With the weather warming up outside we tend to find ourselves enjoying the outdoors more frequently.
Spring cleaning activities such as gardening, cutting the grass, and washing the car all help to keep us active. These activities also expose us to the sun for extended periods of time.
In past issues we have reminded you to stretch before undertaking any activity. We would like to take this opportunity to remind you to apply sunscreen as well!

While some sun is needed for your body to produce Vitamin D (essential for calcium absorption), too much sun can be harmful and lead to long term problem. For some tips regarding protecting yourself and your family, especially if you have young children feel free to visit Health Canada at this link.

With all of that said, get out there and enjoy yourselves. We hope all of the mothers out there had a great Mother's Day and that everyone took full advantage of the May long weekend.
Wishing you countless reasons to Smile,
Dr. Freedman and the Team at BDHC

Have you heard of Bill C-51?
It is very likely that the answer is no!
That is because it seems to be fast-tracking its way through the House of Commons with two readings in the month of April. Two readings in a matter of weeks seems a little suspect, bills usually take months to pass not weeks! |

Bill C-51 will over-regulate and place unreasonable strain on small natural health providers and supplement companies. This will create an environment where only large pharmaceuticals will be able to survive. The bill will also label many supplements, herbs and vitamins in a manner requiring them to be prescribed to you. Imagine needing your doctor to prescribe Vitamin C, and the possibility of legal action if you offered a garlic supplement to a friend.
Bill C-51 goes on to give government agents unacceptable powers to search and seize property without a warrant and at the expense of the property owner.
This bill needs to be stopped in its tracks before your rights are effected.

Pregnancy Gingivitis is the most common of the dental concerns during a pregnancy. This form of Gingivitis is most prevalent between the second and eighth month of pregnancy.
The symptoms associated with Pregnancy Gingivitis include: gums that are red, swollen, tender, or bleeding during brushing and flossing.
