TIPS TOMAINTAINAHEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM Keep a Positive Mindset

kale, broccoli, spinach, peas, potatoes, carrots, and avocados. Quercetin (a flavonoid found in onions, grapes, capers, and black and green tea) is believed to have antiviral properties. Vitamin D plays a key role in immune health and can be found in fatty fish, cremini mushrooms, and yogurt. Consume Essential Fatty Acids The benefits of essential fatty acids are almost endless: improved cardiovascular health, muscle tissue maintenance, mental and cognitive improvement, and reduced inflammation. Fish and seafood are generally the best sources of essential fatty acids, especially salmon, mackerel, albacore tuna, trout, sardines, and swordfish. Move For 30-60 Minutes Each Day The benefits of movement and exercise are endless: improved mood, reduced insulin sensitivity, increased energy, and improved cardiovascular health – just to name a few. Avoid repeated overexertion and make healthy movement a daily priority.

A positive mindset doesn’t mean you ignore life’s difficulties and challenges – it means you approach them in a more constructive and positive way. A positive mindset has been linked with lower rates of depression, resistance to the common cold, and better cardiovascular health. Stay Hydrated The human body is mostly water, and our brain and muscles are up to 75% water. Water is so important that it is found in every cell, tissue, and organ in the body. Proper hydration improves brain function, helps deliver oxygen to the body, lubricates joints, and is essential for cell

Patient Success Spotlight

I arrived for my first appointment barely able to walk. The ladies in reception were so sweet! Dr. Alex Vanderlinden is very knowledgeable and kind, and I felt very comfortable working with him. I felt like he cared about me as a real person with pain, rather than just a patient. There were parts of my body that I didn’t even know were in need of adjustments, and it made a huge difference in pain that I’ve dealt with for years! Physiotherapist Yolanda Pinedo is second to none! If you need help to manage your pain for good, Yolanda’s the best! I’m now in control of my pain, and back to living.” — T. B.

PRACTITIONER SPOTLIGHT

MEET DR. NICK STRYNIAK

Dr. Nick is a Chiropractor and an entrepreneur with a passion for providing a better health care experience. He believes that we should never settle and that there is always a way to improve – ourselves, our community, and for Dr. Nick – how to help others. Dr. Nick’s goal is to help you reduce your pain, correct posture and muscle imbalances, improve movement patterns, all while promoting a healthy lifestyle. Treatment begins with a thorough history and examination, after which Dr. Nick will discuss with you his findings and work with you to develop a treatment plan to achieve your goals. Depending on his findings and your preferences, your treatment may consist of a combination of spinal adjustments, manual therapy (Active Release Techniques), corrective exercise, lifestyle advice, and other treatment tools to help you achieve your goals. When Dr. Nick is not with clients, he is obsessively working on his vision and growing the clinic brand, while balancing time with his family, friends, lifting weights and stopping pucks as a hockey goaltender.
