Rimbey family has New Year’s baby and also had 2013’s New Year’s Baby
By Treena Mielke
Jen and Dillon Kroetch from Rimbey have done it again.
Not only have they had another baby, a sister for two-year-old Zachary and four-year-old Rachel, they have achieved the no-torious claim to fame of having Rimbey’s New Year’s baby.
Twice! Sweet little Olivia Marie arrived at 3:27
p.m. at the Rimbey Hospital on Jan. 5. The beautiful little lady made her entrance into the world with a head full of black hair and soft dewy skin and was Rimbey’s first ar-rival of 2015.
As it so happens, Olivia’s brother, who is now two-years-of-age arrived at the Rim-bey Hospital at 9:34 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2013, the first arrival of that year.
It was déjà vu for the family when the media arrived to take their picture.
“Here we are again,” said the smiling mom.
Although the babies were both first ar-rivals in Rimbey, there were some differ-ences.
Zachary was due Dec. 27, 2012. Olivia was due Dec. 29, 2014.
Zachary arrived at 9:34 a.m. Jan. 1 after his mom experienced contractions off and on beginning at around 3:30 a.m.
Olivia was born at 3:27 in the afternoon of Jan. 5 after only a few hours of labour.
“It went pretty quick,” said Kroetch. A new baby in the house to love and
cuddle and watch grow is exciting for the whole family and Kroetch is happy with the age difference between her three children.
“They are perfectly spaced out and they will have a friend, always,” she said.
A new baby in the house to love and cuddle and watch

is happy with the age difference between her three
children.“They are perfectly spaced out and they will have a

When Zachary was born the Kroetch family lived outside of Rimbey near the Medicine Lake Road, but they have since moved to town, so the trip to the hospital was very short.
“You can see the hospital out of my
kitchen window,” said Kroetch. “It’s very close.”
As coincidence would have it, on Janu-ary 5, 16 years ago, Kroetch’s cousin Re-becca Schafer was born in the Rimbey Hos-pital. She, too, was the New Year’s baby.

shock over once-trusted politiciansThe betrayal they feel as they
contemplate the scandalous aban-donment of democratic principles held by once-trusted politicians will not heal quickly; nor should it.
They are stung and justifiably hurt by actions that mock notions of noble public service and trust.
But let us be clear: Albertans have not lost the opposition they elected. I am here, as new Wildrose interim leader and leader of Alberta’s official Opposition, to send a clear message: our party is rejuvenated and determined.
My colleagues and I will con-tinue to hold this government to ac-count. We will work tirelessly to maintain your trust and will hold true to the values and prin-ciples the Wildrose party and, we believe, Alber-tans stand for. As Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposi-tion, we will speak not just for those people who voted for us. We speak for all Albertans who ex-pect the very best from those they elect to serve on their behalf.
We believe the people of this province de-serve not only an effective Opposition, they also need a party and individuals fiercely committed
to putting forward positive ideas that will lead to an even better and stronger Alberta. This does not mean governing only in the pur-suit of the maintenance of power, but in the pursuit of that which best serves the people.
We will continue to be the fis-cal watchdog for this province. This means establishing needs before wants, and always remem-bering that it is our job to put the interests of Albertans, not politi-cians, or special interests, first. This means an efficient govern-ment dedicated to working to-ward genuine, honestly balanced
budgets within a stable, long-term fiscal frame-work based on sound public policy. And it means keeping promises to put a stop to borrowing and mortgaging the future of our children and grand-children. In the months ahead, you will continue to see us lay out our ideas to better achieve this vision.
We will work relentlessly to ensure Alberta has the tools in place to keep our markets free and to grow our economy. We will speak up for health care professionals and patients to ensure
they are treated fairly, and that all Albertans have timely access to the care they deserve. We will speak up for children, parents and teachers to ensure we maintain a world-class education sys-tem.
And of course, we remain fully committed to strengthening democracy. Recent behaviours have, if anything, fortified our resolve. This is a pivotal moment for Albertans. Their choices have never been more clear.
There is one party committed only to power, supported by politicians who long ago lost the ability to distinguish what is best for the party from what is best for the people of this province. Then there is the Wildrose: a party for the people with principles that bind Albertans from every background, from every corner of our great prov-ince. We stand committed to bringing govern-ment back into the hands of everyday Albertans.
I want to thank everyone who has rallied behind us. We will not forget, nor will we give up. Our mission continues. Wildrose has already strengthened Alberta. We invite you to join us in our resolve to make it even better.

Visiting still remainsone of the very bestcommunication tools
Christmas is done.In fact, 2014 is done.2015 gives each and every
one of us the opportunity to start over. Begin again. And, that, in itself, has to be a good thing.
Starting over. Starting again. Okay, just starting!
It is nice to know the new year provides the challenge presented by a whole new set of hours, days and months set within the framework of a year. A time yet to be lived, to grow, to learn and to simply be.
It’s all good.For all of us, 2015 will, no doubt, present new chal-
lenges, and one of the most important, if not the most im-portant, will be communication.
Communication is the gold key that unlocks doors that lead to progress and learning, friendship and understand-ing.
And while I know texting, tweeting, bluetooths, cell phones, ipads and iphones are buzz words in today’s busy, hurry up, get ‘er done world, there is another communi-cation tool, texters with their busy little fingers, would do well to remember.
It’s called ‘visiting.’I was fortunate enough to experience the age-old art of
visiting recently, and it was as precious and delightful as a lovely, hand written letter.
They lived out west of the fifth somewhere, past the old Brown farm, driving slowly until you got to the fencepost with the owl on it and then turning right again, past the fro-zen slough, and finally up to the old farmhouse.
It was like driving through a scene in the movie, Dr. Zhivago, so white it was, the fields broken only by deep green slashes of Evergreens, their branches obligingly spread out to catch the falling snow, cascading gently down like little clusters of white diamonds.
So quiet. So still. So absolutely breath-takingly beautiful.
We arrived, tramping into the house with a friendly Collie dog at our heels and the smell of freshly cut wood in our nostrils.
And as we shut the door on winter, we were welcomed with smiles and hugs and mugs of steaming hot coffee.
And as the wall clock ticked away the afternoon, we participated in one of the best forms of communication known to man.
We visited.I don’t even think the best part of the
visit was verbal. After all, we didn’t talk about anything very much at all. We chatted about the lovely white cat who seemed to be made up mostly of this mop of fur and not much else, we admired the Christmas tree that hadn’t yet been taken down, we talked about absent family members and the price of hay.
But, mostly we just sat on an old leather couch and absorbed the heat emitting pow-
erfully from an old wood stove set up in the corner of the living room.
The heat was like a drug, and as leth-argy overtook me, I kept nodding off, fight-ing drowsiness in the name of politeness, unlike the kitten in my lap, who purred and napped contentedly.
It was good to be there, to be quiet and still, petting a warm and soft feline made up mostly of fur that purred and look out the window at a world frozen to a standstill by the month of January.
And, I do believe as much as 2015 will bring challenges, including new and inno-vative ways to communicate, it is important to remember what worked well in the past still holds true today.
Face-to-face visiting.Awesome! It worked for our grandmas
and grandpas and it still works today.Weird!And, personally, I think it’s even better
than texting.

As Alberta residents slip and slide through another win-ter, commuting on icy roads, dealing with daily pressures of employment, rising costs and an uncertain economy, the importance of holistic health takes on an even higher prior-ity.
Alicia Jerome, who is now offering guided meditation at the Peter Lougheed Community Centre, wants to help others learn and appreciate the benefits of this form of stress relief.
“Everybody is stressed. Everybody has so much on their plate. Guided meditation helps people to stop and be still and focus on their breath.”
The primary objective of guided meditation is to learn how to relax. People who participate in the practice are en-couraged to find a focus point in the body and begin to relax that part. While staying focused, all the muscles are encouraged to relax and, finally, the mind is able to let go of stressful thoughts and relax as well.
“You just need to focus on your breath and be still.”Jerome said as a general rule people are so busy and
when they join a guided meditation class and allow them-selves to simply relax they may find themselves falling asleep.
“I encourage that, if you feel the need to fall asleep, you probably need to. We need to bring back the nap. Remem-ber when you were a kid and the freedom of just taking the time to lay down in the grass and stare up at the sky. Nobody has to teach meditation to kids, they already know how to do it. But for adults, meditation gives you the op-portunity to experience that freedom again.”
Jerome said she first began meditating when she was 18-years-old and was diagnosed with an autoimmune dis-ease. Meditation helped her find a balance, relieve stress and, it seemed that when she was able to let go of her wor-ries through guided meditation, her symptoms disappeared.
Jerome, who is a councillor and yoga instructor, began offering classes at the community centre through Rimbey recreation department earlier this month. Classes are held upstairs from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays.
“It is much easier to practice guided meditation with a group of people,” she said.

Springdale Players on stage for Liberty
Hall Dinner Theatre performancesBy Treena Mielke
The Springdale Players, a talented group of local ac-tors, will soon be back on stage once again, bringing to its audience a delightful tale of murder, mystery and intrigue.
Liberty Hall Dinner Theatre will present the Pat Cook play, ‘You have the right to remain dead’, throughout Feb-ruary.
Director Connie Jensen said performers have been re-hearsing for several weeks for the performances and she is confident the play will be a great success.
“It is a murder mystery,” she said. “It is about an act-ing troupe who is putting on a play and someone shows up dead.”
The fact that actors are playing the role of actors at-tempting to solve the mystery of the murder gives the play a unique and unusual twist.
The audience will be invited to put their thinking caps on to help solve the mystery.
“There will be lots of blackouts and laughter and people running around,” said Jensen. “It will be lots of fun and I think people will be happy with the show.”
Veteran actors Pam Perry, Karen and Merv Steeves, Ernie Closs, Trish Matthews and Journey Giesbrecht are included in this year’s cast of five men and five women.
Tickets are available for performances on Feb. 6, 7, 13,
“It is a murder mystery. It is about an acting troupe who is
putting on a play and someone shows up dead.”

Rimbey RCMP continue to deal with domestic assault incidents drug related charges, break and enters, car chases and highway fatalities
Rimbey RCMP detachment investigated 55 files this week. Highlights include another drug bust, more domestic disputes, impaired drivers, car chases, break and enters, theft and other serious matters.
Dangerous driver chargedOn January 2 at approximately 1:30 a.m., a 30-year-
old man from Rimbey was observed driving erratically in a Chevrolet Cavalier. When the patrolling officer activated the emergency lights and siren the driver took off westbound out of town attempting to flee from the pursuing officer. Police cornered the culprit when he turned down a dead end road then hit the ditch trying to go around the roadblock. Police arrested the accused, who was high on cocaine, for impaired driving. Police seized and impounded the car and located and seized cocaine as well. The man briefly spent time in the Rimbey Hospital then made himself at home in the Crowbar Hotel where he was held in custody. This dangerous driver faces numerous criminal charges and will appear in court in February. Domestic assault incidents
Unfortunately, the festivities around New Year’s Eve didn’t end for some folks who continued to partake in spir-its and found themselves in trouble with the law. Police re-sponded to several incidents of domestic assault and in one case a man has been charged with assault with a weapon. There is no tolerance for spousal abuse. If you have found that your drinking has affected your judgment and is caus-ing tensions at home, please reach out for help now before the police have to get involved. Rimbey and District Victim Services Unit is available to assist you and your loved ones in your time of need. Please call (403) 843-8494 for more information. Drug bust made
Rimbey RCMP continued to track down drug dealers in
our community and made a significant bust this week. Of-ficers executed a search warrant at a hotel room with the as-sistance of officers from Sylvan Lake Detachment. Mount-ies arrested a 24-year-old female on more than a dozen outstanding warrants and seized cocaine, meth, marihuana, GHB and cash during the raid. Your local detachment will continue to pursue illegal activities in our community and put those criminals behind bars who choose to break the law. Baseball bat used in beating
Around midnight on January 8, a local man called 911 after an assailant broke into his home and beat him with a baseball bat. Mounties and EMS quickly responded to the residence. The victim was transported to the hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries. Police attend-ed the suspect’s residence and arrested the 30-year-old and took him straight to jail. The accused faces countless charges, including break and enter, assault with a weapon and other serious offences. Alcohol was a factor in this case and both men are well known to police.
Police respond to fatalitiesPolice attended numerous major collisions in the last
couple weeks including fatalities on Highway 20 and High-way 22. Winter driving conditions and impaired driving are constant factors. In one case, on Highway 22 west of Rimbey, the impaired driver was pronounced deceased at the scene. Please exercise caution when driving on roads that are icy. NEVER use cruise control unless the road is completely dry. Plan ahead and take extra time to get to your destination and NEVER ...EVER drink and drive!
Have a blessed and prosperous new year everyone! We look forward to serving you this upcoming year.

Zaheen Nanji
By Treena Mielke
Having fun with like-minded women, enjoying a day packed full of interesting sessions and listening to an inspirational keynote speaker are all part of this year’s Rimbey annual women’s conference.
This year marks the twenty-ninth women’s confer-ence and, once again, a full day of enjoyment including shopping opportunities from a variety of vendors, a ca-tered lunch and prizes will be part of the agenda.
The theme for this year’s conference to be held Feb. 5 at the Peter Lougheed Centre is Expanding Your Ho-rizons.
Keynote speaker Zaheen Nanji will open the confer-ence with her presentation entitled Unlock the Power of You.
No stranger to challenges, Nanji, who is originally from Kenya, learned to live in a new country at the age of 15, all the while struggling with weight and a speech impediment.
The inspirational speaker will also close the con-ference with her talk on Embracing Change. During her presentation she will speak about the seven steps and one specific crucial step necessary for accepting change.
Sessions offered during the conference are varied and give all participants a wide selection to choose from.
For those interested in expanding their creative side, Chelsea Datema of Jerzi’z Skye Designz offers a hands-
on workshop on the art of repurposing old furniture to create unique one of a kind pieces.
Two Cuban chefs, Alexei Suarez and Odofvany Ro-driguez from Rimbey’s own Henry’s Restaurant will offer a session on Cuban cooking. The chefs are gradu-ates of Chef’s School in Club and combine Cuban and Western cuisine to make unique culinary culture.
For those ladies who want to ensure they can defend themselves if necessary, Tom Grbich, an international speaker, trainer and coach will offer some pointers in self-defence.
Also offered will be a course on Top Travel Trends to help create the perfect vacation. Presenter Sandy McLary received the Rising Star Platinum Award for best overall agent and has lots of new ideas for travel-lers.
A representative from Blooms, Rimbey’s original flower shop will offer a session on creating Fairy Gar-dens and Cheryl Jackson will help you add versatility to your wardrobe with a session on scarf tying.
After lunch, participants will have the opportunity to enjoy comedians Steve Mazan (Emmy award winner) and James Uloth, who will give the humorous side to every day situations.
Registration forms for this year’s women’s confer-ence are available at Rimbey FCSS and also at some local businesses.
For more information about the conference contact Rimbey Family and Community Support Services at 403-843-2030.
Women’s conference coming soon
By Treena Mielke
Zaheen Nanji, the keynote speaker at the Rimbey’s Women’s Conference, coming Feb. 5 promises to pro-vide her audience with an inspirational message well worth listening to.
Nanji, who will celebrate her 40th birthday on Feb. 2, came to Canada from Kenya at the tender age of 15. She came to the strange country accompanied only by an older sister. The girl’s mother believed Canada to be safer for her girls and she sent them to live with family in Edmonton.
When Nanji arrived in Canada she was faced with the challenge of learning to live in a strange coun-try without her parents. It was a frightening time for the young girl who also struggled with stuttering.
“I had stuttered since the age of five,” she said. “I couldn’t even say my name without stuttering.”
Stuttering left Nanji shy and self conscious and she found it increasingly difficult to express herself verbally.
When she was 19 and attending university she became convinced she would fail the classes be-cause she could not speak without stuttering.

By June Norvila
The Bentley school staged their second Winter Classic hockey game on December 12 at the local arena.
During the game, junior and senior students faced off against teachers and staff at the local arena. All were sporting Bentley Canucks jerseys.
There was a lot of thought and preparation for the event.There was a raffle table with numerous donated items, a
silent auction item of a Paul Postma No.4 Winnipeg Jets signed jersey, and a 50/50 draw. There were many students and volun-teers manning tables and acting as Santa’s helpers and passing out candy canes to the spectators. A student Santa from Grade 9 with elf helpers even made circuits around the arena.
O’ Canada was sung by Kelsey Vig with the Canada flag being held by a skater.
The volunteer linesmen were two graduates of the school - Carson Schneider and Nathan Dennehy.
The referee was Grade 3 student Cooper Moore who was impressive with his great skill and speed and dedication to the game. Although he was dwarfed by everyone else on the ice he still had control of the game most of the time. He was back and forth and up and down the entire ice surface faster and more times than anyone else.
The announcer was very professional. In fact, he is almost a professional. Kris Lindberg now announces for the Bentley Generals games, some Blackfalds junior games and some Syl-van Lake minor hockey games, and was in the booth for the Sylvan Lake Kraft Hockeyville NHL game between Calgary and Phoenix on September 24, 2014.
What a bunch of good sports!At times it was hard to tell the students from the teachers
because some of the students are just as tall or taller and are better hockey players than the adults.
The first period was regular hockey. From a spectator’s untrained point of view it was hard to tell who was who be-cause of all the hockey gear and helmets with face masks on everybody.
The second period consisted of skills competitions for the fastest skater, and toboggan races with one rider and two pull-ers per team, and a shoot out.
It was all in good fun and the score didn’t matter and it ap-peared that goalies were exchanged for the third period.
Courtney MacMillian and Scott Maetche, teachers at the school, organized the event.
More than $1,200 was raised from the event. It went to-wards the purchase of gift cards that were given to families in the Families-in-Need program at the school so they could purchase what they needed. A little gift bag for each was also included.
As long as support is good the event will continue, a repre-sentative from the school says.

It’s that time of year again: your toes are numb, your cheeks are rosy, and it’s time to turn up the thermostat. As Canadians, we know these signs all too well – Old Man Winter is back in town.
We may be well trained to bundle up before stepping outside, but with frigid overnight temperatures and rising heating costs, it pays to bundle up and seal your home before the deep freeze hits. Follow these simple tips to keep your home toasty warm and your heating bills low.
Tip 1: Change furnace filtersIt won’t work like a dream if it’s not clean. Be sure
to replace or clean furnace filters once a month during the peak heating season.
Tip 2: Find the leaks and fill ‘em upSince windows and doors are the main culprits for
letting hot air escape, an effective way to help mini-mize these leaks is by applying an insulating film to windows, doors and rooms that get little use. Another option is weather stripping doors and windows. It does come with a little labour, but Cottage Life personality, Colin Hunter, offers some do-it-yourself tips to help minimize the impact and strain on your body. “If you begin feeling aches and pains when working around the house, make sure you change your work environment before it intensifies or potentially causes more serious damage,” says Hunter. “Taking a moment to stretch is helpful, as well as investing in a proven anti-fatigue mat that relieves stress on the knees and back, such as my favourite, the Stanley Utility Mat. It can do won-ders for preventing pain.”
Tip 3: Run fans in reverseBy switching the ceiling fan’s rotation from coun-
ter-clockwise to clockwise you can circulate warm, rather than cold, air. When hot air pools near the ceil-ing, the clockwise rotation brings it back into the living space.

Almost 40 volunteers assisted more than 300 people who attended the 17th Bentley Santa’s Breakfast on December 13 at the Blindman Valley Ag centre from 9 to11a.m.
The free breakfast/brunch, cooked by Community Chest Society volunteers, in-cluded fresh cooked pancakes, juice and coffee, Christmas oranges, and yogurt cups, all set up in a buffet help-yourself style.
Ongoing entertainment included perfor-mances by some members of the Red Deer Rhythmic Gymnastics Club and some Jen-nifer Johnson Music students.
Children were assisted with face paint-ing by the Bentley Boutique gals, made crafts sponsored and coordinated by the Stay and Play Program volunteers, and wrote letters to Santa with Bentley Museum volunteers helping, and had the chance for an up-close-and-personal visit with Santa himself. Families were busy snapping pic-
tures and each child was given the choice of a free book to take home with guidance from Santa’s helper elves.
Kathi Issler once again captured a piece of Bentley’s history in another of her gin-gerbread, icing, and candy creations: this time she reproduced the historic Oxford school building. The lucky winner was Jana Halladay from Bentley who donated it back to be shared in a place “where more can enjoy it” she said.
More volunteers and financial aid were also from the local fire department, local library, TOPS, the ag society, Slivers Cus-tom Wood Products, Hans Gelsing Innotech dealer, and many individuals.
Donations at the door helped cover the cost of the event. Any profit realized will go towards a future children’s program.
Santa’s celebration was coordinated/sponsored by the Town of Bentley Commu-nity Services.

Healthy brainsare linked tohealthy lives
As we get older, our minds can stall and lapse. You might wonder if this is a “senior moment” or the early signs of dementia.
MyHealth.Alberta.ca describes dementia as a loss of mental skills—such as memory, problem-solving, and learning—that’s bad enough to interfere with your daily life. It usually gets worse over time.
While dementia is more common as we age, it is not part of normal aging.
Research is finding the risk of dementia in later years can be reduced with healthy brain development in early years. Your brain’s development begins well before you are born and continues throughout life. Our early experiences shape how our brains are built. A strong foundation increases the chances of living a lon-ger, happier and more inde-pendent life. A weak foun-dation increases the risks of developing dementia.
Some factors that can reduce risk include control-ling the use of drugs and alcohol, protecting yourself from head injuries by wear-ing a helmet when doing activities such as cycling and skiing and continuing to build your brain through education opportunities.
What is good for your heart is also good for your brain. It doesn’t matter if it’s walking, jogging, swim-ming or yoga, if it gets your heart pumping and your blood moving, it can help your brain stay healthy. One theory is that the increased blood flow to the brain due to exercise helps increase thinking and memory skills, and could protect against dementia, stroke and Al-zheimer’s disease.
Coping with stress and maintaining good mental health are also important as are keeping in touch with friends and family and do-ing activities you like. Re-membering and thinking, whether through board or card games or attending lec-tures or courses, preserve brain function. Learning a new language or computer program also appears to be beneficial. The long-term benefits of online “brain games” have yet to be es-tablished.
Remember, it’s never too late to start to improve your brain’s health.

Keynote speaker teaches women steps needed to embrace changeContinued from page 8
However, she began treatment for her stuttering and slowly was able to overcome the speech impediment.
“It’s not just cured overnight and you have to learn how to overcome your fears,” she said.
In 2005, Nanji gave birth to a daughter, Arissa, and at that point in her life she became even more deter-mined to continue her quest for self-improvement and self-esteem.
She was particularly impressed with Michael Losier’s book, The Law of Attraction – The Law of At-tracting what you want and what you don’t want. She studied the book and was pleased to see the Losier’s
concepts working in her own life.She also studied neuro-linguistic programming.As well as coping with a speech impediment and
learning how to adapt to a strange country, Nanji faced the challenge of weight control.
She found her weight ballooned after coming to Canada and, at one point, was wearing size 16 clothes.
However, due to her extensive studies regarding be-havioral issues and self-improvement, she was able to quit yo-yo dieting and bring her weight under control.
She has recently authored a book, Attracting your Ideal Weight – Eight secrets of people who lose weight and keep it off.
Nanji’s opening presentation at the women’s con-ference will include Unlock the Power of you.
She will close the afternoon by guiding her audi-ence through Embracing Change by learning the seven steps and once crucial step to accepting change.
“Learning how to drop things off in your life that are holding you back is crucial,” she said.
Nanji and her husband, Bradur, own Shanti Well-ness and Laser Centre in Wetaskiwin.
The author and public speaker said she achieves a great sense of satisfaction out of helping others achieve their own potential.
“I really enjoy sharing my message,” she said. “That’s what it’s all about.”
Many people are more sluggish in winter than in summer, but for those affected with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), the problem goes beyond getting a little gloomy. People who have SAD can experience: depressed mood, lack of motivation, fatigue, and often feel tired throughout the day. These symptoms can lead to excessive time in bed or in front of the TV, neglect of usual pleasurable activities, and reduced social contact.
SAD mood boostersIf you are affected by SAD there are several simple
steps you can take every day to brighten up both your body and mind.
Be active. Building activity into your lifestyle not only helps lift negative feelings, it also prevents the weight gain associated with the illness. Being physi-cally active relieves stress, builds energy, and increases both your physical and mental wellbeing and resil-ience. It is as easy as walking outside for 10-20 min-utes each day.
Soak in the sun. Getting in as much sunshine as possible during the winter months can help. Make sure blinds are open during the day, with a direct path to where you sit or work. Better yet, get outside in the sunshine whenever possible.
Choose healthy foods. For energy throughout the day, eat three meals, and have healthy snacks between meals if you find yourself hungry. Choose foods from at least three to four food groups at meals and one to two food groups at snacks. For more healthy eating in-formation visit www.healthyeatingstartshere.ca
Stay hydrated. Carry a water bottle to make sure you drink enough fluid during the day. The amount of fluid you need depends on your age, gender, body size and activity level. Most adults need nine to -12 cups of water per day.
