FREE SEMINAR SATURDAY MARCH 25th @ 11am-12pm
WHAT WILL BE COVERED:
It is quite accepted that our day-to-day to habits have a profound impact on our health, but what that looks like can get confusing. I will go over what makes up a “healthy lifestyle” beyond just diet and exercise. We will discuss how to individually apply these principles to your life. No medical advice will be provided at the talk; however, you will leave with an idea of where to get started and how to personalize it for yourself [this will make more sense during our talk].
WHERE:
March 25th – Health Centre of Milton – 420 Main St E. Units 102-103. Milton

Coughing, sneezing, congested? Are you tired of getting sick all the time? Do you feel like your immune system needs a little extra love?
Join us at the Health Centre of Milton on Saturday March 18th at 10:30AM to learn about immune health, how to strengthen the immune system and how that may affect eczema. Dr. Sarina will show you how you can better understand your immune system, the causes of your eczema, your body’s immune response to infection and how you can ease these symptoms from home!
During my master’s program we learned about the term ‘Weekend Warriors”. The term was used to describe individuals who work at a sedentary job during the week and then complete physical, heavy tasks on the weekend. These individuals may become injured as their bodies are not used to the increased heavy work. With the nicer spring time weather approaching many people will start to become these ‘weekend warriors’.
Spring time tasks may include yard work which may require raking, bending to pick up sticks and other springtime debris, and prolonged bending to work up ground in flower beds and plant new flowers. Even though I try to be physically active during the week, after a long weekend of spring cleanup of our yard I find my back feels like it had a big work out and may remain sore for a couple days.
Another heavy task may include changing tires of a vehicle from snow tires to regular tires, which includes repetitive bending and heavy lifting. Springtime may also include cleaning the inside and outside of vehicles. This task includes repetitive bending, reaching, and awkward positions.
Luckily my husband always completes the job of climbing onto the roof and cleaning all the leaves out of the eaves troughs, but by the time he is done he tends to mention about pain is his back and knees from being bent over for so long.
Although these tasks need to be completed some things that may help decrease the chance of injury during the task or pain after completion may include: a proper warm up including a short walk and dynamic stretches, and a proper cool down including static stretches once the task has been completed.
So if you think you are strong like a warrior, remember to protect your body from injury and pain before entering the battlefield of a task.
