More Fun Than a Treadmill: Try Dancing
Let’s be honest — dancing is way more fun than a treadmill workout or lifting weights. It’s a fantastic way to stay physically active, while also giving your brain a boost. Learning to lead or follow in partner dances challenges coordination, focus, and memory. Best of all, it pulls you away from screens and into real-life social interaction. Interested in giving it a try? Just search “UofSBDC” for the University of Saskatchewan Ballroom Dance Club. With six decades of experience, they offer affordable, well-structured dance seasons. Dance for fun, fitness, and friendship—your mind and body will thank you!
Prioritize Inner Peace: A Self-Care Reminder
July 24 marks International Self-Care Day—a perfect time to reflect on how you care for your emotional well-being. True self-care goes beyond bubble baths and spa days. It’s also about setting healthy boundaries, nurturing relationships, and seeking support when life feels overwhelming. As a counsellor and mediator, I encourage you to take inventory of your mental health. Are you bottling up emotions or avoiding conflict? Talking to a professional can provide clarity, tools, and healing. Remember, prioritizing your peace isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

At You and Your Health… First, I encourage you to check in with how you’re really feeling—physically and emotionally—and honour those needs without guilt. Whether that’s taking a break, setting healthy boundaries, or reaching out for support, self-care is not selfish; it’s essential.

Prioritizing Self-Care with Support
Self-care is essential for maintaining physical, emotional, and mental well-being—especially for older adults and family caregivers. It can be as simple as staying hydrated, taking a walk, connecting with friends, or enjoying a quiet moment. Too often, family caregivers neglect their own needs while caring for others. That’s where Home Instead can help. Our compassionate Care Pros support aging adults in their daily activities, giving family members peace of mind and time to recharge. Whether it’s a few hours a week or full-time assistance, we’re here to make care and self-care more accessible for everyone.

Proper Sizing for a Rollator Walker
When choosing a rollator, proper fit is crucial for safety and comfort. At Schaan Healthcare, we offer fittings tailored to each customer. We will start by having you try a mini, regular, or tall model to see which offers you the most comfort. The seat height should be at the bend of your knee, and you should be able to sit in a perched position. Next, we will adjust the handle height so that the center of your wrist is at the handgrips. You should be walking upright with a 15% bend in your elbows. Visit us at 2346 Millar Avenue to enjoy greater independence with every step!
