Scott's Thoughts-JULY!

JULY!!! — all CAPS!!!
 
Yes! July! Can you tell I am super excited! July is one of our busiest months down at Elan and in Bowness. Here is the “not to be missed” list:
  1. Stampede Parade in Bowness! July 6th, come join us for the 30th annual Bowness Stampede Parade.
  2. Pop in for an entrainment before AND after Josephene heads off to the West Coast Trail. She is sure to have a great adventure, help us send her off and welcome her back.
  3. Bowness is hosting Movie In The Park at the BCA. July 27th, fun starts in the evening around 7ish with the movie starting about 9:30. Dress warm for after the sun goes down.
  4. Doctor Rob’s Birthday!!! If you can guess the date in one try, I’ll give you $10 off your next massage!!! See the front desk to enter for rules.
That should get you started. Oh and stampede and pancakes and cowboy hats. But you already know all that boring stuff.

Ten days of eating Vegan are under way.  This is the food experiment I am dreading the most, but I will try my best.   Why am I wanting to try Vegan? Amount of Protein.   I am curious if I am getting too much protein with my usual carnivore diet.  I haven't convinced myself that I will be calculating my daily protein consumption, but maybe this will give my body a break if I am getting too much.  So far, I'm sticking to my grazing-3 meals and 3 snacks a day & will try to balance them all with protein, fats and carbs. Alkaline State.   Vegan diets support your body being in an alkaline state, which is better for us for many reasons and if I find the time that would be a blog post alone.  I threw this comment out to a practice member and she suggested we get some pH strips to measure, so we did.  (Just from our Health Food Store, but apparently you can also get them at Home Care Centres.) Inflammation.   Too much of the wrong types of fats can lead our body into

Outdoor Inspiration

We went to Banff this past weekend. Absolutely one of the best things about living so close to the mountains, and also something we rarely take advantage of.  Beautiful mountains, fresh air, excellent sushi (don't we all go to Banff for sushi?), healing, mineral hot springs. Sounds lovely, yes? While I was there, I checked my email and coincidentally, had one commenting on the benefits of being outside (kids and adults) for 2-3 hours per day. Yes, 2-3 hours a day.  I don't think commuting in the car counts.   Are you outside this often? Are your kids? So many benefits of being outside: Fresh air Better sleep More exercise (unless that's lying on a beach, or in a hammock) Ability to explore our natural world-trees, bugs, animals, mud... More neurosensory stimulation (like waking on uneven surfaces, balancing on logs, new textures) Family time Unplugged time Did I find enough reasons without looking up any research articles?  I know the resea
