While most people have heard the connection to EMF exposure and cell phones, few think twice about the cordless phone sitting by your nightstand. These phones are now almost always DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication) phones. Almost all DECT base stations send microwave radiation 24 X 7 and can account for a large portion of the wireless exposure in a home. Many scientists believe that this disrupts our brain’s intercellular signaling which accounts for many of the adverse health effects that people experience. For a more restful sleep, these phones should have no place in a sleeping area such as a bedroom – and better yet – think of switching these over to a hard-lined (old style corded) phone.

March is Nutrition Month!
Nutrition Month is a great time to consider the importance nutrition plays in our day-to-day lives. This year’s Nutrition Month theme centres around the idea that nutrition and healthy eating can look different from person to person. You may have special dietary restrictions based on one or more health conditions, or you may require a special diet to meet your unique nutrition needs. Proper nutrition is important for your overall health and may help prevent chronic health conditions. A trained home care provider can help with in-home food preparation to ensure your meals are nourishing and tailored to your needs!
Are you the parent you wished you had?
It’s common to have at least a few things that you wish would have been different during your childhood. Have you ever stopped to think about what beliefs and habits you carried on from your parents that might not be serving you or your children? Moms and dads, just like you, can identify old ideas in their belief systems that no longer serve them, do the emotional healing work and raise a new generation to flourish in healthier ways. Unsolved loss, which means unsolved pain, limits our life, steals us from the opportunity to be an example for our children of how to live life in a full way. It is recommended that you find an action-based, powerful, directed approach to healing from life’s deepest heartbreaks.
Need a Lift?
Have you ever found yourself unable to get out of your chair? Although it looks like a regular recliner, a lift chair is designed with mechanisms that help it to act as a mobility aid. With the touch of a button, a lift chair can help comfortably maneuver you to a standing position with little to no help from others, providing you with increased independence. You can choose from a two position, three position, or infinite position chair, depending on whether you want to recline fully. There are lift chairs available to suit a variety of budgets and mobility needs!
The Do Diet
When we think about eating better, we often think about what we must take out of our diet – usually the things we like most! What if, instead of starting with a mindset of restriction, we start with a mindset of abundance? What if we were to focus on adding foods in, rather than removing them? This is a suggestion I regularly share with my clients and a first step that many find easy to do. Here are the top 10 foods I recommend adding as part of the Do Diet: fruit, green tea, dark chocolate, omega-3 fats, nuts & seeds, mushrooms, plain Greek yogurt, avocado, olives, and sweet potato.
Simple Balanced Nutrition
What does balanced nutrition mean to you? We are bombarded daily with the latest ‘science’ that is relentlessly moving our nutritional targets. How many times have you heard you must eliminate one of the big 3 macro nutrients? Clearly, we STILL have not learned that method doesn’t work long-term. A good mantra is to ‘keep it simple’. And for those who might need help in balancing nutrition, Sunrider’s DAILY WELLNESS PACK does that in a very simple way. It’s loaded with whole foods that have the proper balance of proteins, fats and complex carbs. Reach out to learn about Sunrider’s MONEY BACK GUARENTEE!

Inhaling vs. Consuming Cannabis
When cannabis is inhaled the effects are felt quickly, peaking within 30 minutes, lasting up to 6 hours. Inhaled cannabis has a different metabolic process than when you ingest it. Ingested cannabis must first travel to your stomach then to your liver before getting into your bloodstream and brain. When eaten, the same amount of cannabis will deliver more potent effects than when inhaled. When you eat or drink cannabis, you will feel its effects within 2 hours, with full effects peaking within 4 hours and lasting up to 24 hours. Edibles have enhanced bioavailability and greater potency in comparison to inhaled cannabis.
Fuel Performance Through Healthy Eating
We’ve all heard the saying we are what we eat, but do you know just how much the food we eat affects how we show up in the world? Our bodies and brains function and feel the best when we are providing them with the proper nutritious fuel. When we are eating healthier and providing our body and brain with the proper fuel we not only perform better at work, but in all aspects of our lives. Here are some easy tips to help support healthier eating habits: incorporate more fruits and veggies into your diet, plan your meals and write a grocery list (and stick to the list!), and prepare some meals ahead of time so you have healthy options available for those times when you don’t feel like cooking.
