Have You Had Your Probiotic Today?
Probiotics play a key role in the body by improving gastrointestinal functions, enhancing immunity, regulating hormones, protecting us from food-borne illnesses, controlling overgrowth of bad bacteria, and assisting in vitamin production & nutrient absorption. Here’s what to look for in your probiotic:
1. High culture count – Culture count refers to the total amount of live bacterial cultures in a single serving i.e. 50 Billion cfu (colony forming units)
2. Number of strains – There are over a thousand strains of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Look for multiple strains of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria.
3. Make sure the capsule is designed to protect probiotics – Enteric coated capsules remain intact throughout the harsh stomach environment and begin dissolving in the intestine where the pH is more alkaline.
All of these factors can be found in the Ultimate Flora line of probiotics by Renew Life.

What Do Denturists Do?
Denturists help those who are missing some or all of their natural teeth. They design, repair, reline, and make removable dental appliances. Your denturist will collaborate with you, your family, and other healthcare professionals to promote and maintain your oral health.
When making a set of dentures, the objectives are:
• supporting and protecting your gums and the bones in your mouth;
• enhancing your face and holding your jaws the proper distance apart;
• carefully choosing individual teeth to match what you already have; and
• allowing you to speak clearly and chew without stress.

Money and Your Friends
Take a look at your five best friends and their financial lives. Your financial future is greatly influenced by them. Even friends of theirs whom you don’t know have an effect on you. Your family, co-workers, and past and current environment all provide a key to your financial success. Mother was right, choose your friends wisely. Sherry Wilkinson, WinnipegHypnotherapy.com
Seniors’ Financial Wellness
By 2021, 22.8% of Canadians will be 65 years of age and older. Do we feel prepared as children and grandchildren to help guide and protect them and their finances through their later years of life? Checks and balances to consider:
• Have a family member who can act as the point of contact to divert calls to this person from sales people, etc.
• Do a monthly or quarterly review of the senior’s finances, including their bank and credit card statements.
• Put together a will and power of attorney while the family member is still of sound mind.
Waking up with Foot Pain?
Plantar fasciitis is a common and often persistent foot injury that can affect almost anyone. It involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes (plantar fascia). Morning foot pain is a signature symptom of this. In some cases, rest, icing, and stretching may relieve your symptoms. Persistent pain can stop you in your tracks, undermine your fitness and general health, and drag on for years. Healthwest specializes in this treatment as well as treating many other foot problems, by providing therapeutic massage, shock wave, laser, compression sleeves, and orthotics.

Attract a Great Life
“Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.” – Albert Einstein. You are using the Law of Attraction to attract into your life whatever you focus on. You are subject to the laws that govern the universe, including the Law of Attraction. This law uses the power of the mind, your thoughts, and materializes them into reality. Realistically, your thoughts turn into your life. When you focus on the negative, you will get more negative. When you focus on positive thoughts, positive things begin to happen. Imagine and think yourself into a great life!

Trust your Gut
Your immune system works hard to protect you from injury, illness, and disease. This process usually involves inflammation, a natural response to stress, tissue damage, and harmful stimuli like viruses, bacteria, and toxins. Inflammation functions similarly to an engine warning light, alerting you to the presence of a problem through symptoms such as heat, pain, redness, swelling, and/or loss of function. 85% of the immune system is located in our gut. An anti-inflammatory diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E and the mineral selenium provides your gut with the ingredients it needs to bolster immunity and achieve optimal mental and physical health.

It Takes a Village…
To raise a child, but I like to use that mantra to describe a health team. I am of the firm belief that healing modalities complement each other and work together to help your body heal and be its best. I am lucky to be able to list on my personal health “team” my physician, chiropractor, massage therapist, physiotherapist, and of course, myself. You are a huge part of your health team in the sense that you should walk away from your healthcare providers with some self-care “homework” that you can do to help yourself in between visits.
