Look for Local

Made in Winnipeg, Bliss Gourmet Cookies are hand-crafted authentic Italian recipes that have been passed down three generations. Bliss Gourmet has strong family ties to Italian culture, instilled in the family by their father, who gave them the drive to share the traditions. Growing up in the family business, working alongside their father, the family developed the art and fueled their passion for baking. These baked goods have symbolic meaning, so carrying on their father’s recipes and legacy makes them feel closer to him. Look for Manitoba-made Bliss Gourmet Cookies the next time you do your grocery shopping at Brandon Sobeys.

Nutrition and Arthritis

Arthritis, an inflammatory joint disease with acute crises and dormant periods, brings fatigue, joint stiffness, and pain.

Good Nutrition & Digestion = Good Health

No matter how clean, organic, and healthy you eat, if your body isn’t able to digest, absorb, and process essential nutrients properly, you are not benefitting from your efforts.
To do this, your stomach needs to fully digest, your intestines need to completely absorb, and your liver needs to properly process the food you eat.
One of the simplest ways to correct and improve any issue you may have with the digestive process is through nutritional testing.
If a weakness is found in a specific organ, nutritional supplementation can be added to your diet to improve the digestive process and in turn, help you benefit from your wise choices.

Nourishing Seniors, Building Communities

In retirement communities, mealtimes are vital for seniors, fostering socialization and delivering essential nutrients. To ensure a wholesome diet, communities prioritize well-balanced meals with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Seniors, prone to health risks, must maintain good nutrition to avoid weight loss, depression, and weakened immune systems. The National Resource Center on Nutrition & Aging reports over 5.5 million seniors facing food insecurity. Retirement communities address nutritional challenges by providing chef-prepared communal meals. This approach ensures proper nutrition, fosters a social atmosphere, and creates a well-rounded dining experience for residents.
