Previously, the NNB was heard at 1170 on the AM dial. The Native Communication Society received the news at its regular meeting in March, a ' meeting at which the future of the station was reviewed as a result of a 16 percent cut in the - operation budget .announced .in the federal budget. ‘At the meeting, management resolved that present staff levels at.the station were essential to the success of their operation and that every attempt will be made to.maintain staffing levels. Due to the regulations under which the station operates, NNB — is not permitted to compete for advertising in existing markets,. ‘Instead, they will be seeking cor- porate or other. sponsors for their programming.

In the past weeks of Nutri- tion Month I hope you have read about healthy eating habits. Healthy eating habits like choosing a variety of foods according to Canada’s Food Guide, picking foods lower in fat, using high fibre foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes and trying alter-. natives to meat. These habits will help you to control your weight. They are important habits, habits which many dieters ignore. . Dieters also tend to miss out on one other vital aid to weight control — eating regular meals. This means three meals a day and maybe one or two wise snacks. The meal most commonly skipped by dieters is breakfast. Their usual argument’ are **Once I start eating I can’t stop’’ or “‘It starts my dieting day off right — calories not eaten can’t land on my hips!’’ Right? Wrong. Many studies show that skip- ping breakfast may not only decrease your ability to per- form well at school, work or home, but it may also tem- porarily lower your metabolism and create strong urges to binge on high calorie foods. The change in metabolism may make you conserve more calories as fat in your body than your neighbor who ate a healthy breakfast. This is why you may be able to eat more to weigh less! The urge to binge on high calorie foods can destroy your motivation to keep yourself on the health track, while at the Terrace Review — Wednesday, April 11, 1980 BS _ Eat more, weigh less. same time adding another spare tire. This urge might be caused by a lack of energy going to your brain, or by alterations to ~ your blood chemistry during times of starvation. It isn’t _ really a lapse in will power, it’s a strong survival instinct. Eating breakfast puts you well on your way to getting all the nutrients you need every day. Miss it, and it’s hard to make up for it. Breakfast will also help you avoid those late night munchies. Many nutri- tionists think it’s best to eat most of our food during the day, rather than the late after- noon and evening. It’s time to say ‘“‘no”’ to diets and ‘‘yes’’ ot breakfast. The following tips may also help you attain or maintain a healthy weight without depriv- ing by dieting: | @ Choose one place in your home to eat. Sit down when you eat. e@ Eat slowly. Enjoy the flavor of your food! @ When you eat, only eat. If _you read or watch TV as you snack, you may lose track of the amount of food you are eating. @ When eating out, make healthy choices.
