Electro-magnetic Fields (EMFs)
Low-level radiation is one type of EMF exposure and is emitted from cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, computers, and even power lines. Some scientists report that this type of EMF exposure can cause sleep disturbances, including insomnia; headache; depression and depressive symptoms; changes in memory; and lack of concentration. You can reduce the risk by using the speakerphone function on your cell phone instead of holding it to your ear. Charge your phone in a different room at night, or put it on airplane/flight mode while you sleep. Products are also available that counteract harmful frequencies using healthy ones.

The Power of Aromatherapy
Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that not only smell amazing, but can also have a positive impact on your health and well-being. Aromatherapy involves using essential oils for therapeutic benefits such as soothing headaches, relaxing muscles, calming anxiety, and boosting mood. It’s best to use high-quality essential oils and to use them safely – some may require that you use carrier oils such as olive, coconut, or jojoba oils. Essential oils can make incredibly thoughtful gifts – why not consider an Essential Oil Starter Pack w/ Diffuser as a health-conscious, self-care gift for the women in your life this Mother’s Day?

Feeling Stressed Out?
Stress is the body’s natural reaction to new, unpredictable, or threatening situations. However, constant stress can cause health problems. There are things you can do to reduce stress, such as adopting a healthy lifestyle, learning how to handle conflict and difficult situations, setting realistic goals, taking time for yourself, and practicing relaxation techniques. When these measures aren’t enough, your doctor may recommend medication. Our Integrative pharmacists can help you find the right supplements to get your body and mind back on track.

Regaining Mobility & Independence
Our day-to-day lives often involve activities that require us to venture out into public, whether it’s going to the bank, attending medical appointments, shopping, or spending time with friends and family. For those who experience mobility challenges, simple errands can be more difficult and less convenient, especially when having to rely on others for transport. Mobility scooters can help you or your loved one regain a sense of independence and control as errands become easier and access to more destinations becomes possible again. Regaining mobility and independence can simplify our daily tasks and offer us more choices.
Retirement Living
When you hear the words “independent retirement living”, what comes to mind? Do you think of *tasty home-cooked meals, *five-star plated celebrations, *fun-filled activities with friends, *weekly housekeeping and linen service and *24/7 emergency care when needed? This is what retirement living can offer and more. Whether relaxing in the privacy of your individualized senior apartment or indulging the company of others in a main living room, patio side lounge or dining room, you can be sure that your retirement will be a pleasurable one. Retirement is a time to relax and enjoy being with friends. After all, friendships are gifts to be treasured!
Pet Behavior Education for Kids
Educating our youth on animal behaviour is a program we have developed at MJHS. Understanding the needs of our pets teaches children responsibility, empathy, and compassion for their furry friends. It is so important to know the signs of our pet’s behaviour, as this is key to keeping our children safe. These learning tools will create awesome pet parents and responsible pet owners in the future. For more information on this fun, interactive learning program, please call the shelter 306-692-1517.
