The link between hearing loss and cognitive decline continue to be heavily researched by many health care researchers. A recent study completed in 2023 (The Aging and Cognitive Health Evaluation in Elders (ACHIEVE)) stated: “In older adults who are at an increased risk for cognitive decline, hearing intervention (hearing aids, hearing ‘toolkit’, or counseling) was shown to slow down loss of thinking or loss of memory abilities by 48% over 3 years”. This same study found over 65% of adults over the age of 60 has hearing loss. Knowing there is a link between hearing loss increased cognitive decline for those who are at risk for memory issues it is important to have your hearing evaluated on a regular basis.
Healing with Reflexology
There are reflex points on your feet that relate to specific organs and glands in the body. Through the application of pressure on these reflexes using specific hand and finger techniques, reflexology therapy can relieve tension, improve blood circulation, and support the body’s efforts to function optimally. The benefits of reflexology include its ability to stimulate nerve function, increase energy, boost circulation, induce a deep state of relaxation and eliminate toxins from the body. Your feet will love the pampering and you may feel calm and a sense of well-being.
It’s Your Turn to Quit Smoking
Laser Therapy is an accu-pressure point therapy similar to acupuncture but without the dreaded needles. It is a modernized natural approach to help heal the body without the use of drugs. The entire procedure is external, and the laser treatment conducts low energy to accu-pressure points to your ears, face, hands, arm, legs, and feet. The first hurdle in quitting smoking is to get through the nicotine withdrawal phase, which people often dread. The laser treatments significantly reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, so people generally sail through this phase with greater ease and break their nicotine addiction.
Small Changes, Big Impact
Our heart works tirelessly, so we have to give it the care it deserves! We can start with simple changes: swapping processed foods for heart-healthy options like leafy greens, vegetables, nuts, and berries. Adding a brisk 20-minute walk to your daily routine—it’s a natural stress reliever and circulation booster. Staying hydrated and prioritizing quality sleep can reduce strain on our hearts. Stress management is important: practice gratitude daily, journaling, or deep breathing exercises. Finally, remember the power of connections—positive relationships can lower blood pressure and boost emotional well-being. A Certified Health Coach can help tailor these steps to your lifestyle, for lasting heart health!
