November 2011, Tips, e-News and More!
The days are getting shorter and the air crisper and dryer. Even though it comes every year, the first cold snap of winter can come as a complete surprise. Take a deep breath, relax and use November as a transition month. The Air Conditioner should be covered, and water to exterior taps shut-off. Move winter jackets and sweaters to the front of the closet instead of digging past summer clothes for a pair of gloves and a scarf when the winter takes hold.
Did you test the smoke detectors around your house for the winter season. First check to see if the battery is still strong (if you can't remember when you last changed it, CHANGE IT NOW). Secondly check to see if the actual detector is still good, smoke detectors are generally good for about 10 years (look for the expiry date on the side or by the battery panel of the actual smoke detector).
'Fall Back' Reminders!
Remember to set your clocks back an hour this Saturday November 5th before you go to sleep (especially your alarm clock, you watch, car radio, household appliances and any other devices that can throw off you day).
Is it time for a cleaning or to have your dental work completed?
If your dental benefits are based on the calendar year, your maximums may not roll over into the New Year. If you don't use them they will go to waste.

Have a safe and healthy month,

Energy Granola Bar
Sugar, spice and spectacular are the three words that we use to describe the month of October. The
leaves are colourful, apple picking is giving way to pumpkin season and warming spices such as
cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger capture our senses.
Let's face it; sugar is what makes October so popular!
If you need to satisfy your sweet tooth, there are countless alternatives to the empty calorie treats
October is renowned for.
This month we are featuring a delicious fall recipe for cinnamon baked apples! They are naturally
sweet, full of fibre and can be quite visually appealing when topped with maple syrup, brown rice
syrup, raisins and some nuts.
Baked, glazed apples sprinkled with cinnamon or ginger can be enjoyed as a dessert, a snack or even
for breakfast.
