On The Menu
There’s no question that our diet affects how we function physically, mentally, and emotionally. Planning meals amid a myriad of options can be a daunting task but it doesn’t have to be. Often, popular diets are unnecessarily restrictive and demand an all or nothing approach, making lasting change difficult to maintain. Instead of quitting all unhealthy dietary habits at once, work at replacing one unhealthy choice per week with a healthy one. Need a coach? Naturopaths, dietitians, and nutritionists are great partners to help you identify best choices and stay the course to the healthiest version of you possible.
Fudgy Black Bean Brownies
• 1-1/2 cups black beans (drained and rinsed well) • 2 tbsp. cocoa powder • 1/2 cup oats • 1/4 tsp. salt • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey • pinch stevia or sweetener • 1/4 cup coconut oil • 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract • 1/2 tsp. baking powder • 2/3 cup chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350 F.

Craving or Clue?
How many rice cakes does it take to satisfy a chocolate craving? About 10 followed by a gigantic chocolate bar. What if cravings are clues that you have a need that’s not being met? That instead of chocolate what you really need is rest, pain relief or someone to talk to? A craving that doesn’t come from hunger can’t be satisfied with food. How to know if you’re hungry for a Mars Bar or a nap? 1. Become aware of a sudden and intense craving. 2. Be curious. What’s going on right now? How am I feeling? Am I actually hungry? How hungry am I? What is my real need here? It may very well be a Mars Bar, but you don’t really know until you ask yourself. If it is, savour it without guilt and congratulate yourself on the mindful decision for real self-care.

Smoking & Your Life Insurance Policy
If you smoke and are looking to buy life insurance in Canada, you can expect to pay a much higher premium than a non-smoker does. On term policies, the premiums can be more than double, and on permanent plans, the difference in rates is less pronounced. The insurance definition of a smoker is a male or female who uses nicotine, including cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, a nicotine patch, or nicotine gum. Remember that to qualify for preferred rates, the insurance company can look back up to 12 months. Rates can be up to double for smokers on term plans, but only about 25% higher on permanent plans.
