Importance of Social Interactions
Social interactions are critical to happiness even when those social interactions occur with an acquaintance or stranger, as opposed to a close friend or partner, according to Iris Lok, a UBC Ph.D. student in psychology. The pandemic severally restricted our social interactions. It is now time to prioritize social interactions given that loneliness is terrible for our health. Social isolation is associated with many health risks including; high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. A retirement residence can provide the perfect balance of social interaction and independence, which is good for our overall health and well-being.

A Natural Source of Probiotics
Fermented foods are the most natural source of probiotics – bacteria that are good for your gut. As one of the oldest ways to preserve food, fermenting involves a process called lactofermentation, where bacteria feed on starches and sugars in food and create lactic acid. This promotes good bacteria and beneficial B vitamins, vitamin K, enzymes, and short chain fatty acids that are great for our health when consumed. Some common food items that contain probiotics include yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, milk and water kefir, certain cheeses, tempeh, and miso. Try adding as many fermented foods as possible to your daily diet!
The Effects of Stress on Your Hair
It has been said that stress can make you go gray or cause you to lose your hair. But can it? Hair loss due to stress can occur after a traumatic life event such as divorce, death, or severe financial worries. This temporary hair loss, called ‘telogen effluvium,’ can also be caused by factors such as hormonal changes, illness, or poor diet. Hair evolves in a cycle of growth (anagen); transition (catagen); and resting (telogen). Prolonged or extreme stress can cause hair to prematurely enter telogen and break more easily. Stressful events can shock the hair cycle, pushing more hair into the shedding phase.

Tired of Feeling Tired?
Are you suffering with insomnia, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, chronic pain or a racing mind that keeps you up at night? Never getting a sleep where you wake feeling refreshed? Many of these issues start from an unbalanced Endocrine System. This system regulates 95% of all neurotransmitters and hormones in our body. When the thyroid isn’t functioning, the adrenal glands pick up the slack but will eventually BURN OUT! Adrenal fatigue unfortunately plagues many of us, leaving us feeling groggy, tired, anxious and depressed and with chronic headaches, brain fog and pain! But there is hope! These systems can be rebalanced with homeopathy.

Improve Wellbeing through Pet Adoption
Adopting a pet is an incredible way to live life with a compassionate attitude, towards all living things. There are so many health benefits when you adopt an animal. Emotionally, pets bring a sense of comfort, as they improve feelings of loneliness and isolation. They are the hug that brings warmth and love into your family. You will exercise more, as those big puppy eyes will want to go for a walk and in return, your cholesterol and blood sugar will drop! Adoption is the most rewarding act of kindness with the benefit of having a companion of a lifetime.
