Wabeno – The Bodwéwadmi Ktëgan, which translates to Potawatomi Farm, in Forest County is promoting a farm-to-table lifestyle. The farm offers a variety of agriculture, from pigs, cows and bison to specific Potawatomi fruits and vegetables.

“Everything that we produce went to our schools, our daycare, our elders, the rec departments when they provided their summer feedings,” Shepard said.

Health assessments, bone density testing and sometimes treatment itself were upended by the pandemic. This disruption in care may have serious, long-term consequences for Canadians. 

Dr. Vivien Brown

“The impact is going to be seen both immediately and down the line, as we see people not getting diagnosed, not getting treated,” says Dr. Vivien Brown, a family physician, associate professor with the department of family and community medicine, University of Toronto. “And ultimately, we may see an increase in fracture risk and fracture rate.

The COVID-19 pandemic has sent a wave of uncertainty across the globe. In the Philippines especially, where many Filipinos place a premium on health, a pall of fear and anxiety can be felt over almost every facet of daily life.

Filipinos are naturally inclined to value personal relationships and family over things like material health, so many hold the belief that a healthy life is a happy life. But how can Filipinos sharing that belief cope with a global pandemic?

This is part of the motivation behind Cocolife’s Happy & Healthy Movement, which seeks to encourage Filipinos to take charge of their health and happiness. Recognizing that to live a life that prioritizes both, Cocolife advocates for a lifestyle that makes good choices with a clear and healthy vision.
