It’s important to see your denturist once a year to ensure oral health is maintained and the dentures have proper stability and fit. We want to avoid any damage to the tissue and oral cavity, as well as ensure the temporomandibular joint is supported by a proper vertical dimension, and centric bite is maintained. It is greatly encouraged to visit your denturist for an oral exam, because they believe that a proper fitting denture and healthy oral cavity contribute to a healthy, holistic balance within the body.

Online Dating Vs. a Matchmaker
Online dating can be exhausting, dangerous and demoralizing. Hours of searching profiles, followed by unsuccessful date after date can result in dating ‘burn out’. Furthermore, when it comes to online dating, you never know who you are really meeting. You have no idea about their actual age and relationship status, their true intentions or if they have a criminal history. Online dating can be extremely dangerous. This is why I recommend a professional matchmaker. An experienced matchmaker will introduce you to the right match, who is screened, and hand picked for you. Finding true love is important and hiring a matchmaker could be the best decision you ever make.
Why Do We Need Sunglasses?
When it comes to sunglasses, we all know that we should be wearing them. But why? There are many benefits to wearing sunglasses, including protecting our eyes from damaging radiation and ultraviolet (UV) rays. High-quality sunglasses will filter out 99 to 100 percent of UV rays (sometimes called “sunburn rays”), which can help prevent UV-related eye disorders such as macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss in older people, and cataracts, a major cause of blindness and visual impairment. People of all ages are at risk, including children, and certain medications can increase your risk. Protect your eyes today!
Essential Oils in the Nursery
Here are some examples of how you can use essential oils in your nursery. Lavender oil soothes skin, eases tension, and promotes a relaxing atmosphere. Add a few drops to a spray bottle with water and mist sheets to promote feelings of restful sleep. You might also try diluting a drop of lavender with coconut oil for a soothing bedtime massage. Applying a diaper cream with lavender and tea tree oil can provide soothing, cooling relief to your little one. Chamomile provides calming, grounding effects and can be diffused day or night to ease feelings of tension or nervousness.

Exercising with Shoulder Pain
When dealing with shoulder impingement, avoid resisted shoulder exercises with a pronated grip (palms facing down), as the tendons will be pinched in this position. The weakened rotator cuff is unable to maintain adequate space between the bones in the shoulder, causing the tendons to rub, which will aggravate symptoms. Exercises should be done in pain-free range of motion with proper form. It is more important to restore movement and increase endurance by doing higher repetitions than overloading with heavy weight. Make sure to emphasize deep breathing and take a 45 to 60-second break in between sets.
Yard Work Causing You Pain?
Summer is here and with it comes the joys of planting gardens and tending to your yard. Many people will find themselves dealing with pain as they putter around their green space. The pain is often a result of a simple mechanical imbalance in the way you move. Doing repeated movements when there is a mechanical imbalance can lead to some muscles and/or joints becoming overused, which may lead to pain and injury. A physiotherapist can help determine which structures are causing the imbalance, help correct the imbalance, and provide a simple home exercise program to get you back in your yard working pain free!
Detox through Your Gut
Did you know the most effective detox is through the digestive system, kidneys, and liver? Ganban-yoku – a Japanese thermal therapy – can help improve organ function by increasing the core temperature as far-infrared rays released from the natural stone beds gently raise core temperature. As a result, people suffering from poor digestive function can experience much-improved bowel movement days after the session. Not to mention, healthy guts not only help with the detox, but can improve the immune system and mental health also. Take good care of your stomach this summer. Guts are your second brain, after all.
The Diet/Mental Health Connection
Studies around the world are now confirming that diet affects mental health. Take one study, for example, where researchers in China and the U.S. found that when observing nearly 5,000 adults over the age of 60, those who were malnourished were 31% more likely to be depressed than those who weren’t malnourished. Another study of 500 participants over the age of 67 found that adding olive oil or mixed nuts to one’s diet can improve cognitive function. In a meta-analysis of over 34,000 people, researchers found that participants who followed a Mediterranean diet were less likely to develop cognitive disorders.

Freedom at Any Age
Rather than being confined to the inside of your home or relying on friends and family to take you out, consider the freedom of a mobility scooter. They provide the freedom to get around, they conserve physical energy, which can keep you out and about longer, and they also provide you access to places you may not have previously been able to go. They also provide stability and safety, both indoors and outdoors, reducing the risk of falls and injury. Do some research and access free consultations before making a purchase to ensure your or your loved one’s needs are met.
