[C626]Choose Where To Live

by Alissa. B, Ali

Just over the 401 is the quainter part of Toronto, North York. Previously a city of its own, North York has now become part of the Greater Toronto area. However, the amalgamation hasn't taken away from the charm of the area. Rather, it has added to it. North York offers all of the convenience of city living, minus the headache. Served by two great subway lines as well as the 401, every distinct neighbourhood in North York is easily accessible by its residents and visitors.

The heart of North York, with the bustling intersection of Yonge and Sheppard at its epicentre, is a diverse combination of shops, restaurants, and attractions that serve not only the many offices that are located in the area, but also the growing number of local residents. Population density is rapidly rising, and condominium as well as townhome developments are struggling to meet the demand. New condos, like Savvy Condominiums at Cosmo, Spring @ Minto Gardens, and Emerald Park are being developed at Yonge and Sheppard. And because of the number of condos, each offers a variety of amenities and finishes to present their property as attractively to buyers as possible - which makes North York one of the best places in the GTA to buy a condo. Many condos even offer the convenience of direct access to the subway and stores/services such as banks, grocery stores an restaurants!

If you're looking to buy a condo, think beyond the box. Explore the endless possibilities in North York.

Since we now live in the information age, if we really want to be healthier, then it is possible to improve with age, rather than giving in to the downhill spiral of deterioration and ill health. Past research has proven it to be so.

You may have heard the saying, "An ounce of prevention is cheaper than the pound of cure." You might be interested to know that should you continue to do things that are not healthy, you will be known as being "bad". Things such as, eating poorly, smoking, refusing to be more active, this is commonly known as "Lifestyle Suicide."

There is a much better way. Here are some of the more significant areas that involve lifestyle and our ability to make choices. Keep in mind that by choosing wisely you are focusing on a healthier lifestyle choice and will improve your health to its greatest potential ever.

Cigarettes: nicotine is a very highly addictive substance. Research shows that the average smoker makes seven attempts to quit. Ex-smokers say that it was all worth the effort although the cravings do still last for years. Quitting smoking is the most effective choice a person can make in improving their health. So if you have decided that you want to quit, then do it now!

Food is all about what you eat and how. There is a serious problem with obesity in our country. Portion size must be taken into consideration, but you must also take care to eat the right foods and exercise in order to receive the full benefit of a healthier lifestyle.

Deciding to lose the extra 15 or 25 pounds is noble, but dieting alone will just not work. The key to achieving your goal is activity. Avoiding or even eliminating completely, any refined carbohydrates such as white sugar and flour, along with regular yet moderately exerting activities will eliminate the necessity of measuring or weighing of food, and will almost guarantee that you lose one to two pounds a week.

Avoid foods with trans fats, like margarine, white sugar, flour and prepared foods. Instead eat more raw and unprocessed foods. Don't miss out on breakfast and never eat late at night.

Eat foods rich in anti-oxidants like darker colored fruits and vegetables, purple grape juice, green tea, red wine and dark chocolate. Try to drink four or more glasses of water daily.

If you decide to start exercising remember to Keep It Simple. Start off by walking for 15 minutes three times a week; this should cause you to get a bit of glow. Gradually increase your walk, causing a bit more of a glow. Although there is no upper or set limit on how long you choose to walk for, the health benefits do get greater after 60 minutes of activity.

If you do decide to start taking better care of yourself and live a healthier lifestyle, it is recommended that you get some advice from professionals who will take care of you in a holistic way, as opposed to just treating the symptoms. Prevention of health problems before they even become symptomatic is the best approach.
