Spring is a season of new beginnings and that often comes with a natural desire to focus on our health. If the cold winter months have left you with some extra insulation or the past year of pandemic living has you realizing that you need to make some changes to improve your health, then my new Be Your BEST program is for you. This six-week group coaching program will address the 3 biggest challenges to improved health and well-being: eating better consistently, moving more consistently and the BIGGEST ONE: managing our thoughts and that little voice in our head that thwarts our efforts.

Benefits of Home Care for Seniors
For many Canadian seniors, home health care is a key part of aging safely at home. Whether seniors need medical services, personal care, transportation, housekeeping or companionship, home care can help them live independently at home, for as long as possible – and provide peace of mind to their families. At Bayshore Home Health, we’ve been helping seniors age in place for over 50 years. Our customized care plans are designed to provide the support seniors need to continue to live in their own homes. We make home care simple – your dedicated Care Manager works with you to design a customized care plan to provide the support you need at home. Talk to your family about aging in place safely, with the supports you need.
Freedom at Any Age
These days the mobility market is full of possibilities. Rather than being confined to the inside of your home or relying on friends and family to take you out, consider the freedom of a mobility scooter. Battery powered scooters have come a long way and are now more affordable than ever. They provide the freedom to get around, they conserve physical energy, and they also provide you access to places you may not have previously been able to go. Along with the freedom, mobility scooters offer an element of safety.
Healing with Reflexology
There are reflex points on your feet that relate to specific organs and glands in the body. Through the application of pressure on these reflexes using specific hand and finger techniques, reflexology therapy can relieve tension, improve blood circulation, and support the body’s efforts to function optimally. The benefits of reflexology include its ability to stimulate nerve function, increase energy, boost circulation, induce a deep state of relaxation and eliminate toxins from the body. Your feet will love the pampering and you may feel calm and a sense of well-being.
IBS Awareness Month
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common health issue affecting 13-20% of Canadians. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. People of all ages are affected, and typically more women than men experience symptoms. The cause of IBS symptoms can sometimes be difficult to pinpoint, but several parasites and bacteria have been linked to symptoms, and the brain has also been found to play a large part in the condition. Bioresonance therapy is a safe and effective option for helping to provide relief from the inflammation and irritation related to IBS symptoms.

Cordless Phones – The Elephant in the Room
While most people have heard the connection to EMF exposure and cell phones, few think twice about the cordless phone sitting by your nightstand. These phones are now almost always DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication) phones. Almost all DECT base stations send microwave radiation 24 X 7 and can account for a large portion of the wireless exposure in a home. Many scientists believe that this disrupts our brain’s intercellular signaling which accounts for many of the adverse health effects that people experience. For a more restful sleep, these phones should have no place in a sleeping area such as a bedroom – and better yet – think of switching these over to a hard-lined (old style corded) phone.
March is Nutrition Month!
Nutrition Month is a great time to consider the importance nutrition plays in our day-to-day lives. This year’s Nutrition Month theme centres around the idea that nutrition and healthy eating can look different from person to person. You may have special dietary restrictions based on one or more health conditions, or you may require a special diet to meet your unique nutrition needs. Proper nutrition is important for your overall health and may help prevent chronic health conditions. A trained home care provider can help with in-home food preparation to ensure your meals are nourishing and tailored to your needs!
