We’ve all heard the saying we are what we eat, but do you know just how much the food we eat affects how we show up in the world? Our bodies and brains function and feel the best when we are providing them with the proper nutritious fuel. When we are eating healthier and providing our body and brain with the proper fuel we not only perform better at work, but in all aspects of our lives. Here are some easy tips to help support healthier eating habits: incorporate more fruits and veggies into your diet, plan your meals and write a grocery list (and stick to the list!), and prepare some meals ahead of time so you have healthy options available for those times when you don’t feel like cooking.

They’re also drug-free, gluten-free, paraben-free, latex-free, hypoallergenic, non-GMO, and certified skin-safe. Patches come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What Do I Do with my Crystal?
If your crystal gives you joy, keep it and use it every day! If you are not going to use it, pawn it off on a family member or give it to a thrift store that donates money to hospices, homeless shelters, or hospitals. It is more hassle than it is worth trying to sell it on your own. Very few people want it. There is so much out there; it seems everyone’s mother had a large collection of crystal, mostly pinwheel. There may be some value in Waterford crystal, so do get an expert’s opinion before disposal.

Downsizing: Sell First or Buy First?
Most owners need to sell to release the equity of their current home to purchase their next home. While the ideal situation is to make an offer “subject to the sale of my home,” market conditions, particularly hot, competitive ones, render this option hopeless. There are several strategies you can employ to successfully downsize, and I’ll be discussing this at our upcoming downsizing seminar. Email Tony at primeteam.ca or call 250-419-7439 to register for this free event.
Regular Denture Care
Dentures should be relined or renewed to maintain optimal fit, comfort, and functionality. Over time, changes in the jawbone structure occur, which can lead to a loose fit of the dentures. Relining involves adding new material to the base of the denture to adapt to these changes and restore a proper fit. Renewal becomes necessary due to wear and tear, which can result in deterioration of the denture’s material, affecting its effectiveness and appearance. Regular relining or renewal ensures that dentures remain snug, comfortable, and functional, allowing wearers to speak, eat, and smile with confidence.
Easy Exercises for Better Health
Seniors with an active lifestyle can see benefits for cardiovascular health, brain function, muscle strength, balance, and mobility. Here are five simple exercises that can be incorporated into your daily routine: *Walking: whether it’s a walk around the block or on a trail or path, it’s important to get up and move. *Water aerobics and swimming are fun ways to exercise gently on the joints. *Toe taps and heel raises are easy exercises while sitting down that encourage blood flow. *Sit to stand: like a squat but much simpler, and it helps strengthen mobility. *Chair Yoga: take a group class with friends or look up a quick YouTube class.
