End the Self-Sabotage

Your unconscious mind is keeping you from having what you truly want in your life, and could even be sabotaging your best efforts. These unconscious commitments fuel your thoughts and behaviours. They are what creates the gap between what you say you want and what you are actually experiencing. When you were young and experienced a difficult situation but didn’t know how to process it, you made a decision about the meaning and formed a belief as a coping mechanism. Your mind believed it was necessary for survival. These beliefs stick with you and are reinforced over time. Ready to erase these unconscious commitments and choose new ones?

Should I Bring Mom or Dad Home?

If you have a parent who is in hospital, lives in a retirement home or in a long-term care facility, you may be asking yourself, “would Mom or Dad be safer staying at home with me temporarily?” Families across the country are struggling with this dilemma. Given the challenges of preventing disease transmission, some experts are recommending that seniors who can stay elsewhere should do so. If you want to bring a senior parent home temporarily but you’re worried about how you’ll provide the level of care they need, consider home health care services.

Strengthen Your Immune System

As we age, our immune response capability reduces, which can lead to potential infection and disease. Since our body uses food to extract nutrients that prevent disease, it’s important that our diets contain nutrient-rich foods for an overall stronger immune system. Antioxidant-rich foods help fight against free radicals that can cause damage to the body, whereas sugary foods generate an inflammatory response within the body, causing health issues and lowering the immune system. Foods high in antioxidants include berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, goji berries), red cabbage, beans, dark chocolate, pecans, spinach, carrots, and potatoes.
