Book Club: Ultra-Processed People
Ultra-Processed People by Dr. Chris van Tulleken explores how ultra-processed foods shape our health, appetite, and society. The book explains how these foods are engineered to be addictive, disrupt metabolism, and contribute to obesity, diabetes, and chronic disease. Drawing on science, personal experience, and public health research, van Tulleken highlights how modern food environments influence behavior more than willpower. The book encourages greater awareness, food literacy, and systemic change to support healthier eating habits.
Is Sugar Harmful for Denture Wearers?
Sugar can significantly impact the oral health of denture wearers. Though dentures aren’t susceptible to cavities, sugars in the diet still encourage bacterial growth in the mouth. Bacteria feed on sugars, which leads to plaque buildup on dentures and gums, potentially causing bad breath, gum irritation, and infections. If dentures aren’t cleaned thoroughly, sugar residue can create a sticky environment for bacteria to thrive. High sugar intake also increases the risk of oral thrush, a common fungal infection for denture wearers. Limiting sugary foods and drinks, maintaining proper denture hygiene, and rinsing after meals help keep the mouth healthy.

Supporting Your Quitter
Supporting a loved one while they quit smoking means being patient, encouraging, and understanding. Quitting is challenging, and mood changes or setbacks are common, so avoid judgment and celebrate small victories. Offer practical help, like removing triggers, joining them on walks, or suggesting healthy distractions during cravings. Listen when they need to vent, and remind them why they chose to quit without pressuring them. Encouragement works best when it feels genuine and consistent. Most importantly, reassure them that setbacks don’t equal failure and that you believe in their ability to succeed, one step at a time.
Naturopathic Approach to Fatty Liver Disease
Fatty liver disease occurs when excess fat builds up in liver cells, impairing the liver’s ability to regulate blood sugar, process fats, and detoxify the body. It often develops without symptoms and is commonly linked to insulin resistance, metabolic imbalance, chronic inflammation, and lifestyle factors. A naturopathic approach addresses the whole person by supporting nutrition, metabolism, gut health, movement, and stress. Care focuses on reducing added sugars and refined carbohydrates, balancing meals with protein and fibre, and emphasizing whole foods. Key nutrients, regular movement, quality sleep, and stress management support liver function. With early, individualized care, fatty liver disease is often reversible.
Beautiful Blooms for Easter Joy
Easter flowers bring fresh color and hope into homes and hearts. Spring blooms like lilies, tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths symbolize renewal, joy, and new beginnings, making them perfect for the Easter season. White lilies are often associated with purity and faith, while bright tulips and daffodils reflect happiness and the return of sunshine. Adding fresh flowers to your table or entryway is a simple way to celebrate the season and welcome spring. Whether gifted to loved ones or enjoyed at home, Easter flowers are a beautiful reminder of growth, gratitude, and new life.
Nutritional Needs for Seniors
As you age, your nutritional needs change, which is why it’s important to adjust your diet accordingly to improve the way you think and feel. Eating a diet that is high in fiber and rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes promotes a healthy digestive tract, prevents constipation, and maintains a healthy body weight. Antioxidant-rich foods, such as berries, cabbage, beans, and spinach help to fight against free radicals and boost immune function. Foods that are rich in omega 3 fatty acids such as fish, walnuts and flaxseeds help improve cognitive function. Following a well-balanced diet every day is crucial in leading a long, happy, and healthy life.
