Rebooting for a BETTER You!

Life can get busy, stressful, and downright wild sometimes. And more often than not, we put our own well-being towards the bottom of the to-do list. Not this month! This month is about getting back to better. There’s a reason flight attendants tell parents to put their own masks on before helping others. You must take care of yourself in order to care for others. You know your body better than anyone else. If you know it’s time to get back to feeling your best, a well-designed supplementation system rooted in science can help benefit you mentally and physically!

Learning to Deal with Grief

Most of us have little formal education on how to handle grief. Much of what we learned as children came from watching how the adults around us tried to deal with the pain of loss. Since they also had no formal education on dealing with their grief, they were struggling as well. In many cases, they tried to cope by burying that pain in their heart and never talking about it. That didn’t make it go away, it just took away their ability to truly feel happy. But it is never too late to take recovery action!

Diabetic Neuropathy

Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by diabetes. Over time, high blood glucose levels can damage the small blood vessels that nourish your nerves with oxygen and nutrients. Without enough oxygen and nutrients, your damaged nerves can cause a loss of sensation in your feet, while others may experience a burning or shooting pain in their lower legs. VoxxLife HPT has been proven to improve circulation. In a clinical study involving 1,000 participants, more than 90% reported significant reduction in pain from diabetic neuropathy by using VoxxLife HPT technology.

How Healthy Is Your Home?

Are the chemicals you’re using to clean your home actually doing more harm than good? The average household contains more than 60 harmful chemicals, and these can negatively impact your health and the health of your family. Cleaning with harsh chemicals can result in irritation in the eyes or throat, headaches, and even long-term effects like endocrine disruption (hormonal effects) and asthma. Consider using more plant and enzyme-based natural products that will get your home sparkling clean without sacrificing your family’s health. Natural ingredients can be just as effective, and provide the added benefit of being environmentally friendly as well!

When a Loved One Has Dementia

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. Be realistic when it comes to expectations for yourself and for your loved one. 2. Develop a routine. Those with dementia can struggle with confusion and frustration. Especially as the disease progresses, it is important to create a solid routine and schedule to provide some predictability and help keep some peace of mind. 3. Focus on nutrition. There is a strong connection between lifestyle choices such as diet and memory diseases.

What is Your Mouth Telling You?

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.

What is Emotional Reflexology?

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.
