Nutrition and Arthritis

Arthritis, an inflammatory joint disease with acute crises and dormant periods, brings fatigue, joint stiffness, and pain. Focusing on your diet can help manage symptoms: Control Weight: Excess weight strains joints; maintain a healthy weight through balanced meals. Embrace Omega-3: Fish with omega-3 fatty acids may ease inflammation. Sardines, herring, and mackerel are rich sources, or consider supplements. Balanced Diet: Contact a nutritionist for a personalized plan, adjusting during crises if needed. Seek Assistance: Arthritis’s impact on daily activities may necessitate help, enhancing overall quality of life. Consult with one of our pharmacists to explore how we can assist you.

5-Ingredient Date Snickers

20 dates – pitted; 1/2 c peanut butter; 3 tbsp peanuts; 1 1/4 c dark chocolate chips; 1/2 tsp coconut oil. Line a plate with parchment paper. With a small knife, make a lengthwise slit in each date, slicing about halfway down. Fill each date with peanut butter & sprinkle peanuts on top. Place dates in the freezer to firm up until completely solid- approximately one hour. Add chocolate chips into a double boiler over medium low heat, stirring as the chocolate melts. Add oil if desired to make the chocolate thinner. Drop the dates one by one into the melted chocolate, flipping to get it entirely coated. Let cool in fridge & enjoy!

Hypothyroid vs. Hyperthyroid

Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are two distinct thyroid disorders with opposite effects on the body. Hypothyroidism results from an underactive thyroid gland, leading to insufficient production of thyroid hormones. Symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and depression. In contrast, hyperthyroidism arises from an overactive thyroid gland, causing excessive thyroid hormone release. This condition presents with symptoms like weight loss, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, and heat intolerance. Hypothyroidism is commonly caused by Hashimoto’s disease or iodine deficiency, while hyperthyroidism is often linked to Graves’ disease or nodules. Diagnosis involves blood tests, and treatment aims to restore hormone balance through medication, radioactive iodine, or surgery, depending on the disorder’s severity.

Nutrition & Chiropractic for Health

Nutrition and chiropractic care work together to support overall health, mobility, and healing. A balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods, such as leafy greens, omega-3 fatty acids, and lean proteins, can enhance joint and muscle function. Proper hydration and essential vitamins like D, B-complex, and magnesium aid nerve and bone health. Chiropractors often recommend dietary changes and supplements to reduce inflammation, support spinal health, and improve recovery. Avoiding processed foods and excess sugar can prevent chronic pain and stiffness. Combined with chiropractic adjustments, proper nutrition helps optimize the body’s ability to heal, maintain alignment, and prevent future injuries.

Emotion Code for Allergies

I have had an allergy to cats since I was a teenager. Last year I was going for a week’s visit to my son’s home in Alberta. He & his wife have three cats, so I performed a Body Code session on myself. I remembered that my cat had to be rehomed when my sister was born. In the session, I found and released the trapped emotions of sadness, grief, heartache, resentment, and fear. I had a wonderful visit without any allergic reactions to their cats. I had been holding on to these emotions in my subconscious as well as my body for six decades.

Downsizing Solutions

In an evolving real estate market, many clients are turning to reverse mortgages to secure new properties for downsizing. Reverse mortgages provide financial flexibility, allowing clients to buy a new home before selling their current one. Some keep the old home as a backup, while others move out and renovate it for a higher sale price. With traditional mortgages and secured lines of credit becoming harder to qualify for, homeowners are leveraging reverse mortgages, which have no income requirements, to position themselves advantageously.
