Science shows that music is a great brain booster. 4) Eat right. A healthy diet is crucial for cognitive health. 5) Learn something new. Keep your mind engaged!

If you know what depression feels like – the brain clouding, the flat moods, the tiredness – you’re not alone. You’ve likely felt butterflies in your stomach when you’re feeling nervous or anxious. Well, it turns out that the relationship between the brain and the gut is bi-directional. Our brains affect how our gut feels and our gut relays its signals of calm or alarm via the nervous system up to the brain. The goal when treating depression is to send a signal of safety – from your gut, from your mind and by lessening perceived stressors and burdens through detoxification.

Low-level radiation is one type of EMF exposure and is emitted from cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, computers, and even power lines. Some scientists report that this type of EMF exposure can cause sleep disturbances, including insomnia; headache; depression and depressive symptoms; changes in memory; and lack of concentration. You can reduce the risk by using the speakerphone function on your cell phone instead of holding it to your ear. Charge your phone in a different room at night, or put it on airplane/flight mode while you sleep. Products are also available that counteract harmful frequencies using healthy ones.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, you may wonder whether bringing your parents home from their retirement home or long-term facility to live with you temporarily is safest. Many people with parents in care facilities are concerned about the risk of COVID-19 spreading where people often share close quarters for eating and other activities. If you choose to bring your parents home to live with you temporarily and need additional help caring for them, consider home health care services. There is no long-term commitment, and you may be eligible for government or insurance coverage, as well as a tax deduction.

Loving someone with dementia can be a challenging task, one that puts a lot of pressure on a caregiver. Here are a few simple things to keep in mind: 1.

The state of your mouth can offer valuable insights into your dental, oral and overall health. Any bleeding when you brush your gums is a sign that you should see your dentist. Unhealthy gums can affect your overall health. Atherosclerosis, clogging of the arteries, has a strong link to gum disease. Pain on biting might mean a cracked tooth. Sugar sensitivity usually indicates a cavity. Tenderness to cold might just need a change of toothpaste. Tenderness to hot is likely to be more serious. The only way to find out, for sure, what’s going on is to see your dentist.

The body remembers what the head forgets. Emotional reflexology sessions were developed to detect the negative emotions, limiting beliefs and fixed mindset patterns trapped in cellular memory that steal time by keeping thoughts focused on reliving the past or being fearful of the future. The emotional connection to old memories may be released, giving you freedom to be mindful in the present. These sessions do not diagnose. They reveal imbalances influencing mental, physical and emotional dis-ease that create unnecessary stress. This therapeutic modality provides 60 relaxing minutes to dispose of yesterdays worry and let go of burdens so that you can feel lighter.

Weak pelvic floor muscles can result in urinary incontinence, which is the involuntary leakage of urine. The three different types of urinary incontinence include: 1. Urge, which is the sudden, intense urge to urinate frequently. 2. Stress incontinence, which is when exerted pressure on the bladder causes leakage. This can be caused by coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising. 3. Mixed incontinence, which is a combination of the first two types.
