Healthy tips for
BACK-TO-SCHOOL
LUNCHES T
he types of foods and snacks that children bring to the classroom can have a major impact on their learning. They can make the difference in a child’s focus and engagement throughout the day. For busy parents who need to get out the door quickly in the morning, it can be difficult to throw together a brain-boosting, fully-packed lunch without the right ingredients or cooperation from their kids. Here are some quick tips for parents to start the school year off right with healthy, smart lunch ideas:
10
• LU X U RY LI S TE D MAG AZINE
HAVE YOUR FOOD GROUPS COVERED
A balanced lunch to keep kids going all day requires food from all four food groups, including vegetables, fruits, grain products, and dairy and meat alternatives. You can incorporate all of these elements with creative ideas like a take-to-school taco bar, or a healthy spin on a classic like baked chicken nuggets with fresh cut veggies. For picky eaters who aren’t filling their nutrient quota for the day, try a supplement like Jamieson’s Vita-Vim for Kids, specifically formulated to nourish growing bodies with essential nutrients like Vitamin C, to help boost young immune systems.
GET YOUR KIDS INVOLVED
Healthy lunch choices start in the grocery aisle, so why not get your children involved with this step. Take your kids grocery shopping to educate them on what is considered a healthy choice and let them have a say in what goes into the cart to give them a sense of empowerment and responsibility. This way when these items end up in their lunch boxes they will be familiar and excited to eat them. >>>
LUX URY LI ST E D MAGA ZINE •

CHOOSE BRAIN FOODS
It’s important to give kids food that will keep their energy and concentration levels high, rather than packaged foods loaded with sugar and sodium that will make them crash before the end of the school day. Choose grab-and-go snacks like Greek yogurt with home-made granola, or apple slices with almond butter. Omega-3 supplements like Jamieson Omega-3 Kids Gummies not only taste delicious, but they are a perfect way to help them get essential fatty acids to help regulate mood, behaviour.
Though many Canadian children have access to essential nutrients and healthy lunches, there are many atrisk populations around the world that do not. Jamieson Vitamins has partnered with Vitamin Angels, a non-profit organization that helps at-risk populations gain access to life changing vitamins they need to thrive.

TOP 5 Reasons to
GO W
ould you like to be a part of the largest annual celebration of organic food, farming, and products, this fall? Organic Week is taking place between September 19 and 27 all across the country.
14
• LU X U RY LI S TE D MAG AZINE
Presented by the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA), the Canadian Organic Growers (COG), and the Canada Organic Trade Association (COTA), this week-long celebration is the time to learn about the importance of organic food. To mark this occasion, CHFA has identified the top five reasons to go organic now and all year long, as follows: CUT BACK ON CHEMICALS
Many herbicides and insecticides used in agriculture have been found to be hormone disruptors, have a negative impact on children’s development, and cause various other health concerns. Choosing certified organic products reduces your exposure to chemical residues. ORGANIC FARMERS WORK WITH NATURE
Organic agriculture builds healthy ecosystems, and organic farms have higher biodiversity, which promotes sustainability and ecological balance.
ORGANIC METHODS REDUCE POLLUTION AND WASTED ENERGY
More energy is used to make synthetic fossil fuel-based fertilizers than to cultivate and harvest crops or to transport food. Canadian studies have shown that organic farming practices can use as little as half the energy of conventional farming methods, and help to put carbon back into the soil. ORGANIC FARMS TAKE WATER SERIOUSLY
Organic farmers manage the land and life around rivers and lakes very carefully, and are inspected every year. By not using synthetic fertilizers and persistent toxic chemicals, organic farming is also easier on our precious water reserves. >>>

ED I TORIAL
ORGANIC PRODUCERS STRIVE TO PRESERVE GENETIC DIVERSITY
The loss of a large variety of species (biodiversity) is one of the most important environmental concerns of our day. The good news is that many organic farmers have been collecting and preserving seeds, and growing heirloom varieties and raising rare breeds of livestock for many years.
“ Think before you eat: think Canada Organic.”
- Healthy food buffs
Organic products meet strict national standards and the “Canada Organic” logo tells you that products have been grown and handled according to procedures and regulations. Organic is also the only non-GMO standard overseen by the Canadian government. Organic standards forbid the use of GMOs in seeds, in animal feed, and in the ingredients of processed organic food and products. More information is available online at chfa.ca. www.newscanada.com

FALL HOME MAINTENANCE T
oo many homeowners make home maintenance an annual event. They often use spring cleaning as the only excuse to get things done around the house. In reality, proper home maintenance should be done year-round - even for a brand new home. The Fall in particular offers some essential maintenance tasks that you should consider to keep your new home healthy and ensure that your warranty rights are protected. All new homes in Ontario come with a warranty that lasts up to seven years from the date of possession and is guaranteed by Tarion Warranty Corporation. It covers almost everything inside and outside, from defects in workmanship to Ontario Building Code violations and major structural defects.
20
• LU X U RY LI S TE D MAG AZINE
If issues arise in your home that can be attributed to the lack of proper maintenance, they won’t be covered under the warranty. So to help ensure your home and your home warranty remain protected, plan on regular maintenance. With the warm weather giving away slowly to winter, here’s a short checklist of key things to watch.
• Take a walk around the outside of your home and check all windows and doors for cracks around the framing. Re-caulk if you notice any cracks or separations. (Tip: for windows on second stories or above take digital photos and zoom in. It could save multiple trips up a ladder.) • Check the weather stripping on exterior doors. Make sure they are not damaged or worn and will keep that warm air inside your home come December.
• Clear leaves from eavestroughs and downspouts and repair any cracks or seam separations with caulking. Check all downspouts for damage. (Note: If you’re having a professional roofing company check the roof they can check the eaves and downspouts at the same time.) • Shut off your home’s exterior water supply and drain exterior water lines. Leave the taps open a bit to ensure any trapped or remaining water will not freeze and damage the water supply line. (This should also be done with any irrigation systems or water features like ponds or fountains.) >>>

• Test all smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. • Clean and test all exhaust fans (this includes dryer vents, stove vents and furnace vents). • Check your sump-pump float and discharge line and test overall operation. • If recommended by the manufacturer, install a protective winter cover on your air conditioning unit. • Clean or replace your furnace filter. • If your home has one, clean and turn off the humidifier and the Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV). • Have your furnace serviced in preparation for winter. • Inspect your fireplace and chimney dampers and service or clean if necessary. (This applies to gas and wood burning fireplaces.) • Winterize your landscape by storing outdoor furniture and covering plants.
