Chronic stress is harmful to people of all ages, but its impact on older adults can be particularly severe, increasing the risk of age-related diseases, hastening cognitive decline, and even triggering falls. Stressors that are common amongst the elderly include loss of control, personal loss, declining health, financial worries, personal safety, and loss of independence. To reduce stress, get regular exercise, eat balanced meals to ensure the mind and body are properly fueled, and ask for help. Talking with a trusted family member, friend, or healthcare professional, at the very least, releases pent-up stress and may even lead to a solution.

Age related hearing loss or presbycusis, is one of the most common types of hearing loss. Typically, presbycusis affects a person’s ability to hear high frequency consonants like s, sh,th,f. Consequently, speech may seem muffled and the person may feel like they can hear but not understand. When the auditory centers of the brain are not stimulated properly, they can weaken over time. This results in a decline in a person’s speech processing ability. Fortunately, high frequency hearing loss can be improved with hearing aids and the sooner you start wearing them the better. Unlike devices from decades past, today’s hearing aids are programmable to provide amplification for the specific sounds that you’re missing.

Quitting smoking can be difficult and those who are looking to kick the habit can often use all the help they can get. Low level laser therapy (soft laser) can be a safe, affordable, and effective tool. Laser therapy sessions can help you quit smoking by addressing all three parts of addiction: physical, psychological, and detoxification. For the physical aspect, laser therapy helps stimulate key neuro-chemical pathways to produce endorphins and curb nicotine cravings. Laser therapy sessions can help with relaxation and allow you to focus on the psychological reasons for nicotine cravings, and as part of the sessions, detoxification techniques can also be discussed.
