Fo0-od Sensé in Canada- NO NONSENSE Withisn Reach - Health at the Start Within reach of practicaiiy ail babies is good health and a wel developed body one of the most preclous endowments Cana- dian parents can give. Such a start in life isa family affair. The babys health at birth is affected by food habits - its family's food habits. The mother's iong-time food likes and dislikes, in her parent's home and how she cooks to please her husband, ail affect her and her unborn child, although possibly differently. The Bakery Foods Foundation of Canada's nutrition con-. sultant, Joan Fielden, says, "science holds out a bright hope for parents. Mothers who have excellent or good diets during pregnancy - and before pregnancy - have good prospects for a bouncing, healthy baby, one that is weii developed." Getting ready for baby - particuiariy the flrst one -- is a big event. A most important part is to choose an adequate diet, one which supplies enough of each needed nutrierit. Science is finding that diet in the first months of pregnancy - and even before - may have a profound effect on the developiflg chlld. Says Joan Filden, "A rnother-in-waiting. adjusts her food needs under the direction of her doctor. Whiie her demarids for calories willi ncrease only moderately, her need for protein, calcium and iron* wiii rise sharply. Requir ements for, vitamin C and the B vitamins - >thiamine, riboflavin and niacili - also increase. To take care of these chan~ges, eat plerity of meats, eggs and dairy produots, fruits and vegetables'. Fortunatei 'y, inexpensive foods, such as P.E.i. potatoes and enriched bread are protective ones. According ta studies made at various universities of diets of expectant motheis from modest income groups* enriched bread prevented deficiericies of twa B vitamins - ribofiavin and niacin - and iron, a nd supplied substantial quantities of protein and calcium. Thé studies also revealeci that potatoees, popular wlth'this groLJp, furnished sufficient vitamin C and additional iran. 104 harwood, Ajax-Plaza, Ajax, Ontro 94261 ,5ç DISTINCTIVE LUXURY HOMES IN OSHAWA Brooklin Horticultural So- ciety participated at the Trade Fair during the 197-4 -~- CountvTFown Carnivai.
