IDEAL TEMPERATURE TO FLOOD YOUR RINKAlthough -15 C may not be an ideal temperature for the average person, for us Canadians it's perfect for flooding our backyard rinks. If the temperature hits -10 to -15, snow or shine, day or night, get out and flood your rink!

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUEYou will need to flood the rink a couple of times and resurface from time to time before it's fit for a game of pick-up. If you take time to flood you rink, the ice quality vastly improves.

Get out there and do as Canadians do: make the best backyard rink around! To learn more about the best outerwear to keep you warm on the ice, visit marks.com. THN

www.newscanada.com

INVEST IN A QUALITY PLASTIC LINERMake sure to invest in an ultra-white liner to help keep your ice as cold as possible by reflecting the UV rays away from the ice. A good liner makes winter maintenance and spring clean-up easier.

THE PERFECT WINTER HOSENo one likes a cracked, frozen hose especially on a cold winter day. You want to choose a hose that can withstand the cold winter. But, keep in mind - even the most heavy-duty hose shouldn't be left outside between floods or it will freeze.

EQUIP YOURSELF WITH THE PROPER OUTERWEARA good pair of boots and the perfect parka are the ideal clothing items when exposing yourself to the frigid elements. Parkas like the Helly Hansen Berg Quilted Jacket from Mark's provides protection against the wind with its sturdy outer shell.

anada and hockey are synonymous. Hockey is our iconic sport and outdoor rinks take us back to our childhood days. So, why not embrace those memories along with the cold, frigid air and enjoy all that winter has to offer by building your own rink? Here are five tips to help you get out there and create the perfect ice pad for a game of shinny. »C

seasonal

s if seasonal flu and cold bugs weren't enough, many of us experience more frequent headaches in the winter.

Extreme temperatures may be to blame. If you always feel worse before a storm or temperature drop, there's a reason. Changes in weather shift the atmospheric pressure, and we experience this variation physically.

Darkness is a factor, too. When our skin is deprived of sunlight, production of vitamin D drops, potentially triggering migraines. Lack of sunlight also inhibits the production of serotonin. When this feel-good hormone dips, we can experience depression and anxiety; both are risk factors for headaches.

Sinus headaches can be caused by infection and irritation, either from the congestion of a common cold or simply the dry, indoor air.

Others experience headaches brought on by tension. When stress peaks, we sometimes feel it as a dull, aching pain or pressure across the forehead, or at the sides and back of the head.

A

Whatever the cause, you don't need to take winter headaches lying down.

TRY THESE TIPS:

SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE PROBLEMAs often as possible, get outside. Expose your face to the sun, especially in the morning. The intensity of morning sun kicks-off serotonin production. When indoors, find a sunny perch. Even indirect natural sunlight appears to lower stress and pain.

TAP INTO NATURAL PAIN-RELIEFYour body has built-in mechanisms for reducing pain, but you need to give it the raw ingredients. Magnesium, for one, plays a major role in regulating pain. Most people don't get enough of this essential mineral in their diets. Magnesium helps to produce vitamin D and serotonin, relax muscles and blood vessels, prevent tension and increase oxygen flow to the brain. It also reduces the inflammation that causes sinus headaches. If you decide to supplement, look for a highly-absorbable form like the magnesium citrate found in Natural Calm. »

BOOST YOUR IMMUNITYPrevent congestion by building your resilience. A healthy diet is essential, and so is sleep. Even when you're feeling well, make rest a priority as a preventative measure. If you don't sleep well, again, you may be low in magnesium. THN
