Paul and I have had our first shot of the Pfizer about a month ago and are not suppose to get our second shot until July according to the BC health officials. Thankfully neither of us had any adverse reactions from the vaccine, but we have heard of people who have. People of varying ages […]

Magnesium
I have posted about this mineral before but it’s always worth a refresher on the topic. Every evening in my after dinner ginger tea I add a serving of “Calm”, a powdered, unflavored magnesium supplement. The ginger tea is healthy in and of it’s self but adding a scoop of magnesium powder ups the nutritional […]
Should I drink cold water?
This is the question of the day. Should I drink ice cold water or should I drink room temperature or warm water. Which is best for my system? I have always preferred room temperature water myself. There are scientific reasons why you should be mindful of the temperature of your drinking water according to “The […]
Nap Time!
My Mom recently shared an article with me about the benefits of napping. I’m not a napper but there are days when I wish I was able to curl up on the couch for a nap. I know others who can take in a 20 minute power nap during the course of their day and […]
Sugar and Heart Disease
This post is as much a “REFRESHER” for me as it is an informative bit of information for my readers. During Covid-19 I have been leaning into more sugary treats. I’m not alone when I confess this. Sugar is a “comfort” food that is easy to love and get hooked on. It’s basically a drug. […]
A Food Refresher! What not to eat…
I don’t know about you but during this “COVID-19” time I’ve kind of let my guard down a bit in the “nutrition” end of things. I’m being very careful in all of the other ways to avoid Covid but we’ve been a little free spirited with our diets. I believe this is because we are […]
Is it ignorance or fear?
Why are there people out there who don’t seem to care one little bit about COVID-19? They seem to be oblivious to the fact that our world, the entire world is in the middle of a very serious “pandemic”. It angers me when I watch some Canadian news stories, but mostly I see it in […]
Covid Vaccine
Will you allow your doctor to stick this “quick to market” Covid vaccine in your arm? I’m not quite sure I will. I feel that I will have to wait it out to see how it stacks up in the millions of people who will line up and allow it to be injected into their […]
Coping
We are definitely living in a time of “high anxiety” and “uncertainty” both in economics and health. Never before, in my lifetime, and I’m just shy of 60, have I ever had to think twice before heading out the door to do even the simplest of chores. We go through a checklist when we head […]
Food and Covid
I just read a very informative article by my health guru, Dr. Mercola, regarding how foods can influence your risk of dying from Covid. The big food highlighted in this article is “fermented food”. Things like Kim Chi which is fermented vegetables, sauerkraut, Yogurt, kefir, miso, tempeh, kombucha are what is considered fermented foods. Apparently […]
