Our daily wellness challenge continues! Today’s challenge was to do something outside. Happy Spring everyone!

Today’s challenge was to drink 2 litres of water. How did everyone do? The easiest way to ensure adequate water intake is to keep a water bottle beside you during the day. Once you feel thirsty, your body is already dehydrated. So make sure to take frequent sips throughout the day!

How is everyone doing with our March daily wellness challenge? Yesterday’s challenge was to eat 7 different fruits/vegetables. It’s easy when you make a delicious smoothie for breakfast (banana, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, and spinach) and a veggie fueled lunch - Avocado on toast with cucumber and red pepper. Try to eat a fruit or vegetable with every meal to ensure you are getting your daily dose of vitamins and minerals.

It’s Day 1 of our March wellness challenge! Today’s challenge is to meditate for 5 minutes. If it’s your first time meditating and you’re unsure where to start, download the free app insight timer to your phone. There are lots of great meditations on there on a variety of topics. What a great way to start the month!

We would love it if all our practice members got involved in our Daily Wellness Challenge for the month of March! Feel free to screenshot the chart below so you can easily follow along. The challenges are simple and aim to improve your physical and mental well-being. Check back regularly to see how our staff are doing with the challenges by way of photos and videos!

Our team wore pink yesterday in support of Anti-Bullying Day! We rise together to fight against bullying. Let’s lift each other up! #PatientFirst #PinkShirtDay #ChooseKindness #CultivateKindness #LiftEachOtherUp #BeKind #SayNoToBullying #Compassion #StopBullying #NoBullyZone #Smile

Its supplement Sunday! What? Magnesium Who? It is especially beneficial for those who experience constipation, anxiety, increased muscle tension and high blood pressure. ... When? Magnesium is an essential macro mineral that everyone needs to consume in a relatively large amount daily. Where? Magnesium can be found in whole foods like Almonds, Cashews, Spinach, Swiss chard, Pumpkin seeds, Dark chocolate, Black beans, Quinoa, Halibut, Mackerel, Avocado, Salmon. It may also be supplemented to ensure optimal levels. Make sure you are getting your supplements from a reputable source, trusted brand and with high quality ingredients. How? There are many different forms for magnesium and each is used for a different purpose. Oxide and citrate are commonly used for those struggling with constipation due to its mild laxative effect from not being efficiently absorbed in the body. Bisglycinate is a more bioavailable form therefore its more commonly used for treating muscular and cardiovascular concerns. Threonate can cross the blood brain barrier so it is ideal for cognitive support. Be sure to work closely with your healthcare practitioner if youre on any medications, or want more information about determining if magnesium is right for your individual needs. Why? Magnesium Is Involved in Hundreds of Biochemical Reactions in Your Body including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood sugar control, and blood pressure regulation. Therefore, it can help improve athletic performance, prevent migraines, relieve muscle spasms, reduce anxiety, and lower the risk for chronic conditions such as Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. If you would like to know if this supplement is right for you, or would like targeted treatment. Speak with us on your next appointment.

Its Supplement Sunday! What? Vitamin C also known as Ascorbic Acid Who? Everyone can benefit from an optimal amount of Vitamin C as it is responsible for many processes in our body... When? Vitamin C must be obtained regularly since our body does not manufacture or store it. Our immune system declines without an optimal level of vitamin C in our bloodstream, therefore it is especially important to obtain an adequate amount when you are fighting any illnesses such as a common cold. The bio availability of vitamin C declines above 500mg, so consuming large amounts of vitamin C at once will result in most being excreted. However for some individuals, 500mg of vitamin C might not be sufficient to achieve an optimal level in the body, so consuming sources of vitamin C more than once per day would be a healthy option. Where? Make sure you are getting your supplements from a reputable source, trusted brand and with high quality ingredients. How? Vitamin C can be found in fruits and vegetables such as bell peppers, chili peppers, kale, brussels sprouts, broccoli, papaya, strawberries, pineapple, kiwi and oranges. Did you know that red bell peppers have approximately 2.5 times the amount of vitamin c than an orange? Eat them raw or roasted to reap the benefits. Vitamin C can also be supplemented to ensure you are getting the optimal amount. Why? Vitamin C is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues. Its involved in many body functions, including formation of collagen, absorption of iron, the immune system, wound healing, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. If you would like to know if this supplement is right for you, or would like targeted treatment, speak to us on your next visit!

Its supplement Sunday! What? Probiotics Who? Everyone! Antibiotics, alcohol, highly processed foods and stress can disrupt you healthy gut flora... When? Probiotics are important all year round.
