Make Your Home Workstation Work As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are finding themselves working from homewith very little notice to prepare. Some without a dedicated home office are using coffee tables, recliners, kitchen tables and counters, and any number of other surfaces and locations as makeshift workspaces. All can potentially lead to aches and pain. Scott Donkin, DC, DACBOH, and Scott Bautch, DC, DACBOH, ergonomics specialists and members of th...e American Chiropractic Association (ACA) Council on Occupational Health, are accustomed to making recommendations for their patients’ traditional workspaces, but they also understand that in times of unexpected change people must find ways to adapt quickly. At the start of the pandemic, the two doctors noticed that many of the workers forced to go remote were working on laptops, which was contributing to their musculoskeletal issues. **To read the full article from handsdownbetter.org click the link below: https://handsdownbetter.org/make-your-home-workstation-work/ #kelownachiro #kelownamassage #summuslaser #summusmedicallaser #hyperice #chronicpain #pain #backpain #chiropractor #chiropractic #rmt #acupuncture #activerelease #graston #lasertherapy #kelownasmallbusiness #kelowna #kelownafitness #okanaganlifestyle #exercise #beactive #stressfree #stressless #painfree #backpain #activelife #chiropracticcare #movement #movementismedicine #activeliving

And now for another soup recipe! (can't stop, won't stop!) It’s one of those magical recipes where you throw everything into a big pot, let it simmer and melt together, and blend it up until nice and smooth. Simple Cream of Tomato Soup comes together quickly to make a creamy and lush soup with canned tomatoes, some onion and garlic, a little butter, and a few splashes of chicken broth and whole cream. ... INGREDIENTS: 2 tablespoons butter 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped 12 cloves garlic, minced 2 (14-ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes, or 4 cups whole fresh tomatoes, blanched and skin removed Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 1 1/2 cups chicken broth 1/2 cup heavy cream INSTRUCTIONS: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and juice from the cans, salt and pepper to taste, and the chicken broth. Simmer the tomato mixture for 10 minutes. Working in batches, add the hot tomato mixture to a blender or food processor, and process until very smooth. If using a blender, cover the top with a towel, not the lid. Add the smooth soup back to the saucepan, and add the cream. Stir to combine, and serve right away. NOTES: To make the design on the top of the soup, just drizzle a little more cream over the soup once it’s in a bowl. If using fresh tomatoes, you may need to add a pinch of sugar to offset their more acidic taste. An immersion blender would also work great for this recipe.
