Naturally. The Active Aging Adventure Contest is open to all Manitobans who are 55 years of age or older. Take the opportunity to explore and try something you have not tried before or that you have not done in quite some time. Then tell your story and share your adventure. ALCOA-MB will compile all the stories in an Active Aging Adventure List and post them on the ALCOA-MB website starting in January, 2015. The Active Aging Adventure List will also be made available in print. No matter where you live and no matter how long you have lived, you have many adventures still ahead! Be adventurous! Allow yourself to be a beginner! Nobody starts off being excellent at anything — so whatever you do, give it a chance for success! Write about your Active Aging Adventure, using the following questions as a guide: What did you try? What inspired you to try it? How did it make you feel? Are you going to try it again? Would you encourage others of your age and ability to try this experience? What advice would you give them to make it a pleasurable experience? How can other older adults get involved? What is the next thing on your Active Aging Adventure List? What opportunities for older adults would you like to see more of in your community? Active Aging Adventure Contest Rules 1.

T here's a saying that goes: 'If you're going to do something, do it right.' This rings true in many aspects of our lives but most importantly when it comes to our health. Vita Health Fresh Market has being doing it right for more than 75 years. A big part of 'doing it right' is personal service provided by knowledgeable staff. Vita Health Fresh Market has graduated more Certified Natu- ral Products Advisors than any other retailer. The CNPA course is a one-year program designed by the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and administered by the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA). It contains current informa- tion on nutritional supplements and how they can promote health benefits. As a CNPA graduate, Osborne store manager Darcy McConnell is excited to help customers understand what works best for their bodies and lifestyle. "People want to learn about nutrition and supplementation and try natural products, instead of medication," says McConnell. "Even just teaching customers how to read the labels is important. There are different things you should look for." Vita Health Fresh Market chooses brands with sustainable practices and core values pertain- ing to optimizing health. These vendors provide Vita Health with third party evaluations on their products and scientific studies on the ingredi- ents used. "We know what goes in these prod- ucts," explains McConnell. "And if we have ques- tions it's a simple phone call." When customers drop by their local Vita Health Fresh Market they're not only getting the finest natural health products, they're developing a relationship with staff who are educated, dedi- cated and passionate about providing you with the best service possible. A simple concept that makes a world of difference - one customer at a time. LocaL company prides itseLf on service
