Your child’s diet plays a key role in dental health. Cavity-causing bacteria thrive on sugary and carbohydrate-rich foods. Surprisingly, sugar isn’t the only concern—fermentable carbs like white bread and chips break down into sugar, fueling bacteria. The American Dental Association (ADA) warns against bedtime bottles, as sugary liquids pool around teeth, leading to decay. Time and frequency also matter; sticky foods like raisins cling to teeth, prolonging acid exposure. Frequent snacking or sipping juice increases cavity risk. Encouraging balanced meals, limiting sugary snacks, and maintaining good oral hygiene can help protect your child’s teeth from decay.

Yoga Therapy is the practice of simple movement and the relationships between each segment in your body. We focus on nervous system down regulation and learning to listen and communicate clearly through movement. This supports pain management and healthy long term body mechanics. Each person will find their own individual senses and sensations, proprioception (where you are in space) by way with interoception (feeling where you are in space with/through sensation). Yoga Therapy does not replace Asana/Yoga practice, it supports it and keeps your movement sound and pain free.

Q: Is it worth getting expensive sunglasses? I’m still upset that I lost my favourite pair. A: Most inexpensive sunglasses sold in Canada have adequate UV protection, and those are way better than having nothing to protect your eyes. Pricier sunglasses will often have well-designed optics, lens filters and coatings; well-built, durable and comfortable frames; good warranties; trendy fashions; and brand names. Keeping track of your glasses can be like taking care of your keys or cell phone!
