THE future of farming and the coun tryside was debated in the Ribble
Valley. Local representatives from the .
Campaign to Protect Rural England organised a special event chaired by
MP Nigel Evans. Held in the council chamber, it was
attended by 56 members of the pub lic and featured two guest speakers. Thomas Binns, chairman of the
NFU Livestock Board, talked about the rapidly increasing world popula tion which will impact on the demand for food, making farming
vital for survival. After turning his attention to
Europe and then the UK, he finally focused on the Ribble Valley. Next to speak was Chris Dee, the Buying Director for Booths. He said
fTfTTI
Booths had a policy of getting as I much produce as they could from! northern farmers and producers. He concluded by saying that lie I
hoped the illustrations he had given I showed that the survival of farming I would come from within the industry. [ Questions and comments followed (
from those attending, before Mrs Evans thanked the speakers and the! CPRE for organising the meeting. He | asked for a full report to be produced, which could be considered by those 1 who form policy and influence deci sion making. Ribble Valley CPRE agreed toll
send a detailed report to Government! Ministers and local councillors. Our photograph shows Mr Evans |

P Exercise and diet are key factors
THERE is a lot you can do to keep your heart healthy - whatever your age. Taking enough exercise, eating a healthy diet, and being aware of dan gers such as smoking, drinking, high blood pressure and stress are all important. The heart is a muscle and it needs
exercise to keep fit so that it can pump blood efficiently round your body with each heart beat. Physical activity improves your
physical and mental health. It is one of the most important factors in maintaining a good quality of life. Before you start exercising, i t ’s
important to seek advice from your GP, especially if you have any condi tion for which you are taking pre scribed medication. Being physically active might
involve going swimming, doing an exercise class or playing a sport, but it also includes everyday things such as walking, gardening and climbing stairs. Aim to build up to at least 30 min
utes of moderate intensity physical activity five or more days a week. During moderate exercise you should be breathing more heavily than nor mal and feel slightly warmer. If 30
increase in health benefit is experi enced by inactive people who start to take regular moderate physical activ ity. A healthy diet and keeping phys ically active can also increase chances of survival after a heart attack. What you eat and drink can affect
8 preventing blood clots forming. Eating well can help protect
against other conditions such as can cer and type 2 diabetes, and help you to maintain a healthy body weight. A healthy diet contains plenty of
fruit and vegetables and starchy foods such as wholegrain bread, pasta and rice; and is low in fat (especially saturated fat), salt and sugar. There is good evidence that eating
a diet that is rich in a range of veg etables and fruits lowers the risk of heart disease. Aim to eat at least five portions each day. They can be fresh, frozen, dried or tinned. Reducing the amount of fat you
eat can help to reduce your blood cholesterol level. Too much saturated fat from fatty meats, biscuits, cakes and full fat dairy products can clog up your arteries and put a strain on your heart. We do not know exactly how but
the omega 3 fatty acids found in oily fish may keep the heartbeat regular, reduce fatty substances in the blood, and prevent blood clots from forming in the coronary arteries. Reducing the amount of salt you
eat will also help keep your blood pressure down.
