Hi all! This month’s column is about “Health.” How do we keep healthy? i personally take care of myself as best i can. Right now, however, I am experiencing several bouts of dizziness or vertigo, I don’t know which. I am working with the doctor to find the cause of this.

i do a lot of walking daily. I like to drink lots of water and my diet is pretty good as I like to eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Chicken and fish are my favourites as well, but I also have a fondness for CHOCOLATE!! Being diabetic, I have to restrict my intake of chocolate to one or two portions per week.

Another factor for being careful about my health is my age. I am 64 now, and I am learning about the process and symptoms of aging. So, I must be more diligent about my health because of my diabetes, high blood pressure, and my age.

I also would like to talk a bit about the “health” of the Boyle Street Community League. The board members are very healthy physically and mentally. I have observed how passionate they are about Boyle Street: its future, the geography, the demographics, the future health of Boyle Street, and how we want Boyle Street to look and remain healthy for decades to come.

In closing, what is my main tip I have for all of you to remain healthy? Don’t touch my food when I am eating! You all take care now, and let’s stay healthy!

Alf White is the President of the Boyle Street Community League.
