24 - The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday January 13, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com HEALTH & WELLNESS Oprah Winfrey is right Cold weather safety checklist change your bra and change your life Oprah Winfrey recently dedicated one of her shows to bras and how important it was to wear the right size. She said that by wearing the right bra size and right style of clothing for our body shape, we would soon see a younger and slimmer us. Listen to Oprah she is right. Not only did she boast about the difference of good quality bras compared to some retail brands, she revealed that women will spend countless amounts of dollars on designer clothing, yet refuse to take the same amount of care with their undergarments. Why do many women still choose to buy less quality, ill-fitting bras, when it should be the most important purchase? Just by wearing a proper fitting bra, the transformation to look better begins immediately. The makeover must begin underneath your clothes and when statistics say that 85 per cent of women aren't wearing the right sized bra, that percentage of women could easily be you. A well-fitted bra could make a woman look up to 20 pounds lighter!

As the temperature drops, the risk of illness and injury rises. To protect yourself and loved ones this winter, Sarah Tattersall, cold weather specialist for 3M Canada has these tips: Dress appropriately: Check weather forecasts before heading out -- hypothermia and frostbite can occur quickly, especially among children and seniors. Layering loose fitting, lightweight clothing is the best option. Look for materials with breathable, moisture-resistant Thinsulate insulation for warmth without the bulk. Fight the Flu: Cold and flu germs are easily spread from the hands. Wash or sanitize your hands after touching public objects like handrails or bank machines and after handling money. A hand sanitizer like 3M's Avagard D helps eliminate germs that cause winter viruses. Repel the elements: Water repellent products like Scotchgard create a durable water barrier that repels moisture, snow, dirt and stains to help keep your clothing and sports gear drier, cleaner and looking newer longer. Ideal for winter boots, ski wear, back packs and more. Protect your skin: Cold and dry winter weather can rob your skin of much needed moisture. Products like Nexcare Skin Crack Care are easy to apply and designed to improve the look and feel of dry, itchy and uncomfortable skin. Be seen: Blowing snow and ice, combined with long, dark days substantially reduce visibility. Innovations like Scotchlite reflective material help you to be seen at dawn, dusk, or night, in all weather conditions. Look for outerwear that incorporates this reflective material for outdoor activities like shoveling or even just walking the dog. Slow down: This time of year is synonymous with slipping, tripping and falling. Take your time getting to your destination to avoid a spot on the winter injury list. - News Canada "Lose weight in your own home!" POWER RESULTS PERSONAL TRAINING I will bring the gym to your home!
