strict, budget and ‘could ‘find
iheniselves sent‘anywhere in the
world. But to two young. mis-
sionaries from Utah, the .ex-
perience brings them: spiritual
and personal growth. =~

Brian Olsen, 20, and Jeff
Goates, 19, are elders (female
missionaries. aré_ called sisters)
with the Church of Jesus Christ
Latter “Day “Saints, more
popularly calied Mormons.

‘They've volunteered to serve
two years as missionaries with
the: church, joining approx-
imately 150 others in B.C. and
40,000 nround ihe world,

Aside from church and mis-
the two-year
period is part’ of a personal
growth process, says Elder
Olsen.

*Being on’ ‘your own, you
learn a lot of things — budget-
ting,. cooking,”’ he said in ad-
ding the experience also trains
leaders for the church.

. They can't: spent more than’

$400 a month on accommoda-
tion, food and other expenses
and rely on money saved before
becoming missionaries and help
from family -to finance their
two-year terms.

The two could ‘also find

interesting portion of their

“It’s green and beautiful

Fibre key to good health

BY SONYA KUPKA
March is nutrition month,

- deading Skeena Health Unit

community nutritionist: Sonya
‘Kupka to examine the use of

Sibre in diet,

. Last week I suggested wat-
ching your fat intake. Fat is a

"very rich source of calories and

can contribute to overweight,
heart disease and some cancers.

You may have noticed that
you're a bit hungrier, or maybe
‘not quite as satisfied after a
meal now that you're eating less

. fat. You body misses the
calories: ‘it-got frém~fat::That :

may be good, bad or'neutral,

depending on your weight,

*-¥ou ‘may not want to go
without the calories you're
missing and you certainly don’t
want to feel unsatisfied after a
meal. What can you do? Start
eating lots of complex car-
bohydrates, with a special em-
phais on fibre,

But don't carbohydrates
make you fat? In fact, car-
bohydrates are low in fat and
calories, making them the
perfect diet food. And most car-
bohydrate foods, like whole
grains; potatoes with skin,
brown rice, legumes, vegetables

“and fruit are also good sources

of fibre.
_ Fibre, the part of plants
which humans can’t digest, is

_ beneficial to our health.

«It helps to make us feel full
because it absorbs water and
swells, Some people feel this
helps them control their weight
because it helps them control
their intake of other fattening
foods.

In terms of lowering blood
cholesterol and. keeping you
“‘segular”’, it really depends on
from where you get your fibre.

_ There are two main kinds —

soluble and insoluble.

<1, Soluble fibres (like those in

oatbran and oatmeal, rice bran,
dried peas and beans, apples
and carrots) seem to help a bit
in some people by lowering the
amount of cholesterol in their
blood. While this doesn’t solve
the whole problem, every little
bit counts. And remember,
these foods are low in fat and
calories but are high in satisfac-
tion and nutrition. They also
replace other high fat foods
from your diet,

Insoluble fibres can be found
in wheat bran, the tough parts
of vegetables and fruit peels.
They seem~to promote good
bowel health and function.

So don't just eat a bowl of
oat bran and think you've done

a good health deed for the day.
Eat a variety of fibre sources,
The most important part of a
high fibre diet is water. Without
it, fibre can’t do its job and you
may feel constipated.

Here’s a checklist of good
fibre habits,
* Increase fibre intake slowly to
prevent cramps and bloating.
* Drink plenty of water,
* Eat a whole grain cereal
regularly. Try different types
now and then to get a variety of
fibre.
* Read bread labels to ensure
the first ingredient isa whole
grain.
