Healthy Leg Day, Thursday, February 24th

Varicose veins are enlarged bulging veins with purple or blue colouring that are commonly found on the backs of calves or on the inside of the leg. They usually cause aching or swelling in the legs and are unsightly to look at. In serious cases, varicose veins can lead to complications such as dermatitis, skin ulcers and blood clotting.

Women are more likely to have varicose veins than men. Some other factors that cause varicose veins are pregnancy, obesity, long periods of standing, menopause, and aging.

Join us for our Healthy Leg Day on Thursday, February 24th from 10am until 1pm. You'll get to sit down with a vein specialist to assess your condition and answer any question you may have about keeping your legs healthy. This clinic is FREE! Hurry up and register. Spaces are limited.

Diabetes Diet and Lifestyle Clinic, November 6th

There are two types of diabetes, but the most common is Type 2. The way it works is that your pancreas releases insulin in your body, which moves glucose (blood sugar) into your cells so you can produce energy. Type 2 diabetics have a resistance to insulin. Their cells keep demanding insulin, so their pancreas keeps making more. People with type 2 diabetes not only have too much insulin in the bloodstream, they have also developed high levels of blood sugar, a condition known as hyperglycemia.

Most people diagnosed with diabetes are overweight, but it is possible for thin people to develop the disease.
If you are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, it's good to know that with proper attention and care, you can live a long and active life. Diabates can be man aged. It's important to monitor your blood sugar level regularly.

All About Health Remedy'sRx is conducting a Diabetes Diet and Lifestyle Clinic on Saturday, November 6th. You get to sit down one-on-one with a certified Diabetes Educator who is also Registered Dietitian. We are also giving away lots of goodies to help you manage your condition. Make sure you come visit us for details.

Celiac Screening Clinic, October 20th

Celiac disease is a problem with digesting gluten. Gluten comes from grains like wheat, barley, and rye and is found in bread, crackers and pasta. With Celiac disease, your immune system harms your small intestine when you eat these foods. This makes it hard for you to absorb nutrients that keep you healthy such as vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrate and fats.

Symptoms of celiac disease include

• gas and bloating
• changes in bowel movements
• weight gain or loss
• feeling tired
• weakness

All About Health Remedy'sRx is conducting a Celiac Screening Clinic on Wednesday, October 20th starting at 11 am. There are only limited spaces available. Don't wait! Get tested! See store for details.
