Overcoming Holiday Season Overindulgence

If you’ve overindulged this holiday season, here are some great tips for getting back on track! 1) Practice modified intermittent fasting – start by eliminating nighttime snacking to help support fat burning and better sleep. 2) Increase fibre in the diet for good colon health and binding fat-soluble toxins so they won’t get reabsorbed. 3) Start your day with some warm/room temperature water infused with citrus, cucumber, herbs, ginger, etc. to support fluid intake and liver/kidney health. 4) Practice yoga, Pilates, Qi Gong, or Tai Chi in the mornings to breathe and get blood/lymph moving. 5) Do a sugar detox.

Smoking Affects Your Hearing

Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? If you are a smoker, you can now add increased risk of hearing loss to the list of reasons to quit. The chemicals found in cigarettes may affect the way your ear processes sound. In fact, smokers have been found to be 15% more likely to have hearing loss than non-smokers. Hearing loss isn’t fatal, but it can lead to a number of health-related issues down the line. Dementia & depression have been linked to untreated hearing loss, so be sure to have your ears checked regularly. Get started by scheduling a hearing test today.

What is Your Mouth Telling You?

The state of your mouth can offer valuable insights into your dental, oral and overall health. Any bleeding when you brush your gums is a sign that you should see your dentist. Unhealthy gums can affect your overall health. Atherosclerosis, clogging of the arteries, has a strong link to gum disease. Pain on biting might mean a cracked tooth. Sugar sensitivity usually indicates a cavity. Tenderness to cold might just need a change of toothpaste. Tenderness to hot is likely to be more serious. The only way to find out, for sure, what’s going on is to see your dentist.
