Winter Safe Driving Tips #1

Winter driving can be challenging, but these tips can help you stay safe.
1. Give yourself at least 15 extra minutes of driving time to allow you to relax, focus on the traction available, and adapt without the painful distractions of arriving late at your destination.
2. Ensure visibility is clear by removing snow and ice from windows, wiper blades, and front vent intakes before driving.

3. Invest in quality snow tires and have them properly inflated. In the cold, the pressure inside your tires will drop and cause them to work less effectively, reduce feedback, and waste fuel.

The Customer-Pharmacist Relationship

It’s important to have a good relationship with your pharmacist, as they are a valuable source of information and can help you make decisions on and better understand your medications and overall health. A good rule of thumb when it comes to determining what kind of relationship you have with your pharmacist is whether you know them by their first name. Pharmacists who offer a more personal experience can provide more individualized, specific information on your prescriptions. Your pharmacist should be available to answer questions you have and to explain in detail any medications you are taking for the first time.

Identifying Visual Disorders

Some signs of visual disorders include having difficulty learning to read, needing to use a finger as a guide when reading, and holding written material too close to the face when reading. Correction is possible. The earlier the vision problem is discovered, the less your child will struggle, but it is also never too late, even for adults. A complete developmental vision evaluation identifies problems with focusing ability, eye movement control, eye teaming and depth perception, visual perception, visual information processing, retained primitive reflexes, and the ability to sustain visual performance adequately to meet the visual demands of the classroom.

Massage Your Nervous System

Massage therapy does not only improve your body´s physical state, but it also has a dramatic effect on your nervous system. Your nervous system is the one that maintains your body´s homeostasis, which is the state of equilibrium, balance or stable internal environment of your body. Research has shown that therapeutic massage therapy stimulates the nervous system to produce hormones that have tremendous benefit on the entire body. This stimulation removes the toxins and wastes in a more efficient way, helping oxygen to flow without difficulty through your body´s systems, restoring vitality and energy.

Master Your December Stress!

December has many things happening. The sun goes down earlier, making daylight hours short, and we don’t get a lot of sun. Work seems to be busier, and there are more commitments. With all of this pressure, it is easy to feel a little less than yourself. If the stress and anxiety are getting to you, it may be time for an acu-nap. Acupuncture has been shown to be a promising treatment for anxiety and stress. Making time for yourself is also recommended. So, make a bit of time for yourself and get in for an acu-nap to get the benefits of both.

Managing Disagreement About Parent’s Care
Siblings w/ Parents

Conflict between siblings is relatively common when it comes to making decisions on caregiving responsibilities. Left unchecked, these spats can quickly unravel into full-blown family conflict — all while an elderly parent is waiting to receive the support he or she needs. But who’s going to pay for all of this? Money is one of the most frequent sparks that lights conflict between siblings. Some families find it’s easier to work through disagreements when there is a neutral party there to act as a ‘referee’. Someone like a family counselor or mediator can help keep the discussion moving in the right direction.
