How to reduce stress in your household this school year.

LET’S GET BACK TO ROUTINE!

We hope that everyone has adjusted back to a routine this month. Whether you or your kids have gone back to school, or your summer holidays have ended, or if you’re like me and start to transition from a fast and go with the flow summer into a slow and routine based fall, I hope you are all finding your groove. Now, during this transition, many things change and they change for the better. We start prioritizing a daily routine, adequate sleeping habits, maybe we get back into a workout routine or start craving different foods, like warm soups and stews. I think it is important to pay attention to these changes and make sure they make you feel good, mentally and physically. I also think it’s important to pay attention to your stress levels. Stress is a very common topic here on the podcast, and it likely always will be because it affects everyone. Whether you are a senior, parent, a student or a child, stress is something we’ve all faced at some point in our life. As we progress through the school year, identifying and managing stress can be supportive for our immune system, mental health and general overall wellness. For today’s episode we’ve asked our favourite pharmacist, Cyrus Kuhzarani to join us on the podcast again to chat more about how you can keep the entire family calm this school year!

We've all been there. You set a goal for yourself to work out more but you can't seem to get into the routine. The workouts might be too hard or you might not have the energy for it. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that at least 1 in 4 adults do not get enough physical activity. If you're inactive, you carry a 20% to 30% greater risk of premature death compared to more active lifestyles. If you have trouble finding the time or energy to work out, VILPA may be a solution for you.

Who run the world? Girls! March is Women's History Month, and March 8th is International Women’s Day. What better time than this to lift up the women around us! Because of the entrepreneurial courage of our founder Jo Anne & the continued efforts of our now owners & team (which is over 80% women), we have been serving Peterborough & The Kawarthas for over 45 years! We are thankful not only for the amazing women in our team, but for the meaningful connections we have made with so many inspiring women in our community. It is important to us to continue fostering an environment where women feel safe, supported & inspired. We are excited to look to the future and continue to evolve to meet the needs of our community.
