Preparing The Body For The Winter

Winter is yet another excellent season for us Canadians; however, it is also when the risk of falling increases due to ice patches. Although you cannot control mother nature, you can control a few things to help eliminate your risk. 

  1. Avoid icy patches if possible.
  2. Wear ice grips.
  3. Use a cane or walking sticks to help with balance
  4. Salt or sand common walking areas.
  5. Practice good walking techniques when on an icy surface.
  6. Slow down and take your time.

Lastly, you need to prepare your body for these situations by staying fit, which means working on strength, endurance, balance, and reaction time.

Thriving As We Age

In the midst of all the upheaval, anxiety, and unrest of the past year, we have learned that true joy comes from inside and can be nurtured even in the most trying of times. One approach to make sure you get out of bed on the right side of the bed every morning is to start your day with thankfulness in your heart. Gratitude is one of the most powerful emotions because it is both a feeling and an action: you actively consider the things for which you are grateful, which makes you feel grateful.
