Health and Nutrition


Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon is asking parishes to partner with them on their Interfaith Food and Farms Partnership project and help them draw awareness about healthy diet and nutrition by providing useful facts and information. This weeks focus is on Vegetables & Fruit. Most people should aim for at least nine servings (4 cups) of vegetables and fruits a day (sorry, potatoes dont count!). Go for a variety of kinds and colors of produce, giving the body a mix of nutrients it needs. For more resources and information, visit www.faithandwellness.org!

Greetings!
The holiday seasons are getting longer! The first week of September, I saw Halloween displays in Fred Meyer, Dollar Tree and Target. By Halloween, I saw Thanksgiving decorations andif I recall correctlyI was seeing Christmas decorations out before Thanksgiving. Yesterday, I saw St. Patricks decorations, and yes, on the shelf above thoseporcelain eggs were starting to appear! Obviously, we are a society who likes to prepare ahead. It seems like just yesterday we were in Advent preparing for Christmas. And now this week, we begin Lent and we are preparing for Easter, April 8th. The question is: what are you doing for Lent? Depending on who taught you, some people will give up movies, meat, TV, and the list goes on My teachers had a different approach: We were told to take on the qualities of Jesus. For instance, smile at people more often, compliment people who you normally dont say anything to, call a relative you havent talked to in a month, do a chore for someone else without saying anything about it, read to someone (younger/older) or read to your petthey love it! hold/open the door for someone, let someone else go first, sing all the hymns at Mass, say a prayer for someone who it is difficult for you to get along with, list your blessing each day of Lent, forgive someoneeven if they dont ask, introduce yourself to someone new at church, write a letter to someone who would appreciate it, attend an event at church other than Mass, donate non-perishable food items/supplies to the Food Pantry, collect baby/toddler clothes and take to Mother & Child Education Center, pass on good books to people you think would enjoy them, hug someone, take a friend to the movie, write out your favorite recipe and share it with a friend, bake cookies for a busy mother, offer to baby sit for two-three hours so parents can have out time. The list of good things to do is really endless. Improve yourself by reaching out to others in a positive wayShare the Good News by your actions.

Deo Gratias, Barbara M. Harrison
