A little preparation can go a long way in ensuring your success with quitting smoking. When planning your quit date, it’s helpful to remind yourself of the reasons you want to do this in the first place. There are major reasons to quit, such as reducing your risk for disease and cancer. What are your other reasons? Write down your top 10. Before your quit day, you may want to think of rewards you can give yourself, as well as activities which you can turn to if cravings get bad. Studies tell us that psychological preparation plays a large role in the likelihood of success with smoking cessation.

Staying Social with Hearing Loss
For someone with hearing loss, social situations are challenging. Help improve communication with them by following these simple tips: • Gain their attention before you begin talking. • Speak naturally and 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 changes, tell them what you are talking about now. • Seat them where they can see as many faces as possible. • Check in. If your listener is not following, convey the information again in shorter, clearer sentences.

Understanding EchoLight REMS Technology
EchoLight REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry) offers a breakthrough in bone health assessment, particularly for osteoporosis. Unlike traditional DEXA scans, REMS is non-invasive, radiation-free, and provides highly accurate results. It’s especially beneficial for individuals in their 30s and 40s, when bone density may begin to decline. Factors like genetics, poor nutrition, and lack of exercise can further weaken bones. Regular bone health monitoring with tools like REMS can help ensure early detection and proactive management, promoting healthier bones and reducing the risk of fractures.

Silent Struggle: Hearing Loss Dangers
Recent research has illuminated a concerning connection between hearing loss and an increased risk of falls, particularly among older individuals. Hearing impairment can compromise spatial awareness and balance, making it challenging to detect potential hazards and maintain stability. Social isolation, often a result of hearing loss, exacerbates these risks. Falls can lead to severe consequences, including fractures and head injuries. However, the good news is that addressing hearing loss through regular screenings and assistive technologies can significantly reduce these risks. Promoting awareness, routine check-ups, and a stigma-free approach to hearing aids can empower individuals to proactively manage hearing loss, enhancing both their quality of life and overall safety.
It Is Important to Remember
In Canada, Remembrance Day is November 11. We hold space for those who went to war and those who didn’t return. Everyone is affected by war and can be affected for many generations. If you had family members who went to war, you may have many different emotions and memories. You may have also inherited these emotions from your family members. The Body Code healing modality assists in releasing these inherited trapped emotions, helping you understand them. A Certified Body/Emotion Code Practitioner can help you release unprocessed negative (trapped) emotions and assist you in creating healthy memories. Contact Permelia today for an appointment.
Tips to Stay Healthy
With the change in weather comes the potential for colds, flu, and COVID! Everyone is encouraged to get their flu and COVID booster shots. Remember to sanitize regularly out in the community, especially if you are in the grocery store (the handles of the carts) and when you get back into the car. Comfort Keepers can help by doing your shopping for you, or if you get sick, we can help by just giving the care needed as you convalesce. Contact us today to set up a meeting and get a regular schedule in place for times like this. Let’s stay well this winter.
