These days the mobility market is full of possibilities. 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. Battery powered scooters have come a long way and are now more affordable than ever. They provide the freedom to get around, they conserve physical energy, and they also provide you access to places you may not have previously been able to go. Along with the freedom, mobility scooters offer an element of safety.

A Natural Source of Probiotics
Fermented foods are the most natural source of probiotics – bacteria that are good for your gut. As one of the oldest ways to preserve food, fermenting involves a process called lactofermentation, where bacteria feed on starches and sugars in food and create lactic acid. This promotes good bacteria and beneficial B vitamins, vitamin K, enzymes, and short chain fatty acids that are great for our health when consumed. Some common food items that contain probiotics include yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, milk and water kefir, certain cheeses, tempeh, and miso. Try adding as many fermented foods as possible to your daily diet!
The Effects of Stress on Your Hair
It has been said that stress can make you go gray or cause you to lose your hair. But can it? Hair loss due to stress can occur after a traumatic life event such as divorce, death, or severe financial worries. This temporary hair loss, called ‘telogen effluvium,’ can also be caused by factors such as hormonal changes, illness, or poor diet. Hair evolves in a cycle of growth (anagen); transition (catagen); and resting (telogen). Prolonged or extreme stress can cause hair to prematurely enter telogen and break more easily. Stressful events can shock the hair cycle, pushing more hair into the shedding phase.
Are You Ready to Age in Place?
As our population continues to age, senior home care services are becoming increasingly vital. These services provide elderly individuals with the support they need to maintain their independence and dignity while aging in place. Just Like Family Home Care offers practical assistance with daily living activities, such as bathing and dressing, meal planning and preparation, companionship, and emotional support. With the right care and attention, seniors can live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives in the comfort of their own homes.
Time for a Pedicure!
Keeping your feet in tip-top shape is important, not just so they look good, but also to keep them healthy. Pedicures are a luxurious, relaxing experience, but they provide many other benefits too: 1) Helping retain the moisture in your skin to prevent cracking, blisters, and other problems. 2) Reducing the risk of infection and ingrown nails by cleaning and cutting nails. 3) Removing dead skin cells by exfoliating to help prevent bunions or corns. 4) Promoting blood circulation and relieving tension in the calves and feet through massage. If you’re having a spa day, don’t forget about your feet!
