Dozens of exhibitors are on hand providing detailed information on proper nutrition, therapeutic solutions, fitness programs and other aspects of healthy living.

Many of the attendees that Black Press Media spoke with on Saturday were interested in nutritional health products and building a better diet.
B次元官网网址淚 like all the natural remedies, alternative solutions to pharmaceuticals,B次元官网网址 explained Saanich resident Lorna Leggett, who says she comes here every year. B次元官网网址淚 enjoy the vitamins, meditation tapes, alkaline sticks and stuff like that for a natural lifestyle.B次元官网网址
Sonia Chournard has been coming to the health show for almost a decade and during that time she says itB次元官网网址檚 gotten better, bigger, and crazier.
B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 a ritual, itB次元官网网址檚 been about 10 years of me coming here and itB次元官网网址檚 two hours well spent. ItB次元官网网址檚 the best way to try products before purchasing and you can taste them and see if they work for you.B次元官网网址
After 10 years, Chournard is quite familiar with many of the current trends and what is available on the market. But her main focus is searching for holistic ways to look after her health.
B次元官网网址淲hat I like the most, is you can talk to the people that are behind the formulas. You can have a chance that your normally wouldnB次元官网网址檛 have otherwise.B次元官网网址
