Protests were held across the province Tuesday opposing what critics described as plans to privatize health care in Ontario.
Held by the Ontario Health Coalition, organizers said the Ford government’s Bill 60 would bring back a two-tier health care system.
Representatives took aim at the bill, which is expected to pass this week.
“That bill is allowing a lot of hospital procedures, diagnostics, and surgeries to be moved out of public hospitals, and into what are being called independent health facilities,” said Marie DellaVedova of the Coalition.
“They are, in fact, private hospitals and clinics.”
“We have experience with private…
Sauna Blanket FAQ – Maria Mind Body Health
Saunas have been a popular way to relax and detoxify for centuries, but not everyone has access to one. Sauna blankets offer a convenient and affordable way to enjoy many of the same benefits of a traditional sauna in the comfort of your own home.
Sauna blankets are essentially portable saunas that use heat and far-infrared rays to promote relaxation, detoxification and weight loss. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all work in essentially the same way: by trapping heat and sweating close to the body, which helps to open up the pores and release…

I am always on the quest to enhance my health.

Benefits of Saunas after Workouts
Saunas are wonderful for many reasons but in this post I want to focus on sauna benefits for those of you working out.
Before I jump into the benefits of saunas after workouts, I want all of you to understand that more is not always better. Be careful when doing saunas after workouts. Limit sauna time to no longer than 20 minutes to avoid over-exerting your body. If you have never used a sauna before or are new to saunas, start with shorter periods of time. Listen to your body, it will tell you if you’re spending too long in…
Veto puts Kentucky in thick of fight over transgender rights
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto of a bill aimed at transgender health care puts the state in the middle of a national fight, but with more immediate consequences as the state’s looming election offers an early test on the state-by-state assault on gender-affirming care for minors.
