Do You Know Your Numbers?
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is associated with an increased risk of kidney damage, heart attacks and stroke. The most accurate way to measure blood pressure is at home using a home blood pressure monitor. Home blood pressure monitors are easy to use.

Eating with New Dentures (Part 2)
Food may taste different with dentures; however, your sense of taste should improve over time. When moving onto harder foods, cut your food into tiny pieces, this will help you control the bolus of food in your mouth. Chew slowly to avoid biting your cheeks or tongue. Try to chew on both sides at the same time; this will help keep your dentures more stable. Avoid tough (hard to chew) meats, instead eat poultry, fish, eggs, legumes, you can choose stewed or slow-cooked meats (which are softer). Perseverance is the key and keep your denturist updated if any problems occur.
Sore, Itchy, Burning Eyes?
It could be “Dry Eye”. This is a medical condition that occurs when the eye does not produce the correct volume of tears, when tear chemistry changes, or when tears disappear too quickly. Dry eye can be a temporary or chronic condition caused by risk factors such as hormonal changes, certain medications, diseases, ageing, and laser eye surgery. Dry eyes are not vision threatening but can affect everyday life in doing things comfortably like computer use and reading. It should be managed to avoid future potential problems such as corneal scars. See your Optometrist, as they will assist in prescribing proper relief of symptoms.
A House is More Than Just a Home
Having a place to live is a critical part to living a healthy life, and for those with mental illness, it’s more than just a place to sleep. Housing is considered a basic human right. Good housing can help rebuild and maintain independence, day-to-day routines, confidence and social networks. When housing is inadequate or unavailable, individual and community well-being may suffer. The high cost of rental housing and home ownership has created a shortage of affordable housing and is a leading contributor to poverty and homelessness. Housing isn’t just about a house—it’s part of a path to safety, security, and connectedness.

Laser Treatment for Acne
Acne and acne scarring can affect one’s self-esteem and self-image, and most people who experience breakouts will notice some scarring. Luckily, there are treatments available that can help reduce acne breakouts, as well as the appearance of scarring. Laser treatment of acne reduces inflammation through photo-selective absorption and controlled heating. The laser safely destroys overactive sebaceous glands, accelerates the healing process, and stimulates collagen remodeling. This trifecta approach allows for significant acne transformations without risk, pain, or side-effects. The treatment is mostly used on the face, but can also be used on the upper torso, back, arms, and neck.
