Eating locally isn’t just good for your health—it’s great for your wallet and your community too! Choosing local produce means you’re getting fruits and vegetables at their peak ripeness. This means they’re packed with more nutrients and taste far better. Prices on local produce are often lower than those brought in from other countries, which saves you money and supports nearby farmers and businesses. It’s a win-win situation!

Meal Planning can be daunting when you think of everything you must do to prepare and plan. Breaking things down into steps is a helpful way to organize your thoughts and come up with a solid plan.

Meal Planning
✅Take inventory: Note what you have in your fridge/pantry that can be used.
📅Make a schedule: Remember to take into account leftovers & eating out
📖Select recipes: Don’t pick too many to start! Choose a reasonable amount and remember you can repeat your favourites!
🛒Make your shopping list: Check local ads and apps for sales that can align with the ingredients for your recipes
🍽Assign days: Plan your meals for specific days but make it flexible so you can change if needed

How to stick to your plan
⭐Put your menu in a highly visible place
⭐Prep what you can in advance (chopping veggies, marinating, etc.)
⭐Have back up plans in case things change
⭐Compile a list of your favourite or go-to recipes
⭐Plan around your schedule & lifestyle so that it fits what works for you and your family

True relaxation begins with your nervous system. Your nervous system can be dysregulated for many reasons including chronic stress, trauma, lifestyle and your environment.

Physical Signs of dysregulation
🥱Fatigue
💤Disrupted Sleep
🍽Changes in digestion
❤Heart Rate Changes
😣Postural Tension
🚨Sensory Sensitivity

Emotional/Cognitive Signs
😖Stress
😨Anxiety
😡Irritability
😵‍💫Brain Fog
😧Trouble Concentrating

While chiropractic does not replace other medical guidance, it is a great companion. Chiropractors look for patterns through your history, exams and scan data to better understand nervous system dysregulation.

It’s that time of year again! It’s time to get the kids ready for back to school. We’re here to remind you to choose the right backpack to keep from putting extra strain on their small bodies. A poor fitting or heavy backpack can lead to neck and back strain and could exacerbate other conditions, like scoliosis or headaches.

Here are a few tips when picking out a backpack:
1) Pick one that has wide, adjustable straps. Be on the lookout for packs that have some padding on both the straps and the back.
2) When packing your backpack, pack only what you need and evenly distribute the weight. Heavier items should be closer to your back and odd-shaped items should not.
3) The weight of the backpack should not exceed 10% of your child's body weight.
4) Make sure they use BOTH shoulder straps. Adjust the straps so that the bag fits snugly against your back.

With prices only seeming to go up for everything these days, you need ways to stretch your dollar and make sure you are spending money where it counts!

Here are a few tips to help with grocery costs:
⭐️Plan your meals: This makes shopping more efficient and has you stick to a list
⭐Buy in season produce: In season produce is typically cheaper
⭐Buy frozen produce: Can be a good alternative for fruits and vegetables, especially when cooking them
⭐Buy certain products in bulk: This applies to non-perishables and items with a long shelf life
⭐Shop smart (sales, coupons, etc.): Make sure to check stores, flyers and apps for deals
⭐Stock up during sales: For frequently used items and non-perishables, this helps cut cost in the future
⭐Cook large batches & freeze: Cuts down on both cost and food waste

Today is National Book Lover’s Day! 📖 Reading is a relaxing hobby that can transport you to different worlds or have you learning something new.

What we often don’t think about while reading is proper posture to reduce the strain on your neck, shoulders and arms. Here are a few tips to use when reading to prevent those strains:

1. Have your back resting firmly against your seat.
2. Keep your neck straight and aligned with your shoulders. Try not to bend your neck more than 10-20 degrees.
3. Bring your book or tablet/e-reader up to eye level using a cushion or stand that you can also rest your arms on.
4. Take a break to walk or stretch every 20-30 minutes.
