Natural Remedy: 3 Health Benefits of Naturopathic Medicine

You’re probably thinking to yourself: Naturopath? Shouldn’t I just visit a fortune teller and peer into a crystal ball instead?

This couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, naturopaths are educated with the same background as medical doctors; they simple choose to apply a holistic approach to medicine, using nutrition, acupuncture, and other natural treatments.

A medical doctor will generally treat symptoms using basic information that you provide them, whereas a naturopath will attempt to treat underlying causes by accumulating a wealth of specific information about you. Of course, it’s important to see both and take both of their opinions into account. That said, however skeptical you might be, here are the top three reasons you need to visit a naturopath.

In addition to getting food into their belly, there are three primary goals for your toddler’s morning breakfast: it needs to be fast to make, it needs to be full of nutrients, and it needs to be imbibed in minutes (who has time these days to sit at the breakfast table discussing Peppa the Pig?).

Living in the Concrete Jungle: 4 Tips to Rent a Condo in Toronto

There’s tons of them around. In fact, condos account for almost all of the new rental housing supply in Toronto. And at least a quarter of all new condos are rented or leased. So, there are many condos, but price is another issue.

Far too many condos are listed at the top end of the rental scale, making them unaffordable except for a handful of buyers. Then, there’s the question of where to rent or lease.
