President Heidi started the meeting at 12:33

 

Jeff H presented the 4-Way Test, and we all toasted the Queen and Canada.

 

We had 18 members present and 4 guests including Vanessa Stevenson from Homewood Suites, Julie W from Langs, Scott Brown from Good Will, and Dr. Tyler our guest speaker.

Rena H - advised that thanks to the generosity of her cousin, and her cousin's employer, money is still flowing in for CNOY!

Matt M - helped out a senior friend who will be vaccinated next week

Pres. Heidi's - parents will be vaccinated on Tuesday next week

Jeff H - is happy to be a part of Lang's, where they're vaccinating 200-400 people a day!  All over the age of 80

Tom E - who helped sign up his parents (both over 90!) reports it's by far best to register on-line once you have the chance

Paul McM - visited Dave Sopha who is resting comfortably at home

Paul McM was in fine form today laying out some very useful rules for golf - I learned a lot!

Todd L - reported that the Cambridge Bingo and Gaming Centre is open again 7 days a week from 11am - 11pm.  Actual bingo is not being played, but if you visit, you have full access to their electronic gaming machines.  Capacity is limited, but it's still a great place to have some fun out of the house!  The Centre is also a great source of funds for some of our charitable giving, including the recent gifts to KidsAbility and CNOY sponsorship - please check it out!

PP Linda introduced Dr. Tyler Roberts from Nature's Vibe Natural Health Centre on Grand Ave in Galt.

 

- 2400 years ago, Hippocrates spoke of the 'healing power of nature' - and it's just as true today as then.

- Naturopathic Doctors require a Bachelor's degree, followed by 4 years training, including 4,500 instructional hours, and 1,200 clinic hours, which include 155 hours on nutrition

- most extended health benefit plans cover all or a portion of their fees

- it's all about 'look after yourself first', then you'll be healthy to care for your family and community

- health is most affected by Stress, Sleep, Exercise, and Diet

Tips for the spring:

- eat warm well cooked foods

- reduce refined sugar intake

- bundle up when going outside - especially back of your neck, your 'wind gate'

- 8 hours of sleep a night

- and do a 'warming sock treatment'

Vitamins are vital - but the ones in regular drug stores are hardly worth taking - but properly balanced ones can be found in specialty natural stores - talk to your Naturopath!

 

Dean B thanked Dr. Tyler, followed by President Heidi - a great presentation - with many reminders to LOOK AFTER YOURSELF!
