Walking in a Winter Wonderland! by Dr. Maya Pande

 With winter here, it's important to take care when you are walking in snowy conditions. Here are a few tips that will help you avoid slipping on the ice or snow:
- Wear shoes or boots that provide traction on snow and ice: rubber and neoprene composite. Avoid plastic and leather soles.
- Take small steps to keep your center of balance under you.
- When walking on ice, bend slightly and walk flat-footed with your center of gravity directly over the feet as much as possible
- Walk slowly and never run on icy ground.

Food Drive for the Daily Bread Food Bank
|
 This past holiday season Pande Family Wellness Centre held a food drive to benefit Daily Bread Food Bank. We asked for your help and you answered! From November 27th to December 31, we successfully collected 160 lbs of much needed food items to donate to those in need, which far exceeded our anticipated goal!
Thank you to everyone who helped make our campaign a success.Together we made a difference!

A Recipe from Aviva Allen, RHN
|
 Roasted Broccoli
Yield: 4-6 servings
6 cups broccoli florets (with 2" of stem remaining)
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 quarter cup dried cranberries*
half tsp. sea salt
1 quarter cup pumpkin seeds, toasted**
Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. In a mixing bowl, toss together the broccoli, oil, cranberries and salt.
3. Spread onto a baking sheet and bake for approximately 12 minutes.
4. Return to mixing bowl and toss with toasted pumpkin seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
* Most dried cranberries are sweetened with refined sugar. Look for those which specify they are fruit juice sweetened.
** Toast pumpkin seeds at 300°F for 8-10 minutes or until slightly browned and puffed up. Listen for the sound of the seeds popping because it doesn't take long for them to go from toasted to burned.
