For the month of August the Well.ca staff of our Toronto office are entering into a friendly competition to increase their fitness! With the help of Health and Fitness Specialist Andi McHugh they have set personal goals which they will work towards over the next week. McHugh will be guiding and offering advice to help them reach their targets.
Studies have shown that your physical fitness is linked to the fitness of those around you. This makes teaming up with coworkers, friends and family a great way to keep focused. Working together means making changes is easier. Fewer donuts and more skim milk is already having an impact on the office!
Of course, Well.ca has many great products for helping you attain your health and fitness goals! Check out below for just a sampling!
According to Yale University Clinical Professor of Medicine Dr. Marvin Moser, hypertension, i.e. high blood pressure, affects 2 out of 3 of those over 75 years old. Thus it is important that you periodically check your loved one’s blood pressure to ensure it is normal, or if your loved one has been diagnosed with hypertension, you should check to make sure the condition hasn’t gotten worse. And this product, which is recommended by the Canadian Hypertension Society, makes it easy to notice variations; it records the most recent 30 readings you’ve taken with the machine and even averages them. It makes your life easier; there’s no need to record your loved one’s blood pressure every time you take it and you’ll always be able to find the recordings because they’re in the machine!
