Nutrition Tip:

Many people claim food hypersensitivities which include food intolerance or allergy.  It is important to have these sensitivities diagnosed medically by an allergist.  It is also important to remember that food poisoning from eating contaminated food, and food aversions (not like a food, but not becoming ill from it) - are not food hypersensitivities.

Nutrition Tip: 

Some of the symptoms of food intolerance and food allergy are similar, but the differences between the two are very important. Eating a food you are intolerant to can leave you feeling miserable. However, if you have a true food allergy, your body’s reaction to this food could be life-threatening.

Food allergies can be triggered by even a small amount of the food and occur every time the food is consumed. An immune system response occurs whenever the body mistakes an ingredient in food — usually a protein — as harmful and creates a defense system (antibodies) to fight it.

On the other hand, food intolerances often are dose related; people with food intolerance may not have symptoms unless they eat a large portion of the food or eat the food frequently. Food intolerance is a digestive system response rather than an immune system response.

Nutrition Tip:

"Be like a flower and turn your face to the sun."  - Kahlil Gibran

Take joy in the longer days, fresh outdoors, bursts of colour and vitamin producing sunlight that boost our mental health and motivate us to spring clean not only our “stuff” but our diet as well!  May begins the season to revel in fresh produce.  It may not seem important to eat your veggies and fruits now but improving your intake will create good habits and help you prevent the risk of heart disease and stroke, protect against cancer, decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes, and promote GI and vision health as you age.   Remember that no single fruit or vegetable provides all the nutrients you need to be healthy.  Eat plenty and eat a variety to give your body the mix of nutrients it needs.

Nutrition Tip: 

Stay hydrated.  Choose water, milk and 100% fruit or vegetable juice when you’re thirsty. 

Water is not only calorie free and thirst quenching it influences a multitude of the processes in our body.  We need water to digest our food, carry nutrients and remove waste.  Being hydrated can also improve our mood.  So when you’re feeling tired or not thinking as clearly, ask yourself if what you really need is a refreshing glass of water.

 Nutrition Tip:

Do you reach for an extra cup of java during crunch time?  Caffeine is a stimulant found naturally in over 60 plants including coffee, cocoa beans, tea leaves, yerba mate and guarana.  You can also find it in soft drinks, energy drinks and some medications used for colds and pain.

Some of the benefits of caffeine are well known.  It can improve alertness and reaction time, and lift one’s mood.  Interestingly, caffeine also acts as a mild analgesic, relieving pain by constricting blood vessels.  Maybe you have noticed someone taking headache medication with a coffee or soft drink – caffeine can help the body absorb these medications more quickly.  Some studies also indicate that moderate coffee intake benefits heart health and offers some protection against cognitive decline. 

Common problems of excessive intake include restlessness, nervousness, insomnia, digestive issues, muscle twitching, irritability, and an irregular or rapid heart beat. 

Do you know how much is enough to reap the benefits without experiencing the unpleasant side effects?

Nutrition Tip:

Health Canada recommends caffeine intake for healthy adults to be no more than 400 mg in total for the day (roughly the equivalent of 4 cups of coffee), and for teens 2.5 mg per kg of body weight.

If you regularly consume a lot of caffeine, cutting down may help you feel calmer when under stress and help you sleep better. In particular, if you consume energy drinks, read the labels carefully, do not drink it on an empty stomach, or use it as a replacement for food and never mix it with alcohol.
