Walking – The Activity of a Lifetime
Exercise does not have to be complicated. We almost always have access to somewhere to walk, and walking is a great activity. If you are going to walk and haven’t done so in a while start slowly. We recommend increasing the length of the walk by 10% per week maximum. If you have been walking and want to know what you can do to increase your intensity, speed up or add some stairs to your walk. Getting to a moderate to vigorous intensity during your walk requires you to be at a point where you are working so hard that you are feeling challenged and almost out of breath.

A Great Mother’s Day Gift
Happy Mother’s Day! A gift certificate to have the house cleaned is a great gift for grandmas, moms, and expecting moms. Let Mom enjoy having a clean house without her having to make an effort. Ask neighbours and friends if they could recommend a reliable company that does work in your area. Look for someone who offers green, no-chemical cleaning. Perhaps Mom would like some choices in what services are offered – basic housecleaning, windows, kitchen appliances, carpet cleaning, etc. If Mom is happy with a clean house, Dad will be happy too. Remember – Happy wife, happy life!
Ready for Summer?
As summer approaches we prepare by putting away our winter sweaters and pulling out swimsuits and tank tops. But what have you done to prepare for the increased activity including spring cleaning, yard work and recreational activities? Any problem that occurs to the muscle and bone system will give symptoms once 80-90 % of any underlying problem is firmly established. Removing the pain is not the answer, but correcting the loss of normal function is the solution. Your Chiropractor can find the problem before you have symptoms and recommend a corrective approach to maintain and prevent summer problems.

How to Grocery Shop Smarter
Ensure you are making the healthiest choices at the grocery store for your body and your wallet. Here’s a few tips to help you stay on track: Make a plan. Plan your meals and snacks for the week so you buy what you will use. This will cut down on wasted ingredients and reduce processed food purchases.
Never go shopping when you are hungry. This will reduce impulse purchases.
Buy in bulk. Most grocery offers a bulk section to help you buy what you need and save money.
Shop the Periphery. The outside edges of the grocery store are where you’ll find most of the nutrient-dense, whole, fresh foods.
A Consistent Yogi
There are many benefits to practicing yoga on a consistent basis. Regular yoga can target your mental focus, breathing, and meditation at the same time. You will likely develop better balance and connection to your overall body and stance and may start to notice peace and relaxation in other areas of your life. Some have found their bodies cooperating better with digestion and weight loss through their practice. With a mindfulness foundation, consistent yoga practice can help instill self-acceptance, positive thoughts, and gratitude throughout your week as you begin to see the connection between your mind, breath, and strength.
