Men’s Health and Fitness

Men’s health is important, but it may take a backseat to your career, your family, or your fast-paced lifestyle. Are you eating right? Getting enough exercise? Are you thinking about your health?

According to Stats Canada, Canadian men between ages 12-64 are more prone to have high blood pressure, and more likely than women at any given age to drink a substantial amount of alcohol and have diabetes;  and on the Canadian Community Health Survey which measures health behavior regarding “smoking, drinking, physical activity, and frequency of fruit and vegetable consumption”, men score lower than women overall.

So what can you do to permanently change your behavior and increase your health and longevity?

For more information on how to get healthier and lower  your risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes and more, send me a message to connect!

I offer one on one training in a great gym in North Van.

Is Fruit Bad for You?

Is Fruit BAD?
Can you compare a banana to a pack of snack sized oreos? Maybe the calories are the same, but what about the content?

Fruit eating is debatable, and here is a great article from the Globe and Mail on this very topic.

If you’re trying to lose weight, calories count. Veggies have WAY less calories (depending on the veggie- not avocadoes!) compared to most fruits.

Oro Spa and Wellness in Osoyoos, BC

Planning a trip to Osoyoos, BC?

I am there right now, and just got back from a wonderful spa visit at Oro Spa and Wellness.

Ahhh,

I just got back from a most pleasant facial at Oro Spa and Wellness in Osoyoos, BC.

The spa is located in the Casa Del Mila Oro Resort, in Osoyoos.

I checked in at the desk, and even though the spa was closed, I was able to get an appointment.

I made an appointment for an Oro Glow Facial- one hour in length for $80.

I was unsure as I usually frequent Spa Utopia in North Vancouver, and didn’t know what this one would be like.

The proprietor welcomed me graciously and walked me into the treatment room. I was left to get ready, then was treated to a most luxurious facial. She was also a massage therapist, and during the mask, she did an arm and hand, leg and foot massage. She finished with a scalp massage.

I looked at the time and she went over by about 10 minutes! It was fantastic.

I left the Oro Spa feeling very relaxed, rested, and rejuvenated. It was amazing!

If you come to Osoyoos and are looking for a great spa treatment, check out the Oro Spa and Wellness at Casa Del Milo Oro Resort.
