Five Ways to
Stay Healthy in 2008
Start
off your New Year with a fresh outlook on your health. Panacea Center
can provide you with various individualized services and treatments to
help you maintain your health and most importantly, prevent illness.
1. Check out the current state of your health
Even though you don’t feel sick, remember to get regular check-ups with
your doctor or health care professional. Regular check-ups help in
monitoring the state of your health and in detecting any potential
problems with your health. One way to monitor your health is by getting
a contact regulation thermography scan, which is a safe, radiation-free,
non-invasive diagnostic exam that uses heat to help identify the
presence of symptoms before illnesses begin.
2. Get involved in fun activities
Winter is a great time to get involved in outdoor activities like
skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, ice skating, and toboganning. For
those interested in indoor activities,
give yoga classes a try, or perhaps martial arts, cardio or dance
classes at a local fitness or community centre to get your heart
pumping.
3. Give your diet a healthy boost
After a dose of holiday feasting, the New Year is a great way to reassess your diet and make reasonable goals for eating healthier. If you have dietary and health concerns you need help addressing, make an appointment with our Naturopathic Doctor who will be glad to help or go for a Live Blood Analysis to learn more about what your blood says about your health.
4. Treat pain and injuries
Do you wait for pain to go away only for it to return days, weeks or
months later? Stay healthy by seeking help to alleviate aches and pains.
By seeking help, some irritating aches and pains can be eliminated with
the proper therapies and treatments. Feel the benefits with reflexology,
chiropractic sessions and structural bodywork sessions.
5. Take time to relax
Ease stress by making time for relaxation. Stress can impact your health by weakening the immune system. After work, take time to reinvigorate and renew your health with the infrared sauna (singles and couples), ozone sauna or electrolytic foot bath.

Feature: Body Impedance Analysis (BIA)
Measurements
Get a Body Composition and nutritional status
analysis
 Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) measurements help estimate body fat percentage and body composition. How does it work? BIA measures the resistance of body tissues to the flow of a small, harmless low-level current. Current flows easier through the body tissues that are composed mostly of water, which is over 70% of our body. Adipose, or fatty tissue, consists of about 20% water. Bioelectrical impedance measures the strength and speed of the electrical current sent through the body (impedance measure). This measurement is then used along with additional data such as height, weight and gender to calculate the percentage of fat tissues out of the whole body mass.
For more information about BIA measurements, contact Panacea Center today!

caregivers are also women.

Less Meat, Less You?
Dr. Sanjay Mohan Ram, BSc (Hon), ND
 Research suggests a little less meat on the plate could mean less bulk on your frame.
In a study, people who consumed few or no animal products were less likely to be overweight or obese than self-identified meat eaters. Make fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes your diet staples.
Plant-based diets containing fruits and vegetables as well as whole grains that are high in fibre, and nutrients that are low in fat and calories may help you lose weight. A recent study suggests that people who classify themselves as vegetarian, semi-vegetarian, or vegan are much less likely to be overweight or obese than meat eaters. However, you don’t need to go completely meatless if that doesn’t suit your lifestyle.
Just choose the appropriate portion sizes and low-fat cooking methods. A serving of meat is equal to 3 ounces, about the size of a deck of playing cards.
If you eat red meat, limit consumption to no more than one serving per week. Also, limit intake of meats high in saturated fat, such as bacon, sausage and fatty cuts of beef.
For a protein fix, opt for low- or non-fat dairy, skinless chicken, nuts, or fish to control saturated fat intake depending on your Food Allergy Testing results. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask us. We are more than happy to assist you.
