It was wonderful to share with the York community bags of healthy goodies (sponsored by ARAMAK), learn about each other’s nutrition practices and knowledge, meet new people and Pay it Forward!<br />
<br />
Thanks to everyone who participated! Don't forget to tell us how you paid it forward (you can use the comments section below, or facebook (click <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2517975942">here</a> for FB)<br />
<br />
As promised, below are the answers to the questions we asked you during the day. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
<b>Q: How many grams of fiber should adults consume per day?</b><br />
<br />
A: 20-35 grams, or even more! Fibre helps to move food through the intestines; some fibre-rich foods to consider are fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. Also remember the high fibre granola bars!<br />
<br />
<b>Q: It’s a common misconception to think that all fats are bad for you. Is there such a thing as health fats, and if so, what are they?</b><br />
<br />
A: Choose unsaturated fats, such as the kinds that are found in cooking oils and nuts and seeds. Polyunsaturated fats, like Omegas 3 and 6, can reduce bad cholesterol, and can be found in fish, leafy greens and some nuts. Monounsaturated fats, found in olive oil, avocado and peanuts, promote healthy liver function.<br />
<br />
<b>Q: Approximately how many hours does it take for food to entirely digest?</b><br />
<br />
A: This depends on the type of food. Fruits and veggies can be out of your system in less than 12 hours, but steak can take two to three days – basically it is left in your intestines to rot and break down!<br />
<br />
<b>Q: Why are fruits and vegetables low on calories?</b><br />
<br />
A: Fruits and vegetables generally have a high water and fibre content. Water and fibre increases the volume of foods, which reduces the energy density (calories).<br />
<br />
<b>Q: When you take a step how many muscles do you use?</b><br />
<br />
A: Approximately 200!<br />
<br />
<b>Q: What is your favorite healthy food?</b><br />
<br />
A: At the Pay it Forward table, we heard some great answers ranging from fish to fruits and veggies, to whole grains and more! Keep it up guys – choose healthy options more often! We also had some discussions about where the food is coming from, how it is grown and by whom, and how these factors influence our health!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8807950145864247506.post-16817321398816599102011-02-08T10:08:00.002-05:002011-02-15T23:38:27.379-05:00HBP Club's Pay it Forward Event - February 14 11am-4pm at the HBP Table, Location Change: Central SquareAnswers to the questions that you were asked during the events are now published on HBP's facebook group.

<br />
Are there ways to reduce the disadvantages of short term volunteering?<br />
<br />
Who is benefiting from volunteering abroad?<br />
<br />
If you were a policy advisor, what type of policy would you suggest the South African government take in order to protect children from potential harm?<br />
<br />
Do organizations organizing/facilitating such volunteering opportunities have a responsibility to tell participants of potential harm they could be doing?<br />
<br />
What other questions does this issue bring to mind? <br />
<br />

It is the group’s hope that this pledge will serve as a reminder of the world in which we would like to live and be signed by people who support the idea of respectful dialogue locally, provincially and globally. <br />

The Photo-Voice: What is Health? project combined sharing of experiences through photography, drama, poetry and storytelling to generate dialogue about identity, community, peace, culture, health, and resilience. Photo Voice: What is Health? at York University has built upon the work developed by Global Youth Voices (www.globalyouthvoices.org), Canada International Scientific Exchange Program (www.cisepo.ca), Imagine a School by Kathleen Gould Lundy and PhotoTherapy by Joel Walker. Participants were able to build relations, cooperate with others, express thoughts/feelings and work towards a common goal of peace building. The photography exhibition will be presented to the New Haven community.<br /> <br />The New Haven festival featured artists, musicians, influential speakers from the interfaith community, and most importantly, a food and clothing drive for those in need. The goal of the festival is to bringing together those who appreciate the importance and the role of peace and happiness in daily living.<br /> <br />Peace by Peace's mission is to foster communication, tolerance and peace in the New Haven and Yale communities through education, community service, and open dialogue. Peace by Peace organization intends to bring together diverse groups of people in order to cultivate understanding, regardless of religion, race, beliefs, or culture. Through this event, acts of kindness and medical care were encouraged, not directed from Israeli to Arab or from Muslim to Jew, but from human to human.<br /><br />Health as a Bridge for Peace strives to encourage cooperation by getting people to work towards a common goal. The club uses health to foster peaceful cooperation both at the campus and international level through various events, shared projects and networking.
