Belly Breathe
YOGA FOR EVERY-BODY: We adapt the yoga postures to an individual’s body rather than forcing a body to a pose. Benefits include increased strength, balance, and flexibility. Ease pain and improve heart health. Better sleep reduces stress. YOGA ANYWHERE: Belly Breathing: Sit straight or lay face-up. Hand on chest and one on belly. Exhale everything, big sigh, belly empties and shallows. Close your mouth and take a slow, deep breath in through your nose. When you breathe in, you want your belly to fill with air and get bigger like a balloon. Repeat. Find a class that suits your needs.

Overcoming Dentist Anxiety
Dental phobia has become ingrained into our society with phrases like ‘pulling teeth’ being used to mean difficult and unpleasant. As a result, an important part of the dentist’s role has become putting the patient at ease, making them secure and comfortable. Those with dental phobia tend to avoid dentists. Unfortunately, putting off regular checkups is a good way to end up with gum disease or other problems, which is why establishing a good patient-dentist relationship is so important. If you are a person who suffers from dental anxiety, mention it to your dentist and they will work with you to find a way to alleviate the stress.
Brain Health and LED Polychromatic Light Therapy
The brain controls mood, hormones, memory, executive functions like decision making and planning, personality, movement, mood, concentration, sleep and more. Supporting brain health is essential to successful functioning and quality of life at any age. Light emitting diodes (Red and Near-Infrared LEDs) safely penetrate the skull, which increases circulation in cortical tissues, shows significant improvements in depression and anxiety scores, and in cognitive measures of study participants with TBI. Many research studies show that there are clear indications for the use of these LED’s for neurological conditions including stroke, traumatic brain injury, degenerative brain disease, spinal cord injury, and peripheral nerve regeneration.
Sitting Can Age You
Science tells us that too much sitting can increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, lung disease, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s. A 2017 study looked at 1,500 older women to compare sedentary subjects with active peers. They found that the inactive group had cells that were eight years older than the more active women. Since a more active body means a more active brain, sedentary seniors’ risk lower cognitive function, too. Sitting too much can hurt you even if you exercise regularly. So, break up an hour of sitting with just two minutes of standing or moving around your space. Set an alarm as a reminder!

Exercise – Where to Start?
Make it part of your daily routine, no matter how out of shape you are! The key is to start with something manageable and that you like (or at least don’t hate), and it does not necessarily mean jumping into CrossFit or HIIT right away. I suggest getting up 10 minute earlier in the morning to do some gentle yoga or stretching with some breathing to help set the intention for the day. Taking a walk or bike ride after supper is great not only for movement, to get some of that natural vitamin D, as well as also blunting the blood sugar spike after eating. So start slow and get moving!
