Spring Happiness
April is truly spring. Our senses peak to the scent of flowers, vivid colours, and sounds of birds. This is a perfect time to multiply the effects everywhere within our body, especially with exercise and nutrition. You feel like walking and running outdoors and just the look of fresh spring vegetables will have them home and on your plate before you know it. It is so important to glorify the positives around and within you. Breathe it in and hold it in your memories for future use. People sometimes say, “Nothing makes me happy.” Spring is your chance to discover natural happiness; start your inventory of happy this month.
The Movement and Learning Connection
Is your child feeling overwhelmed or frustrated about keeping up at school? Is he or she struggling with lack of focus or motivation? What if learning can be fun? Imagine your child learning multiplication tables while doing physical exercises. Boredom and fatigue slip away. It’s not long before your child lights up and realizes he is finally grasping and recalling math or new concepts in science. Confidence begins to grow. Movements that cross the midline of the body fire up the brain. Brain gym exercises release stress and flood the body with endorphins, which also help with depression or anxiety. Simply put, when the body moves, the mind moves.
Smile Confidently
Dental implants from offer a great way to replace missing teeth and also provide patients with the option of having removable partial or complete dentures. Implants provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances. Dental implants are artificial roots (titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist or periodontist (a specialist of the gums and supporting bone). The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile! Dental implants are strong and durable and will last many years. On occasion they will have to be re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear.
Think Before You Buy
Today, the news advised that for every dollar Canadians earn, we owe $170. How does that work? It doesn’t! Saying no to ourselves, or not now, or I will save to purchase is not the way in our ‘immediate gratification’ day and age. The online shopping availability on every social media platform is overwhelming at times. The specials with deadlines are trusting that we will click and order before we have had a chance to think if we even need, yes need, not just want the item. We might need to do a little spring cleaning in our approach to click and buy.

Travelling with Pets
If you decide to bring your pet along on a trip, take a few things into consideration. Air travel can be particularly dangerous for animals with “pushed in” faces like bulldogs or pugs. Their short nasal passages leave them especially vulnerable to oxygen deprivation. If flying with your pet is the only option, find out whether they can travel in the cabin with you. You must call the airline well in advance; there are limits to the number of animals allowed in the cabin. Travel is a stressful event for animals, so remember to plan ahead of time, and talk with your veterinarian if you have other concerns.
Is my Cell Phone Harming my Health?
You take care of yourself, you eat the right foods, and you exercise. But still, you are not feeling the vibrancy you once had. Perhaps you are part of a group of thousands of people worldwide who suffer from a condition known as electro-hypersensitivity (EHS). EHS results from over-exposure to electricity from building wiring and wireless technology. Not recognizing the health effects caused by EMFs can result in healthcare providers missing an important factor in their search for the causes of illness. The first step in assessing your health is to have an electromagnetic field (EMF) survey conducted of your home and office to reduce or eliminate EMFs.
