Rechargeable hearing aid technology is changing the game as they are convenient, easy to use and environmentally friendly. Popular among consumers for their comfort, versatility and ease of use, hearing aids are simply placed into their own recharging unit at bedtime. Visit one of our hearing clinics and talk with a qualified hearing healthcare professional about rechargeable hearing aids to see if they are right for you.
Service Your Dentures Regularly!
Many people believe that dentures last forever but the reality
is that they need to be serviced regularly and replaced about
every five years. Wearing the same dentures for more than five
years without having them checked can result in; softening of
the gums, painful and irritated gums, accelerated bone loss,
more laborious chewing and difficult digestion and a crumpled
mouth. It can also lead to headaches, ear aches, neck pain and
joint problems as well as a whole host of other issues. Regular
consultation with your denturist to have your dentures checked
and cleaned may prevent problems in the future.
Health of “Real Wellth”
Building on the concept of “Real Wellth”, the common themes that emerge as we look at what “health” means in today’s society explain how health is complex, multifaceted, a function of both individual and community/society.

Understanding what “health” means and then proactively focusing on building both personal and community health perpetuates more health for everyone. Pay attention to your health, engage in healthy living, and make it a priority!
Music and Dementia
The effects of dementia are devastating to individuals and their families. Researchers are keen to find ways to ease its symptoms and restore abilities and memory.

Music therapy may help reduce cognitive decline while improving the memory of people with dementia. In one study, test subjects performed better on memory tests when they listened to music.

How does CBD work?
Cannabidiol or CBD is a naturally occurring component of cannabis extracted from the cannabis plant. CBD is not psychoactive and does not produce the ‘high’ of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). All cannabinoids, including CBD, produce effects in the body by attaching to receptors in the brain or immune system. The human body has an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that produces some cannabinoids of its own and receives and translates signals from cannabinoids. The ECS helps to regulate functions such as sleep, immune-system responses and pain. CBD directs the body to use more of its own cannabinoids to produce the therapeutic effects associated with CBD.
