Deep breathing, like the 4-4-8 technique, reduces stress, calms the nervous system, improves focus, and supports better sleep. It may help with pain management, lower blood pressure, and boost oxygen levels. Practice by inhaling, holding, and exhaling slowly in a relaxed position to feel more centered and at ease. Closing your eyes can deepen relaxation and reduce distractions. Just a few minutes a day can make a noticeable difference in your overall well-being, helping you feel more balanced and refreshed.

Cortisone Injections for Injury Relief
Cortisone injections are commonly used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain from joint or soft tissue injuries. They contain corticosteroids, which mimic the body’s natural anti-inflammatory hormones. These injections are often administered directly into the affected area, such as a knee or shoulder. Relief may be felt within a few days and can last from weeks to months. Cortisone injections are typically part of a broader treatment plan, including rest, physical therapy, or other interventions to support long-term healing and prevent further injury.
Gum Disease While Wearing Dentures?
Dentures are a common solution for individuals with missing teeth, providing functional and aesthetic benefits. However, it’s important to remember that wearing dentures does not eliminate the risk of gum disease. In fact, improper denture care can contribute to gum problems. Gum disease can manifest as redness, swelling, and bleeding gums. When plaque and bacteria accumulate on dentures or denture-supporting tissues, it can lead to inflammation and infection. To prevent gum disease, it’s crucial to maintain proper oral hygiene by cleaning dentures thoroughly, letting your gums rest, and brushing the gums and tongue. Good oral care ensures a healthy smile, whether you have natural teeth or dentures.

Sleep Apnea and Stroke Risk
Sleep apnea, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is a sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This condition can lead to reduced oxygen levels, high blood pressure, and poor cardiovascular health,
all of which contribute to an increased risk of stroke. Studies show that untreated sleep apnea can make individuals more susceptible to ischemic strokes, which occur when blood flow to the brain is blocked.
Fun in the Sun
There’s something special about summer — longer days, open windows, and a healthy dose of sunshine. Vitamin D, often called the “sunshine vitamin,” supports bone health, mood, and immunity — and getting it naturally is one more reason to step outside this season.
Reliable Home Care offers flexible, compassionate support — whether it’s a walk around the block, a trip to the park, help preparing a refreshing summer meal, or your personal care needs, from foot care to prenatal and postpartum support — all tailored to your needs and budget; giving you peace of mind — so summer can feel a little brighter for everyone.
Which Sunscreen is Best?
Summer is here! Have you been protecting yourself against sun exposure? When selecting a sunscreen, go for the “broad spectrum” protection. Sunscreens with this label protect against both UVA and UVB rays. Make sure your sunscreen has a sun protection factor of 30 or higher. The SPF number is the level of protection the sunscreen provides against harmful rays. Higher SPF numbers do mean more protection, but the higher you go, the smaller the difference becomes. Secondly, look at the ingredients. Physical blockers (titanium dioxide, zinc oxide) provide the best protection and cause less skin irritation than chemical sunscreens.
