Laughter is the Best Medicine
I told my doctor that I broke my arm in two places – he told me to stop going to those places.
CNOY Fundraising Event
Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) is a winterrific family-friendly 2 or 5 km fundraising walk in support of local charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. On February 22, 2025, Canadians in over 200 communities will step outside the warmth and comfort of home to shine a light of welcome and compassion in their communities. In Winnipeg Centre, CNOY helps Raising the Roof Winnipeg provide shelter, care, and holistic support to women and families experiencing homelessness to heal and find hope.

Food for a Healthy Brain
Good nutrition plays a key role in brain health for seniors. A balanced diet rich in nutrients helps protect cognitive function, memory, and mood. Foods high in antioxidants, like berries and leafy greens, combat oxidative stress, while omega-3 fatty acids from sources like fish reduce inflammation linked to cognitive decline. Whole grains provide steady energy, and nuts, seeds, and avocados supply healthy fats essential for brain health. Seniors should also aim to reduce refined sugars and saturated fats, which can negatively impact cognition. Staying hydrated and limiting processed foods also helps. Prioritizing a nutrient-dense diet supports overall brain vitality and mental sharpness.
Dentures and Dry Mouth
Dry mouth is a condition that involves the salivary glands not producing enough saliva to adequately keep the mouth moistened. This lack of saliva can alter the fit and comfort of dentures, since saliva helps dentures retain their suction and stay in place and also has a lubricating effect that keeps dentures from rubbing on the gums and creating sores. Those who take certain medications, are older, use tobacco and alcohol, or snore while they sleep, are more susceptible to dry mouth. If you’re experiencing dry mouth symptoms as a denture-wearer, contact your denturist to discuss your options.
Eye Conditions and Aging
Although the risk of eye diseases rises with age, regular eye exams and recommended management/treatments can help prevent vision loss. Five common eye conditions associated with aging include: 1) Cataracts causing clouding of the eye lens and blurred vision. 2) Diabetic Retinopathy causing damage to the retina caused by high or variable blood sugar levels, blurred or fluctuating vision, and blind spots. 3) Macular Degeneration – blind or blurry spots in vision, reduced ability to see colours. 4) Glaucoma – blurred vision, eye pain, loss of peripheral vision. 5) Dry Eye Syndrome – tearing, sensitive, painful eyes.
Have a Smoke-Free 2025
Something about leaving an old year behind and looking ahead at the clean slate of a new one inspires most of us to try our best to reach our goals. We think about making lasting positive changes in our lives, and we do it with hope and enthusiasm. If you’re planning to start the new year without a cigarette in your hand, but have had no luck sticking with past New Year’s resolutions, consider laser therapy. Laser therapy can help to control cravings and withdrawal symptoms. In clinical studies, patients report a noticeable reduction in cravings, and have a higher chance of success in quitting.
