2 ~ MIND, BODY AND SOUL | KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

We cannot stress this enough: Exercise IS medicine

“I’m just too busy!”

This is the most common of the excuses that we use to avoid the time

commitment required to exercise.

We can all identify with the unrealistic expectations on our time: Family, work,

volunteer commitments, running a household.

It can all be very stressful.

Studies show sustained exposure to psychological stress may result in an

infl ammatory response. This infl ammatory response may be expressed in the body

as physical muscle pain and eff ects to the gastrointestinal tract (tummy troubles),

and is a major risk factor in the development in many chronic diseases.

Exercise can play a tremendous role in your ability to stress manage.

Virtually any form of exercise, from aerobics to yoga, can act as a stress reliever.

Physical activity increases your endorphins, also known as your “feel-good

neurotransmitter” to raise your mood.

How to get started?

Always start by talking to your doctor. Some health conditions require special

consideration before increasing your activity level.

Then fi nd something to do that you enjoy.

Explore the many trails and walking paths in Kamloops, take a class and learn to

kayak, paddle board or swim, walk dogs for the SPCA — the list goes on and on.

Activity does not need to be expensive or complicated.

You will be amazed at the positive eff ect purposeful physical activity has on your

mood and stress level.

And, who knows, you may even lose a couple of pounds along the way!

” Those who do not make time for exercise will have to make time for illness.” —

Baby, it may be cold out — but get moving into fall!

As the days get shorter, and the air gets cooler,

our fi rst instinct is often to head indoors, fi nd a cozy

blanket and get ready to hibernate until the promise

of sunshine is back in the spring.

I want to challenge each of you to reconsider that

option.

We live in a beautiful city that off ers an abundance

of recreational pursuits year-round — whether you

are interested in being indoors or outside.

The Tournament Capital Centre is a hub of activity

regardless of the season, but fall and winter are

especially exciting.

Not only are the weight rooms buzzing with

activity, but the indoor track and pool areas see

increases in available programs.

Fitness classes are in full swing, including

everything from yoga, spin (a.k.a. indoor cycling),

strength training, balance, cardio, Zumba

and much more.

Regardless of your age or ability level, you can fi nd

a class that will fi t your abilities and interests.

New programs this fall include educational

workshops off ered at the TCC.

The three-part workshop series featured includes

challenging your thoughts surrounding positive

lifestyle changes.

Led by a certifi ed holistic nutritionist, the series

kicks off with “Move it to Lose,” discussing the

concepts of weight control, aff ects of internal body

systems and the whole concept of calories as they

relate to weight control.

Followed by the ever-popular “Stop the Diet

Mentality,” the course produces thought-provoking

discussion surrounding personal relationships with

food and examines the role of food in creating a

positive lifestyle.

Finish up with “Goal Setting and Basic Program

Design,” which will equip with you some tools to

develop your own basic exercise programs specifi c

to your goals.

The Westsyde Community Centre, at 859 Bebek

Rd., is an absolute gem, located in the heart of the

Westsyde community.

Off ering access to a 25-meter pool, fi tness centre

and fi tness classes, the community centre is easily

accessible for all North Kamloops residents.

Fitness classes include yoga, gentle Zumba,

prenatal aquatic (Aquanatal) and beginner

intermediate group fi tness programs.

An exciting addition to the programs and services

this fall includes fi tness programs in neighborhood

community rooms. Highly successful Yoga classes

are available in Hal Rogers Centre (Sahali), Valleyview

Community Hall (Valleyview) and Juniper Ridge

elementary.

These classes allow residents to take advantage of

great programs close to home.

After all, what could be better than enjoying your

favorite class right in your backyard?

If enjoying our wonderful seasons outdoors is

more inspiring, look no further than your favourite

summer parks.

The possibilities for recreation are endless as you

explore your most-cherished areas with a new lens.

Put on your warm clothes and run in the snow,

build a snowman — and just play!

Any move is a good move when it leads in the

direction of positive health.

A healthy holiday appetite

It seems that eating around holiday times is a

source of stress for a lot of people when it should be

a less stressful time — a time to enjoy family, friends

and food.

Perhaps we need to re-frame our thinking around

food, be it at Thanksgiving or Christmas or any other

holiday. What would life look like if we let go of all

guilt around those times and allowed ourselves to

enjoy all of that amazing food?

Here is some food for thought or thought about

food:

• Letting go of guilt can possibly lessen cravings and

the constant thinking of “forbidden” foods.

• “Eat a little of a lot” — try everything in small

amounts.

• Don’t restrict all day in favour of eating everything

and anything you want at dinner. Continue to eat at

regular intervals during the day but, perhaps, smaller

meals/snacks than you normally would.

• Make sure you aren’t starving before you go to a

social event or holiday meal. If you are too hungry,

you tend to overeat. When your body catches up to

let you know you are too full, you may not feel good

and this can contribute to feelings of guilt around

food.

• Off er to bring a dish or dessert. Look for something

that is delicious and healthy — something that will

strike up conversation. This might make you

feel more empowered

about the

choices you

make.

• If you are hosting a meal, set up the food in

another room so you don’t have all the food on the

table. This can be helpful if you are the type of person

who will continue to pick if the food is in front of you.

• Stay hydrated at all times. Your body may think it is

hungry when actually you just need more water.

• Try to do some regular exercise around social

events or holiday time.

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for our life and

food is a large part of that.

Give thanks by enjoying some of all

the great food we are off ered at

this time of year without guilt.

Healthy — and yummyA juice bar that is functional for the body and yummy for the soul.

Such is what Liquid Nutrition brings its customer — and the health-promoting

company is now in Kamloops.

The Tournament Capital’s culture of active lifestyles and hospitality became an

ideal spot for Liquid Nutrition to continue to expand its off ering, with the company

noting Kamloops’ attitude toward sports, recreation and relaxation was an obvious

match.

solutions so customers can make their purchase and know they are making smart

and healthful choices.

Liquid Nutrition gives Kamloops quite the nutritional boost.

cream nor sorbet will be used as a base.

The one-stop beverage provider tucked in on McGill Road just across from

Thompson Rivers University and off ers nutritional smoothies and juices that have

no syrups, no added sugar, no additives and no concentrate.

Even its wheatgrass shot is organically grown in the store in an urban cultivator,

made entirely from blended-up detoxifying wheatgrass.

benefi ts.

Ice is nice — for the whole family

Come discover one of Canada’s oldest and most popular winter recreational activities.

If you are looking for a fun and aff ordable recreation activity for the whole family, come on out and

try some skating and drop-in hockey programs this fall.

Skating has great aerobic and cardiovascular benefi ts, but does not have the joint impact that

comes with jogging.

Skating also tones muscles, promotes weight loss, increases mental control such as alertness and is

great for building self-esteem and confi dence.

Did you know only 12% of children and youth are meeting Canada’s Physical Activity Guidelines.

This means 88% of children and youth are not active enough. Skating does not have to be vigorous;

just getting off the couch and onto the ice is a great start to a healthier you.

Skating is also a great way to get out and have fun with friends and family while taking part in

Canada’s favourite pastime.

“Skating is lifetime sport that includes speed, agility and balance — and usually some hot

chocolate after, too.,” said Kamloops Coun. Nancy Bepple. “Skating is one of the best ways to enjoy

Canada’s winter.”

Wearing a helmet is the easiest way to prevent brain injury while on the ice. Remember, your

helmet is not doing its job if your chin strap is slack or if your helmet slides about on your head. Be

safe and wear a helmet! For more information, go online to www.kamloops.ca/arenas.

Don’t chill out — revive the exercise

With cooler temperatures around the corner, there’s no time

like the present to revive your exercise routine.

Being physically active is not only benefi cial to your overall

well-being; it can also help reduce your risk of serious health

conditions.

Here are three simple tips to keep your exercise routine on

track this fall:

• Be committed: Put time into your calendar and commit to

working out.

Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines recommend you achieve

150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity aerobic physical

activity each week, in stretches of 10 minutes or more.

Exercises can include walking, skiing, jogging or interval

training.

• Pace yourself and stay committed: Start off slow and at your

own fi tness level. Also, think about joining a fi tness group or

using a “buddy system” to stay motivated.

• Do what you love: Find an activity that you love. If you love to

play hockey, join a team and get active a few days a week. Also,

enlist a friend or loved one to exercise with. You can motivate

each other and hold each other accountable for your goals.

Families that play together . . . Childhood obesity is on the rise.

Research studies show that more than half of Canadian children and youth are not active enough for optimal growth and development, with girls less active than

boys.

The latest Canadian Community Health Survey found the combined rate of children and teens who are overweight or obese has jumped from 15 per cent to 26 per

cent over the span of just 25 years.

Being active and including fruits and vegetables as part of a balanced diet can help improve and maintain weight.

Here are some activities that you and your children can do together this fall:

• Walk with your children to school.

• Let your children help you rake the leaves and see who can make the biggest pile.

• Make sure they are registered for physical activity at school or participate in extracurricular activities.

• Get the kids involved in your meals and enjoy some of their favourite dishes together, including pasta, burgers and tacos.

ACCEPTINGACCEPTINGNEW PATIENTSNEW PATIENTS

Using your head wiselyThere are times when we can feel overwhelmed by events that surround us.

In sport, in business and in life generally, we are often used to having peaks and

troughs, busy times and crazy-busy times. We can have days when we wish

time would stand still to give us a break from the craziness we fi nd

ourselves in.

Then come the quiet days, sometimes, when we draw in

our breath and do whatever we can to recharge ready for

the next onslaught.

Problem:

This feeling of being overwhelmed can produce

within us a sense of being pulled in many directions.

We can become stressed, tired, mentally and

physically exhausted, and unable to connect with

the peace of mind we all deserve to have on a daily

basis. We might feel unable to generate focus, to have

quiet confi dence and feel like we are not in control. It can

aff ect how well we do a job if we are constantly reminding

ourselves of how many other demands there are on our time.

Education:

While we cannot command this peak and trough cycle totally, we can change how

we react to having way more on our plate at one time than we want.

How do we do that? We can fi rst make a conscious choice to fi nd “a place of command”.

We can practise fi nding a place of perspective from which we are far more able to direct

the pushes and pulls of our business, sport, and life — and weather the peaks and the

troughs with equanimity.

My Tip:

Consciously practise reframing your perspective on challenges by making the

decision to be the chessmaster rather than the pawn moving at the whim of others.

Take a step back from the situation so you can perceive the situation more clearly.

Imagine there’s another “you” in the top corner of the room, surveying the situation “you

down below” are in.

The “top you” is getting a diff erent perspective fi guratively and

mentally. It can see more clearly the overall situation, the wood for

the trees, more of the chess game. From this wider perspective,

you can learn the habit of dissociation, the habit of taking

a step back and getting a clearer view of the situation

in a challenge. This was something I practised long

before I ever had to make use of it — and useful it

was.

Learning

There is a diff erence between being “the cause”

of what occurs in your life/business or “the eff ect”

of what takes place within it. Being the cause

is achieved by taking responsibility for making

change and moving forward. Being the eff ect is

allowing yourself to be subject to the situation in which

you fi nd yourself. It’s far easier to be at “cause” if you can have a clearer

perspective. Quiet confi dence, self-control and focus are available to those who take

action. By changing perspective, we change our lives. Enjoy your changes today.

Eat your greens!A recent study from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has confi rmed

the nutritional benefi ts are the same whether the food is grown with, or without,

the help of pest control products.

Even more importantly, the study asserts that eating fresh produce is imperative

to good health. In fact, it is estimated that approximately 20,000 cases of cancer

could be prevented each and every year if people would increase their daily intake

of fruits and vegetables.

A lifetime of swimming Babies love water play.

Splashing, singing and playing in the water, starting at six months of age,

will encourage babies to enjoy an aquatic environment.

If a toddler has had positive experience with parents or caregivers, he/she

will have a boost in learning future swim skills.

All children should to learn to swim.

Canadians are surrounded by water and swimming is an important

lifesaving skill.

Each year, many children drown because they are not supervised

appropriately or they do not have basic survival skills in the water.

Active agers often need a form of exercise that is joint friendly.

Swimming and aquatic exercise classes are non/low impact which will

improve overall fitness.

Social time is important, too. Many adults and seniors join masters swim

clubs or have a regular routine of swimming with a friend, followed by tea or

coffee after workout time.

Families can enjoy affordable leisure activities at their local pools.

Swimming together will promote security and confidence for youngsters.

Quality time is important for a busy family and physical activity at a public

swim will help kids and their parents stay strong and fit.

Feeling stressed out? Massage it out of your system

Stress is defi ned as any physical, physiological or

psychological force that disturbs equilibrium.

In other words, stress, in relation to our bodies, is

any internal or external force that is disruptive to our

internal or external balance.

External forces are sometimes a little easier to

recognize and, therefore ,easier to deal with, but

internal sources are not always so easy to see.

Hans Selye, an expert on stress said: “We are on

guard against external toxicants, but hormones are

parts of our bodies. It takes more wisdom to recognize

and overcome the foe which fi ghts from within.

“In all our actions throughout the day, we must

consciously look for signs of being keyed up too much

and we must learn to stop in time.”

Some common stress symptoms that can help us

recognize when we are stressed are: General irritability;

hyper-excitation; depression; impulsive behaviour;

emotional instability; inability to concentrate; weakness;

dizziness; fatigue; intermittent anxiety; grinding your

teeth; insomnia; migraine or tension headaches; and

nightmares.

There are many more signs and symptoms of stress,

and not everyone will react the same way to the same

stressor. Stress proportionality is essential in keeping a

body and soul healthy physically and emotionally.

Sometimes energies need to be diverted.

For example, if you think too much ,you may

benefi t from using your larger muscles, or conversely if

you exercise too much, you should make time to read,

watch a movie or listen to some soothing music.

Regardless of which way you lean, rest is always a

requirement. If you don’t rest, your body may become

ill and you will be forced to rest.

Proactive health care can help maintain a balanced

healthy body.

Massage therapy is an eff ective tool to help

maintain this balance. It has been linked to changes in

physiological factors, including a reduction in cortisol,

which is the hormone associated with stress.

Massage will also increase oxytocin, a hormone

that regulates calmness and healing, lead to alteration

of brainwave patterns (which allows for increased

concentration) and result in a reduction of heart rate.

Stress is undeniably unavoidable and will eventually

catch up to us all if we don’t fi nd ways of handling it

eff ectively.

Sources of stress attack us from all angles but, luckily,

we have many tools that help to bring harmony back to

our lives.

Massage Therapy is just one of many tools which can

be added to our proactive health-care kit.

Embrace the Hakomi MethodAs I accept that autumn is indeed on its way, I begin to prepare for the waning light by

nesting, organizing and stocking up on healthy foods from the harvest.

I also turn inward. I notice this is the time of year I want to make commitments to my

health and my creative projects. I notice in this shift toward myself is that I am impatient

with the transition and with my progress. I want it all to happen now — and that can

create frustration.

I can watch this happening and that is one of the gifts I’ve learned on my Hakomi

path. Instead of reacting without realizing what is happening, and ending up in a cycle

of frustration and impatience, I am able to watch my actions.

The Hakomi Method slows things down so we can study ourselves in relation to the

world around us. Being hijacked by our habits or beliefs can leave us in a cycle of actions

and reactions that are unhealthy and cause needless suff ering.

The self-discovery Hakomi off ers is a gentle, playful and insightful way of fi nding out

who we are so we may celebrate ourselves and also make space to change what isn’t

working for us.

Embodying a new way of being can have a deep, long-lasting impact on our lives.

As the new habit is practised in daily life, the new neural pathway gets more travelled

and is easier to fi nd, while the old neural pathway (old habit) “grows over” and is no

longer the immediate choice. This idea alone is very powerful. We can embody a new

pattern, change our brains, live life more freely. Consciousness is choice and choice is

freedom. Hakomi is a method of assisted, mindful self discovery so that we may have less

suff ering, more freedom, more happiness.
