In essence, snakes have two distinct hearing mechanisms, which helps them hear and catch prey. *In the hopes of attracting a mate, mice serenade each other with sounds inaudible to humans. *Male mosquitoes hear with thousands of tiny hairs growing on their antennae. Humans can rely on technology to improve their hearing. If you are wondering about your own hearing ability, the first thing to do is to book a hearing test.

Importance of Vitamin D
With the darker winter months upon us, we do not get enough sun exposure for our bodies to produce sufficient vitamin D on their own. Osteoporosis Canada recommends that most Canadian adults should take a daily vitamin D supplement. Vitamin D plays an essential role in bone health by facilitating the absorption of calcium. In addition, it helps maintain muscle health, can minimize the effects of seasonal depression, and may reduce the risk of fractures caused by falls. Talk to one of our pharmacists about recommended doses.
Embracing Comfort & Safety
As 2024 begins, our focus turns to winter wellness for our loved ones. Home care becomes a beacon of warmth and support, ensuring seniors navigate the colder months with comfort and safety.

Pour 3 cups heavy cream, add ¼ tsp black pepper, ⅛ tsp nutmeg, and 6 sage leaves and gently stir. Simmer on medium-high heat, then low for 15 mins till cream thickens and potatoes are half-cooked.
