Ingredients: 1 ½ cup almond flour (packed), 2 tbsp maple syrup, 3 tbsp melted coconut oil. Optional: ¼ tsp salt, ½ tsp vanilla extract, ½ tsp almond extract. Directions: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium-size mixing bowl, add all the ingredients. Squeeze the dough with your hands to bring ingredients together. If too wet, you can add more almond flour. Scoop the dough with a measuring tablespoon and roll it into a ball. Use a fork to flatten each cookie. The thinner, the crispier they will be. Bake for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden and slightly hard on top.

What is Holistic Dentistry?
In holistic dentistry, the mouth is viewed as an integral part of the digestive tract, which is crucial to overall health. A holistic dentistry practitioner takes time to educate patients on key nutrients for systemic and emotional health, the importance of restful oxygenated sleep and proper digestion, and the dangers of infected teeth and gum inflammation. Specialized technology is used in holistic dentistry, such as PRF, ozone, lasers and CBCT imaging, to properly diagnose and manage disease. In addition, only biocompatible materials are used, as opposed to ‘tolerable’ ones such as BPA-free composites, zirconia, and no amalgam silver fillings.

Try Cross-Country Skiing!
Are you looking forward to trying a new sport this winter? Cross-country skiing is a fantastic aerobic activity that builds endurance and burns calories. You don’t have the helping hand of gravity carrying you down a slope, so it’s up to your upper and lower body muscle groups to keep you moving forward. This keeps your heart rate up and oxygen-rich blood pumping through your body. When trying a new activity, start off slowly so you don’t risk a sprain or strain. If you are feeling any pain after trying a new winter sport, talk to your physiotherapist so that a small injury doesn’t turn into something worse.
