Staying Active During the Holidays

A body in motion stays in motion; a body at rest stays at rest. It’s easy to get lazy during the holiday season! While it’s OK to take a couple of days off to celebrate with family and friends, don’t forget to keep the momentum going during the holiday season by celebrating with activities rather than just relaxation. Bundle up and get outside to skate or toboggan with family and friends, or go for a walk to check out the neighbours’ holiday lights! If it’s too cold out, book a bowling party, go axe throwing, or try laser tag. Your body will thank you!

Prostate Cancer and Benefits of Yoga

Yoga has plenty of benefits, including lower stress, improved sleep, increased lung capacity, and reduced pain. A study published in Medical News Today suggests those benefits may now extend to men undergoing radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Although an effective treatment for men with prostate cancer, radiation therapy can have side effects that impair their quality of life. The study found that with yoga sessions throughout the course of radiation therapy, the quality of life of men participating in the study remained consistent, while fatigue severity greatly improved.

Music Therapy and Neuroscience

McGill Unversity’s Dr. Daniel Levitin has found that as a result of exposure to music, levels of immunoglobin A, an antibody linked to immunity, increases. In another study he found significant evidence of music’s anti-anxiety properties. Montreal Neurological Institute’s Dr. Zatorre has found that a brain structure called the striatum is stimulated by music to release dopamine which increases feelings of pleasure. Music therapists are continually training to integrate and apply research findings into practice in order to better serve people of every age, from babies to Alzheimer’s patients.
