Stay Limber and Pain Free
85% of our population will have an episode of disabling back pain at some point! Sedentary and sitting lifestyles are significant factors that reflect our busy lifestyles, commuting to work, driving kids around, sitting at a desk, etc. We’re meant to move; prolonged positions of any kind can be aggravating. Simple tips are to stretch in the morning before getting out of bed, use pillows between your knees while you sleep, get up and move at least once per hour. Both passive and active treatments are very important for back health such as physiotherapy, massage therapy, and exercise.

Stress and anxiety can impact us in many ways, emotionally, mentally, and physically. High-performing individuals often find themselves having trouble sleeping, experiencing high blood pressure, or becoming easily distracted.

If this sounds like you, you might be overwhelmed by stressors that stem from your career or other areas of your life. If you are feeling overwhelmed and under major pressure, a stress management consultant can help you take back control, offering personalized support and coaching to control your triggers and manage how you react to stress.

SMILE!
When you smile (even if you fake it), your brain receives an “I’m smiling so I must be happy” message. Sure enough, if you try it, you will come to realize that a few minutes later, your mood lifts and you may start humming a happy tune. The next time you are around children, watch them closely. Children tend to be happy and are always ready to give a smile. A child smiles about 400 times a day on average. The average adult smiles 40-50 times a day, whereas a typical adult only smiles 20 times a day. Try smiling more, see how your life and mood could be impacted!
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month
Lung cancer is now the most diagnosed cancer in Canada, with 85% of lung cancer cases being caused by smoking. It also has one of the lowest survival rates: just 17% of people diagnosed with lung cancer survive for 5 years or more. And yet, despite the risks associated with smoking, it can be incredibly difficult to quit. In fact, quitting is one of the biggest challenges a smoker will face, but it is also one of the best ways to reduce the risk of cancer. Talk to your pharmacist about available options to help you finally kick the deadly habit.
