how to eat

for a healthier body and planet

I

t’s always nice when a win in one area of your life leads to another win – and that’s exactly what happens when you make eco-friendly food choices.

Your body benefits from more nutritious meal ingredients, while the impact to the planet is minimized thanks to sustainable growing and production processes. Here are some tips to help you get started:

grow your own produce garden Long shipping distances contribute to higher carbon emissions, so the closer to home your food is grown the better for the environment. And what could be closer than your own backyard? Spinach, strawberries and bell peppers are some of the easier things to grow. If you lack space, even growing your own herbs in a small windowsill can make a difference. Or check out a community garden.

4Rent.ca

March 12–April 9, 2022

choose sustainable wines It can be easy to focus on choosing sustainable local produce and

forget about the other items that go into a meal, like condiments and even wine. There are plenty of Canadian wineries leading the way with green processes, like using

11

energy-efficient lighting and capturing rainwater for reuse. Whether it’s for drinking or cooking, do some digging to find a sustainable local vineyard for your wine.

research brands before buying We can’t grow everything we eat at home, so whenever you’re grocery shopping, do your research and choose products from

companies doing their part for the environment. For example, Bimbo Canada, the country’s largest and oldest commercial bakery behind popular brands like Villaggio, has strong sustainability practices. In the last year alone, it’s saved more than four million units of waste from landfills and is on track with its carbon footprint reduction goals to reduce environmental impact by 2025. ■

easy lifestyle habits for

better brain health W

hen it comes to keeping your brain healthy, it’s not just about doing puzzles or brain teasers like crosswords and sudoku. While it may be fun to try the latest apps or pass the time with a puzzle, there are many healthy habits that are easy to add in your everyday routine that will keep your brain healthy.

In fact, studies show that most of the habits you do to keep your body healthy are good for your brain too and can help reduce your risk of developing dementia.

Here are a few examples of healthy habits that can help reduce your risk: • Get enough sleep – that’s about seven to nine hours for healthy adults

• Challenge your brain – learn how to play a new musical instrument or study a new language • Be physically active – 30 minutes a day is all it takes • Connect with other people – organize a virtual coffee date • Reduce or manage stress – try an online meditation class • Eat a well-balanced diet – set a goal of one new healthy recipe each week • Avoid smoking and reduce alcohol consumption • Protect your head to avoid brain injuries – wear a helmet when cycling, skiing or skating There are many simple ways you can help keep your brain healthy – practice a variety of them to keep your whole self in shape.

how to use a budget to build financial resilience

T

he world we live can be complex and challenging.

One way to stay on top of things is to develop your money management skills to keep up with your bills and financial commitments.

needs vs. wants Knowing the difference between your needs and your wants is key to making a smart budget. A “need” is something that is essential, such as food or a roof over your head. A “want” is something that you’d like, but don’t necessarily need. This can include, for example, a meal at a restaurant, a vacation or designer shoes.

4Rent.ca

March 12–April 9, 2022

Remember that needs and wants can differ from one person to another. Once you’ve sorted out what your needs and wants are, you’re ready to start your budget.

Develop your money management skills to keep up with your bills and financial commitments

getting started To create a good budget, you need an effective tool. The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada has an online budget planner that’s easy to use.

The first step is to outline your income and monthly expenses. As you’re entering your numbers, the budget planner gives you tips about how to save more and/or spend less and helps you figure out if you will

have money left or if you’re overspending.

This information, in turn, will show you how to better manage your day-to-day finances and spend your money wisely. This is a powerful way to build financial resilience and lower your stress levels.

moving with dogs

BY CHUCK RESNICK

M

oving can be one of the most stressful events in life, so why should that be any different for your dog?

Here are 10 tips on how to prepare your dog:

10. never place them in moving trucks Under no circumstances should you place your dog in the back of a moving truck. Even safely tucked in a well-ventilated pet travel carrier, the truck is almost always hot (even in winter) and of course, the doors are closed.

Dogs crave the attention of strangers and can create obstacles which will impede the move.

7. pack lots of treats Have dog treats on hand for move day to keep him or her quiet. It’s also good way to get your dog to listen and obey. And, it’s a great idea to have water and nutritious human treats for your movers as well.

6. pack a separate box of your pet’s toys Once at your new home, your dog may be frightened of the new surroundings, so, having familiar playthings ready will reduce stress levels.

the best way to get your dog ready, more relaxed and calm for when the movers arrive. Depending on your dog’s age and size, draining his or her energy level may not be easy, so plan frequent walks. I know that a 30-minute walk barely makes a dent in our dog’s energy level.

2. use “mess” breaks Make sure you let your pet out for “mess” breaks. Nothing will ruin your moving day experience more than a ‘surprise’ from your dog inside your new abode. Keep him or her on your property to avoid making a bad first impression on your neighbours.

‘If your dog will 1. have fun be around during 5. let your movers Moving into new digs is a time know to expect fi do the move, let your If your dog will be around durto celebrate. Have the movers take movers know ahead of time. You’d be ing the move, let your movers know a pictur of you, your family and surprised how many ahead of time. You’d be surprised your dog in your new home. What a p rfec rf e t reminder reeminder of the day da ay you you just just perfect men are afraid of how many men are afraid of dogs.s. pe i shar sh ared ed.

Whether large or small animals, it shared.

■ dogs.’ vdoesn’t matter. Also, there are movers that are allergic to dogs.

9. make a doggy date

4. don’t ignore them

Your dog will most likely want to play with the movers and probably everyone else, so take him or her to a kennel, dog spa or have a friend or relative dog sit at their home, before the movers arrive. Those will be the best places for your furry friend; then you can devote your total attention to your moving activities.
