Hotter days can impair the body’s ability to regulate temperature, which is especially challenging for older adults who adjust poorly to sudden changes and often have chronic conditions or medications that affect temperature control. Heat exhaustion indicates the body can’t stay cool, causing thirst, dizziness, weakness, and nausea, with possible excessive sweating and clammy skin. Resting in a cool place and hydrating can help, but if symptoms persist, seek medical care to prevent heat stroke. Heat stroke, marked by a temperature over 104°F, confusion, dry skin, and a rapid pulse, is a medical emergency requiring immediate cooling and medical attention. Enjoy the summer, but be safe!

A Call to Men
The fact is that your family and loved ones are counting on YOU for their experience of love, safety, and direction. The massive impact that we have as leaders and role models is unquestionable. That’s why as men and fathers, our commitment to our health and masculine integrity – which are inseparable – speaks volumes, then continues to speak for decades and generations. So if you want to change the course of your family legacy, start prioritizing your lifestyle habits because they determine not only your form and function, but ultimately how you show up as a man. “After working together for 90 days, Kai has had a profound effect on the trajectory of my life” – Will Cordingley –
Denture Care Tips
It’s important to continue proper denture and oral health care, even during the busy summer months. To keep them in good condition, rinse your dentures after meals to prevent buildup and stay hydrated to maintain oral moisture. Avoid leaving dentures in direct sunlight or hot environments, as this can affect the acrylic. Clean them daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner to remove bacteria (do not use toothpaste to clean your dentures). For a refreshing feel, store your dentures overnight in water with a bit of mouthwash. Regular denture check-ups are essential to ensure proper fit and function. Enjoy the summer with a confident and comfortable smile!

Choosing Contact Lenses
Contact lenses are a popular alternative to corrective eyewear. They can be worn full-time or part-time for sports and recreation. The two main categories are soft (or gel) lenses and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses. Soft lenses are more popular and available in various formats to correct far-sightedness, near-sightedness, and astigmatism. RGP lenses have an important role in certain types of astigmatism and with fitting irregular corneal surfaces. All contact lenses touch eye tissue, and as such are a medical device that must be professionally fit, including training for proper handling and for important hygiene considerations.

Let Us Help You Quit!
Are you finally ready to get rid of your cigarettes, for good? No matter what other programs you have tried and no matter how long you have smoked, all you need is a strong desire to quit. At Smartchoice Laser, we apply a low-level laser to your body’s natural energy flow points to stimulate the release of endorphins in the body. These same chemicals are raised artificially when you smoke. Laser treatment causes the body to feel effects similar to what you get when you smoke, relieving the physical withdrawal symptoms. For most people, physical cravings will be significantly reduced or completely eradicated.
