Spring means two things: yard work and stiff, sore muscles. Stretching to prepare muscles for strenuous activities that have not been done since fall is very important. Simple things like doing arm circles, shrugging your shoulders, and touching your toes should be done before and after activity. If you do over exert and your neck, shoulder, arm, or back pain is not going away within a week, there are natural alternatives that can help. Options such as NIR Therapy and designed nutritional formulations will reduce inflammation and stimulate muscle repair to help you recover quickly and get back to enjoying spring.

Spirituality vs. Emotional Health
Many practices recommended for nurturing spirituality are similar to those recommended for improving emotional wellbeing. This is because there is a connection between the two—emotional and spiritual wellbeing influence one another and overlap, as do all aspects of wellbeing. Spirituality is about seeking a meaningful connection with something bigger than yourself, which can result in positive emotions, such as peace, gratitude, and acceptance. Emotional health is about cultivating a positive state of mind, which can broaden your outlook to recognize and incorporate a connection to something larger than yourself. Emotions and spirituality are distinct, yet deeply integrated.

Need Cosmetic Dentures?
Teeth have three main functions: chewing food, lip support, and speech. The loss of your teeth can have negative effects on your self-confidence and your overall quality of life. Since your teeth provide structure and support to your cheeks, tooth loss can result in the sagging of your face. It is essential that your missing teeth are replaced as soon as possible. A new set of cosmetic dentures can instantly improve your appearance and remove facial flaws. Age is inevitable, but cosmetic dentures can help brighten your smile and make you feel young again!
Gut Feeling
Poor gut health has been linked to fatigue, mood disorders like depression and anxiety, and a variety of conditions associated with nutrient deficiencies, such as anemia.
Fibre is a great way to keep things regular and increase the elimination of toxins and waste from your digestive tract. Eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains and grasses. If reaching the recommended 10 servings of vegetables per day seems unattainable, consider adding a greens powder to your daily routine to make things easier. Look for a product that is gluten-free, contains probiotics, and is cold-pressed, as this maintains enzymes that improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Here’s Something to Think About
Our brain shrinks as we age. Interestingly enough, recent studies have shown that brain shrinkage occurs faster in hearing impaired individuals. This happens because a lack of hearing stimuli doesn’t just affect the ears. It also affects parts of the brain that deal with speech and sound. Parts of the brain that stop receiving sound stimuli shrink at a rapid rate and can lead to early onset cognitive impairment like dementia and Alzheimer’s. If you have concerns about your hearing, don’t wait. Get your hearing tested today. The sooner you return auditory stimulation to these parts of your brain’s hearing system, the better.

Tis the Season for Allergens to Attack
Does spring mean the misery of allergies for you? Acupuncture is an excellent treatment that will lessen or prevent the onset of seasonal allergic misery. We have all seen or experienced the tearing, running nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, wheezing, coughing, itching, rashes and eruptions that signal an allergic attack. The usual suspects are pollen, dust, hair, fur, feathers, scales, wool, chemicals, drugs, insect bites, and various foods. Be proactive; practice preventative medicine. A few needles given prior to the onslaught of these substances PREVENT a serious bout of hay fever, allergic rhinitis, or other misery.
Save Yourself from “Tech-Neck”
You see it everywhere. People stooped over their phones, tablets, and computers. Heads pushed forward. They know it’s no good for their posture, but they have no idea how much damage is being done every day. That slumped posture cuts off blood supply to the spinal cord, creates chronic pain in your neck and shoulders, and begins to form a spectacular hump on your back. Not only that, but chronically poor posture can cause breathing problems and poor sleep, which will ultimately set you up for more disease, more fatigue, and faster aging as you get older. Tackle it head-on before it becomes a long-term problem.
