The amount of individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or Dementia is increasing at an alarming rate. Music therapy can help address some of the challenges that come about as a result of these diagnoses.

Music therapy also creates opportunities for increased reminiscence and cognitive stimulation, improving their quality of life through choice and meaningful social interaction! Helping the individual with Alzheimer’s/Dementia also helps the caregivers!

Shift Your Focus for Better Health
Your mind plays a powerful role in how your body reacts to the world around you. According to epigenetics, if you view your environment through fear and negativity, your body responds defensively, triggering the fight-or-flight response. This can slow digestion, raise stress hormones, and weaken your immune system. However, by focusing on love and hope, your body shifts into a state of relaxation and healing. If you’re stuck in a negative thought pattern, consider a B.E.S.T. (Bioenergetic Synchronization Technique) treatment to quickly bring your body out of fight-or-flight mode and back into balance.

Help improve communication with them by following these simple tips: • Gain their attention before you begin talking. • Speak naturally & don’t shout. Speak distinctly, at a normal rate, using pauses to give the person time to process speech. • Keep your hands away from your face while talking. • Avoid sudden changes of topic. And if the subject is changed, tell them what you are talking about now. • Seat them where they can see as many faces as possible. • Check in. If you think your listener may not be following, convey the information again in shorter, clearer sentences.
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month
Lung cancer is now the most diagnosed cancer in Canada, with 85% of lung cancer cases being caused by smoking. It also has one of the lowest survival rates: just 17% of people diagnosed with lung cancer survive for 5 years or more. And yet, despite the risks associated with smoking, it can be incredibly difficult to quit. In fact, quitting is one of the biggest challenges a smoker will face, but it is also one of the best ways to reduce the risk of cancer. Talk to your pharmacist about available options to help you finally kick the deadly habit.
