TLC for Holiday Feet


No one wants soreness or injuries to slow them down, so it’s important to care for your feet so they can carry you through all those seasonal celebrations and chores. It is possible to shop without dropping and enjoy the holidays more with less pain.  Lou Paradise, president and chief of research at Topical BioMedics, the makers of Topricin Pain Relief and Healing Cream, offers tips to keep feet happy and healthy so you can get through the season without suffering. 

Treat Feet Right:

--When shopping or doing errands, leave heels at home and wear comfortable shoes.  Athletic shoes, flats, or low-heeled boots with good arch support and padded soles help increase comfort and prevent ankle and foot pain that results in wearing heels.  For specific footwear recommendations, click the following link to see which types of footwear have received the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance and Seal of Approval for promoting foot health.    http://www.apma.org/learn/content.cfm?ItemNumber=1108&navItemNumber=535

--If shoes feel tight, use a shoe stretcher to make them more comfortable before heading out the door.
-- Distribute the weight of shopping bags evenly on both sides of your body.  Lighten your load by making frequent trips to the car to drop off packages.

--Whenever possible use a shopping cart to avoid stressing your back with heavy packages, and ask for assistance lifting heavy objects. 

--When walking, keep your back straight and relaxed; try not to slouch as it shifts your weight forward and puts you off balance.

--Women should opt for carrying a small backpack rather than a heavy purse.

--Keep your energy up by taking frequent breaks to enjoy a snack, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and rest your feet.  During your break, try to elevate your feet to help reduce any swelling.    

--Apply Topricin Foot Therapy Cream before heading out for a heavy-duty day of holiday shopping, hours of travel, or a night on the town,ssaging it onto legs, ankles, feet and all around your knees.  This quickly helps to maximize the body’s healing and repairing process to keep you comfortable.  Massage again when you return home.    
--After a long, punishing day on your feet, take off your shoes and exercise them.   Stretching is a good way to avoid muscle cramps.  You can stave off toe cramps by raising, pointing and curling your toes for five seconds. Repeat 10 times. Rotating your ankles can also help relax feet. Cup your heel and turn each ankle slowly five times to loosen ankle joints.
-- Soak your feet in a warm Epsom salt bath, dry, and massage in Topricin Foot Therapy Cream for soothing relief.  Running your feet over a reflexology roller, golf ball, or tennis ball after applying Topricin gives feet a great massage. 
--See your doctor or podiatrist immediately if you have concerns about any foot issues.

HOW TOPRICIN WORKS AND USAGE:

Don’t pop a chemical pain pill or just soak your feet in Epsom salts—soothe pain and pamper your feet and legs with Topricin Foot Therapy Cream.
Topricin Foot Therapy Cream specifically targets ankle and foot pain, and is patented for the topical treatment of pain associated with neuropathy.   The product’s fourteen natural biomedicines naturally support and assist the body by helping the subcutaneous skin layers of the feet drain toxins and excessive fluids from the tissues that increases blood flow and helps heal the damage that is causing the pain.

Apply Topricin Foot Therapy in the morning before putting on shoes, periodically throughout the day whenever possible, and again at night to maintain healthy, pain-free feet. As an added plus, Topricin Foot Therapy Cream is moisturizing, so it soothes dry, cracked skin.

Topricin Foot Therapy also relieves foot pain symptoms associated with Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, sprained and swollen ankles, forefoot pain, blisters, aching feet, flat feet, hammertoes, corns and calluses and other painful foot conditions and injuries.

Free of parabens and petroleum, Topricin Foot Therapy is safe and natural and doesn’t use any volatile oils such as camphor, menthol, petroleum or lanolin, fragrances or irritating chemicals.  The cream is fast absorbing, odorless, and greaseless and will not stain clothing.

Topricin Foot Therapy is formulated for maximum absorption.  Free of side effects, it can be applied many times, as needed, to relieve foot pain.  It will not interference with other medications, and is safe for diabetics.

20 years in business and a Certified B Corporation, Topical BioMedics is a research and development leader in topical patented natural biomedicines for pain relief. The company’s flagship product, Topricin® Pain Relief and Healing Cream, was introduced in 1994 and is now a leading natural therapeutic brand. A combination biomedicine formula, Topricin has been awarded a patent for the treatment of pain associated with fibromyalgia and neuropathy, and was listed among the Top 100 Green Products of 2012 by Healthy Holistic Living.

Unfortunately, millions of people continue to suffer in pain, with many experiencing the hazardous side effects of OTC chemical pain pills or negative effects of narcotic Rx painkillers—an epidemic that turns the lives of American families upside down and is undermining the very fabric of our country. 
Because of the company’s experience in addressing these challenges, it has launched its “Get Relief, Give Relief” initiative:  for every Topricin product purchased directly from the company, it will donate a tube of Topricin to a free pain clinic or charitable organization.  To participate in “Get Relief, Give Relief,” order from www.topricin.com or call 1-800-LES-PAIN (537-7246).

Veterans and Military Community to Gather For Annual Remembrance Day Tournament


TORONTO – NOVEMBER 11, 2014 – The Weston Golf and Country Club will once again host
Canadian Veterans, Currently Serving Canadian Forces personnel, Weston members and special guests for its annual Remembrance Day tournament. The event kicks-off with a traditional service and ends with a reception in the clubhouse.  2014 marks the 12th anniversary of the tournament, which aims to honour veterans and Canadian Forces members serving today in Afghanistan and around the world, with proceeds supporting the Juno Beach Centre Association.

The goal this year is to raise $10,000 to see 40 Commemorative Bricks sponsored in honour of Canadians killed in action in Afghanistan. The event was started when a group of Weston members wanted to find a way to expand Remembrance Day beyond the traditional morning service. They decided that regardless of the weather conditions, they would host a golf tournament, donating the proceeds to a worthy cause.

What:    12th Annual Weston Golf Club Remembrance Day Tournament
When:    Tuesday, November 11, 2014
Breakfast at 9:15
Remembrance Service at 10:00 AM

Bordeaux Supérieur, Château Grand Terrier des Eyriaux 2011





Bordeaux Supérieur, Château Grand Terrier des Eyriaux 2011

 

Bottle price:    $18.95 CAD
Price of case:    $227.40 CAD

Btls per Case:    12 x 750 ml
Winery:    Château Grand Terrier des Eyriaux
Region:    Bordeaux, France


93 points - Derek Smedley, Master of Wine, June 2012 (2009 vintage)

"Ripe black plum and cassis fills out the nose and this black fruited power is there on the palate. Ripe feeling tannins give a mid suppleness lovely and fleshy. The ripe cassis is backed by firmer black cherry with towards the back coffee and spice giving an added complexity. The finish is sweet fruited and quite rich." 




There is good reason everyone is after Petite Chateau Bordeaux. Much like Grower Champagne, the budget is spent on the wine and not on marketing....

It certainly appears as though winter has come a little bit early this year. For those of us up early Saturday morning in Southern Ontario, it was hard not to notice those little white flakes coming down from the sky.

 This is not all bad news. There are many of us that do love being outside in winter, and then there are the benefits of coming in from the cold and having a nice hearty glass of red wine by the fire. Meals tend to be more generous demanding a more robust wine to match up to them. The Chateau Grand Terrier is hearty while maintaining the finesse we expect when drinking wines from Bordeaux. 

If you have specific gifting needs and are not quite sure how to fulfill them, we are happy to help.  You can always drop us an email, by replying directly to this message, or you can give us a call during business hours at 877-714-WINE (9463). At WineOnline.ca we know wine and take your wine needs very seriously. We want to be, your trusted wine advisors.
