Tips to eat better and healthier
Written by Jody Johnson
The push is on to eat healthy.
The Grey Bruce Health Unit Board of Health is learning how to do just that as members took a recent tour of the Owen Sound A P grocery store.
Public Health Dietitian, Kathryn Forsyth says anti-oxidants and fibre are crucial for a healthy diet.
A good source of both is found in apricots, mangos and pomegranates.
Forsyth says the key to chosing fruit and vegetables is too look for vibrant colours.
Owen Sound Mayor Ruth Lovell says its good to learn about the updated Canada food guide, portion sizes and the sugar content in many produce items.
Lovell says she has always been very conscious of what she eats.
Grey County Warden Bob Pringle says it was a good tour with good information.
He says we are not all eating as healthy as we probably should be.
Pringle says there needs to be more awareness and public education.
Bruce County Warden Mitch Twolan says he eats too much - but not enough fruits and vegetables each day.
He adds it will be a very hard to give up Bruce County beef.
