Over 65? Assess Your Risk

Bone mineral density (BMD) testing is crucial in assessing the risk of developing osteoporosis or fractures. Women and men over 65 and those with risk factors for fracture should get a BMD test.

You have the option of either having the scan in our office or in the comfort of your home since we have a portable one. Echolight™ is radiation-free, safe, accurate as well as Health Canada and FDA approved.

Forgot About Spring Cleaning?

Good thing it’s never too late to start! One of the main areas that could benefit from a deep cleanse are your carpets and rugs! Did you know that many carpet warranties require you to have the carpet professionally cleaned at least once a year? Every spring you should have your carpets cleaned by a professional, who will rid them of stains, stubborn debris, and bacteria that have accumulated over the winter and early-spring. You should always use a professional steam cleaner because at home systems can leave a layer of moisture that does not get dried quickly enough. This creates an opportunity for mold to grow underneath your carpet.

Allergy Season Is Back

Many people suffering from seasonal hypersensitivities, such as head pressure, itchy eyes, and a runny or stuffy nose this allergy season will find only temporary relief, or no relief at all, from over-the-counter remedies. Alternative approaches, such as nutritional supplementation and Biofeedback focus on more than just symptomatic relief. They enable the body’s ability to remove existing allergens embedded in the sinus tissues, thereby minimizing the histamine and inflammatory reactions. This stops the over-production of mucus that the body makes to try and push the allergens out. Take a different approach this allergy season – treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

4 Foods for a Better Mood

When you’re reaching for your next snack or meal, consider the contents and how they impact your emotional state. Here are several mood-boosting foods that will help you not only feel full, but good too. 1. Trail Mix: Nuts and seeds contain depression-combating protein and fibre, while berries contain energy-boosting sugars. 2. Fatty Fish: Contain omega-3s, an essential nutrient for maintaining long-term mental wellbeing. 3. Fermented Foods: Contain probiotics, which are great for the gut, and therefore the brain. 4. Dark Chocolate: Contains flavonoids, which have been linked to increased brain health (eat this in moderation, though).

Healthy Weight Loss Through Diet

Low carb, high protein, keto, paleo, intermittent fasting, vegan, flexitarian… there are so many options. If you are trying to lose weight, any of the fad diets will help you achieve short-term results. But for long-lasting results and overall health and wellness, you’ll want to create a personalized diet plan. Be realistic about how many calories you need based on your age and activity level. Plan for a balanced intake of nutrients. Consider whether additional supplements may be needed and whether they may interact with your medications or medical conditions. If opting to take a weight loss medication, it will work better when combined with diet and lifestyle changes.

Maintain a Healthy Bathroom

Bathrooms can be full of germs and bacteria, so besides cleaning weekly, it’s important to do a deep clean once a month. Because bacteria in bathrooms can cover all surfaces and spread quickly, cleaning regularly with antibacterial products can help ensure you avoid any illnesses or infections that can be caused by stomach and bacterial viruses. Mould is also a concern in bathrooms and can cause respiratory problems, as well as chronic health problems long-term. Keep these potential issues at bay by giving your bathroom a monthly deep clean, or call a cleaning service for a bit of extra help!
