November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and as part of our #Dynacare4Diabetes wellness initiative with Diabetes Canada: Manitoba, we’re raising awareness about the risk factors for type 2 diabetes as well as the impacts on those living with this all-too-common disease. For individuals living with diabetes, maintaining a healthy diet plays an important role in managing the disease. This includes limiting portion sizes and sugars, eating plenty of vegetables and avoiding highly processed foods. Most importantly, though, it means consulting your doctor before making any changes to your meal plan.

At Dynacare, the health and safety of our customers, employees and communities is our top priority and to keep everyone safe, we’ve added steps to our screening process.

As the temperatures outside continue to drop, going out and getting active can at times be a challenge. Thankfully, from squats to pushups to jogging in place, there are a number of ways to exercise while indoors in order to support both our physical and mental health.

Winter is just a month away, and the colder weather and reduced daylight hours can mean fewer opportunities to go outside and get your daily dose of vitamin D. Often referred to as the sunshine vitamin, vitamin D is best obtained by safely exposing your skin to sunlight. When getting outside isn’t an option, it’s often a good idea to boost your levels by taking supplements or consuming foods that contain vitamin D, like eggs, fatty fish and fortified milk. To learn more about the ABCs of vitamin D, visit: https://www.dynacare.ca//learning-the-abcs-of-vitamin-d.as
