keep Youth

Hydrated this summer

Eating healthy meals and snacks and staying hydrated by drinking enough fluids are important for good health and sport performance. Drinking enough fluid helps your body to control its temperature. Not having enough fluid (being dehydrated) can increase the risk of injury, lead to low energy and have an impact on performance. Active youth need to drink enough fluid before, during and after exercise to help the body function at its best. Especially keep this in mind on those hot summer days.

Try these simple tips to help your child stay hydrated: * Be a great role model. Have everyone in the family enjoy a glass of water every morning upon awakening. * Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids throughout

* Provide water stations during sport events. * Send your child to school with a water bottle to bring to gym class and to keep at their desk. * Ensure easy access to water fountains. * Make sure your child drinks enough fluid during activity by stopping them for regular water breaks every 15 to 20 minutes. Most children do not need a sports drink during activity.

However, adding fresh fruit or freshly squeezed fruit juice to water bottles can add refreshing flavour and extra nutrients to help hydration. * Encourage fluids after activity is over as well. Water, broths and soups are great options. Miso soup can be a replenishing beverage after activity.

Discourage children from drinking soft drinks, fruit juices, sports drinks and energy drinks. These are higher in sugar (which could cause stomach aches and tooth decay). Some may contain caffeine which can be harmful to children.

ASK

an expert A: With the recent state of fire emergency in the province,

individuals with respiratory problems are at risk of exacerbation of symptoms and respiratory compromise. If you have a pulmonary condition, it is prudent to take measures to support your breathing and the health of your lungs. Of course, the best thing to do is avoid exposure to smoke. Evacuate the area completely if possible. If you are unable to leave the situation, employ the following suggestions: * Stay indoors as much as possible where the air is filtered.

HEPA filters throughout the home would be ideal. * Wear a good quality mask if you must go outside. A simple mask or bandana is better than no mask at all. * Do not exert yourself unnecessarily. If you normally have a daily walk, the extra particulate that is in the air can exacerbate even mild asthma in some individuals. * Avoid wearing perfumes, using room sprays, scented candles, cigarette smoke, etc. All of these things will add to the burden of particulate that is in the air. * Be prepared. If you need emergency medication, having extra supplies like inhalers and oxygen on hand is a good idea. * Stock up on basic supplies to minimize the number of times you must leave your clean air sanctuary.

Signs of pulmonary irritation include coughing or wheezing, scratchy throat, irritated sinuses, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, chest pain, headaches, stinging, burning or watering eyes, a runny nose, nosebleeds and headaches. If you are elderly or have a life-threatening pulmonary condition, do not delay seeking medical attention if you need access to the use of oxygen or other interventions.

Q: “What are some recommendations to keep our lungs healthy with the poor air quality in our region from the wildfires?” * Water. Stay hydrated! Drink water containing electrolytes. * Anthocyanins, or blue and purple pigments from berries, a powerful and wonderful medicine to support the health of our pulmonary function. * Beta-carotene, or the orange and yellows found in carrots, yams, etc. * Lycopene from tomatoes. * Vitamin C from rose hips, saskatoons, camu camu berry, etc. * Vitamin E from sunflower seeds and avocados. * Magnesium from cocoa and green vegetables. * Fruits and vegetables are generally protective. Remember to eat from the rainbow everyday. * Replenish your stores of vitamin A. Vitamin A is found in liver, grass fed butter and free-range eggs. * Omega-3’s from fish and seafood, hemp, chia, flax and grass fed animal products.

(If you are curious about a particular nutrient, search whfoods.com to find additional sources.)

Some additional tips include: * Avoid your known food intolerances. * Reduce your body burden by avoiding additional substances known to cause harm. * A small percentage of people with asthma are sensitive to MSG, Yellow # 5 (aka tartrazine) and sulphites. * Fast food is correlated with higher incidence in asthma.

Visit your local naturopath to develop a personalized treatment plan to support your respiratory system all year round.

In the mean time, stay safe and look after one another during this time of crisis.

Air pollution can trigger symptoms, but supplementation with antioxidants can help mediate this reaction. Support your lungs with your diet by increasing the following elements:

an

Anti-Cancer

by Lisa Kilgour, RHN lisakilgour.com

diet

Cancer has touched so many lives. Most of us either know someone personally who has experienced cancer or have had cancer ourselves. It has become so common that I’m regularly asked about a cancer preventative diet or what to eat while healing from cancer. It’s a very popular question.

Google “cancer” and “diet” and you’ll get incredibly scary, confusing and frustratingly inconsistent information. One website will say a food or supplement is supportive and the next will say not to use it. You just can’t win.

However, from my research and my experience working in integrative cancer care, an anti-cancer diet (both for prevention and healing) can be simple, straightforward, and effective.

I won’t be talking about any “miracle cures;” instead these are research-proven and effective dietary recommendations, and for many of you, they’re foods you’ll already find in your cupboard: Whole foods: These are foods that are ingredients, not ones that have ingredient lists. Fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, etcetera are very healing foods. Processed and packaged foods can contain questionable ingredients, refined sugar and are usually missing important nutrients.

Healthy fats: Most of us are unknowingly eating a low-fat diet, and your immune system needs fat to function properly. Look at your skin: is it dry? If so, you need more fat. Add at least 1 tsp of healthy, unprocessed fat to each meal. Healthy fats include extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, organic butter and avocado.

Antiangiogenic foods: These are powerful anti-cancer foods.

Many types of tumors will trigger the growth of blood vessels so they can grow quickly. Antiangiogenic foods slow the growth arteries and blood vessels, making it harder for the tumor to grow. These are healthy foods like green tea, turmeric, berries, kale and citrus. Vincent Li has a great TED talk on this topic.

Relaxation: Okay, this isn’t a food, but it’s important. I know that saying “no” to stress is easier said than done, but every minute you spend in a relaxed state you give your body and immune system a chance to heal. Every moment of ahhhhh counts.

Supplements: The most important cancer-preventative supplements are simple ones like vitamin D, fish oil, lycopene (especially if prostate cancer is of concern) and medicinal mushrooms like reishi.

Right now you might be thinking why didn’t she talk about *insert food or concept here*? Yes, you’re right, I could talk about many other things, but from my experience, this is a great place to start.

Lastly, stressing about doing everything perfectly is not healing. However, enjoying the food you eat and the life you live is. Take a deep breath, relax and enjoy some lovely whole foods.

Motivating Children to be

Active

By Melissa Paauwe

As an active individual, it can be quite frustrating when my step-kids, ages 13 and 9, don’t share my and my husband’s love of nature or desire to be active. I hear this frustration expressed by many of my active friends with kids, and the question we often get is: “How do you motivate them?”

“That was fun,” which is a major win in any parent’s books.

This was the reaction my husband and I waited patiently for through temper tantrums mid-hike or the bribes to get them outside. No, we were not above bribes. Let’s be honest parents, some days you will do whatever it takes!

Social media followers may look at my Facebook and Instagram posts of happy-smiley kids and envy their desire to tag along on bike rides and hike to mountain tops with us. What they do not see is just how much of a struggle it has been to get them to that point. It was not always willingly that they tagged along. Even still, it takes an extra push some days. The major difference is that they almost always come back saying

When pondering how to answer the question of motivation, I decided it was best to go to the source: our kids. I asked them what helped them to gain a love for being active (almost) as much as we do, and their answers were quite simple. The eldest expressed loving having a destination to look forward to. This can be anything from the ice cream shop ten kilometres away or a mountain top to look down at the world from.

Other sentiments expressed were that they did not want to miss out, they loved the time as a family and they thought it was fun to see their own improvement. The latter is the one I want to elaborate on as the time when I saw the major shift, especially in the youngest.

As active individuals, we assume it is easy to hike to a mountain top, but even we have our breaking points. We cannot expect that a child will stay engaged doing the same activity for hours on end or can even physically handle the same distance we can. So, we started planning our activities less in duration, finishing long before the complaining normally set in. This meant at times sacrificing the mountain peak the parents were hoping to find, but well before the kids were done. The activities finished on a good note. Everyone remembered it as a good experience and did not dread the next one. Slowly we started building the kids up to greater distances and giving them praise for how much they DID do versus what they did not. We also always emphasized how happy we were to have them tag along. Before we knew it, they were even happy to be there.

Another key with children is consistency. As a family, we implemented “Wings ‘n Weights Wednesdays.” It’s as simple as it sounds. We would spend about thirty minutes as a family doing children-friendly strengthening activities and then we would have their favourite food. We adapted it to waffles when the youngest decided to become a vegetarian.

The point is that, even if we do not feel like doing it, they are dressed and ready and expect it to happen, even motivating us at times when we do not feel like it.

Just remember: this will not happen overnight. As with anything, patience is necessary. Start them young, but consider their age and their limitations. Before you know it, they’ll be waiting at the top of the mountain for you. Or, as in our case, the youngest leaving a note to say she had left to do hill repeats before the adults had even crawled out of bed for the day. Yes, this did happen! And yes, I smiled all day for it.

Melissa Paauwe is an avid blogger and certified running coach for her business, We Run the World Coaching. She grew up in the small town of Quesnel, BC where her elementary school, Carson Elementary, introduced her to her love of running at the ripe age of 8. Since then, she has become a competitive runner and cyclist. She is currently training to represent Canada, alongside her husband, for the Penticton 2017 ITU Duathlon World Championships.

Our power of

Comparison

By Jesse Haber, MA, RCC Fellow Traveller Counselling

Humans are innately good at comparing one thing to another.

You do this all the time: comparing deals at the grocery store, clothes for fashion or utility, where to spend your vacation, which job to take, and who you spend your time with. This is a basic, useful survival skill. However, sometimes when we turn our gaze inward, that skill can be the root of some seriously unhelpful ways of thinking. This article will be the first of two articles exploring comparison; when we compare our real selves to our ideal selves, and the power of social comparison.

The Ideal Versus the Real Self

DIRECT BILLING

ONLINE BOOKING

Imagine who you want to be. Is that person more fit, smarter, healthier, better looking, better in social situations, make better money or have a different history than you? Most people look in the mirror each morning and automatically start comparing what they actually see with what they think they should see. This phenomenon is called comparing your real self to your ideal self. While it can certainly be advantageous to plan for the future, set goals and think about what you want, it can sometimes cause problems because we are ultimately telling ourselves, you are not enough now.

“When we fixate too much on who we should be rather than who we are, it tends to lead to consistent dissatisfaction.”

The ideal self is a version of you that doesn’t really exist, but you still hold yourself to that standard. When we fixate

discoverwellnessbc.ca

too much on who we should be rather than who we are, it tends to lead to consistent dissatisfaction. We begin to judge ourselves poorly with each day that we are not our ideal selves. This can act for some as a motivator, a driving factor encouraging them to push harder toward their goals. For many, however, the opposite happens. This self-judgement and self-comparison to an ideal becomes a weight, one that we are not even aware we are carrying. Eventually, that weight slows us down, making us feel less effective. Our ideal selves feel further away and our judgements become even more critical. So now that we can see the problem, what is the solution?

Accepting What is Real By reading this article, you have already begun to make the change that is necessary to healthier ways of thinking and comparing. The main step is to recognize that this cycle is happening. Once we know that we are piling this weight onto ourselves, we can recognize it for what it is and gently begin to put the weight down. I suggest starting simply.

Ask yourself this: How is this negative assessment of myself helping me to achieve my goals? What would it feel like to put that weight down and just move forward? What if I accepted who I am today, because that is who I am and that is enough.

Then give yourself the time to really explore what the answers to those questions might mean for your life.

This won’t come naturally for some, especially if you have been working hard at making those unkind comparisons for a while. But just as we have a natural inclination to compare one thing to another, we also have a powerful ability to learn from what isn’t working and move forward: healthier, clearer and carrying less weight.
