Having good posture makes you look strong and healthy and it’s also a critical factor in preventing pain and injuries. For recreational activities like golf, skating, yoga or running, posture actually plays an important role in performance. Posture is critical in preventing workplace injuries that come from repetitive stress or sitting at a desk in front of a computer all day. Physiotherapists can help you discover how to improve your posture by demonstrating positions and stretches for when you start to feel the tension in your body. Make the move to see a physiotherapist!

A healthy scalp is the foundation of great hair. Regularly cleansing with a gentle shampoo removes excess oil and buildup, preventing clogged follicles.

Choosing the Right Foods for Men Over 40
For men over 40 looking to lose weight and improve health, focusing on high-fat foods can be beneficial. Fats provide 9 calories per gram and do not significantly impact insulin levels. Reducing insulin secretion is key to weight loss. Consuming the right fats enhances energy production and promotes hormonal balance, allowing the body to use stored fat for energy. Include these fats: extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, flax oil, hemp seed oil, avocados, salted butter, high-fat whipping cream, and salmon.

By addressing and synchronizing your beliefs, B.E.S.T. promotes better health and well-being.
