Men four times more likely to have a heart attack when shoveling

(NC) For many Canadians shoveling snow is their least favourite winter chore. Research has also shown that it can be deadly.

Research completed at Queen's University in Kingston that found a clear link between shoveling snow and sudden cardiac events. The research also suggested that the risk for men was four times that of women and also four times greater if the person had a family history of heart disease.

The culprits are cold air, which puts extra strain on our hearts; the burst of start-and-stop effort; and the fact that most people don't warm up their muscles in advance.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation also suggests the following tips:

• Don't shovel immediately after waking up or after eating a meal.

• Walk around for a few minutes or marching in place to warm up.

• Don't shovel after drinking coffee or alcohol; drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

• Cover your head and neck, as well as your mouth to warm the cold air slightly when breathing in.

• Take it easy! Clear the driveway in stages, don't overload the shovel and take a break if you feel out of breath. Just like you wouldn't run a marathon without training for it, don't try to clear all the snow in one session if you are in less than top physical shape.

Emergency medical officials urge people to talk to their doctors before shoveling season. If you've previously experienced a heart attack, stroke, or had heart surgery in the past, then you may want to ask a family member or neighbour for help.

It's also important for Canadians to learn how to recognize SCA and to be ready, willing and able to jump in and take fast action. Immediately delivering CPR (to keep the blood flowing) and using a defibrillator within five minutes gives the best chance for survival. The Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator is the only new-generation defibrillator specifically designed for the home. The unit is safe can be used by virtually anyone in an emergency.

Direct deposit of federal cheques is ideal for seniors

(NC)—More than 90 percent of Canadian seniors currently receive their federal government payments by direct deposit so why are the remaining 10 percent holding out? Perhaps because of fear of the unknown, misconceptions about how the process works or they may simply be unaware the service even exists.

The federal government is phasing out cheques for all of its payments, including Old Age Security (OAS), Canada Pension Plan (CPP), and the Guaranteed Income Supplement to name a few so any seniors who have not enrolled yet should do so as soon as possible.

Here are some reasons to sign up:

• There is virtually no risk of a payment being lost, stolen or damaged due to a postal strike, for example.

• For those who like to travel, there is no need to stay home in order to be able to pick up the mail when cheques come in each month.

• For people on fixed incomes, automatic deposits provide assurance that their money will always be there when they need it, on the day that it is due.

• Eighty percent of payments are already made to Canadians by direct deposit.

If seniors find it uncomfortable doing their business on the Internet, they can still visit their local bank branch and make the necessary arrangements in person. All they have to do is fill out a form, which the bank can help them do. Once the form is processed, payments from that point on will be deposited directly into their bank account.

Direct deposit will help save you time and puts money in your pocket faster and more reliably. For seniors, you don't need to have a computer and you can still go to the bank and pay your bills in person and update your bank book; the only thing that changes is that your money is deposited electronically directly into the bank account of your choice.

For those who are online, or who have a trusted advisor or caregiver, the direct deposit enrolment form can be found at www.directdeposit.gc.ca.

The payoff of buying locally

It's a well-known fact that technology has changed the way consumers shop. The world is at their fingertips as they browse the Internet for their latest purchase. The planet has become one big outlet where people can buy practically anything from another continent as easily as going to their corner store.

“Through the ease of online purchases, people can forget that their choices directly influence our local neighbourhoods,” said François Ramsay “Choosing to spend your hard-earned dollars in a local business directly benefits the local economy and helps small businesses thrive, leading to sustainable and dynamic communities.”

Consumer experience and satisfaction is another reason why people should think about buying locally. Small establishments often offer exceptional customer service thanks to personalized one-on-one attention. They often have unique and original product selections and are located close to homes and worksites. Relationships are built between customers, local business owners and staff, making shopping an enjoyable and memorable event. Since local business owners often reside in the same neighbourhood, they also prioritize community causes and invest personally in the area's welfare and future.

Finding local goods and services nearby is simple thanks to a variety of local search solutions.

Make a local purchase today and support Canadian small business owners. Put your neighbourhood first.
