Healthy Mouth, Healthy Life
Maintaining good oral health isn’t just about keeping your teeth and gums healthy – it can have an impact on the rest of your body as well. Research suggests that a buildup of dental plaque can be linked to other health issues, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes complications, and even various types of infections. Brushing and flossing away dental plaque each day can help keep buildup under control and limit your risk of other issues linked to poor oral health. It’s important to see your dentist regularly to ensure your teeth, gums, and other oral tissue are in tip-top shape.

Pets and Bee Stings
Warmer weather, blooming plants and buzzing insects can all spell trouble for your pets. If your curious pooch or pouncing feline gets stung by a bee, here’s what you can do: Scrape away the stinger if you can find it. Pulling the stinger with fingers or tweezers could rupture the poison sac allowing toxin to enter the bloodstream. If no medical history or treatments contraindicate, administer 1 mg Benadryl® per pound of your pet’s body weight and apply a cold pack for short periods at a time. If swelling is severe or if ANY breathing difficulties develop, do not delay—seek veterinary attention immediately.

Bioresonance Therapy and Hypertension
May is Hypertension Awareness Month, which is used to highlight the health issues associated with the condition. Hypertension, also called high blood pressure, means that your blood pressure is higher than normal. This results from the heart working too hard to push blood through arterial circulation. Chronic and untreated hypertension can lead to damage or weakening of the blood vessels or scarring of blood vessel walls, which can increase the risk of coronary heart disease. Along with making healthy lifestyle changes, those with hypertension may find that Bioresonance therapy is able to help with lowering and normalizing their blood pressure.
Maintaining Brain Health
When it comes to brain health, it’s always better to try to prevent any future problems rather than deal with them once it’s too late. Some ways you can help to prevent cognitive decline include: 1) Keep your fuel stable – Avoid sugary, high carb foods to minimize glucose spikes, which tax your system greatly. 2) Exercise regularly – Some exercise is better than none, especially as we age. 3) Get enough sleep – Most of the cleaning and repairing functions in the brain occur during sleep. There can be severe consequences when we try to skimp on that essential self-care step!
Time to Quit Smoking
May 31 marks World No Tobacco Day, a day that the World Health Organization uses to inform the public of the dangers of tobacco use. What better time to quit smoking? There are plenty of great reasons to kick the habit, including: lower blood pressure; better circulation; improved lung function; and lower risk of various types of cancer, stroke, and coronary heart disease. Quitting smoking can also reduce the risk of pregnancy complications and impotency, as well as can add years to your life expectancy. It’s never too late to quit and reap the many health benefits from doing so!
