The Pivot Year is a book of 365 daily meditations on finding the courage to become who you’ve always wanted to be, from the internationally bestselling author, Brianna Wiest.

The journey is convincing your mind to act consistently on what your heart already knows it wants to do.

Winter Pet Safety
It’s important to practice diligence when bringing your pets outside as they can suffer from hypothermia and frostbite. Exposed skin on noses, ears and paw pads are at the most risk during extreme cold snaps. For this reason, short-haired dogs often feel more comfortable wearing a sweater—even during short walks. Rock salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irritate the pads of your pet’s feet. Wipe all paws with a damp towel before your pet licks them and irritates their mouth. Consider opting for booties to keep your dog’s paws extra warm and comfortable, all while protecting them from irritants.

Food Cravings And What They Mean
Did you know that certain food cravings are associated with a nutrient deficiency? Craving salt equals a lack of trace minerals, craving sweets indicates a chromium deficiency, chocolate cravings mean a lack of magnesium, craving dairy and cheese indicates an essential fatty acids deficiency and a red meat craving means you need iron and/or B12. When your body lacks vital nutrients, it can lead to chemical imbalances which alter the pH of your tissues. Ignoring the reasons behind your cravings won’t change them and will not improve your overall health. Nutritional testing and precisely formulated nutraceuticals are the best ways to find out what nutrients you lack, give your body what it needs, and handle those unwanted cravings for good.

New Year, New Smile!
Are you ready to kick off a new year with a dazzling new smile? Have you considered dentures? Dentures are removable replacements for your missing teeth, made to appear and function as well as your natural teeth and surrounding gum tissues. Missing teeth can result in your face taking on a sunken-like appearance. Dentures can effectively reverse that by providing a structure with definition back into your cheeks, making you look younger and livelier. You can enjoy a straighter and more even smile and the procedure will complete the spaces where there were once gaps. This year, give yourself a confident and healthy smile!
Laughter is the Best Medicine
I told my doctor that I broke my arm in two places – he told me to stop going to those places.
The Importance of Vitamin D
During these dark winter months here in Manitoba, the sun’s rays are not strong enough for our bodies to produce sufficient Vitamin D. This is why Osteoporosis Canada recommends that most Canadian adults should take a daily vitamin D supplement. Vitamin D plays an essential role in bone health by facilitating the absorption of calcium. It also helps maintain muscles and reduce the risk of fractures caused by falls. Some studies have suggested that it may reduce the risk of certain diseases. Talk with one of our pharmacists about recommended doses or to learn more about other supplements, vitamins and minerals.
Reset Your Mind, Body & Spirit
Embrace new goals and fresh beginnings this New Year by putting yourself first. A rejuvenating Sound Bath is not only a relaxing experience that sounds beautiful, but it is also a powerful tool for wellness. Science shows that it helps to reduce stress, ease tension and much, much more. This immersive experience uses resonant sounds from instruments like crystal singing bowls, gongs, and chimes to create beautiful waves of therapeutic vibrations. Many participants find the Sound Bath to be a deeply relaxing meditative journey, ideal for setting intentions and fostering a sense of renewal. Beginning the year with this mindful practice can create a harmonious foundation for the months ahead, nurturing mind, body and spirit.
Navigating Winter Months With Dementia
Seasonal changes affect us all. As days get shorter and we spend less time outside, many of us feel a shift in mood. For those living with dementia, winter can increase disorientation, restlessness, and confusion. Shorter days and colder weather may intensify symptoms like sundowning when agitation rises in the late afternoon. Limited sunlight can lead to seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Caregivers can make winter more manageable by creating a warm, well-lit environment, setting a daily routine, and incorporating indoor activities. Simple comforts like cozy blankets and familiar music can bring calm and help loved ones feel grounded. If you need support this season, Reliable Home Care is here to help.
