If you want your skin to look 20 to 30 years younger, maybe the secret doesn't lie with buying expensive beauty products.
Research done at McMaster University is showing exercise may even reverse the effects of aging on the skin.
The discovery was made when the effects of exercise on mice that were genetically modified to age faster were studied. These mice, who ran on a wheel three times a week were compared to mice who did no exercise. The findings show the skin of the aging mice were completely protected with exercise.
When people 65 and older exercised for 30 minutes, three times a week on a stationary bike, their skin appeared 20 to 30 years younger under the microscope after three months as long as they hadn't baked themselves in the sun.
Those
people who have been affected by the flooding this week are being
warned by Chief Medical Health Officer Eilish Cleary to beware of food
and water contamination.
If
you were flooded or your electrical power has been out for an extended
period of time, perishable food, vacuum packed foods, home preserves,
meat, fish and dairy products should be thrown out.
Canned foods with no leaks, swelling or rusting at the joints and edges can be saved but should be washed and dried.
Cooking and eating utensils should be cleaned.
Any
appliances affected by flood water should be cleaned first with a
detergent, rinsed, then washed with half a cup of bleach in nine litres
of water and allowed to dry with the door open.
Organ donation saves tens of thousands of lives in Canada every year--and when it comes to donating, one third of people have signed up, one third are undecided, and another third have said no.
Mary Gaetan works to promote organ and tissue donation in Canada, and she tells us ideally everyone would make an informed decision rather than just saying "no" by default.
She says while organ donation isn't for everyone, they want to get the message out to all Canadians that it's important to make your wishes known to your loved ones.

Good news for Perth Andover: despite widespread fears of serious flooding, the water levels went down 18 inches overnight.
The town has been ravaged by floods in the past and according to public communications officer Justine Waldeck, they're simply hoping that the giant ice floe above Grand Falls stays put for a few more days.
They might see an influx of floes down the river today, but so far it's not looking like they'll have to call for mandatory evacuation. So far, 45 units including homes and businesses in low-laying areas were evacuated on a voluntary basis.
