Abebe Gellaw interrupted Obama and Obama agrees with

Ethiopias call for freedom

The President, who was talking about winning both Congress and the Senate
from the Republicans in the next election, replied I agree with you although why dont
I talk about it later because I am just about to finish. You and me will talk about it. I am
going to be coming around.

But Abebe continued his message and loudly called for help to free jailed
bloggers and journalists. Stand with the people of Ethiopia, dont support tyranny, he
said to which the president answered again, I agree with you.

We have tyranny in Ethiopia, Abebe said and added, We love you!

I love you back, the present replied and noted that his speech was kind of
screwed up.

That is okay. And we got free speech in this country, he said before wrapping
up his speech...Read more page 20

DECHASA HOLDS OFF NDIEMA TO WIN

HAMBURG MARATHON
record a fast time. I will celebrate now
--04 MAY 2014 REPORT HAMBURG, with my family and coach, and then take
GERMANY Ethiopias Shumi Dechasa
emerged victorious in a head-to-head
duel with Kenyas Eric Ndiema for the
Hamburg Marathon title on Sunday (4),
the 24-year-old setting a personal best of
2:06:44 the third-fastest winning time
in the history of the race.
This means a lot to me, said Dechasa.
Its my sixth marathon, and the first
time Ive won. My best before this was
second in Seoul. The Ethiopian picked
up 20,000 in prize money for the win,
and added his name to the list of former
champions that includes Dechasas
training partner Shami Dawit who won
the race in 2012 and last years victor,
Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya.
Dechasa made his intentions clear early
in the race, and was always prominent
behind the three pacemakers as they
passed the halfway mark in 1:03:32. If
anything, the Ethiopian found the pace
too relaxed. The pace was comfortable
for the first half, but still felt a little bit
slow, he said. My plan was to run a
faster time today but I still ran a personal
best, so Im happy.
Shortly after the leading group passed
the 30km mark in 1:30:31, Dechasa
surged to the front and only the pre-race
favourite, Eric Ndiema of Kenya, was
able to follow the Ethiopians move. As
they entered the final two kilometres,
though, Dechasa was visibly the stronger
of the leading duo and began to open a
gap, which grew to 17 seconds by the
time he crossed the finish line victorious
in 2:06:44. Ndiema slowed considerably
over the final kilometre but held on for
second in 2:07:01, with Philemon Rono,
also of Kenya, taking third in 2:07:08.
Speaking moments after the race,
Dechasa was already looking ahead to
later in the year, when he thinks he can
break new ground in the marathon and

a break for recovery, he said. I will

then make a plan for running a fast time
in September, 2:05 or 2:04. This win will
mean a lot for me in the coming years.
Another notable performance in the
mens race came from Japans Yuki
Kawauchi, who in his fifth marathon
of the year recorded a time of 2:09:36
for ninth place. Kawauchi intends to
complete at least five more marathons
this year, with his focus now on winning
gold at the Asian Games in October.

Rono fulfils role as favourite

In the womens race, Kenyas Georgina
Rono lived up to her billing as
overwhelming pre-race favourite by
taking a comfortable victory in 2:26:48.
Rono stayed with the leading group
as they passed halfway in a relatively
pedestrian 1:13:57 and when she made
her move shortly after the 30km mark,
the race as a contest was as good as over.
The 34-year-old Kenyan with a
personal best of 2:21:39 opened a
sizeable lead over the closing 10km and
came home with 42 seconds to spare in
a winning time of 2:26:48. Ethiopias
Dinknesh Mekash won the battle for
second, finishing in 2:27:30, with
Kenyas Winny Jepkorir third in 2:27:57.
It was good, said Rono. The course
was tough. The atmosphere was great,
though, with many people out on the
course. I felt good, but it was a tough
race.
Katharina Heinig was the first German
finisher in ninth place, recording
2:33:56. The first of the home contingent
in the mens race was Julian Flugel, who
finished 14th in 2:15:39, on a day that
saw almost 15,000 runners take to the
streets of Hamburg.

The African
Mother

The African Mother She is so dear.

I like the way she touches.
The way she rubs the childrens
heads,
Specially the little ones.
The African mother,
She is so dear.
She carries babies on her back
Because she knows the road ahead
could be rough and hard.
In case she falls,
She will be the one who suffers.
Saving the child is what she cares for.
O! My dear,
The African mother.

STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA ON THE

NATIONAL DAY OF HONOUR

Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his wife Laureen reflect on the
lives lost in Afghanistan at the Hall of Honour. Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Stephen Harper today
issued the following statement after
participating in events marking the National
Day of Honour, which commemorated and
recognized Canadas military mission in
Afghanistan:
Throughout our history, Canadians have
fought tyranny and evil around the world
because it was the right thing to do.
Much has changed since the terrorist
attacks on the World Trade Towers on
9/11. In response to those attacks, which
killed thousands of civilians including 24
Canadians, the Government of Canada
stood steadfast beside our Allies and
responded swiftly to these deadly acts of
terrorism.
For the last 12 years, more than 40,000

brave men and women of the Canadian

Armed Forces, along with hundreds of
courageous Canadian civilians, have
fought to help Afghans make their country
a more stable, secure and self-reliant place
to live, free from the yoke of terrorists and
oppressors.
Our Canadian Armed Forces fought
extremely well in Kandahar, arguably the
most dangerous province in Afghanistan.
The ingenuity, spirit and strength of our
men and women has made a difference
in one of the most violent and dangerous
parts of the world. Their accomplishments
and attributes have given Afghans the
opportunity to build on the work of these
brave Canadians in order to build a better
life for themselves. Their contributions are
celebrated by Afghans, by our Allies, and

Highlighting the success of

Canadas multiple-entry visa
95,000 MEVs to individuals coming to
Canada on vacation or to spend time with
family.
The government has been making changes to
facilitate legitimate travel, including investing
$42 million over two years to improve the
way Canada processes temporary resident
applications. This investment, which began
in 2013, aims to meet the growing demand
to process applications for those who want to
come to Canada temporarily.

Hon. Chris Alexander, Canadas

Citizenship and Immigration Minister,

Ottawa Hon. Chris Alexander, Canadas

Citizenship and Immigration Minister,
announced that in April 2014 approximately
95 percent of the visitor visas issued by
Citizenship and Immigration Canada were
Multiple-Entry Visas (MEVs). MEVs
are a fast and convenient option allowing
qualified visitors to enter and exit Canada
for six months at a time for up to 10 years.
Last month alone, Canada issued more than

Alexander highlighted the success of

Canadas MEV program while announcing
a new facilitative visa program for Mexican
travellers called CAN+ (Can-plus). Under
the CAN+ program Mexican visitors, who
have previously travelled to Canada or
the United States in the last 10 years, will
be processed much more quickly and will
not need to provide as many supporting
documents. CAN+ is one of a number of
facilitative programs available to make it
easier and faster for Mexican citizens to visit
Canada

of course by Canadians here at home.

Too often in the past our Armed Forces
have returned to Canada from their trials
with little fanfare. Not so today. Canadians
across the country came out in force,
united in appreciation, to honour the
bravery, heroism, strength and sacrifice of
those who fought for freedom and security
in Afghanistan.
The entire country watched with
tremendous pride as the Veterans of this
mission marched in the Commemoration
Parade. We honoured those wounded
by lining up in communities throughout
Ontario and in Gatineau, Quebec, to watch
the Soldier On Afghanistan Relay, and
we were somber during the two minutes
of silence marking a special tribute to the
fallen and their families.
I had the honour of paying tribute to
the Families of the Fallen in a private
ceremony and to hear first-hand how
these remarkable individuals touched their
families, friends and the entire country.
When the last Canadian flag that flew at
NATOs International Security Assistance
Force headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan,
was handed to me, it was a deeply emotional
moment. It reminded me of the blood,
sweat, tears and sacrifice that Canadians
had endured to make Afghanistan a better
place; a place where a little girl could go to
school, a place where a mother might have
medicine for her child, and a place where a
woman could vote.
Most importantly, the entire day, with

its outpouring of love and affection for

our troops, reminded me that a loving and
proud nation was welcoming its military
home, with open arms, after a job so well
done.
To ensure that their contributions are
forever in the hearts and minds of Canadians,
our Government recently announced that
we will create a national memorial to those
who served in Afghanistan, in addition to
making a new inscription to commemorate
the mission onto our existing National
War Memorial. We will also be renaming
La Promenade Building in Ottawa to
The Valour Building in honour of their
strength and service. I am also pleased to
be announcing today that eligible units of
the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian
Army, Royal Canadian Air Force and the
Canadian Special Operations Forces who
played key roles in Afghanistan have been
bestowed with the Arabian Sea or the
Afghanistan Theatre Honour.
It is a testimony to the national effort
that characterized this mission that every
major Canadian Army regular and reserve
infantry and armoured regiment that sent
soldiers to Afghanistan has been awarded
the Afghanistan Theatre Honour. As they
have done in so many previous conflicts,
all of these units have defended Canada
and served their country and fellow citizens
well.
God Bless the Canadian Armed Forces
and their families and keep them safe.

Abebe Gellaw interrupted Obama and Obama agrees with

Ethiopias call for freedom
displacement of the poor in Oromia region
and Gondar.

President Barack Obama has agreed with journalist Abebe Gellaws demand to
support freedom in Ethiopia

San Jose, CaliforniaU.S. President Barack

Obama has agreed with journalist Abebe
Gellaws demand to support freedom in
Ethiopia and help free bloggers, journalists
and political prisoners jailed by the
tyrannical regime.

While Obama was wrapping up his speech

at a glitzy Democratic National Committee
reception in San Joses Fairmont Hotel,
journalist and activist Abebe Gellaw
interrupted the president and called support
for freedom in Ethiopia. The event jointly
hosted by Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and
and Y Combinator CEO Sam Altman was
mainly attended by Silicon Valley business
and political leaders.Journalist and activist
Abebe Gellaw interrupted president Obama
Abebe began his message with a positive
note. Mr. Obama, we Ethiopians love you.
We demand freedom for Ethiopia, he said.
The President, who was talking about
winning both Congress and the Senate
from the Republicans in the next election,
replied I agree with you although why
dont I talk about it later because I am just
about to finish. You and me will talk about
it. I am going to be coming around.
But Abebe continued his message and
loudly called for help to free jailed bloggers
and journalists. Stand with the people of
Ethiopia, dont support tyranny, he said
to which the president answered again, I
agree with you.
We have tyranny in Ethiopia, Abebe said
and added, We love you!
I love you back, the present replied and
noted that his speech was kind of screwed
up.
That is okay. And we got free speech in
this country, he said before wrapping up
his speech.
In a letter Abebe handed to the President
at the end of the event, he noted that he
wanted to take the rare opportunity to
raise the voices of the oppressed people
Ethiopia.
Mr. President, as an exiled journalist and
freedom activist trying to raise the voices
of the oppressed people of Ethiopia, I
can tell you that Ethiopians have genuine
respect for this great land of freedom and
your inspirational leadership, he wrote.
But it pains and frustrates me and millions
of Ethiopians to see that for over two
decades the United States has overridden
its core values and forged a questionable
alliance with the Tigray Peoples Liberation
Front, a terrorist group that has continued
to oppress, massacre, jail, torture and
displace defenseless Ethiopians.
According to Abebe, the rare opportunity

was another unmissable chance to demand

our freedom and expose the tyrants at
such a high profile platform of the most
powerful decision makers in the world. I
am glad I took the chance though security
was extremely tight. At the end of the
day,we should consistently demand the
U.S to the review its questionable foreign
policy towards Ethiopia. That was also the
heart of my demand, he said.

Full text of letter

President Barack Obama
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington,
DC 20500 May 8, 2014
Dear Mr. President,
It is a great honor and privilege for me to
attend this unique reception organized in
your honor at the Fairmont Hotel, San Jose.
There is probably no greater place in the
United States than the Silicon Valley that
truly exemplifies the transformative power
of freedom. Transformative Silicon Valley
companies like Facebook, Twitter, Google,
Yahoo, Oracle and HP, are more veritable
expressions of Americas power and
dynamism than its military might.
Mr. President, can you imagine Silicon Valley
if all the visionary innovators and dreamers
that have made it possible are unjustly locked
up in harsh jails to break their spirit and
silence them? Mr. President, the answer is
simple and obvious. Fortunately, the United
States is not ruled by mindless and ruthless
criminals like Ethiopia.
Mr. President, as an exiled journalist and
freedom activist trying to raise the voices of
the oppressed people of Ethiopia, I can tell you
that Ethiopians have genuine respect for this
great land of freedom and your inspirational
leadership. But it pains and frustrates me and
millions of Ethiopians to see that for over
two decades the United States has overridden
its core values and forged a questionable
alliance with the Tigray Peoples Liberation
Front, a terrorist group that has continued to
oppress, massacre, jail, torture and displace
defenseless Ethiopians.
So many Ethiopians were glad that you sent
Secretary of State John Kerry to Ethiopia last
week on a mission of promoting democracy
and human rights, among other things.
They were also pleased that Secretary Kerry
demanded the tyrannical government to
release Zone 9 bloggers including Nathnael
Feleke, a young blogger he had a chance
to meet and inspire last year in Addis
Ababa. Nathnael, Eskinder Nega, Reeyot
Alemu and so many journalists, activists
and dissidents locked up in rat infested
prisons have committed no crimes except for
dreaming about freedom, justice and equality
for their country. Still worse, a few days
after Mr. Kerry returned home, over fifty
defenceless civilians have been gunned down
and countless others have been detained
and tortured for opposing land grab and

The young men and women condemned

confinement in dark jails are dreamers and
visionaries that want to see the transformative
power of freedom, dignity and justice. Like
Martin Luther King Jr., they too have a dream
that one day children of oppressors and the
oppressed will sit together as citizens of a
nation to decide the destiny and fate of their
country. They do not dream of revenge and
retribution but forgiveness and peace. As
Secretary Kerry correctly said during his
recent trip to Ethiopia, Africans have an
opportunity to bend the arc of history towards
reform, not retribution; towards peace and
prosperity, not revenge and resentment. That
is exactly what we aspire to see in Ethiopia,
a country wallowing in the quagmires of
poverty, tyranny and backwardness.
Mr. President, it is, therefore, with utmost
hope that I urge you, to do your level best
not to compromise our freedom and dignity
in exchange for short-term security concerns.
While the security concerns of the United
States in the Horn of Africa is understandable,
forging alliance with a terrorist regime will
have far more destabilizing impact in the long
term. If this tyranny and terrorism continues
unabated, Ethiopia will be another Rwanda
or Somalia. We Ethiopians do not wish that
to happen, a specter that is becoming more
and more imminent with each passing day
under the terrorist TPLF regime oppressing
our people with impunity.
Mr. President, we remember your speech and
promise to Africa that you made standing in
Accra: No person wants to live in a society
where the rule of law gives way to the rule of

brutality and bribery. That is not democracy,

that is tyranny, and now is the time for it to
end. Mr. President, we Ethiopians need to
end the corrupt tyranny that has made our
lives meaningless. Help us to end Apartheid
and state-sponsored terrorism in Ethiopia at
least by desisting from propping up those
who are oppressing and tormenting our
people.
Mr. President I loudly and clearly appeal
to you to help Ethiopia move in the right
direction. Yes, you can!
- Mr. President, Ethiopia needs freedom and
justice.
- Help us free our bloggers and journalists.
- Help us free Eskinder Nega and all political
prisoners.
- Help us free Zone 9 bloggers.
- We need freedom, more than food aid.
- Mr. President, help us free all political
prisoners.
- Help us stop the massacres and terrorism
against Ethiopians.
- Unites States, dont support dictators in
Ethiopia.
- TPLF is a terrorist group. Dont support it.
- President Obama, please stand with the
people of Ethiopia.
- President Obama help us to end Apartheid.
- Mr. President thank you for inspiring us to
tell the truth.
I sincerely apologize for the interruption and
inconvenience. I do hope that you understand
and stand with the oppressed people of
Ethiopia.
Most respectfully,
Abebe Gellaw

household name yet, but he is a determined
citizen that I respect a great deal.
The (interim) CEO of the Jamaican
Canadian Association of Toronto (JCA) has
a resume is a mixture of extensive successful
biography in academia, activism and social
justice engagement. Since arriving in
Canada in 1990, he has had a busy life.
From being a manager of a shelter program

at downtown's Sojourn House Refugee

Shelter, the gateway of many of Toronto's
newest immigrants and refugees, to being
an instructor at the Ryerson's University's
Continuing Education Suicide Prevention
and Intervention programme. At Seneca
College, he served as an instructor in its
Counseling & Disability Services program
by providing a variety of services such as
counseling, support, referral services as
well as mentorship. As an instructor, he is
making a positive impression to the future
guardian of Canada's social programs.

and acknowledged.

Gordon has been a popular anti-racism

course instructor at a wide variety of
venues and been a teacher on mental
health issues, mediation and criminal law
at a number of colleges in Toronto. He has
also been a mentor of countless new and
old immigrants navigate their way in their
adopted new country. Wherever he has
been stationed, he has expanded his role,
been an inclusive activist and helped create
a movement of good.

At the Jamaican Canadian Association

where he currently works, he has become
an activist CEO to the more than 50 year
old organization expands its services and
become self-sufficient.

I am proud to call him a mentor. That is

precisely why I nominated him for a
prestigious Aroni Image Awards earlier this
year. He is a worthy candidate. His decades
of social justice activism influenced by
Jesuit teachings that he passionately
follows, positive community work and
nation building deserves to be recognized

At the Margaret's Housing & Community

Support Services, where he served
previously for instance as manager of
its signature mental health & justice
program, he provided leadership in the
unique delivery of its services to its diverse
clients. At Sojourn House Refugee Shelter,
where he served as its manager of the
shelter program for six years, he provided
leadership and direction to new immigrants
via mentorship.

The first time I met Gordon was at Sojourn

House, though he vividly remembers
meeting me previously, where he had
invited me as a guest speaker. He wanted
me to talk about a unique program of
Maytree Foundation I was involved
in then. In his introduction of me, he
spoke eloquently of his own successful
biography to Canada's future citizens and
how we too can also attain it. He spoke
well, was poised to a fault and he never
seemed to patronize anyone of our future
destinations. It seemed he believed in our
hopes rather than our limitations.

Since then, I have witnessed him in action.

He has mentored me and many others
become successful Canadian citizens. I
have seen him, in admiration and respect,
as he is easily charmed by the music of
my native Ethiopia at Toronto's diverse
Ethiopian eateries and as strangers rush to
him for advice. He listens and he responds
well even if it compromises his leisure
time.
I recently witnessed him in awe in deep
conversation with one of Toronto's well
known activist, Gordon Cressy, as they
both planned on nation building projects
in his native Jamaica and Toronto and
how they can both cooperate to maximize
their potential. I was heartened to know
that there are indeed such people in our
backyards concerned for public good and
service.
What are his future plans? In a year,
Gordon expects to complete his PHD from
the University of Toronto's Sociology
Department as well continue to lead JCA
in a positive direction of long-term growth
and vision while continuing to mentor a
new generation of community leaders.
I have absolutely no doubt he will indeed
be successful.

Judge eyes Ethiopia reforms

Wyant departs job here to work on judiciary in developing nation
By: Mike McIntyre

PHIL HOSSACK / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Enlarge Image

Chief Judge Ray Wyant

Chief Judge Ray Wyant is leaving the

provincial court to accept a unique contract
with the United Nations to consult on a
judicial project in Ethiopia.

One of Manitoba's most recognizable
judges is stepping down from the bench to
tackle what may be his biggest challenge
yet -- bringing judicial reform to a
developing Third World country.

Ray Wyant informed his colleagues
this week he was leaving his post in the
provincial court, effective May 16, to
accept a prestigious consulting project in
Ethiopia on behalf of the United Nations.

Wyant will spend the next several months
working on an extensive initiative for
all courts in Ethiopia, which includes
developing a judicial code of conduct, a
comprehensive training curriculum for
judges and reviewing rules and standards
of judicial ethics.

"I think it's going to be a huge opportunity
to make a difference," Wyant told the Free
Press. "It's a fairly unique thing. I think as
much consulting as I'll be doing, I'll also
be learning."

'I think it's going to be a huge opportunity
to make a difference' -- Ray Wyant. Wyant

is no stranger to taking on what may be

perceived as big projects and has one of the
more unique resums. He has served in all
facets of the justice system after receiving
his law degree from the University of
Manitoba in 1978, including:
-- Spending his first seven years working
as a defence lawyer in private practice.
-- Spending the next 13 years working a
provincial Crown attorney, including a
stint as deputy director of prosecutions.
-- Spending the past 16 years working as a
judge, including a stint as the chief judge
of the provincial court.

Wyant even tried his hand at newspaper
reporting in the mid-1970s, working as an
intern at the Free Press, which included
a memorable project -- going undercover
as an inmate at Headingley Correctional
Centre and spending a night behind bars.
He still has the framed article, along with
his mug-shot photo that was included, in
his office.

Wyant has earned a reputation of being
a fair, caring judge who always goes
the extra step in engaging criminals in
his courtroom. Rather than just give a
lecture and hand down a sentence, Wyant
has always strived to learn what makes
criminals tick while attempting to find
solutions to avoid repeat appearances.

He summarized his views in a poignant
farewell sent to his colleagues on the bench
this week.

"It has been an honour and a pleasure to
work in our court. I will miss the daily
challenge of dealing with the people and
situations that come before us that touch
every part of a person's emotions," Wyant
wrote.

"We see the very raw underbelly of society.
We deal with the mad, the bad and the sad
charged with criminal offences and we
often see the very tragic consequences
of their crimes on others. It is a scarring

process for those victims and accused who

come before us -- and for us."
Wyant has been one of the more progressive
judges in Manitoba. He's long advocated
for cameras in the courtroom and has
publicly applauded a recent decision by
all three levels of court in the province to
launch a pilot project that has seen some
select cases broadcast live.
Wyant has also spent several years doing
a monthly appearance on a nationally
syndicated radio show out of Winnipeg
in which he takes live calls about the
criminal justice system. That type of
water-cooler discussion has often carried
over to the hockey rinks and grocery-store
aisles where members of the public will
often stop to give their two cents with the
always-engaging Wyant.

Wyant will fly to Ethiopia toward the
end of this month to begin the process of

working with all levels of judges in that

country. The contract runs through October
and could be extended to include other
nations, he said.

"It's an opportunity I felt I would be foolish
to pass up at this stage of my career and
after nearly 37 years of life in the criminal
justice system," said Wyant.

He won't be entirely gone from the local
judicial landscape. Wyant will have to
return to finish a few reserved cases he's
already presided over, and plans to apply
for the senior judges' program in Manitoba.
He would then join a handful of other
"retired" judges who are called to help out
and fill in when needed.

How Does
Acupuncture Work?
Acupuncture involves the insertion
of hair-thin needles into the skin at
precise points known as acupuncture
points.

According to traditional Chinese

medicine, acupuncture is based on the
theory that an essential life energy,
called Qi (chi), flows through the
body along channels called meridians.
Each meridian is connected to a
specific internal organ. When the flow
of Qi is blocked or out of balance,
illness or pain results. The stimulation
of acupuncture points along the
meridians releases the blockage of
Qi and promotes the smooth natural
flow of energy, restoring balance and
health to the body's systems.
According to Westernized medicine,
it is proposed that acupuncture
produces its effects through regulating
the nervous system. Acupuncture
stimulates the body to produce its
own pain relieving chemicals called
"endorphins". These chemicals mimic
morphine by attaching to opiate
receptor sites found throughout the
nervous system. Endorphins help to
block pain pathways that relay pain
messages from the body to the brain,
resulting in relief of pain, general
relaxation and biochemical restoration
of the body's own internal regulation
systems.
Acupuncture has been shown to aid
in the activity of immune system
cells at specific sites in the body.
In addition, studies have shown
that acupuncture may alter brain
chemistry by changing the release of
neurotransmitters and neurohormones
and therefore affecting the parts of
the central nervous system related
to sensation and involuntary body
functions, such as immune reactions
and processess that regulate a person's
blood pressure, blood flow and body
temperature.

The improved energy and biochemical

balance produced by acupuncture
stimulates the body's natural healing
abilities, reducing inflammation, and
promoting physical and emotional
well-being

9 Timeless Nutrition Tips for Any Age

Your health is your life. Make it a priority.

There are a zillion nutrition tips floating

around out there. Here are a few simple ones
that have worked well for me over the years.

1. Limit junk food or dont eat it at
all. Whatever junk food you have in your
kitchen, throw it out and replace it with
healthy foods and snacks. Look into other
ways to comfort yourself and think of food
as nutrition, not entertainment or emotional
fodder.

2. Go on a healthy food shopping
spree. Dont look at prices. Buy items
that are healthy and appealing. Fill your
cupboards, pantry and fridge with healthy
foods so you will not feel like your kitchen is
empty.

3. Limit eating out. Most restaurant
food has high amounts of sodium, sugar and

fat. There are few exceptions. Spend more

time with family or friends cooking together,
or enjoy cooking for yourself.

4. Visit a farmers market. Because
farmers markets make buying healthy food
fun and interesting. Most of the produce
will be freshly picked, and taste heavenly
compared to the refrigerated and thawed
produce we get at grocery stores. Many
farmers markets have healthy homemade
jams, local honey, hot sauce, or pickled this
and that.

5. Cut out the white stuff. Sugar
has zero nutrition. Cut out high fructose corn
syrup and artificial sweeteners, too. Sugar is
linked to the growing obesity epidemic in the
US and the rising rates of diabetes. It is also
linked to heart disease, which remains the
number one killer of people in the US. Use
natural sweeteners in baking like raw honey,
date sugar or molasses, which retains high

amounts of nutrients.

6. Exercise. No level of nutrition
can make up the difference for lack of
exercise. Walking counts, as does taking
the stairs instead of the elevator. Dr. Walter
Willett of Harvards School of Public Health
places exercise at the foundational base of his
food pyramid.

7. Eat at a table. According to
Michael Pollans latest book, Food Rules: An
Eaters Manual, No, a desk is not a table. If
we eat while were working, or while watching
TV or driving, we eat mindlessly, and as a
result eat a lot more than we would if we were
eating at a table, paying attention to what
were doing. When eating somewhere other
than a table, stick to fruits and vegetables.

8. Eat smaller portions by buying
smaller plates. I gave my giant-sized dinner
plates to the Salvation Army and bought
smaller square plates. And I eat less because

of it. According to Brian Wansink, author of

Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than
We Think, in a study focused on size illusions,
People with a large bowl and a three-ounce
scoop dished out 57 percent more ice cream
than those given a smaller bowl and smaller
scoop.

9. Cut out beverages and drink
water. Water is free, whereas most beverages
come with a price a health price and a
financial price. One popular 12-ounce soda
boasts a whopping 150 calories, and it offers
no nutrition. As a treat, drink tea instead of
soda.
Remember, it only takes 21 days of doing
something to make it a habit. So pick one of
the tips above and start making it a healthy
habit today.
