Need Cosmetic Dentures?
Teeth have three main functions: chewing food, lip support, and speech. The loss of your teeth can have negative effects on your self-confidence and your overall quality of life. Since your teeth provide structure and support to your cheeks, tooth loss can result in the sagging of your face. It is essential that your missing teeth are replaced as soon as possible. A new set of cosmetic dentures can instantly improve your appearance and remove facial flaws. Age is inevitable, but cosmetic dentures can help brighten your smile and make you feel young again!
Black Seed Oil
Black seed (Nigella sativa) is the new preferred therapeutic oil prized for its immune-boosting and antibacterial benefits to reduce respiratory, viral, and digestive ailments. This oil has been used medicinally in Middle Eastern cultures for millennia. Anecdotally, it’s been said to “cure everything
except for death!” And the research is starting to back that up. Studies show that this versatile oil can regulate the immune system, benefit blood sugar, and has anti-cancer activity (Butt et al, 2010). Even though it’s known for its medicinal power, it can be used in cooking and food preparation. Look for a coldpressed black seed oil and for a synergistic blend, use oregano oil and black seed oil together. Look for a combination with vitamins A and D added to give your immune system the best tools to beat the bugs!

Something More?
No matter what your circumstances, no matter what the past or present, there has always been the hope of connecting with “something more”. Somehow, somewhere tucked away in the recesses of your soul, a part of you has always considered the possibility of that connection and yearned for it. Sometimes, the yearning was strong and urgent. Sometimes, it was so hidden that it was not even identifiable. But it was always there. Perhaps it’s now your turn to explore your own spiritual evolution. Journaling and meditation are two spiritual practices to get you started.
What Do Denturists Do?
Denturists help those who are missing some or all of their natural teeth. They design, repair, reline, and make removable dental appliances. Your denturist will collaborate with you, your family, and other healthcare professionals to promote and maintain your oral health.
When making a set of dentures, the objectives are:
• supporting and protecting your gums and the bones in your mouth;
• enhancing your face and holding your jaws the proper distance apart;
• carefully choosing individual teeth to match what you already have; and
• allowing you to speak clearly and chew without stress.
Hair Loss and Prostate Cancer
Benign prostate enlargement and scalp hair loss are quite common among middle-aged males. The problems are known to come from the same origin, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Scientists in Australia found that men with bald spots at the top of their heads were 1.5 times more likely to have prostate cancer than those without bald spots. The association was particularly strong for men who were diagnosed with high-grade prostate cancer at 60–69 years of age. In contrast, there was no link between a receding front hairline and cancer.
Working to Live or Living to Work?
Many of us are addicted to the feeling of productivity, efficiency, and accomplishment. Creating lists and stroking them off rarely stopping, constantly doing, over-compensating, chasing the need to be needed, and by doing so, over-riding our energy and wellbeing. Striving to feel accomplished and good enough! The funny thing is…there will always be more work to be had, more needs to be filled, and getting ahead doesn’t really exist. Curious…what would happen if we begin working to live? No longer superseding our needs and desires, setting firm boundaries around our work schedules and hours, not letting our cell phones and texts interrupt or run us in the present moment, unplugging each day and listening to the rhythm of our bodies and soul’s desire… slowing down, welcoming in a new pace and place to honour laughter and the joy of being.
