Are You A Mosquito Magnet?
Did you ever wonder why some people are mosquito magnets, while others are hardly bothered? One theory is based on the fact that your skin is a source of elimination. Eat too much garlic, and it will literally come through your pores. If sugars are not metabolized properly, the byproducts must be eliminated, and one of those pathways is the skin. It is believed that mosquitos are attracted to the excess metabolized sugar. Vitamin B1 is known to help the body burn sugars more efficiently, thereby reducing excess sugar coming out of the pores, and your skin from attracting mosquitos. Nutritional testing can reveal if you are lacking B1 and other essential nutrients that are making you a mosquito magnet.

By fostering connections and providing a sense of belonging, these services contribute to the overall well-being and happiness of our loved ones.
Summer Serenity for Older Adults
Living in a senior residence during the summer offers numerous benefits that enhance both comfort and well-being. These communities provide air-conditioned spaces, shielding residents from extreme heat, and often feature beautifully maintained outdoor areas perfect for safe, enjoyable strolls. Social activities and events are plentiful, fostering companionship and reducing isolation, which is especially crucial during longer summer days. Access to medical care and emergency services ensures peace of mind. Nutritious, chef-prepared meals eliminate the hassle of cooking in hot weather. Overall, senior residences offer a supportive, engaging, and temperature-controlled environment, making summer not only bearable but enjoyable.

Aging At Home
Many seniors would prefer to stay at home than move into a senior care home, but there are some challenges to consider. Factors like finances, physical mobility, social network, health concerns, and safety in the home are all things to think about. If you decide to remain in your home, discuss your plans with your family or a trusted advisor. It’s important to prepare your home to ensure you can live comfortably and safely there, using various aids and tools to make things easier. In-home care can also provide much-needed day-to-day support, as well as transportation to appointments and gatherings.
Surprising Sleep Tips
According to the Canadian Government, one-quarter of adults report problems with falling or staying asleep, most, or all of the time. Here are some surprising tips to improve your sleep. #1- Close your eyes and roll them backward. Rolling your eyes causes your brain to release melatonin, a natural sleep hormone. #2- Breathe through your nose, not your mouth. Breathing through the mouth can have a stress effect on the brain. Breathing through the nose sends relaxation signals to your brain. #3- Tell yourself “I’m not going to sleep”. Reverse psychology works better than you think. Give these tips a try tonight to help you get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer.
