Siemens said the reason the independent family business has thrived is because they have stayed focused on serving their customers and have adjusted
to the times. “There were nervous moments along the way,” he said. “My dad remembers when we switched from carburetion to fuel injection – people wondered what to do. Well, we adapted. Now we see electrics and hybrids and we’re able to service those too.” To keep up with the changes, the mechanics and service technicians invest time in training and upgrading courses. Hub Motor Service is one of many unique small businesses in Abbotsford’s downtown that offer the standout service that big-box stores and higher-volume businesses can’t duplicate. Located at 33839 Essendene Ave., on the corner of Essendene and Gladys, Hub Motor Service is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. except on statutory holidays.

What the right proteins can do for your body
Mapping out a healthy diet can be tricky. While everyone needs certain vitamins and minerals, no two people are the same, and a diet that’s right for one person might not be suitable or palatable for another. Personal preference must be considered when planning a diet, as people are more likely to stick with a healthy diet if they enjoy the foods they eat. While fruits and vegetables should be a part of everyone’s diet, people should not overlook the importance of including lean protein in their diets as well.

Iron carries oxygen to the blood, so the iron found in lean protein can help the body perform a vital function that can prevent fatigue and promote a strong immune system.

• Healthy bones and muscles: Proteins are building blocks for bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. Proteins can help muscles recover after a workout, and low protein intake can make it harder for the body to absorb calcium, which is vital for bone strength. The body uses the magnesium in lean protein sources to build strong bones and release energy from muscles.
