4 simple and affordable ways to

stay healthy this fall N

o one wants the discomfort – let alone the hassle – that comes with catching a cold or other illness. But you don’t have to shell out for expensive remedies or shots of ginger or kale smoothies every day to support your immune system or stay healthy. Here are a few affordable steps you can take to safeguard your health. 4Rent.ca November 10–24, 2023

have a laugh

Stress is a major contributor to why and when we get sick. It taxes the immune system and makes it harder to fight off infections. Growing research points to laughter as a powerful medicine that helps reduce stress, lower blood pressure and improve your mood. When we laugh, our body brings in extra oxygen, which lowers our heart rate and stimulates

the parasympathetic nervous system – the opposite of fight-or-flight mode. Basically, it’s like taking deep breaths to calm yourself down, but more enjoyable.

drink up

Staying hydrated is an important tool to keep your body working at its best, especially if you think you might be coming down with some-

get some shut-eye

thing. Water is recommended as best. But as the days cool off a soothing cup of mint, lemon, ginger or fennel tea, may give you a low-cost boost of vitamin C and antioxidants in addition to warmth and a calming, comforting flavour. Stashing a box of teabags at the office or in your kitchen cupboards means they’ll be within easy reach when you need them.

Sleep is like the ultimate no-cost wellness hack, allowing your body to reset and restore itself overnight. Experts generally recommend adults get six to nine hours of sleep a night, but exactly how much each person needs is different. Research also suggests that waking and going to sleep at roughly the same time every day will improve your quality of sleep. Alternatively, a slightly cool room is thought to provide a less disturbed, more restful sleep – so it’s smart to turn down the thermostat a little at night.

get your shots

Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent the flu and the seri-

ous complications you can get from it. And, of course, costs associated with receiving the flu shot are covered by provincial health insurance plans in Canada. This year, you can get the flu shot at the same time as your dose of the latest approved COVID-19 vaccine. In fact, that’s what’s recommended by Health Canada. While it’s never too late to get them, the sooner the better so that your body can build up immunity before the season peaks. You can get your flu vaccine and COVID-19 shot at most local pharmacies, including Rexall. You can walk in or book an appointment online at rexall.ca/flu. ■ — News Canada November 10–24, 2023

TIPS

5 essential tips for

working from home W

ith remote work on the rise, it comes with unexpected challenges. Stop them from standing between you and your best work-self by following these simple tips:

your home-self of relaxation. Don’t go all-out, but wear something you could get away with at the oﬃce. This will help you get down to work with a professional mindset and set yourself up for a successful day.

keep to a schedule

keep your strength up

Try to keep your work day routine to the schedule it’s used to — wake up at your regular time and keep to your morning rituals, starting work when you’d normally head out the door. But don’t forget to also give yourself breaks you’d give yourself at the oﬃce, when you’d take them. The less your body realizes you’re still home, the more comfortable and productive you’ll be.

keep up the dress code

Normally, you associate the clothes you wear at home with being at ease and relaxed. By fusing your work and leisure clothes, you’ll be robbing your work-self of productivity and

Working from home can be surprisingly strength-sapping. Make sure you get up and walk around — take the same eﬀort to move around at least once an hour, which you should be doing at the oﬃce anyway. It’s also important to eat well. Your kitchen is right there, so use it. Make your lunch break an opportunity to stand up and try cooking something fast and fun before settling back down.

keep the conversation going

Even if you’re an introvert, going into the oﬃce provides some muchneeded social interaction. At home, you may be shielded from its dis-

tracting aspects, but you’re also cut oﬀ from that contact and support network. Make a point of having at least one phone call or Zoom meeting with a coworker every day. Avoid typed conversations, they oﬀer less of a hard break from your work, and the two bleed together too easily.

keep the tunes coming

At home, the silence can potentially be just as focus-breaking as a coworker wandering up to you to discuss the latest internet meme. Don’t let the quiet take over — just ﬁre up SiriusXM. Unlike the radio, you won’t have to slog through ads. Just hit play on your computer or phone and let the productivity ﬂow, or seamlessly transition to your smart speakers if you’re a more mobile worker. Coming back from a break and your favourite artist comes on? You can effortlessly create an ad-free Pandora station of just their music to keep the energy going as you jump back in. ■ — News Canada

pack like a pro M

BY CHUCK RESNICK

oving is a very personal thing and people who hire moving companies ask for varying levels of service. Take packing, for example. Some clients want to pack their own items, while others prefer a turnkey solution where the mover does it all. There are, of course, advantages to each approach, so it is important to choose what’s best for you.

the professional packer

Most who choose to pack themselves do so because it saves money on the move. That is true only if the items make it from Point A to Point B in one piece. Moving companies will not be responsible for items damaged because of poor packing. The most critical element in packing is taking into consideration how far and long the items will remain in the boxes and containers during transit. Consumers often underestimate just how much jostling their items will endure on the various highways and other roadways on their trip to your new home or business. Accessories such as lamps may seem to be packed
