Currently reading this book. A fascinating look at how we breathe. 🫁 The author suggests that we no longer breathe properly. He explores a variety of breathing techniques that purport to restore health for a variety of ailments. 🌬️ #whatimreading #healthylifestyle #selfcare #calgarywellness

I remember these. Much easier to catch and buy ice cream from a tricycle than the vans that drive around these days. The guy in our neighborhood goes by so fast no one has a chance to buy anything.

Do you remember any other details? I put your question in ChatGPT and got a couple possibilities but not enough detail for a definitive match. “Falling” (1994) and “The Diamond Age” (1995). Neither had an actual falling person, but close.

In TCM, quality sleep allows the body to restore blood, regulate the nervous system and support emotional balance. Tip: aim for a consistent bedtime and reduce stimulation after 9pm. #sleepwellyyc #12daysofwellness #restorativesleep #selfcare

🌸 Menopause is a natural phase in every woman’s life, signaling the end of menstrual cycles, typically occurring between ages 45-55. It's caused by a drop in hormones like estrogen and progesterone. Menopause is a new beginning, not an end. 💪#MenopauseAwareness #NewBeginnings #HealthyAging

Multiple studies have found that a series of #acupuncture treatments (typically 2-3 visits per week for 8-10 weeks) can have reduce both frequency and intensity of #migraine headaches. These results last for months after treatment stops.
