After a poor night of sleep, your blood sugars are automatically higher causing you to become hungrier, you crave carbohydrates and you often gain weight over consecutive nights of poor sleep.
Many people gain weight in the summer and one main reason is that they skimp on sleep. It’s easy to get 8-10 hours of sleep when it gets dark out at 4:30pm in January, but who wants to go to bed when…

Manitoba bringing care workers from Philippines
A recruitment mission to bring Filipino nurses and health care aids to Manitoba is being touted as an ‘overwhelming success’ by the provincial government, though some say it’s too early to celebrate.
The province says it’s received more than 300 letters from health care workers in the Philippines, accepting job offers in Manitoba’s health-care system. This is the result of a push earlier this year that saw a delegation of Manitoba health care leaders go on a recruitment mission to the Philippines.

Red Light Face Mask Benefits
TOP RED LIGHT FACE MASK BENEFITS
Enhanced Collagen Production: One of the primary benefits of red light face masks is their ability to stimulate collagen production. Collagen, a protein responsible for maintaining skin elasticity, tends to diminish with age, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Red light therapy can penetrate deep into the skin, activating fibroblasts that produce collagen, thereby promoting a more youthful and plump complexion. Regular use of red light face masks can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, leaving you with smoother, firmer skin.

“Seeing patients in hallways, on floors for resuscitation, is a real crisis in health care in a first-world country,” said Howlett,…
