They are said to be a major cause of mortality and morbidity across the globe. Faulty diets filled with chemicals, pesticides and environmental pollutants is one of the principal factors responsible for above epidemic. Fruits, vegetables and other natural foods are healthy options to mitigate these diseases. Highlighting these issues is the following poem – ‘Food decides your innings’. Food as medicine, Medicine as food, Nectar or poison, Thy choice evil or good. II1II An apple a day, Keeps doctor at bay, Burger Samosa a day, Fatty sugary all way I Goose berry papaya pomegranate, Black plum fenugreek coarse grain lemon, Tomato turmeric garlic onion, Ginger clove curry leaves in Kitchen. II Green veg or red meat, Plenty fruits or junk, Stay slim sleek or fat Pink health or sunk. II2II Flat tummy big tummy, Look healthy or funny, Fighting fit or dummy, Option yours dear honey II3II Agile long life still running, Stay in ICCU on ventilators, Look charming gracious & stunning, Food decides your innings.

    NEWS RELEASE: June 14, 2005 Health care leaders create Canada’s first national health advisory body The Canadian Academy of Health Sciences will give Government and the public comprehensive expertise and advice on health issues EDMONTON - When the President of the United States wants advice on a public health issue, he calls the United States’ National Academies. When the Prime Minister of Great Britain wants to seek similar counsel, he usually turns to the Royal Society of Britain. But when the Prime Minister of Canada wants similar advice, who does he call? Well, that’s not always entirely clear, given the more narrowly defined mandates of many Canadian organizations. Now, however, owing to a recent initiative by a group of leading health care leaders and researchers, the Prime Minister will be able to call the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS), recently created to: • Develop informed, strategic assessments on urgent health issues; • Inform public policy on these issues; • Enhance Canada’s readiness to deal with global health issues; and, • Provide a recognized and authoritative Canadian health science voice internationally. According to one of the Academy’s key organizers, the establishment of the Academy is long over due—and all the more pressing given the potential global health threats to Canadians, most recently exemplified by the SARS threat. “Ask Canadians what they care about most, and they answer unequivocally: ‘health,’” explains University of Alberta Professor of Medicine Paul Armstrong, CAHS’s first president. “It makes sense, therefore, that Canada should have an organization that government—and Canadians—can turn to for sound, impartial advice and research on pressing health issues.” The organization will also have an international role to play, representing Canada’s interests abroad and working closely with other nations’ parallel agencies.
