Curb Holiday Sugar Over-Indulgence
With the holidays right around the corner, here are some tricks to minimize that over-indulgence. Try to keep up with your exercise regime to help your body process the excess sugars and calories and to keep feelings of bloating or indigestion down. Before a party, have a high-fibre snack to decrease the amount of sweets eaten and try to limit yourself to one cocktail and intersperse that with sparkling water. Drink warm lemon water with some added apple cider vinegar to support blood sugar and digestion, and add turmeric and ginger for anti-inflammatory effects. As for your cooking and baking, explore recipes with healthy sugar alternatives.
Live Your BEST Lung Life!
Inhale. Exhale. This holiday season here are three things to talk to your health provider about to keep you breathing easier. 1) Don’t ignore the snore. If you snore and are tired during the day, you may have sleep apnea, a disease where you stop breathing in your sleep that requires treatment. Ask about a sleep apnea test. 2) Keep up to date on your vaccinations. Prevent influenza, pneumonia, COVID and RSV. 3) Don’t ignore a cough, wheeze, shortness of breath or chest tightness. Ask about a spirometry test. Learn more at www.LungSask.ca.

Holidays with Dementia
Many older adults with Alzheimer’s or dementia enjoy and want to be included in holiday festivities. However, the added activities could cause increased agitation and confusion, unpredictable behavior, or mood swings. To create a stress-free, happy holiday season, try to scale things back and modify activities so they’ll feel calm and safe. Focus on a few of the most meaningful traditions. Ask which activities they value most. That could mean trimming the Christmas tree, lighting the menorah, singing songs, or baking special holiday treats. Even if your older adult might not remember these holiday activities later, the warm feelings they’ll have is a different kind of memory their body will carry for a while
Live Blood Analysis
Darkfield microscopy is a form of live blood analysis that allows the practitioner and patient to have a detailed look at the individual’s health. A singular drop of blood gets suspended under the microscope and projected onto a screen. From there you can see and analyze what your blood consists of and view any deficiencies or abnormalities that may be present. Darkfield Microscopy shows nutritional deficiencies, gut problems, underlying infections, bacteria presence, autoimmune reactions, and much more. Microscopy was invented almost 400 years ago and has expanded through technology such as video cameras and monitors, that now allow for immediate, beneficial visual information.
Balancing Stress & Celebration
December is simply a difficult month! Balancing negative stresses and positive happiness may seem impossible. One way to help yourself get through it is to pay special attention to your INTENTIONS. These are the thoughts you have before you act on them. For example, during the first week of December, say to yourself as often as you can, “I intend to experience joy and laughter even a tiny bit each day of this month” and then VISUALIZE yourself laughing and feeling happy. Just by saying and visualizing your intention, you have increased the chances of this being your reality by up to 75% more.
Coping with Loss
When your loved ones reach a certain age, deaths and funerals become common place; scanning the obituaries becomes a morning habit. Dealing with these losses can take a toll. Funerals play an important part in honouring and remembering the life of someone who was important to you. The living can come together, support each other and share their grief. If your loved one has recently attended a funeral, talking about what they liked or did not like about it, may lead to not only discovering what their wishes are for their funeral, but can help them cope with the loss they have just experienced.
