849-0149 or email: kest@nbnet.nb.ca. 2710

BASEMENT PLAYERS PRESENTS… This year the Basement Players Theater Group will be performing a farce-comedy titled "Laffing Room Only" by Tim Kelly.

This play is set in an old rundown hotel, The Whispering Pines, that is definitely off the beaten path. Gloria Alexander is about to lose the dilapidated hotel for back-taxes. She'd gladly sell the place, but there are no takers. Enter two tax officials, with plans to make the hotel a base for a sting operation. One hilarious complication collides with another up to the climax when each visitor turns out to have an unsuspected, rib-tickling reason for being at the hotel.

Tickets ($10/children, $5/children 12 and under) are available from the sponsoring venue or at the door. All performances begin at 7:30pm. Locally, performances will be held: Friday, April 25 - Belleisle Regional High School (Rte 124, Springfield) and Saturday, April 26 - Harvey Hall, Riverside-Albert.

For more information on the Baskement Players visit their website: basementplayers.com or their Facebook page. 2724

5 Ways to Make Sure Your Golden Years Stay Golden

You’ve passed 50 and sailed past retirement and now you’re into “The Golden Years”.

Your free time has likely increased and your responsibilities have likely decreased. So, now that you’re here, how can you keep your Golden Years golden?

“Let improving the quality of life for the residents and families of Loch Lomond Villa be your Legacy.”

STAY ACTIVE The more you move the more you’ll be able to get up and keep moving around. If you’re not already active, talk to your doctor about implementing an exercise regime that is right for you.

Your exercises should cover the four major zones: aerobic activity,

strengthening activity, balance and flexibility. It can be easy to incorporate these activities into your daily life. Aerobic activity is as simple as going for a good brisk walk around the walk. Strengthening activities can be done in sitting down and lifting weights while you watch TV; start light, go slow and keep that pace. Balance and flexibility can be covered by a stretch in the morning and a stretch before bed. Try standing on one foot to improve your balance, hold on to a chair or table if you need to.

Staying active can actually help to reduce your risk of falls and injury.

By building muscle and staying flexible you are more likely to be able to keep your balance.

5 Ways to Make Sure Your Golden Years Stay Golden of your fitness will help you stay active and healthy for years to come.

KEEP YOUR MIND SHARP When we go to work, we overcome challenges and obstacles everyday, once we retire the little problems and challenges of working life go away. Any activity that keeps you thinking and learning will be great to keep your mind active. Take up a hobby, something that you’ve been interested in but never had the time to pursue.

KEEP UP WITH FRIENDS AND MAKE NEW ONES Humans by nature are social creatures, we all enjoy the company of others. Now that you may have some extra time why not join a club? There are a number of special interest clubs and service clubs out there. Even just meeting up regularly with friends can help you active and enjoying life.

KEEP TO A ROUTINE When we go to work we have a routine that we follow everyday.

After our working lives are done it’s still a good idea to create a routine that you stick to throughout your weeks. Even if you aren’t going out of the house everyday it can be nice to create a sense of order and purpose in your day and what you have to accomplish.

ASK THE CHEF BEST KIND OF RICE Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another great question to answer. This week I got a question about rice. What is the best kind and what is the best way to cook it?

This is a hard question to answer because there are over 40,000 different varieties of rice. To make it easy we can break this down into four major categories of rice; Indica, Japonica, aromatic and glutinous.

Rice is one of the first seeds that humans started to eat. We can’t put an exact date on it, but historians say it is between 8,200– 13,500 years old. It is the most consumed starch product and second most produced grain in the world after corn.

Enough of the history, here are some ways to cook it and what rices are the best.

Around here we do not have a lot of choices when it comes to rice. There is some that should never be used, but are the easiest to make. That’s right, Minute Rice and Uncle Ben’s style rice. These are simple rices that are not naturally produced and often just

by Colin Sifton

dehydrated. You just have to boil in water and serve.

The most popular rice is basmati. A rice from India that is long grains and very aromatic if prepared correctly. The secret to good basmati rice is washing your rice.

Rice contains a lot of starch and by washing it, you will produce a light fluffy rice. You should wash the rice in cold water until the water stops being so cloudy. The clearer the water, the less starch, which means a better product. Drain off as much water as possible. Add two times the amount of water as you have rice. Cover your pot and bring this to a boil. Turn your pot down to minimum and leave for about 20 minutes.

Do not remove the cover to see how it is doing. This will release the steam and you will not end up with a good product. After the 20 minutes, remove from all heat, give the rice a good stir and leave it covered until you are ready to eat. Since Basmati rice is an aromatic rice, you can add to it to bring out the flavours. Often people sweat off diced onions, a bay leaf and two to three cloves in oil. Then add your washed rice and water with a tablespoon of butter.

Follow the same cooking procedure and you will find it has a touch of flavour.

The French cook rice in an oven and it’s what we call Pilaf. You do not wash your rice but you cook it in a small amount of oil with some diced onions. Add twice the amount of water, butter, salt and pepper.

Wrap your pot tight with foil and place in the oven. This take a little longer than the stove top method but produces a different flavour.

I wish I could go on and maybe I can come back to rice another time as it does have such a long history and so many varieties that I could go on and on. I hope you try these new methods and stay away from the man made rice that is out there.

LISTEN IN by Jeff Liberty Growing up on the family farm I enjoyed a steady diet of daydreaming, clean living and Canadian country music compliments of our families Vinyl, cassette and 8-track collection. Fond memories included watching the musical variety shows the “Family Brown Country” on CJOH television in Ottawa and of course, The Tommy Hunter show on CBC. Canada’s first lady of Country music, Carroll Baker, was one of his frequent guests and a mainstay on our record player in the house. Baker even had her own series on CBC in the early 80’s.

Carroll Baker is making her return to Saint John at the Imperial Theatre on April 29, much too many area country music lovers’ joy! I sent her off some questions on how she was discovered and other things I had on my mind. Here is that interview!

“I was discovered by George Petralia at a Jamboree near Markham Ontario in 1969. I don't recall the exact date as I never was one for fine details. Anyway, I used to go there to do this Jamboree on Sundays, and George Petralia was there and approached me a few times about the possibility of making a

record. I kept insisting I was not interested in making a record, but he was relentless.

One evening, I thought I'm not sure about this guy, maybe I should tell him to go and talk to my husband. When he went to meet up with my husband John, I was approached by his wife Rasty, and she was an absolute wonderful lady so I thought hey, if he has a lovely wife like this he must be an okay guy.

“Listen In” - It's been a long time since you were last in Saint John to perform! What could a new fan going to see a Carroll Baker show expect?

“I am so looking forward to returning to Saint John. It has been many, many years since I last did a show there. I had been advised that my ticket sales would not be great there and that I should perhaps skip Saint John, and then we found out there were no weekend dates available at The imperial Theatre, it was looking pretty dark for the date. I really wanted to return so we went ahead and booked a Tuesday night, not the best day for a concert. When I saw ticket sales were slower in Saint John than any of my other concerts, I certainly was disappointed, but there was no way I wanted

to have the show cancelled due to lack of ticket sales. We would just have to find a way to make it work. My husband took over the date and we were on the hook for the loss if that was to happen.

It would be great to get a sell out so I could let the others know that all is well in Saint John with Country Music. However, if I don't sell out, the show will not be any different than any other show I do. The show is called Thanks For The Memories and I want to thank my fans in the area for their support. They will get the best show I can give them. Each person who is at that show deserves no less. I want them all to know. "I am 65”, "Still" alive, and "Singing" Live. I will prove it at the concert!!!”

HAMPTON FOOD BASKET NEWS The Hampton Food Basket is excited to be part of the NB Community Food Action Program. This new project is a collaboration between the Food Basket, Hampton Community Garden and the Hampton Wellness Strategy Network as a result of the community food mentoring program. Funding has been made available from the network with the goal of bringing the community together through FOOD! There is truth in the old

saying that’ “Where there is food, people will come”.

The first very successful session was held on April 3, with 14 people working together to cook and share a meal of vegetable bean soup, soda bread and fruit crisp; clients of the Food Basket joined with volunteers and a great time was had by all. Sincere thanks are extended to Saint Alphonsus Church for offering the facility, Don MacKenzie and Nancy Fox who collaborated on cooking skills, Jayne Wilbur for leading stretching exercises, the clients and volunteers and above all to Maureen Robichaud whose quick action

The cooking classes will be held twice a month as soon as the Community gardens are producing and the overall goal is that our clients will learn new cooking skills at the same time as enjoying fresh produce and being given the opportunity of growing their own produce in the garden.

CROSSWINDS RADIO BINGO Crosswinds Radio BINGO has been part of the Sussex community for almost one and a half years now. It’s Hard to believe that so much time has passed.

We would like to thank all of you who have played, the stores which selflessly sell the cards, CJCW radio station and the callers for their commitment to the success of Radio Bingo. It goes without saying that without the community support and the time and effort of the staff of Crosswinds, Radio BINGO would not be a reality.

We were asked by a recent winner “What do you do with the money you make?” A fair question, and one to which there is a reply. The expenses for this endeavour are numerous. The cost of the computer program, licensing, payment to the Radio Station and of course paying our winners are all paid before any profits are realized. All of our profits go back into programs for our 61 clients. Like most non-profit agencies, raising funds to support the work we do is a necessity, without which we would be unable to continue providing the variety of services that are available.

Crosswinds Annual Dinner & Auction and the Drive-In BINGO during the summer months along with Radio BINGO are our main fundraising events.

We would like to say congratulations to all our winners and thanks to all our supporters. The valuable work that Crosswinds offers in our community would not be possible without you.

This is an opportunity to say a big thank you to Cindy McDonald and the Sussex Drive-In, who so generously donate their facilities for Drive-In Bingo, which will begin in June.

GET FRESH WITH FOOD IS COCONUT OIL REALLY GOOD FOR YOU? The entire field of nutrition is an ever shifting slider on a scale that weighs the collective opinions of millions of educated professionals and researchers. It is for this reason that I always try to have an open mind towards new ideas and criticism.

Although, there are certain things that I have enough confidence to say that we know for sure. We know that the further a food is from its natural state, the less healthy it is likely to be. We know that refined sugars and high-fructose corn syrup are poisonous for the human body.

We also know that if you can’t most pronounce of the ingredients on package, than is not really food.

So when a customer challenges me about something I am confident about, it can turn my world upside down. Recently, a customer was upset that I would recommend coconut oil as a healthy option. She quoted canola oil as a healthy oil, showing a graph about the saturated fat content of different oils that she received

18 The Hampton Herald

from a dietician. Naturally, I thought this was not true. I felt inclined to write her a letter explaining what the research shows.

However, the research is not conclusive. I talked to Bruce Sweeney and he said, "…if you eat food the way nature intended, you will live the way nature intended!!!" He also pointed me to a couple articles, which paint a beautiful picture of the health benefits of coconut oil.

On the other side of the coin, coconut oil has one of the highest levels of saturated fat of any of the commonly consumed oils. For this reason, it has been warned against for those who struggle with heart problems.

There are, however, different types of saturated fats; some raise good cholesterol and others raise bad cholesterol. I read about coconut oil from about 15 credible sources and what it boils down to is a balanced scale of pros and cons. While I am 100% confident that canola oil is not healthy, coconut oil has time and a place.

Kris Carr, a cancer survivor who wrote Crazy Sexy Diet, wrote a very well expounded article about the subject that seems to be perfectly representative of

by Dave Wolpin

all the research I have done. Saying it better than I ever would, she concludes that, "coconut oil is neither a menace nor a miracle food. Coconut should be treated the same as other high-fat plant foods: enjoyed primarily as a whole food. It is loaded with fiber, vitamin E and phytochemicals and has powerful antimicrobial properties. However, it should be viewed like other concentrated oils: a food that provides a lot of calories with few nutrients. When your diet is high in concentrated fats, it can be difficult to meet your needs for other nutrients. Use some coconut oil when preparing specialoccasion treats, but don’t rely on it daily.

Base your diet on whole plant foods, and when you do use coconut oil, make sure it is organic and virgin." 0039

WELL RESTED THE TROUBLE WITH SHIFT WORK We are living in a “24/7 society.” Some stores are open 24 hours a day and some companies require shifts around the clock. Emergency services, hospitals and special care homes have patients who require 24 hour care. These workplaces have workers who are not living the normal 9-5, Monday to Friday work week. Store employees, emergency and healthcare workers, mineworkers are all living with a schedule that is unnatural for human beings. We are diurnal creatures, not nocturnal like owls and bats. Most of us wake up in the morning at the time we set our alarm clock. We spend our evenings watching TV, reading by artificial light, or on the computer. These devices of modern life have shifted our sleep schedule and made it shorter. If we did not have these devices, what our sleep look like? We would have the sunshine in the morning waking us up at dawn. In the evening, after the workday was done, the sun would go down and our evening

by Angie Cummings

would be lit by a fire for warmth and a lamp. This would result in an earlier wake time, but more importantly a much earlier bedtime.

Shift workers are required to function on a schedule opposite to our natural design.

They must get sleep during the day when light, noise, and their body’s natural sleep cycle is telling them to be awake. They must be alert, and productive during the time when their body wants to naturally go to sleep and regenerate for the next day. Night shift work often makes for poorer quality sleep and several less hours of sleep than is needed to be healthy and productive. The decrease in sleep can cause sleepiness during their night shift especially at the end of it, increased accidents, errors and injury and disharmony at home.

Here are a few tips that can make night shift more worker friendly: Avoid bright light on your way home; wear dark sunglasses or “blue light” blocking glasses that will limit the signal from the sun to your brain that it’s time to “wake up.”; Hunger might wake you, but so can

heartburn! Have a light snack and avoid caffeine and a greasy breakfast; Have a dark bedroom or wear a light blocking sleep mask. Wear earplugs and encourage family members to be considerate while you sleep. Stay in bed - you need 7.58 hours of good sleep; Address any suspected sleep disorders; Spend time with your family on your days off to keep your relationships healthy too!

SOMETHING SPECIAL? There are many ways that we can help you create something special to personalize the family gathering, ceremony, committal service or reception. You can gather remembrances of the person’s life based on what their talents or their interests were. Here are some questions you can ask yourself to come up with ideas.

• Family and Home - was home the center of their life?

How can you show it?

• Favorites - Colors, flowers, music, movies, quotes/sayings, and places.

• Beliefs and values - acknowledging the ideas and character qualities of precious and unique individuals.

• Recreation/Sports - golf, hiking, cribbage?

Opportunities abound for sports themes and community involvements.

• Career/Affilations and Lifestyle - Can a life’s work or passion be represented at a service? Absolutely.

• Hobbies and Achievements - Gardening, art, music? Everyone has special gifts.

Lets share them.

My family and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone and anyone involved in the benefit held for me on March 29th 2014, at the Hampton Legion. Although, it is impossible to mention all names I feel I can give a few shout outs! Many thanks to DX2 and Boyz Nite Out for donating their time to play both bands at the benefit. Imagine two bands!

A big shout out to Emilie Matheson who donated her yummy spaghetti sauce! All the girls from the Snow Centre, who did an awesome job in the kitchen, and waiting on tables, I am beyond grateful to you all! To Claudette Stacey and Joannie McKenney who organized the event; including setting up auction items and collecting the money. Everyone did their absolute best! To my sisters, Donna and Brenda, who have been a source of support before and during my illness. A special shout out to Wayne Dollar, my partner and shoulder to cry on, your support means everything and more. My sons, Eric and Tyler Giberson, who love me beyond.

Finally, my grandchildren who are a sense of support and they don’t really realize it; Brady, Lucy Giberson, Elijah and Avery Dollar. To my barn friends who continue their support.

The next phase of my treatment is coming up, the stem cell transplant. All medical koodos go to Dr. Reiman, Dr. Comeau and Dr. Connally for their ongoing support.

Finally, I have learned that we must not take life for granted (but we all do), live everyday to the fullest. I am truly blessed to have the family and friends surround me as they have.

With all my sincerity and gratefulness, Paula Cameron, a very happy Hampton resident.

NAUWIGEWAUK DARLING SENIORS NEWS The monthly meeting of the Nauwigewauk Darling Seniors was held in the Nauwigewauk Community Hall on April 14 at 1:30pm with 18 members in attendance. President Wes Hill welcomed everyone, O Canada was sung and the Lord’s Prayer was repeated in unison.

Secretary Nancy Ketchum was unable to attend, but the Minutes of the past meeting were read by member J. Hill.

Treasurer Donna Cameron gave the financial Report with all invoices being paid. Collection was received from members.

Various committee reports were given and entertainment was cards and games after the meeting. Birthday convenors, Jean Johnson, told members that four birthdays were being celebrated today for members Jane Henderson, Isabel Wanamaker, Dave Duffy and Laura Bonney.

At the recent Nauwigewauk Community Club Breakfast, nine members of the Seniors Club attended this event and it became a very social time for all in attendance.

Our member, Ruth Crowley, is very

proud of her grandniece, Sheryl Crowley, for being the selected artist who will create a mosaic mural; which will be eight feet by 16 feet in size and will be installed in the atrium of the new YMCA in Saint John. The design will celebrate relationships, which is the mandate of the YMCA. OUr congratulations go out to Sheryl and Ruth, you have every reason

to feel proud.

MUSINGS by Debbie Hickey TV WATCHING NEWEST DANGER? I don’t know if you have heard of the recent study on the health concerns of television watching. There have been a number of studies and reports and news articles regarding the western world’s sedentary lifestyle and the dangers of our excessive sitting. This latest is from researcher J. Lennert Veerman, of the University of Queensland, Australia, and colleagues in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, who state categorically "Every single hour of TV viewed may shorten life by as much as 22 minutes". this doesn’t sound like much, just 22 minutes, until you start to do the math. Here goes . . .

Further online research seems pretty consistent that the average Canadian adult watches 30 hours of television per week. Over a 52 week period that would be 1560 hours per year, which is 65 days

(those are 24 hour days folks). That would be better than 2 months per year. If each hour watched is indeed a 22 minute reduction in your lifespan, that is 572 hours per year, 23.8 days . . . over three weeks per year. Still doesn’t seem that scarely. Three weeks, phtt . . . so what. But wait. If you consider the longer term, say just to age 75, those numbers get more serious. From age 20 to age 75, that is 85,800 hours (9.79 YEARS) of watching tv. Using that same 22/60 ratio, that adult television watcher will live 3.59 years less than the non TV watcher. And likely be less healthy during those latter years to boot.

Let’s get real though. I don’t actually expect millions of adults to just turn off the television tomorrow (although the advertising dollars that could drive to print publications like ours would be wonderful!). A more realistic suggestion would be to get up and move at least a

little rather than spend the whole time sitting. Get rid of the remote and get up to change the channel. Take a walk around the living room during every commercial break. Drag out that old stationary bike and put in a few miles (okay kilometers) while watching the news. According to Dr Oz, walking just ten extra minutes per day can gain you 2 more years of life. That might not totally negate the TV watching, but it all helps.

“If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.” ~ John Lennon. 0002
