Sculptra® is the original injectable collagen stimulator, featuring microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), which helps restore facial skin structure for long-lasting improvement. By stimulating natural collagen production, it firms and smooths the cheek region and tightens the jawline. Treatment areas include the cheeks, where it improves skin quality for firmer, glowing skin; smile lines, softening facial folds and wrinkles; and marionette lines, smoothing the lines from mouth to chin. Typically, 3 sessions are required over a few months.

Words To Live By
“In this present moment there is no fear. Fear is an indicator that your mind is either in the past or the future, making up stories about moments that have already happened or are yet to come.

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.

Food for Thought
What we eat has a powerful impact on brain health, especially as we age. Antioxidants from berries and leafy greens help protect memory, while omega-3s from fish and walnuts reduce inflammation linked to cognitive decline. Whole grains provide steady energy, and healthy fats from avocados, nuts, and seeds keep brain cells strong. On the other hand, too much refined sugar and saturated fat can slow cognition. Staying hydrated and reducing processed foods also supports mental clarity. If meal prep for brain health feels overwhelming, Reliable Home Care is here to help. Contact us to learn how we can provide nutritious, brain-boosting meals that support overall well-being.
