FITNESS FARE: By: Bar- bara Weese, R.0. S. Speciaiist (Home Economics) Food is the fuel for ail ex- ercise, from pushing a peu to running a marathon. Eating the right kinds of food in- fluences how you feel, look and perform. During the growth spurt, diet and exer- cise have more effect on physicai development than at any other time of lîfe.

For example, each member will: 1. Take a look at their own food habits, particularly breakfast, lunch and snack- ing. 2. Learn some techniques for weight control. 3. Find out how much stamina or endurance they have compared to other Canadians of the same age. 4. Take their resting heart rate and learn why it's impor- tant. Recipes prepared at the meetings are low in fat, high in fibre, flot too sweet and' taste good. For those who like to compete, there will be a p re-game meal and infor- mation on carbohydrate loading. Low-fat methods of cooking are stressed for those whose interest is weight con- trol.
