Burlington’s

Photographer Robert Todd of Burlington, can find photographic inspiration everywhere. His preferred subjects are natural landscapes, but he also loves to take editorial shots and capture street scenes where his pictures can really tell a story. His eye for composition and lighting has developed over years of practice and he credits his technical knowledge to the Sheridan College Digital Photography courses he took while he was recuperating from a serious illness.

In 2018, Robert was the recipient of a Burlington Arts & Culture grant for his project ‘Burlington, A City through the Seasons’. The exhibition included 16 of his framed images which were on display at multiple locations across Burlington including City Hall, the Performing Arts Centre, and the Tourism Burlington Visitor Centre. The photos featured many of the city’s most beautiful, walkable, bikeable, and transit accessible locations which are free to visit and photograph year round.

You can find examples of his work in the Burlington Official Visitors Guide as well as in the City of Burlington postcards / E-postcards, offered through Tourism Burlington. Recently, several of his photos were displayed on Tourism Burlington’s Instagram page as the featured artist during Tourism week (May 25th - May 30th 2020).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A CANADIAN LEGEND 10

NEIGHBOURHOODMAGA ZINE .CA

HAZEL MCCALLION CELEBRATES HER 100TH BIRTHDAY ON FEBRUARY 14.

HUGELY ADMIRED FOR HER COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS, SPIRIT AND INDOMITABLE ENERGY, IT IS WITH GREAT PRIDE AND PLEASURE THAT WE WISH HAZEL A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

As the 5th Mayor of Mississauga serving for 36 years, 1978 to 2014, Hazel McCallion was acclaimed twice and re-elected 10 times. Locally and affectionately known as Hurricane Hazel, her nickname is in recognition of her outspoken political style.

Amongst the honours Hazel received was the 2016 naming of February 14 as Hazel McCallion Day across the province of Ontario. In Port Credit she is honoured annually with the Hazel McCallion Canada Day Parade. In 2016 she became the first and current Chancellor of Sheridan College with a campus named in her honour. Trillium Health Partners - Mississauga Hospital has the Hazel McCallion Centre for Heart Health.

Following her retirement from politics Hazel continues her presence in the city keeping up a hectic schedule of appointments and appearances. A truly inspiring woman, we salute Hazel McCallion and add our admiration to the many accolades she receives.

HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY! NEIGHBOURHOODMAGA ZINE .CA

LIVING HEALTHY WITH , VITAMINS & SUPPLEMENTS

What are the Benefits of Taking Multivitamins?

It is clear that a multivitamin supplement has the ability to increase our wellness.

Calcium and Vitamin D are proven to aid in bone health, Vitamin D also supports a healthy colon and may prevent colon cancer and many chronic conditions, Folic Acid is proven to reduce birth defects and has been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, colon cancer and other cancers including breast cancer, B Vitamins are proven to increase energy and aid in neurological functions, Magnesium is proven to relax the body, antioxidants are proven to prevent certain cancers, and both Vitamin C and Zinc are proven to increase immune function. These are just a few of the benefits a multivitamin has to offer.

According to a report from Oregon State University, “About 75% of the US population do not consume the recommended intake of fruit, and more than 80% do not consume the recommended intake of vegetables.”

The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggests that nutrients that are

often under-consumed included vitamin D, calcium, potassium, fiber, and iron. In addition, research shows that adults with high intakes of added sugar in the diet had lower intakes of many micro-nutrients, especially vitamin A, C, E, and the mineral magnesium.

Are Multivitamins All We Need?

Although multivitamins are a great supplement to a healthy diet, everybody has unique health needs. Health should never be approached from a one-size-fits-all mindset.

“

About 75% of the US population do not consume the recommended intake of fruit, and more than 80% do not consume the recommended intake of vegetables.

“

E

very day, we all strive for balance.

We try to eat right, exercise more, and sleep better. We try to navigate through our days and weeks with as little stress as possible, taking everything in stride. But sometimes, even when we are doing our best, we need a boost; we need to increase our body’s wellness to deal with the stress, poor sleep and dietary deficiencies that come from a busy life. That’s where supplements come in. In order to fill our nutrient gaps, most of us have looked to the once-a-day multivitamin for help. So, here’s a quick guide to your multivitamin questions.

For this reason, a multivitamin may not fully address health concerns like poor digestion, inability to fall asleep, or exercise recovery. There are many supplements that can improve specific health needs. For example, Omega-3 fatty acids can support the health of those with high triglycerides, while garlic can help to reduce high blood pressure.

Taking multiple vitamins personalized for your needs is better than taking one multivitamin, but finding a specific supplement and vitamin routine can be difficult and time consuming. In addition, there are many supplements that negatively interact

with prescription medications. For example, taking an antidepressant with 5-HTP may result in too much serotonin in the body, leading to a dangerous condition called Serotonin Syndrome. You should also be cautious of taking too many vitamins and supplements. Persona’s algorithm is built to create a supplement program that is unique to your body’s need, while ensuring your routine is safe.

What are the Best Types of Multivitamins and Supplements and where can I get them?

Several years ago, Tim Krukoski, owner of the Watershop store in Burlington read an article that stated that over 45% of all Canadians used at least one nutritional supplement. “I help provide pure, healthy drinking water already so it just made sense to me to start selling vitamins and supplements as well,” said Tim. Looking for a multivitamin or supplement that is natural, allergen free and highly bio-available (easier for your body to absorb) is not as easy as it sounds and it took Tim some time before choosing the right brand - Nutridom.

According to caforia.com, Nutridom is one of the top 3 brands to choose, especially for joint pain. They recommend Curcumin, Glucosamine and MSM and Serrapeptase to help with inflammation, often a source of pain in the muscles and joints. Nutridom can be purchased at the Watershop, 775 Woodview Road in Burlington.

This article is mostly from the Benefits of Taking Multivitamin Supplements by Tamara Bernadot from www. personanutrition.com dated April 8, 2019, Use of nutritional supplements 2015 - Statistics Canada and from caforia.com article dated July 15, 2018.
