Downsizing? Time to Declutter!
Decluttering is the first step to successful Downsizing. Decluttering has many advantages. It relieves stress through organization, makes room for those things you really need and use, prepares your house for sale and reduces family tension while settling an estate. One of the most important considerations is the fact that 80% of the time we only use 20% of our stuff. This helps us define the first things to consider passing on to family members or donating. Meet your Seniors Real Estate Specialist, SRES®, Sheri Willick – REALTOR® and Associate Broker with Coldwell Banker Signature in Saskatoon for more information on downsizing.
Exercise – Adding Weights to Your Routine
We slowly got moving with last month’s health tip, now it is time to take it up a notch. Increase that morning routine from 10 to 20 minutes and start incorporating a few weight bearing exercises. This is incredibly important for better aging, as this helps to support insulin sensitivity for blood sugar control, but also for bone health and strength. Consider adding a weighted vest, ankle or wrist weights when walking; taking up Pilates equipment classes; or just using some free weights and resistance bands. If you are new to weight bearing, I suggest watching videos or taking some personal trainer sessions, to ensure you have correct posture and the weights are appropriate for your level of fitness.

Take a moment on June 5th, World Environment Day, to consider what each of us can do to help clean up our environment and protect it for future generations! Plastics have become a major problem in our landfills, lakes, and oceans. Consider using a concentrated cleaner, where you add the water. With just one 473ml (recyclable) bottle of a natural concentrate like Orange TKO, you can eliminate over 40 of the typical plastic bottles! Plus, you will be eliminating your use of the toxic chemical cleaners that are poisoning our homes, workplaces, waterways, fish, and animals!
Is Your Indoor Air Healthy?
We all care about our family’s health, but have you considered the quality of the air inside of our homes? Allergies, illness, and long-term health can all be affected either in a positive or negative fashion depending on the quality of the air inside your home. According to the Environmental Protection Agency the air inside your home can be 2 to 10 times more polluted than the outside air. It is difficult for our immune system to keep up with the abundance of pollen, dander, smoke, mold, bacteria, and chemical gases that are locked inside. Consider investing in an air purifier to keep your home and your family healthy.
