Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she surveys the bleakness surrounding her. Mounds of dirty snow dot the landscape and bare trees stand rigidly against the dullness of the skies; while silence reigns. It is time for fresh new beginnings, she decides. Shedding her winter garments, she turns up the sun; smiling with approval as the snow melts away to nothingness, and gentle rains nourish the earth. Now, rolling up her sleeves, she magically starts working on her yearly transformation. She coaxes the trees into new coats of many shades of green, to cover their nakedness. Plant life and insects sense the change in the air, and start nudging through the soil. Lakes and rivers once again flow freely, and the fish jump with delight. Across the miles, a gentle breeze signals the birds that it is time to return. The silence of winter is gone, replaced by the joyful sounds of birds crooning their love songs, and insects buzzing, as all wildlife prepares for newborns. Trees and shrubs explode with blossoms, infusing the air with the sweetest fragrance. The skies are a dazzling blue, and the days are longer, with the promise of more good things to come. Within just a few weeks, Earth has gone from drab to beautiful, from barren to plentiful. Winter is now simply a memory. The marvels of Mother Nature indeed!

Many of the articles are from the archives of Daytripping Magazine. Welcome to... THE Club On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America. A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk. In Southwestern Ontario, the only areas that will see a total eclipse are around Chatham, St. Thomas, Hamilton and further East. Other Watch the Solar Eclipse areas, including Sarnia, will be able to witness a partial eclipse (sun not totally hidden). It will last for up to 2 minutes in the afternoon between 3 and 3:30 depending on location. Safety is very important when viewing a total solar eclipse. If you’re watching, make sure you wear eye protection designed for solar viewing. The jury has been in for a long time on smoking. The horrible long lasting and negative effects on our health are clear and as a society we are paying a price for this addiction. Salt, or sodium, needs to be placed under a similar level of scrutiny. Let’s be clear—give me a choice between a big piece of cake, or a bag of salty chips, a piece of fried chicken, or some roasted and salted peanuts; I will take the salty food every time. Refined sugar is a problem, but we are going to talk about salt. Funny, that they are both white granulated substances. Anyway, salt or sodium is a necessary element that we need to live. Sodium in proper amounts allows us to balance our body’s fluid levels, and maintain our muscles and nervous system. I said in the proper amounts. So, what is the proper amount? For a senior there is some debate, however the number is somewhere around 1,500 mg per day. This is the number A Path to Wellness you should land on for your sodium intake — 1500 mg. However, most of us eat about 2,300 mg. That is over 50% more sodium then we should eat. Do your own research. Consult your health care provider for the amount of sodium that is right for you. Here is what happens with too much salt intake. You are increasing the likelihood of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Too much sodium has a massive, negative impact on your kidneys and liver. Research is pointing to salts contributing to the development of diabetes. Scared yet? If you are not concerned, I will add one more, Alzheimer’s disease. So as mentioned earlier, high sodium leads By Chris Treftlin, Shine at Home, Sarnia Salt is the New Smoking to high blood pressure (BP), and there is a link between high BP and forms of dementia including Alzheimer’s disease. There is the learning. Here are the solutions to reduce sodium, if needed. How Do We Get Our Salt?* Added at the Table 6% Added in Cooking 5% Naturally Occurring 12% Prepared Food 77% *NB – Estimated Approximate Sodium Intake What should jump off the page at you is the amount of sodium in prepared food. While convenient, any food item cooked in large batches by large food companies will be high, very high, to ridiculously high in sodium. If you don’t believe me, go to your grocery store freezer case and grab a popular, national, frozen food brand and look at the nutrition label. The dinners I recently checked out were between 1000mg and 1200 mg per meal. Remember, you should be eating 1500 mg a day. Food companies add this much salt for a couple of reasons. First, they know people, like me, love salt. Second, sodium is a shelf-stabilizer. Another way to make the meal last longer in the freezer. Let’s Visualize 1500 mg Here comes the learning bomb! Go into your utensil drawer and pull out the set of measuring spoons. You will not need to do this if you are a baker. For everyone else this is an essential step. Remember the recommended amount of salt per day is 1500 mg or approximately just over half a teaspoon. Now, pour salt into the teaspoon measure, and take out one third. That is how much salt you should eat a day. The Solution The best and most effective way to get your sodium back in line is to reduce, or eliminate prepared meals from your diet. The good news is that your body and taste buds will adjust to the lower levels of salt in your food. Honestly, now if I get something too salty in my diet, I do not enjoy it. “But I love salt,” you say. Well, I do too. After some consideration I decided my health was more important...is yours?
