Exercising outdoors seems to be even more effective.
Exercise seems to give you a better sense of control of yourself that in turn gives you more confidence to deal with other aspects of your life. It also seems to alter your brain neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine) in some complex and yet not well-understood way. Of course, like Prozac and St. John’s wort, exercise doesn’t work for everybody. The only way to know is to try it. You’ll probably feel better.

Speaking and Complete Dentures
New dentures (whether complete or partial dentures) can sometimes change your speech…for a few days, and in some cases weeks. The tongue is a muscle, and all muscles in our body have a “memory”. Therefore, your tongue may need some time to adjust to its new surroundings. By speaking and/or reading aloud, your tongue will become familiar with the new thickness of the acrylic, the frame (with partial dentures), as well as the tooth placement and size. Soon enough your speech will be back to normal. Contact your denturist if you have speech difficulties lasting more than a few weeks.
Ask Dr. Tyler Anderson OD
Q: My husband insists he has good vision because of all the carrots he is fond of eating. Is there any truth to this? A: Nutrition is important for eye health, but there is much more to vision than that. If you’re worried about your husband’s vision, urge him to get tested. A standard test will measure his visual acuity, focusing, and general eye health, amongst other things. Carrot consumption does not guarantee good vision in anyone! If your husband does need vision correction, Rizal Optical offers hundreds of innovative and eye-catching styles of frames to choose from.
Importance of Having a Grief Sherpa
Grief has the power to cleanse & heal or destroy & destruct. It can feel like a Tsunami that overpowers our entire system shaking us to our knees, affecting our core stability. A roller coaster that takes over our emotions, body and nervous system, reminding us that someone or something important has been lost. Our hearts broken open, in hope that they can begin to cleanse, heal, love and trust again. It offers the choice of stagnation or expansion depending on how we go about connecting to and with the pain. There is no easy way to walk through grief, its excruciating. Allowing someone you trust, that has walked the path before you helps to guide the way and shed light when the darkness feels too unbearable and heavy alone.

Eye Care for Teenagers
Teenagers are still developing so it’s very important that they receive proper eye care to ensure the best possible vision heading into adulthood. Teens should have proper vision testing during the school years to catch potential issues such as astigmatism, convergence insufficiency, and other binocular vision issues that may cause more problems as they get older. Observant teachers may alert parents to unachieved learning and behavioural milestones that might have a vision basis. Encourage your teens to wear sunglasses with UV protection and to protect their eyes when playing sports or using tools and equipment.
Workplace Posture for Injury Prevention
Many injuries that physiotherapists treat are not from trauma but rather poor body mechanics associated with prolonged sitting (ie. neck and back pain). Here are some tips that can improve workplace ergonomics, decreasing stress on these structures while sitting. Feet should be flat, knees 90 degrees, thighs supported and hips all the way back in the chair. Backrests should support the natural curve of your spine. Chin tucked slightly and head centered. Some tools to help include telephone headsets, adjustable computer monitors and footrests. Sit-stand work stations can be beneficial and support the recommended 20 min sitting, 8 min standing and 2 min of movement for every 30 min of work.
