inspiration

for your family movie nights this holiday season

M

ovie nights make for the best evenings, especially with family.

But as the weather cools down and movie nights tend to get more frequent, keep things fun and fresh by upping your game and create memorable experiences.

Here are a few ideas:

movie marathon

This year it’s more important than ever to start new family traditions and create fun within the home. To get into the festive spirit, plan to watch movies for each of the 10 nights leading up to Christmas.

Have each member of the family suggest a couple of options so everyone can enjoy.

snacks

We can’t have movie nights without popcorn. Whether it’s straight out of the bag or used in creative recipes, it’s definitely a movienight staple. Whether microwaveable, ready-to-eat or starting from scratch with kernels, there’s truly something for everyone from Orville Redenbacher. It’s also a snack the family can feel good about, with their microwaveable and kernels popcorn having absolutely no

artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Purchase any two products from Orville Redenbacher and you’ll get a personal popcorn bowl to enjoy with your movie night.

movie trivia

Spice things up a little bit by challenging your family to movie trivia.

This game is a fun and different way to spend some of your holiday evenings together. During one (or all) of your movie nights as a family, have each person write down some questions throughout the movie.

Afterwards, keep score of who gets most of the questions right. ■ — News Canada

If you’re experiencing financial stress, contact your financial institution. They may be able to offer mortgage relief. That could include delaying your mortgage payments for a defined period of time or extending your amortization period.

the holiday season and annual parties are just around the corner

gifts. Wherever possible, put a personalized spin on things.

And rather than having to buy gifts for all of your friends and family, encourage them to join in on Secret Santa exchanges.

party planning

charitable giving

Instead of meeting friends at a restaurant or bar, consider hosting a lowkey potluck at home. You could even set up a rotation schedule for hosting key holidays throughout the year.

dress for success

Tired of wearing the same outfit to every party every year? Rather than paying full retail price, try thrifting or shopping at a consignment store. If you need a one-time fancy outfit, consider a dress or suit rental company.

gifts from the heart

Are you a painter, knitter, or have some other crafting hobby? If so, rather than buying presents for friends and family, make your own

There’s always a big push to make charitable donations over the holiday season. If you are able to donate to a registered charity, you’ll get a receipt that will earn you an income tax deduction in the spring.

set a budget

The only way you’ll know how much money you’re spending is to create a budget that tracks all of your expenses, big and small. Yet less than half of all Canadians have a budget.

ABC Life Literacy Canada’s Money Matters program can show you how to create one. The program also offers other free money management resources, including workbooks, activities and workshops. Learn more at abcmoneymatters.ca. ■ — News Canada

the connection between

eating and energy T

he connection between energy and eating is significant.

A healthy diet and approach to eating can vastly improve energy levels, while a poorly planned diet that lacks nutrition can contribute to feelings of fatigue and increase a person’s risk for various ailments.

The Harvard Medical School notes that different kinds of foods are converted to energy at different rates. That’s why some foods, such as candy, provide quick boosts of energy while foods such as whole grains tend to supply the body with energy reserves that it can draw on throughout the day.

It’s not just what people eat but how they eat that can affect their energy levels. In addition to choosing the right foods, men and women can try the following strategies as they look to eat to boost their energy levels.

• Eat smaller, more frequent meals.

Avoiding the traditional threemeals-per-day approach may help improve energy levels, especially for people who tend to eat sizable meals once, twice or even three times every day. According to the Cleveland Clinic, the metabolisms of people who do not eat regularly will slow down, as the body absorbs and stores more of the food it eats.

Those stores include cholesterol and fat, which can be unhealthy and contribute to weight gain.

However, by eating small meals more frequently, one’s metabolism speeds up and more calories are burned. The body recognizes more food is soon on the way

4Rent.ca

November 4–18, 2023

and, as a result, it does not need to store as much cholesterol and fat as it would if meals were eaten less frequently.

• Avoid a big lunch. The Harvard Medical School notes that, while the reasons are unclear, research has indicated that the circadian rhythms of people who eat big lunches indicate a more significant drop in afternoon energy levels than the rhythms of people who eat smaller midday meals.

Men and women who eat big lunches and find their energy levels waning later in the workday can try to eat smaller midday meals to boost their energy.

• Be careful with caffeine. The foods people eat are not the only components of their diet that can affect their energy levels. Caffeinated beverages can provide a temporary boost of energy as well. However, men and women who drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages to boost their energy levels should avoid doing

so in large amounts after 2 p.m.

That’s because caffeine can cause insomnia, and insufficient sleep can dramatically affect energy levels.

• Choose the right snacks. Eating smaller, more frequent meals may compel some people to snack. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics notes that snacks are important as long as they’re the right snacks. Avoid snacks that are just empty calories in favor of foods that contain protein and fiberrich carbohydrates. Such snacks, which may include fruits such as apples and fresh berries or protein sources like nuts and Greek yogurt, can provide lasting energy. It’s also important that men and women not snack to fill themselves up, but rather to quell any hunger pangs and get an energy boost between meals.

The foods people eat and when they eat them can have a dramatic impact on their energy levels. ■ — Metro Creative

4 simple and affordable ways to

stay healthy this fall N

o one wants the discomfort – let alone the hassle – that comes with catching a cold or other illness. But you don’t have to shell out for expensive remedies or shots of ginger or kale smoothies every day to support your immune system or stay healthy. Here are a few affordable steps you can take to safeguard your health.

4Rent.ca November 4–18, 2023

have a laugh

Stress is a major contributor to why and when we get sick. It taxes the immune system and makes it harder to fight off infections. Growing research points to laughter as a powerful medicine that helps reduce stress, lower blood pressure and improve your mood. When we laugh, our body brings in extra oxygen, which lowers our heart rate and

stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system – the opposite of fightor-flight mode. Basically, it’s like taking deep breaths to calm yourself down, but more enjoyable.

drink up

Staying hydrated is an important tool to keep your body working at its best, especially if you think you might be coming down

get some shut-eye

with something. Water is recommended as best. But as the days cool off a soothing cup of mint, lemon, ginger or fennel tea, may give you a low-cost boost of vitamin C and antioxidants in addition to warmth and a calming, comforting flavour. Stashing a box of teabags at the office or in your kitchen cupboards means they’ll be within easy reach when you need them.

Sleep is like the ultimate no-cost wellness hack, allowing your body to reset and restore itself overnight.

Experts generally recommend adults get six to nine hours of sleep a night, but exactly how much each person needs is different. Research also suggests that waking and going to sleep at roughly the same time every day will improve your quality of sleep.

Alternatively, a slightly cool room is thought to provide a less disturbed, more restful sleep – so it’s smart to turn down the thermostat a little at night.

get your shots

Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent the flu and the seri-

HEALTH

ous complications you can get from it. And, of course, costs associated with receiving the flu shot are covered by provincial health insurance plans in Canada. This year, you can get the flu shot at the same time as your dose of the latest approved COVID-19 vaccine. In fact, that’s what’s recommended by Health Canada. While it’s never too late to get them, the sooner the better so that your body can build up immunity before the season peaks.

You can get your flu vaccine and COVID-19 shot at most local pharmacies, including Rexall. You can walk in or book an appointment online at rexall.ca/flu. ■ — News Canada November 4–18, 2023

Under no circumstances should you place your dog in the back of a moving truck. Even safely tucked in a well-ventilated pet travel carrier, the truck is almost always hot (even in winter) and of course, the doors are closed.

Dogs crave the attention of strangers and can create obstacles which will impede the move.

7. pack lots of treats

Have dog treats on hand for move day to keep him or her quiet. It’s also good way to get your dog to listen and obey. And, it’s a great idea to have water and nutritious human treats for your movers as well.

6. pack a separate box of your pet’s toys

Once at your new home, your dog may be frightened of the new surroundings, so, having familiar playthings ready will reduce stress levels.

the best way to get your dog ready, more relaxed and calm for when the movers arrive. Depending on your dog’s age and size, draining his or her energy level may not be easy, so plan frequent walks. I know that a 30-minute walk barely makes a dent in our dog’s energy level.

2. use “mess” breaks

Make sure you let your pet out for “mess” breaks. Nothing will ruin your moving day experience more than a ‘surprise’ from your dog inside your new abode. Keep him or her on your property to avoid making a bad first impression on your neighbours.

Also, there are movers that are allergic to dogs.

9. make a doggy date

4. don’t ignore them

8. give them space

3. keep them hydrated

Your dog will most likely want to play with the movers and probably everyone else, so take him or her to a kennel, dog spa or have a friend or relative dog sit at their home, before the movers arrive. Those will be the best places for your furry friend; then you can devote your total attention to your moving activities.

If your dog must be with you during your move, keep your loved one outside or out of the movers’ way.

After the move you will be busy unpacking, so don’t ignore your dog. Take regular and long walks, if you can, to explore your new neighbourhood together or even short breaks from unpacking, to play.

Time together will help your dog be better behaved during this change in everyone’s environment.

Don’t forget that your dog will be excited on move day and will need plenty of water. Exercise is

Throwing these things in the

EXTRAS

toys don’t belong in the recycling bin. Most communities have specialized depots that collect these items. If your community doesn’t offer this service and the item is in good condition, clean it thoroughly and donate it to a local not-for-profit or a friend.

batteries

Although batteries don’t belong in your municipal recycling bin, they can and should be recycled.

Many batteries contain materials that can be harmful to the environment and wildlife if they end up in landfill, and the salvaged materials from old batteries can be used to manufacture new products like bikes, stainless steel water bottles and small appliances. To recycle your old batteries, Call2Recycle offers convenient battery drop-off locations across Canada.

Optical sorting machines at recycling plants can’t detect black pigment, so they are unable to sort black plastic items. That’s why it’s very important not to place your black

plastic takeout containers in the recycling. Put these containers directly in your garbage.

Paint is considered a hazardous waste material in many provinces and should not be disposed of through the regular waste stream.

But empty paint cans can be recycled in many communities. Check with your municipal recycling depot or local paint store for information on how to dispose of your old paint.

household items

Common household items like pots and pans, drinking glasses and metal and plastic coat hangers should not be placed in recycling bins. If you’re moving or doing a renovation and are getting rid of items in good condition, be sure to donate or sell them. Anything that’s broken or damaged should be put in the garbage.
