Injury and symptom aggravation often follow ‘too much’. This ‘too much’ happens when we push ourselves past the bandwidth or endurance that our body has for the activity at hand. The good news is our bodies do start to tell us as we approach this line – we just need to learn to recognize these signals. It may be a slight buildup of tension, or a small and innocent ‘twinge’… Ignore the whispers and we wind up paying for it – Sometimes in a big way. Not sure what to watch for? I can help.

About 71 percent of seniors are online every day. Of those who are online, their main reason is to stay connected with family and friends. Whether it’s joining forums or sharing photos and stories with loved ones, social media and email allows seniors with limited mobility the opportunity to interact with others. If you’re interested in getting online but don’t know where to start, community centres and local senior groups often have programs to teach seniors about the internet and how to participate in online communities. Spending time with others benefits our mental and emotional health. It is important as we age to continue to stay socially connected to friends and loved ones.

Maintaining good oral health isn’t just about keeping your teeth and gums healthy – it can have an impact on the rest of your body as well. Research suggests that a buildup of dental plaque can be linked to other health issues, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes complications, and even various types of infections. Brushing and flossing away dental plaque each day can help keep buildup under control and limit your risk of other issues linked to poor oral health.

Chi Nei Tsang (CNT) is an abdominal massage involving gentle stimulation and breathwork to
promote healthy functioning and detoxification of the internal organ systems. By promoting the
circulation of blood and fluids within the spaces of the abdomen, we facilitate the
parasympathetic nervous system’s ability to bring us into a state of rest and digest in order for
the body to nourish and regenerate. CNT can be helpful in the relief of complex conditions
involving stress, anxiety, digestive, and menstrual complaints. In creating space within our core,
we encourage the body’s natural ability to function healthfully and harmoniously.
