Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines

Depending on your age, the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) has different guidelines that you should follow. Adults aged 18-64 should get a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise weekly. Adding muscle and bone strengthening activities at least two times a week is also recommended. The same amounts are recommended for adults over the age of 65, with the addition of activities to improve balance and prevent falls. Exercise can be accumulated in increments of 10 minutes or more. Moderate intensity activities can cause you to sweat a little and breathe harder. Always check with your doctor before beginning an exercise program.

Does Your Pet Have Allergies?

Allergies are incredibly common in our pets, especially here on the coast, and can be divided into four known categories: contact, flea, food, and inhalant. When discussing inhalant allergies, we can’t forget mold or mildew, and of course, the dust mite! Unfortunately, the clinical signs of all allergic reactions are similar, and in cases tend to overlap, but each type can manifest its own unique characteristics. For reasons obvious to the seasonally suffering human, allergies are just as misery inducing in our pets. Itchy, raw, and irritated skin, watering eyes, nasal discharge, and congestion make up but a few symptoms that should inspire a visit to your veterinarian.

Why Clean Air Ducts?

Answer: Because they get dirty! There are several other factors that can increase the need for regular system cleaning: pets, occupants with allergies or asthma, cigarette or cigar smoke, and home renovation or remodeling projects. Allergy and asthma sufferers, as well as young children and the elderly, tend to be more susceptible to the types of poor indoor air quality that air duct cleaning can help address. We generate a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust, and chemicals. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day, on average. Over time, this re-circulation causes a build-up of contaminants in the ductwork, which could lead to bigger health issues that could cause serious problems for people with respiratory health conditions, autoimmune disorders, or some environmental allergies.

A Botox Alternative

Botox is a quick fix that inhibits the muscle movements that cause expression lines. This immobilizes the muscle for esthetic effect, but can sometimes cause the muscle to atrophy. This is beneficial for those who want to achieve a more slimming appearance to their faces, but a great alternative to Botox is microcurrent treatments, which help to lift the face and plump the skin. Microcurrent treatments encourage cell physiology and growth by mirroring the natural current flow of the body. The process is also non-invasive, so no needles are required, helping patients to breathe a sigh of relief.

The State of Wellness

It is very easy to speak of wellness as being in that state where one feels good. While this is one of the main features of it, wellness also includes feeling strong, content, and confident in that quiet knowledge that no matter what happens, you will come out on top… a winner. This is the feeling and confidence that becomes the norm for those who have the experience of being connected in body, mind, and soul to the essence of who they really are.
This state of being is achievable when we integrate the physical body and the emotional body.
