Regular exercise offers boundless mental health benefits. It’s not just about physical fitness; it’s a potent tool for stress regulation. Engaging in exercise triggers the release of mood-boosting neurotransmitters like endorphins, dopamine, and oxygen, fostering a sense of well-being. When complemented with other treatments, exercise proves invaluable in alleviating symptoms of various mental health conditions such as depression and ADHD. Specifically, interval training, combining cardio with recovery workouts, emerges as particularly effective in enhancing mental health and overall well-being. By prioritizing exercise, you not only improve your physical health but also nurture a resilient and balanced mind.

Avoid Denture DIY
Trying to adjust or repair your denture yourself can easily cause irreparable and permanent damage and negatively affect how they fit. If you break your denture, if a tooth falls out, if you notice they’re cracked, or if they’re simply uncomfortable and you’re feeling like they need an adjustment, a professional denturist can help. Denturists will ensure that any repairs are completed properly, eliminating any problems that could occur if you try to fix your dentures yourself. Most adjustments can be made while you wait, and today’s modern technology means that many repairs can be completed within an hour.
May is Celiac Awareness Month
During this month, help us spread awareness for Celiac disease. Celiac disease is a chronic digestive and immune disorder that damages the small intestine. The disease is triggered by eating foods containing gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Over time, this reaction damages your small intestine’s lining and prevents it from absorbing nutrients. The intestinal damage often causes diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, bloating and anemia, and can lead to serious complications. Your doctor will explain the gluten-free diet and may refer to you a registered dietitian who specializes in treating people who have celiac disease.
Allergy Season Is Back
Many people suffering from seasonal hypersensitivities, such as head pressure, itchy eyes, and a runny or stuffy nose this allergy season will find only temporary relief, or no relief at all, from over-the-counter remedies. Alternative approaches, such as nutritional supplementation and Biofeedback focus on more than just symptomatic relief. They enable the body’s ability to remove existing allergens embedded in the sinus tissues, thereby minimizing the histamine and inflammatory reactions. This stops the over-production of mucus that the body makes to try and push the allergens out. Take a different approach this allergy season – treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

PEMF: A Powerful Anti-Aging Therapy
Humans are biological, chemical, and electrical beings. As such the health of our 100 trillions cells are constantly being challenged through the natural aging process and environmental factors such as Wi-Fi, cell phones, power transmissions, and food additives. This takes a significant toll on our cellular health. Enter PEMP (pulsed electromagnetic field therapy), the sole proven technology for enhancing our health on a cellular level through the increased flow of electrons. This powerful therapy reduces chronic pain and inflammation, eliminates toxins, increases bone density, improves brain function (FDA approved for Alzheimer/Parkinson’s) and more.

Resilience Is Critical For A Happy Life
Charles Darwin once said: “It’s not the strongest or the most intelligent that survive, but those who are most adaptable to change”. Control is an illusion that we all wrestle with in our own way. The “good” and the “not so good” comes and goes in everyone’s life, with the only real constant being change. One of the biggest source of unhappiness lies in not being able to adapt to the change that comes into our lives. When we dwell and cling to the dissappointment of unmet expectations of what was supposed to happen but didn’t see coming, it makes it more difficult to adapt, shift and change course. Being able to shift gears, grieve and welcome new direction and possibility opens flow. What we choose to focus on affects our happiness and how empowered we feel in the world.

Pharmacist’s Tick Season Safety Tips
As tick season approaches, it’s vital to arm yourself with knowledge to safeguard against tick bites that could potentially lead to Lyme disease. Pharmacists emphasize preventative measures as the first line of defense. 1. Start by wearing bright colored long sleeves and pants when venturing into wooded or grassy areas. 2. Opt for insect repellents containing DEET, or picaridin. 3. Conduct regular tick checks on both yourself, and your pets after outdoor activities; ensuring you check in hard to see areas such as the scalp, groin, and skin folds. Promptly remove any attached ticks using fine-tipped tweezers, grasping the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible. Remember, early detection and swift action are key in combating Lyme disease.
