Try an Ionic Foot Detox
Ionic foot detox machines are a revolution in natural medicine, utilizing negative ions to bring the body back into balance, thereby strengthening the immune system, assisting with internal body cleanse, and improving overall health. Our body is made up of positive and negative ions. When we retain excessive toxins, we become more positively charged. The ionic foot detox replaces the positive ions with negative ions and releases toxins through the thousands of pores on the soles of the feet. After your detox, enjoy a delightful foot massage with your choice of lotion. Many people feel very relaxed during the session and energized afterwards.
Feeling Restless?
With everything that’s currently going on in the world, it’s easy to feel restless, overwhelmed or anxious. Rather than stressing about all the uncertainty, now is the time to put your efforts and focus into what you actually can control. Taking time every day for movement or exercise, meditation, gentle stretching, or getting outside for a walk or run in the fresh air will make a world of difference for both your physical and mental well-being. As we navigate these uncertain times, keep on moving!

Fear of Falls Causes Unsafe Behavior
When someone is fearful of falling, they start to avoid everyday activities by staying at home and doing less. This lack of activity leads to loss of strength, reduced muscle tone, and loss of coordination and balance. This physical deterioration increases the risk of falling and if a fall does occur, it further heightens the fear. Turn your fear of falling into positive actions; remain active, exercise regularly, use assistive devices such as walkers or grab bars and wear sensible shoes. Consider joining a group session designed especially to teach balance exercises for fall prevention.
