Take a Stretch Break

Stop what you’re doing and take a stretch break!

Taking stretch breaks at work can help you:
✅ improve your flexibility, leaving your muscles feeling less tense
✅ increase your productivity and a feeling of calm
✅ improve your posture, which reduces back pain
✅ reduces fatigue, by increasing blood supply to your muscles

It’s Mental Health Week

Mental Health Week is organized by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). The campaign aims to educate and shift attitudes and perceptions about mental health. 🧠

This year’s theme is ‘My Story’ – collectively and individually, we have multiple layers and stories that make us who we are. While each year one in five Canadians experience a mental illness or mental health issue, all of us have a state of mental health.

Sharing stories and experiences with each other, especially of difficult times and challenges, can benefit a person’s mental health and help others feel like they are not alone.

If you are looking for someone to talk to, a great place to begin with is your family doctor. They can help connect you with mental health professionals, programs and workshops offered by Big Country Primary Care Network

Spring or Seasonal Allergies

Do you experience spring or seasonal allergies? 🤧
 
As the snow melts, common air contaminants like pollen, grass and mold can stir up allergens. Watch out for common symptoms like watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, runny or stuffy nose, post-nasal drip, sore throat and headache and fatigue.
 
Manage and treat your spring allergies with these tips:
 
🏡 keep your house and car clean and free of dust, and ensure windows stay closed
 
🏔 limit the time you spend outside when pollen counts are high (midday and afternoon)
 
👕 change your clothes after you work or play outside
 
🚿 use a vaporizer or humidifier in the bedroom and take hot showers to help clear a stuffy nose
 
💧 stay hydrated – extra fluids can help to thin the mucus in your nasal passages and encourage sinus drainage
 
💊 use over-the-counter allergy
medicine to help your symptoms
 
👨🏾‍⚕️ ask your doctor or pharmacist for suggestions to eliminate or reduce your allergy symptoms.
