Time to give your toenails a break! 👣💅

While it is nice to have pretty toenails, the chemicals in many polishes and removers can damage the nails over time. The good news is that winter is the perfect time to remove the polish (with acetone free remover) and give the toenails a chance to recover! 💕

If you find your toenails look yellow, have white spots on the tops or are dry and flaky, it is a sign they are damaged. After removing the polish, gently buff the nails and apply a nourishing oil to help improve the health and the appearance of the toenails. The oil should be applied every day and the nails should be buffed weekly. 👌

Our Chiropodist, Meredith Cossitt, recommends Gehwol Nailcare to nourish, moisturize and strengthen the nails. 😊

You know it's fall when these beauties are decorating the neighbourhood! 🎃

Adorable as they are on your front porch, pumpkins are also delicious & highly nutritious; so be sure to sneak a few extra home with you to feature in your recipes for the season! 😏

In addition to being excellent sources of gut-healthy fibre, sugar pumpkins and other winter squash are loaded with immune system-boosting nutrients like carotenoids, Vitamin C, and manganese! 😉

Don't forget the seeds - they're excellent sources of zinc, another key player in our immune defences! 👌

A recent study demonstrates omega-3 supplementation
reduces inflammation and improves healing after traumatic brain injury. 🤕

It's the season for baseball, volleyball, and water skiing! It's also time to consider what to do if you hit your head and sustain a concussion! 😬

This study is the most recent in a number of studies that show that highdose omega-3s (fish oil) can hasten recovery and reduce the symptoms of concussion. 🐟

Another recent study indicates that “pre-loading” with fish oil
before head injury can be protective to the brain after sustaining a hit...so if you are a weekend warrior, or if your child plays contact sports, consider a
healthy dose of daily fish oil as “brain protection”, just in case of concussion or head injury. 👌

This beautiful poem was written by one of our patients who is a vibrant 93 year old :)

I'm Still Me - by Pearl Karal

I am no longer all I was,
Or how I used to be
I won't lament what I am now,
Or mourn the discrepancy.

My memory's so unreliable
My gait requires support
My facial features too have changed
The mirror shows how they contort.

My hearing's more apporximate
What I miss is often funny.
My outings and activities
Depend on when it's sunny.

But I'm alive: I think, I plan
There's much I want to know
I'm curious, grateful oft excited
Life has made me so.

I ask myself each day
Am I still Me? Is my life all loss?
In the midst of future uncertainties
There'll be bridges yet to cross
Each day's a gift, a special time
That may not come again
It's up to me to make each count
It will end - I don't know when.

The memories of those who've passed
Bring smiles and gratitude
To all those who brightened life
I say, with certitude:
I treasure each and every day
And welcome what it brings
I'm not what I was in many ways
But still my spirit sings.
