Massage therapy is undeniably effective at getting people tapped into their parasympathetic nervous system, which is more commonly called ‘rest and digest’. Unfortunately, many spend most of their days in ‘fight or flight’! When the parasympathetic nervous system is in charge, blood pressure and heart rate lower, breathing is fuller, oxygen and blood make it deeper into the body, tissues repair themselves, organs do their jobs better, and overall, mental health is much more relaxed and content. It’s not hard to understand why being in ‘rest and digest’ is more conducive to recovery, management and being better prepared to handle what life throws at us!

Heart & Stroke Awareness Month
Did you know that heart disease remains the leading causes of death in Canada? The good news is that 80 per cent of cardiovascular diseases are preventable through healthy lifestyle and diet. By adopting a healthier lifestyle, you can delay the onset of heart disease or stroke by as much as 14 years! You can further reduce your risk by considering these heart-healthy steps: • Be smoke-free • Be physically active • Control your blood pressure • Keep your blood cholesterol levels in check • Eat a healthy diet • Achieve and maintain a healthy weight • Manage your diabetes • Limit alcohol use • Reduce stress.
Get Your Mouth Checked!
An oral health exam is critical to the maintenance of your overall wellbeing. You should have your mouth checked at least once a year for prevention and treatment of any ailments. Even if you don’t have any live teeth, it’s important to make sure there are no signs of infections or early signs of cancer, growths, or cysts, and that your dentures are fitting you well. Leaving problems untreated usually leads to pain, periodontal disease, or tooth loss, and could make treatment more difficult, so it’s best to deal with problems early, or, if possible, prevent them.
Revitalize Your Lifestyle Now
Embarking on a post-career phase, some adopt unhealthy habits: skipping meals, relying on convenient yet un-nutritious food, early bedtime, isolation, and self-care neglect. Notice these signs? If some or all these behaviours have crept into your lifestyle, it’s time to upgrade your living arrangements. Imagine being served on site, chef prepared meals, having lively and interesting conversations and activities with your neighbors, being provided dedicated cleaning staff to keep your suite clean and have a space you can be proud to invite your family and friends to visit.

New Year, New Smile!
Are you ready to kick off a new year with a dazzling new smile? Have you considered dentures? Dentures are removable replacements for your missing teeth, made to appear and function as well as your natural teeth and surrounding gum tissues. Missing teeth can result in your face taking on a sunken-like appearance. Dentures can effectively reverse that by providing a structure with definition back into your cheeks, making you look younger and livelier. You can enjoy a straighter and more even smile and the procedure will complete the spaces where there were once gaps. This year, give yourself a confident and healthy smile!
Make the Most of your New Year’s Resolutions
If you’re planning to adopt a healthier lifestyle in 2024 you need to know an important fact – no matter what stress-handling techniques you use, how well you eat, or how much exercise and sleep you get, to achieve your goals and get the most out of your efforts, your body must be functioning optimally. That is why it is important to find out if your body is lacking the crucial nutrients needed to properly function. Specialized nutritional testing can help you get the answers you need to improve your health and make your New Year’s resolutions a reality.

Beat the January Blues
This January, prioritize self-care and embrace healthy habits. Start by maintaining a balanced diet rich in mood-boosting nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. Regular exercise is crucial, as it releases endorphins that alleviate stress and enhance overall well-being. Ensure sufficient sleep to support mental resilience and combat fatigue. Incorporate mindfulness practices like meditation or deep breathing to manage stress and promote mental clarity. Cultivate social connections by spending time with loved ones, as social interactions can positively impact mood. Lastly, engage in activities that bring joy and fulfillment, fostering a positive mindset during the winter months.
