Naturopathic
Corner: Keeping your heart in check
Dr. Samantha
Ristimaki, BSc, ND
Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine
 Heart
disease is one of the leading killers for Canadians.
Rather than dealing with the issues when they arise,
implement a heart healthy lifestyle in order to prevent
high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol.
1. Choose fish over red meat
Fish contains omega-3 fatty acids which can help prevent
heart disease. Best choices include US caught tilapia,
herring, rainbow trout and pacific wild salmon.
2. Lots of colour
Vegetables with colour contain the most
antioxidants which help protect cells and prevent damage
to blood vessel walls.
3. You can have your Chocolate
Pure dark chocolate contains catechins which also function
as an antioxidant within the body.
4. Skip the salt
Processed food rich in salt (sodium) can cause you to
retain water and your blood pressure to rise.
5. Walk, walk, walk
Like
any
other muscle in the body, the heart is a muscle that
needs to be trained.
Walking is a gentle, sustainable form of cardiovascular
exercise.
6. Slow and steady wins the
race
Implement life long changes rather than starting a fad
diet. Years of healthy eating and exercise will do
far more good than a few weeks on a fad diet.

Klean
Kanteen® Stainless Steel Water Bottles
 Klean
Kanteen® eco-friendly, durable, bpa-free reusable
stainless steel water bottles are now available at Wellness
for the Body
Why Klean Kanteen?
Klean Kanteen® provides choices that promote healthy
living with respect for the environment. We believe
that we can transform the world in which we live by
promoting environmental awareness and conservation.
Recent studies have shown that many
plastic water bottles including Lexan® bottles,
leach toxins, such as Bisphenol A (BPA). These studies
have linked BPA to breast cancer and reproductive mutations.
Good Health Is In Your Future
The stainless steel in your Kanteen is the high quality
food-grade stainless steel that goes through an electropolishing
process to smooth the surface. Klean Kanteen stainless
is 100 percent non-leaching and toxin free, making it
a safe, healthy alternative to plastic or lined metal
containers.
