Spring Cleaning

Kitchens and bathrooms are breeding grounds for germs, so keeping them clean just makes good sense. But did you know about the link between tidy living spaces and mental wellness? After these long, dark winter months spring cleaning can revive not only your home but also your mind and spirit. Mess equals stress and it keeps you from things you love and contributes to feeling overwhelmed. We all want a clean home, but not everyone knows how to achieve this.

Here are 3 steps to creating a routine that works for you:

  1. Create a task list room by room.
  2. Decide how often each task should be performed (daily, weekly, monthly).
  3. Set aside 45 minutes each day to check items off your list (15 minutes before work, after work and before bedtime works just as well)

Denture ‘Info Bite’

Implant supported dentures provide better health-related quality of life than conventional dentures. Dentures can either be retained through the natural anatomy of your mouth and the suction it creates, or they can be retained by natural teeth. If you are missing all your teeth we would typically recommend placing at least 2 implants in the jaw. Small attachments (Locator Attachments) go on to the implant and snap into the denture. This helps the denture to stay put and is also much more comfortable to wear. With better retention and stability, implant dentures are a much better option than conventional dentures. They also help maintain bone, which helps maintain your facial structure and appearance. Not to mention they help you eat better and eating well is the key to general well-being.

You Asked? Sour Cherry Juice

What are the health benefits of sour cherries? Sour cherries naturally contain antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and melatonin. Sour, tart, and pie cherries are all references to a cherry with a high acid level. It is these cherries that carry the highest acid levels, and the darker the pigmentation the higher the benefits.

It is recommended to take a dose of at least 2 oz. a day. When starting out stick to this, but once you have been on it a while and you recognize the benefits you could adjust. As for when to take it, because of the natural melatonin, take in the evening for best results. Sour cherry juice also helps with gout, which is caused by a buildup of uric acid. The natural acids in the juice breaks down the uric acid crystals in your blood and gets it moving.
