Eating Healthy on a Budget
The cost of groceries is rising, making it more difficult to pick the food that we think is healthy. Healthy food can be quite affordable. Focus on incorporating more frozen fruits and veggies and dried bulk legumes and grains into your diet. These can come with a lower initial price tag as well as a longer shelf life, resulting in less food spoilage. Incorporate meat and fish by looking for less expensive cuts. Make stock from the bones of the chicken you had last night, or use stew meat, veggies, and spices to flavour a large batch of soup.
Are Your Vaccines Up to Date?
Spring boosters for COVID-19 are now available. This is also a great time to update vaccination schedules for travel, pneumonia, shingles, and more.

Individuals most at risk are: * people over 65 or under 5; * pregnant women; * residents of long-term care facilities; and * people with chronic diseases such as diabetes. Please book online to choose the day and time that will work for you to come in for your COVID-19 and additional important vaccines.
Is Travel in Your Future?
This is the time of year when many of us travel. If you are travelling, travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and interruptions is highly recommended, especially for seniors. A medical emergency in a foreign country and a hospital stay can easily cost $100,000 or more. If you get sick and can’t travel home from your destination, trip interruption insurance will cover your costs while you recover. If you become ill before you travel, trip cancellation insurance will reimburse travel costs. Travel insurance buys peace of mind. We wish you happy and safe travels.
Nutritional Insecurity
“I always find that as the weather changes, I move from eating lots of soups and winter roots to lighter fruit and vegetables. However, sometimes it is hard to get my hands on my favourite healthy foods, and I wind up eating the stuff that is easier at hand and faster to prepare.” Does this sound familiar? For approximately one-third of seniors in Canada, factors including ease of access, cooking time, mobility, loneliness, and more contribute to nutritional insecurity. Comfort Keepers caregivers can help you shop, prepare, and enjoy healthy home-cooked meals! Contact us.
