Ask The Expert

Q: My doctor says my occasional weird visual disturbances are migraines even though I don’t get a headache. What’s going on?
A: “Ocular” migraines originate in the visual part of the brain, not the eyes, and for many people they are painless. Hopefully you have some idea what’s triggering them (like foods or stress), and that you’ve ruled out any true eye problems or underlying health issues.

Healthy Mouth, Healthy Life

Maintaining good oral health isn’t just about keeping your teeth and gums healthy – it can have an impact on the rest of your body as well. Research suggests that a buildup of dental plaque can be linked to other health issues, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes complications, and even various types of infections. Brushing and flossing away dental plaque each day can help keep buildup under control and limit your risk of other issues linked to poor oral health. It’s important to see your dentist regularly to ensure your teeth, gums, and other oral tissue are in tip-top shape.

Chi Nei Tsang Abdominal Massage

Chi Nei Tsang (CNT) is an abdominal massage involving gentle stimulation and breathwork to
promote healthy functioning and detoxification of the internal organ systems. By promoting the
circulation of blood and fluids within the spaces of the abdomen, we facilitate the
parasympathetic nervous system’s ability to bring us into a state of rest and digest in order for
the body to nourish and regenerate. CNT can be helpful in the relief of complex conditions
involving stress, anxiety, digestive, and menstrual complaints. In creating space within our core,
we encourage the body’s natural ability to function healthfully and harmoniously.

Related Fall Risks

In addition to mobility, there are other risk factors that can lead to falling: Sensory Deficits; problems with sensation, whether it be with the eyes, ears or feeling in the feet, can increase your risk of falling. Have your eyesight and hearing checked regularly and talk to your doctor if you’re experiencing numbness in your feet. Low Blood Pressure; when we quickly go from lying or sitting to standing, our blood pressure drops, this can interfere with balance, vision and coordination. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded when standing, sit down until your head clears, stand up slowly and ensure you have good footing before taking a step.

Have a Happy Retirement

As retirement age draws near, most of us develop a vision of what those years will look like. Active senior living communities give older adults the support they need to live their best life. Research shows that older adults who have purpose often live longer, healthier lives. Moving to an active senior living community will provide you with access to life-enrichment programs, volunteer opportunities, the companionship of peers, and a variety of activities and programs to participate in. Each of these can aid in finding purpose once you are no longer raising a family or pursuing a career.

Allergies: A Life Sentence?

When an allergic symptom appears, the body is saying that it is struggling to cope with its environment, both internal and external. Allergies often develop when things go wrong with digestion. Continuing to do the same things the same way will reinforce keeping the same health problems. Luckily, the power to be healthy is within you at every moment and seeking guidance is empowering to give your health a new direction. Vega testing can help you in finding information about the imbalances in your body and nutritional consulting will guide you towards healthier habits, so you don’t have to deal with an allergy for the rest of your life.

Want the Best Skin of Your Life?

The normal skin growth cycle is 28 days for a middle–aged adult and can slow down to 60 days or longer in our 50’s and 60’s. As the process slows, dead cells accumulate on the surface of the skin, causing the skin to look dull and thick. Bacteria can become trapped causing blemishes and breakouts. As we grow older, vellus hair or “peach fuzz’ also become more troublesome. Increasing your skin cycle with a regular skincare routine and medical facials will ensure that the outer surface of skin is made of newer skin cells, leading to a softer and more luminous looking skin.
