It’s Canadian Men’s Health Month. A great time to encourage the men in our lives to check in with their physical and mental health. Regularly checking-in with yourself can help to reduce your symptoms of stress and anxiety.

Let’s get active together! Whether it’s playing golf, walking, or bike riding, studies show that exercise of all kinds triggers feel-good endorphins, soothes stress, eases anxiety, and helps relieve depression. Partner up with friends and family and encourage one another to make your physical health a priority.

Share this link with the men in your lives as a great reminder about the role that moving more plays in your mental health:

Pollinators like bees are vital to growing the foods we need, and most will ignore us if we leave them alone.

But do you know what to do when you or someone with you has been stung by a bee or wasp?

For most people, a sting is just painful. Dropping into the pharmacy for pain medications or an antihistamine can do the trick!

But for a few, it can be life-threatening. You may not know you're one of them until after you've been stung. A severe allergic reaction to bee stings (anaphylaxis) requires emergency treatment.

Talk with us to know the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, and what you can do to protect you and your family. Learn more about caring for an insect sting: https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-topics/care-insect-sting
