Get ready for the summer!

One of the best ways to protect yourself this summer is sunscreen. Even on cloudy days, the sun’s rays can be harmful to your skin. It is recommended to use sunscreen of at least SPF 30 or higher and ensure that the protection covers both UVA and UVB rays. Those patients with lighter skin may require a higher level of protection. Reapplication should occur after swimming, sweating, drying off with a towel or rubbing of the skin. In general, it is recommended to reapply every 2-3 hours. In addition to sunscreen, wearing a hat, sunglasses and long sleeve shirts will assist with sun protection. For children, sunscreen is not recommended for those below six months of age. Parents are encouraged to use sunglasses, shade and protective clothing. All in all, have fun in the summer, but remember your sunscreen.

Welcome Dr. Tisher!

Weight Loss Tips

Dr Lee — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:44:19 +0000

Canadians are getting bigger and heavier. Being overweight and obese is a major risk factor in many illnesses, including heart disease and cancer. The trick to losing weight is quite simple: calories in

Instead of 2 creams and 2 sugars in your coffee, try 2 milks only
Switch to low fat cottage cheese or yogurt instead of sour cream
Cheese is good for you, but is also high in fat. Consume in moderation!
Remember that a portion of meat/fish is the size of a deck of cards, not more!
Cut down on the beer, wine, pop and juice, and you can cut down on empty calories
Many of us confuse hunger and thirst. Drink plenty of water throughout the day
Keep a food diary. You will be surprised to see how much you eat when you see it written down!

Feel free to come see Dr. Lee or Dr. Chan for more tips on healthy eating and nutrition!

Staying active!

Dr Lee — Wed, 26 May 2010 18:43:51 +0000

Summer is here, which means we no longer have excuses not to exercise and stay active. Doing at least 30 minutes of exercise 3-5 times per week decreases your risk of heart disease. Joining the gym to do muscle building and cardio burns many calories and improves strength.

If you don’t have a lot of money or time to spare, here are some simple ways to increase your activity level:

Get off one bus or subway stop before your destination and walk
Take the stairs instead of the elevators/escalators
Cycle to work (with your helmet of course!)
Take the bus/subway to work and walk/jog back home
Walk to the grocery store and carry your bags home

New female Dr. coming soon!

We’re pleased to announce that Dr. Jung Hwa Lee will be moving from Montreal to join HS Medical in March. We are currently maintaining a wait list for her practice and will be booking appointments shortly. Stay tuned…
