Lympatox helps optimize the function of the lymphatic system. Why is this important? Because a properly functioning lymphatic system is required for helping with allergy symptoms long-term, improving immunity, and increasing cellular exchanges throughout the body. The lymphatic system, which is considered part of the circulatory system, acts as the body’s drainage system and aids with the elimination of exogenous and endogenous toxins. Lymph and lymphatic vessels transport waste throughout the body to the lymph nodes, which then filter waste and bacteria to prevent it from entering the bloodstream. Keep your lymphatic system working its best with Lymphatox!

Do you have Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. If you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night’s sleep, you might have sleep apnea. The main types of sleep apnea are: Obstructive sleep apnea and Central sleep apnea. Obstructive is the more common form that occurs when throat muscles relax. Central sleep apnea occurs when your brain doesn’t send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing. The most common symptoms for both types include loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, awakening with a dry mouth, morning headache, insomnia, daytime sleepiness and irritability.
What is TRT Tinnitus Retraining Therapy?
Tinnitus is a symptom of an underlying condition, so it’s important to address the cause. TRT begins with an extensive audiological evaluation to help to determine the cause of the tinnitus followed by specialized testing to both match the tone and volume of the tinnitus. This will help determine if the cause is simply wax, an ear infection, an auditory tumor or damage to the inner ear. Then from there your practitioner can either remove wax, treat the infection, refer to ENT or program devices to stimulate the damaged area of the cochlea and hopefully relieve the client of those annoying sounds.
There’s No Place Like Home
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!

Tea and Toast Syndrome
“Tea and toast syndrome” refers to malnutrition in seniors when a lack of desire or inability to prepare and/or eat proper meals results in them relying on simpler meals like tea and toast. Seniors who skip meals almost daily, have gained/lost more than 10 pounds in the past six months, take medications, have dental issues, or have a disability can be at risk for malnutrition. Some common signs to watch for include unexplained weight loss, fatigue, memory issues, digestive issues, a weak immune system, muscle weakness, and anemia. There are support services available to help seniors eat well and regularly!
Ask The Expert
Q: Is it worth wearing sunglasses if my lens implants (from cataract surgery) have UV protection built in?
A: In short, yes. The protection from ultraviolet light in lens implants is meant to protect the interior of the eye (mainly the retina) from sun damage. However, these implants cannot protect the more exterior parts of the eye, like the cornea, the conjunctiva, and the skin on the eyelids. Many types of prescription lenses for glasses already have some UV or blue light protection, even if they are not sunglasses. This may be worth checking during your next eye exam.
