Why? The field of Ergonomics plays a key role in injury prevention but even the best ergonomic set up will not allow workers to stay in the same position indefinitely. Our bodies rely on muscle contraction and relaxation as well as regular joint movement to stay healthy and efficiently coordinated. By analyzing your work station, your work demands and your pre-existing posture we can provide you with an at work postural health program that is designed to increase your comfort. Everyone is more productive when they are comfortable. Eating well is a part of a healthy lifestyle, for both people with diabetes and people without diabetes. For people with diabetes, improving your eating habits can help reduce blood sugar levels, reduce A1C (a measure of blood sugar) by 1 ­ 2% and help reduce some long term complications of diabetes. Carbohydrates, which are transformed into glucose (sugar) are our most important source of energy for the brain and muscles and so are essential at every meal and must not be avoided. In addition to carbohydrates, proteins and fats are also essential to a healthy diet. Thirdly, portion size is also important. A general rule is: vegetables occupy half the plate, protein is one quarter of the plate and carbohydrates are the other quarter of the plate. Not only is it important, but quality as well and that means making healthy, nutritious food choices such as choosing foods high in fiber and low in fat and sodium and limiting intake of soft drinks, candies and chips. It is also important to eat 3 meals a day at regular hours (4 to 6 hours apart) with a snack in between, if necessary. A dietitian can assess your eating habits to better understand your needs and also help you understand the role of food in the control of diabetes. Q: A: 905-455-6677 I have been separated from my husband for several months but we still live in the same house. I want to buy another house but someone told me my husband could claim one-half of it? Is this true? If you and your husband have decided to separate you would be considered to be living separate and apart in the matrimonial home. Any assets you acquire after your separation are your assets and your husband can not claim an interest in them. The new house would be your asset. Be careful though, as you will likely not be able to obtain a mortgage unless you have a Separation Agreement and have divided your property and settled other financial issues such as support. The bank will require a copy of your Separation Agreement before they will advance you the money for your new house. 905-702-7891 I woke up feeling like the room was spinning around me. When I saw the doctor he diagnosed me with BPPV. What is this and how can I fix it? Why is diet important when I have diabetes? Q: A: Q: A: BPPV stands for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. It is a very common problem of the inner ear and can easily be treated by a trained professional. Crystals that are normally contained in a sac in the inner ear can become dislodged and float into the semi circular canals. Here, they stimulate sensors inappropriately and give the sensation of "spinning", or VERTIGO. There are several reasons why this may occur, including head injury, ear infections, stress and age. The treatment consists of gentle positional changes of the head which will guide the crystals back into their proper location. If done properly, relief should be immediate and only 1-2 treatments should be required.
