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.
Restless Leg Syndrome
Have you ever been told that you kick a lot during the night? Or perhaps your spouse does. This could be due to Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). The nerve receptors in the bottom of your feet are hyper-sensitive, and this disorder is part of the nervous system that causes involuntary movement of the legs. RLS usually interferes with sleep and is also considered a sleep disorder. People with chronic diseases like Parkinson’s, diabetes, and peripheral neuropathy often experience RLS. Sleep is important, even more rest is important. So wear at least one Voxxlife sock to bed to calm the nerve receptors.
Allergies and Food Intolerances
Allergies and food intolerances usually result from our diminished ability to digest certain basic foods, such as milk, wheat, egg, or soy. Our digestive system may have weakened due to not having enough enzymes to break down the food, or some other reasons, including genetic factors. Once an allergy or food intolerance has developed, it is difficult for the immune system to correct itself and get back in shape. In time, the allergies may grow in strength and bring on additional allergies that cause increasing issues for us. Bioresonance can help to treat allergies and food intolerances swiftly and effectively.
HALT Emotional Eating
We are social and emotional beings and while we need food for energy, we also eat for pleasure, social connection, celebration and sometimes to avoid strong emotions. This is normal; however, problems can arise when food is the go-to relief for emotional discomfort. HALT, an acronym formed from: hungry, angry, lonely, and tired is a technique that involves becoming aware of the reason you are reaching for food. If hunger is not the primary driver, take a moment to pause and identify the emotion or situation at play. Then from that place of mindful awareness, you can choose to eat, or you can explore other options to meet your needs and soothe your emotions.
How Often Should I Get a Thai Massage?
If you want a Thai massage for the treatment of a chronic condition such as migraines, neck aches and backaches, the best strategy is to start with more frequent Thai massage sessions, and then slowly decrease the frequency of your visits as your muscles elongate and relax. For overly contracted muscles, you can start with bi-weekly visits for four to six weeks. If you have an acute condition such as a muscle strain or muscle spasms, you might want to consider weekly Thai massages for four to six weeks. Then, with self-care, you can reduce your number of visits to a maintenance schedule that is right for you, typically about once a month.
Is Your Spine Winter-Ready?
We all take the time to get our homes and yards ready for winter, but what about our bodies? Eat warm, nourishing foods that naturally increase your circulation, and stock up on vitamin D and zinc to help support your immune system. It’s also important to keep active throughout the winter. If you’re exercising outdoors, warm up prior to beginning and have the proper equipment so you don’t slip on the snow or ice. Maintaining your wellness routine is essential – talk to your Chiropractor about personalizing your routine to optimize your health in the upcoming months!
Socializing and Mental Health
Socializing regularly is an important way to maintain good mental health, but seniors can sometimes find themselves feeling isolated from family and friends. Lack of socialization can have a negative effect on the brain, and has been linked to conditions like depression, anxiety, and dementia. Socialization has been shown to improve cognition, mood, and memory recall, and can also improve physical health. Some ways to increase socialization include: joining exercise classes or walking groups, speaking with friends and family on the phone or via video conferencing, getting together with a friend to play card games, or joining seniors support groups.
Tips for a Healthy Prostate
Prostate cancer can have very similar symptoms to benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), caused by an enlarged prostate, or sometimes none at all. Signs to look for are urinary symptoms (frequency, urgency), fatigue, back pain or blood in the urine/semen. What can you do to maintain prostate health? Get quality sleep; stick to a diet rich in vegetables/phytonutrients, good fats, lean protein; and exercise! Supplementation (herbal and nutrient combinations) is very beneficial and a non-invasive treatment for BPH. Naturopathic medicine can provide additional support for prostate cancer. This can include decreasing side effects from conventional treatment and supplementation (oral and IV).
