Chronic stress is harmful to people of all ages, but its impact on older adults can be particularly severe, increasing the risk of age-related diseases, hastening cognitive decline and even triggering falls. Stressors that are common amongst the elderly include: loss of control, personal loss, declining health, financial worries, personal safety and loss of independence. To reduce stress, get regular exercise, eat balanced meals to ensure the mind and body are properly fueled and ask for help. Talking with a trusted family member, friend or healthcare professional, at the very least, releases pent-up stress and may even lead to a solution.

As many may agree, wealth is about having money and possessions (our net worth). However, you may have also heard that ‘money cannot buy happiness’. By shifting the concept of wealth to “Wellth”, we shift the priority from finding the tangible/objective (wealth) to the internally realized/subjective (wellth), which leads to greater wellness and health for individual and for our community. By emphasizing “Real” we highlight that it is in the here-and-now, not focused on the future or past. Building wellness and health today is what really makes us wealthy, which supports our idea of “Real Wellth” and why it needs to be a priority.

Our brain is the most amazing part of our body. It comes up with creative ways to express our thoughts and emotions, coordinates movements, stores our most precious childhood memories, and solves the Sunday crossword. But it’s easy to take these powers for granted. As we age, our brain needs more activity to keep it young. Learning to play a game or music increases brain stimulation. In-depth reading stimulates the brain to think, focus and analyze. Research studies indicate reading just 30 minutes a day boosts memory because it uses many parts of the brain. It is believed reading fiction enhances brain connectivity and function.

Many people believe that dentures last forever but the reality
is that they need to be serviced regularly and replaced about
every five years. Wearing the same dentures for more than five
years without having them checked can result in; softening of
the gums, painful and irritated gums, accelerated bone loss,
more laborious chewing and difficult digestion and a crumpled
mouth. It can also lead to headaches, ear aches, neck pain and
joint problems as well as a whole host of other issues. Regular
consultation with your denturist to have your dentures checked
and cleaned may prevent problems in the future.
