Whey Protein

[Read More]

Are You Taking Protein For Granted? by Elaine Munro, an active businesswoman and training athlete, who conducts seminars focusing on active lifestyle & healing nutrition, as well as raising consumer awareness about the natural health industry. The word ‘protein’ comes from the Greek root, ‘proteios’, meaning ‘fundamental’ or ‘primary importance’. From the context of human health, it should be a fundamental part of any health improving strategy. Proteins range from muscle tissue to skin, bones, and hair. These are the more obvious ‘structural proteins’. There is also a huge range of ‘subtle proteins’ that are generally overlooked such as blood hemoglobin, brain fluids, your super immune booster known as glutathione and even the structure of your DNA, to name just four. In all, there are more than 500,000 types of protein in the human body. Everyone needs protein; not just athletes. At a basic health-maintenance level, a general guideline is... [Read More]

What is Signature Cell Healing? by Sharon Taphorn, Vancouver, BC [Workshops]
The Signature Cell is housed within the Pineal gland, (located near the center of the brain between the two hemispheres); it is formed when female egg and the male sperm fertilize each other. Originally, the Signature Cell begins as one cell, and then it breaks itself into all the different cells that make up the body. Every cell in the body is replicated from the Signature Cell, and each cell has a memory of its perfection, which it never forgets. You can integrate Signature Cell Healing Techniques into your daily life and into your existing healing practice.[...Read More]

Find out what your pet likes and dislikes. More info

Craig has spent 20 years studying with the French masters at Samur in France, his methods are 18th century when Equitation was considered an art form. The horses are trained by learning to balance and be in self carriage, and no restraints or force is used. As the rider develops the understanding and ability to communicate more clearly, the movements improve-- but rather than learning tricks to mask mistakes, riders learn what they are doing that is producing the mistake and how to ride with such clarity that the movements become fluid, light, and precise.

What's New?

LIGHTS OUT FOR SORCO? Owl Rehab Center.

SORCO is within a few weeks of hanging up a, “Gone Out of Business” sign and turning out the lights. It is not the departure of Sherri Klein that is the cause but the inability of SORCO to attract enough committed volunteers to fill the Board of Directors and the positions that have become available under a new governance plan adopted in 2007. If by SORCO’s AGM at the end of May not enough volunteers have come forward, there will be no other choice than to dissolve the Society. When that happens, the Okanagan will lose a nationally known conservation organization. As a non-profit organization, SORCO cannot operate without a Board of Directors and the new CEO, Ken Fujino, cannot work by himself. We are asking for and needing a minimum of twenty new volunteers, six to be directors and twelve to man the four committees created under the new governance plan. For twenty-one years SORCO has distinguished itself among B.C.’s environmental organizations. Its performance has enabled the Society to access corporate and gaming grants and public donations. SORCO’s long term vision has been to raise the funds to construct a fully equipped modern clinic for the treatment of sick and injured raptors. Although we have a capable CEO in place, accessing funds cannot take place without the partnership of volunteers from the South Okanagan to maintain Society status. If you would like to volunteer or serve on the Board phone Bruce Malczewski, SORCO President, at 498-8422

New dates:
Cranio Sacral Reflexology
Basic course is now on November 13 & 14 and to be followed by the
Advanced Course on 15 & 16.
Dr. Martine Faure-Alderson is coming to the OKanagan, BC from England.
Introduction, Embryology/CNS/Automatic Nervous System, Cranial Movement / Membranes / Lesions of CRI, CSF Fluid, General Cranio Sacral Treatment, The Cranial Nerves. Cranio sacral is the name given to the approach to osteopathy developed by Dr Sutherland 100 years ago. He saw how the bone structure of the skull permitted slight motion and noted that restriction of normalmotion due to injury, trauma or disease could affect health. The cranial osteopath works gently with the bones in the skull and associated bodily systems to remedy such conditions. The Reflexologist can achieve the same result by combining an understanding of cranio-sacral therapy with conventional reflexology, since the bones of the feet reflect the skull and sacrum exactly. See Reflexology page

 

 

Healthy Tips

Cranberry Juice - Compounds in cranberry juice are said to help prevent and relieve attacks of cystitis (bladder infections) by preventing bacteria attaching to cell in bladder walls and in the urinary tract. Look out for cranberry juice that has no added sugar and avoid the cranberry juice drinks, which are sweetened with sugar. A small glass of cranberry juice counts as one portion of the recommended 5 a day.

Bananas - Bananas are easy to eat fruit! The average banana contains 95 calories which makes them a good snack choice, it will fill the hunger gap until the next meal. For a pudding, make your own banana split with a scoop of ice cream and sprinkle of home made granola.

Cauliflower - By being encouraged to eat brightly coloured vegetables you could be forgiven for dismissing the humble cauliflower as nutritionally pointless. But a serving, about 3 florets, has 25mg vitamin C (more than half an adults daily requirement) and is packed with anti-cancer compounds like glucosinolates.

Dried Fruit - Dried fruit is a convenient option and alternative to fresh fruit. Dried fruit provides fibre and several vitamins and mineral. It is easy to carry with you as a quick and easy snack. Add dried fruit to salad, pancake batter, home baked bread and cereal to count towards your five a day.

Acai - (pronounced ah-sah-ee) These purple super healthy berries are the new super-food. Acai berries are native to Brazil and are low in calories and contain fibre, vitamins and twice the antioxidants of blueberries. They are available as a frozen pulp at some supermarkets.

Pine nuts - Pine nuts are small edible seeds of pine trees and are high in protein, calcium and magnesium. Use pine nuts to make your own pesto. Roasted pine nuts add nutritional value and zest to any salad.

Sweet potatoes - Traditionally sweet potatoes are a winter vegetable; nowadays they're around all year on the shelves. Packed with antioxidants such as beta-carotene, they provide plenty of lasting energy being lower GI than regular potatoes. Add sweet potatoes to soups, curries or simply serve them mashed. Sweet potatoes go well with flavours like garlic and herbs.
