Belly Breathe
YOGA FOR EVERY-BODY: We adapt the yoga postures to an individual’s body rather than forcing a body to a pose. Benefits include increased strength, balance, and flexibility. Ease pain and improve heart health. Better sleep reduces stress. YOGA ANYWHERE: Belly Breathing: Sit straight or lay face-up. Hand on chest and one on belly. Exhale everything, big sigh, belly empties and shallows. Close your mouth and take a slow, deep breath in through your nose. When you breathe in, you want your belly to fill with air and get bigger like a balloon. Repeat. Find a class that suits your needs.

Overcoming Dentist Anxiety
Dental phobia has become ingrained into our society with phrases like ‘pulling teeth’ being used to mean difficult and unpleasant. As a result, an important part of the dentist’s role has become putting the patient at ease, making them secure and comfortable. Those with dental phobia tend to avoid dentists. Unfortunately, putting off regular checkups is a good way to end up with gum disease or other problems, which is why establishing a good patient-dentist relationship is so important. If you are a person who suffers from dental anxiety, mention it to your dentist and they will work with you to find a way to alleviate the stress.
Treatment for Seasonal Allergies
Spring is finally here, and that means seasonal allergies will be on the rise. Seasonal allergies develop when the immune system overreacts to something in the environment, like mold spores or pollen. Do you have any of the most common symptoms – runny nose, sneezing, itchy & watery eyes, itchy sinuses, throat, or post-nasal drip? You are most likely experiencing allergies. Homeopathy can not only treat the symptoms of seasonal allergies, but it can uproot the condition altogether, so you no longer struggle yearly. Continuing to do the same things the same way will reinforce keeping the same health problems. Contact a homeopath today!
Brain Tumor Awareness Month
The Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada’s mission is to reach every person in Canada who is affected by a brain tumour through support, education, information, and research. Every day, 27 Canadians are diagnosed with a brain tumour. We work to serve the needs of both malignant and non-malignant brain tumours. Research funded by Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada has helped improve the accuracy of radiation treatments, shorten treatment regimen times, limit side effects from chemo, and improve quality of life for patients after surgery. We are the sole funder of the Brain Tumour Tissue Bank, providing free samples to clinical researchers around the world to further the search for a cure.
Exercise – Where to Start?
Make it part of your daily routine, no matter how out of shape you are! The key is to start with something manageable and that you like (or at least don’t hate), and it does not necessarily mean jumping into CrossFit or HIIT right away. I suggest getting up 10 minute earlier in the morning to do some gentle yoga or stretching with some breathing to help set the intention for the day. Taking a walk or bike ride after supper is great not only for movement, to get some of that natural vitamin D, as well as also blunting the blood sugar spike after eating. So start slow and get moving!
