Rollator Walkers: A Path to Independence

Rollators aren’t just mobility aids—they’re freedom on wheels! Unlike standard walkers, rollators provide better maneuverability, reduced strain on the arms, and allow for resting when needed. Their adjustable heights, comfortable seats, and storage baskets make them practical for daily use. Whether you’re visiting friends, shopping, or enjoying a sunny afternoon, a rollator allows you to maintain an active, engaged lifestyle. Find your perfect rollator at 2346 Millar Avenue to enjoy greater independence with every step!

Keep Your Lymphatic System Flowing

Just like our bowels, the lymphatic system is considered a garbage disposal system of the body. It picks up the fluids from between the cells, brings it into nodes for filtering and cleansing. Old fluids need to move and if they don’t then new nourishing fluids can’t get to the cellular level. Improving the environment of your cells is a great place to start. Lymph nodes hold immune cells. When dead cells, microbes, or toxins enter the lymph nodes, these specialized cells go to work. Seek out our Vetheim Method of Lymphatic Drainage / BodyTalk to get these systems operating more efficiently.

Kick the Habit for a Healthier Smile

April is Oral Health Month, a perfect time to focus on the impact smoking has on your teeth and gums. Tobacco use stains teeth, causes bad breath, and significantly increases the risk of gum disease, tooth loss, and even oral cancer. It weakens your immune system, making it harder for your gums to heal, leading to persistent infections. Quitting smoking can improve blood flow to your gums, reduce inflammation, and lower your risk of serious dental issues. Imagine Laserworks offers a drug-free, painless solution to help you quit smoking, with an impressive 85-94% success rate. Take the first step today!

Staying Social with Hearing Loss

For someone with hearing loss, social situations are challenging. Help improve communication with them by following these simple tips: • Gain their attention before you begin talking. • Speak naturally & don’t shout. Speak distinctly, at a normal rate, using pauses to give the person time to process speech. • Keep your hands away from your face while talking. • Avoid sudden changes of topic. And if the subject is changed, tell them what you are talking about now. • Seat them where they can see as many faces as possible. • Check in. If you think your listener may not be following, convey the information again in shorter, clearer sentences.

Give Your Feet a Healing Treat

Reflexology is a non-invasive therapy that applies pressure and massage to areas on your feet, hands and/or ears to promote the body’s powerful self-healing capabilities and optimize physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. Reflexology of the feet is the most common, and according to reflexologists, you have reflex areas in your feet that correspond with every body part, gland and organ in your body. Done either sitting up or lying down, depending on preference, most who get reflexology treatment comment on how it feels soothing and relaxing, and helps you unwind, de-stress, reduce anxiety, and recharge.

IBS Relief: How Pharmacists Help

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects digestion, causing bloating, cramps, and irregular bowel habits. Probiotics—beneficial bacteria that support gut health—may help manage symptoms by restoring balance in the digestive system. However, not all probiotics work the same way. Your pharmacist can recommend strains suited to your needs, such as Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium species, and guide you on proper dosage. They can also assess medication interactions and lifestyle factors affecting gut health. If you’re struggling with IBS, speak to your pharmacist for expert advice on probiotics and other supportive strategies for digestive wellness.
