Certified NutnitionsSt 983-8278 Nutrition Cunselling & Lifestyle -B'Iaac One of the best loved veg- etables is the canrot. Children are drawn to its bright colour and sweet taste at an early age and the relationship often continues into adulthood. The canrot is associated with healthy eyes, but its impact on health goes well beyond the eyes. The canrot provides a good supply of the anti-oxident nutrients. 0f these, it is par- ticularly well known as an excellent source of beta- carotene, which the body con- verts to vitamin A as needed. The canrot also contains min- erals, fiber, water and is very low in fat. The nutrients in the carrot help feed the epithelial celîs., These celîs are like your "inside skin" and lîne the nasal passages and lungs, the> digestive sys- tem, parts of the reproductive system, and the eyes. Like the "outside skin" these celîs work hard to protect the body from invaders. Canrots are a welcome addition to any diet, but are especially beneficial to people who have eye, lung or digestive problems. They also benefit those who chal- lenge these parts of their body, such as smokers, house cleaners and others who are frequently exposed to air pollution, drivers, com- puter users', t watchers and others who put signîficant strain on their eyes; junk food addicts, drinkers of alcohol and others who make their digestive system work, over- time. If the digestive system has been pushed too hard and is responding with diar- rhea, the nutrients in canrots can help restore balance. In this case carrot juice or mashed carrots would pro- vide the most benefit. When choosing carrots look for ones that are firm, bright orange in colour'and have a smooth skn. Limp carrots or carrots that are black near the top are not fresh. If the carrots were bought wth greens attached, cut off the greens before stor- ing to avoid loss of moisture. Carrots keep quite well in a perforated plastic bag in the crisper of your refrigerator. Don't store them with apples or pears as these fruits give off gases. that will cause the canrot to rot. Carrots do carry pesti- cides, but exposure can be reduced by peeling the canrot and cutting off at least 1/4 inch of the top, then wash- ing. If you are juicing car- rots, or eating them on a daily basis, it is a good idea to choose those that are organ- ically grown. Fortunately, sources are fairly easy to find as many organic growers include canrots in their crop. Encourage your local grower to carry organîc canrots. Most grocers will respond positive- ly to carrying any product they know they can seli. Canrots are wonderful raw and, unlike many vegetables, continue to keep the majority of their nutrients when cooked lightly. The best method is steaming, however any process that allows the carrot to heat through and soften slightly is acceptable. Cut the carrot into small pieces or long strips when feeding children or others who may choke on the coin shapes. Finely chopped car- rots mixed with raisins pro- vides an attractive and nutri- tious snack, or a colourful addition t0 a meal. Like pota- toes and onions, canrots are here to help northerners sur- vive through the winter. Try mixing mashed potatoes with fînely chopped canrots and onions for a tasty combina- tion. Healthy food helps your body achieve and maintain good health. Do something nice for yourself today - have a canrot! contlnued fron Page 13 to seeds that sprouted in a museum Iab I isouthwest China last month". Nothing really remarkable in that -- tomatèes are one of God's more fool proof crops. Heck, even 1cati grow themn. What makes the Chinese tomatoes kind of special is that they were found in a bamboo tube in an excavated tomb dating fÉom the Han Dynasty. Which would make them approximately 2,000 years old. Apparently the tomatoes were more elongated'than their twentieth century cousins, but they tasted just the samne. One last tale from the hor- ticultural pages, then I must get back to my composting. This story isn't about garden- ing perse, -but it involves food -- and the strategic military use thereof. It seems a Frenchman by the namne of Jean Bucquoy is setting up boot camps in the Belgian backwoods to train cream pie terrorists. Commander Bucquoy heads up the International Pastry Brigade. Their mission: to comb the world rooting out -those who believe themselves to be superior" -- and to throw a cream pie in their face. Commander Bucquoy practices what he preaches. He was arrested for hurling a pie at the French Minister of Culture. Commander Bucquoy dlaims it was a snafued offen- sive.. He'd really meant to throw the 'pie at Sylvester Stallone, but the movie star showed up too late.' Personally, I 'mn prepared to become the Canadian liai- son for the Save Jean Bucquoy Defense Fund. Any organization that wants to crearu pie Sylvester Stallone can't be ail bad. Reduce stress and enjoy the seasori (NC)-The holiday season i, a joyful one, but with so much going on. it can easily become stressful. Ail of a suddeni, you have parties to attend, shopping, baking and decorating to do, and too littie time! Here are a few ways to handle stress before it gets out of control. Take a deep breath. You might be surprised to find hiow relaxing a deep breath can be. Place both hands on your belly and take a deep breath through your nose. Feel your dia- phragm expand out and down as your stomach rises. Make sure not to mnove your shoulders. Hold tho4-breath for a few seconds, then exhale slowly, and empty your lungs completely. Repeat three times, then breathe regularly for a few minutes and repeat again. 1Try an -attitude adjustmeat. Take a moment to relive a happy memoiy and feel the experience all over again. Shed some light on it. Light a few softly scented canidies, sit down, put your feet up and enjoy a few minutes of private relaxation. Take a bath. Soak in a luxurious bubble bath fragranced with revitaliz- ing or relaxing aromatherapy bath products.
