Compression is great for jobs with prolonged sitting or standing, pregnancy and pre and post-vein surgery. They are also great for everyday activities, like hiking, and jogging! Benefits include improving circulation, reducing swelling, and relieving achy and fatigued legs. Get them fitted by a trained professional and ensure the compression is graduated; strongest at the ankle and less as it moves up the leg. They come in various colors and styles to meet your needs and personal preferences. Most benefit plans cover medical compression stockings annually with a doctor’s prescription.

How to Choose a Seniors’ Residence
When you decide to begin looking at a seniors’ residence, there are some things to keep in mind. The most important question that should be asked is “What’s important to you?”. As you are looking, remember that first impressions count. Is the building design and neighborhood appealing? Are the amenities and activities offered of interest to you? Are the residents and staff friendly towards you and to each other? Check out the dining room and ask the residents about their dining experience. If the first impressions are favourable, book a formal tour and experience it for yourself!
Cleaning with Hypochlorous Acid
Studies have shown that hypochlorous acid (HOCL) is an effective disinfectant and sanitizer that can be used in public places and homes to protect against a broad range of microorganisms. It’s also simple to make with just 1/2 gram of salt and 1 ml of vinegar added to water, which is then electrolyzed. The neutral charge of HOCL helps burst the cells of harmful microorganisms, and also helps it remove dirt and grease effectively. Recent research trials have shown that HOCL could also potentially be effective at killing the SARS-2-Covid virus on surfaces and within the body.
Electro-magnetic Fields (EMFs)
Low-level radiation is one type of EMF exposure and is emitted from cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, computers, and even power lines. Some scientists report that this type of EMF exposure can cause sleep disturbances, including insomnia; headache; depression and depressive symptoms; changes in memory; and lack of concentration. You can reduce the risk by using the speakerphone function on your cell phone instead of holding it to your ear. Charge your phone in a different room at night, or put it on airplane/flight mode while you sleep. Products are also available that counteract harmful frequencies using healthy ones.
New to Coaching?
Coaching is not advice, therapy, or counselling. Coaching, just as in athletics, is about teamwork. You will express a desire about something you would like to change in your life and together with your coach, you will figure out different practices to address this. The Enneagram Personality Type System is one tool that can be used to explore and connect, whether individually or with others. The idea is to respond from what you know to be true in the moment, without reliving the past or worrying about the future, and to self-correct old behaviours and create new ways of responding.
Fever Can Be Helpful
Did you know that the immune system’s ability nearly doubles for every 1 degree above normal your body temperature rises? A fever is extremely beneficial to help the immune system fight off disease. Over-the-counter medications can sometimes inhibit the release of glutathione – the body’s master antioxidant – which is also beneficial for fighting disease. While there are some cautions when it comes to fever, this bodily reaction can actually be a good thing sometimes, as it shows our immune system is kicking into high-gear. A couple of easy ways to cope include getting lots of rest and plenty of fluid intake.
