Holistic nutrition: Eating for mind, body and soul

In today's fast-paced, high-demand world, we have become a culture focused on convenience and that includes how we eat. When hunger strikes, it's much easier to open a can, unwrap a package or pop a lid than it is to actually prepare a
fresh meal. But according to holistic nutritionists, the cost of convenience is not so much the impact on your pocketbook, as it is the impact on your health. With the epidemic rise of obesity and diabetes, the link to your health and what you eat has taken centre stage and many are looking to holistic nutrition as a way to not only feed their bodies but heal themselves as well.

Empowering Women

 

March 8th marks International Women's Day, recognized worldwide as a global day celebrating economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future, dating back to the early 1900s and the Suffragettes who first campaigned for women to get the right to vote.

In recent decades, the world's women have made tremendous progress towards achieving equality with men; however, there is still one area that needs to be addressed: Violence against women.

Up to 70 per cent of women worldwide experience violence in their lifetime. Your Employee and Family Assistance Program can help you develop a safety plan and identify community resources such as shelters, legal and financial services.

Abuse should be understood, but never tolerated or ignored. If you need help or suspect someone you know who does, contact your Employee and Family Assistance Program to create a safety plan.
