Chronic diseases are one of the leading causes of death and

disability and are largely preventable.

This is the first Canadian generation to have a lower life

expectancy than their parents.

Healthy Together Now (HTN), is an on-going initiative supporting

communities across Manitoba in their chronic disease prevention

efforts.

Healthy Together Now projects are community-led, regionally

coordinated and government supported.

Join us as we explore what we can do to “create a healthier

community” in which we live, work and play.

Weedless Wednesday is coming up on January 23, annually designated as the third

Wednesday of the month, in the middle of National Non-Smoking Week. The idea be-

hind Weedless Wednesday is to promote a "one day at a time" approach to quitting

smoking. This idea may appeal to smokers who are discouraged at the thought of an

entire week – or lifetime – without cigarettes, but might be able to cope with one smoke

-free day.

Quitting - although no one can do it for you, you learned to smoke so you can

learn to not smoke. There are proven ways to quit, including support groups, individual

counseling in person or by phone, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) or other prescrip-

tions, asking for support from your family and friends, or going “cold turkey”. Remember,

if you slip up, don’t give up. Try again, and again... keep trying until you've quit for good.

Usually using more than one method leads to better success.

The Smokers’ Helpline can DOUBLE your chance of success, whether you’re think-

ing about quitting or have already begun the process. It is a free, confidential service

staffed by Quit Specialists who can help you in cutting down or quitting. Over 90% of

callers say they would recommend the Smokers’ Helpline to family and friends.

The Helpline can help whether you’re thinking about quitting, ready to quit, or

have already tried. They can answer your questions about quitting or anything else

smoking-related. They can offer you advice on how to quit, and even help you come

up with a personal quit plan including follow-up calls, if you are ready. Or they can just

listen if you need to talk about smoking. You can either call the Smokers’ Helpline at 1-

877-513-5333 or you can ask your health care practitioner to refer you to the Helpline

and the Helpline Quit Specialist will phone you.

Commit to Quit is a six-week program lead by a trained facilitator who can help

you learn skills and techniques to guide you to a smoke free lifestyle. The program in-

cludes real facts, reasons to quit, the importance of quit plans, why you smoke & keep-

ing track of your smoking patterns, how to replace smoking with other activities and

deal with smoking triggers, how to cope with withdrawal, benefits of medications, and

how to deal with “slips”. Commit to Quit is available in the Interlake-Eastern Region. Quit

smoking programs are being offered in Pinawa and Beausejour starting mid-January.

Single sessions offering information for quitting now or when you are ready are also of-

fered in the region - Beausejour (mid-January),

Self-Help – Some people prefer to quit on their own. A wide variety of materials

and resources are available to help, including self-help books, pamphlets and web sites.

The booklet One Step at a Time, published by the Canadian Cancer Society, is available

at most local health centres and the booklet, On the Road to Quitting is available from

Health Canada. Websites that are helpful for those wanting to quit include: Health Can-

ada http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hc-ps/pubs/tobac-tabac/orq-svr/index-eng.php , Manito-

ba Lung Association http://www.mb.lung.ca/ and Canadian Cancer Society http://

www.cancer.ca/manitoba.aspx?sc_lang=en For additional Quit Tips check out http://

www.nnsw.ca/factsheets/quit_smoking_tips.pdf.

For more help with quitting smoking, contact your health care practitioner or the

Smokers’ Helpline. To learn more about Weedless Wednesday and National Non-

Smoking Week, go to http://www.nnsw.ca/index.html. And remember to take a breath

of cool, clean, fresh air.

Everyday Heart Health Tips If you're not convinced about the need to develop an exercise program for your life, you can at least try fol-

lowing some of these tips in your everyday routine. Take advantage of any opportunity for exercise. Try some

today.

Take the stairs instead of an elevator or escalator at school or the mall. Just start with one flight. Soon, you'll

be ready for two.

Park your car at the far end of the parking lot. The short walk to and from the store or school helps your

heart.

If you ride a bus or subway, get off a stop before your destination. Walk the rest of the way.

If you can, spend a few minutes of your lunch break taking a stroll around the campus grounds. It should

help you stay awake after lunch.

Think of housework as an extra chance to exercise. Vacuuming briskly can be a real workout.

Mowing the lawn, pulling weeds, and raking leaves are chores that can be done yourself as a chance to

exercise.

If you have a dog, think of the dog as an exercise machine with fur. A brisk walk with the dog is good for

both of your hearts. Make it a part of your daily routine. If you have a family, schedule an after-dinner walk. Make it quality time.

Get a Grip on Stress

A 4-class stress buster program. Do you feel as if you are being pulled in a thousand

different directions by the demands of family, work and other personal commitments? Do

certain people stress you out? Is your body physically drained from stress? Stress is a natural

and essential part of our lives. If left unmanaged, it can become harmful. Get a Grip on

Stress will provide you with some Stress-Busters; tool and methods for balancing your life,

dealing with stressful people and situations, and keeping your body in stress fighting shape.
