Regaining Connection To Ourselves

Feeling stuck or emotionally stagnant during life transitions can deeply impact our physical and mental health, careers, and relationships. Life transitions can lead to a sense of disorientation, self-doubt, or anxiety, which differs from simple situational changes like moving to a new town. Transitions carry psychological weight and meaning, involving a process of reorientation that often influences how we see ourselves. It’s crucial to take a moment to acknowledge what has been lost—whether it’s a significant relationship, an aspect of ourselves, a previously anticipated path, or a choice we didn’t make.

SUPA Mobility Trial.

“The purpose of the Supporting Physical Activity for Mobility (aka SuPA) study is to determine whether 6 months of one-on-one health coaching or group-based health education sessions will increase positive lifestyle behaviors, such as physical activity participation, and improve mobility in individuals who are experiencing challenges with their mobility (e.g., slower walking). In the health coaching group, a kinesiologist will help guide you to develop physical activity goals to increase physical activity time and intensity. The education group will receive interactive education sessions covering topics that improve health behaviors such as sleep, healthy eating, goal setting, and falls prevention.”

The Link Between Nutrition & Aging

Up to half of older adults are at risk for malnutrition, a condition that makes them vulnerable to increased risk of falling, slower recovery times, repeat hospitalizations, and possibly death. Thankfully, older adults, their caregivers, and loved ones can take several steps to better understand the factors that influence their nutritional needs and create a personalized plan for healthy eating: *consulting a doctor or registered dietitian; *focusing on nutrient-rich staples; *staying hydrated; and *addressing food insecurity. Comfort Keeper caregivers can help prepare nutritious, sustaining meals to help older adults maintain independence.

Who Sets the Price of My Home?

The market determines what a house is worth, specifically what similar homes in the surrounding area have sold for (not just listed: SOLD) in recent weeks. An agent reviews current listings, recent sales, and also cancelled or expired (unsold or failed) listings. Data considered includes list price, reduced price, and Days on Market. But at the end of the day, buyers in the market are the ones who ultimately offer what they think the house is worth; if agreeable to the seller, the “market value” is set.

Understanding Ozempic:

A Breakthrough in Type 2 Diabetes Management**
Ozempic, a prescription medication, has gained significant attention for its role in managing type 2 diabetes and supporting weight loss. The active ingredient in Ozempic is semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. This class of medication helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release, reducing glucose production by the liver, and slowing stomach emptying. These combined actions contribute to better glycemic control and can also assist in reducing appetite.

It’s important to note that Ozempic is not insulin, though it can be used alongside insulin in certain treatment plans for Diabetes. Your healthcare provider will determine the most suitable approach based on your individual health needs.

Ozempic’s innovative mechanism and dual benefits make it a valuable option for those managing type 2 diabetes and seeking additional support with weight management.
