i’m not Ready yet! Moving from your present home into a Retirement Community can be a difficult decision, and unfortunately, many people wait too long and don’t get the full enjoyment from the experience.

what aRe the most impoRtant vegetable gaRdening tips?If you are just getting started in gardening and want to know what the absolute most important vegetable gardening tips are that you should know, here they are. This article presents the tips in an easy-to-follow format. By Scott GoodmanThere are literally thousands upon thousands of different vegetable gardening tips and home gardening tips out there that you can learn about and use to your advantage, but if you are just getting started in gardening and want to know what the absolute most important vegetable gardening tips are that you should know, here they are.

Gardening

One of the most important vegetable gardening tips, easily, involves deciding where to make your garden. Choosing a garden site is going to have a significant effect on whether your plants are going to do well or poorly. An area exposed to full or near-full sunlight with deep, well-drained, fertile soil is ideal.

You should never make a garden site near a water outlet, and you must make sure that the area you choose is free of competition from existing shrubs or trees.

�R e t i r e m e n t I s O n l y T h e B e g i n n i n g

Another of the first vegetable gardening tips you should learn involves the actual planting of the plants. You should always avoid transplanting too deep or too shallow, because this often results in developed roots aborting. Some crops are easily transplanted bare-root, while others will need to be transplanted in containers.

Proper fertilizer is essential for any successful vegetable garden. The next tip here is to use organic fertilizer. This is for a few reasons, but more than anything, because organic fertilizers are much safer to use and less damaging to the plants. They are also much better for the environment, and every little thing that you can do to save the environment these days is crucial.

design

The design of your garden is what the next of the most important vegetable gardening tips revolves around. You should design your garden so that crop rotation is practiced, and this is imperative because rotation primarily helps by preventing diseases from surviving from one season to another. Avoid growing the same vegetable in the same location more often than once every three years.Gardening is a very fun and enjoyable activity, and when you have fresh vegetables produced from your very own garden, you are going to feel so proud. Just make sure that you take all the different gardening tips and tricks into serious consideration and really use them to your advantage so that you have the best overall success with your gardening and come out of it all with fresh, nutritious, delicious vegetables.

Foods to aidRegeneration and anti-aging

did you know that ceRtain Foods will actually keep you looking youngeR? Learn about the health benefits of all types of foods and how you can create a nutritious diet a part of your daily lifestyle. This article opens the door ... By Paul Rodgers

it’s as if aging is payment for the health and fun you had in youth. No wonder so many older people are depressed. For the general public, the concept of anti-aging is all about trying to turn back the hands of time in order to achieve and maintain a more youthfully appealing appearance.

Healthy rhythms create a state of balance, encouraging a return to health and bringing forth a radiant beauty. This would have no effect on the aging process, but it would help many people to live longer, healthier lives. They’ve been said to stall aging, ward off disease, and wage internal war against the harmful free radicals that pummel our bodies every day. We cannot build health on packaged, processed boxes of food, chips, soda, pizza, sweets, etc.

Did you know that certain foods will actually keep you looking younger? Learn about the health benefits of all types of foods and how you can create a nutritious diet a part of your daily lifestyle. Your kinesiologist can supply you with information on which foods to avoid to stop degeneration, and which foods to buy to aid regeneration and anti-aging.

We need to balance the acid-producing foods we eat with much more alkali-producing foods, especially if we suffer from symptoms such as tiredness, pain, illness, gas, and skin problems.

The only foods that produce alkalis are fruit and vegetables, particularly leafy, green vegetables, such as sprouts, parsley, and cabbage.

1. Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods that can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. Antioxidants are abundant in fruits and vegetables, as well as in other foods including nuts, grains, and some meats, poultry, and fish.

2. Beta-carotene is found in many foods that are orange in color, including sweet potatoes, carrots, cantaloupe, squash, apricots, pumpkin, and mangos.

long workout. Men who burn 4400 calories per week through exercise are nearly 40% less likely to develop heart disease than men who use up only 1100 calories per week.

The significance of beneficial anti-aging interventions is often undermined by claims that these interventions are not proven to delay the process of aging itself, but instead that they simply delay or ‘cover-up’ some particular manifestations of aging. In contrast to these pessimistic views, the reliability theory says that there may be no specific underlying elementary ‘aging process itself ’.

Instead, aging may be largely a property of redundant systems as a whole, because it has a network of destruction pathways, each being associated with particular manifestations of aging. Therefore, we should not be discouraged by only partial success of each particular anti-aging intervention, but instead we can appreciate that we do have many opportunities to oppose aging in numerous different ways.

After all, the main reason why people are concerned about aging is that it is related to health deterioration and increased morbidity.

3. Lycopene is a potent antioxidant found in tomatoes, watermelon, guava, papaya, apricots, pink grapefruit, blood oranges, and other foods.

4. Plant foods like rice and wheat are the major dietary sources of selenium in most countries.

5. Some fatty foods such as olive oil are partially protected from oxidation by their natural content of antioxidants, but remain sensitive to photo oxidation.

Exercise is as vital as the food you take in. Exercisers tend to consume more oxygen than sedentary people do, and they may produce more free radicals. Endurance exercise can increase oxygen utilization from 10 to 20 times over the resting state. Do flexibility training 5 minutes before and after each exercise session to warm up and cool down the muscles, ensure smooth join movement, prevent accidents, and maintain good balance.

Do cardiovascular exercise every day, 30 minutes total at 80% of maximum heart rate (maximum heart rate is equal to 220 less your age). Breaking up exercise into short bursts of activity throughout the day strengthens the heart just as well as one

silence is lonely

When at first our hearing begins to fade; Though the signs are foretelling, we may choose to evade We tell others they don’t speak clearly, they mumble a lot; My concentration is elsewhere, that’s why I ask what Please talk a bit louder, your voice is so weak; I could hear you just fine, when you’re close at hand; If you would learn to enunciate, I could understand. Being with family is one of life’s greatest joys; But don’t expect me to hear with all of that noise. It’s easy to blame others, though it’s not really fair; It’s your hearing problem, solve it, show others you care. He who said ‘silence is golden’ spoke for himself only; For the hearing impaired, ‘silence is lonely’. ~ Roy Bain© 1996

Don’t ignore the signs of hearing loss. If you are asking others to repeat themselves; having difficulty hearing in groups; turning the television louder, etc, you should speak to your doctor.

Recently I sat and watched my father puzzle over his medications, wondering if he had taken his daily dose or not. He wondered whether he should bother taking them at all since there seemed to be no immediate harm from missing several days of pills. Thus, my father had became part of health cares’ “other drug problem”.

alone. This translates into approximately 12,000 Canadians. In the nineties, the same organization estimated that the direct/indirect monetary impact of non-adherence was over 100 billion dollars in the USA. Fifty percent of long term medications are not taken regularly.

As a pharmacist, I know of several programs and devices that can help my father. Pharmacies offer free programs such as auto refill/delivery, mail order, phone calls, and compliance packaging. The first pharmaceutical device used to act as a memory aid was the birth control’s -daily dose- circular dial. These devices have evolved into dossetts with reminder alarms, e-mails, SMS texts, and even pill bottles with computer chips programmed to tell if you have taken the pill(s).

So, I set my father up with a 28 day compliance pack. Each package is labelled with the date and time so he can remember if he has taken his pills or not. He can also tear them off to take with him on his day to day travels.

If this sounds like you or your parent, ask your pharmacy as they may be able to help.

Quebec City is one incredible destination! It has so much to offer: living history, French cuisine and architecture, extraordinary boutiques, great accommodation and seasonal festivals. Most people know of the Quebec Winter Carnival, but have you heard about its Summer Music Festival?

This is the largest outdoor arts festival in Canada with 400 shows and 200 groups during its 11 day run. The music is varied: Rock, French, Jazz, Classical, and Street Art. You may purchase an admission ticket, which is good for all performances, or simply wander the Old City to hear a variety of artists who perform on the street for free. There are many different events to suit every musical taste.

For more information, call: 1-877-783-1608, or visit: www.infofestival.com

Another seasonal addition to the city’s culture is the new exhibition at the Museum of Civilization. This excellent museum features three new displays: The Science of Aliens, Egyptian Mummies and the Seven Year’s War.

For more information, visit: www.mcq.org

Reaching Quebec City is easiest by driving or taking the VIA train. The Old City is so pedestrian friendly, you can walk everywhere! English is spoken in most stores and at attractions, but I recommend trying out your high school French. Accommodations vary from friendly auberges, or Inns, to five star resorts. The cuisine is quite incredible as well.

However, if you are wearing short sleeves and do not have a jacket or sweater handy, you could be destined for a very cold experience. The less active you are, the more likely you are to feel chilled - even at normal room temperature.

A comfortable backpack can leave your hands free to deal with tickets, children, and other luggage. However, never place anything like passports or wallets in a backpack.

is theRe anything betteR than a lovely glass oF wine? It’s not just for dinner anymore and is proven to have many health benefits.

Evidence suggests that the earliest wine production came from regions in Georgia and Iran, dating from 6000 to 5000 BC, where the walls of ancient caves turned up drawings of grape vines and seeds.

Historians believe that grapes most likely first fermented by accident with the help of wild yeasts that must have been present when grape skins were held in storage.

Throughout its history, wine has been used socially for many purposes, such as calming feuds, giving courage in battle, sealing pacts, celebrating festivals, and seducing lovers.

Red oR white?The sacrificial wine which was offered as a tribute to pagan gods became the sacramental wine of the early Christian church.

North American wine production started with the planting of vines by the Spanish Missionaries in order to fulfill the Catholic Holy Eucharist. This movement flourished into Mexico and in 1769, Franciscan missionary Father Junipero Serra planted the first California vineyard in Mission San Diego.

In Canada, the first European settlers were successful in cultivating their vines in British Columbia and Nova Scotia, but in Ontario to no avail. Our humid summers and cold winters were only meant for the wild grapes that naturally grow here. Why fight it? The Niagara grape industry flourishes to this day with award winning wines that Canadians can be proud of.

When we gaze into the wine in our glass, we are looking at the oldest known agricultural product in the world!

everyone knows that proper and regular maintenance is necessary to keep your

automobile in good working order. Even though you may have worked on your own cars as a teenager or still consider yourself to be an amateur car repair specialist, I recommend that you leave the work to a qualified mechanic who has been trained to do the job properly. This is especially important on higher end vehicle makes such as Mercedes, BMW, and Lexus - where the maintenance records play a large part in determining the value of a vehicle when you decide to sell it or trade it.

...who won’t Rip you oFF! Everyone knows that proper and regular maintenance is necessary to keep your automobile in good working order. Deciding on a vehicle mechanic is an important decision, and should not be taken lightly. Here are some helpful things to keep in mind. By Gregg Hall

Deciding on a mechanic to entrust with caring for your vehicle is an important decision, and should not be taken lightly. Finding the perfect mechanic isn’t rocket science, but on the other hand there isn’t exactly a manual on how to find a good one either. Here are some helpful things to keep in mind.

First off, ask the prospective mechanic for some references. Tell him what’s in it for him. If you own several vehicles, let him know that you will bring all of them to him for regular maintenance and repairs. Tell him that you take the care of

your vehicles seriously, and that is why you want to be able to speak to some of his customers to see what they have to say.

If he is a reputable mechanic he will have no problem with this, because he will have a long list of happy and satisfied clients. Another thing you can do is to ask friends and relatives who they use to take care of their cars and trucks. If you ask enough people, you are sure to find a name that comes up often.

The next thing you should be concerned with is qualifications or certifications. I prefer using a mechanic who is ASE certified, as this is the industry standard and insures that the mechanic is proficient in his craft. Don’t be afraid to ask the mechanic about this; a good mechanic will be proud of his achievements and will most likely have them displayed where they can be seen. Don’t trust you automobile to a shade tree mechanic.

If you belong to a car club for your make of vehicle, ask other owners who they use. Most likely you will find that the majority of them use the same person who specializes in your particular vehicle, and may even offer a discount to members of your club.
