Lifewise Health & Wellness Bulletin - September 2010
Having been a student for many years, September has always seemed to me like the start of a new year, an exciting time of new classes, friends, and ideas. We are now nicely settling in to our new location on Mt Pleasant – thank you for all the well wishes and positive feedback on the new space. We are happy to be here and hope to now stay put for many years! If you haven’t yet come for a visit, we invite you to drop by! Give us a call if you need directions or parking info. Along with our fresh start, let’s also make a resolution for this “new” year. Let’s all try to be more conscious of how we treat each other, and also not forget how we treat ourselves. A little kindness can go a long way in both respects. Best wishes!
Yours In Health,
Dr. Karen Baker

Super Bug? Or Simple Bad Habits?
Sarah Dobec (Holistic Nutritionist)
September is a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. It is also a perfect time to focus on building a healthy immune system as we inch closer to autumn, winter and cold/flu season.
In a course I took this summer they really drove home the idea that it is not the 'germ' that is the issue in health, it is the 'terrain'. The health of the individual will determine whether they are able to fight the most recent cold germ or bug.
There is a lot of press and mania around newer, stronger viruses. It seems that every season we are faced with a new SUPER bug.
Yes the bugs that make us sick are learning to adapt to the antibiotics we use to fight them, but drugs are not our only defense against illness. The human immune system is a truly amazing system that given the right conditions can ward off many potential infections.
While it is important to be aware of community health issues it is even more important to focus on building your own immunity and overall health by taking a look at your own health habits: There are lots of simple things to do to give the immune system a fighting chance:
Eat Well, Keep Active, Be Rested, Stress Less, Stop Smoking, Drink Less Alcohol and More Water, Wash Your Hands, Have an Emotional Support Network, When you are sick – Stay Home and Rest, Listen to Your Body – take a break when you start to feel run down.
For more information about what you can do to prepare for cold and flu season visit Sarah’s most recent blog post: sarahdobec.blogspot.com, or visit her at the office.

Pass It On!
Dr. Karen Baker
If we remember and take the time to care for our own health and wellness we will have the energy and capacity to make a difference in the lives of others – those we know and care about – and even in the lives of complete strangers.
It is so easy for our days to become focused on the demands of our job and on the needs of our families and our households; we become task oriented and forget about the importance of little things.
Small random acts of kindness or caring really do make a difference in peoples’ lives, to others in our communities that we tend to only acknowledge as blurs we pass by on the road.
Challenge yourself this month to perform one good deed a day. Here are some suggestions:
Pick up a discarded coffee cup and put it in the recycle or trash bin.
Hold the door for someone as you enter or exit a building.
Smile at the driver in the car next to you or the person you pass on the street.
Give to a food drive for the homeless.
Compliment a stranger on their garden.
Make an online donation to victims of a natural disaster.
Give one of your healthy homemade muffins to a co-worker.
Help a child choose out-grown toys to donate to a shelter.
Often the opportunity to do a good deed will simply present itself – you just need to pay attention. The amazing thing is not only will you feel good about yourself, but such behaviour is contagious. Others who benefit from your kind act are more likely to also do something nice for someone else. We can make the world a kinder and healthier place, one smile at a time.
You can make a difference… Pass it on!

Less IS More
Paul Lara
Sometimes life gets a bit crazy, and sometimes crazy can come all at once. Lethargy, anxiety, stress - this is what crazy can bring.
When life becomes heavy, most of us react by giving our undivided attention to the situation in need. As a result we neglect meals, fitness routines, relaxation time, sleep, etc. This in turn begins to create overall life discomfort. We walk around feeling like we are just trying to catch up to a rhythm we no longer are a part of.
Fabulously designed fast-track fitness routines can burn out as quick as we light them up. Our patterns of exercise and health shouldn’t resemble a rollercoaster.
From meditation to power-lifting, a consistent routine of just a little bit everyday is better than a once a week workout that takes up the majority of your Saturday.
Take as little as 5 minutes a day, create that time for yourself and try to keep it around the same time every day. Mornings are excellent times, but everyone is different and therefore everyone is going to be attracted to slightly different rhythms. As long as we can maintain a somewhat consistent routine, we can learn to adapt and flow with the inevitable changes crazy can bring.
Paul Lara offers Reiki and Accupressure Therapy, as well as Tai Chi and Meditation classes at Lifewise.

Lifewise Health & Wellness Bulletin - August 2010
HERE WE GROW AGAIN!
Over the past few years we at Lifewise have been working hard to add services and value to what we offer our clientele (our loyal friends and customers); as many of you have noticed we are getting a bit cramped in our existing office, and have decided that we have outgrown the space. In an effort to accommodate our growing list of services and classes we have now found a wonderful new location (within the neighbourhood) on the northwest corner of Mount Pleasant and Belsize.
Once we found the perfect spot, all the pieces fell together very quickly - it has turned out to be a bit of a whirlwind move! But, we’re all very excited for the opportunity to grow and we will be up and running in the new location as of August 23rd.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the office. Our phone number, email address and website will stay the same. Thank you to everyone for your support and encouragement. Hope to see you soon!

Osteoporosis
Sarah Dobec (Holistic Nutritionist)
Osteoporosis is a common but often misunderstood condition of the bones. We tend to think that bone health is equivalent to our calcium intake but it is so much more than that!
Our bones have many important roles including providing structure, protection, and storage of minerals, as well as immunity and blood cell formation.
We seem to accept osteoporosis as a condition we will inevitably get as we age. This couldn't be further from the truth. We have the power to avoid this condition with proper nutrition and a clear understanding of how our bones work. Knowledge is power and when we understand the functions of the bones, we can make educated choices to ensure their lifelong health.
Did you know that the health of your digestive system is linked to bone health? You can take the world's best calcium supplement, but if it can't get absorbed because of a compromised digestive system then it can't support your bones.
Strong, healthy bones depend on the body being able to absorb all of the nutrients (building blocks) required in bone formation: including Vitamin D, Magnesium, Potassium, not just Calcium.
Certain conditions can prevent bone growth and even leach nutrients from the bone. Such as when our body chemistry is too acidic, when we eat too much protein, smoke or consume alcohol.
As with so many things it’s the big picture that counts: eat nutritious whole food, avoid processed food, get ample exercise and sleep, and get good advice.

Keys to an Injury-Free Summer
Julia Pilliar (Certified Kinesiologist)
1. Pre-condition and start gradually.
Begin doing the exact movements you will be doing during your sport at least a month before actually playing. Give your body a chance to gradually adapt early in the season, especially as the environment (temperature) changes.
2. Warm-up before each game. Stretch AFTER.
Every time take 3-5 minutes before beginning to get your muscles, tendons, and ligaments ready for action by performing full body movements such as squats, jogging on the spot, or easy skipping. Shoulder rolls and arm circles are great to warm-up the shoulders.
3. Listen to your body.
If something doesn‟t feel right, don‟t force it. If you feel that you have „tweaked‟ a muscle or joint, give it enough time to rest. Would you rather miss one game or the rest of the season?
4. Use proper, well-fitted equipment.
Paying less for something that doesn‟t quite fit can make all the difference when it comes to sports injuries. Ensure all of your equipment fits you to prevent muscle imbalances and unnecessary wear and tear on joints and soft tissues. Orthotics can ensure that your feet are taken care of, which will help to protect the rest of your joints, bones, and muscles.
5. Avoid being a „Weekend Warrior‟.
Continue training during your season, especially if you engage in sport only one or two days per week. Keep your body active by exercising regularly. This will help prevent injuries as your body will be used to activity.
LOCAL FOOD: Healthier You, Healthier Planet!
Sarah Dobec (Registered Holistic Nutritionist)
In our current food system, we spend 15 calories of energy to make 1 calorie worth of food energy. This is due to the amount of food we import around the world and the fossil fuels required to produce food, as well as pesticides. It seems unnecessary to import apples from New Zealand when we can grow them right here in Ontario!
We have become accustomed to having what we want, when we want it; and this has a huge impact on the health of the planet and the local economy. By supporting local growers you reduce „food miles‟, you eat healthier food and you boost your local economy. We could create 50 000 jobs in Ontario if we ate like we did in 1970.
If the LOCAL FOOD MOVEMENT interests you, come learn more at the July 30th Fiver Friday. Also, to visit a local farm, join us on a FIELD TRIP this summer.

Allowing Yourself to Relax
Paul Lara (Reiki Master, Tai Chi Instructor)
Are you having difficulty relaxing? Is your mind overwhelmed with so many thoughts that you simply can‟t find the time to relax?
In today‟s fast-paced, “app” crazy environment, you are not alone. Most of us find that even when we are trying to relax; our mind is still running all over the place with possibilities that leave our bodies feeling tense and fidgety. Our inability to relax our bodies and our minds is a result of never taking the time to restore our energetic reservoir.
What we require is balance. Activity followed by inactivity, and vice versa. We can‟t be firing on all cylinders all the time. We need the time to reflect calmly and quietly. Our cell phones follow this principle - it‟s time we do as well.
Relieving the body of habitual tension and discomfort requires that we first relax the mind: A soft relaxed body is only achieved through a calm, quiet mind.
Reiki treatments are ideal for those looking to bring balance back to the mind and body. This gentle technique, utilizes acupressure techniques to help release energy blockages within the meridians.
Oftentimes, patients find that this style is also highly effective for relaxing tense muscles that have seized up due to injury or stress. Many (including, recently, Dr. Oz) have noted its usefulness in addressing a wide variety of stressors and illnesses, such as digestive difficulties, insomnia and restlessness, depression, physical injury/trauma, headaches and emotional discomfort, stress disorders, and neurological conditions.
By promoting effective circulation, Reiki will leave you feeling recharged, relaxed and calmly present.
FIVER FRIDAYS

LIFEWISE WALKING CLUB
The Lifewise Walking Club is now underway! Join us weekly to get some fresh air, work your muscles, reduce stress and enhance your mood! New moms (even dad’s) you’re invited too! Walking with your stroller is a great way to socialize and meet other parents in your neighbourhood (and the motion of the stroller is often a great way to calm your fussy newborn).
There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions about health and fitness and learn exercises to tone your whole body using nothing more than yourself and your stroller.
We hope you’re all taking advantage of the nice weather by going out for walks, cycling, playing tennis, golf, soccer, etc. Remember to do a good warm-up, stretch, put on some sunscreen (paraben free) and drink lots of good clean water.
