OAKVILLE BEAVER Saturday, April 11, 2009 · 14 HEALTH AND WELLNESS Tilleys and Birks add to a healthy lifestyle Why go through life in pain if you don't have to? These are words that Head Over Heels owner Dave Wolaniuk lives by. Dave promotes healthy living through the products he sells at his store. "We sell Tilley Endurables and Birkenstock shoes," he explains. "Both products add to a healthy lifestyle." Tilley Endurables the finest hats and travel clothing in the world are designed for travel, machine washable and hold a lifetime guarantee. Tilley hats have an extra health benefit within them as well, as they boast a certified UPF protection of 50plus. Head Over Heels offers a wide in-stock selection of Birkenstocks for every member of the family. "If we don't have the style or colour you like, we can order straight from the catalogue and your shoes will arrive within a week or two." Created to achieve the greatest comfort when standing and walking, the Birkenstock tradition of quality craftsmanship goes back more than 225 years. Unlike most other types of shoes, Birkenstocks never need to be thrown away. "We can always replace the soles and foot beds of the shoes," Dave says. "Birkenstocks are a great replacement to Orthotic shoes," Dave explains. "We strongly suggest that people with hardwood or ceramic floors wear Birkenstocks as slippers to prevent any damage to the feet." Chefs have been known to wear steel-toed kitchen clog Birks, which are also ideal for hospital staff that spend most of their day on their feet. "Bright neon colours are also available," he says. Head Over Heels offers a lot more than just shoes and travel accessories. "We carry a wide variety of other accessories including polishes, insoles, leather belts and laces." The store also offers repairs on almost anything. "We have repaired hockey equipment, shoes, bags and purses; it's better to ask if you can get it fixed than to throw it away." Head Over Heels also does skate sharpening. "We have the best reputations for hockey and figure skate sharpening in Oakville," Dave says.

Migraine or headache? How to know the difference Bills are piling up, your car payments are overdue, and your boss just announced wage cuts across your department. Your head is pounding. You feel nauseous. Is this the start of a tension headache or a full-blown migraine? Tension, cluster and migraine headaches make up the most common types of headaches that people experience. Here's how to tell the difference: Tension Headaches Tension headaches are the most common. They are usually occasional but may be chronic and occur more frequently. They affect both men and women in equal numbers, and are common in children. Cluster Headaches Cluster headaches are rare and can be severe and debilitating. Cluster headaches occur in groups, or "clusters," over a period of weeks to months, followed by a pain-free interval that usually lasts months or even years. Men experience cluster headaches more often than women, and 20 to 40 years olds are the most at-risk age group. Migraine Headaches Migraine headaches are a recurrent headache disorder accompanied by nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light, noise and smell. Migraine headaches are three times more common in women than men, and are most prevalent in adults aged 20 to 50. The good news is they generally become less severe and less frequent with age. Over-the-counter analgesic such Tylenol or Tylenol Migraine Pain Ultra Relief can be used to treat pain associated with mild to moderate migraine pain as they are least likely to interact with other medications. If you are prone to headaches, there are a number of triggers to watch out for, including stress, poor diet, and lack of sleep. The current economic climate and the stress that goes along with financial concerns can certainly have an impact on our bodies. During these challenging times, taking care of your health should be your number one priority. Speak with your doctor if you continue to experience head pain, or if the frequency or severity increases. - News Canada Summer Is Almost Here!
