  • EP 608 – EMS Workers At Risk
    They are true heroes in our public healthcare system. They save lives daily in communities across Canada, US and around the world.
    At some point, many of us may need to rely on the skill and abilities of these EMS workers.
    However, our EMS workers are at risk.
    Funding cuts to healthcare have resulted in increased workloads. They deal with shift-work stress and burnout. And they are at great risk for PTSD.
    When extremely difficult and life-threatening situations are mixed with common everyday stressors, it can be hard to effectively cope.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Emergency Medical Services Week:
    While EMS workers are trained to care for others, when it comes to their own well-being, the training may be lacking.
    If you are an EMS worker, loss of sleep, and not eating on a regular schedule can push you over the edge. Be very focused on ensuring that these basic needs are taken care of.
    Find ways to vent and talk through highly emotional calls. It is tough to manage when you can’t share these situations with your family and friends who are our usual natural supporters, so it is important to make use of colleagues and other workplace resources to manage this stress.
    And finally, to combat burnout, focus on an attitude of gratitude, and increasing your awareness of the positive aspects of your life.

  • EP  606 – What Type of Breakfast Person Are You
    Do you eat breakfast?
    Research found that people who skipped breakfast had a higher risk of obesity, depression and perceived stress. They also found that performance, problem solving skills, and mood are all affected by breakfast consumption.
    What is your approach to breakfast?
    Are you The Pauper, The King and The Maestro?
    The Pauper - These people almost always skip breakfast. They are either too busy, not hungry in the morning, or are on a diet. Or just like the pauper who was given a small piece of bread to eat, these people may eat a doughnut, or a piece of toast and wash it down with coffee or juice
    The King - The ‘feast’ consists of a large quantity of food, including eggs, pancakes with syrup, and sausage.  Though it contains a variety of food groups, it usually is heavy on the carbs and fat and very high in calories, which can lead to obesity, heart disease and diabetes.
    The Maestro - Breakfast is a priority for this group, and so is conducting themselves in healthy way.  They make good choices so that they manage their energy effectively and add the right kinds of foods that promote health and longevity.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Egg Month:
    Make it portable.  If time is an issue, look for things that can be taken on the road such as hard-boiled eggs.
    Make it fun.  Eggs and waffles can be cooked using a variety of shapes to add some fun. 
    Keep it balanced.  Try to cover the basic food groups. 
    Look for variety. Just keep it balanced and don’t get stuck in a rut.

  • EP 605– Reading Opens A Window
    “Reading opens a window to the world; giving us a vision of things we never dreamed possible.”
    Reading for fun has become like a long-lost luxury, especially in this busy age of 24/7.  Relaxation and ‘luxury’ activities are often met with the guilt that we should be doing something worthwhile and productive…not indulging and pampering ourselves.
    One survey found that nearly a third of adults across our country didn’t read a single book for pleasure in the past year. The discouraging figure puts Canadians behind the U.S., where an identical poll showed 27 per cent of Americans hadn’t picked up a book. 
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Reading Is Fun Week:
    Reading can transport us to another time or place.  It stimulates the right side of our brain and can engage our imagination and strengthen our creativity. It can expand our understanding of other cultures, help us to find new ways to express our ideas, and expand our vocabulary.
    Reading forces us to be still and slow down when we are used to running on high-speed.
    Reading can stimulate our emotions and give us an appropriate way to vent out our frustrations, sadness and joy. 
    I have a very hard time limiting my time when I get a really good book.  I have been known to read an entire day (or night) away, just because I couldn’t put the book down. Generally I only start a good book when I am truly able to ignore the phones and my work, like while I am on vacation.

  • EP 604 – Powerful Connections
    I found it very hard and often stressful staying connected to family and friends.  Our lives were too busy and setting up time to connect seemed like a major exercise in the calendar shuffle.
    It wasn’t that I didn’t want to visit with them, it was just that there never seemed to be enough time to do it all. Now we are physically distancing and I would so love to be visiting, even though I am still just as busy.
    I loved visiting my grandma, especially when we would just sit and play cards for a while.  I can still remember the family reunions at the local community center with everyone sitting out on the grass, playing baseball and eating all that amazing food that was set out on the picnic tables, or our Christmases where Santa would come to surprise everyone with a gift or two.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Visit Your Relatives Day:
    Family and friends can provide the support system needed to get us through these hardest of times.
    Visit Your Relatives Day was intended to give us the opportunity to get closer to our relatives, stay connected to family and friends, and to strengthen family ties and relationships. It is still a good day to consider how you are keeping these special connections strong during this time.
    Even though you can’t go and visit them, research suggests that even just viewing photos of family members prompts brain activity that can positively affect how you feel about them and even yourself.

  • EP 603 – Get Your BP Checked
    May is Hypertension Month and health professionals from across Canada are encouraging Canadians to know their numbers to help prevent and control hypertension and avoid its serious and deadly complications.
    Hypertension is the leading preventable cause of death and disability around the world, and can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and dementia. Over 7.5 million Canadians have hypertension, and 7.4 million more have high blood pressure that will lead to hypertension without preventative action.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating World Hypertension Day:
    In those who have hypertension, about 30% is related to increased salt consumption, and about 20% related to low dietary potassium, so chose foods wisely.
    Physical inactivity is related to about 20% of hypertension, so get moving and active.
    Obesity is related to about 30% of hypertension, so keep your weight in check.
    Excess alcohol consumption also causes hypertension, so don’t over-indulge.
    Being tobacco free is especially important for people with hypertension.
    High blood pressure often has no symptoms. Most individuals with hypertension are unaware that their blood pressure is high, so get checked and keep your blood pressure in check.
