Tips for Clearing Congestion
Stuffy sinuses? Here are some things you can do now to feel and breathe better: Hook up a cool-mist humidifier or vaporizer and feel the relief a bit of moisture can provide. Try adding a couple of drops of peppermint or eucalyptus oil to the water. If you have neither humidifier nor vaporizer, take a steamy shower or try using a saline nasal spray or doing some nasal “irrigation” using a neti pot or nasal syringe. Drink plenty of fluids. Maintaining optimum hydration levels can help thin the mucus in your nasal passages, pushing the fluids out of your nose and decreasing the pressure in your sinuses.
Reset Your Mind, Body & Spirit
Embrace new goals and fresh beginnings this New Year by putting yourself first. A rejuvenating Sound Bath is not only a relaxing experience that sounds beautiful, but it is also a powerful tool for wellness. Science shows that it helps to reduce stress, ease tension and much, much more. This immersive experience uses resonant sounds from instruments like crystal singing bowls, gongs, and chimes to create beautiful waves of therapeutic vibrations. Many participants find the Sound Bath to be a deeply relaxing meditative journey, ideal for setting intentions and fostering a sense of renewal. Beginning the year with this mindful practice can create a harmonious foundation for the months ahead, nurturing mind, body and spirit.
Exercise Your Brain
Just as physical exercise can make and keep your body stronger, mental exercise can make your brain work better and lower your risk of mental decline as you age. Play games you are not already familiar with that involve strategy, like chess or bridge, and word games like Scrabble. Try crossword and other word puzzles, or number puzzles such as Sudoku. Read newspapers and books that challenge you. Get in the habit of learning new things like recipes, driving routes, or a musical instrument. Take a course in an unfamiliar subject. The more interested and engaged your brain, the more likely you’ll be to continue learning and the greater the benefits you’ll experience.

Floss your Teeth for a Cleaner Mouth
Do you floss your teeth? Flossing is an activity that you should not neglect. It is as important to floss every day as it is to brush your teeth. Brushing alone can’t reach the bacteria in the tight spaces between your teeth and under the gum line. Proper flossing helps remove the plaque and debris that adhere to your teeth and gums. It also helps to control bad breath by removing the decaying food that may be stuck between your teeth. Make it a habit to floss at the end of the day. Your mouth will be cleaner, and your dental hygienist will praise you.
