Starting the Conversation

Starting a discussion about care needs with a senior loved one can be difficult. Deciding when to start the conversation is important. It is never too early to discuss what care might be needed and the desires of the person that will be receiving care. 9 out of 10 seniors want to remain in their home as they age and in-home care can help them. There are many options for in-home care, from the type of care services to the number of hours a week. Making plans before there is an emergency or sudden problem in the senior’s home helps alleviate stress for everyone.

Maintaining Optimal Breast Health

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and these tips can help you support optimal breast health every day. 1) Diet and Lifestyle. Avoid plastics and caffeine, due to their phytoestrogenic effect. Increase veggies, fatty fish, herbs, and fibre; decrease meat, refined grains, and conventional vegetable oils. 2) Toxin Removal. Try lymphatic breast massage, sweating through exercise/sauna/etc., and dry skin brushing to remove toxins from fatty breast tissue. 3) Assessment. Thermal imaging is a great assessment tool to monitor for breast changes over time. 4) Hormone Optimization. Get tested for hormone imbalances and thyroid function through blood work or salivary/urinary testing. For more information and to book an appointment, contact us today.

What is Your Mouth Telling You?

The state of your mouth can offer valuable insights into your overall health. Pain while biting might mean a cracked tooth. Sugar sensitivity usually indicates a cavity. Tenderness to cold might just need a change of toothpaste. Tenderness to hot is likely to be more serious. Bad breath can be caused by poor oral hygiene. A good electric toothbrush, flossing and scraping your tongue all help. Throat infections also cause bad breath. Don’t assume that problems will resolve by themselves. See a dentist at least once a year. Remember: You don’t have to floss all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep!

Research local resources, from in-home care to assisted living facilities. Seek advice from professionals and support groups.
