It might be the push you need to start eating better.

Atlantic Director of Corporate Affairs Mark Boudreau tells us nineteen
registered dietitians will be hired between April and June 2014 to
provide their services for free at local Superstores.
You'll
be able to make an appointment at the grocery store and get personalized
advice about what you should and shouldn't be eating.
90 cent
of Canadians say dieticians are an excellent source of health
information, but only 24 per cent of Atlantic Canadians have ever
consulted one.
If
you're being pushed around, demeaned, and belittled by a domestic
partner, you'd expect your health would improve dramatically as soon as
you get out of that relationship.
But new
research by Nursing Professor Marilyn Merritt-Gray suggests abuse can
effect your health long after you leave. Gray tells us women who have
been abused are twice as likely to suffer from chronic pain and high
blood pressure, and 10 times more likely to suffer from anxiety and
depression.
The good news, however, is those conditions are treatable as long as women seek help. Merritt-Gray
says leaving is the first step, because then you can begin seeking
treatments for these problems.
It looks
like Old Man Winter isn't finished yet. Environment Canada warning of
the possibility of another storm bringing heavy snowfall and high winds
to the region on Wednesday.
Paula Sutherland with the Atlantic
Storm Prediction Centre tells us it's still too early to say how
much snow we will be getting however they will be monitoring the intense
low pressure system over the next few days, and as it gets closer, they
will be able to better predict snowfall amounts.
Sutherland says it's expected the southeastern part of the province will bear the brunt of the winter storm.
