Many seniors, whether they need short term or long-term care, prefer remaining in a place most familiar to them – their home. By removing elderly loved ones from their home we often take away years of memories, relationships with neighbors and communities which can lead to a decline in health and leave them feeling sad and isolated. If Mom or Dad is willing to explore the idea of home care, involve them in the process and remember to take it slow at first. Home is still the safest place to receive care!

Being physically active is a major step toward good heart health. It’s one of your most effective tools for strengthening the heart muscle, keeping your weight under control and warding off the artery damage from high cholesterol, high blood sugar and high blood pressure that can lead to heart attack or stroke. Doing aerobics or resistance training will help reduce your risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death in Canada.

Physical and emotional wellbeing impacts our energy, learning, focus, motivation, time management, communication, our personal and professional relationships, and even our waistlines. During the past three decades, developments in biology, neurology, and psychology have demonstrated the mind-body connection and proven total wellbeing must incorporate ALL dimensions of our lives. Empowered, you learn and understand how and why you make choices, develop more clarity about personal responsibility for our personal and professional lives. Resulting in creating a wellbeing that is continuing toward higher levels of health and optimal living with ongoing awareness and action.

Are you a caregiver to your children and your aging parents? If so, you’re part of the “sandwich generation,” a group of adults who are “sandwiched” between caregiving responsibilities for their young and elderly loved ones. This generation of caregivers has its own unique stresses and challenges, spending on average about three hours per day on unpaid care while also working full-time. These challenges can take a toll on this group’s health, finances, and emotions. Thankfully, home care agencies can help relieve some of the stress by providing quality care for senior loved ones in their own homes.

Over time, healthy skin cells become unable to renew themselves normally. This may be due to a skin problem or a consequence of sun exposure or aging. LED light recharges these cells, energising them to heal and rejuvenate faster, promoting healing from the inside out. The cell metabolism then builds collagen, increases elasticity, boosts circulation, accelerates tissue repair or kills bacteria. Laboratory studies have shown up to 150 to 200 per cent faster skin cell regeneration and increased hydration up to 600%. LED therapy is suitable for all skin types. It can also be used to treat inflammatory problems such as acne and rosacea.

When your back chronically hurts you are told it is a sign of aging and degeneration, which is very true … but did you know there is a method of treatment to regenerate your back? Acupuncture and ozone therapy results in about 75% of chronic pain sufferers to become permanently pain free. Chronic pain occurs in areas of the body that contain ligaments, cartilage or articular surfaces which makes them especially vulnerable to the effects of decreased oxygen utilization and aging. Ozone gives the tissues what they need to heal. And as they heal, the circulation to the area is re-established.
