Spring is finally here, and that means seasonal allergies will be on the rise. Seasonal allergies develop when the immune system overreacts to something in the environment, like mold spores or pollen. Do you have any of the most common symptoms – runny nose, sneezing, itchy & watery eyes, itchy sinuses, throat, or post-nasal drip? You are most likely experiencing allergies. Your pharmacist will be happy to discuss preventing seasonal allergies and minimizing the severity of your symptoms. They will help you choose the right medication for you, how it works and how to use it.

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat relax too much to allow normal breathing. When the muscles relax, your airway narrows as you inhale, and breathing may be inadequate for 10 seconds or longer. Your brain senses this impaired breathing and briefly rouses you from sleep so that you can reopen your airway. You may make a snorting, choking or gasping sound. You are more at risk for developing sleep apnea if you are overweight, an adult male, use drugs or alcohol, are a smoker, have a family history of sleep apnea, or if you have a certain medical condition such as Type 2 Diabetes.

Keeping your feet in tip-top shape is important, not just so they look good, but also to keep them healthy. Pedicures are a luxurious, relaxing experience, but they provide many other benefits too: 1) Helping retain the moisture in your skin to prevent cracking, blisters, and other problems. 2) Reducing the risk of infection and ingrown nails by cleaning and cutting nails. 3) Removing dead skin cells by exfoliating to help prevent bunions or corns. 4) Promoting blood circulation and relieving tension in the calves and feet through massage. If you’re having a spa day, don’t forget about your feet!

Acting as an Estate Executor can require a lot of time and work, and can be a stressful role to fill. Clear language in a Will establishing both the entitlement to compensation and the amount can prevent disputes. If the Will does not address Executor compensation, a discussion about that issue should take place early in the estate administration process. The Executor and the beneficiaries, with the assistance of the lawyer for the Estate, can agree what compensation the Executor will receive or resolve any disputes in that regard so that the Executor can focus on performing their duties.

It is due to the hard work and support of Royal Lepage Realty Network Norm Jenson, Tammy Jenson, Jan Carr and Janice Mercer that we have an elder abuse safe house in Red Deer. They spearheaded the fundraising efforts and engagement of many Red Deer Businesses to remodel an apartment that is used as a safe house for seniors who are facing abuse from their family. Corporate support like this really shows how business and non-profits can work together for the betterment of the community.
