At a recent wellness conference I used some images when I talked during my presentation with the audience about how there is a difference in how each country’s government  promotes health and wellness. One example, I mentioned is the comparison of my experience of having lived in Canada and France. Unlike currently in Canada (correct me please if I am wrong) in France on the television when you see media advertisements on food you see at the bottom of the screen messages encouraging you to eat fruits and vegetables, move your body and not snack between meals.

Recently, when we bought bread at a French bakery the fresh bread was given to us in the bag photographed above. The bag is given free to the bakery because it is a publicity for the item you can in the picture.

Assuming my french translation is correct on the first image you can see at the bottom a note that reads ‘Pour votre Santé, évitez de grignoter enter les repas” which means “for your health, avoid snacking between meals”.

The second image shows a note on the bag that reads ‘Pour votre Santé, mangez au moins cinq fruit et legumes par jour” which translated means “for your health eat no less than five fruits and vegetables each day”.

All the best,

David

I am just sharing this with you. I am not sure if it is a good idea since there is already scientific controversy over the possible negative impact of having electromagnetic devices like cellular / portable phones close to the body. The impact of wearing wired clothing on the body is a whole other or similar issue.
What do you think?

P.S. I thought I would do some research to see what is already on the market. I did find a wearable mini cam recorder that fits in your shirt pocket (you could record your day with this!) Check out how small it is by going to  Wearable Video Camera.

In addition, I found a Mini Wearable Travel Air Purifier for less than 20 us dollars – I never knew this existed. It is so light apparently you can wear it around your neck.

However, I did not find any clothing for sale just a book called New Nomads: An Exploration of Wearable Electronics but maybe the clothing will be available soon…

For example, for some people a food or drink with caffeine can give them a welcome healthy boost of alertness. For some people the same amount of caffeine can give them unwelcome jitters and make them feel ill. In case you missed the news release this year Health Canada has now approved usage of Caffeine in Non-cola drinks in Canada. I have shared this information in person with clients and seminar attendees but just in case you did not know Here is the Health Canada statement. Note in the article Health Canada is quoted as saying  ” Similar levels of caffeine are currently allowed in non-cola soft drinks in many other jurisdictions, including the United States and Europe”.

Apparently, labelling changes by drink manufactors will not be mandated but encouraged. So if you have a negative reaction to caffeine best do some extra research before you open your favourite canned or bottle drink in the future.

Worth noting is Health Canada also has a healthy living article which contains information on how to balance your diet to  help offset the negative impact of Caffeine on bone health.

If you are looking for ideas on how to Simplify Your Healthy Eating Habits you can follow this link and check out this workbook that is designed to help you do just that. It is filled with simple instructions you can follow rapidly to help you be clear on what is a balanced meal and what is not.

Best Wishes,
