Oral Health Month
April is Oral Health Month in Canada and a great reminder to practice good oral hygiene! Here are five tips for maintaining good oral health: 1) Make healthy food choices and limit sugary and highly acidic foods to avoid tooth decay and acid erosion. 2) Don’t smoke or use tobacco products, which can stain teeth, cause gum damage, give you bad breath, cause tooth loss, and even lead to oral cancer. 3) Brush twice and floss once daily. 4) Make note of any oral issues you have, including sensitivity, bleeding, pain, or strange lumps. 5) Visit your dentist regularly.

Get Your Mouth Checked!
An oral health exam is critical to the maintenance of your overall wellbeing. You should have your mouth checked at least once a year for prevention and treatment of any ailments. Even if you don’t have any live teeth, it’s important to make sure there are no signs of infections or early signs of cancer, growths, or cysts, and that your dentures are fitting you well. Leaving problems untreated usually leads to pain, periodontal disease, or tooth loss, and could make treatment more difficult, so it’s best to deal with problems early, or, if possible, prevent them.

Better Breathing Behaviours
Did you know your breath learns? Breathing behaviours can serve us well in certain circumstances, like fast, full breathing when we are in danger so that we can move to safety. But what if that becomes your primary state of breathing, even when you’re not in danger? That breathing habit can have long term consequences on your health by mimicking, creating or exacerbating disease due to long term reduction in O2 to your brain and body. Effective behavioural counselling with a Certified Breath Behaviour Analyst can help you identify and correct dysfunctional breathing behaviours so you can breathe in healthier ways.
Product Review: Orange TKO
Orange TKO is a natural, concentrated citrus product that is very effective and versatile, smells great, and costs less to use thanks to its powerful cleaning abilities. It’s a fantastic natural alternative for all of your cleaning needs, including removing stains and odours. Our homes are filled with hidden toxins found in kitchen and bathroom cleaners, bleach, ammonia, carpet shampoos, and more. These toxins are often absorbed through our skin and lungs as we “clean”. Kick the chemicals out of your home, along with the toxic residues and hazardous fumes, and see what the power of nature can do.
Reimagine Mobility
A mobility scooter is a lifestyle-enhancing vehicle that can help you rediscover a sense of freedom and mobility. To get the most out of your scooter, you need the right one for you and your lifestyle. Things to consider include: – Can it be transported by car, taxi and plane? – Does it come apart and go back together easily? – Are the parts light enough to lift? – What are the weight restrictions? Take into account the things that you transport on a regular basis not just your own weight. Mobility scooters may be covered by extended health care plans.
Electro-magnetic Fields (EMFs)
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.
