Listen to Music without Damaging Your Hearing
Did you know that music players can produce max volumes of 100 decibels or more? At that level, hearing damage can occur within 15 minutes! A good song or a loud environment can tempt us to turn up the volume on our music players, but listening to music too loudly can, over time, cause permanent damage to our hearing. In fact, hearing loss is on the rise in teens and young adults due to loud noise exposure. Consider wearing over-the-ear headphones. These headphones (also known as supra-aural earphones) sit on your ear rather than in them like ear buds and canal phones. They have a band that stretches over your head. Supra-aural earphones don’t send sound vibrations directly into your eardrum. A consistently direct sound vibration hitting your ear drum can, over time, damage your hearing.

Acupuncture for Headaches
If you experience headaches, try Acupuncture to alleviate your pain! There are four main types of headache: tension, cluster, sinus and migraine. Headaches are typically caused by triggers, such as food, stress, hormones, dehydration and weather. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the goal is to diagnose the root cause of the headache, not to just treat the symptoms. After diagnosing the correct cause of the headache, the acupuncture treatment facilitates blood flow, treats the underlining cause and alleviates pain.

Lotteries Most Popular Form of Gambling
According to the 2014 British Columbia Problem Gambling Prevalence Study, approximately 72.5% of British Columbians gamble. Lotteries remain the most popular form of gambling (81.6%), with 43.6% of gamblers naming it as their favourite form of gambling. Interestingly, when speaking with people in a community, very few individuals initially identify themselves as gamblers but at some point in the conversation, the person may say “Oh, but I buy lottery tickets every week.” This simple reflection exemplifies some of the myths and misunderstandings that surround what gambling is and is not, and who is stigmatised, and who isn’t. Food for thought …

Pair Relief with Bowen Therapy
Do you experience joint pain or restriction in range of motion? Bowen Therapy is safe and effective to help with repetitive work injures, back and neck pain, chronic pain and more. It stimulates the body to heal itself with long term lasting results. A treatment consists of sequences of small moves with a rest period in between to let the body process the information. It is a gentle, pain-free and effective soft tissue therapy that balances tension patterns in the body, resulting in a deep state of relaxation. Many people turn to Bowen Therapy when other pain treatments have failed.
Laughter is the Goal
If you are looking for serious themes and messages in a theatrical production, keep looking. In the upcoming Norm Foster comedy “Self Help”, laughter is the goal. Norm Foster is considered the most produced playwright in Canada’s history. Differentiated from a comedy, a farce is a light, humorous play in which the plot depends upon a skillfully exploited situation rather than upon the development of character. As always NTG takes producing quality theatre very seriously with attention to every detail on stage and backstage including set, properties, costumes, lighting and sound.
Renew Your Skin for Spring
With the holidays over, we are looking forward to the renewal of spring! A medical grade chemical peel is a great way to renew your skin by improving skin texture and tone. By using a blend of acids chosen for your particular skin type and needs, they induce exfoliation and stimulate new cell growth. This process causes superficial layers of dead skin to peel, revealing a smoother, healthier, and improved, radiant complexion. Chemical peels can be done in a series or seasonally. Complimentary consultation are available with professional, licensed medical estheticians.
Super Charged Oxygen Treats Chronic Pain
Oxygen is the lifeblood of the cellular system. Ozone is a supercharged form of oxygen that contains an extra atom. When treatment is applied, this extra atom breaks off inside the body and does more than just oxygenate cells. These oxygen singlets are free to bind and destroy any viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, molds, yeasts and abnormal tissue cells. Once these abnormal cells are oxidized and eliminated from the body, they are replaced with healthy cells. Ozone therapy in conjunction with injection therapy is used to treat and eliminate chronic pain resulting from nerve injuries, degenerative joints and ligaments.
