Perfect Smile for 2022

Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You’ll achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life. The best part about the whole process is that most people won’t even know you’re straightening your teeth.

Help Protect Song Birds

North American bird populations have declined by nearly 3 billion since the 1970s, due to habitat loss, invasive species, climate change, and pesticides. You can help make the world a better place for birds and wildlife with just a few simple actions. 1) Make windows safer by using decals, screens, soap, or string to keep birds from hitting them. 2) Keep cats indoors. 3) Use native plants to provide food and shelter. 4) Avoid pesticides. 5) Drink shade-grown, forest-friendly coffee. 6) Use less plastic to limit waste. 7) Watch birds and share what you see to help monitor their populations.

The Importance of Iron

Iron is an essential element for blood production. About 70% of your body’s iron is found in hemoglobin, which is essential for transferring oxygen in your blood from your lungs to your tissues. If you struggle with any kind of inflammation, this production can be reduced, and being low on iron phosphate means your body will struggle to supply oxygen to your cells. Deficiency symptoms can include fatigue, low to moderate fevers, a weak immune system, a red face, nosebleeds, sore throats, anemia, and blood problems. Luckily, iron phosphate can easily be supplemented with homeopathic cell salt #4 Ferrum Phos.

Moving to Assisted Living Facilities

Moving into an assisted living facility can be a major decision for seniors, and one that needs to be considered carefully. It’s a significant life change that can sometimes lead to feelings of anxiety or depression. This isn’t surprising, considering what’s involved in the decision – feeling a loss of independence, moving away from the home you know, and possibly having a completely different schedule to adjust to. It’s important to talk to loved ones and health professionals about any negative thoughts or feelings you might be having, as it is a very big change for your future health and wellbeing.
