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.

Invest in Your Wellness
The benefits of floatation therapy are numerous and far-reaching. One of the most appealing benefits is enhancing creativity, learning, and memory to give a boost to our ability to think, learn, and solve problems. Flotation therapy can also help us relax, which can lead to reduced blood pressure and cortisol levels, elevated moods, better sleep, and improved self-esteem. Other physical benefits include faster muscle recovery thanks to flotation therapy’s ability to reduce lactic acid and perceived pain levels, as well as fewer tension headaches from a tight neck and tense shoulders. Take some time to float yourself to wellness!
Decluttering and Creating Flow
Did you know that our physical environment can affect our mental state? A cluttered countertop or disorganized closet can make us feel uneasy or change our mood. Here are some ways to improve the organization of your home and create a proper flow, free of physical (and mental) barriers. 1) Declutter countertops in your kitchen and bathroom. 2) Keep hallways free from clutter. 3) Consider using round tables in your home. 4) Choose furniture that properly fits the room it’s in. 5) Use a similar colour palette throughout the house. 6) Let the light in by not blocking any windows.

Q: When I look at myself on the computer during a Zoom meeting, I notice my glasses look very reflective even though they have an anti-reflective coating. How could I fix that? A: If your anti-reflective coating has a blue sheen, it can reflect the bright bluish light that is coming from your screen, or from other cold LED light sources around you. Reducing the screen or ambient illumination would help. Changing the colour of your screen (using dark or night mode, or using filtering covers) would help too. As a last resort, you could try anti-reflective lenses with some other sheen than blue.
