The buffet on Saturday night at Calgary’s Cinnamon Cuisine is a tantalizing display of Sri Lankan ethnic specialties. This new hot spot with convenient access and parking up on International Avenue aims to please. The atmosphere is friendly and the value is exceptional! I might recommend an early arrival ’cause word is getting around and their space is quaint but a bit tight.
You’ve all seen the pop up to subscribe for digital news service. Just say no. You already pay a steep price for internet service while bombarded by peripheral advertisements. Hence; refuse to use the news page which may now have outsmarted your cookie deletion protocol. There are still credible news outlets worthy of your readership. In fact, in Canada your tax dollars support the CBC. To my delight and with the recommendation of a friend, I’ve rediscovered CBC radio as a tremendous resource not only for news but for more thoughtful music play selection compared to the likes of Jack FM or K97.
Big business wants to take you down some path of their liking and I’m seeing evidence that folks are losing self control as a result. Technological advancement does not mean you should jump because some new gadget or media request has come staring you in the face on your computer screen. Your future autonomy is going to be predicated by your absolutism in dealing with foolishness by corporate concerns today!
If you’ve encountered a job loss in this difficult current oil and gas Calgary market, this time it will be different – right? “When I have my new good job, I’ll continue to upgrade professionally and save for a rainy day. I’ll never take on too much of a mortgage or buy expensive lifestyle luxury items which get used only a handful of times per year. I will strive for a second cheque monthly that will be back up. I’ll be smart with my money and forget about keeping up with the Jones.’”
Welcome to the next down turn. Your realtor and your investment advisor have led you to believe that the future would be rosy. There were those glossy ads of new two story homes with luxury appliances and a double attached garage. Even your banker only wanted two years of financial history while always voiding the prospects of the economic horizon. That vacation you took in the summer of 2015 was the last extravagance before buckling down – right? Westjet whose corporate headquarters are here in Calgary has announced today a record number of passengers for the month of August.
Yes, you figured it right. I am an accountant. I’ve been doing tax work since 1994 and have been witness to much misalignment of the affairs of folks whom are for the most part strong thinking responsible people. Few folks actually prepare a household budget and without fail, these are the ones who stream through economic cycles unphased.
Our governments have also failed to learn the lessons of past down turns. Alberta has literally lost control of the public purse after a previous administration worked vigorously during a more difficult economic era to eliminate debt.
The Calgary Counselling Centre has just announced a 91 per cent increase in stress related calls associated with unemployment and fear of job loss since the same time last year.
Most people’s carbohydrate intake is imbalanced with too many simple sugars and too few complex ones so let’s take a look at Polysaccharides polypeptides and diet. It is the simple sugars that boost cell size and add to body girth. Although the research is somewhat incomplete regarding the effect of simple sugar ingestion and the production of free radicals in the blood, one is inclined to think with information currently available that our cell’s health is negatively affected by consuming too many simple sugars. Complex carbohydrates facilitate the effective processing of metabolic functions and can actually increase the motility of the cellular engine by boosting the production a critical enzyme called Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Dr. Peiper in his book Polysaccharides Polypeptides speaks at length of the importance of replacing simple sugars with complex ones. A daily supplementation can effectively move the consumption ratio of complex sugars to simple sugars in our favour.

There are so many benefits to running and it’s peculiar that more people aren’t doing it for the simple sake of good health. It may have to do with certain fallacies that work on the mind. Perhaps, it’s much to do with the “no time” excuse that plagues the rational mind. Maybe it’s the broken commitments of yesteryear working as a stymie for stepping forward. Whatever the case, today is a great time to make a start just by starting. A doctor’s okay is an errand away.
Weight bearing stress on joint, tendons, ligaments, and bones is good for the body. Yes, I said stress. The body requires stress as an inciter of the life force. Your body was built to move and thrive under eustress (positive stress). If you are over weight, this is an issue because excessive stress on the knees can cause harm to the menisci (cartilage) floating between the tibia and femur. Non weight bearing aerobic exercise will be a better option until normal weight is restored.
Blood moves rapidly throughout the body including your heart. Oxygenation at the capillaries is increased. Imagine a washing of arterial walls at your heart as blood races through the pulmonary and coronary arteries. With increased demand on the heart muscle, the coronary artery is asked to perform more powerfully.
Adrenaline is a hormone of which the secretion is increased during exercise and gets you feeling good. What a way to start the day! If you are one who can jump right out of bed and hit the streets, I tip my hat to you. However; by 9:30 am you’ve digested a nutritious breakfast with caffeine perhaps inspiring your strength.
Running burns calories and enhances the motility of the digestive tract. You’re life style is improved with better energy utilization and mental acuity.
Most municipalities have running clubs and welcome new members. Make new friends and access recreational races through these clubs which often times have a component associated with fund raising for good causes.
