Today more than ever your support is extremely valuable. With the increased cost of most goods and services these days, many seniors in our community are finding it hard to find the services that they can afford. Your support helps progress our services while playing a vital role in keeping seniors independent. With your support we can help allow seniors in Saskatoon to remain independent in their own homes. With your generosity, we look to help supplement the costs associated for some of our low income seniors in the community. We also use donation to fund programs that are free to any senior like our Friendly Caller program. Every dollar of support stays right here in Saskatoon. We have many lower income seniors that need our services and the generosity of your support allows us to be able to assist them. Now more than ever your support will help many seniors living in Saskatoon. Please visit our website at www.saskatoonservicesforseniors.ca and show your support for seniors today!

Weight Loss & Dentures
It may come as a surprise to you, but when you lose weight, your clothes are not the only thing that you’ll notice become loose! Your weight loss can affect the fit and suction of your dentures, causing them to be uncomfortable. Weight loss causes changes to your entire body, including your mouth and gums. However, there is a solution: your Denturist can perform a simple procedure called a reline. A reline will “tighten up” your dentures so they fit well, create good suction, and feel comfortable again.
Music and Brain Plasticity
Brain-imaging techniques have revealed the brain’s plasticity and have identified networks that music activates. The brain areas activated by music are not unique to music. These networks also process other functions. Musical and non-musical functions share systems. For example, motor control and executive control share circuits with music. Music can activate and drive complex patterns of interaction between the other two, so that a stroke patient and someone with Parkinson’s increases movement, and someone with traumatic brain injury increases cognitive functioning, such as problem solving or decision making.
Your Mental, Spiritual & Emotional Health!
With such busy schedules, most people often don’t take enough time for themselves. Negative energy can affect us without our awareness, but if you find yourself more irritable this could be the reason. Journaling 5 positive things that happen each day helps to shift the mind away from the negative. Starting your day with deep breathing/prayer/yoga can help relieve stress and focus the body and mind for the day. Take social media and electronics break – which have been shown to have a negative effect on mood, sleep, and self-esteem. Instead, head outside, go for a walk, enjoy nature by yourself or call a friend to join you for a long overdue visit!

Keto ‘The Right Way’
Trying to figure out how to go into nutritional ketosis can be a daunting task. There’s so much information on the internet that can cause confusion, and it can be incredibly time consuming. You likely have questions like: What should my calories be? Which foods should I eat and how much? What are macros? Why do they matter to my results? Instead of trying to figure it all out yourself, why not hire a Certified Keto Coach who can answer your questions and create a specialized plan for you? She takes out all of the guess work, allowing you to simply get results in far less time.
