Covid-19’s second wave crashed hard onto our shores. Although public health orders restricted our holiday festivities, our credit card bills may be starting to pile up. During these times, online gambling can become attractive to people seeking to relieve stress or to alleviate financial burdens. This could potentially place us in a position to gamble beyond our means, especially when left to our own devices and seeking comfort. If you or someone you love is struggling with a gambling issue, please call 1-888-795-6111. Or go to https://bit.ly/3nxYiFV to directly send a message. A Gambling Outreach Support worker will contact you within 24 hours.

Benefits of Fulvic Minerals
“When I started using Fulvic Minerals, my life changed overnight. I started sleeping, my body seemed to go into repair mode and I started to feel more like my old self”.

Preventing Falls
With colder weather comes slippery sidewalks. Falls prevention is key in maintaining health and longevity. Keep your body active to keep your balance. Take a look at your rugs, flooring, lights and stairs. If the rug is curling fix it or get rid of it! If the lighting is poor install higher wattage bulbs. If the stairs are not safe, install a railing or look into a stair lift. Monitor blood pressure, stay hydrated and take medications as directed. Look down and make sure you are wearing well fitting foot wear. Prevention is always better than recovery. Call Comfort Keepers today, we can help!

Health is a Precious Asset
The arrival of the new year brings new ideas, excitement and New Year’s resolutions. 2020 brought into focus the realization that health is our most precious asset. In the upcoming year, many of us choose to adopt healthy habits including revamping our diets and exercise. Reducing risk factors are another way to improve our health. We participate in risk reduction by wearing masks and physical distancing. For seniors, one of the biggest risk factors is not being able to quickly access help in an emergency. Whether fall or other emergency, quick access to help is directly correlated to improved outcomes.

When your back chronically hurts you are told it is a sign of aging and degeneration, which is very true … but did you know there is a method of treatment to regenerate your back? Acupuncture and ozone therapy results in about 75% of chronic pain sufferers to become permanently pain free. Chronic pain occurs in areas of the body that contain ligaments, cartilage or articular surfaces which makes them especially vulnerable to the effects of decreased oxygen utilization and aging. Ozone gives the tissues what they need to heal. And as they heal, the circulation to the area is re-established.
