A mobility scooter is a lifestyle-enhancing vehicle that can help you rediscover a sense of freedom and mobility. To get the most out of your scooter, you need the right one for you and your lifestyle. Things to consider include: – Can it be transported by car, taxi and plane? – Does it come apart and go back together easily? – Are the parts light enough to lift? – What are the weight restrictions? Take into account the things that you transport on a regular basis not just your own weight. Mobility scooters may be covered by extended health care plans.
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.
April Brain Teasers
1. Lose me once I’ll come back stronger, lose me twice I’ll leave forever, what am I? 2. What is the difference between a person with a terrible toothache and a rainy day? 3. A Buddhist went to the dentist for a root canal, but he refused novocain, why?
Why Strip and Wax Floors?
Stripping and waxing your floors can help make them look new again and last longer over time. You should have your floors regularly stripped and waxed to: 1) Prevent lifting – over time, water and dirt can cause floor tiles to lift and become loose due to weakened glue. Waxing can help block water and dirt from entering cracks. 2) Prevent scratches – regular stripping and waxing can get rid of unwanted scratches on tiles and form a protective layer. 3) Prevent discolouration and staining – constant traffic can wear down the protective floor coating and cause discolouration. Regular waxing helps prevent this.
Microflora and Healthy Teeth
Dental hygiene is extremely important to our overall health! Chinese medicine connects each one of our teeth to different bodily organs and structures, so if you want a healthy body, you need healthy teeth. An imbalance in the microflora in the mouth and gut and/or a lack of vital minerals may contribute to cavities. If the gut flora has more yeast or harmful bacteria, the body won’t be able to absorb needed nutrients and minerals. Luckily, tissue salts and homeopathy can help balance microflora and aid in the absorption of minerals, helping our teeth, and therefore our body, heal.
Oral Health Month
April is Oral Health Month in Canada and a great reminder to practice good oral hygiene! Here are five tips for maintaining good oral health: 1) Make healthy food choices and limit sugary and highly acidic foods to avoid tooth decay and acid erosion. 2) Don’t smoke or use tobacco products, which can stain teeth, cause gum damage, give you bad breath, cause tooth loss, and even lead to oral cancer. 3) Brush twice and floss once daily. 4) Make note of any oral issues you have, including sensitivity, bleeding, pain, or strange lumps. 5) Visit your dentist regularly.

Reiki – Release Stress and Tension
Reiki offers deep relaxation and helps the body release stress and tension. A reiki treatment gives you time to yourself where you are ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’. Clients report feeling more clear, peaceful, relaxed, and lighter in themselves. Reiki provides a space where you can be more aware of what is going on inside your body and mind. You can learn to listen to your own body and make wise decisions about your wellbeing. Being more present in your body helps you to access the inner knowing and wisdom that we all have!
