In a speech to the Bowmanville Men's Canadian Club on Wednesday, February 2, at St. John's Anglican Church, he shared with his audience a common- sense "recipe" for healthy living. Mr. Tippins first praised the great strides in medicine and pharmacology pharmacology over the last 40 years. "In the early fifties penicillin and sulpha were about all we had for fighting infection," Mr. Tippins said, adding that since then there has been an explosion of new drugs on the market for treating a broad spectrum of diseases. On his list of excellent new medications medications were today's synthetic antibiotics antibiotics and cortizonc as well as beta- blockers for cardiac problems, nonsteroidal nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for pain, the H2 antagonists for healing stomach ulcers (adid inhibitors), vas- otec for-high blood pressure and so on-in short, "a pill for every ill." Having said that, Mr. Tippins then went on to present his recipe for good health: "Begin with a balanced diet incorporating incorporating the four basic food groups with increased intake of the complex carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables and whole grains) along with six to eight glasses of water a day." Mr. Tippins is also a believer in vitamin supplements, supplements, comparing them to a "farmer spreading fertilizer on his fields to improve the yield and quality of his crop." He cautioned, however, ' against mega-doses of vitamins, preferring preferring instead a normal supplement with a complete formulation. Buying the "house-brand", Mr. Tippins estimates, estimates, makes the cost of supplementing supplementing approximately $22.00 per year, which is pretty "cheap insurance". Specifically mentioned were the antioxidents, vitamins A, C and E, plus copper, manganese and zinc, which protect the body from oxygen breakdown (the way lemon juice keeps an apple from turning brown). A balanced diet should always be accompanied by some form of enjoyable enjoyable moderate exercise, at least three times weekly. Stress, according to Mr. Tippins, is necessary for a healthy life. "Positive "Positive stress in the form of challenges and new experiences keeps us alert and alive." He gave us an.example of good stress, an activity such as kissing. kissing. " ' Bad stress, on the other had, if not handled properly, results in negative physical reactions, such as headaches, headaches, ulcers, heart attacks and high blood pressure, or in emotional problems problems like feelings of dread,-guilt, anger, anger, lack of self-confidence and difficulty difficulty in making decisions. Mr. Tippins suggested the following following ways to combat negative stress: "Simplify your life; get your priorities priorities straight; finish things you start; learn relaxation techniques; enjoy a body massage; alternate your routine with changes of pace, and stop smoking." smoking." To fight the common cold, Mr. Tippins recommended the old home remedies of rest, chicken soup and simple over-the-counter preparations to relieve symptoms, but warned diabetics diabetics or anyone on medication to read labels carefully. Also, though he admitted there is no conclusive proof it helps, Mr. Tippins believes extra vitamin C is sometimes beneficial.

From Page 2 All these jobs put income and taxes taxes back into our local economy. It seems strange that anyone would oppose oppose new money to support the tax base and school boards in a municipality municipality crying for a larger economic base. Besides, funeral homes can't be all that bad, after all everyone is just dicing dicing to go to one. Show Boat Thursday night, Feb. 10, thanks to some cheaply-priced seats, this reporter reporter took in the production Show Boat at the North York Performing Arts Centre. If you've not been to the elegant North York Performing Arts Centre, it is worth the trip to the big TO just to view. Back to the show: the scenery was superb, the singing was fantastic. For the most part, the set changes happened happened right before your eyes as they were incorporated into the show. While some folks may think of the show as being racist, it is also sexist. But, that is how things were back then. And still arc to some extent. It was a delightful show. But you really must leave your soapboxes at the door if you want to be entertained. The spine-tingling singing performances performances of Michel Bell singing "01 Man River" will send shivers through you and the sweetness of Mark Jacoby and Rebecca Luker singing "I Have the Room Above Her" entices the viewer further into the production. I found myself awed by tire delightful delightful scenery and the beautiful voices voices of those in the production. It was a show to remember!
