You Are Invited to 1st Fridays 'Health & Fitness' Edition Friday January 8th, 2016




  Lets welcome in  the New Year with my favorite phrase,  in order to increase your NET WORTH you need to increase your  NETWORK.   Welcome 2016  with the First,  First Friday of the year. First Fridays is a community activity club whose purpose is to organize a monthly activity(s) and/or event(s) that are focused on building and improving upon awareness, networking and information sharing for youth, adults, minority and mainstream communities in education, employment, self-employment, health and wellness, the arts and other areas of interest.

 First Fridays in Toronto was founded in 1994. It is one of over 30 First Fridays that occur on the first Friday of every month throughout North America in cities like Montreal, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and New York, to name a few. 

 I will be speaking at First Friday's Health and Fitness Edition  On January 08 2016.  My goal is  to increase the Health literacy of all individuals that I meet.

Bye Felicia ! A Guide to Removing Emotional Vampires out of Your life

Image
Hey It's your girl JA Nursing here, how have you all been? So  as we  get closer to the end of the year it's that  time to wipe away negative people and situations out of  our lives. So one day  I heard someone say #ByeFelicia, with keeping that in mind Emotional vampires are lurking everywhere and wear many different disguises–from needy relatives to workplace bullies. Whether they do so intentionally or not, these people can make us feel overwhelmed, depressed, defensive, angry, and wiped out. The phrase " Bye, Felicia " came from the American stoner buddy crime comedy film  Friday  (1995). According to  Ice Cube , who starred in the film and co-wrote its script, "Bye, Felicia" is "the phrase 'to get anyone out of your face.'" [ 1 ] You can’t live a positive life around negative people. Sadly, some people love  seeing the negative side of things that they leave zero room for positive things to grow. The first step to

Hi it's your Girl JA Nursing here , last week through my daily internet stroll  I found Published on : July 17, 2015   a article  By K. Aleisha Fetters  in Women's Health  which Read  Is Eating Too Much Kale Poisonous?  A nutritionist weighs in on the nasty rumors circulating about this leafy green.  To my surprise I of course clicked the linked and dove head first into the article.

Are You thinking of seeing a Naturopath or a Homeopath?

Image
So you are thinking of seeing a naturopath or a homeopath?   Did you know ? A homeopathic practitioner is trained only in homeopathy, while a naturopathic doctor has the training, education and expertise to design an overall treatment program that draws on a number of therapies, including homeopathic remedies. Knowing the difference is the start. Let JA Nursing assist with those  choices. To become a naturopath in Ontario:  let's just learn who you may be consulting about your health. After all not all Doctors are made equal. FYI  To be  considered for admission to the ND program, applicants must have completed a three- or four-year bachelor's degree in any discipline at an accredited institution. Then you can apply   to be a   Naturopathic Doctor (ND) 4-year program.  Of course after this you are ready to run your   business   as a Naturopathic Doctor (ND).  Let's make it clear Naturopathic                               medicine is a b
