What many people may not know is that not all progressive lenses are the same. Sure, there are your conventional ones, but now there are also lenses equipped with computer technology in the surface region of the lens. Not your average pair of glasses! Talk about high quality. This is called Freeform Progressive Technology. Freeform lenses can sharpen vision, provide brighter colours, and reduce glare caused by light sources at night. Many leaders in the vision industry see free-form technology as the revolution of vision.

Supporting Your Quitter
If your friend or loved one is trying to quit smoking, there are many ways in which you can support them on their journey. Familiarize yourself with the reasons quitting can be so difficult by reading articles, brochures, and other information. Understand your own relationship with smoking and ensure you are celebrating their successes, being supportive, and avoiding being too critical. Be positive when the person you know who is quitting wants to talk about their goals, setbacks, and other aspects of the process. Helping to distract your friend or loved one, or helping them to de-stress, can also be a great way to offer support.
Do You Have Low Immunity?
Bioresonance therapy can be used to improve your immune system. The immune system is made up of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body against disease. When functioning properly, the immune system identifies and attacks a variety of threats, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites, while distinguishing them from the body’s own healthy tissue. One of the important types of cells involved is white blood cells. Bioresonance therapy can energize the white blood cells so they can do their job more efficiently, helping to boost your immune system.
The State of Wellness
It is very easy to speak of wellness as being in that state where one feels good. While this is one of the main features of it, wellness also includes feeling strong, content, and confident in that quiet knowledge that no matter what happens, you will come out on top… a winner. This is the feeling and confidence that becomes the norm for those who have the experience of being connected in body, mind, and soul to the essence of who they really are.
This state of being is achievable when we integrate the physical body and the emotional body.

There is no pain involved, and there are no side effects or damage to your skin. This safe and natural facelift is beneficial for improvement in the appearance of aged and slackened skin, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, dark circles and puffiness, enlarged pores, and muscle tone.
Why are Sunglasses Important?
Sunglasses are more than a fashion statement; their most important role is protecting your eyes and the surrounding skin from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays. Damage to the eyes includes cataracts, macular degeneration, pterygiums, and cancer. Extended exposure to UV can cause photokeratitis, also known as snowblindness, a temporary but extremely painful sunburn of the eye. Sunglasses also block glare, which increases comfort in bright light. When buying sunglasses, look for ones that block out at least 99% of both UVA and UVB radiation, so you can keep your eyes healthy and your vision clear. A wide-brimmed hat offers great protection, too.
Looking for the Cause
A common misconception in our society is that health issues and most health problems occur on their own. Symptoms are rarely the problem and can cause us to be worried or scared! A holistic approach can address the cause and help to correct the underlying issues. A sound chiropractic approach seeks to find and correct the cause. If this cannot be done, then a proper referral can be made to find the best solution to the health problem. Symptoms are indicators that something else needs to be addressed. While there is nothing wrong with seeking an easy solution to feel better, not looking for the cause is unhealthy!
Your Gut: It’s a bug’s life!
Your body plays host to trillions of bacteria, the majority of which reside in your intestines. Although microscopic in size, these “bugs” play a large and mighty role in everything from digestion to immune system function, as well as gut brain communication and neurotransmitter production. Not all bacteria are beneficial – what we ingest has a big impact on the type and health of these tiny organisms. Consuming a wide variety of prebiotics and probiotics while avoiding processed sugar, excess alcohol, and smoking all works together to create an environment that supports a bug’s life and consequently optimal health and well-being.
