With summer upon us, most of us are eager to get outside and enjoy the sunshine at last. However, as we all know very well, sunburn poses a serious threat in the summer months. While the immediate effects of minor pain and redness are merely temporary, your risk of skin cancer increases drastically with each sunburn, as does your likelihood of getting wrinkles and an uneven complexion. To protect yourself from the sun, go for a natural fix.

Dr. Christopher Calapai, D.O., a New York City Osteopathic Physician board-certified in family and anti-aging medicine, suggests the following natural solutions to relish the sunshine without sacrificing your wellbeing:

 

  1. Pay attention to the timing of your sun exposure

Peak sunburn hours are around 11:00-2:00 (or more broadly, 10:00-4:00), so if you’re planning on spending a prolonged period of time outdoors, aim to do so earlier or later in the day than this time frame. Additionally, limiting your time in the sun is beneficial, as people of all skin complexions can absorb maximum vitamin D from the sun within an hour, and for fair-skinned people it can take as little as 10 minutes. Smaller segments of time in the sun will decrease risk of burn. Plus, as your skin gets darker over the summer through short increments, your skin will acquire an increased tolerance to the sun’s rays and you will be able to spend more time in the sun sans damage.

 

  1. Defend your skin from the inside out

Many people do not know that what you eat has a massive impact on your skin’s reaction to sunshine. Build up reserves of powerful antioxidants in your body with a varied, healthy diet in the warm months. Green tea, tomatoes, red wine, fatty fish like salmon, almonds, citrus fruits, and greens all contain vitamins and antioxidant phytochemicals that can support the skin’s response to UV rays and greatly impede skin damage. As a general guideline, focus on colorful, whole foods and avoid refined oils and processed foods to maximize the skin’s response to the sun.

 

  1. Keep your skin moisturized prior to sun exposure

Hydrated skin is healthy skin. Apply moisturizer before going outside in the sun to make sure your skin is in its most prime state to defend itself and not get dry, red, and damaged. Keep in mind, moisturizer is not enough in itself to prevent skin damage, but as an added measure, it can be very effective.

 

  1. Check your medications

Many common medications, both prescription and OTC, can increase your skin’s susceptibility to irritation and damage from the sun. These include, painkillers like ibuprofen, antibiotics, antidepressants, and acne medications, among others. Check your medication’s labels to ensure that it is safe to be in the sun while on them.

 

  1. Consider wearing light clothing

You do not need to have all of your skin exposed to enjoy the summer’s warmth and sunshine. Wearing loose clothing made with light fabrics like cotton or linen protects the skin from damage while allowing you to stay cool. Don’t forget your sunglasses, and you can enjoy the sun in comfort, style, and great health.

 

  1. If you do want to use an over-the-counter sunscreen, go for a mineral-based one, rather than a chemical-based one.

Mineral-based sunscreens include those that are zinc oxide- or titanium dioxide-based. These reflect, rather than absorb, the sunlight and seem to be safer than their chemical-based counterparts. As a rule of thumb, 15-30 SPF is as much protection as you need. Furthermore, the more familiar the ingredients are in your sunscreen, the better it probably is for your skin. Look for ones enriched with vitamins, natural extracts, and other antioxidants. These can greatly improve your skin’s response to potential UV damage.

Swim spas making a splash with homeowners this summer

Swimmers can get a workout year-round or just relax in Arctic Spas’ Arctic Ocean model

TORONTO, ON – A growing number of homeowners are taking the plunge into swim spas that can be used year-round — even in Canada’s notoriously long-cold winters — over traditional backyard pools.

 

So, what exactly is a swim spa? Think of a hot tub — plenty of soothing, warm water and a lot of powerful jets – but then stretch the tub out lengthwise. Unlike their smaller, square-shaped hot tub cousins, swim spas are rectangular, giving bathers enough room to extend their arms and legs while swimming in place.

 

“We’ve seen a lot more interest in swim spas over the past few years from homeowners who want to enjoy the fun and fitness aspects of going for a swim, but don’t want the expense or headaches of a major construction project to install a full-size pool,” says Philip Edey, General Manager of Arctic Spas.

 

Installation of Arctic Spas’ line of custom-built swim spas does not require any digging, construction or special equipment. It simply gets put in place with a crane and is ready to be filled with water and run. The pools are also extremely energy efficient, costing about $2 a day to operate and are exceptionally low maintenance because of their advanced control technology.

 

The most popular of the company’s six swim spa models is the Arctic Ocean Family Fun and Fitness Spa, measuring just under five metres in length. In addition to all of the features of a hot tub, it also has counter swim jets, resistance tether options for advanced swimming and fastener points to attach additional exercise equipment.

 

When the swimming and exercise is over, the six-seat Arctic Ocean has room for several bathers to relax and unwind at the same time. It comes in three different configurations with 30, 45 or 61 therapeutic jets.

 

The core design is virtually identical to Arctic Spas’ hot tubs, including a durable fiberglass shell with a lifetime warranty.

New poll: Dementia ranks as Ontarians' top concern as they age

 

TORONTO, July 19, 2018 /CNW/ - When it comes to aging, 67 per cent of Ontarians say dementia or cognitive decline is a top concern according to a new online poll from CARP and the Alzheimer Society of Ontario.

Conducted in May, the poll asked 1,000 CARP members (generally aged 50 and older), with and without a connection to the condition, about their concerns as they age and whether they feel there are adequate social and health-care resources in place to meet the needs of Ontarians living with dementia and their care partners.

In fact, an overwhelming 97 per cent of participants say it's important for the government to invest in a provincial dementia strategy to tackle the increasing challenges faced by Ontarians with dementia and their families. In just two short years, more than a quarter of a million Ontarians will be have some form of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. And while dementia is not a natural part of aging, the risk factor doubles every five years after 65.

"Based on these findings, it's clear that our CARP members and Ontarians in general view dementia as an urgent issue," says Laura Tamblyn Watts, National Director of Law, Policy and Research at CARP. "That's why we're committed to working with the provincial government, with our partners like the Alzheimer Society of Ontario, and with all Ontarians to ensure the dementia strategy is fully funded to address the needs of Ontarians impacted by this condition."

Survey results show that families impacted by dementia need more support.  Less than 20 per cent of respondents who were diagnosed with dementia or caring for someone with the condition felt they were getting the support they need.

Access to services, care and support also ranked high among respondents' concerns:

  • Over 99 per cent think it's important for people impacted by dementia to have help connecting to information, care and services
  • More than 99 per cent think that adult day programs, in-home care and other respite options for care partners is important

"Our poll validates what we already know, that our province is not prepared to deal with the increasing impact of dementia on our friends, families and communities.  These results will help inform investment into dementia care and supports in Ontario to help people with dementia and their care partners live the best quality of life possible.  We need a dementia strategy that is sustainable for the long term," says Lisa Salapatek, Chief Program Officer at the Alzheimer Society of Ontario.

Rouge Park: Escape to Downtown Markham's Urban Wilderness

A Red Fox emerges from its den as a Bald Eagle swoops overhead, landing on a large cedar. Laughter erupts from the occupants of a distant canoe as a family of cyclists roar by, startling a busy Beaver.

This isn’t an excerpt from the latest in the growing literary field of Eco-fiction. It’s just another day on the trails in Downtown Markham’s Rouge Park.

You don’t need to go up north to get a taste of Canada’s wild side: you just need to go to Markham. Downtown Markham—the Remington Group’s award-winning property for all things retail, residential and commercial—shares 72 acres of Greenspace with Rouge Park, North America’s largest Urban Park. With over 1000 species of plants, 40 species of mammal, and 261 varieties of bird, Rouge Park boasts some of the best biodiversity in Canada. Its varied assortment of bluffs, wetlands, and woodland make it the perfect venue for a day’s excursion. Whether you’re hiking the trails or paddling the canals, Rouge Park brings the great outdoors to your GTA doorstep.

If you’re thinking about taking your family to the Park for a day of fun, there’s no better launch point than Downtown Markham. With a plethora of dining and recreation options and proximity to the trails, it’s the perfect place to grab a bite and a movie before (or after) your adventure.

Simple Steps To Help Prevent Progression Of Dementia And Alzheimer's

Chattanooga, TN, July 18, 2018 ― Dr. Timothy R. Jennings speaks expertly on a subject that concerns over 5.5 million people across the nation: how to prevent dementia and keep our mind sharp as we age. A psychiatrist and international speaker, Jennings introduces his new book, recently rated #1 by Amazon in books on dementia, The Aging Brain: Proven Steps to Prevent Dementia and Sharpen Your Mind.

Dr. Jennings prescribes simple, everyday actions we can take to stave off disease, promote vitality, and prevent dementia and late-onset Alzheimer's. "The choices we make now can help us to keep our minds sharp and maintain our independence as we age,” says Jennings.

An easy-to-use guide to maintaining brain and body health throughout life, The Aging Brain is based on solid, up-to-date scientific research, and the interventions discussed may help prevent progression toward dementia, even in those already showing signs of mild cognitive impairment. The recommendations also may help reduce disability and depression.

"This book isn't just for people hoping to slow the aging process,” says Jennings. "It's also for anyone who is a caregiver to someone at risk of or already beginning to suffer from dementia. It offers a hopeful, healthy way forward.”

Jennings, who maintains a private practice in Chattanooga, TN, has authored several books, including The God-Shaped Brain and The God-Shaped Heart. He is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and Fellow of the Southern Psychiatric Association, and is president and founder of Come and Reason Ministries.

10 Things You Should Know About Figure Prep

  1. You have to sacrifice your time and energy and focus it into your prep.
  2. It is expensive - make sure you can afford it first.
  3. You will cry - sometimes uncontrollably for no reason, sometimes happy tears and sometimes sad and frustration tears.
  4. Expect to be hungry - you just have to deal with it.
  5. Expect to be tired -naps will be your best friend.
  6. Sometimes you feel like shit and others youre on top of the world - Get it done no matter what.
  7. You will never see yourself objectively so get a coach - don't assess yourself because it is hard to see your own progress.
  8. It is an emotional rollercoaster - find coping mechanism that are not related to food.
  9. Nothing is guaranteed no matter how hard you work - so dont get caught up on placings or sour that things did not go in your favour.
  10. Be selfish and focus on yourself. Don't let others rain on your personal goal parade - Remember it was and is your decision to do a show. Don't expect the people around you to change their lives just for you, don't expect them to all support you.

No matter what you should enjoy the process and if you don't and spend the entire time miserable or complaining YOU SHOULD NOT BE DOING THE SHOW. It is hard. It will be challenging. It will test you. Mentality is the hardest part of it. Obviously this is just my opinion based on my experience.

And no I haven't always been perfect during a prep. I have moments of weaknesses, self doubt...quite frankly at times I have been so hard on myself that I was super negative. But I have learned so much from every prep. I have learned about myself, others and the process and I keep getting better. I love the journey and the challenges it brings. It will only make me a better person in the long run.

And If you ever want to look in on my preps I document as much as I can on my youtube channel:

Panther Medical Canada Inc. Opens in Canada Bringing State of the Art, Clinically Proven, Economically Viable Laparoscopic Surgical Solutions, while Saving Tax Payers Millions in Health Care Costs

 

AJAX, ON, July 18, 2018 /CNW/ - Surgical Staplers are used in surgical procedures in place of sutures to close tissue in surgical wounds. The use of staples over sutures reduces local inflammatory response, width of the wound, and the time it takes to close. This reduces patient tissue trauma by minimizing tissue handling and heals as reliably as conventional sutures.

Up until now, Canada's open and laparoscopic surgical stapler market has had only two Health Canada licensed stapler suppliers, Medtronic and Johnson & Johnson / Ethicon Endo-Surgery, who have both providing products with small variances in selection and value, to patients, surgeons, surgical teams, hospitals and healthcare payers.

Ontario based Panther Medical Canada Inc. has obtained Health Canada License for the Panther® line of open and endoscopic surgical staplers and plans to deliver increased competition and significant value and savings into this duopoly market and thereby help Canadian Healthcare Providers and Payers by delivering high levels of quality, service and missing economic value to the surgical community.

Panther Medical Canada offers a full range high quality surgical stapling products as used in Gastric, Digestive, Bariatric, Esophageal, Pancreatic, Gynecological and Thoracic surgical procedures, and plans to invest in Canadian robust surgical team training and surgical procedure research and development activities. By partnering with Canadian surgeons, nurses, researchers and payers in training, innovation, research and development and by delivering millions of dollars in missing economic value and efficiencies back to Canadian Healthcare Payers, Panther Medical Canada will improve the lives and the economic relief of Canada's health system and tax payers.

About Panther Medical Canada Inc.
Panther Medical Canada Inc is a welcome addition to the Canadian Healthcare Supplier Landscape. It is an example of Canadian Entrepreneurs looking to reshape healthcare delivery in a few short years.

The series will cover a variety of mealtime recipes for breakfast, lunch, on-the-go snacks, and dinner. Each month, a new video will be released on Hamilton Beach Brands Canada’s social platforms.

Each video was produced using only the most nutritious ingredients and easy preparation techniques. From breakfast smoothies and a vegan cream sauce to a new take on the grilled cheese and repurposing healthy holiday leftovers, the already-engaged Hamilton Beach community will be inspired to think differently about meal prep.

 

“I had so much fun creating the recipes for the Hamilton Beach team,” added Malisani. “Expect family-friendly food and fun with ingredients that are in your fridge and cupboard right now.
