3 self-care rituals to create a feel-good routine

We can all use more quality time for ourselves. Here are three easy self-care practices for any day of the week.

• Try incorporating yoga into your daily routine. Doing something active for your mind and your body

has a multitude of health and wellness benefits, from relieving stress and anxiety to increasing strength and flexibility.

• Making choices to create a healthy work-life balance is another way to care for yourself and your wellbeing. Learn to set limits by saying no when work time demands are too high. Shorten your to-do list and delegate or cut any extra tasks. By setting limits and boundaries, you can improve your relationship with yourself and your loved ones.

• Winding down before bed is a great time to transform your daily skin routine into a self-care ritual. “When applying a serum or moisturizer, try using a facial roller to turn this nightly routine into a relaxing massage,” says Chanel Cruz, a Shoppers beauty pro. This simple step can help ease muscle tension, decrease puffiness, and stimulate blood flow. Always roll upwards and in one direction – under the jawline, under and along the cheekbone and upwards on the forehead. ■

is cooking a source of air pollution in your home?

Regardless of your ability to create a delicious meal, cooking can affect indoor air quality and have an impact on your health.

Whether you cook on a gas or electric stove, cooking creates small particles from heating oil, fat and other food ingredients, especially at high temperatures.

In addition to particles, gas burners produce carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and formaldehyde. Meanwhile, electric burners release a lot of ultrafine particles in the air.

Exposure to these particles and pollutants can cause or worsen a

wide range of health problems such as eye, nose or throat irritation, headaches, fatigue, wheezing and coughing. Young children and people with asthma, other respiratory issues and heart or lung diseases are especially vulnerable.

To reduce health risks, be sure to use the range hood exhaust fan while cooking and follow these tips:

• Always turn the exhaust fan on when using any stove burner.

• Use the highest setting on your exhaust fan, especially when cooking something that can produce smoke or odours, such as frying, sautéing or grilling.

• Cook on back burners if possible, because the range hood exhausts this area more effectively.

• Make sure your range hood exhaust fan vents to the outdoors.

If you don’t have a range hood exhaust fan, you may want to consider installing one or improving the air quality of your home in other ways, such as opening windows, running a central heating or cooling fan, or running a portable air cleaner while cooking.

trimming food waste in the kitchen

Wasting food isn’t just careless and uneconomical – it also adds carbon dioxide emissions to the environment. Over half of all food produced in Canada is lost or wasted, which adds up to over $1,700 per household according to Second Harvest. To help you cut back, save money and help the planet, check out these tips:

shop smart

Look for recyclable or compostable products and packaging. “Consumers have a significant impact by choosing environmentally conscious products,” explains Dr. Calvin Lakhan, waste management expert. “For example, the 100% compostable coffee pods from Maxwell House have entirely sustainable components

– the pod and pod bag are both fully compostable and the outer carton is 100 per cent recyclable. It’s a simple one-step process that makes a big difference and provides an alternative to single-serve pods, leaving zero waste for the consumer.”

preserve smart

With physical distancing guidelines in place for the last few months, most of us have been spending more time at home and picking up new hobbies. While gardening and sourdough baking were early hits, now is a good time to try your hand at a variety of preservation techniques including canning, pickling, drying and fermenting. Learning to safely preserve foods at home can help you take advantage of fresh, local produce when it’s

in season, try new recipes and flavours, and stock your pantry and freezer with ready-made meals for last-minute timesavers.

store smart

One of the main ways we waste food is by having it expire before we get a chance to use it. To help avoid this, learn how to store different items – what goes in the fridge, what goes out, what goes in the pantry. For example, treat fresh herbs like flowers and set them upright in water to extend their shelf life. Items like dairy and fresh meat are best kept in the lower shelf of your fridge, not the door which varies in temperature and is often warmer.

Check your local grocery stores for the 100 per cent compostable coffee pods. ■
