Ask The Expert
Q: My husband can’t stand wearing progressive lenses and would rather have separate pairs of glasses for driving and reading. Is there something wrong with him or his eyes?
A: That’s an impossible question to answer in a short column. Progressive lenses, like bifocals, are intended to provide a convenient change in focus when needed. Everyone is different of course. Perhaps his visual tasks are more comfortable for him with non-progressive lenses. It’s also possible that he had a bad experience with improperly fitted glasses in the past. For guidance in your optical choices come see us at Mosaic – we provide a range of lenses for everyone!

Are You Always in ‘Fight or Flight’ Mode?
Massage therapy is undeniably effective at getting people tapped into their parasympathetic nervous system, which is more commonly called ‘rest and digest’. Unfortunately, many spend most of their days in ‘fight or flight’! When the parasympathetic nervous system is in charge, blood pressure and heart rate lower, breathing is fuller, oxygen and blood make it deeper into the body, tissues repair themselves, organs do their jobs better, and overall, mental health is much more relaxed and content. It’s not hard to understand why being in ‘rest and digest’ is more conducive to recovery, management and being better prepared to handle what life throws at us!

Key insights reveal tooth decay as the predominant childhood ailment, impacting 3 in 5 children—surpassing asthma’s prevalence by fivefold and resulting in 51 million school hours lost yearly. Prioritize your child’s oral well-being with an initial dentist visit by age one. Establish a routine: brush their teeth for two minutes twice daily, and assist until they can self-manage. Leverage fluoride’s enamel-strengthening prowess to combat cavities. Opt for tooth-friendly snacks like yogurt, cheese, fruits, and veggies, eschewing lingering stickiness. Embrace water as the optimal drink for both dental and overall health. Prioritize those little smiles!

Revitalize Your Lifestyle Now
Embarking on a post-career phase, some adopt unhealthy habits: skipping meals, relying on convenient yet un-nutritious food, early bedtime, isolation, and self-care neglect. Notice these signs? If some or all these behaviours have crept into your lifestyle, it’s time to upgrade your living arrangements. Imagine being served on site, chef prepared meals, having lively and interesting conversations and activities with your neighbors, being provided dedicated cleaning staff to keep your suite clean and have a space you can be proud to invite your family and friends to visit.
Get Your Mouth Checked!
An oral health exam is critical to the maintenance of your overall wellbeing. You should have your mouth checked at least once a year for prevention and treatment of any ailments. Even if you don’t have any live teeth, it’s important to make sure there are no signs of infections or early signs of cancer, growths, or cysts, and that your dentures are fitting you well. Leaving problems untreated usually leads to pain, periodontal disease, or tooth loss, and could make treatment more difficult, so it’s best to deal with problems early, or, if possible, prevent them.
